Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 702

boat.

It was shrouded in a gray mist, completely different from before.

Shen Ye was a little hesitant.

But the entire ship had already been transformed by the “Art of Fate Creation.”

He had to make contact with it.

If a normal communication mechanism could be established, his situation wouldn’t be too dangerous.

Shen Ye thought this to himself as he took a step forward.

Creak.

A soft sound.

Shen Ye’s whole body swayed.

He looked down and saw his foot had sunk into a broken iron plate.

—This was the floor that had been damaged during the previous battle.

“Hiss—”

Shen Ye sucked in a cold breath, then pulled hard.

—His foot didn’t come out!

A line of faint glowing text immediately popped up:

“A supremely fortunate event has occurred!”

Shen Ye was stunned.

My foot is stuck here.

Is this considered fortunate?

Wait a minute…

How could a being like me not have seen that hole?

He pondered, pulled his foot out, and walked forward again.

Splash—

His foot got stuck again!

The faint glowing text popped up again:

“Fortune doubled!”

Shen Ye slowly retreated.

—Retreating went smoothly, without any mishaps.

This proved one thing—

Not being able to go forward was extremely fortunate.

Shen Ye suddenly remembered the man saying “Good luck” when he left.

…That remark had a deeper meaning after all.

Alright.

Then I won’t go forward!

He turned around and walked to the opened deck, looking at the stairs extending downwards.

—It was said to be “a prepared parallel world,” “the safest moment for this ship.”

Then go in first!

He currently couldn’t perform “Void Creation,” so he might as well stay in a safe place for a while.

Shen Ye stepped onto the stairs.

Behind him, a sharp and strange sound suddenly came from the direction of Zone C.

Something seemed to be rushing over.

—Should he take a look?

Shen Ye was hesitating when he was suddenly struck by an invisible force, freezing him in place.

Faint glowing text instantly popped up:

“You have been immobilized by a being spawned on the ship.”

“This is a technique of thought, inescapable.”

“Warning!”

“You are currently immobile and are about to be preyed upon!”

What—

He was actually immobilized just like that!

Shen Ye immediately tried to summon his other two clones, but then his foot slipped, and he fell onto the stairs, instantly rolling down.

He rolled all the way down the stairs, directly onto the broad ground below.

Unbelievable!

He actually stumbled like this?

Shen Ye was incredulous, but then found that the spell was lifted.

—After all, this was already another world, and the opponent’s thoughts couldn’t extend here!

Shen Ye sprang to his feet and looked up.

The stairs leading upward still stood intact.

But the topmost step was broken.

This separated it from the main world, forming a parallel world that didn’t interfere with each other.

Not only that.

Shen Ye found himself now on a normal Shore Beyond ship.

—This was the Shore Beyond that hadn’t been modified by future monsters!

Two lines of faint glowing text quietly appeared:

“Three fortunes have been used up.”

“From now on, you’re on your own.”

Shen Ye composed himself.

Three fortunes!

They practically ushered him into this parallel world!

—It seemed that if he had stayed on that ship, he would have met with disaster.

Shen Ye gradually calmed down.

“Pah.”

He spat out a mouthful of blood and leaned against the railing, slowly sitting down on the ground.

He was too tired.

As an A-rank professional, participating in S-rank and super S-rank battles had exhausted his spirit and strength.

“Seventh Uncle… save me…”

Shen Ye groaned.

The void shimmered.

A bowl of instant noodles and a bottle of iced cola appeared before him.

The instant noodles were steaming hot.

“This is the fastest, have some of this first, I’ll make a feast right away.”

Seventh Uncle’s voice chimed in hurriedly.

“Thanks,” Shen Ye struggled to sit up, first taking a sip of iced cola to refresh himself, then slowly started eating the noodles.

The noodles smelled so good.

He drank all the broth.

Two lines of faint glowing text appeared in the void at the appropriate time:

“A meal has been completed.”

“Your injuries have healed slightly.”

Not enough!

Still not enough!

But Shen Ye didn’t rush, just sat there silently waiting.

Fortunately, Seventh Uncle was highly efficient.

“Done!” he shouted.

“What is it?” Shen Ye asked impatiently.

Whoosh—

Two bowls of instant noodles and four bottles of iced cola appeared before Shen Ye.

“…6.”

Shen Ye said.

“No, it’s not,” Seventh Uncle said, “You eat first, I’m still making the feast.”

What could Shen Ye say?

He did love instant noodles, and looking again—there was even a sausage in it—this pairing was very reasonable.

Besides, was he eating for the sake of it?

He was receiving treatment!

“Void Creation” needed three days to recover.

This was because his strength wasn’t enough.

If he used “Future Walker” to increase his strength, even a temporary boost, it might shorten the cooldown time of “Void Creation.”

But now he was overdrawn.

Only by eating what Seventh Uncle made could he quickly recover and use “Future Walker” again!

Shen Ye hugged the noodle bowl, slurping up the noodles, occasionally taking a sip of iced cola, eating with great gusto.

Seventh Uncle’s feast was finally ready.

A dozen dishes and a roasted whole lamb were laid out. Shen Ye ate heartily, devouring all the food clean.

“Full—ah, truly full—and my body has recovered too!”

He was drenched in sweat and rested for a while.

When his body gradually returned to its optimal state.

He suddenly took out a wall, placed it on the deck, and called out:

“Maria.”

“Wait a moment,” Maria’s fresco appeared on the wall, “There’s another me here—a parallel world me.”

“Do you want us to coexist, or do you want me to replace her?”

“Either is fine, I have no opinion, you decide,” Shen Ye said.

“Don’t you want me to become stronger?”

Maria said cryptically.

Shen Ye understood.

“Is the other you willing?” he asked.

“Willing, our wills are connected,” Maria said.

No sooner had she spoken.

Another Maria appeared on the fresco.

Both Marias looked at Shen Ye, smiling and full of anticipation.

—Although the situation seemed a bit strange, Shen Ye already knew what he had to do.

He extended both hands.

The two Marias leaned forward, each taking one of his hands.

“Fusion.”

Shen Ye whispered.

In an instant.

Lines of faint glowing text appeared:

“You have activated the term ‘Mandala Uroboros,’ merging two Holy Mothers into one.”

“Due to extremely high compatibility, this fusion still resulted in super-limit evolution.”

“True Holy Mother Maria has descended.”

Shen Ye stepped back a few paces, gazing at the woman in the fresco, feeling that she seemed to have changed slightly from her original self.

“Shen Ye, the me hidden on the Shore Beyond ship guards an ultimate secret.”

Holy Mother Maria said.

“What is it?” Shen Ye asked.

“I can’t say yet—speaking it would cause world-destroying consequences,” Maria said.

Shen Ye was a bit speechless.

If she couldn’t say, why pique his interest?

“Don’t be disappointed.”

Maria reached out from the fresco and lightly tapped his forehead:

“Those who can reach here are incredible, top-tier beings, and will surely receive the mission I hold.”

Shen Ye was gently caressed by her finger.

Lines of faint glowing text suddenly flashed before his eyes:

“You have received the acknowledgment of Holy Mother Maria.”

“It is detected that you have come into contact with the Shore Beyond, have come into contact with the future, and have taken on a future profession, thus passing all restrictions and gaining special permission.”

“You have reached ‘Match Point’.”

“Currently activating the final mission of the Eternal Poem:”

“Awaken.”

“The truth behind all illusions, the beginning of the activation of the fourth mission, the touch that guards the ultimate secret.”

“Description: Survive on the true Shore Beyond ship until you find that last precious door and inherit its abilities.”

“Mission Reward: Holy Mother Maria will personally explain the fourth mission, which is the ultimate secret.”

“—It is the final step, and also the true beginning.”

Shen Ye quickly read through it, then pondered, and his gaze met Holy Mother Maria’s again.

“Although the ultimate secret cannot be told, there are some things I can discuss with you now.”

Holy Mother Maria said.

“What is it?” Shen Ye asked.

“Now that only you are left in the entire ‘present,’ do you know why?” Holy Mother Maria asked.

Shen Ye sighed and said, “Yes, I can only briefly summon everyone to come, and they descend upon me—I am always just one person, why is this?”

“Because the root of all power is the Dharma Realm.”

“The core rule of the Dharma Realm is the ‘Staircase System’—besides strength, one must also have sufficiently quick adaptability, the most intelligent strategic choices, the ability to survive in various situations, gain benefits, and ascend step by step.”

“In this process, those who are eliminated are trapped in their original ‘worlds’.”

“Only those who are constantly ascending will continuously ‘change worlds,’ just like you.”

Hearing this, Shen Ye couldn’t help but ask:

“So I stand at the ‘highest point’ recognized by the Dharma Realm?”

“Yes,” Maria said.

“I don’t quite believe it—the man who descended upon me, and the Lord of High Dimensions, they are both stronger than me.”

“Why couldn’t they come here in the end?”

“Only I am here!”

“Why is this?”

Maria shook her head and smiled: “Their affairs are related to the ultimate secret and cannot be spoken of.”

“—If you find that door in the Shore Beyond, I will tell you.”

The matter returned to his mission.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but sigh again.

This was too difficult.

He only retreated to this parallel world to rest because of the power of “fortune” which prevented him from being reckless.

If he had gone forward just now—

The outcome would have been hard to say.

“I have a question,” Shen Ye said.

“Ask away,” Maria said.

“If I had stayed in the main world and fought the Shore Beyond ship, what would have been the result?” Shen Ye asked.

“You would have been entropically disintegrated,” Maria said.

“Then what if I’ve recovered my strength now and go back to fight?”

“The result would not change.”

“…Understood.”

He wouldn’t even survive!

How was he supposed to find that door hidden on the ship?

Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

He stood on the ship, thinking about tactics against the enemy.

Time slowly passed.

Two days went by.

He suddenly moved his eyes and said:

“Maria, that ship was modified before it became invincible, right?”

“Yes,” Maria said with certainty, “That future monster is extremely powerful; it directly subdued the Shore Beyond—have you thought of a countermeasure?”

“Fighting is not an option; I must first gather intelligence,” Shen Ye said.

“But you’ll die if you go over there now,” Maria shook her head.

“I don’t need to go over to get information about that ship—although it will be a simplified version, it will still be useful.”

Shen Ye said.

Maria asked in confusion:

“I don’t understand.”

Shen Ye knelt on one knee, pressed his hand to the floor, and whispered:

“There’s also a Shore Beyond here, and—”

“Like that monster, I can also use ‘Void Creation’.”

In an instant.

Shen Ye’s spell was activated.

The ground vibrated without cessation.

A long, majestic roar echoed from the depths of the Shore Beyond ship.

—The ship was alive!
