Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Where is she?"

Ning Yunyu asked.

"Frightened in her dream, she probably woke up—once awake, she'll leave Earth and go to the Death Planet." Shen Ye explained.

"Will she remember anything from here?"

"No."

Indeed.

The events within the Multi-layered Universe—

The people on Earth also remembered nothing upon waking up.

So some things were, in fact, already beginning.

For example.

At the other end of the city.

Xie Lan stood in front of a mirror, carefully examining himself.

"My strength is too weak... I still have to use my true form..."

He casually waved the fan in his hand.

Splat.

With a flick of the fan, he transformed into Nangong Sirui.

He was about to leave when he sensed something was amiss.

"What if someone has defected to the Destruction Camp and knows me..."

The fan flicked again.

Splat.

He turned into a completely unfamiliar young man.

That should work!

Nangong Sirui strolled out of the room, onto the street, revealing his aura.

He began wandering aimlessly.

After several minutes.

By the time Shen Ye and Ning Yunyu received the token mission—

He had successfully entered a special interview.

It was an abandoned warehouse.

A group of masked people sat behind a table, scrutinizing Nangong Sirui and the others.

"You all have some power."

"But to join our sect and follow us to witness the true world, you must pass the final test."

The one leading said solemnly.

"What test?" Nangong Sirui couldn't help but ask.

"Talent—to see if you have enough talent to wield the power to destroy everything."

"The rule is: Defeat your nearby competitors."

"Those who remain standing in five minutes can join us."

"Begin!"

The candidates looked at each other.

No one made a move.

The leader seemed accustomed to this scene and placed a box on the table.

The box opened.

Inside were stacks of cash.

"Immediate reward of two million if selected, then you'll be granted powerful elemental forces."

The leader raised his hand.

Black flames burst forth from his hand.

This temptation made everyone's breathing heavy.

"Ha!"

Finally, someone made a move.

Chaos ensued as everyone started fighting.

—But everyone was unarmed, and as long as you didn't stand up after being knocked down, it was considered submission, and you wouldn't face further attacks.

Because there was no danger to life, everyone fought recklessly.

Nangong Sirui managed the attacks while contemplating his next strategy—

Should he reveal his extraordinary talent directly?

Or temporarily hide his strength to avoid standing out too much?

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a sensation.

What... is this feeling?

Lines of tiny glowing text suddenly appeared in the void before his eyes:

"Shen Ye defeated the End Demon General."

"He gained Attribute Points through 'Destructive Absorption'."

"Thanks to the 'Blood Brother' effect, you've progressed along with him."

"Current Attribute Points are continuously rising!"

What?

Nangong Sirui was stunned.

Wait—

I'm in a fight!

But it was too late—

His aura fluctuated abruptly, starting to ascend to a stronger level.

This immediately alerted the observers.

"Not bad, this kid."

"Breakthrough during battle."

"Yes, it is a battle breakthrough."

"Could it be that a One in Ten Thousand talent emerged among these mortals?"

They whispered.

Elsewhere.

Back on Earth.

Xiao Mengyu held a wooden sword, practicing in a dojo.

Without warning—

Boom!

Her aura surged.

"What is this?"

Xiao Mengyu was astonished, pausing her actions.

Yet in the void, similar tiny glowing text silently appeared.

"Is that so..."

"His progress benefits me too?"

"I wonder what he killed that made my attributes increase so much."

Xiao Mengyu carefully assessed the changes in her strength.

Suddenly.

She abruptly turned her head to look.

Only to see several strangely shaped artifacts floating in mid-air.

—It was the Truth Creations!

Xiao Mengyu, having received Shen Ye's previous transmission, already knew the situation. She felt a moment's tension followed by relaxation, and shouted:

"What are you things?"

Those creations ignored her inquiry, instead beginning to converse:

"Hmm, a rare swordsmanship talent."

"Did you see that breakthrough in her power just now?"

"She can definitely join us."

"Yes, she can be useful!"

...

Church.

Ning Yunyu guarded the divine statue.

Shen Ye sat against the wall, one hand on the knife handle, the other casually touching the wall.

This was for convenience to strike at any time or escape through the door.

After all, he had killed a Main God's Envoy.

The envoy's soul returned to the Destructive Main God—

No one knew what the Main God's reaction would be.

Shen Ye glanced at Ning Yunyu.

She was somewhat anxious.

Completely understandable.

The teacher had already said that humans weren't opponents.

If the Main God really wanted to retaliate, they probably wouldn't escape the Destruction Queen.

However.

The facts behind this matter are simple, anyone with intent can find them out.

So—

What does the Main God think about this?

Ding!

A crisp sound broke the silence.

Ning Yunyu flipped his hand, pulling out the token.

A voice rang out from the token:

"The church's divine statue will transform into a long-range bombardment turret, specifically targeting all creations."

"Defenders of the turret, please take note."

"You must hold the ground; it cannot be breached within 12 hours."

"Once the ground is breached and the turret destroyed, you will be immediately erased by the Main God!"

The voice vanished.

At the same time, chaotic noises erupted outside the church.

Shen Ye lifted the curtain to look.

Various creations were surging toward the church in dense masses!

Just the two of them, how could they hold off so many Truth Creations?

Ning Yunyu sighed, saying:

"The Main God wishes for us to die here without a sound."

"This would dissolve the contradictions."

"After Galian's resurrection, he can continue to be his envoy peacefully."

"I don't think so." Shen Ye said.

"What do you think the Main God's intentions are?" Ning Yunyu asked.

"We guard the turret, make a great contribution, and once Galian comes back to life, we can fiercely slap his face." Shen Ye replied.

He looked at the various creations outside, thoughts flashing through his mind.

Should he display the power of the Truth Creations?

Maybe help the Truth Creations destroy the turret, so he could side with them?

...No.

Now's the time when the Destruction Camp just landed, not strong enough yet.

The Destruction Camp must occupy this city.

This time.

He had to stand on the side of the Destruction Camp.

Otherwise, if the Destruction Camp were driven out of the Truth World—

In the Truth World, it would be the Soul Capturing Net and Withering Staff calling the shots.

Therefore—

Shen Ye drew the Rain Blade and said:

"You guard the statue, I'll go out and fight."

A massive black phantom appeared behind him.

It was a metal giant ship filled with the power of "Destruction Evolution"—

The Ship of Destruction.
