Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 712
byChapter 695: Only One Chance!
In the darkness.
Two large ships, one after the other, moved silently.
The young Shen Ye sat on the front ship, his gaze distant, lost in thought.
After a long while.
His eyes finally stirred, clearing up, and he murmured to himself:
“Time… it’s truly fascinating…”
Indeed.
Having achieved the term “Harmonizer of all Dharmas,” he could now fully and deeply perceive all laws.
Time was not a reference point or a marker.
It was a “state energy.”
Using the right state energy could instantly make all beings rejuvenate; but if the time state was “death,” then all beings would return to death, their souls departing their bodies.
Shen Ye stood up, stretched, and looked towards the other ship relentlessly pursuing them from behind.
—They had locked down all of history’s time.
But if one understood the properties of time deeply, one would find their strategy too crude.
Do you think locking down all “moment states” means you can win?
Shen Ye thought silently.
Suddenly.
The ship behind them shook violently, letting out an earth-shattering roar.
The ship exploded!
The monster’s ship shattered into pieces, struggling precariously in the dark void.
But it was no use.
The power of entropy descended upon the ship, rapidly disintegrating the entire vessel into brilliant particles.
These particles were as beautiful as flowers, yet they rapidly fell and dimmed.
In the darkness.
A figure streaked past.
Soul Orb!
“What did you do?”
It demanded in a deep voice.
“Me? I didn’t do anything,” Shen Ye said with a smile, spreading his hands.
“Impossible… If you did nothing, why would our ship be destroyed?” Soul Orb didn’t believe him.
As the two spoke.
Big Skeleton quietly appeared in the cabin, placing piles of gold on the ground, muttering:
“Eat, eat it all up.”
“He wants you to evolve into a transforming mech… I think that’s hard, do you have confidence?”
The large ship didn’t respond.
Only the gold continuously disappeared, at a very fast pace.
Outside.
Shen Ye smiled and said, “It might have something to do with what you did in previous eras, anyway, I didn’t do a thing.”
“It better be.” Soul Orb said.
“Oh, and one more thing,” Shen Ye said.
“?” Soul Orb.
“Have you ever seen a cannon barrel thicker than a train?” Shen Ye asked.
Soul Orb slowly lowered its head and looked at the enormous ship.
At some point.
Cannon barrels had extended from the ship, already aimed at Soul Orb.
Boom—
Amidst deafening roars, beams of scorching light struck Soul Orb, directly blasting it away, its figure disappearing into the depths of darkness, its whereabouts unknown.
Shen Ye stood on the ship, shaking his head disdainfully.
You don’t even have a ship, and you still dare to act tough with me here?
Question me?
Go to hell.
He turned to look at the direction where the ship had exploded.
Countless human corpses floated in the void.
These corpses fragmented into dust, illuminating the darkness, thoroughly ended by the power of entropy and reduced to nothingness.
All dead.
It seemed that—
If history was filled with monsters in human form, then they couldn’t reach the Entropy Era.
This isn’t right.
They should be very strong.
A deep look of confusion flashed in Shen Ye’s eyes.
…
In the past era.
Within a certain historical fragment.
Mid-mountain.
The young Shen Ye stood on a tree, looking towards the village.
“Why did all ‘humans’ die in the Entropy Era, and even the ship exploded?”
He looked at the people standing in the village.
Those people—
Maintained an oddly human standing posture, occasionally taking a few steps, seemingly completely adapting to human bodies.
Suddenly.
Many people looked towards Shen Ye.
“You can climb trees now?”
An old man asked loudly.
“That’s how it is when you’re strong, just a little faster than you all,” Shen Ye said.
To avoid attracting too much attention.
He simply released a hint of詭異 energy.
—After all, he also possessed the詭異 identity of “Hanged Man of the Old Days.”
Indeed.
As soon as this aura was released, it immediately provoked laughter from those people.
Shen Ye’s words were already somewhat annoying, and now they openly mocked him:
“Your power fluctuations are still the same, you haven’t adapted to the human body at all!”
“That’s right, I’m better than him.”
“At least I don’t leak诡異 energy.”
“…”
The crowd chattered, then quickly withdrew their gaze.
—They continued to adapt to their new bodies.
Shen Ye didn’t mind, simply sitting on the tree, slowly observing the progress of events.
In fact, just looking at those “humans” was enough to feel despair.
They were all at least S-class.
He could feel that they all possessed extremely high-level诡異 identities.
—Far stronger than his own identity.
There were also many SSS-class, and even existences beyond SSS-class.
All these existences were disguised as humans!
—Who could contend with them?
Shen Ye fell silent.
No.
It wasn’t time for despair yet.
He was now a 2nd-level Fate Weaver, able to learn the skills of these monsters.
This would allow him to further understand them.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is always a good thing.
Thinking this, he squatted on a branch, continuing to observe the village.
Time gradually passed.
Those “humans” gradually became accustomed to existing as humans.
They ran, jumped, and walked with ease and skill.
But then, things veered off the normal track.
These humans began to manipulate spells, cutting wood and stone, creating coffin after coffin.
Once the coffins were ready, they lay inside, closing their eyes to rest.
Time continued to pass.
Night fell, day broke.
The coffins remained motionless.
Shen Ye was initially a bit confused, but as time went on, he completely understood.
Yes.
Even though these “humans” had replaced humans, they still maintained their original way of life!
Consequently.
Countless important historical events, innumerable achievements of civilization, and all those heroic figures that had occurred in countless historical fragments would never appear.
What kind of consequences would this lead to?
“This is bad.”
Shen Ye whispered.
No sooner had he spoken.
Lines of faint small characters appeared before him:
“The historical main line formed by all historical fragments has been tampered with.”
“The historical main line is invalid.”
“All current historical fragments are breaking apart.”
“After history is completely destroyed, the Entropy Era will descend.”
Shen Ye looked at the lines of prompts, a glint of realization flashing in his eyes.
If—
All historical fragments were “testing grounds” for the monsters.
Then the so-called “Lord of Higher Dimensions” and “Doomsday” battle wouldn’t be real either.
The Entropy Era wouldn’t arise from a false battle.
Its true cause was—
The monsters, in order to cope with the Entropy Era, all reincarnated as humans, thus completely destroying the main history!
—In order to find a way to escape the Entropy Era, they caused its birth!
How ironic!
Shen Ye suddenly realized something.
He leaped high, jumping out of this historical fragment, and looked around.
Indeed.
—All historical fragments in the dark void were being destroyed!
So—
The “past” was about to end.
What followed would be the “present” of the Entropy Era, destroying everything!
Shen Ye suddenly realized something else.
God and he shared a secret—
Shattering historical fragments would generate the power of “entropy,” thus forming future terms.
Now.
The power of entropy was being generated, and the era was changing.
Everything fit together!
So the urgent thing he needed to do was— “Don’t destroy it so quickly.”
Shen Ye murmured softly, suddenly drawing his long saber and charging towards a historical fragment not far away.
But halfway through his charge, a thought occurred to him:
If he were to attack the historical fragment now for no reason, and the monsters observed him—
Wouldn’t that expose the secret of the future?
Now.
Only he possessed future terms!
No more taking risks.
He absolutely couldn’t let the monsters know that secret!
After all, all historical fragments were created by them!
With this thought.
Shen Ye maintained his forward charge, reached out to open a door, and rushed in.
“You have set the obstacle as ‘the distance to the nearest gold storage point’.”
The door opened.
Shen Ye appeared directly in a collapsing world, sweeping away all the gold bars piled in the bank vault.
—Such an act was perfectly reasonable!
He opened the door again, arrived at another gold storage point, and collected all the gold again.
“Continue!”
The door opened for the third time.
Shen Ye took a step and suddenly froze.
This was an underground vault storing gems and gold.
An old man stood before the mountain of jewels, hands clasped behind his back, and said:
“You’ve come.”
“…I should have known you’d appear at this moment and then leave during the Entropy Era,” Shen Ye said.
Indeed.
The old man standing opposite him was radiating an extremely intense divine power.
—It was God!
“I don’t have time to tell you much, just to give you a piece of information,” God said.
“What?” Shen Ye asked.
“Their abilities are beyond your imagination; they can repair all the fragments again!”
Shen Ye’s body trembled.
If everything could be restored, wouldn’t that mean “it doesn’t matter if we fail, we can just start over?”
How could they fight then?
God looked at him, saying meaningfully:
“The situation is so desperate, and the enemy is so powerful.”
“Therefore, you only have one chance to completely change the entire situation.”
“How do I do that?” Shen Ye asked.
“I can’t tell you. If I do, they will sense a life-and-death crisis in their destiny; they will quickly find loopholes and swarm you, killing you on the spot after divination.” God said.
“Then—” Shen Ye hesitated.
God interrupted him, continuing, “Maria hasn’t told you the fourth mission of the ‘Human’s Eternal Poem,’ has she?”
“That’s right,” Shen Ye said.
Thinking back carefully, Maria should have told him the fourth mission in person.
But.
wωω .тtκan .￠○
She only described the situation, but didn’t state the fourth mission!
“In fact, she doesn’t know what the fourth mission is either—if she did, the enemy would immediately sense it.”
God said.
“Huh? She doesn’t know either? What then?” Shen Ye asked, surprised.
God looked at him deeply, and softly said:
“Her ability in ‘omniscience’ is quite good, she knows almost everything, but you cannot rely on that.”
After saying this, God took out a watch, checked the time, placed it on the ground, then took a step and disappeared from in front of Shen Ye.
—He must have gone to create the other shore.
Only Shen Ye remained, pondering his words.
Everything could be restored again?
Maria knew many secrets?
Tsk.
It felt a bit confusing.
The next second.
Shen Ye suddenly sensed some change.
That watch.
—The hour and minute hands on the dial were constantly moving backward!
This meant that the monsters’ lock on time had failed.
To restore everything, they had to release time!
Suddenly.
A hand reached out, grasped the watch, and crushed it.
Demon King.
It appeared opposite Shen Ye and said in a deep voice:
“So that’s how it is, we made a mistake, which is why the Entropy Era is descending.”
“It seems that way,” Shen Ye said.
“What are you doing here?”
“Collecting money – you can never have enough money.”
“Baxter, you are truly an incredible fellow. I’m thinking about how to deal with you.”
To deal with…
Shen Ye had seen countless monsters disguised as humans, and now he knew how vast the difference between races was.
He calmed down and said with a smile:
“I remember you said that if I survived, you would give me the qualification to transform into one of your kind.”
“That was just toying with you,” Demon King said.
Shen Ye wiped the smile from his face.
Yes.
They could resurrect endlessly, were numerous, and their strength started at S-class.
They could do whatever they wanted.
But—
The situation wasn’t completely hopeless!
“I have a secret about the future to tell you.”
Shen Ye said.
“Say it,” Demon King said.
“People who like to play tricks will never reach the future. I said it, even Jesus is useless here,” Shen Ye said.
No sooner had he spoken.
He suddenly drew his long saber and slashed downwards.
The entire world was sliced in half by this strike—
The historical fragment began to collapse.
“Damn you, do you know what you’re doing?”
Demon King said angrily.
“Hahaha, I’m going to destroy all historical fragments,” Shen Ye shouted with laughter, holding his long saber, “Since I can’t transform into your kind, I’ll destroy your painstaking efforts!”
His figure flashed, and he soared into the sky, continuing to unleash blades towards the world.
Demon King didn’t find it easy to dodge either.
—For the survival of the world, it could only rush forward, taking Shen Ye’s blade attacks head-on,
“Stop! Are you trying to die?!”
Demon King shouted, astonished and enraged.
Shen Ye’s figure flashed, suddenly streaking away towards outside the world.
In that dark void, there were even more fragments!
Wind howled in his ears.
At some point.
With a “clang,” an indistinct cluster of small characters appeared above Shen Ye’s head.
“Baxter’s evil deeds of destroying historical fragments alone have spread among the enemies.”
“This is the act of the first human to truly step onto the historical stage.”
“Thanks to this, your term will undergo an evolution.”
“Please wait.”
Shen Ye glanced at it, then continued to streak forward.
…
The Ship of Beyond.
“Maria.”
Shen Ye called out.
“I’m here.” Maria quietly materialized on the wall.
“The fourth mission of the Human’s Eternal Poem,” Shen Ye said.
“Ah, you finally found out, I didn’t tell you last time—in fact, I don’t know what this mission is,” Maria said.
“I already know about that,” Shen Ye said.
“You know?” Maria said, surprised.
“I also know that your ‘omniscience’ ability is almost comparable to God’s,” Shen Ye said.
“That’s true, but I still don’t know the fourth mission of the Eternal Poem,” Maria said.
“Alright, then let’s talk about something else.”
“About what?”
“—What else do you not know, besides the fourth mission?” Shen Ye said.
Yes!
God had said, “Her ability in ‘omniscience’ is quite good, she knows almost everything, but you cannot rely on that.”
Perhaps this was an implicit hint to him—
“What you can rely on is the one thing she doesn’t know.”
Shen Ye stared intently at Maria.
—Did he guess correctly?
Maria was stunned after hearing Shen Ye’s words.
Her eyes lost focus, and her entire being seemed to fall into some extremely terrifying nightmare. She said in a trembling voice:
“The thing I don’t know…”
“Besides the fourth mission, there is only one.”
“It’s a battle that the monsters imitated—a battle that never existed at all.”
“The decisive battle between the Lord of Higher Dimensions and the King of Apocalypse of all realms.”
“No one knows which historical fragment that battle is hidden in.”
No sooner had she spoken.
Lines of faint small characters suddenly refreshed before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“The fourth mission of the Eternal Poem has been activated.”
“First mission issued.”
“Eternal Night.”
“Description: This is the eternal night era for humans. Only by finding that non-existent glimmer of hope can the predetermined fate be changed.”
“Mission objective: Find the historical fragment containing the non-existent decisive battle.”
“Mission reward: The wishes of all past humans across endless parallel universes will assist you in advancing all your abilities and skills by one tier.”
“—God said you only have one chance to completely change the entire situation.”
