Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 493 Becoming a God!

"Bed 15, remember to pay the fee."

"How many?"

"Probably more than 200."

"So expensive!"

"…The medicines are specially prescribed to be the cheapest, old man."

"But it's too expensive. Just kill me."

The quarrel continued.

It's really annoying.

He frowned, opened his eyes, and woke up from his slumber.

The familiar smell of disinfectant.

Incandescent lamp.

Six-person room, ward.

……What's going on here?
The old man in bed 15 opposite had a red face and his voice became louder and louder as he argued with the nurse.

Their voices made people feel more and more depressed and they couldn't think of anything at all.

"stop fighting!"

He spoke.

The nurse and the old man looked over together.

The old man was wearing tattered clothes, his face was full of wrinkles, his skin was dark, and the shoes in front of the bed were covered in mud and had a hole in them.

The nurse looked angry and helpless.

It was late at night.

Outside the window glass, there were two big words "Emergency" on another door.

——Is this the emergency room of the hospital?
what happened.

My mind went blank.

Forget it, let’s deal with the matter at hand first.

Just 200 yuan.

"I'll pay for his expenses." Shen Ye said to the nurse.

The nurse breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good - by the way, you also owe money, remember to pay it."

After saying that, he quickly left the ward.

I owe money too?

Shen Ye was stunned, touched his body, and turned on his phone.

Balance: 2.5.

The salary won’t be paid until tomorrow!
Yes.

I remembered.

I fainted while working overtime at the company... It must have been my colleague who brought me here.

Shen Ye opened his eyes and looked around.

There was indeed a note on the table:
"The doctor said you have low blood sugar. Take a good rest. Don't worry about the company. It's already yellow."

The company went bankrupt?

"——So young man, are you really going to pay me? Is your mind okay?"

The old man opposite asked anxiously.

"Well, you take a rest, I will talk to you later." Shen Ye said.

"Hahaha, okay, you are such a good person!" The old man looked Shen Ye up and down, observing his expression carefully.

Shen Ye didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

A colleague's voice came from the microphone:
"Hey, Shen Ye, are you feeling better? Remember to pay the medical bills."

"Yes, the company went bankrupt. What a coincidence—"

"No compensation."

"Why? Because the boss ran away."

"Now no one can get this month's salary..."

"Okay, keep in touch."

The phone hangs up.

Shen Ye had a headache.

There will be no salary tomorrow.

Damn it.

Do I have to open "Jiedaibao" again?
etc--

Why do I say "again"?

A sharp pain exploded in his mind, so much so that he just sat up and fell back onto the bed with a bang.

There were only two people in the ward at this time.

As soon as Shen Ye fell, the old man in bed 15 opposite saw him immediately.

The bitter and resentful expression on his face disappeared, he quietly got out of bed, closed the door of the ward, and then came to Shen Ye.

The old man seemed to have become a different person, with a sense of vicissitudes and majesty all over his body, and his voice became erratic:

"Think about it. Quickly remember everything you have experienced in the void."

"If it's too late, it's too late!"

The old man suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

The incandescent light flickered.

A cold wind blew in from outside the window.

A black cat jumped onto the windowsill, its eyes fixed on Shen Ye lying on the hospital bed.

"Humph."

The old man raised his hand and pointed, and a white gas rushed out of the window like an arrow.

The black cat nimbly avoided the white line, looked at the old man deeply, then jumped into the bushes and disappeared.

"who are you?"

Shen Ye's voice rang out.

The old man didn't answer at first. He walked quickly to the window, looked out for a few times, then stretched out his hand and made a seal.

Shen Ye immediately sensed something.

——Sacrifice.

The other party is eager for me to hold a sacrificial ceremony!
"Are you a master of the seventeenth level of truth?"

Shen Ye wondered.

The old man smiled and said with relief on his face: "It's me. I'm glad you can remember everything."

"By the way, thank you for always trying to save me at that time - this is also the reason why Chaos Ship finally decided to do its best to save me."

Shen Ye stroked his forehead, enduring the remaining pain in his mind, and whispered:

"This isn't right, why am I back in the real world?"

"Could it be that the destroyed universe where the 'Eternal Brain' resides is the grave of creation?"

The old man said, "What you said is a secret that no one knows. If you can figure out everything now, I will guard the surroundings for you first."

"Is it dangerous here?" Shen Ye asked.

"You are the one who is in danger. At this moment, your soul has just returned to your original body, and you will be weak for a while."

"It took me a while to figure out that you originally came from the Tomb of Creation."

The old man said.

"...Then you protect me for a while. I want to know the truth now." Shen Ye said.

"it is good."

The old man closed the window and stretched out his hand to make a gesture again.

A slight rumbling sound was heard in the void.

Followed by.

The whole room fell into a special silence.

Shen Ye calmed himself down, pressed his hand against the wall, and said in a low voice:
"Door."

He simply set the obstacle to a distance that would block his view of Xiao Yurong, and then as soon as the door opened, he could see her standing opposite him.

A psychic door opens.

On the other side of the door is the world where the Eternal Brain resides!

Xiao Yurong was indeed standing in the ruins, apparently patrolling and checking the various losses.

She noticed the door immediately.

"Can I come to your place?"

Xiao Yurong asked.

As she spoke, she had already started walking towards Shen Ye.

But no.

Although the door is open, only those allowed by Shen Ye can pass through.

Xiao Yurong was blocked by a wall of nothingness.

"I want to ask you something - why is it that when I go to your place, everything is real? You can even simulate my work so clearly?"

Shen Ye said.

"Isn't this simple?" Xiao Yurong said.

She opened her arms, and from the void behind her, countless biochips emerged.

"I have brainwave samples of trillions of people. I can absorb your subtle expressions and some fragments of thoughts, thus constantly forming a world that alternates between reality and virtuality."

"Besides, you are a remnant."

"I can turn your memories into reality instantly."

"I can fulfill your desire immediately."

Her voice became soft and seductive:

"Money, power, beauty - even eternal life, as long as you are willing to submit to me, I will give you everything."

Bang!
The door closes.

Damn!

It turns out that everything I came into contact with there was temporarily created on the spot by artificial intelligence through the interaction of simulation and reality.

but--

That's indeed the "real world".

Aren’t I the “gatekeeper between nightmares and reality”?

"Boss, do you know why a world is called 'reality'?"

Shen Ye asked.

The old man coughed lightly and said, "Because in the void of truth, there is the 'Grave of Creation' - it is the burial place of everything, even the truth perishes in it, so it is called reality."

Shen Ye was stunned.

So I made a mistake?

"The gatekeeper between nightmares and reality"——

The emptiness of truth is the "reality" therein.

As for the nightmare world, it is just a spiritual world derived from the Hun Tian Shu and cannot match "reality" at all.

So what exactly is a nightmare?
"What kind of place does 'nightmare' represent?" Shen Ye asked again.

"A nightmare, of course, is an endless space that is completely destroyed—"

"Everything in it is destroyed, and no living creature can exist anymore. It is the true 'nightmare' of all living beings."

The old man replied.

Shen Ye stroked his forehead with his hand, sighed, and was speechless for a long time.

this moment.

He even had a feeling that "fate was playing tricks on him".

"What is the Tomb of Creation? You said I came from here?" he asked again.

The old man said, "The Tomb of Creation is a very ancient thing. You won't be able to get the answer no matter who you ask."

"But I've lived long enough to have seen it all and know it."

"——Everything on the other side of the barrier was destroyed."

"Some debris of creation broke through the barrier and came into the void of truth, forming a tomb."

"The grave contains a completely destroyed creation. The survivors who survived the creation call this grave 'Earth'."

"By the way."

"The other side of the barrier should be a nightmare by now." "——There is only destruction over there, no living things."

Shen Ye fell into silence.

What a nightmare and reality.

That's what happened.

He suddenly felt something and turned to look out the window.

I saw a black cat squatting on the railing outside the window, and a row of crows standing on the branches.

The cat and the crow stared at him coldly.

The old man said loudly:

"Ignore these guys. They sense the breath of truth in your soul and want to kill you and absorb your power!"

The old man performed another trick.

The void outside suddenly shook, and a sound like thunder erupted.

The crow flew away in panic.

The cat immediately ran away.

Bang.

The door to the ward opens.

The nurse came in and shouted, "What are you arguing about? Didn't we just agree on this? Go and pay the bill."

Shen Ye and the old man looked at each other.

"I'll go and hand it in."

The old man gave him a reassuring look and hurriedly followed the nurse out of the ward.

Only Shen Ye was left lying on the hospital bed.

Is this the real world?

Still have some doubts.

but--

Anyway, get some money in hand first.

That boss at the seventeenth level of truth doesn't look like he is rich.

Shen Ye picked up his phone, downloaded "Jiedaibao", quickly filled out the form, and submitted the loan application.

Ding!
A message quickly popped up and appeared on the phone screen:
"Sorry, your credit rating is not high enough to apply for a 1000 yuan credit line."

“You can try to apply for a 500 yuan credit limit.”

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then filled out the form and applied for a credit line of 500 yuan.

Ding!
"Sorry, your credit rating is not high enough to apply for a 500 yuan credit line."

“You can try to apply for a 100 yuan credit limit.”

This is correct now——

Sure enough, this is the real world!
Shen Ye closed Jiedaibao and opened various other apps to check them carefully.

In the game, your character is still there.

The news is still the same as today, exactly as I remember it.

The time is July 11th.

It also fits perfectly.

There were footsteps in the corridor.

The door opens.

The old man came in with a bowl and put it on the counter:

"Eat this bowl of noodles and let's go back."

"It smells so good, chicken noodle soup?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes - it's important that you eat quickly," said the old man.

Shen Ye didn't ask any more questions, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a noodle.

In the void.

Lines of dim words quietly emerged:

"You are the master of the ultimate creation, the 'Multi-layered Universe'."

"You have the trait power of 'eating'."

"When you 'eat', you will gradually grow stronger, and the power of your soul will gradually permeate this body."

"Currently eating: Chicken noodle soup."

"Your various attributes have been slightly improved."

"Please note."

"Your soul has gone to the Void of Truth, but your body remains in the Tomb of Creation, so your body is still weak."

While eating noodles, Shen Ye glanced at his own image.

Both young Shen Ye and young man Shen Ye were in a deep sleep.

The young boy Shen Ye is the body of a boy in a multi-layered universe.

The young man Shen Ye is the body that the artificial intelligence has equipped for his soul in the Eternal Brain.

With my current strength——

There is no way to awaken these two bodies.

……interesting.

Now there are three of me existing at the same time.

There are enough people to play Landlord.

All it takes to play mahjong is one person.

Looking up at the image, one saw Chatelet sleeping on a lotus platform, wrapped in layers of petals.

"Unable to awaken, insufficient power, please replenish the source of truth for the 'Multi-layer Universe'."

Shen Ye looked at it for a while and then exited the Dharma form.

"How can we replenish the source of truth?"

he asked as he ate.

"It's difficult!" said the old man.

"There must be a way." Shen Ye asked.

"I woke up many years earlier than you, and now I am only barely able to maintain some strength. If you want to activate the entire multi-layered universe, you need to find enough source of truth from this tomb."

"This source of power is hidden in some incomplete and destroyed creations of truth."

The old man explained.

"Are there also creatures of truth on Earth?" Shen Ye asked with interest.

"Of course, although this is a cemetery, it also contains the remains and debris of those creatures of truth. Even among you survivors, there are countless legends, such as -"

"Heaven."

"For example, the Garden of Eden and the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Too many creations were destroyed here and turned into graves."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas is also true, but those existences have also been destroyed."

The old man said.

Shen Ye finished his noodles and suddenly felt more energetic.

Small words appeared quietly in the dim light:

"All attributes +0.5."

Wave.

This body is different from the previous two, it is a completely ordinary person.

Adding 0.5 doesn't make much difference.

——This is my real body!
Shen Ye sighed.

"That's about it. I came here just to pick you up. Let's go now."

The old man packed his things in a hurry.

"Okay - but I want to know how to obtain enough source power from those destroyed creatures of truth." Shen Ye helped to pack up.

"First, you have to wake them up."

"How to wake up?"

The two walked out together.

There was no one in the corridor at this time, so they quickly walked through the doctor's lounge, treatment room, and emergency hall and came out of the hospital.

The street lamps emitted a dim light, illuminating the private cars whizzing away on the road.

The old man stretched out his hand to stop a taxi and said without turning his head:

"For example, in the Garden of Eden, you have to awaken at least twelve angels to awaken its remaining power."

"Twelve angels! Where can I find them?" Shen Ye said in astonishment.

“At least twelve people need to be upgraded to a certain level of strength - this is indeed difficult, so you can change your thinking and choose other creatures of truth,” said the old man.

"Wait a minute - choosing other truth creations also requires corresponding gods?"

"Yes."

"Where can I find such a god?" Shen Ye asked.

"Gods are made of humans, and even in a multi-layered universe, humans are very rare."

"Before Chatelet fell asleep, he told me a secret and asked me to tell you—"

The old man couldn't get a taxi, so he took him to the bus stop and said in a low voice:

"In fact, many humans in the multi-layered universe are souls she selected from the Tomb of Creation."

"These outstanding souls dream about multiple universes at night, and return here to continue their lives when they wake up during the day."

"Of course, these humans are unaware of this."

"Their power is suppressed, restricted, and imprisoned. They cannot be increased too quickly or too much. This is to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"But before Chatelet fell asleep, he had already removed this restriction."

"——If you help these people improve their strength, you can awaken their void memories and even use them to become gods."

"If you seal enough of the Ten Kings of Hell, then Hell will awaken and you can draw on its power."

“If you have sealed enough of the Three Pure Ones, Four Imperial Gods, Five Elders, Six Officials, Seven Elements, Eight Extremes, Nine Lights, and Ten Capitals for the Heavenly Palace, you can also awaken the remaining power of the Heavenly Palace.”

"But first you have to find the right person!"

The old man finished his rambling.

Shen Ye thought for a while, then sighed:

"But I don't know which ones can be awakened."

"Yes, this is quite troublesome," the old man agreed. "In the vast sea of ​​people, trying to find those outstanding souls in the multi-layered universe is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Both fell into silence.

At this moment.

The bus is coming.

"Bus 710...is not the bus we want to take. Let's wait a little longer." said the old man.

"Okay." Shen Ye said.

Perhaps the city was about to host a film festival, and the entire body of the bus was projected with an advertisement for an award-winning actor.

Shen Ye took a few glances at the advertisement on the car body and was about to continue chatting with the old man when he suddenly shut up.

in the dark.

Two lines of small, dim words popped out and appeared next to the portrait advertisement.

Shen Ye was stunned.

He took a few steps back and stared at the actor carefully for a while.

Yes.

It really looks a bit similar!

You could even say he's the younger version of that guy!
"What are you watching? Do you know this movie star? I've seen a few of his movies - there are many forms of entertainment in this world."

The old man chatted casually.

"No... I think we have found the right partner." Shen Ye said.

"Him? He's just an actor." The old man said in surprise.

"But his soul has been to multiple universes." Shen Ye said.

"Can it be trained?" The old man became excited.

"Absolutely, and it should be easy to awaken the memory." Shen Ye said.

The two lines of glowing small characters still floated in the void, revealing a hidden interpretation of the movie emperor:

"Discovering the Multi-Layered Cosmic Human Soul:"

"Nangong Sirui."
