Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 102

“After all, you are the inheritor of the Moonlight lineage.”

Shen Ye’s heart pounded.

The human figurine not only knew of Frost Moon Tremor, but also the Moonlight lineage, and even which sect the Moonlight lineage needed to go to!

“Hey, Brother,” he hastily asked, “What’s the deal with the Moonlight lineage? Why are there Moonlight lineages in other worlds too?”

The human figurine suddenly fell silent.

Clang—

A sword mark appeared from head to toe, splitting it into two halves, which fell to the ground.

It was completely motionless.

Shen Ye was stunned, then sighed.

What a pity.

Some things weren’t asked before it died.

The wood slowly rolled over, coming to rest at his feet, and began to emit a faint glow.

The next second.

The water dragon in mid-air seemed to sense it, swooping down to snatch the piece of wood, and then flying back into the sky.

It began to circle the entire arena non-stop.

The Monoceros Skeleton Python also landed in front of Shen Ye, coiling into a circle, surrounding Shen Ye.

“Damn it, I didn’t help much.”

It said grudgingly.

“It’s already good. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to fight the water dragon summoned by the human figurine,” Shen Ye consoled.

The Monoceros Skeleton Python cheered up and asked, “What’s the deal with that water dragon?”

“I don’t know—look, that wood seems to be drawing power from the void,” Shen Ye said.

Both man and python looked up simultaneously.

They saw an endless stream of water emerging from the void, all pouring into the wood.

Green leaves suddenly sprouted from the wood.

It became more vibrant!

The water dragon, holding the wood in its mouth, soared, and its body gradually grew lifelike fur, scales, flesh, claws, and eyeballs.

Clouds clung to its surroundings.

It was transforming into a living, breathing dragon!

“Hey, it’s not going to come back for another fight, is it?” the Monoceros Skeleton Serpent said with some trepidation.

Shen Ye was also a little unsure, musing, “Probably not. The human figurine just finished analyzing all the schools for me. It doesn’t seem like it’s going to fight again.”

The void flashed.

A black stone tablet suddenly appeared above the arena.

Zhao Yibing stood on the black stone tablet, looking at Shen Ye with a strange expression, then at the water dragon circling above the arena.

Skinner lay prostrate at her feet.

Who knew that the water dragon immediately looked at her, and a long dragon’s roar erupted from its mouth.

“…What a hateful creature.”

Zhao Yibing frowned.

Shen Ye immediately said, “Hey, I won the bet.”

“That’s right—but you should know that you were actually set up, weren’t you?” Zhao Yibing said.

Shen Ye fell silent.

Apparently, he couldn’t deny this.

Zhao Yibing was still looking at the flying dragon, and the flying dragon was staring intently at her.

At one point.

Zhao Yibing seemed to have made a decision.

“Alright,” she said with an extremely reluctant tone, “You won this round, I won’t bother you today.”

“As a reward, I’ll tell you something, Shen Ye.”

She finally stopped looking at the flying dragon and cast her gaze upon Shen Ye:

“I recently came to your world and learned this secret. Now I’m sharing it with you.”

“—Your world is over.”

“Shen Ye, join me. When the world is destroyed, I will protect your soul and save you from harm.”

Shen Ye said, “I don’t know if what you’re saying is true or false, I only know one thing—I won the bet.”

Zhao Yibing sighed, shaking her head, “It seems you don’t understand, everything I said is true.”

“Then farewell, Shen Ye.”

“—I will come back to gamble with you again.”

“I won’t gamble with you again,” Shen Ye said immediately.

Zhao Yibing looked at him.

Shen Ye shrugged and said, “Unless you force me.”

“Deities never force mortals—what forces mortals is their own choices,” Zhao Yibing said.

“You won’t force me? Good, then I really won’t gamble with you again.” Shen Ye said.

Zhao Yibing smiled, her red lips parting to utter two words:

“The list.”

Shen Ye looked at her in confusion.

Skinner interjected, “All traces have been wiped clean, except for the two parties involved.”

“What are you talking about?” Shen Ye was perplexed.

“I received a mission to kill you, then I killed your friend, killed Xiao Mengyu’s brother, and tens of thousands of people in that district were all killed by me—this was permitted by those on the list,” Skinner said.

“Someone on the list lured Zhao Yibing, so Zhao Yibing died too,” Zhao Yibing said, touching her smooth, pale neck.

—That cut had long since vanished without a trace.

But the real young girl was no longer there.

Standing here was the Lord of the Weeping Demon Prison.

“We are the butcher’s knife, but I guess you’re more interested in those who wield the butcher’s knife,” Skinner said.

“That list is in my hands, you know,” Zhao Yibing said, propping her chin on her hand, looking at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye’s aura changed instantly.

“Heh.”

He chuckled, saying:

“Deities never force mortals—what forces mortals is their own choices.”

These were Zhao Yibing’s words.

However, at this moment, he repeated this sentence again.

Zhao Yibing listened quietly, and said softly:

“Want to get the list? Gamble with me again, and you’ll have a chance to get it.”

“Of course, the choice is yours—you can completely forget about the deaths of those people before, you don’t have to take this risk, just live your own peaceful life.”

“So, will you gamble or not?”

“How do you want to gamble?” Shen Ye asked.

“Then, our next gamble, you and I, will be this—” Zhao Yibing said.

She placed her foot on Skinner’s head, signaling Shen Ye with her eyes:

“As a deity, my bets are often fairer than yours, so in the near future, my servant will come for you.”

“—You two fight.”

“If you win, the list will be handed over to you.”

“But if you accidentally lose to my servant, your soul will belong to me.”

“Do you dare to play this game?”

Shen Ye’s gaze fell on Skinner.

Skinner also stared at him, as if looking at a fresh ingredient.

“Then let’s play a game, remember your chips are that list,” Shen Ye said.

Zhao Yibing smiled alluringly.

“Deal!”

As her words fell.

Lines of faint glowing text immediately appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“This bet is a spell formed by the opponent’s fundamental divine power. You were originally unable to resist or refuse, and could only proceed according to the bet’s content.”

“However, you have already won one game, and your bargaining chip is ‘being let go’. Therefore, the Lord of the Demon Prison must obtain your consent before establishing another bet.”

“The content of the new bet is as follows:”

“Seven days later, you will have a duel with Skinner.”

“If you win, Skinner will hand over the list of people who hired him to kill you.”

“If you lose, your soul will belong to the Lord of the Weeping Demon Prison.”

“This bet has been acknowledged by you and the Lord of the Weeping Demon Prison.”

“The bet is established!”

“—Starting from the most insignificant little chips, until you sell your soul, this is her way of doing things.”

The void flashed.

Shen Ye found seven scarlet vertical lines appeared on his palm.

One vertical line represented one day.

Seven days later.

Single combat to decide the winner.

“I look forward to that day. Farewell.”

Zhao Yibing was satisfied, and she, along with the stone tablet, disappeared from Shen Ye’s sight.

The water dragon immediately descended.

Its entire body exuded a majestic aura that Shen Ye had never felt before. Dense runes continuously appeared in the surrounding void, flickering in and out of existence, emitting dazzling brilliance.

“She wouldn’t dare to touch you here.”

The water dragon spoke in human language, “You have passed the trial, and the blessing of the pháp giới has descended. If she were to forcefully do anything after losing the bet, she would undoubtedly face the full force of the entire world.”

“The full force of the entire world… what does that mean?” Shen Ye asked.

“You will understand in time. For now, let’s complete the ritual,” the water dragon said.

Shen Ye sighed inwardly.

Actually, the water dragon couldn’t protect itself.

After all, it was clearly activated due to a special circumstance and could only function here.

And he was well aware of one thing.

If a psychologically disturbed human discovered that they couldn’t take away a toy they were interested in—

What would they do to that toy?

Moreover, the other party was a demon god!

The demon god residing in Zhao Yibing possessed such evaluative traits. If he were to step outside the scope of the “bet,” then it wouldn’t need to abide by the rules of the “bet” anymore.

Even its servant, “Skinner,” was probably not that easy to deal with, let alone its true form?

With its strength, if it wanted to deal with him by unscrupulous means…

Then his best option would be to stall for time and then look for an opportunity to counterattack.

…

On the other side.

Xiao Mengyu stood in the main hall, looking at the joyful expressions of the surrounding examinees, her expression somewhat bewildered.

This isn’t right.

He…

With his strength, could he really fail this exam?

Xiao Mengyu thought for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed an examinee, asking, “Have you seen Shen Ye?”

“No,” the examinee said.

Xiao Mengyu released him and then asked several other examinees, all of whom gave the same answer.

She suddenly saw Guo Yunye and Zhang Xiaoyi in the crowd.

“Have you seen Shen Ye?”

Both of them shook their heads, their faces full of astonishment.

“No way, Shen Ye is clearly very strong, how could he not have come out?” Zhang Xiaoyi couldn’t help but ask.

A voice suddenly rang out:

“No need to look for him.”

Xiao Mengyu turned her head and saw it was one of the scions from the previous banquet.

Not just him.

Several scions slowly walked up to Xiao Mengyu, their faces showing an inexplicable expression.

“Have you seen him?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“He’s been eliminated,” a scion said with a sneer, “Talking so eloquently, but in the end, he couldn’t even get past the threshold of the three major academies. Tsk tsk, how laughable.”

Xiao Mengyu was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Xiaoyi’s face was full of anger, but he also couldn’t say a word.

“What right do you have to mock him?” Guo Yunye retorted directly.

A scion waved his hand and pointed to himself, saying, “I won, do you understand? I’m the one who’s going to the three major high schools, he’s been eliminated—that’s my right to mock him.”

On the high platform.

The leading judge from Gallan Academy stood up and announced loudly:

“I now declare that the results of this tri-school joint exam are out. Students whose names are called, please come to me and prepare to enter Gallan Academy.”

“Wait a minute!” Xiao Mengyu suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked at her.

“Shen Ye hasn’t come out yet, there must be something wrong,” she said seriously.

Several scions burst into laughter.

Others also talked amongst themselves.

The judge from Gallan Academy looked at her with a meaningful expression and slowly said:

“Xiao Mengyu, you have always been excellent. Gallan Academy welcomes you, but—”

“I hope your intelligence can match your strength.”

“This is both advice and a warning.”

Someone laughed loudly and said, “Do you really think this worldwide exam is specially designed for that big-mouthed person? She’s gone crazy!”

“Everyone, the first place is a lunatic!”

The crowd’s murmuring grew louder.

Suddenly.

Another voice rang out:

“I’ve seen Shen Ye.”

Hope bloomed in Xiao Mengyu’s eyes, and she immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

The one who spoke was Nangong Sirui!

Nangong Sirui stepped forward, bowed to the high platform, and said, “Three judges, I have something to report.”

“Speak,” the Gallan judge said, looking at him kindly.

“During the final assessment, I saw Shen Ye…”

Nangong Sirui recounted what he had seen.

“Therefore, I can clearly see with my clairvoyant eyes that the entity that infiltrated among the examinees must be some kind of calamity.”

“Its target is Shen Ye!”

Calamity.

As this word came out, a magnificent voice suddenly echoed throughout the venue:

“Activate response sequence.”

“Please everyone stand still.”

—It’s Kunlun!
