Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 248

“Final step: The Name of a True Immortal.”

“Description: You have obtained the sacred artifact of the Hun Tian Sect and absorbed enough primordial energy from the planets. When all your attributes reach 20 points, you can proceed with this step.”

“Quest Objective: Provide a prefix ‘term’ for your ‘True Immortal’ entry. The prefix ‘term’ must come from your existing ‘terms’.”

“—Prefix ‘term’ + ‘True Immortal’ will be your brand new mythical term!”

Prefix!

Shen Ye ran while quickly thinking about which term to use.

The person who skipped out on a meal…

No.

His first serious, cool, magnificent, and awesome mythical term couldn’t possibly be “The True Immortal who Skipped Out on a Meal”!

That would be too lame.

After all, his teacher and many masters could see his name.

Regarding his name—

The teacher subtly said his head was “lively,” the white-haired old Taoist of the sect eagerly advised him to be “more generous,” and even Nine Aspects expressed his attitude, disdainfully calling it “ridiculous.”

Could it be that even his mythical terms had to be in this style?

No!

It had to be serious!

So “Diva True Immortal” was definitely out.

“Matchstick Selling True Immortal”?

“True Immortal Who Escaped Death”?

Or perhaps—

“Vampire True Immortal”?

It couldn’t be “Playful True Immortal,” could it?

At this moment.

Shen Ye was confused.

However, the most urgent matter at hand was not obtaining the True Immortal term.

It was to quickly complete the promotion to the unknown profession of “Lifeless Soul Master”!

Now, having all attributes at “20” points would not send him to that planet anymore!

Shen Ye swiftly allocated 15.1 free attribute points to the five major attributes.

—But it’s not enough!

All his five major attributes were at 19.

15 divided by 5 equals 3.

Each attribute gets 3 points.

That would be 19+3=22.

All attributes must be 23 to be promoted to “Lifeless Soul Master”!

There’s no other way.

It seems he must absorb a term.

Absorbing an ordinary term would be useless; it wouldn’t grant 5 attribute points.

Shen Ye checked the time.

Last two minutes.

—He had to make a choice!

He closed his eyes slightly and considered carefully.

From the current situation, he went to the nightmare or hell world almost every day.

But this term required him to not go for several days to accumulate a higher chance of obtaining a higher term!

Moreover, only it was a purple term, absorbing one would be enough.

While “Fun Seeker” was a dark golden term, both “Rabbit Dance” and “Night Feast Frolic” were extremely useful combat methods.

Though a bit regrettable, he could only absorb “The Little Match Girl” now!

Shen Ye finally made a decision.

“Absorb ‘The Little Match Girl’.”

Lines of small text immediately appeared:

“Congratulations.”

“The purple (one in ten thousand) term has been fully absorbed.”

“A part of this term was absorbed by ‘The Door’ to activate the second ability of ‘Star Shift,’ and another part was converted into free attribute points.”

“You have gained 9 free attribute points.”

“Current total free attribute points: 24.1.”

Shen Ye immediately allocated the excess free attribute points to the five major attributes.

Now all attributes reached 23.

He could be promoted!

“Promote to ‘Lifeless Soul Master’.” Shen Ye said.

In an instant.

The vast and boundless cosmos seemed to rush over.

Billions of starlight gathered into countless dense, glowing lines.

These lines rapidly wove together, outlining facial features and forming a human face.

—Shen Ye’s face!

All the lines suddenly pulled outward, scattering completely.

Thus, the human face also disappeared.

But those lines began to re-interweave and cross in the universe, forming a featureless glowing humanoid.

This humanoid, entirely constructed from threads of light, slowly turned its head and looked at Shen Ye.

It seemed to be waiting, or perhaps inviting.

A never-before-felt epiphany surged in Shen Ye’s heart.

Lifeless Soul Master…

This profession actually belonged to a “deep” profession.

In other words, from the worldview of the “Human Face Planet,” although the Dharma Realm was vast and boundless, the power in different parts of the Dharma Realm was not the same.

The Dharma Realm was like the ocean.

Those common professions were merely manifestations of power floating on the surface of the sea, or condensed in shallow waters.

Truly powerful professions must be in the deep parts of the ocean, or even at the bottom of the abyssal trench.

In such places, infinite primordial energy of the Dharma Realm gathered,經過 long ages of refinement, finally formed rare, powerful, and unparalleled professions.

“Lifeless Soul Master” was such a profession.

It only allowed two beings to be promoted, and the power of this profession had two directions.

One direction was “Life Soul Master”;

The other, was “Lifeless Master”.

Shen Ye couldn’t see the future of these two directions, nor could he tell how powerful they were.

But as he looked into the universal humanoid formed by interwoven light, he discovered a secret.

When he pondered “Life Soul Master,” the universal humanoid glowed all over, and countless human heads appeared in the darkness.

Shen Ye immediately understood the meaning of this scene—

Each human head represented a powerful profession.

“Life Soul Master” was the master of all professions!

In order to be promoted to other powerful professions, it could generate one exclusive humanoid after another!

In this way, a being whose profession was “Life Soul Master” could simultaneously hold countless professions, fighting against tens of thousands!

Shen Ye’s mind suddenly cleared, and he instantly understood Nine Aspects.

It was truly too powerful—

Nine Aspects’ profession was probably “Life Soul Master,” and all of them were biased towards evil and killing professions.

Each skull on his back was a specialized profession!

So, what about the other professional path?

Shen Ye silently recited “Lifeless Master” in his heart.

The universal humanoid immediately solidified, became smaller, and finally descended towards a planet.

On that planet, a person identical to Shen Ye, holding a bow and arrow, was fighting.

The universal humanoid dispersed, transforming into infinite light that surrounded Shen Ye.

All the light permeated his body, falling onto the ground and transforming into a mirror.

In the mirror—

Another Shen Ye held a bow and arrow, making the same shooting motion.

However, his eyes were completely different.

The next moment.

In the mirror on the ground, everything was enveloped and bound by light, forming a cocoon.

Above the ground.

All the dispersed power was silently absorbed by this cocoon.

—It was continuously growing.

Shen Ye’s heart trembled.

“Lifeless Master” was even stranger than “Life Soul Master”!

It was as if it didn’t exist, quietly acting on the person who held this profession, causing an incomprehensible transformation deep within their soul—

This was completely different!

In contrast, “Life Soul Master” could create countless powerful professions to serve themselves.

“Lifeless Master” could only produce an unknown, mysterious, and incomprehensible transformation on the basis of existing professions.

Nine Aspects didn’t choose this one!

But Shen Ye was willing to choose “Lifeless Master.”

Not for anything else—

Just to live as a normal person.

Fei Lun, when eating Qu Ru, even gave up on eating two heads.

It was afraid of growing other heads.

It was already annoying enough.

—He absolutely didn’t want to be like Nine Aspects, carrying dozens of skulls on his back, or even having human heads all over the sky.

How would he live like that!

Playing a game, dozens of heads watching from the side, giving advice, cursing, cracking melon seeds, snoring, singing, chatting.

Is that fun?

And you can’t even think about killing them.

—They want to kill you!

“I choose ‘Lifeless Master’.”

Shen Ye silently chanted in his heart.

In an instant.

Darkness completely enveloped him.

All the previous scenes disappeared.

Shen Ye found himself standing in the boundless universe.

The universal humanoid grew two gigantic light wings on its back, gently flapping as it flew towards him.

It landed in front of Shen Ye, embracing him with the light wings on its back.

The universal humanoid dispersed into blazing and powerful threads of primordial Dharma Realm energy, each flowing into Shen Ye’s glabella.

In a flash.

All anomalies vanished.

Shen Ye found himself still standing by the dark underground river, his body even maintaining the posture of running forward.

“…How long have I been frozen here?” he asked.

“Frozen? No, you just got here—run fast, one of those people is about to catch up!” The Great Skeleton urged.

Shen Ye then continued to move forward.

He had become a “Lifeless Master”…

So, he should have gained his first professional skill.

As he thought this, lines of faint text appeared in the void:

“Congratulations.”

“You have been promoted to ‘Lifeless Master’.”

“You have gained the inherent effect of this profession, ‘Naturally Unrivaled.’ All ‘Names’ and professions are concealed and hidden, invisible to spiritual sight; unless you voluntarily release your ‘Name’ for others to observe.”

This is good!

Nine Aspects had this power, which is why he could never see Nine Aspects’ “Name.”

More small text appeared:

“You have lost ‘Life Soul Master”s skill: Embryonic Treasury of Emptiness.”

“You have gained ‘Lifeless Master”s professional skill:”

“Self in the Mirror.”

“Skill description: You are reversed with all things.”

“Special additional power: You can exist in all mirrors.”

Shen Ye’s mouth twitched.

—This skill description is too perfunctory!

Fortunately, he already had an epiphany in his heart and knew what this skill truly meant.

He finally obtained this extremely rare profession!

He was delighted when he saw another prompt popping up:

“Due to your all attributes reaching 23 points, and allowing the Door to absorb the term, your Door ability, ‘Star Shift,’ has been fully activated.”

“Effect 1: Mark two new teleportation points, cancel and re-mark at any time (activated);”

“Effect 2: Connect to the nearest new world and establish a ‘Door’ within it (activated).”

What a huge harvest!

This Effect 2 was finally activated!

Shen Ye eagerly chanted “Door” silently and activated “Star Shift.”

A door immediately appeared before him.

New world!

Here I come!

Shen Ye pushed the door and entered.

He suddenly froze.

Inside the door, the space was very narrow, only about twenty square meters.

A panda sat on a toilet, holding toilet paper, smoking a cigarette, and staring at him.

“Damn it, I’m using the toilet! Get out!”

The panda suddenly roared.

“Ah, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!” Shen Ye quickly apologized.

He exited the door and quickly closed it.

—Wait a minute!

You’re a panda, why are you sitting on a toilet?
