Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 147

The void rippled.

Four orcs appeared in the four corners of the room.

“What exactly do you want?” Shen Ye couldn’t help but ask.

The four orcs simultaneously formed a seal with their hands. The one in the lead replied:

“The Chieftain is eager for talent. A songstress as talented as you should serve the Orc race!”

“Wait a minute—” Shen Ye shouted.

Rays of light surged around him, converging into a line of runes and incantations, which struck Shen Ye with a “whoosh”.

“It’s the Chieftain’s artifact! No time!” Big Skeleton quickly said.

Before he finished speaking.

Whoosh—

Shen Ye was pulled by a tremendous force, crashing through the wall and soaring into the sky.

He flew in one direction at an extremely high speed.

“Mission accomplished! Quick! Get out of the city!”

“Go!”

The orcs shouted loudly.

On the other side.

Still the nightmare world.

At the junction of grassland and desert.

A majestic city.

A dark shadow appeared in the sky.

Shen Ye!

That power pulled him, like lightning, across the vast land, dragging him here in an instant.

“Ah ah ah ah ah—”

He fell, slowing down, appearing on the city wall of this grand city, standing in the center of the wide observation deck.

“Welcome,” someone said.

Shen Ye, with his hair blown into a bird’s nest by the cold wind at high altitude and covered in ice shards, first observed the surroundings.

Outside the city.

Various catapults, siege towers, and battering rams were placed directly on the ground.

Dense rows of chariots were neatly arranged.

In the mining pits further away, orc laborers pushed heavy mining carts one by one, shouting chants.

The sound of blacksmithing was incessant.

Fires blazed into the sky.

On the training ground in the city, orc soldiers were practicing battle formations and assassinations, letting out roars.

Military discipline was strict.

“How do you like my army?”

A voice sounded.

Shen Ye turned to look. On a throne behind the observation deck sat an orc fully clad in armor.

Orc shamans, generals, and cavalry commanders all surrounded him.

“This is the Great Chieftain of the Orc race. Be careful, among the four races, he has a reputation for brutality,” Big Skeleton reminded him.

“Quite powerful, Chieftain,” Shen Ye said.

“My army is strictly disciplined, powerfully combative, and well-equipped, capable of confronting even the gods of ancient times!” The Chieftain’s voice was full of pride.

“How does it feel to receive my invitation?” he asked again.

“—The speed was simply too fast. I flew here in a few seconds. It’s a bit cold.” Shen Ye told the truth.

The fully armored Chieftain wore a black iron mask, making it impossible to discern his emotions, and his tone was remarkably calm:

“I have already witnessed your performance in the dimension.”

“Baxter, you truly have great talent. You should serve our great Orc race, instead of wasting your life under the undead.”

His tone carried a hint of mockery:

“You undead don’t even have a monarch, you’re a scattered mess. How can you still stand on this land and be called a nation?”

“Those skeletons should all be my slaves—”

“Their destiny is 007.”

007.

From midnight to midnight, seven days a week, non-stop work.

Shen Ye fell silent, then suddenly laughed.

This Orc Chieftain actually implemented 996, and his ideal was 007—

Was he a capitalist from Blue Star in his previous life?

“Lord Chieftain, I mean no offense, but why did you think of

changing the orcs starting with 996?”

Shen Ye asked.

“This is a war of words between humans and the undead. They both accuse each other of implementing 996, so I became curious and conducted a detailed investigation.”

The Orc Great Chieftain continued, “After in-depth understanding, I found that 996 is indeed a good idea.”

“Anyway, the lower-level soldiers of our Orc race don’t matter much. It doesn’t matter how many die, but using 996 can change the combat power of our entire race!”

“I wonder who thought of this brilliant idea—”

“To be honest, I really want to thank him properly!”

Shen Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Sweating profusely.

—So, after I spread the news about 996, the other races were busy blaming each other, but the Orc race took it as a true teaching?

Can I be blamed for this?

I guess not!

“Baxter, look,” the Great Chieftain said.

Shen Ye followed his gaze and saw several undead tied up in the training ground, who were directly hacked into minced meat by fully armed orcs.

The orc soldiers…

Their weapons and armor glittered.

Regardless of their actual strength, just this set of equipment was formidable.

—Made with 996.

“See? My soldiers are brave and fearless, their armor and weapons are top-notch. Once on the battlefield, no race on the continent can be my match.”

“So you should be grateful—”

“You’ve already sided with the victors.”

“—Go, Baxter, report to the song and dance troupe, and start working for me immediately.”

“Work hard, and I won’t treat you unfairly!”

The Chieftain ended the conversation.

Two soldiers came up, intending to lead Shen Ye away.

Shen Ye obediently followed them down from the high platform, down the stairs, until they reached a huge underground prison.

A prepared outfit was presented before Shen Ye.

“I have to wear this?”

Shen Ye asked, crossing his arms.

He had been ready to fight, but this outfit was a bit…

Unappealing.

“Do you think it’s suitable?” someone asked.

“Frankly, its style is a bit weak, but I don’t really mind,” Shen Ye evaluated seriously.

A golden mask.

A shoulder-length wig studded with diamonds.

Leather armor with its surface completely covered in gold.

A pair of high boots, inlaid with colorful gems.

And a short staff made entirely of gold.

—It was irresistible.

Shen Ye allowed several orcs to help him put on the outfit.

“This used to be the High Priest’s clothing, now it’s yours,” an orc said.

“The Chieftain is wise,” Shen Ye said.

The curtain of another room was pulled open.

An orc walked in, pulled out a long iron rod from the flames, and displayed it in front of Shen Ye.

The tip of the iron rod had a special symbol glowing red.

The iron rod was aimed at Shen Ye’s face.

“Don’t move, you’ll soon become the Chieftain’s slave,” the orc beside him said.

“The Chieftain is truly confused,” Shen Ye sighed.

He suddenly slapped the iron rod away and dashed back hard.

“You can’t escape,” the slaves beside him shrieked, “Don’t struggle, spare yourself the suffering.”

Shen Ye ignored them, crossing the prison gate in one stride.

—He vanished!

Main world.

A door opened.

Shen Ye fell down.

Big Skeleton breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That was close, you were almost captured—this was the Chieftain’s invitation!”

Shen Ye, while taking off his clothes, asked in surprise, “The Chieftain’s invitation?”

Big Skeleton explained, “This is the current Orc Great Chieftain’s artifact. As long as he uses it to cast a spell and transmit it to his subordinates, it can issue an invitation on behalf of the Chieftain.”

“No matter where you are, if you receive the invitation, you will immediately soar into the sky and be dragged to the Orc royal city—”

“Thunder Fortress!”

As he spoke, lines of small runic characters flashed rapidly in the void, then descended and attached themselves to Shen Ye’s ankles.

—Like shackles.

The faint light then gathered into text:

“Great Chieftain’s Invitation.”

“Purple, one in a million.”

“Description: Once you are hit by this move, no matter where you are, you will embark on a rapid high-altitude flight until you reach Thunder Fortress!”

“Lasts for three days.”

“—You have already been hit by this move. It’s better to honestly stay in the main world until the effect of this spell disappears.”

Shen Ye moved around, feeling nothing of note.

“So this move can’t cross worlds?” he asked.

“Nonsense! Even a god can’t cast spells across worlds!” Big Skeleton said.

“It’s truly strange… I’m just a songstress. Why would they capture me like this, especially in the capital of the Undead Empire?” Shen Ye asked curiously.

“Many matters of the orcs rely on shamans. If they truly abandoned shamans, their entire society would inevitably fall into chaos,” Big Skeleton said in a deep voice.

“So they’re using the Chieftain’s invitation to capture people everywhere?” Shen Ye said hesitantly.

“Yes, they’re probably capturing songstresses randomly, hoping to maintain the normal operation of society,” Big Skeleton said.

Shen Ye sighed.

It was called an invitation, but it was more like a forced capture.

He had planned to prepare earlier to complete a highly rated entry tomorrow, allowing the door to advance further.

Who knew he would encounter the ambitious Orc Chieftain.

If he were to be teleported again, wouldn’t he be directly sent to Thunder Fortress, ready to fight those orcs?

It was clear they were about to start a war.

He couldn’t win a fight.

But he also didn’t want to be a slave.

Moreover, it wasn’t about money.

He didn’t want to touch either 996 or 807 again.

Tsk.

This is troublesome!

At this moment, the card vibrated continuously, displaying many messages.

Shen Ye had no choice but to take it out of his pocket.

On the card, a young girl standing on a lone boat gazed at him.

Xiao Mengyu!

“Hello?” Shen Ye connected the call.

“Where did you go? I couldn’t reach you for ages,” Xiao Mengyu asked, looking at him impatiently.

“Something came up—what is it?” Shen Ye asked.

“There’s a grand welcome party tonight. How are your preparations coming along?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“Preparations? Preparations for what?” Shen Ye asked curiously.

“Clothes, of course… You’re not still planning to wear that junior high school uniform, are you?” Xiao Mengyu said speechlessly.

Shen Ye felt a momentary lapse in memory.

That’s right.

He had spent too much time in the nightmare world today, even engaged in some song and dance creation.

It was already late.

—Tonight’s welcome party, he was going to see Song Qingyun!

Song Yinchen might also be there.

This matter had reached a point where it had to be resolved.

So—

Go in a junior high school uniform?

That didn’t seem right.

After all, he wasn’t a pure junior high school student.

Dress a bit flashy?

He had bought some vampire clothes in the

nightmare world.

Would wearing that be appropriate?

…Would wearing vampire attire for cosplay at such an occasion diminish the dignity of a Hun Tian Sect disciple?

It seemed a bit so.

Then what about the golden armor of a priest?

…Don’t flaunt your wealth.

“I don’t have any suitable clothes, only that school uniform,” Shen Ye said truthfully.

“I’ve prepared a set for you, want to try it on?” Xiao Mengyu asked.
