Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 49

The knights gazed with reverence at the boy who had survived a great calamity—

No, he should now be called Saint Peppa!

Shen Ye was stunned.

Saint—Peppa?

Shen Peppa?

Damn it, this even exposed his surname, didn’t it?

Alright, alright, so this is how you play.

I’m done!

No one can stand such humiliation!

I’m leaving!

Shen Ye’s heart was filled with grief and indignation. He was about to summon the door to leave when he suddenly saw a line of faint glowing words appear:

“Congratulations! You did it!”

He stopped.

Something came to mind.

Oh, right… I’m not here to be Peppa, I have a mission!

The faint glowing words kept floating in the void:

“You were continuously surrounded and hunted by both the undead and humans, yet you survived.”

“The undead have dropped their hostility towards you.”

“The humans have done the same.”

“The undead left a Bone Medallion, granting you the codename ‘The Little Match Boy’;”

“The Prince of the Human Empire bestowed upon you the name Saint Peppa and held a sacred ceremony for you.”

“This signifies that both major races consider you one of their own, trustworthy and worth cultivating.”

“Assessment: As an ordinary human, the highest-grade descriptor you can obtain is white, but you managed to resolve a difficult situation by leveraging others’ strengths in an environment where you couldn’t defeat anyone, turning around people’s impressions, and even making them willing to help you. This is the fundamental reason why you were able to obtain this descriptor exceptionally.”

“Congratulations.”

“You have obtained the assessment descriptor for the third time: One of Us.”

The void trembled.

A ethereal door silently appeared, but it was invisible to anyone except Shen Ye.

Lines of characters, emitting a fierce light, appeared on the door:

“You have obtained the special honorary descriptor: ‘An ordinary person who has exceptionally obtained the same assessment descriptor three times consecutively.'”

“This is impossible, and yet you achieved it.”

“This honorary descriptor automatically completed its sacrifice, triggering a strong resonance that added a hidden ability to your ‘door’:”

“Temporal Fluidity.”

“Elementary.”

“Description: When you step through the door, you can freeze time on one side of the door at the moment you left it, while on the other side of the door, time flows normally for all things.”

“This ability can last for 3 seconds.”

“After each use, it cannot be activated again for one week (with you as the temporal reference).”

“—A special power of the temporal axis, a hidden rule, the power of a two-world door unseen by all beings.”

“Furthermore, the next time you break through your assessment level and obtain a blue (excellent) or higher assessment descriptor, the ‘door’ will gain a new ability.”

Shen Ye quickly read through it.

Never mind when he would obtain a higher-grade descriptor next.

Just this “Temporal Fluidity”—

It only lasted 3 seconds.

An ability that only lasted 3 seconds.

But it required a whole week to cool down?

How was he supposed to use that?

Fortunately, he didn’t have a girlfriend, otherwise, she’d probably break up with him immediately.

Tsk.

This ability…

Even if he went to the Imperial Military Academy in the future, if a teacher asked, “Child, what is your ability? How long can it last, and how long does it take to recover?”

Would he dare to say it?

Shen Ye was both indignant and melancholic.

But he was a person who could adjust his mindset. After thinking it over carefully, he quickly regained his composure.

In fact, the truly valuable thing was the nature of this ability—

It was actually related to time!

Or rather, did the “door” ability inherently have astonishing developmental potential?

Perhaps by continuously enhancing it, it could become more lasting?

Time!

Controlling time!!!

If that were the case, his future would be bright!

Shen Ye convinced himself.

In this situation, looking at the name again felt like a minor issue, completely unimportant.

Worst case, one day he’d return to Earth and immediately change his household registration and name!

“I’ll pretend I didn’t see what happened today. You and your partner need to be careful in the future and not expose yourselves,” Prince Norton said.

“Understood, Your Highness,” Shen Ye said.

“Tell me in advance if anything happens. If you can render meritorious service, I will not be stingy with rewards,” Prince Norton added.

He handed a magic envelope to Shen Ye.

The white-haired elder explained the method of use to Shen Ye.

—After all, this Saint Peppa had an undead informant, and the informant seemed to only recognize Peppa.

If Saint Peppa could obtain some confidential information—

As long as it was reported, His Royal Highness would naturally be generous.

After everything was explained.

Everyone waved to him, then turned and galloped towards the human military camp.

Court Archmage Yudria specifically stayed behind and whispered:

“Saint Peppa, let me tell you, the name Peppa actually holds a secret.”

“What secret?” Shen Ye immediately lowered his voice and asked.

“In ancient legends, there’s a secret hidden within, which is that Peppa’s weapons are unpredictable. Sometimes it’s swords, sometimes spears and bows, and sometimes even strange weapons unknown to humans,” Yudria said.

“His weapons are strange, so he’s called Peppa, right?” Shen Ye murmured.

“You truly live up to your name, Saint Peppa, you understand immediately!” Yudria exclaimed.

“Thank you for the compliment,” Shen Ye said blankly.

“—Remember, you also need to work hard and strive to become a master proficient in all kinds of weapons,” Yudria admonished.

“Wait!” Shen Ye suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, “Are there many people named Peppa?”

“Quite a few. Among the people I know, there are five,” Yudria said.

Shen Ye inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he wasn’t the only one, he felt much better.

But a new problem arose.

“Everyone is called Peppa? How do you distinguish them?” he asked.

“It’s actually very easy to distinguish them—”

Yudria recalled, “For example, the people I know are Old Peppa, Little Peppa, Red Peppa, Big Peppa, and Fat Peppa.”

As if to encourage him, or for some other reason, Yudria patted his shoulder and said:

“However, Saint Peppa requires a royal conferment, so you are the only one.”

“Well, thank you very much,” Shen Ye said emotionlessly.

“Keep up the good work, the Prince thinks highly of you,” Yudria smiled at him.

She turned and galloped away on her horse, chasing after the distant main army.

Only Saint Peppa and Big Skeleton remained.

Saint Peppa looked at the magic envelope in his hand.

Inside was a precious magic letter paper—

Anything written on the magically woven paper would immediately appear on another magic letter paper in Prince Norton’s hand.

Quite an interesting item.

Saint Peppa put away the magic envelope and then picked up the skull.

“We should go too, Peppa,” the skull said casually.

“You’re asking for death.”

“Huh? Why are you angry?”

“…Don’t call me that, call me Shen Ye, got it?”

“Got it, Peppa.”

“Didn’t I say to call me Shen Ye? I’m ignoring you!”

“Wait for me! I was wrong, Peppa!”

“Damn it, you have no memory!”

Saint Peppa walked deep into the dense forest, kicking the skull as he went, until he reached a very secluded spot. Only then did he open a door, kick the skull in first, and then step inside himself.

He returned to his dormitory.

First things first—

“Devour ‘One of Us’.”

Shen Ye silently thought.

The assessment descriptor was immediately devoured.

The attribute points changed from “7” to “10”.

10.

Shen Ye pondered for a while.

He remembered that when he revealed “3” points of mental power, Qian Rushan excitedly signed him on the spot.

Now, if he added the attribute points, his mental power would reach “11.”

What would Qian Rushan think if he knew?

Anyway—

He had done his best to complete three “One of Us” descriptors, gaining “Temporal Fluidity” and 3 attribute points.

That was enough for today.

He would continue to work hard at the same time tomorrow.

Shen Ye stretched, ordered a bunch of calcium supplements, and then took a shower.

The delivery arrived just as he finished his shower.

It was a good time to change the water in the fish tank, then throw in a bunch of turtles for the Big Skeleton to chew on.

—This time, it had teeth and its head wasn’t broken, so it ate happily.

A short, thick section of spine grew out.

It was quite cute.

Shen Ye watched for a while, then rubbed his eyes.

He was sleepy.

The clock on the wall already pointed to 6:00 AM.

Next.

He could finally rest.

It was already 6 AM!

Turn off the lights, turn off the lights, quickly go to bed.

He tossed and turned in bed.

He couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

After all, too much had happened in this day and night.

His neck and shoulders were also uncomfortable.

Shen Ye’s mind wandered for 59 minutes before he finally fell into a dream.

7:00 AM.

Someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it!” Shen Ye yelled angrily.

“It’s me! Hurry up, we’re leaving soon!” Qian Rushan’s voice rang out.
