Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 629

Five people.

The fat ugly woman in front.

The other four behind.

How to fight?

What really bothered her was what kind of strength she should show.

If her strength was too weak, it would be difficult to get by in the future.

But too strong was also not good.

She would easily be assigned difficult tasks and attract various attention.

Tsk.

Jiu’s hair fluttered in the air, a hint of hesitation flashed across her peerless beautiful face.

It was this hint of hesitation that the other party caught.

“You dare to hit me?”

“You’re dead! You’re going to be finished, you little bitch!”

The fat ugly woman shrieked.

Jiu furrowed her brows, her body making a decision before her mind could.

Slap!

A crisp sound.

One side of the fat ugly woman’s face swelled up.

Jiu spun in the air, kicking several times in quick succession, sending the opponent flying into the wall of the building, where she was embedded and unable to move.

A rush of wind came from behind.

—An ambush!

Jiu sneered, then spun around and raised her hand, blocking the continuous attacks of the two ambushers.

“Kill her! I’ll take responsibility!”

The fat ugly woman shrieked frantically.

The other two followed suit.

Four against one.

Lines of glowing text suddenly appeared before Jiu’s eyes:

“You have activated ‘Passionate Comrade’ and begun to exchange abilities with Xu Xingke.”

“You have exchanged your ‘Alluring Charm’ for Xu Xingke’s ‘Mountain River Saint Emperor Fist’.”

“Exchange successful!”

Jiu’s hand was like a blade, casually parrying the four people’s attacks, while her other hand clenched into a fist, striking out like lightning.

Thump thump thump thump—

Four consecutive sounds!

The four people were sent flying, landing on the ground.

Jiu then turned around, dug the fat ugly woman out of the wall, and punched her repeatedly.

Even when the other party’s vicious curses turned into wails for mercy—

She didn’t stop.

Until the law enforcement team arrived at the scene.

In front of everyone, she reluctantly stomped on the other party’s face with her foot before being pulled away by several law enforcers.

An hour later.

Jiu was put in solitary confinement.

Logically speaking—

Solitary confinement was something that only happened in prison.

Jiu couldn’t imagine that the Myriad Worlds Survival Society would have such a punishment as solitary confinement.

At this moment.

Her location was the basement of the Myriad Worlds Survival Society’s office building.

—There was nothing there.

Generally speaking, there would be no such thing as “solitary confinement.”

As long as the staff involved in a dispute paid a certain amount of Survival Society credit points as a fine, they could avoid punishment.

Or if an elder from their family came to negotiate and signed a guarantee.

Further punishment could also be avoided.

But—

This was Jiu’s first day at work, and she hadn’t earned any credit points yet.

Jie also seemed to be busy and out of the card’s call range.

So Jiu had to accept the punishment.

Originally, she was still arguing, and the law enforcement team, out of respect for the Saint Jie, was willing to let her off lightly—

But the few people who fought with her were seriously injured.

The fat ugly woman seemed to have almost died.

The medical expenses were very high.

“As long as you are willing to pay for their treatment, your punishment can be mitigated.”

“—You can also owe it. Write an IOU, and the Survival Society will pay for their treatment first.”

The leader of the law enforcement team said in a gentle tone.

Jiu thought for a moment.

—No, treating enemies like this does not fit the style of our Split Bee race.

Let’s just go with solitary confinement.

Finally, the matter was settled.

At this moment.

She leaned against the wall, bored, yawning while waiting for the long time to pass.

The confinement room was about twenty square meters.

The four walls were extremely thick, engraved with runes for solidity, magic resistance, anti-corrosion, moisture-proofing, and elemental resistance.

The confinement period was about three days.

—Actually, three days would pass quickly.

Jiu was in no hurry to leave.

At least it was safe here.

“Do you want to rest? We have beds, quilts, and food prepared.”

Chatelet’s voice sounded.

“No, I’m contemplating the method of becoming a Saint,” Jiu said.

Becoming a Saint was indeed the most crucial matter at the moment.

Chatelet then stopped disturbing her.

Jiu closed her eyes and began to silently comprehend the method taught by “King.”

One moment she smiled, the next she frowned, then she patted her forehead, and another moment she gesticulated wildly.

—Like a madwoman.

But none of the creations disturbed him.

That method of becoming a Saint was truly eye-opening and profoundly abstruse, so it was actually a good thing for him to be immersed in it like this.

Swoosh—

A sound echoed.

The door to the confinement room opened.

“Tsk!”

Chatelet, Susu, Boat of Chaos, Cassandra, and Uncle Qi exclaimed in unison.

No matter who came—

This interrupted Jiu’s meditation, forcing her to exit that state.

If it were anywhere else, Chatelet and the others would have appeared to stop it.

But this was the Myriad Worlds Survival Society.

If they appeared, it would easily expose Jiu’s true identity!

So they could only watch as the door was slowly pulled open.

Jiu naturally also recovered and looked towards the doorway.

She saw a muscular man walk in and silently look at her.

“As far as I know, no one is allowed to enter the confinement room during confinement.”

Jiu spoke.

“Rules are dead, people are alive,” the man chuckled.

Not bad.

He’s mastered human language quite well.

“Then why are you looking at me? Haven’t you seen a beautiful woman before?”

Jiu pouted, asking with a cute face.

—Having her cultivation interrupted was really annoying!

“Are you Jiu of the Split Bee Tribe? How dare you offend Princess Xiaohua?”

The man asked with a serious expression.

Jiu sneered, then slowly said:

“Didn’t you see me? Why are you still asking for my identity? Perhaps your mother didn’t have eyes, which is why she gave birth to someone like you without eyes?”

Chatelet, Susu, and Cassandra all covered their mouths at the same time.

“Fight!”

Chaos Boat whispered.

“He hasn’t eaten yet, does he have the strength to fight?” Uncle Qi said worriedly.

The man opposite remained silent for a moment, then spoke again:

“All of you Split Bee clan are like this, but you don’t know that the strong ones in your clan have ceased to exist.”

“Except for Lord Jie, your clan hasn’t produced any strong individuals for too long.”

“So you don’t know—”

“Princess Xiaohua has connections with the younger generation of all our races, and you have unwisely placed yourself against her.”

“From the moment you attacked, you have been isolated.”

“What do you want to say?” Jiu asked impatiently.

“Go apologize to Princess Xiaohua and let her do as she pleases. That way, you might still live.”

“Otherwise, will you kill me?” Jiu asked pitifully.

“I will kill you.”

A cold glint flashed.

A head was severed, falling softly to the ground.

The headless body swayed a few times, still standing there motionless.

Jiu casually flexed her fair, slender fingers.

That strike just now was a blade light cut out with her fingers, severing the opponent’s head.

Effortlessly.

“The younger generation…”

“I’m also part of the younger generation, how come I haven’t seen you on the battlefield?”

Jiu asked softly.

The door of the confinement room was open, and the guards outside noticed something was wrong, sticking their heads in to look.

They only saw a peerlessly beautiful woman sitting cross-legged, propping her chin with her hand, asking the headless figure on the ground with a curious expression.

It’s over.

This thought surfaced in everyone’s minds.

The piercing alarm then sounded—

After about two hours of trouble.

Jiu was sent back to the confinement room, still in solitary confinement.

The matter became even more sensational.

Almost everyone was discussing it.

However.

The fault was indeed with the other party.

—The confinement room, of course, was not allowed to be entered or exited at will.

And it was certainly not allowed for someone to specifically threaten a staff member under punishment with their life in the confinement room.

In fact.

When the man, guided by Jiu, said, “I will kill you,” he no longer had any moral high ground.

The law enforcement officers guarding the confinement room also received severe punishment.

The Saint responsible for judging this matter was somewhat speechless.

“Why do you have to provoke the Split Bee clan? They’re all like this, don’t you have brains?”

—This was the Saint’s final comment.

The matter settled for the time being.

No one knew how many undercurrents were surging beneath the calm surface.

—But Jiu didn’t care.

She yawned, leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and began to contemplate the method of becoming a Saint once more.

Just as she was gradually entering the state—

A slight fluctuation startled her again.

“Damn it… I should have left a clone outside.”

Jiu painfully ended her cultivation and instead took out a card.

A card from Jie.

—Has this Saint returned?

Jiu sighed and had no choice but to activate the card and accept the call from the other side.

However.

What echoed on the other side was a female voice:

“Excuse me, is this Ms. Jiu of the Split Bee Tribe?”

“Ah, it’s me,” Jiu said.

“There’s a will here, and I need to formally announce it—”

“All of Lord Jie’s belongings are left to you, along with a message.”

“The message is:”

“Do not pursue external things, live well. This is the life your family wishes for you.”

Jiu was stunned for a moment, then asked, “How old was Lord Jie? He’s already made a will?”

“He died in battle,” the female voice on the other side said.

Jiu was stunned again.

Dead.

How could this be?

The power of a Saint was still very strong.

—As long as they didn’t provoke “King” and that monster in the World of Truth, they generally wouldn’t die!

“How did he die?”

Jiu asked.

“This is confidential, you have no right to know, but you will inherit his legacy, which will be sent directly to you shortly.”

“This call has ended.”

“—Oh, by the way, this card is about to be destroyed, and you won’t be able to use it anymore.”

The words fell.

The card in Jiu’s hand turned into shredded paper, scattered on the ground.

The confinement room returned to silence.

Jiu was silent for a few breaths, scratched her head, and had to start thinking about her next move.

“No time to lose, let’s sneak away quickly.”

Chaos Boat said quickly.

“But where to go?” Jiu asked.

“Go to—”

Chaos Boat’s voice cut off.

Yeah.

The World of Truth was impossible to return to.

—The battle between “King” and the monster continued, and the aftershocks alone could kill large numbers of Saints.

The world barrier was broken.

The Eternal World must have been affected as well.

Saints were looking for a new “dream” King everywhere.

She had finally obtained a clear identity, and if she left now, it might immediately attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

If she were surrounded by Saints—

Then she could only use the higher-dimensional Saint Ladder to go directly to the Other Shore to have a chance of survival.

But was the Other Shore a good retreat?

Absolutely not.

So.

Maintaining this identity was the most important thing!

This was a retreat painstakingly arranged by the radical Saints!

“We’ll continue with solitary confinement, it’s fine.”

Jiu said calmly.

Suddenly.

She felt something and used her spiritual power to look into her Dharma body.

She saw the rule blade hidden within her Dharma body emit a slight hum.

What’s going on?!

Jiu entwined her spiritual power around the long blade, and suddenly sensed the thirty-six ancient laws on the blade converging to form a faint voice:

“Lend me a hand…”

Jiu’s hairs stood on end.

This was “King”‘s voice!

It was communicating with her through this blade!

“What’s the situation?”

Jiu asked in a low voice.

“King”‘s voice resounded from the long blade again:

“Three thousand layers of Aetheric Curse… I can’t handle it…”

Jiu couldn’t help but fall silent.

You can’t handle it.

How can I?

Let alone three thousand layers of Aether, even one layer, I would only dare to walk around it.

Who knew “King” would continue:

“You have a power that can draw out elements. As long as you help me draw out one layer of ‘curse’ type aether, I will have a way to deal with the remaining two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of Aetheric Curse.”

“But… I’m a long way away, and my identity needs to be kept secret,” Jiu hesitated.

“Don’t worry, you just need to focus on drawing out the curse. Leave everything else to me. I guarantee that there will be no problems on your end.”

“King” made a promise.

Before Jiu could react, a sudden wave of drowsiness came over her.

She couldn’t help but yawn, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The moment she fell into slumber.

Lines of glowing text suddenly appeared in the void:

“You are the Lord of Dreams.”

“‘King’ has opened its dream, preparing to merge with your dream.”

“Current merger successful!”

In an instant.

Jiu saw “King” in her dream.

It was covered in wounds, yet showed no sign of defeat, even appearing somewhat excited.

“This is how it beat me.”

“—You are my ally, help me, or I will die.”

“King” spoke.

Given the circumstances.

Jiu sighed and activated the epithet “Mandala-Ouroboros,” starting to search for that cursed element on the other party.

Fortunately, she was skilled at this kind of thing.

Soon.

A peculiar curse element was extracted.

“Thanks—I can handle the rest myself. Is there anything you need me to do?”

“King” asked.

Jiu looked at the cursed element, feeling it was extremely troublesome.

A line of glowing text remained before her eyes:

“This is power from the Other Shore. With your current epithet, you cannot transform it; you can only fuse it.”

—This thing seemed to exceed the upper limit of what she could transform.

It couldn’t be transformed into other elements!

Jiu raised her hand, suspending the curse, and said:

“This thing, I can’t transform it, I need to figure out how to throw it away.”

“King” glanced at it, then chuckled:

“Easy to handle—helping you is also helping myself.”

It waved its hand, and the rule blade flew over, grasped by it.

“King” carved a twisted rune onto the long blade with its bare hand, and said:

“That’s it.”

“After you go back, just say ‘curse dissipate,’ and the power on the long blade can then fling it away.”

“—Your situation seems quite complex too.”

“So I added a triple rune for concealment, teleportation, and guardianship. No one will notice when it’s flung away.”

“And you will be immune to curse attacks.”

“I’ll go fight it again, talk later!”

The words fell.

Jiu suddenly opened her eyes.

She found herself still sitting in the confinement room of the Myriad Worlds Survival Society building.

No one had noticed what happened there.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!

“King”‘s methods were truly unfathomable!

So now—

Jiu’s thoughts stirred, and the long blade and the curse hidden within her Dharma body were both guided by her will, beginning to activate.

“What are you going to do?” Chatelet asked.

“My backing is gone, but its legacy will be in my hands, so my days ahead are likely to be tough,” Shen Ye said.

“Do you need me to investigate?” Susu asked.

“No need to investigate—this is almost certainly going to happen. I suspect that up in the building, someone is already planning to eliminate me, this orphan, and seize the Saint’s legacy.”

Jiu said with a calm expression.

The great creations fell silent simultaneously.

It wasn’t that they doubted Jiu’s judgment—

On the contrary.

They felt that Jiu’s judgment was perfectly sound.

“So—let this world be deluged?”

Chaos Boat’s tone carried a hint of excitement.

Jiu didn’t respond.

She just silently recited in her heart—

“Curse dissipate.”

The next moment.

The long blade automatically erupted with a fierce blade light, striking the cluster of curses.

The curse instantly vanished without a trace.

At the same time.

On the building of the Myriad Worlds Survival Society.

In a certain office.

An old man with a kind and benevolent appearance stood before Princess Xiaohua, patting her shoulder and smiling:

“It’s just a small matter, not worth crying over.”

“I don’t care, Grandpa, you have to kill that damn guy for me!” Princess Xiaohua cried uncontrollably.

“Don’t worry, Jie is dead. As for that descendant of the Split Bee Tribe—we’ve investigated, she is indeed from the Split Bee Tribe, so we can’t openly make a move.”

“But don’t worry, many people probably want to kill her. Just wait and watch the show.”

The old man consoled her.

“No!” Princess Xiaohua screamed, “I want to kill her myself!”

“Grandpa—you must help me this time. She slapped me in front of everyone! The brothers who stood up for me also suffered. I want her dead!”

The old man was silent for a moment, then sighed:

“I’ve already made arrangements.”

“Grandpa?” Princess Xiaohua looked at the old man, overjoyed.

The old man nodded, saying:

“It’s simple. When her confinement ends—”

His voice suddenly stopped, and he abruptly stood up, rushing to the window to look outside.

Outside the window.

A towering, dark figure appeared outside the Myriad Worlds Survival Society building.
