Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 186

After returning from the supermarket, Shen Ye played two more games of chess with Shen Shian.

A peaceful night.

However, Nangong Sirui suddenly called, asking if he was going to tutoring or not.

This surprised Shen Ye quite a bit.

The old couple listened with their ears perked up on the side—

His mother was delighted that her son had made friends as soon as he entered high school.

Shen Ye showed Nangong Sirui’s photo to them.

—It was the one where they “smiled at each other.”

His parents looked at each other.

It had to be said, Nangong Sirui’s appearance was quite striking.

After a while.

His mother, Zhao Xiaoshang, asked gently, “What about the girl who called you earlier?”

Shen Ye then showed them Xiao Mengyu’s photo.

The old couple were once again deeply impressed.

After a while.

His father, Shen Shian, earnestly advised him that puppy love wasn’t a bad thing, and it wasn’t a big problem.

His mother, Zhao Xiaoshang, immediately added that as long as it didn’t affect his studies, it was fine.

Shen Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He watched TV with his parents for a while, then got up and went back to his room.

Closing the bedroom door.

The smile on Shen Ye’s face quickly disappeared.

He raised his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and saw three crimson vertical lines on his wrist emitting a faint glow.

—The transaction with the Lord of the Demonic Prison had been activated!

Fortunately, he had prepared early.

Shen Ye took out the USB drive and held it in his hand.

Instantly.

The USB drive was gone.

The three crimson vertical lines gradually calmed down.

Shen Ye stood there, silently for a long time.

He was tricked.

And a reward?

There was nothing.

He suddenly felt something, and raised his wrist to look.

The crimson vertical lines on his wrist were somehow connected!

His phone rang.

An unknown number.

He knew who it was without even thinking.

“Hello?” Shen Ye answered the phone.

“Shen Ye,” Yun Ni’s voice came through the receiver, “You did very well, I’m very satisfied, so this time the reward is—the time of the gamble has been extended!”

“You’re afraid the Skinner won’t beat me, aren’t you?”

Shen Ye sneered.

“Troublemaker” was a dark gold epithet, even Song Qingyun couldn’t break free from it and could only fall for it obediently.

Why should the Skinner be immune?

Yun Ni must be thinking of a countermeasure.

“Hehe, don’t be so blunt, I really do want your soul.” Yun Ni’s laughter rang out.

“When exactly is the fight?” Shen Ye asked.

“When I’m confident—but your transaction with me has to continue every day, bye.”

The call ended.

Shen Ye’s anger grew even stronger.

This demon lord totally disregarded the rules!

But did she think she could win this way?

Things were different now—

The being with the flying sword didn’t make a move, just to continue probing the depths of the Lord of the Crying Demonic Prison and gather information.

His teacher also knew about this.

So he didn’t need to worry about anything concerning the Lord of the Crying Demonic Prison.

He only needed to worry about one thing—

To improve his strength so that the Skinner could never catch up!

Shen Ye tried to calm his emotions.

Amidst his fluctuating thoughts, lines of faint glowing text appeared in the void:

“Strength: 19;”

“Agility: 19;”

“Spirit: 19;”

“Perception: 19;”

“Resonance: 19; (Moonlight lineage resonance +20);”

“Available attribute points: 10.”

—How could he quickly improve his strength?

Shen Ye pondered, then remembered something else.

True Human-level epithets.

All attributes at 20 points could grant True Human-level epithets!

Perhaps this was it!

“Hey, Big Skeleton, let me ask you something.”

“Go ahead.”

“What happens if all attributes reach 20?”

“Nothing will happen.”

“What? Doesn’t reaching 20 attributes grant some special ‘names’?”

“How could that be? You’re dreaming if you think you can get special ‘names’ with just 20 attribute points!” Big Skeleton’s tone was firm and confident.

“…” Shen Ye fell into contemplation.

“But your teacher did say,” Big Skeleton continued, “he said that your sect has an upgrade when all attributes are at 20 points—perhaps your sect has some strange connection with the Dharma Realm, that’s possible.”

That’s true.

Nangong Sirui’s attribute points should be very high, but he didn’t have a “name.”

Xiao Mengyu was a very special case—

She gained the “Sword Saint” title even before her attribute points were sufficient.

With this “name,” her resonance with sword qi increased by 10 points, all attributes increased by 5 points, and swordsmanship damage doubled.

And he needed all attributes to be full 20 to get the “True Human” level epithet.

It really is—

Everyone is different.

20 points…

Actually, for him, it wasn’t difficult.

Should he try it?

Shen Ye gently locked the bedroom door, walked to the center of the room, and stood still.

He took 5 points from the 13 free attribute points and added them to Strength, Agility, Spirit, Perception, and Resonance respectively.

—All attribute points reached 20.

Suddenly.

Shen Ye felt a strong wave of power radiating from his entire body.

This power was not for destruction.

It was like a sharp, invisible signal, suddenly rising in the void, extending towards the depths of the invisible sky.

And kept extending—

During this process, Shen Ye’s hands were covered in lightning, frost enveloped his legs, and the shadow beneath his feet dispersed and vanished.

He tried to take a step.

Immediately, numerous illusory figures like flowing water appeared behind him.

The illusory figures continuously performed four moves—

Frost Moon Shaking the Heavens!

These four moves were like a manifestation of a characteristic, and also like a special “key,” beginning to guide him to link with some invisible thing in the depths of the sky.

What exactly was it?

A strange sense suddenly arose in Shen Ye’s heart, and a thought emerged:

—He was about to connect with the Dharma Realm.

The next instant.

Everything in the bedroom vanished.

Blank.

There was nothing else in the world, only a vast sea of clouds.

Faint light gathered into words:

“You are a successor of the Hun Tian Gate, possessing the ‘Night Roaming’ profession recognized by the Dharma Realm, currently at the ‘True Human’ stage.”

“Your innate talent is confirmed as:”

“World Linkage ability.”

“The Dharma Realm is activating your innate talent, causing it to transcend a critical point and elevate to a higher dimensional ability.”

Whoosh—

A faint flame light ignited around Shen Ye, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.

The surrounding reflections changed rapidly.

In his mind, countless abilities related to world linkage appeared one by one.

These myriad abilities opened Shen Ye’s eyes, and at the same time, he couldn’t help but have a deep question.

It was a bit strange.

How could a two-world linkage ability be so powerful?

As his thoughts churned, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, his perspective broke out from the Dharma Realm, soaring into the sky, flying towards an even more distant place.

Everything turned into darkness.

A vast universe appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes.

Shen Ye’s mind swayed.

How did it—

How did he get out of the cabin?

However, the continuous movement of his perspective told him—

He had not stopped, and was still rapidly moving towards a distant place.

A planet!

A planet shining with scarlet light came into view.

Shen Ye let out a sound like an electric shock.

—In fact, if it were just a planet, he wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest.

After all, he had seen phenomena like the Dharma Realm.

In his previous life, he had also seen the Milky Way and various magnificent galaxy photos.

But this planet was different.

Its surface emitted a scarlet glow, forming a hideous and murderous human face.

—It was that planet approaching the main world!

Why!!!

I came to improve my world linkage ability, why do I see this planet?

Shen Ye felt that everything was bewildering, hidden in a deep mist, unable to find the truth of the matter.

His hands and feet were cold, he held his breath, and carefully looked at the human face—

The human face had its eyes closed.

It seemed to be in a deep slumber.

Slumber…

For no reason, the anxiety and fear that gripped his heart slightly eased.

Lines of faint light appeared, forming small words:

“You have touched the threshold of the ‘Gate’ ability advancement, and are about to absorb the Dharma Realm power of the current planet to achieve True Human.”

“The current advancement requires approximately three minutes to complete the absorption of power.”

“After the advancement is completed, you will receive a red (Mythical tier) epithet.”

“With this Mythical tier epithet, the ‘Gate’ ability will achieve a breakthrough advancement.”

“Start!”

Shen Ye looked at these prompts, then subconsciously looked at the human face on the planet.

What he feared most was exactly what came—

The gigantic human face slowly changed its expression.

This was followed by a magnificent and boundless voice, which exploded directly in Shen Ye’s mind:

“It’s about… to begin…”

“Bring back the sculpture.”

“Quick!”

Sculpture?

What sculpture?

Shen Ye’s mind was bewildered.

But the huge human face continued to change, its eyes trembling slightly, seemingly about to open.

An unprecedented sense of suffocation arose in Shen Ye’s heart.

No.

It must not open its eyes.

He would die!

—But what could he do to escape this Dharma Realm ritual?

With his abilities, he couldn’t do it at all!

A flash of lightning suddenly shot through Shen Ye’s mind.

His thoughts stirred.

He got it!

Small words formed by faint light quickly appeared before his eyes:

шωш⊙тт kán⊙￠o

“You have retrieved all free attribute points.”

“Currently, all your attributes have dropped to 19 points.”

“You have lost this advancement opportunity.”

“You have lost the opportunity to obtain a ‘True Human’ level epithet.”

In a flash.

All illusions completely disappeared.

Shen Ye found himself still standing in the bedroom.

The light in the room was not on.

A dead silence.

That strange feeling receded like a tide.

After another breath.

The sound of the TV outside finally seeped through the door crack.

His father’s voice.

His mother’s phone call.

The sound of children jumping upstairs.

Everything was peaceful and harmonious.

“Phew—”

Shen Ye let out a long breath, only then realizing that he had broken out in a cold sweat on his back, and his clothes were already soaked.
