Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Ten people surrounded the Eight-legged Life-devouring Demon Spirit and shouted in unison:
“Capture!”
Each of them wielded a magic artifact, directly halting the Teleportation Array, and then released a large net, trapping the Eight-legged Life-devouring Demon Spirit inside.
Another five humanoid figures charged at Shen Ye—
“Don’t move, you are highly suspicious!”
The five shouted in unison.
Shen Ye’s eyes flashed, but he saw they had already drawn their weapons, each move being a deadly attack—
This is supposed not to move?
He slightly shook the You Huang Blade, gently altering the direction of the blade’s glow.
Those slender blade beams danced like the wind blowing through willows, veering away from the Eight-legged Life-devouring Demon Spirit, flying towards the five.
—They disappeared!
The five were ready to counter, but unexpectedly, the blade beams vanished into thin air.
Where did these intricate blade beams—
go?
The five’s world suddenly turned dark.
Everything came to an end.
In front of Shen Ye appeared countless tiny lines of light, madly refreshing in the void:
“You have unleashed a new blade technique super evolved from the Mysterious Blade Technique ‘White Impermanence’ and the Cause and Effect Law Blade Technique ‘Instant’:”
“Three Springs Radiance.”
“High Emergence Blade Technique, a Triple Slash of Mystery, Cause, and Emergence.”
“Description:”
“The first slash ‘Cold’, binding and killing it;”
“The second slash ‘Flowers Bloom’, body and sword void, unaffected by technique, pursuing and slashing it;”
“Final Technique: ‘Picking Spring Breeze’—Chasing the Origin and Seeking Life.”
As all the lights and shadows emerged.
Hundreds of years ago.
In a certain mysterious nest.
Amongst the hundreds of giant eggs glowing faintly on the rocky wall, five eggs were continuously sliced by the fine blade beams piercing from the void.
These blade beams seemed to possess a certain spirit.
They attack no other giant eggs, targeting only five subjects, and each attack precisely hits the cracked line made by the slash.
Crack.
The giant egg was finally cut open, the egg liquid flowing all over the ground.
Buzz—
The fine blade beams seemed to have life, simultaneously soaring into the air, letting out joyful howls.
—Five enemies, dead before they were even born.
This is the final move ‘Picking Spring Breeze’.
Chasing the Origin and Seeking Life.
The meaning is that the blade beams pierced through time and space, reaching the target’s birth time and space, directly annihilating them.
In the field.
The five humanoid figures besieging Shen Ye disappeared simultaneously.
Turned to dust and smoke.
No—
It should be said, they never existed.
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!”
Several wisps of fine blade beams pierced through time and space, returning to the You Huang Blade, swirling like a spring breeze before vanishing unseen.
Clang!
The long blade returned to its sheath.
Shen Ye pressed the hilt, softly reciting:
“Stitched tightly before execution, fearing slow return.”
With the words spoken.
Annie suddenly looked up and exclaimed, “It’s done!”
—The entire Historical Fragment had been completely devoured by her.
Meanwhile.
The ten humanoid figures on the opposite side had already sealed the Eight-legged Life-devouring Demon Spirit, collectively letting out a roar, crazily charging at Shen Ye.
“Three consecutive battles? I refuse.”
Shen Ye spoke as the duck behind him dispersed the Technique in its hand.
The Exile, along with Shen Ye, Annie, and Cassandra, vanished before their eyes.
No matter how much technique they used, they couldn’t stop this “door” ability from disappearing before them.
Along with it, the entire world vanished.
—Annie had devoured this piece of Historical Fragment!
It will assimilate as part of the Multi-layered Universe!
Whoosh—
A gentle sound.
The world disappeared.
The Eight-legged Life-devouring Demon Spirit and the ten humanoid figures suspended in the dark void, never again able to find Shen Ye’s trace.
On the other side.
Shen Ye fell into the Exile, barely steadying himself when a sudden “clang” resounded above his head.
“This battle will bring immense fame, and your entry ‘White Impermanence’ is about to advance.”
“Please wait ten minutes.”
Shen Ye glanced once and ignored it.
He drew a letter from his sleeve and unfolded it.
A few lines of small characters were written on the letter:
“White Impermanence emerged, the battle so astonishing, I can’t help but admire, eager to invite you for a discussion.”
“This letter will take you directly to our world.”
“Just as well, we can discuss that ‘Seed of Truth Emergence’.”
“If you refuse, the Curse on the envelope will be enough to kill you.”
Having read it, Shen Ye fell into contemplation.
“What is this letter?” Annie asked.
“When I struck earlier, someone was hiding on the side, and just as I was leaving, managed to somehow slip it into my hand.”
Shen Ye explained.
“A curse…” Annie frowned as she read the letter.
Everyone fell silent, at a loss for words.
The number of factions involved in the battle was surprisingly large, leaving everyone in shock.
But why?
“Could it be that Seed of Truth Emergence?” Annie asked.
“It should be—but I’ve already used it as the seventh Truth Creation to construct my identity,” Shen Ye said.
“Yes, we can’t possibly return it, nor trade it with others,” Annie said.
Suddenly, a voice rang out:
“It’s fine! Leave it to me!”
Shen Ye turned around, only to see a wooden ship jump out with a thud, landing heavily on the ground.
“What do you mean leave it to you?”
Shen Ye was a bit unclear about what it meant.
“This letter is a selective curse that targets you if you make the wrong choice,” said the Chaos Ship.
“That’s right,” Shen Ye said.
“Did I not just gain Mysterious Power and evolve? Let me deal with this letter!”
“Can you really handle it? Don’t overstate your abilities,” Annie asked.
“Rest assured!” said the Chaos Ship.
Shen Ye and Annie exchanged glances.
The Chaos Ship was so confident that not letting it take action seemed somewhat disrespectful to it.
“Then—”
Annie was still hesitant.
“Give it a try,” Shen Ye decided.
Soon fine, glowing words appeared:
“When your Truth Creation ‘Chaos Ship’ uses its new ability, the ability will solidify, and the Chaos Ship’s Mysterious Power will also increase.”
“You have come to know its new ability.”
“Majestic Heroic Figure.”
“A rare negotiation-type Mysterious Skill.”
“Description: Persuades the opponent to abandon their impending curse, poison, techniques, and various threats.”
“—This skill is highly compatible with the Chaos Ship.”
Hmm?
Never seen such a technique before!
Shen Ye simply put the letter on the ground and then pulled Annie back a few steps, leaving the stage to the Chaos Ship.
“Watch me.”
The Chaos Ship flew forward, suddenly growing a pair of big hands and long legs from its sides.
It stood proudly in front of the letter, speaking in a thick, solemn tone:
“We represent the Truth, our backbone is cast by the Laws, and absolutely cannot be threatened by petty and inferior people like you!”
The voice resounded in all directions!
A strange ripple emanated from the Chaos Ship.
“This is called professionalism.”
Shen Ye whispered to Annie.
Annie also widened her eyes in astonishment.
Even Uncle Qi looked at the ship in disbelief.
“Listen!”
The Chaos Ship shouted: “You may place a blade at my throat, but you cannot sever the steely bones on my body;”
“You may use a curse to take my life, but my soul will never yield;”
“Life and death can no longer control our will.”
Its voice echoed endlessly in the Exile.
Everyone listened with a solemn reverence, even Su Su began to bite her lip.
Boom——————
The ground and mountains shook!
The Chaos Ship kneeled before the letter, its voice booming:
“So please, retract your curse!”
“I beg you!”
Deathly silence.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Snap.
The letter shattered.
The Chaos Ship sighed in relief, stood up from the ground, and turned to face Shen Ye and the others.
“It succeeded.”
It flashed a V sign as a gesture of victory.
The people stared at it.
Without saying a word.
Suddenly, Shen Ye felt a stir in his heart.
The strength in his entire body was steadily climbing.
—What is happening?
The Sequence’s prompt symbol reacted swiftly, rapidly flashing before his eyes:
“The strength of your Truth Creation ‘Chaos Ship’ has advanced by one rank;”
“The strength of your Truth Creation ‘Multi-layered Universe’ has advanced by one rank;”
“Congratulations, your Mysterious Identity is beginning to advance.”
“Your identity has advanced to:”
“The Old Hanged Man.”
