Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 222

Shen Ye shook his head, momentarily unsure of how to handle their relationship.

“What can you do?” he asked.

“The Chaos Spirit Light struck me, causing endless pain and throwing all my powers into disarray. I need time to recover before I can act on your behalf,” the female voice said.

Well, then.

It was indeed a useless fellow.

—The key was that this fellow was too dangerous.

Otherwise, how could the Chaos Spirit Light have set up a rule like, “Whatever pain you suffer, she will suffer a hundredfold”?

“Now, don’t gamble next time. There’s nothing else I can say. We’ll see what the teacher demands of you later,” Shen Ye said.

Yun Ni didn’t speak.

Xu Xingke was fighting that person.

Damn it.

He had thought he was strong, but he never expected him to be even stronger than he had anticipated.

—Unfortunately, he had no way to do anything now.

He could only wait quietly for now.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Shen Ye didn’t bother saying more. He lay on the bed and started to sleep.

He slept until 11:30 AM.

Canteen.

Xiao Mengyu didn’t come.

Nangong Sirui didn’t come.

Zhang Xiaoyi didn’t come either.

Guo Yunye, however, came with a bitter expression.

Shen Ye, fully refreshed from his sleep, asked while eating:

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Where’s Ayi?”

“Ayi didn’t finish his homework and is still digging pits—the supervisors praised him, saying he was born for this job,” Guo Yunye replied.

“His endurance is strong… He’s been let down by his own talent,” Shen Ye said thoughtfully.

Guo Yunye sobbed a few times, then lowered his head to eat his rice.

“Don’t worry, his talent actually has more uses. As a talented person, he will sooner or later rise above the ranks of the sappers,” Shen Ye consoled him.

“I’m not crying for him; I’m sad for myself.”

Guo Yunye whispered, lowering his head to eat his rice.

“You finished your homework and came out of there, didn’t you?” Shen Ye said in surprise.

Classes ended at 12 PM.

Guo Yunye had left early, which meant he should have been freed from hard labor.

But he was so sad.

Had he been bullied inside?

Shen Ye put down his chopsticks, sat next to Guo Yunye, and patted his shoulder, saying:

“What happened?”

Guo Yunye stopped eating, gathered himself, and then said:

“I had hoped to escape hard labor with my excellent sense of smell—but as soon as I transformed, I was designated as a treasure-hunting dog by the army—that’s why I was able to leave.”

“Pfft—” Shen Ye spat out a mouthful of rice.

Yes, as a treasure-hunting dog, he had indeed escaped hard labor!

It made sense.

But this logic was a bit damaging to his self-esteem.

“It’s fine,” Shen Ye comforted him, “Maybe you can become a divine beast in ancient times!”

Guo Yunye’s eyes lit up.

That’s right.

Why hadn’t he thought in that direction?

Watching Guo Yunye cheer up, Shen Ye patted his shoulder and got up to leave the canteen.

Full and satisfied.

And he had caught up on sleep.

His attribute points had basically recovered.

Shen Ye looked towards the towering city walls deep within the campus.

Behind the city walls was an abyss of ten thousand feet.

The great tomb lay beneath it.

Could he…

Go down there himself?

Actually, there was no need to be secretive about this.

Shen Ye called Yang Yingzhen, his guide.

“What is it, Shen Ye?”

Yang Yingzhen asked.

Shen Ye spoke directly: “Teacher, I am a descendant of the Hunyuan Gate. My sect’s heritage is in the Great Tomb, and I want to visit it.”

“What? You’ve activated your inherited memory?” Yang Yingzhen asked in surprise.

“That’s right. I even know the location. I just need to go there,” Shen Ye said.

“Wait a moment, I’ll call you back,”

Yang Yingzhen hung up the phone.

After a while.

She called back:

“Shen Ye, I’ve already reported your matter to the principal.”

“The principal said this matter concerns the Hunyuan Gate’s legacy, and it’s quite important. He’ll be back tomorrow, and he’ll take you down then.”

“Okay, thank you, teacher,” Shen Ye said.

“You’re welcome. Feel free to come to me for any academic matters.”

“Thank you!”

The call ended.

Tomorrow, then.

With the principal personally leading him down to the Great Tomb, that would work too.

What should he do now?

—Go to hell to see if that monster had left.

If it had left, he could proceed with The Great Skeleton’s matter.

If it hadn’t, he would return and practice at the training ground.

Shen Ye walked out of the school and casually found a secluded alley, preparing to go to the hell world.

But which coordinates should he go to?

First, he definitely couldn’t go to the乱骨地 (乱骨地).

The Skinner had been killed there.

What if that monster was enjoying itself, squatting there, waiting to ambush him? Wouldn’t he become a little “two”?

Then he would go to Isaac’s territory.

By that lake, he had conveniently set up a second coordinate point.

—Of course, he had to prepare his defenses first.

Shen Ye put on a set of undead armor, grasped the Night Shadow Sword, and activated “Shadow Strike” directly.

—Heaven’s Shadow automatically advanced one rank!

At this moment, Heaven’s Shadow was already at the first level of the Dharma Realm. Relying on the “Shadow Strike” of the Night Shadow Sword, it leaped to the second level of the Dharma Realm.

Dharma Realm Second Level – Heaven’s Shadow:

“Effect: When you openly acknowledge it, among all things illuminated by the light, you are one of them and do not receive excessive attention.”

“This effect will be seen through when you provoke, attack, move, or when the strength difference between you and the opponent reaches five layers.”

Shen Ye scratched his head.

What did this effect mean? He hadn’t studied Chinese well, so he couldn’t quite understand some parts.

When I acknowledge it?

“This is too ridiculous. I’ll admit I’m a slot machine.”

Shen Ye muttered to himself.

As he spoke, two young men walked from the end of the street.

Shen Ye glanced at them and hid his sword in his embrace.

They were just ordinary people.

No need to cause trouble.

The two young men walked past Shen Ye.

One of them suddenly glanced at Shen Ye and said:

“Eh? A slot machine.”

The other said, “Yeah, there’s a slot machine here.”

After saying that, they no longer paid attention to him and quickly passed through the alley, then left.

“…” Shen Ye.

Did I really become a slot machine?

This was the power of the second-tier protective mystic art: Heaven’s Shadow?

Alright.

It was definitely a life-saving divine skill.

He had even more confidence to go to the nightmare world!

He looked left and right, only to see that there was no one in the alley at that moment.

“Door.”

A low whisper.

A door appeared on the wall.

Shen Ye stepped through, disappearing from the main world.

…

Nightmare World.

Isaac’s territory.

Shen Ye silently appeared by the lake.

There was nothing around.

The sky—

There were no dense crowds of heads in the sky either.

Had those monsters run away?

…He had been so worried and made so many preparations, but they ran away?

A faint sense of melancholy rose in Shen Ye’s heart.

However, two lines of faint glowing text appeared:

“One week has passed, your door ability: Time Fluid has recovered.”

“You can use this ability at any time.”

This was good news!

—Time-based abilities were quite abnormal, acting as a trump card for him.

It was like adding wings to a tiger—

What to do now?

He had an idea.

Shen Ye took out the “Sect Master’s Treasure Strategy” and opened it:

“Today, a shower of rain, heads falling from the sky.”

“It is auspicious to make offerings, auspicious to wait.”

“It is not auspicious to make enemies.”

“—Practice the Thunder Shock Palm technique three thousand times, and you’ll be able to elevate it to the second stage of the Dharma Realm.”

Offerings…

As Shen Ye looked at the page, a prompt popped up:

“Offerings bring powerful modifiers.”

What about waiting?

“Curb your pride and impetuosity, and your efforts will come to fruition.”

Not advisable to make enemies?

“One more friend, one less dead end.”

The last point must be remembered!

Speaking of which, this treasure strategy book is a prophetic book, capable of giving such strong advice.

Shen Ye silently noted it down and turned to look west.

Werewolf Glynn had told him to go west before he died, saying, “The general has escaped; go protect him quickly.”

—The Castigation Castle was also in that direction!

Perhaps General Tazewell’s target was also Castigation Castle?

Shen Ye immediately decided.

Go west!

General Tazewell was a forthright fallen angel, and he seemed to know quite a bit.

—Let’s go meet up with him.

“Killing a man in ten steps, traveling a thousand miles without leaving a trace.”

Boom—

The roar of a motorcycle sounded.

Shen Ye stepped onto it, twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle immediately shot out.

The ghost fire motorcycle sped across the vast plains.

About twenty minutes later.

Shen Ye started to slow down.

Dead souls had already appeared ahead.

—Still fleeing dead souls.

Shen Ye put away his motorcycle, casually dealt with a few ill-intentioned individuals, continuously accelerated, weaved through the crowd, and finally managed to get to the front of the team.

Midway, many dead souls left the team and went in other directions.

Shen Ye, however, continued to head west.

It was indeed too slow to walk like this, so he simply sped up, constantly flying forward.

The dead souls were getting more and more numerous.

Finally.

He saw a small town ahead.

Calling it a small town was an exaggeration—

It was a rudimentary defensive position.

Several powerful Shadow Knights gathered, vigilantly watching everyone who passed by.

These were shadow-like beings, immune to ordinary damage unless their “shadow core” was hit.

—The shadow core was their heart.

However, unlike humans, they could move their shadow core at will.

So on the battlefield, if they wore full armor, you would have no idea where they had hidden their shadow core.

—Extremely difficult to kill.

Most people would not dare to fight such a troublesome race.

Shen Ye thought for a moment, then approached and said:

“Excuse me, I have something I’d like to ask.”

The fully armored Shadow Knight turned its head, revealing the deep shadow beneath its helmet.

After carefully scrutinizing Shen Ye, a cold voice emerged from the shadows:

“Information is tiered; the higher the level of information, the more expensive the charge.”

“Okay, I want to ask if you’ve seen General Tazewell and his party,” Shen Ye said.

The Shadow Knight’s tone changed:

“General Tazewell? We know him well, but who are you—”

“I am his scout captain. I got separated from him earlier,” Shen Ye said.

“I see. Do you have the general’s token?” the Shadow Knight asked.

“Only this.”

Shen Ye pulled out the wind emblem.

“Ah, I know this thing.” The Shadow Knight strode back, took a birdcage from another Shadow Knight, and opened it.

A skeleton bird immediately flew out and landed on Shen Ye’s shoulder.

“Follow it; it will take you to the general—but when the task is done, you must pay it three bone coins, how about it?”

“Deal!”

“Then hurry, if the general starts his carriage, he’ll be very fast.”

“Alright.”

The skeleton bird flew off Shen Ye’s shoulder, screeching, “Follow me! Follow me!”

Shen Ye immediately followed it, running forward without stopping.

Suddenly.

For some reason, Shen Ye’s heart lurched.

A strong premonition unexpectedly arose, making him feel as if he were a drowning man, choked by death.

This familiar feeling…

He subconsciously looked up, only to see a new term appear above his head:

“Witness.”

“Red-level (mythical), incidental modifier.”

“Description: Death is awakening in darkness and tremor, and those who meticulously designed all of this will be destroyed by Death along with their worlds.

Witness everything; no one can escape Death’s wrath. Even you, as a witness, will have to slumber in the darkness.”

“Go on a night stroll. If you gain the support of companions, you might be able to stop everything before darkness spreads.”

“The current term has the ‘temporary dissipation’ characteristic and will be destroyed in ten seconds.”

“—An incidental destiny-type term.”

“The destinies of multiple worlds are gradually becoming linked with you, and this modifier was born from your ‘door’ ability’s perception, solely to raise your vigilance.”

“—Destruction in the cosmos is merely natural law, not requiring human logic.”

Shen Ye had just finished reading when ten seconds were up.

The crimson modifier flashed and was gone.

It vanished.
