Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 84

Bull… strong…

Good name.

I understand why you didn’t say anything.

Shen Ye stood up, stretched, and waved his hand:

“Alright, I won’t bother you anymore, go to hell.”

He took out a playing card, and a line of small text appeared on it:

“You have killed eight candidates.”

“The power boost gained by the adversaries from killing has been absorbed by you.”

“Currently, your ‘meat shield’ has received a further boost and has reached a critical point.”

“Continue the exam, your killing is sufficient, but you still need to complete ‘Wild Survival’ to get a stronger boost!”

So funny.

No need to confront them head-on at all.

With this skull covering his whole body, he moved through the hailstorm freely, barely fighting at all, and it was over.

“Hey, thanks.”

Shen Ye patted the skull on his head.

“No big deal,” Big Skeleton responded disdainfully.

This attitude works.

When I get back, I’ll buy you another batch of turtles and an eel.

Speaking of which—

If only it could hail continuously during the exam.

Shen Ye thought with a hint of regret.

……

On the other side.

The edge of the floating island.

Streams converge here into a waterfall, falling into the lake.

By the lake.

A strikingly handsome man lay reclined on a beautiful woman’s lap, holding a fishing rod and fishing.

Around him, several beautiful maids were busy setting up tents, arranging dinnerware, and cooking food.

Another beautiful maid was massaging his shoulders.

And yet another beautiful maid was holding his feet, carefully giving him a foot massage.

His phone rang.

—It was a video call.

The man frowned, but still answered it.

A middle-aged woman immediately appeared on the screen.

“Sirui? Are you fishing?”

The middle-aged woman asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Nangong Sirui smiled, “The water plants here are abundant, and the fish are plump. After the exam, I’ll bring one back for you to try.”

“Son, it’s exam time now, are you sure it’s okay to be so relaxed?” the middle-aged woman asked.

“Even if I don’t take the exam, they’ll still grant me admission, so my coming here is already giving them a lot of face,” Nangong Sirui said.

The middle-aged woman asked, “Although you say that, Xiao Mengyu is tied with you for first place, aren’t you afraid she’ll surpass you?”

Nangong Sirui complained, “The new card system is too rigid and boring—if everyone carried their clan’s divine artifacts, wouldn’t they all immediately increase their combat power?”

“But not everyone can be recognized by divine artifacts,” the middle-aged woman said.

“That’s true, but I still find it very boring—you know, I only play high-stakes games, so this kind of exam is a waste of time, I’m too lazy to even touch it.”

Nangong Sirui said, taking a grape from a maid’s hand with his mouth.

“However, you still need to be careful—it’s best to pass the exam quickly ,” the middle-aged woman said.

“Why?”

“The法界’s fluctuations are getting stronger, there seems to be a problem where you are.”

“Oh? The proctors don’t care?”

“Hmph, they’re playing a little game, so they pretend not to know—and now external interference will affect the 法界; once unpredictable changes occur, that’s real trouble.”

This finally piqued Nangong Sirui’s interest, and he replied, “Okay, I’ll go around the island and see if I can finish the exam items sooner.”

“Hmm, go ahead.”

The video call ended.

Nangong Sirui stood up and stretched.

“Has something interesting happened? Let’s go have some fun, I’ve caught plenty of fish anyway.”

The maids around him immediately began packing up the tents and luggage.

Soon.

A sedan chair was also prepared.

“Young Master, please get in the sedan chair.”

……

Shen Ye hugged the wooden log and moved swiftly through the forest.

At one point, he suddenly looked up at the sky subconsciously.

Deep in the sky.

There seemed to be a huge object flying in the clouds.

Its massive body cast a shadow under the clouds,正好 enveloping the entire island.

Wait!

Shen Ye suddenly realized something.

The requirement for wild survival was to survive for three days—

In that case, in addition to the hailstones, other unmanageable things would appear.

The next second.

That colossal entity moved slightly within the clouds.

In an instant, the entire cloud layer transformed into crimson fire clouds.

Drops of fiery red rain drifted down from the sky.

The raindrops fell on stones, instantly burning through them; they fell on large trees, and the entire tree ignited.

—Fire rain!

A torrential downpour of fire rain poured down!

Shen Ye moved swiftly, weaving through the rain.

“Damn it, it’s pure destructive fire, I can’t resist this!” Big Skeleton cried out.

“You just said it was a small matter!” Shen Ye said while running.

“Brother, bones are afraid of fire, you should have heard the term ‘bone ash’,” Big Skeleton’s tone softened.

“…Right, you retreat first, I’ll handle it myself!” Shen Ye said.

He patted the skull and brought it back into his ring.

A large area of fire rain fell.

He dodged and weaved through it, then suddenly spun and kicked, bringing up bursts of white frost.

—Frost Bite!

Frost and fire collided, extinguishing each other.

But this was not a long-term solution.

After all, he didn’t know how long the fire rain would last, and his stamina was limited.

He needed to find a place to hide!

Shen Ye continued to sprint.

Now, he was facing the same predicament as those scions earlier.

Could Xiao Mengyu handle it?

Their location was near the mountains; as long as they carved another cave in the mountain wall to hide in, they should be fine.

The only trouble was food.

But they went fishing.

At least for one day, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

Besides, Xiao Mengyu should have prepared some food too.

Shen Ye felt a little relieved, and muttered in his heart:

“Door.”

A door appeared, which he opened, carried, and held above his head.

—The pouring fire rain fell into the door, but couldn’t harm him.

Shen Ye laughed heartily, then simply held the door like an umbrella, and rushed towards the densest part of the fire rain.

Come on.

Aren’t you going to kill me?

Dare to follow me!

He sang a tune as he ran, feeling a sense of exhilaration in his heart.

But new trouble arose.

—His hands, holding the door frame, were also at risk of being burned by the fire rain.

And the door frame was already on fire.

Once the door was burned, he would have to re-summon it.

Humans are not perpetual motion machines after all.

Damn it.

Who knows when this fire rain will end!

As Shen Ye was thinking, something at his feet nudged him.

Looking down, he saw it was the wooden log.

“Something wrong?”

Shen Ye asked.

Another line of small text appeared on the wood: “Do you remember that I can be your substitute?”

Ah, yes.

“I remember, but you’re wood. Is it too cruel to throw you into the fire rain now—I’m fine with this door,” Shen Ye said.

“Go to the stream,” another line appeared on the wood.

Shen Ye thought it over and decided to take the wood and head towards the stream.

After a short while.

He arrived at the bank of the stream.

Strangely, countless fire rains indeed fell here at the stream, but when these raindrops landed in the water, they immediately turned into pebbles and rolled to the bottom.

Another line of small text appeared on the wood:

“Give me a drop of blood, and I will become you.”

Shen Ye said, “You mean—”

“Go hide, I can take your place in the exam until you return and cancel the substitution,” the wood showed in small text.

Shen Ye shuddered.

That’s right!

Before, he was afraid it would perform terribly.

But now, everyone was covered in fire rain and dared not move, as long as it hid in the stream—

Perfect substitute!

“Brother, there won’t be a problem, right?” he asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Three large words appeared on the wood:

“No big deal!”

This divine wood is good!

Shen Ye cut his finger with a dagger and dripped a drop of blood onto the wood.

The wood shook for a while, then suddenly expanded and grew larger, transforming into his likeness.

—But it still had the texture of a wood carving.

The card vibrated slightly, and a line of small text appeared:

“You have gained the blessing of the Moonlit Divine Wood, and it is about to take the exam for you.”

Quite miraculous!

“I…water…sleep,” the wooden man spoke with a dry voice.

“Good buddy, I’m counting on you this time. I’m going to rest for a while,” Shen Ye said, holding the door with one hand and patting it with the other.

The wooden man jumped into the stream with a “plop,” sank to the bottom, rolled around, and then settled motionless in the mud and sand.

A faint glow appeared:

“Exam Ground Power: Meat shield has been transferred to the wood; you have lost this power until you return.”

Fire rain poured down all around.

He wondered how the candidates on the plains would cope with this situation.

—But that was no longer his concern.

Shen Ye looked up at the door.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t entered the nightmare world today, nor had he received any evaluation terms.

This was an opportunity to improve his strength.

He darted into the door, disappearing with the door and himself.

On the stream.

Fire rain poured down, and no trace of living beings could be seen.
