Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 711

“You should all be my sons.”

The words left his mouth.

Shen Ye entered combat mode.

His hand rested on the hilt of his saber, his gaze sweeping over the monsters, feeling utterly refreshed.

Yes.

Cursing is also part of life.

When you curse, you are definitely venting your emotions.

Shen Ye had been fighting for so long, with his three bodies working non-stop, he hadn’t even had time to rest. He was already incredibly annoyed.

Now, it was time to fight.

Before the battle.

To verbally abuse the enemy.

—This was something he had already planned!

“How about it, sons? Do you have any objections?”

Shen Ye asked further.

He was practically about to make his move.

However—

The monsters stared at him blankly, all motionless.

—Not exactly.

Their eyeballs were rolling.

They looked Shen Ye up and down, from head to toe and back, as if appraising him.

But they showed no intention of fighting.

“?” Shen Ye.

No way.

Are they seriously considering this?

But why would I want so many monster sons? To tell everyone that my genes are prone to mutation?

Shen Ye inexplicably felt uneasy.

To fight.

It seemed there was still a hidden truth on the other side, some information that could be unearthed.

Not to fight.

I’ve already said I’m your father, and you’re not going to attack?

The Soul Orb suddenly spoke:

“Indeed, you are the sole medium to the future.”

“But how history reached this point, we still need to understand.”

Shen Ye didn’t believe it.

“Understand? History is entirely a testing ground created by you. What more do you need to understand?”

He stared at the Soul Orb and asked.

To his surprise, the Soul Orb answered his question earnestly:

“We specifically enhanced the experimental process, striving for us to be the ultimate victors, not you humans.”

“Therefore.”

“Why the experiment resulted in you, a human, boarding the ship alone—”

“History will soon provide the answer.”

As the words fell.

Shen Ye immediately sensed something.

The void was trembling.

The ship, along with all the monsters, began to split apart.

No—

It wasn’t splitting; rather, everything that existed transformed into countless overlapping shadows.

Shen Ye raised his hand.

His own hand also became many overlapping hands.

In countless worlds, countless versions of himself raised countless hands.

“This is… the overlapping images of parallel worlds.”

Shen Ye murmured.

Looking around.

Every version of himself in each world was slightly different from his current self.

Some bore injuries, some looked significantly older, some were missing an arm.

—In countless parallel timelines, his experiences were completely different!

But—

How could this be?

Lines of faint glowing text quietly appeared:

“Due to your multiple selves existing in the past, present, and future, your actions in the present will inevitably cause changes across all three dimensions.”

“Attention.”

“Your meeting with the enemy has created tremendous uncertainty, making the ‘present’ unstable and generating many parallel worlds.”

“Only when everything in the ‘past’ is resolved can the ‘present’ be reshaped!”

“Everything is in flux!”

Shen Ye quickly read it, then looked at the Soul Orb again.

“What exactly have you done?”

He asked.

“Just some preparations—you don’t need to know, because they happened in the past era,” the Soul Orb said.

Shen Ye paused, then said, “Makes sense.”

“Perhaps you wish to return to the past and obstruct what we’ve done?” the Soul Orb asked.

“Why not?” Shen Ye replied.

He stepped back a few paces, looking as if he was ready to withdraw at any moment.

“It’s no use,” the Soul Orb said lazily, “Time has already been locked by us.”

“What do you mean?” Shen Ye asked.

“From this moment on, no one—including us—can travel through time,” the Soul Orb stated.

Shen Ye glanced to its side, only to see that Mogahou had vanished.

“What exactly are you trying to do?”

Shen Ye demanded in a low voice.

Perhaps Shen Ye’s panicked expression made the Soul Orb unable to resist continuing—

After all, it would be extremely careful not to reveal any information it shouldn’t.

The Soul Orb laughed loudly, saying:

“I won’t tell you anything about the past. All you need to know is—”

“We exhausted all our power to completely lock time.”

“Just wait and see.”

“The last human.”

Shen Ye finally became nervous.

Although he had a clone in the past, he had no idea what the other party was planning now.

“We’ll see.”

He retreated rapidly, flying towards his large ship.

The monsters did not pursue him.

They simply watched Shen Ye leave quietly.

…

In the past.

Historical fragments.

Half a month had passed.

During this half a month, the young Shen Ye had practiced his saber techniques tirelessly, almost to the point of obsession.

His saber skills improved at a visible rate.

This was partly because he had comprehended all sorts of bizarre arts and combat techniques, and partly due to the existence of the “Endless Serpent Ring, All Laws Harmonized” trait.

Under the power of this trait, all the laws of the spiritual world transformed into his own abilities.

He could freely control and utilize all laws!

From this vantage point, to further refine his saber techniques, and with the law-governed being “White Emperor” constantly offering suggestions and sparring,

His saber skills progressed by leaps and bounds!

Today.

As usual, Shen Ye practiced from sunrise to sunset.

It was almost dark.

Only then did he sheath his saber, wipe his sweat, grab a bottle of iced drink and gulp a few mouthfuls, enjoying the sea breeze, taking a brief rest.

—Work-life balance was still necessary.

“Want to go grab something to eat with me?”

Shen Ye asked.

“No, thanks,” White Emperor’s voice was muffled, “Sparring is too tiring, I need to rest.”

“Alright, I’ll go by myself then.”

Shen Ye put down the drink bottle, rubbed his belly, and planned to find something to eat.

Although he had plenty of food in his storage ring, Shen Ye had recently taken a liking to a type of grilled flatbread on the island.

After each practice session, he would go to the island to eat.

He walked directly through the door and landed by a small path on the island.

He walked to the end, turned onto the main road, and strolled forward along the breezy, tree-shaded path.

Suddenly.

Shen Ye frowned slightly, stopping his steps.

The atmosphere felt off.

—There weren’t many people on the street.

Not only that.

In the past, numerous professionals crowded the tea houses, restaurants, and bars, but now, not even a single soul was in sight.

This was early evening, the liveliest time of the day.

Those who worked during the day would also come out to enjoy the cool air and relax at this time.

Why was no one here?

Where were the people?

Just as Shen Ye was wondering, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear:

“You should be grateful.”

Shen Ye flinched back tens of meters as if shocked, then suddenly unleashed a saber strike.

The strike was utterly without warning.

Even the speaking entity was caught off guard, forced to retreat repeatedly.

—It was Mogahou!

“You again?”

Shen Ye asked in surprise.

Mogahou’s form was surrounded by shattered law runes.

Shen Ye took a glance and immediately noticed the problem.

These runes were all time runes, meaning—

The other party had traveled back to this moment.

He had a mind to summon all those runes into his hand, and after a careful examination, he would be able to know which moment the other party came from.

As a harmonizer of all laws, he could now achieve this.

But in the end.

Shen Ye still didn’t make a move.

—He couldn’t expose his ability to control laws yet.

Then Mogahou spoke:

“Baxter, do you want to live or die?”

“…I want to live, of course,” Shen Ye said as a matter of fact.

“You have provided information about the future, which is a meritorious service to the overall situation, so the superiors have bestowed this treasure.”

It produced an object, holding it in its hand.

“This is a treasure?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes, your ability to obtain information about the future is a very important talent—I actually hope you will become one of us,” Mogahou said.

Shen Ye looked at the “treasure.”

—It looked like a drop of water, emitting a faint blue light, hovering in Mogahou’s palm.

Mogahou said:

“Humans are an incredibly tiny and frail species, very suitable for experiments, usually not even qualified to speak to me.”“But you are strong.”

“You are qualified to be transformed into one of my kind.”

“Of course, you will have to undergo a test.”

It raised its hand and gently pushed.

The faint blue droplet flew lightly, landing in front of Shen Ye.

Lines of faint glowing text then appeared:

“Designated Race Marker.”

“Special marker, bearer, cannot be shaken off.”

“Description: You have been designated. From now on, you will be under this mark throughout the entire battle.”

“—This is a truth-creation that cannot be broken.”

Shen Ye looked at the water droplet and couldn’t help but ask:

“What exactly do you want to do?”

“All humans will be replaced by us,” Mogahou said.

These words resonated in Shen Ye’s ears like a thunderclap, shaking him to his core and giving him a sudden realization.

So that’s how it is!

After all history ends, the Era of Entropy arrives.

Ultimately, only one human will pass through the Era of Entropy, board the ship to the other shore, and reach the future!

So they want to become human!

In other words—

They want to seize that spot!

But can this really be done?

If they succeed, then “I” on the ship to the other shore will be replaced?

Countless thoughts surged in Shen Ye’s mind.

He heard Mogahou continue:

“We are currently revising the origin and process of history, a monumental undertaking that even we find somewhat overwhelming.”

“Reproducing and completely replacing humanity is largely feasible.”

“However, powerful experimental subjects like you are difficult to replace directly.”

“—It’s natural selection, I suppose.”

“If you survive, I will give you an opportunity to transform into one of our kind.”

“After all, your ability to obtain future intelligence is something I value.”

“Refusal will certainly lead to death—”

“You should not doubt这一点.”

Before the words finished.

Mogahou suddenly disappeared.

Only Shen Ye remained standing by the street.

He suddenly sensed something, looking up at the sky.

Dense crowds of people—

People fell like rain, filling the streets, then quickly returning to their original positions.

New bartenders and customers stood in the bars.

People enjoying the cool evening air were on the streets.

Vehicles still drove by, with drivers and passengers inside.

However—

All these people carried an eerie feeling.

A girl, struggling to move her feet, walked past Shen Ye.

“Humans only have two feet, it’s really hard to get used to walking, isn’t it?”

The girl smiled at Shen Ye.

She suddenly stopped, her face darkening in an instant.

“Are you human?”

She asked.

Shen Ye looked at her, then followed her gaze to his side.

A faint blue water droplet.

A human mark.

—So in this world, he was the only true human?

“Mogahou entrusted this to me for safekeeping. I need to give it to someone later.”

Shen Ye said.

The girl stared at him.

“I have something else to do—you should know Mogahou, right? Why don’t you hold this and give it to him later?” Shen Ye added.

He reached out to grab the water droplet.

In the sky.

A majestic voice suddenly rang out:

“In this historical fragment, there is a primitive human—”

“Whoever kills him will ascend one rank.”

“This is a small amusement for you.”

“Begin!”

The voice echoed incessantly throughout the city.

The girl suddenly pounced on Shen Ye.

Shen Ye sighed, drawing his saber and performing a saber dance like flowing water.

One strike.

The girl was cut in half, falling to the ground.

But in the void, the Corpse Tree Manifestation faintly appeared for a moment.

The girl’s body immediately re-fused, her injuries vanished, and she was restored to her original state.

Powerful demonic energy surged from the girl.

She examined Shen Ye and spoke:

“No wonder, your strength is outstanding even among humans.”

“But it’s meaningless.”

“—You are merely something for our amusement.”

As she spoke, more and more “people” on the street began to surround them.

Shen Ye felt the power fluctuations from the girl.

—At least S-rank.

The previous move was effective, probably because the opponent was not yet accustomed to the human body.

On the street.

The people who surrounded him were stronger than the last.

It was simply unsolvable.

If the monsters, from the very origin of history, were all transformed into humans, then they *were* humans!

Unlike humans.

Each of them was so powerful.

If they thoroughly replaced humanity—

He, on the ship to the other shore, might really be replaced by them!

A strong sense of crisis surged in Shen Ye’s heart.

“Aren’t you going to fight one-on-one?”

He asked.

The crowd was expressionless.

The girl’s face also showed no emotion.

They all lunged at Shen Ye—

Buzz!

The long saber emitted a high-frequency reverberation, plunging into the ground.

Before being caught, Shen Ye’s figure flashed, plummeting down the earth裂缝 torn open by the strike.

He held his long saber, completing a saber technique entirely.

At this moment.

If one were to look upon the historical fragment where Shen Ye was, from the endless dark void, an astonishing scene would unfold.

The historical fragment, with its constantly flickering images of human life, was cut through with a single line from beginning to end.

Whoosh—

The historical fragment, riddled with cracks, shattered!

Countless humans immediately surged out of the historical fragment, scattering into the dark void.

With human bodies, suddenly finding themselves in such an environment, they couldn’t even breathe.

Although the monsters wouldn’t die, they were all busy controlling their bodies.

For a time.

No one pursued Shen Ye.

Shen Ye was waiting for this very moment—

He flew swiftly through the darkness, moving far away from the crowd, instantly opening a door, and plunging into it.

“Go to the nearest historical fragment!”

The door vanished.

The door opened again.

He emerged, standing in another time and space.

Lines of faint glowing text quietly appeared:

“You have destroyed a historical fragment.”

“According to the secret shared with you by God, you already know that you will gain the blessing of entropy-annihilation power, and through this, generate the power of the future.”

“Your future trait has been upgraded, specifically as follows:”

“Fate Weaver.”

“Future Professional Level 2, Future Trait, Entropy Annihilation Power.”

“Description: 1. (Same as before);”

“2. Discern the target’s various abilities, and immediately grasp their profound mysteries when they are used.”

All the small text flashed away.

Shen Ye fell into thought.

This world was even larger than the previous one, an endless expanse of mountains and seas.

There were lights on the mountains.

Presumably, the replaced human civilization was where those lights shone.

Now that his “Fate Weaver” had upgraded by 1 rank, he could comprehend the enemy’s moves.

Even better—

Regardless of the opponent’s race.

With his “All Laws Harmonized” power, he could summon laws and deploy the enemy’s techniques.

His only concern was the water droplet beside him.

It had exposed his identity.

Tsk.

This was troublesome.

Shen Ye reached out to grab the water droplet, but found his hand passed directly through it.

—He couldn’t touch it at all!

“Gotta figure something out…”

Shen Ye murmured.

Suddenly.

He sensed something.

His dharma body abruptly opened, and a delicate little hand stretched out, grabbing the faint blue water droplet and pulling it into the dharma body.

Immediately after.

A faint chewing sound echoed.

“Mmm… tastes bad…”

Chatelain murmured softly, yawned, and fell back into slumber.

Shen Ye: “…”

A line of faint glowing text popped up:

“Your truth-creation, the multi-layered universe with the profession of ‘Shadow Divine Mother,’ used ‘Consume’ to eat the truth-creation ‘Designated Race Marker’.”
