Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 92

Cloud Mountain Port

Temple.

The layout here has been changed. It’s no longer a banquet hall, but a solemn venue similar to where grand ceremonies are held.

Masters from various major factions and even the three major academies gathered.

Many people were discussing the situation of the current candidates.

“Everyone!”

A flash in the void.

The white-haired elder suddenly appeared, roaring like a clear bell.

Everyone looked at him.

“So, it’s Mr. Sun, the Grand Enshrinement of the Zhongli family, the Dragon-Tiger Cannon Hammer, who has arrived.”

Someone greeted him with a smile, but their gaze lingered on the undead corpse.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the undead corpse.

“Do you know what’s happening in the examination hall?” the white-haired elder asked.

“It’s impossible to know – any detection will stimulate the Dharma Realm, making the trials below even harder. So don’t rush, just wait quietly.” The Kalan examiner explained.

“That’s right, the area below has been sealed off,” the Guiyu examiner echoed.

Their gazes intersected for a moment.

The examiner’s gaze became stricter, while the white-haired elder looked utterly disdainful.

“What are you looking at? When I was studying at Kalan Academy, none of you kids were even born yet.”

“This whole exam is a mess.”

He snorted, pointed at the undead corpse in his hand, and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.

No good!

What was that thing just now?

He had actually fallen for it!

— Before healing, I must get this done!

The white-haired elder’s mind raced, and he shouted, “Shen Ye summoned a disaster, and my young master discovered it and sent me to destroy it. Everyone, quickly save me—”

His voice was urgent and loud, and by the latter half, it was like thunder, echoing throughout the hall.

Everyone around him looked at him.

No one spoke.

The white-haired elder first breathed a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted, then triumphantly surveyed the crowd, but the expression on his face slowly changed.

People just stared at him coldly, seeming indifferent to his previous words.

The white-haired elder was furious and sternly said:

“A candidate has been misled by a disaster and killed dozens of people in the examination hall. Are you going to be so pedantic as to wait until the exam is over to deal with it?”

Still, no one spoke.

The entire hall was dead silent.

The white-haired elder, seething with rage, threw the Assassin’s corpse to the ground and was about to say something more when he suddenly realized something.

No.

Something’s not right…

These people’s faces seemed completely different from what he remembered.

The white-haired elder looked closely, and his hair suddenly stood on end.

All those faces were identical!

Looking closer, these weren’t people at all, but distorted patterns spread across the wide, porcelain-like floor.

The only true human was himself!

…He was actually standing on a dinner plate.

As if sensing something, the white-haired elder looked up.

In mid-air, a huge face shrouded in shadow was looking down at him.

This face was even larger than the entire square.

It stared at him silently, maintaining a strange, eerie silence.

The white-haired elder was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood and let out a long sigh.

“I have no power to resist.”

“This technique…”

“It’s too profound for humans…”

He lowered his head.

His body gradually scattered into wisps of gray shadow, flying towards the huge face in mid-air.

At the same time.

The temple above Cloud Mountain Port.

“This whole exam is a mess.”

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Thump!

The white-haired elder fell to the ground.

Several strong individuals nearby immediately rushed up, trying to help him.

But they soon discovered something.

The Grand Enshrinement of the Zhongli family was dead.

“Strange!”

Cang Nan Yan stood up abruptly and shouted, “Has something changed with the exam below?”

“Don’t worry. The newcomers who passed the joint assessment of Kunlun and the three major institutions could never summon such a disaster!” the Guiyu Academy examiner said coldly.

“That’s right, the Dharma Realm covers the examination hall. If we intervene too much, something unpredictable might happen.”

“No matter the truth, we must wait until the exam ends to discuss it.”

The Kalan Academy examiner also added.

…

The mountain.

It has collapsed.

A door floats on the collapsed rubble.

The door opens.

Shen Ye quietly appears.

“Wow, was the battle that intense?” he exclaimed.

From a distance, a voice rang out:

“Don’t worry, both are dead.”

Shen Ye looked in the direction of the voice and saw a large skull floating and flying towards him.

At the same time.

Lines of faint light appeared, forming small characters:

Lines of small characters appeared in the void:

“Today, you resolved a crisis by continuously, smoothly, and seamlessly opening and closing the door, thus evaluating the entire crisis event.”

“—Incredible maneuvering saved your life.”

“Assessment: Facing a double-world death trap and two beings capable of instantly killing you, you survived through miraculous maneuvering.”

“This door opening has earned you the right to choose.”

“You can choose to upgrade the Blue (Excellent) trait: ‘Boy Who Lived’ by one level; or activate the pre-prepared Purple (One in a Million) trait: ‘The Little Match Girl’.”

“Furthermore, today you have escaped from mortal danger.”

“Assessment Trait: Boy Who Lived has been activated.”

“Your base attributes have all increased by two points.”

“Current attributes are:”

“Strength: 6.3 + 2 = 8.3;”

“Agility: 8.1 + 2 = 10.1;”

“Spirit: 6 + 2 = 8;”

“Insight: 6 + 2 = 8;”

“Resonance: 11 + 2 = 13; Moonlight lineage resonance + 20;”

“Available attribute points: 10.”

“Note: This trait is unavailable today.”

Shen Ye glanced at the increased attributes and didn’t pay them much mind.

— This was earned by risking his life.

He almost died!

He looked carefully at the preceding explanation.

“Boy Who Lived” upgrading by one level would reach Purple (One in a Million).

“The Little Match Girl” is already Purple (One in a Million).

How to choose?

After a brief thought, Shen Ye made his choice.

— Of course, he’d choose “The Little Match Girl.”

That way, he would have one blue trait and one purple trait.

If he chose to upgrade “Boy Who Lived,” he would only have one purple trait.

Who wouldn’t want an extra trait!

“I choose ‘The Little Match Girl’,” Shen Ye thought to himself.

All the faint lights blended together, re-forming into lines of small characters:

“Evaluation Trait obtained from this door opening:”

“The Little Match Girl.”

“Purple Trait (One in a Million).”

“Description: Every ‘full day’ you don’t enter the world beyond the door, your chance of obtaining ‘better’ traits increases by 10%, up to a maximum of 90%.”

“—Human longing and love are unstoppable; they will accumulate and one day erupt like a torrent!”

“You can keep this evaluation trait and upgrade it in the future; or you can consume this evaluation trait to gain base attribute points.”

This is good!

Even if he couldn’t go there for a while, he wouldn’t need to rush anymore!

If he didn’t go for nine consecutive days and then went once, he might get an extremely powerful trait!

A round of applause suddenly sounded.

Shen Ye sharply turned his head.

He saw a pretty young girl standing on a tree not far away.

Behind the girl, a dull-looking boy was clinging to a branch like a lizard or gecko, respectfully hovering near the girl, then looking at Shen Ye with eyes that seemed to be sizing up prey.

Zhao Yibing and Skinner!

“I didn’t sense her either—she was that shadow back then, but she’s gotten stronger!”

The Big Skeleton’s voice immediately rang out.

Shen Ye’s heart tightened.

Although Big Skeleton had lost its body, its strength remained.

But this time it was completely different from when they were in the hotel.

It hadn’t sensed the opponent either!

“Hey! Old classmate, are you taking the exam too!” Shen Ye greeted with a smile.

— There’s no hiding this time.

The door opened behind him, and this monster saw it.

However—

Zhao Yibing didn’t attack either.

She crossed her arms, carefully examining Shen Ye, her eyes filled with admiration.

“The battle just now was truly spectacular, Shen Ye. Is that door your ability?”

“—An ability generated after devouring the cursed sculpture of the King of Ten Thousand Fallen Demons.”

“Haha, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Shen Ye said.

“You’re afraid of me,” Zhao Yibing said with an indifferent smile, “power, no matter how much it accumulates, is static, but you transformed it into an amazing ability and used it so well.”

“Don’t worry, I can’t resist right now—”

Before she finished speaking, a figure descended from the sky, instantly blocking Shen Ye.

— It was a little girl with twin pigtails, about five or six years old.

“Did you forget what I told you? Or do you really want to die?”

The little girl stared fiercely at Zhao Yibing.

Zhao Yibing looked indifferent, still crossing her arms, and said playfully:

“How much longer can you last?”

“Hmph, it’s still easy to kill you!”

As the little girl spoke, she quickly formed a spell seal with one hand.

In an instant—

A fierce wind roared.

Zhao Yibing sighed, seemingly annoyed, and said calmly:

“Do you think you can protect him for much longer?”

The little girl’s eyes widened, and she suddenly shouted cutely:

“Scram!”

The wind—

The wind turned into a terrifying tide, uprooting the entire dense forest, blowing it high into the sky, and sending it plummeting outside the floating island.

Zhao Yibing stood on the treetop, allowing the strong wind to uproot the entire tree, carrying her and her subordinate to fly freely in the sky.

She simply looked at Shen Ye from a distance, then retracted her gaze.
