Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 254

Shen Ye waved his hand.

The golden drop of blood broke through the ice and landed back in his hand.

Xu Xingke frowned:

“This drop of blood contains an extremely wild and powerful force. Where did you get it?”

“Teacher, it’s a long story—”

Shen Ye recounted everything that had happened beneath the tomb.

After listening, Xu Xingke’s brow relaxed.

“Your strategy is correct. The Sword Maiden is not far from here. I need to go help her immediately. This way, the invaders’ scheme will be completely foiled.”

“Teacher, please go,” Shen Ye said immediately.

“I’ll head to the tomb in a moment. We’ll meet there!” Xu Xingke said.

“Okay!” Shen Ye responded.

Xu Xingke’s figure flashed and soared into the sky.

Shen Ye stood still and rested for a while.

This is good.

The teacher is free and will go to help immediately.

With the teacher and Sword Maiden working together, they should be able to quickly repel the enemy.

If the Sword Maiden is also freed, humanity will have two more supreme powerhouses who can sweep the surface and even counterattack the tomb!

The plan worked.

Shen Ye reached out and summoned a door.

He stepped through it and returned to the passage deep within the tomb.

Everything was as usual.

—Actually, it wasn’t as usual.

Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly, recalling the battle just now in detail.

In fact, after reaching that peak combat state, he had estimated the enemies’ strength.

If he, a Boundary One cultivator, was like standing at the foot of a mountain looking up at those enemies.

Then, after using the Emperor Species’ blood, he had surpassed them, standing in a higher state of power and looking down on them.

At this point, a problem was discovered.

Among the several enemies, Tian Luo’s strength was slightly weaker.

The Nine Aspects’ strength was not much worse than Mago睺’s!

The two could even be said to be on par.

If Mago睺 genuinely lacked “door” abilities…

The Nine Aspects had no need to fear him.

The nightmare world has abundant resources and treasures, the main world has the tomb, what does hell have?

Hell is barren.

Even bone coins are considered treasures.

So, the treatment assigned to the Nine Aspects did not match his strength.

Aside from that.

There was another suspicious point.

When he fought Tian Luo, he used such violent Thunder Shock Palm, why couldn’t he severely injure him?

This was not right!

Shen Ye summoned the Cold Moon Qi, condensing it into a piece of ice, using it as a mirror.

He formed a hand seal.

My Reflection in the Mirror!

A brand new him immediately appeared in the ice mirror.

However, after the body exploded, though still controlled by his soul, it could no longer come to the real world.

Unless the skill leveled up.

“Now… let’s try ‘Frost Moon Shakes the Heavens’.”

Shen Ye said.

The him in the mirror reached out, but instead of frost, blazing flames gathered, forming a bow of fire.

He drew it, and it was not the Taiyin Divine Arrow, but the Fiery Sun Divine Arrow.

Lost the ice freezing attribute.

Gained the explosive destructive attribute.

“This is truly…”

Shen Ye murmured softly, feeling a headache coming on.

Everything in the mirror image was reversed, so the attributes of the skills were also reversed.

He had to familiarize himself beforehand.

Otherwise, in the next battle, if he didn’t even know what his skills would do, what was the point of fighting?

A figure flew in from the other end of the passage.

It was Lilith.

“What happened? I saw you leave the tomb earlier at an incredible speed.”

Lilith looked at him with surprise and uncertainty.

“You came just in time.”

Shen Ye, without a word, issued an order to his mirror image.

The mirrored self immediately formed a hand seal with both hands, channeling endless lightning, and pushed it towards Lilith.

Whoosh!

The ice shattered.

The mirror instantly disappeared.

The Shen Ye in the mirror also vanished with it.

Only those two balls of lightning broke through the mirror and flew towards Lilith.

“Can you block this move?” Shen Ye asked.

“Piece of cake.”

Lilith curled her lip in disdain and blocked it casually.

—There was no expected peal of thunder.

Instead, there was a “zzz” sound.

Shen Ye looked closely.

He saw that although Lilith had blocked the move, she stood there twitching, her eyes rolled back, and her hands and feet convulsing.

“What… what kind of move… is that?”

She stammered, asking.

Shen Ye took two steps back and looked at the void.

Lines of faint text appeared:

“Thunder Shock: A palm technique that contains the power of heavenly lightning, causing the target to become paralyzed, irresistible, lasting for three seconds.”

“—Heavenly Thunder Birth Technique.”

Shen Ye was greatly surprised.

Did lightning also have a distinction between creation and destruction?

It was an eye-opener.

In this way, this move is a stunning one.

No wonder I didn’t take down Tian Luo then!

It was still because I was unfamiliar with the reversed skills, which gave him a chance to use his ultimate move later.

Three seconds passed.

Lilith finally recovered from her paralysis and twitching, retreating a few steps warily, sizing up Shen Ye.

“No… what exactly did you go through?”

She asked, full of doubt.

“Why do you ask that?” Shen Ye retorted.

“You feel different, as if you’ve become stronger and more experienced in combat,” Lilith said.

Shen Ye subconsciously glanced at his full attributes.

“You are in a state of combat blessing, therefore your combat makes it easier for you to improve your strength.”

щшш•тTk ān•￠ O

“This state comes from the ‘lounge’.”

“Current all attributes +1.”

“Your total attributes have reached 20.”

“Please complete the real-person entry as soon as possible to obtain a greater degree of strength enhancement.”

So that’s how it is.

There was also a contribution from the panda.

However, the most important thing was his personal experience of that battle.

—That kind of practical combat beyond the Sixth Realm.

For a student of his meager Boundary One strength, this was a huge cognitive leap.

Suddenly.

More faint light gathered in the void, condensing into lines of small characters.

Why are there still prompts?

Shen Ye looked on curiously:

“You have been temporarily granted the skill of the Emperor Species Cosmic Giant Worm:”

“End of Destiny·Nest Banner.”

“Possessing this skill means the Law Realm acknowledges your profession.”

“You have temporarily used this skill, therefore you can begin attempting to take up the opponent’s profession:”

“Dark Devourer.”

“Cosmic wandering profession, special race (Emperor Species) profession.”

“The minimum personal attribute points required to take up ‘Dark Devourer’ are:”

“All attributes 200 points.”

“Do you wish to take up this profession?”

“You have half an hour to complete this profession change.”

“After half an hour, the residual power of the spell will completely disappear, the Law Realm will withdraw this recognition, and you will lose this opportunity to take up the profession.”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but laugh.

—Professions are the Law Realm’s recognition of power, condensed from the Law Realm’s primordial energy.

Generally speaking, if he had free attribute points, he would have no problem taking on various professions.

But!

The “Dark Devourer” profession required 200 points for its initial attribute!

Although the teacher had said to choose “non-human” professions when becoming employed—

But 200 points for all attributes!

This was simply impossible to achieve!

So, stop dreaming. It’s pointless.

Alright.

Forget about this matter.

Once they’ve all passed on, he can finally settle down and explore this great tomb properly.

Shen Ye pulled out the Sect Master’s Tome from his pocket, opened it, and turned to the third page.

He stared at the blank page for a few moments.

A brief trance.

He appeared again in that great hall.

In the main hall.

The ancient heroes gathered, all staring at Shen Ye.

“Why are you staring at me? It’s making me self-conscious.”

Shen Ye said with a smile.

“What kind of skill is that?” the white-haired old Daoist asked.

“‘My Reflection in the Mirror’ is an imported item, not a professional skill from our world,” Shen Ye explained.

“How did you get it?” the burly man interjected impatiently.

“Working, you know—you wouldn’t believe how busy I am in hell, working several jobs, even my job title is starting to advance.” Shen Ye spread his hands.

“Good! It seems we can really retire now,” the white-haired old Daoist said with emotion.

“Right, go away—given what you’ve done, you should go to heaven after death, no need to worry about earthly matters,” Shen Ye waved his hand and said.

The souls still looked at him.

“Don’t believe me?” Shen Ye patted his chest: “The new wage slave has started working, you staying here is useless anyway.”

The white-haired old man laughed and said:

“So we’re really leaving?”

“Go! Hurry up and go! Seeing you old fogies just annoys me, constantly worrying and suffering, each one living a bitter and tragic life.”

“—All of you, hurry up and ascend to heaven, go enjoy your afterlife.”

Shen Ye said impatiently.

Before he finished speaking.

The burly man from earlier suddenly flew up to the platform, patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly:

“I was wrong to scold you just now, kid. Take care.”

With that, his figure gradually faded and disappeared before Shen Ye’s eyes.

Lines of faint text suddenly appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“+1.”

Plus 1?

What does it mean?

Shen Ye had no time to react when he saw the exquisite woman also fly up and lightly caress his shoulder.

“I misunderstood you, I apologize, but don’t die too early, I don’t want to see you too soon.”

With a smile at him, she flew up into the air and gradually disappeared.

“+1.”

Plus 1 again!

The remaining people came up one by one, taking turns patting his shoulder.

“Tsk tsk, this young man’s mind is much better than mine now.”

“I’m leaving, take care of yourself.”

“Take care, kid.”

“Run if you can’t beat them, understand?”

“That’s right, don’t try to be a hero.”

“You’re still young, I hope you don’t fall in love too early.”

“Young man, remember to study more, read more books. If the world achieves peace, you have such a good image, go be an idol.”

“I’m off.”

“Farewell, kid.”

Everyone said their goodbyes in turn.

“+1” kept appearing in the void.

Finally.

Over a hundred people, all disappeared.

The hall was empty, with only the white-haired old Daoist and Shen Ye remaining.

“I can rest assured leaving Hùntiān Mén to you.”

The white-haired old Daoist sighed.

“You shouldn’t be too relieved. Actually, I don’t have much confidence myself,” Shen Ye said.

“Then you just now—”

“I was just trying to make you happy, to help you outdated old-timers return to life sooner and enjoy the pleasures of the dead.”

“Hey, watch your mouth.”

“I am being respectful.”

The white-haired old Daoist smiled helplessly, and said reluctantly:

“…You brat, we’re really leaving this time.”

Shen Ye slowly put away the playful expression on his face.

He bowed respectfully and said:

“Thank you for your continued care, disciple Shen Ye will certainly pass down the sect and carry forward the Hùntiān tradition.”

Silence all around.

The white-haired old man slowly opened his mouth and said:

“No need to feel pressured, just live.”

“I will,” Shen Ye said.

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, the white-haired old man nodded with satisfaction:

“This old man has been worthy of humanity and worthy of the sect. Now, I can finally embark on a new journey.”

“Are you truly at ease?” Shen Ye asked.

The white-haired old Daoist patted Shen Ye’s shoulder and said:

“When you can grow your own wings, why rely on a cloud ladder.”

His figure gradually faded, flying into the sky and disappearing.

A faint light appeared:

“Sect recognition, +10.”

Shen Ye sighed, standing alone in the empty hall, a wave of loneliness in his heart.

Now.

He was alone again.

But why did they all pat my shoulder just now?

Perhaps the ancient farewell禮仪 was to pat the other’s shoulder.

But—

What is plus 1?

He turned his head to look at his shoulder.

Nothing was there.

Suddenly, lines of faint text appeared in the void:

“You have rewritten human history in an extremely legendary way, earning the recognition of thousands of years of ancient heroes.”

“The Law Realm witnessed this event.”

“The resonance between all sentient beings and you has increased.”

“Current resonance increase complete.”

“Total +170.”

“Congratulations.”

“Your resonance has reached 190.”

“—The world bows to you.”
