Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 969 - 460: Struggle!_3

"Essence?" the End Master exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, essence is the quintessence of the rules condensed within you, which can materialize as your powers and skills. Some of it has already been extracted by him," the Valkyrie explained.

The End Master looked at Shen Ye in disbelief once again.

"What do you mean—why are you extracting my essence? I haven’t made a move yet!"

He shouted loudly.

"Quiet down, you may not have made a move, but your disdainful attitude caused non-negligible harm to people’s spirits," she said.

"Impossible!"

"All my creations are dead from heart attacks!"

"You—"

"If you’re not satisfied, call the police!"

Shen Ye didn’t bother to say more, casually returning the essence to the End Master, but his mind was preoccupied with another matter.

If the End Master could sense the extraction of his essence,

Then.

The previous extraction of essence from the White Night Spirit King and the Chaos Ship—

These two formidable beings must have felt it too!

Admittedly, they were engaged in fierce combat, thus too occupied to notice on their end.

But what if the situation changed?

Shen Ye’s heart suddenly clenched, as he finally understood where his sense of urgency came from.

At this moment.

Another monster emerged from the sea, swimming towards the small island where the trio was.

"End Master, to the front, the Valkyrie will perform the sacrifice, and I will make preparations for what follows," Shen Ye ordered immediately.

"Understood," the End Master strode towards the monster.

"Alright, I’ll do it," the Valkyrie also said.

She rotated her bracelet, releasing the monster corpses collected from the level above, lifted her spear high, and began summoning the behemoth of Truth 17th Rank.

The Sacrificial Ceremony began!

Shen Ye retreated backwards, huddling in a corner, yet his gaze remained fixed on his Little Western Heaven.

"Construct mining robots."

He commanded.

The factory for robots was ablaze with light.

Three mining robots were fully constructed, placed beside the Truth Mine.

They were immediately activated, immersing themselves into the mining work.

"Current number of miners has reached the limit."

"Your miner quota has been used up."

"You may try manufacturing other types of Truth Creations, or build and upgrade your structures to generate more population quota."

Three lines of fine print flashed by in an instant.

Shen Ye then said:

"Begin constructing Truth artificial bodies, build as resources allow until the quota is exhausted."

Following his command, the Truth Artificial Body Humanoid Creation Research Center also began its tense and bustling work.

One by one, old men appeared in front of the gate, leaning on canes, ready to stage an accident at any moment.

—This was a terrifying legion!

Shen Ye was now completely on guard.

Whether it was the Chaos Ship or the White Night Spirit King, both were incredibly formidable adversaries, and they would not tolerate any interference.

The situation was about to unfold!

Boom—

An infinity of light and mist descended near them.

The Valkyrie’s sacrificial ritual was a success!

The neatly arranged offerings disappeared, and in their place appeared a giant radiating intense light.

—The behemoth of Truth 17th Rank!

Upon its sudden appearance, it did not heed the Valkyrie who carried out the sacrifice but first looked towards Shen Ye.

"Well done, my agent," it said.

"You’ve bought me time to breathe—"

"But be careful, this ship is ruthless, it will force you into a dead end!"

Shen Ye immediately replied:

"Is there any way to save my life?"

Under his watchful eye, the behemoth hesitated before saying:

"Do you know that multi-layered universes can devour each other, evolving through such devouring."

"I know that," Shen Ye said.

The behemoth shook its head: "No, you don’t know, actually, your multi-layered universe—"

The split void suddenly closed back.

All light, mist, and the fluctuation of power disappeared in an instant.

The sacrificial ritual was abruptly interrupted!

The Valkyrie looked at Shen Ye in astonishment.

All around was dead silent.

Only the occasional sounds of the End Master’s battle with the monster could be heard.

The atmosphere turned eerily weird.

"What’s going on?"

The Valkyrie asked.

"Not sure...I need to think..."

Shen Ye muttered to himself.

What was the behemoth trying to say?

Wait!

It seemed like someone else had mentioned the same thing.

"Kid, since you’re about to die, I’ll give you a little hint—"

The White Night Spirit King!

"The multi-layered universe is a very special Ultimate Creation... it can devour its kind... evolution is limitless."

"Your multi-layered universe has already done this, I guess you didn’t know, right."

Shen Ye’s heart pounded violently.

The White Night Spirit King.

The behemoth of Truth 17th Rank.

They spoke the same words!

And they believed I had no clue about it!

But I did know!

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Ye began to form a deeper conjecture.

To step back—

If these two formidable beings are not wrong.

If indeed I was unaware.

Then the truth is—

Before Su Rong, the multi-layered universe had already devoured another multi-layered universe!

The ship suddenly shook violently.

At the same time—

The voice of the End Master came from afar:

"It’s done!"

The last monster was slain by him.

Stairs leading to the upper and lower layers appeared by the small island.

But—

The sense of crisis in Shen Ye’s heart grew even more intense.

He looked down at the lines of fate on his hand, noting that a black and a white line had already appeared.

The black one, to stay put.

The white one, to leave immediately.

"Go!"

Shen Ye shouted, taking the lead towards the staircase.

The Valkyrie paused for a moment.

The End Master turned back, looking at Shen Ye with a disdainful expression, and said:

"Master, this is too—"

Before he could finish, the entire world fell silent.

Shen Ye.

Rushed to the staircase entrance.

But the stairs were slowly fading away.

Knowing this was the most dangerous moment, he simply pressed against the edge of the stairs and stretched forward as much as he could.
