Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 822 - : 415

“Ladies and gentlemen, my knowledge is rather limited, so I must ask, what is this place?” Shen Ye said.

“—In ancient records, each of us comes from a different ‘multilayer universe,’ and the flow of time we experience is entirely different,” the white-haired elder said.

A young man continued, “Because we’ve broken through the barriers, we were transferred here.”

“When six people gather, the power of this place will be activated,” the woman said.

“What are we supposed to do?” Shen Ye asked.

“Proceed to the selection of other Ultimate Creations—forming a circle is enough to begin,” the young man said.

They began to move, distancing themselves from one another, gradually forming a circle.

In the darkness.

Light descended.

A blank square piece of paper appeared in everyone’s hands.

Lines of small text emerged on the paper:

“To fulfill any wish, an equivalent price must be paid.”

“This ritual directly targets the wish in your hearts.”

“Silently chant your wish.”

The small text on the white paper paused.

People, whether jubilant, anxious, or expectant, murmured something softly.

Soon.

New content appeared simultaneously on the white papers of the five:

“—Betraying the ‘multiverse’ to join other Ultimates is your wish.”

“However, aspiring to reach higher dimensions, to become an incredible existence, is not a simple matter.”

“Only one person can complete the transformation, leave the ‘multiverse,’ and be accepted by other Ultimates.”

“The first price that person must pay is:”

“To conquer others who share the same wish.”

“Time limit, thirty minutes.”

“Begin!”

The faces of the crowd changed.

Boom—

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

In the vast darkness high above, strands of deep red glowing threads descended and entered the tops of the heads of the five.

They emitted a red glow all over.

The selection had begun!

They all looked at Shen Ye.

—There was no change happening to Shen Ye!

“There’s no need to look at me,” Shen Ye said calmly with his hands behind his back, “The ritual waited too long to start, so I was sent to observe.”

He stepped back, distancing himself from the crowd, and spoke loudly:

“Time waits for no one, let’s begin.”

The child still had a hesitant look on his face and asked, “How can you prove—”

Suddenly, a Technique struck him.

Caught off guard, the child immediately countered, only to be hit by several other attacks at the same time.

“Damn, you—”

Thud.

A heavy punch burst his head.

The Titan, with its enormous Physique, tossed the body aside, emitting a muffled roar:

“Alright, one has been eliminated.”

The words had hardly fallen when the others tacitly ceased their attacks, together turning to look at Shen Ye.

“Why are you different from us?” the woman asked with a dark expression.

“Let’s see the content of your selection, otherwise we’ll join forces and kill you,” the white-haired elder also said.

Shen Ye nonchalantly lifted his white paper.

It read:

“To fulfill any wish, an equivalent price must be paid.”

“This ritual directly targets the wish in your hearts.”

“Silently chant your wish.”

“—In combat with other Ultimate Creation beings, your Heavenly Demon died, and you wish to resurrect it.”

“This is an insignificant wish, for which you need not pay a price this time.”

“Among the twenty-one Ultimate Creations, the Ultimate Strength of the ‘multilayer universe’ has paid for ‘Protection,’ keeping you unharmed, and also paid for ‘Resurrection,’ bringing your Heavenly Demon back to life.”

“After the first round of selection is complete, you may return.”

Everyone looked it over quickly, their expressions complex.

“That’s not right, you carry the bloodline of the king species, why would you still want to be trapped within the multilayer universe?”

The woman asked, lost in thought.

“So what about being of king species? Some people even become Ultraman, is that strange?” Shen Ye shrugged.

The crowd hesitated.

Ultraman?

What is that?

Shen Ye’s face was adorned with a slight smile, yet his eyes were filled with iciness.

—”The place observable by all twenty-one Ultimate Creations can be understood as the border between nations.”

This was the only advice from Fourth Epoch Creator Charlocturic.

Border between nations.

Easy to understand.

If you intend to betray your “nation,” while also wanting to be accepted by other “nations,” then at least two conditions were necessary.

—Prove your loyalty to other nations.

—And prove your value to them.

The first point was difficult enough.

How can a betrayer prove loyalty again?

The second point was even harder.

If the “multilayer universe” is one of the hardest among the twenty-one Ultimate Creations to ascend from—

Then how can you, from the “multilayer universe,” prove your value?

Are you stronger than the beings within other Ultimate Creations?

Shen Ye shook the white paper and put it away.

He laughed, retreating subtly to a farther place.

—I have always been human.

Even if I become the Giant—

It’s just a bit green, really.

Life can still go on.

Why venture into the world of other Monsters?

In the square.

The young man capable of transforming into a Titan looked unwilling, gesturing with his hand, and launched a Technique at Shen Ye.

Mid-flight, the Technique, aglow with light, was suddenly extinguished by an invisible force.

—It was impossible to hit Shen Ye.

He was indeed under “Protection”!

“Your business is of no concern to me, I sincerely wish you all success.”

After saying this, Shen Ye turned around, looking towards the boundless darkness outside the square.

—He had completely removed himself.

Just like Charlocturic said—

On this “border between nations,” if you are not planning to betray, but to show loyalty—

You don’t have to face such stringent conditions.

Your “nation” will protect you.
