Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 580 Permission from Dreams!
"Do you know why there are seven levels of dreams?"

"do not know."

"It is said that this is the law of dreams - almost no one can wake up from seven dreams in a row - they are one inside another."

"So this is the test from the dream world?"

"Yes, if you fail, you can only follow their rules."

"Let me try."

Shen Ye said excitedly.

He placed his hand into the void, sensing the power of the dream, and suddenly took a step forward.

The whole world suddenly changed.

He found himself standing in a dark and narrow concrete passage.

There are a few words written on one side of the wall:
"Outsiders."

"You chose to challenge the dream world instead of serving it."

"In this challenge, the dream world will be hostile to you."

"When you break through the blockade of the Seventh Layer of Dreams and succeed in the challenge, your dream-related skills will no longer be subject to the control of the dream world."

"If you fail—"

"You must pay ten times the military merit to be allowed to use your dream-like skills at certain times."

"Do you want to start immediately?"

"——A message from the dream world."

Shen Ye looked at it for a while and asked:
"Chatelet, I really don't understand why I need their permission to use the skills I created."

"There is no way - the dream rules are gathered here."

"Among all the worlds, mastering a world where laws gather means being in a dominant position," said Chatelet.

"Even if we get permission, it can only be used at certain times. Why is that?" Shen Ye asked.

"This is to collect fees. It's like a contract, or even a sacrifice. You must make the sacrifice sincerely to be qualified to use the rules."

There was a hint of seriousness in Chatelet's tone.

She noticed it.

Shen Ye seemed to care a lot about this matter.

"Don't think too much. Even the most basic spellcasting profession needs to chant spells and request the invocation of laws."

"This is the rule."

Shen Ye thought so.

It seems like everyone is used to this.

but--

Just get used to it, right?

It is clearly his own move, but he has to ask for permission from a higher level.

——What if the other party doesn’t allow it at a critical moment?
It's like leaving your destiny in the hands of someone else.

Too passive.

Shen Ye lowered his head, and a deep and unfathomable emotion flashed across his eyes.

Think about it carefully.

There are four rules in my swordsmanship.

As I progress, there may be more types of laws, or laws of higher orders of magnitude.

Do I have to work for four worlds?

——Now that I have entered the extraordinary world, do I still have to work for you?
your sister.

I will never work for a part-time job, I will never work for a part-time job again in my life!

My knife skills.

I use it however I want!
Shen Ye pressed his hands against the wall and said in a low voice:
"start!"

The notice on the wall turned to dust, peeled off and disappeared.

A rhythmic knocking sound came from deep in the cement tunnel.

What is it?
Shen Ye simply didn't move, just stood there and waited quietly.

Soon.

A humanoid monster wrapped in bandages crawled over.

"Are you still busy? Have you eaten yet?"

Shen Ye greeted.

The humanoid monster nodded at him, squeezed past him, and quickly disappeared at the other end of the passage.

Small words appeared in front of Shen Ye:
"You activated the term 'most familiar stranger' and set the other party as an acquaintance."

"This entry has been blessed by the War Dance Songstress."

"Your personal level has also reached the fourteenth level of truth."

"The other party is suppressed!"

"The other party has already left the scene after greeting you."

"The effect of the term lasts for a limited time."

"Please evacuate immediately!"

Shen Ye glanced at it and ignored the prompts. He just leaned against the wall and took a short rest.

Soon.

More rapid sounds came from the direction where the monster disappeared.

——It’s back!
The monster roared angrily and was about to pounce on Shen Ye——

suddenly.

Shen Ye disappeared all of a sudden.

The monster froze.

It crawled around in confusion, and even stopped for a while where Shen Ye was standing.

Still can't find that human.

But there was a rhythmic knocking sound coming from deep in the cement tunnel.

What is it?
The monster suddenly assumed an attacking stance and looked towards where the sound came from.

Soon.

A humanoid monster wrapped in bandages crawled over.

It crawled in front of it and asked:
"Are you still busy? Have you eaten yet?"

The monster was stunned and didn't know what to do for a long time.

Finally it decided to take action.

"Roar--"

The monster rushed towards the monster that had just appeared.

The latter disappeared again.

Now the monster understood.

It’s a dream!
——Obviously, he was the one conducting this level of the test, but he ended up being subjected to the dream magic by the other party!
The monster roared and was about to cast some magic, but it froze in place again.

Knife.

A long knife was gently pressed against its neck.

"Let me go to the next floor."

someone said.

The blade began to pierce the neck.

If you don't let him go, you will die!
"by!"

The monster had to shout.

Moment.

The man disappeared along with his knife.

Only the monster was left in the dark cement passage, constantly touching his neck with his hands.

There is blood.

Blood! ! !

The monster screamed and suddenly transformed into a man with colorful wings, roaring:
"This guy is a psycho!"

"He actually wanted to kill me!"

"——I demand that he be disqualified from the challenge!"

Seven or eight men and women with colorful wings appeared in the void around them.

The leader had a gloomy face and shouted:

"Shut up! You've been messed up by a newbie, and you still have the nerve to yell."

The man was startled and touched his neck with his hand.

The neck is intact.

There are no wounds at all!
An old man spoke up:

"This guy has bad intentions. He should be taught a lesson for teasing us like this."

"Of course." The leading Colorful Winged One said, "Next level, do your best to stop him from passing."

"Yes!"

the other side.

The second layer of dreams.

Shen Ye found himself standing on a wide street.

night.

Heavy traffic.

The crowd was bustling.

——This is a completely earth-like scene.

But the next moment.

Everyone disappeared.

The streets were full of cars crashing into each other.

All the street lights were out.

Everything goes quiet.

The whole world went from being extremely prosperous and noisy to being dead silent.

Shen Ye looked around.

The world is too big.

No monsters appeared.

How to deal with this?

Intelligence is also difficult to collect.

etc--

There is an ultimate creature who is very good at this kind of thing.

"Susu."

Shen Ye shouted.

"I know. Let me help you take a look."

Following the female voice, a woman walked out from the nothingness behind him, knelt on one knee, and pressed her hands on the ground.

Waited for a few breaths.

"No one - this is a dream of 'no one', you are probably trapped here." Su Su said.

"There were so many people here just now, how come they all disappeared all of a sudden?" Uncle Seven interrupted.

Shen Ye sensed the imperceptible fluctuations in the void and said:

"They have increased the power of the laws, making this level of dreaming more difficult."

"Yeah, they probably mind your behavior when you pass the first floor."

Chatelet answered.

"I wanted to be friendly, but my hand slipped." Shen Ye shrugged.

"It's obvious that you have a problem with them," Chaos Boat said.

"How did you know that?" Shen Ye asked.

"You called them 'them', and Chatelet called them 'them'." said the Chaos Boat.

There was silence.

"Enough, stop joking like that. How can we tell which 'it' he is using?" Su Su said.

"No, I've been evolving the languages ​​of various civilizations recently, so when you talk, I have subtitles here." said Chaos Boat.

"So he used 'it'?" asked Uncle Seven.

"Yes." said Chaos Boat.

"That's great." said Uncle Seven.

"Why is it good?" asked Chaos Boat.

"We should have a good fight - if we win, we won't be ruled by the dream world, and we can use the dream world rules at will in the future - I plan to ask Shen Ye to help me build a dream world breakfast shop."

Uncle Seven said.

"You have evolved to the nineteenth level of truth, and you still open a breakfast shop?" Shen Ye couldn't understand.

"Breakfast for humans is a wonderful ritual. I only need to spend a tiny amount of energy to receive the sincere sacrifices of my diners."

Uncle Seven said.

"I want to eat free food." said Su Su.

"No problem - how about you control those guys and let them come in for breakfast?" asked Uncle Seven.

"Okay." Su Su agreed readily.

"Then what should I do?" asked Chaos Boat.

"You are responsible for adjusting the taste, because you are good at evolution and can capture the changes in the taste of food." Uncle Qi said.

Shen Ye was speechless for a while.

This is the second level of dream.

Several creators have already started considering opening a store.

——You are more confident than me.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

creation.

yes……

"Hey, you are all creatures, will you be confused by dreams?"

Shen Ye asked.

"Confused? Why should I be confused?" Su Su asked curiously.

"It means that you no longer know whether the thing on the other side is real or fake." Shen Ye explained.

"True or not... this has little to do with us," Uncle Qi murmured, "For example, if you have a pistol, it's your business whether you pull the trigger or not, but the gun doesn't care who is on the other side."

"You mean - creation is like a gun?" Shen Ye asked.

"It is just like that. We don't distinguish between true and false. There is only one word - do it." Said Chaos Boat.

"Bah!" Su Su and Xia Te said in unison.

Shen Ye tilted his head and thought about it.

That's right.

but--

"Chaos Ship, fire it and see what happens." Shen Ye said.

"it is good."

A giant metal boat that covered the sky and the sun suddenly appeared behind Shen Ye. It extended its hard and thick gun barrel and fired a shot at the building in the distance.

boom--

The whole city seemed like a mirage. After being blasted through by artillery shells, it quickly returned to its original state.

"It's a dream. It's useless to blast it."

The boat of chaos.

Shen Ye pondered for a few breaths and said:

"Fire again."

"Come again?" Chaos Boat was a little confused about what he meant.

"Yeah, full strength."

"it is good."

The Chaos Ship fired its second shot.

The shells flew out, penetrated the tall buildings, and drilled into the ground, directly causing a major earthquake.

Rumble, rumble——

The whole world was blasted through by this cannon and completely collapsed.

As the third-ranked being among the Creations of Truth, its strength is unquestionable.

The second layer of dream, shattered!
It was dark all around.

Shen Ye took a step forward and walked directly into a white light.

A line of small, dim words popped out:

"I have entered the third level of the dream."

Come in!
"That's strange, why can the second shot hit the dream?" asked the Chaos Boat.

"Because I added a little bit of stuff to your shells." Shen Ye said.

Lines of dim words appeared before his eyes:

"You used the term 'Mandala Ouroboros' to absorb the dream elements of the second layer of dreams."

"With the help of the Mandala Lyrics, you integrated the Chaos Ship's shells into the elements of the dream, turning them into a part of the dream and returning them to you."

Physical objects cannot penetrate dreams.

But if the shell has been transformed by Shen Ye——

"A cannonball that can destroy the entire world" is also part of the dream, what will be the result?
The answer is already in front of us.

"Should I continue bombing?"

Chaos Boat asked excitedly.

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded:
"stop!"

I saw a fat man with colorful wings on his back landing and said hurriedly:

"Why do you allow your men to wantonly destroy the dream world?!"

"But I want to break through the blockade of the dream. How can I escape from the dream world without destroying it?" Shen Ye asked with some guilt.

——Destroying a world is not a difficult task for the Chaos Boat.

But this method is more provocative and makes the other party more unhappy than what he did in the first level of the dream.

The fat man straightened his expression and said:

"In short, you are not allowed to destroy the dream world - if you do it again, your qualifications will be completely suspended, and you will never be able to obtain permission to enter the dream world again."

"Okay, I understand. I won't do this next time." Shen Ye said with a smile.

"Then hand over your men."

"Ok?"

"Yes, you just caused great damage to the dream world. The destroyer must be left behind and punished by us."

Shen Ye was silent for a moment, then gently placed his hand on the hilt of the knife, still smiling, and said:

"Is it true that we can't destroy the dream world?"

"That's the rule." the other party said.

"But I didn't receive any reminders or explanations in this regard, so this is your problem, not mine, and certainly not my subordinates'." Shen Ye said.

"Now you know - stop talking nonsense. If you don't hand over your men to take the blame, your qualifications will be revoked immediately."

As the dream creature was speaking, he suddenly saw a flash before his eyes.

——There was absolutely no time to react.

With a clang, the long sword returned to the sheath.

Look at the young man again.

He stood there, as if he had done something, yet as if he had done nothing.

But the surrounding environment has changed.

The two stood on the long, deserted street.

All around were tall buildings, long lines of stalled cars, and streets without any lights.

——This is Earth.

The second level of dream has been restored!
The fat man with colorful wings was stunned.

Shen Ye said, "The second dream is intact - my men didn't cause any damage, so you don't have to capture it, right?"

Small words appeared quietly in the air, showing the knife just now:

"Your sword has turned the destruction of the second layer of dreams into a dream, and has caused this dream to vanish into thin air."

"From this everything is restored."

——The second layer of the dream was restored intact!

Not to mention the fat man with colorful wings on the opposite side, even Chatelaine, Su Su, Uncle Seven and the Chaos Boat were all stunned by this miraculous swordsmanship.

"Huan Tian Shu?" asked Uncle Seven.

"No, it was just a casual slash on his part. Now he can perform the three techniques with his swordsmanship very easily and naturally," said Chatley.

"The main thing is that he dared to think - damn, what kind of brain does he have." Chaos Boat whispered.

"Be quiet, watch him fight more, and learn from him."

Su Su said solemnly.

"I agree." said Uncle Seven.

Chatelet said nothing more, but chuckled softly.

Three thousand years——

Shen Ye has already brought the three skills to their full potential, even breaking through the limits and achieving unprecedented swordsmanship.

This is something I never dared to think about before.

Maybe……

Is this also where my hope lies?
While a few people were whispering, new changes occurred on the scene.

Caiyi Fatty looked at Shen Ye deeply and said:

"You are too cunning."

"Without knowing it, I destroyed a dream, but compensated you with another one. Is this also called cunning?" Shen Ye asked in confusion.

"Stop destroying my dreams."

After the fat man with colorful wings finished speaking, his figure sank into the void and disappeared.

in the dark.

Only Shen Ye was left standing there.

He looked around and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he said:

"Su Su, have you ever parasitized a dream?"

"No," Su Su's eyes lit up, "Can you transform me into a dream-like creature? I haven't played in a dream-like world yet."

"Come." Shen Ye said.

He swung the long knife, lightly cutting a mark in the air.

Su Su immediately jumped out of the Dharma image, sank into the cut and disappeared.

next second.

The cut gradually returned to invisible void.

Everything is back to normal.

"Is it okay? We have never dealt with the Ten Thousand Worlds before. Wouldn't it be too hasty?"

Chaos Boat asked nervously.

"Chatlet told me that the world of truth is actually no worse than any other world in the universe." Shen Ye said.

"Is that really the case? Doesn't that mean we are pretty good too?" asked Uncle Seven.

"Shen Ye is right, but there is a huge problem in our world of truth," said Chatley.

"what is the problem?"

"We don't have a Void Saint - without a saint, the world is not strong enough, and once the barrier is broken, it will be at the mercy of others." said Chatelet.

At this time, Su Su had already tried to control the dream, so the few of them just stood there and chatted.

Shen Ye was about to continue asking about the world of truth.

suddenly.

The earth world transformed by the dream disappeared.

——The world is gone!

Shen Ye was floating alone in the dark void, with nothing around him.

"what's the situation?"

He was a little confused.

"Kicked out—they terminated your trial," said Chatelet.

"Why?" The Chaos Boat cried out strangely.

"Did you see Shen Ye release the Parasitic Queen just now?" Uncle Seven asked.

"No, I just had a dream. It shouldn't be so easy for them to see through it - they can't see Su Su either." Shen Ye said.

——Then why were you kicked out?
Several people were somewhat puzzled.

In the void.

A female voice sounded quietly:
"I can't hold the entrance open for long. Come in."

It's Su Su!
Fortunately, I just transformed her into a dream creature and put her into the dream!
She is the Parasite Queen.

At this moment, she can already control the dream world a little.

Shen Ye immediately crawled into the hole.

Once inside.

He fell into a long pipe.

There was gray fog all around.

"What is this place?"

Shen Ye asked.

"The other side of the dream - it has a perfect set of operating rules." Su Su's expression was a little solemn.

Shen Ye saw the clue and asked:

"You look a little nervous, did you find something?"

"My element is 'parasitism'. Once the parasitism is successful, I will obtain a lot of information about the host and even control everything about the host." Su Su said.

"Yes, I know that." Shen Ye nodded.

Among the "five desire chains" and "six consciousness barriers" of that knife, some "parasitic" elements play a role.

"Look at that fog. It's almost uncontrollable."

Su Su said.

Shen Ye looked around.

Gray mist filled the entire metal pipe.

It moves slowly, silently, and seemingly non-existent.

Does not exist...

Shen Ye became inexplicably nervous and asked:
“Is there anything special about this fog?”

"It doesn't belong to the dream world - I can feel the 'body' of the entire dream world, but this fog has another rule, another unknown thing." Su Su said.

Chatelet's voice suddenly sounded:

"Su Su, you enter Shen Ye's Dharma image, and then we will leave immediately."

"Why?" Shen Ye asked.

"A world of pure rules will never allow other rules to spread so recklessly."

"——I suspect the dream world is being invaded by something."

Chatelet Road.

Among all the people, only Chatelet has traveled through the myriad worlds.

Her vision and perspective are crucial.

"A war between two worlds?" Shen Ye pondered, "I don't want to be involved in a conflict of this magnitude, but what's so special about that fog?"

"It's not clear, we need to look carefully." said Chatelet.

She suddenly appeared from behind Shen Ye, her long golden hair suddenly turned black, and her pupils turned emerald green.

——The prophetic personality Peasso!

"It's a terrifying thing... But it's safe for us for now."

Peasso stared at the gray mist, took out a large shield and threw it into the mist.

The expected crash did not occur.

The shield disappeared.

"What's going on with this fog?" Shen Ye asked.

"Everything that enters will 'cease to exist'." said Peasso.

"No longer exists? Will you never come back?" Shen Ye asked.

"I'm not sure. This is all we can see now. It should be some kind of extremely high-level rule power." Peasso said.

——If that’s the case, then the dream world has indeed been invaded by another world of rules.

Then just run away.

but--

"Can I use my sword skills again without the permission of the dream world in the future?"

Shen Ye asked.

"No, once your swordsmanship reaches a certain level, you must use a lot of dream rules."

"And all the dream rules are gathered in the dream world."

Pea Cableway.

Shen Ye fell into silence.

——I have been kicked out of the dream world.

This is really inexplicable.

And the world is plunged into war.

The best outcome is to gain permission to use the rules of dreams and leave here immediately!

Is there any way to do this?
Maybe...

I still have one chance.

"Su Su, can you take me to the queue?" Shen Ye asked.

"That's the shallowest dream world. I can do it - but they already know you. Do you plan to fight your way out?" Su Su asked.

"No, I decided to be a plain-looking person for the time being." Shen Ye said.

He turned around and transformed into the young man Shen Ye.

——The one facing everyone just now was the young man from the Death Planet.

just now.

He converts the youth of the earth.

Not only are their facial features different, their heights and other aspects are also completely different!
"Hurry, the world seems to be changing very fast."

Peasso urged.

"Okay - Su Su, take me there." Shen Ye said.

The void retreated to both sides.

Shen Ye took a step forward and stood at the last position in the team.

In front.

The long line took a long time to move.

This time.

Shen Ye restrained his aura, even put away his knife, and looked simple and unpretentious.

He lowered his head and followed the team, moving forward slowly.

About an hour later.

Finally it was his turn.

A staff member with colorful wings stood in front of the team.

This time.

Shen Ye had neither the colorful butterfly token nor did he reveal his attainments in dreams.

"Name?"

the staff asked.

"Pei Lun."

"What are you doing in the dream world?"

"I am a summoner, and I came here mainly to obtain permission to use the rules of dreams."

"Summoner? Want to go the dream route? That's a bit strange. How about this? Summon something for me to see."

"Come out! Skeleton King!"

Snapped.

The real Pei Lun appeared!

"This skull... should be something from the death side, but you want to give it the power of dreams?"

The staff shook their heads, somewhat disapprovingly.

"I am a skeleton with dreams, sir." Pei Lun bowed gracefully.

"What is your aspiration?"

"Doing heroic things that look dangerous but aren't safe at all."

"What a skeleton with a dream!"

The staff member thought for a moment and said, "An intelligent skeleton? That doesn't seem impossible."

Shen Ye had a brief conversation with Chatelaine, then took out a bag and stuffed it into the other party's hand.

"Countryside products are not worthy of respect."

he whispered.

The staff member understood what he meant, put the things away, and said in an official tone:
"How strong are you?"

"It's very bad. I'm getting married next year and I urgently need the power of dreams. Otherwise, others will look down on me, sir." Shen Ye said sincerely.

It turns out he wanted to get married.

The staff smiled, shook his head, and nodded.

The power fluctuations throughout this man's body are almost unnoticeable; he is a nobody.

It's just a small thing.

Whatever.

"There is a battle - the kind that is almost over. If you can sponsor a set of equipment for yourself, I will send you to qualify."

the staff member said.

"I'll sponsor it." Shen Ye said immediately.

He simply touched another bag and handed it over.

——This bag is much heavier than the previous one.

In all worlds, something called Law Crystal is used as a high-level currency.

The gold just handed over can only be considered low-level currency.

——These are all left behind by Chatelet when he traveled through the worlds.

In order to quickly obtain the qualification to use the power of dreams, he took it out temporarily at this moment.

The staff member got the bag, touched it briefly, and then smiled.

He slowly took out a badge, pinned it on Shen Ye's chest, and said:

"I'll take you in."

"Remember, as long as you survive until the end of the war, you will automatically be qualified to use the power of dreams."

"——The war will be over soon."

"Take it easy."

The words have not yet fallen.

Shen Ye was teleported away.

next moment.

He appeared in a vast field.

The war is indeed coming to an end.

The ground was littered with corpses of strange shapes, piled up like mountains.

There were no living creatures around.

——Shen Ye didn’t even see a single moving thing.

Waited for a few breaths.

The emblem emanated a slight vibration.

The staff member's voice came from the badge:
"congratulations."

"You have obtained permission to use the power of dreams. You can use this great power at will in the future."

"Thank you, sir." Shen Ye said.

He glanced at the faint light hint in the void.

really.

I have established some kind of connection with the dream world.

"This is where all the dream rules are gathered."

"You have obtained the emblem of the world and have established a connection with it. From now on, the power of the dream law stimulated by all sword techniques will be stronger!"

"This permission cannot be erased."

It was done easily.

But why is it so simple!
"I don't understand."

Shen Ye transmitted the message.

"Yeah, he showed such a strong dream power, but he was kicked out." Uncle Seven was also a little puzzled.

"Secular methods are sometimes more efficient. You have to get used to this." Chaos Ark said in an educational tone.

"Wait a minute, this place is weird." Su Su's voice was filled with nervousness.

Shen Ye looked around.

The battle seemed truly over.

Because there was no sign of fighting, nor any fluctuation of magic.

But the strange thing is——

Why am I the only living person here?
"Sir, please send me back." Shen Ye said again.

The staff member's voice sounded on the emblem:

"You have obtained the power permission of the dream world. This is the highest honor."

"Go and die in peace."

The sound disappears.

A dark fog was rising all around.

——Exactly like the one in that pipe.

"Be careful, there is a big guy approaching this side quickly."

Pea Cableway.

"Do you want to fight?" Shen Ye asked.

"Too strong! This will be troublesome! The battle will be very dangerous and the outcome is unclear!" Peasso said quickly.

"Is there any other information?" Shen Ye asked again, pressing his hand on the knife.

"There is a secret passage twenty meters ahead of you. You can retreat from there - quickly!"

Su Su's voice rang out.

"it is good!"

Shen Ye rushed forward instantly, pried open the ground with a knife, and drilled into the underground pipe.

As soon as he landed, he saw a stunned man.

——This person has colorful wings on his back.

It's that staff member!
Shen Ye looked at the man and suddenly laughed.

"grown ups."

"I have now gained the power of dreams, thanks to you."

He wielded the knife with one hand and opened the door with the other.

boom! ! !
The secret passage was blasted open by a huge monster.

but.

Shen Ye and the staff member had disappeared long ago.
