Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 259

The underground passage was surrounded by endless darkness.

A female corpse lay on the ground, her heart stopped beating, and her blood had cooled.

Dozens of meters away.

A three-meter-tall black woman bent down and embraced Shen Ye.

Her long fingers pierced Shen Ye’s chest, emerging from his back, pointing high, allowing the blood to trickle down her fingertips.

The woman opened her mouth, extended her long tongue, and coiled it seven or eight times around her fingers, licking all the blood clean.

A deep, resonant voice, neither male nor female, spread through the thick ill omens:

“Blood.”

“—The blood that has lost its power is extremely thin.”

Shen Ye did not move, only listened.

She didn’t kill me.

Why?

At this moment, he risked his life, disregarding everything, wanting to explore the reason for the whole incident.

Perhaps at another time, anyone else who knew would call him crazy.

But Shen Ye just stood there, unmoving.

Because of that guess!

The other party could clearly have killed him.

But it didn’t.

It just followed him here.

It embraced him.

—What does it want to confirm?

Perhaps the incredible thought in his mind was about to be answered.

The answer.

Give me the answer—

Tear!

The fingers withdrew.

Shen Ye trembled all over, blood oozing from his mouth.

But he just spread his arms, letting the other party hold him tight, and continued to wait for that answer!

In the darkness.

The woman’s eerie voice was no longer frantic and bloodthirsty, but dry and hoarse:

“You became a ‘Dark Devourer’ directly during your infancy, which proves you have great potential, but you are also likely to die young…”

“Because you have overdrawn the power of your bloodline.”

Shen Ye’s pupils contracted.

That’s right, that drop of golden blood, even after losing its power, was still within his body!

Not only that.

The other party also detected that he had already become a “Dark Devourer.”

Shen Ye hugged the other party, said nothing, and waited.

The woman spoke again as expected:

“You can transform into human form.”

“Even activated your Dharma Aspect.”

“You are strong among those who die young.”

“But your attributes are too low—such low attributes prove that you are incredibly weak and could die at any moment.”

Shen Ye lowered his gaze.

—But I have 20 points in all attributes!

This is called “incredibly weak”?

Could die at any moment?

Before Shen Ye could say anything more, the woman, holding him, shifted her body.

Shen Ye felt a dizzying sensation.

An unprecedented fear arose in his heart.

—He was falling at an unimaginable speed!

At this moment, if he hit something, he would undoubtedly die.

He narrowed his eyes, then suddenly widened them,

He saw the flesh and blood deep within the great tomb.

—The entire ground was covered in constantly wriggling flesh and blood tissue.

Darkness surrounded them.

Strange worm-like beings with tentacles all over their bodies were resting on the surface of the flesh and blood tissue.

The speed of descent slowed.

He stood firm.

The three-meter-tall woman released him, stepped back a few paces, placed her hand on the flesh and blood, and softly chanted a spell.

The surrounding flesh and blood grew rapidly, and in a short while, it transformed into a giant egg, enveloping Shen Ye within it.

The giant egg gradually filled with a faint glow.

Shen Ye stood in this glow, feeling warm all over, like basking in the sun.

“To prevent you from dying prematurely, this time we will provide you with energy through ultra-limit release.”

“Relax, child.”

“You are safe here. The power of isolation will temporarily cut off your aura, and all enemies outside will not be able to sense you.”

“—As long as you don’t go out.”

After the woman finished speaking, she stepped back and disappeared.

At this moment.

Shen Ye thoroughly understood his situation.

—The other party was treating him as a royal larva!

How boring.

Should I leave?

While he was hesitating, a faint light suddenly appeared, condensing into words:

“A pure cosmic energy wave is changing your attributes.”

“Your potential is being activated.”

“Please continue to stand in the light.”

“Your various attributes have begun to increase.”

Shen Ye quickly read through it.

He wasn’t leaving.

He just stood there in the light, calmly waiting.

If possible—

Staying here for a few years wouldn’t be a problem at all.

…

It was still the same underground passage.

Yun Ni’s corpse lay on the ground, motionless.

Dozens of minutes had passed since Shen Ye encountered the three-meter-tall black woman.

With Shen Ye’s strength, no matter how desperately he resisted—

Dozens of minutes would be enough for the battle to end and everything to settle.

Yun Ni opened her eyes.

She pulled the dagger from her chest and cast a healing spell.

As soon as the wound had somewhat healed, she got up from the ground.

Is Shen Ye dead?

She quietly felt for a moment.

The powerful binding force from the contract was gone, completely undetectable.

She couldn’t sense Shen Ye either.

Perhaps he really was dead.

He died a little too quickly…

Even though she had been very careful, the power of the “door” was still not in her hands.

What a pity.

But there was nothing she could do.

Lilith was about to act when she saw a colorful stream of light flash by.

A dizzying sensation.

The next moment.

She landed on the ground.

The ground…

Under the sunlight, she couldn’t help but squint her eyes and look around.

The entire Xirang High School had been razed to the ground.

This was the Dharma Realm.

So she couldn’t see how much the outside reality had been attacked.

“Hello.”

Lilith bowed to the young girl opposite her.

To be able to pull herself up from deep underground in an instant, ignoring all physical obstacles, and evading all detection—

This could only be the Chaos Spirit Light.

Chaos Spirit Light and its master, Song Yinchen, stood before the ruins of the school, looking at her.

“I heard from Chaos Spirit Light that you are now Shen Ye’s maid.”

Song Yinchen said.

“Yes.” Lilith lowered her head and said.

—They still didn’t know that Shen Ye was dead.

“Did he demand that you be his maid, or did you voluntarily become his maid to survive?” Song Yinchen asked.

“He demanded that I be his maid, and I agreed to survive,” Lilith said.

“Did he accept?”

“Yes.”

Lilith said carefully, choosing every word meticulously, striving to avoid all risks.

—Anyway, dead men tell no tales.

The smile on the girl’s face disappeared, and she looked her up and down, asking:

“What have you done for him?”

“Delivered messages, fought, protected classmates,” Lilith said.

“Nothing else?” the girl pressed.

“He tried to hold my hand, but I refused,” Lilith replied.

This body was still intact, untouched by any male.

So—

Holding hands, after all, still had no witnesses after death.

“Did he have ulterior motives?” Chaos Spirit Light guided the question.

“I don’t know his thoughts, but I could only avoid his harassment,” Lilith said with courage.

She saw Song Yinchen pursing her lips, silent.

Song Yinchen was the master of Chaos Spirit Light.

If she wanted to kill herself, but Chaos Spirit Light wouldn’t allow it, then she would still have a chance of survival.

But if Chaos Spirit Light wanted to kill her—

Then there was no hope.

“Did he ever use any violence against you?”

Chaos Spirit Light continued to ask.

Lilith paused slightly, then lowered her eyes and said,

“The way he looked at me made me very uncomfortable; I felt he had ill intentions towards me.”

“Nonsense.” Song Yinchen finally spoke, saying indifferently:

“You’ve killed too many people. Do you remember Yunshan Port?”

“He felt he couldn’t let you go—that’s easy enough to guess.”

Song Yinchen’s tone carried a hint of sarcasm:

“Also, this body of yours is human, but you are a monster. I don’t think he would be interested in monsters.”

Chaos Spirit Light suddenly flashed into the great tomb, then suddenly flashed back.

It wrapped around Song Yinchen’s arm, unmoving.

—And it didn’t continue asking.

Lilith lowered her eyes, also silent.

It seemed that Chaos Spirit Light also hadn’t found Shen Ye.

It should understand that matter now.

—Shen Ye was dead.

Now, continuing to pressure her and interrogate her about her interactions with Shen Ye was meaningless.

Instead, it would make Song Yinchen suspect its intentions.

So it didn’t ask.

Song Yinchen, however, was unaware of this, her gaze falling upon the large hole, and she said:

“Give me an overview of the situation.”

“Yes.”

Lilith described everything in detail.

—She didn’t mention the three-meter-tall woman, nor did she mention Shen Ye’s death.

Song Yinchen sometimes frowned, sometimes smiled, and by the end, she was quickly engrossed by the various challenges Shen Ye had faced.

“Spirit Light, let’s go down too.”

She said.

“Things down here are complicated and dangerous; you’re better off fighting outside,” Chaos Spirit Light said.

“No, I want to fight alongside him,” Song Yinchen insisted.

Without waiting for Chaos Spirit Light’s response, she walked to the large hole carved out by the light pillar and leaped—

In the whistling wind, she shuddered, transforming into a phoenix of flame, plummeting downwards like a streaking light.

Lilith stood still.

She looked up at Chaos Spirit Light, her eyes filled with profound meaning.

“Are there many students down there?”

Chaos Spirit Light asked.

“Over a hundred,” Lilith said.

“Do what you need to do, and afterward, I will no longer concern myself with you,” Chaos Spirit Light said.

“But she has already gone down,” Lilith said.

“I have a spell on you that will send you directly back to your previous location; besides, I will stall her.”

“Hehe, how interesting.”

Lilith said.

Chaos Spirit Light flashed, plunged into the great hole, and chased after Song Yinchen.

A hint of amusement flickered in Lilith’s eyes:

“As a spirit of an artifact, yet wanting to control the life of its wielder, it’s a pity this young girl is not so easily fooled…”

“One day, you will reap what you sow.”

“—You should have chosen Song Qingyun instead; at least her desires are exceptionally strong and clear.”

Lilith muttered softly, a harmless smile still on her face.

A figure flashed in her mind.

Xu Xingke.

What would this strong individual do if he knew everything?

Especially about her escape.

His intention should have been for her to protect Shen Ye, while Chaos Spirit Light wanted her to seduce Shen Ye.

Now Shen Ye was dead.

What would he do?

Lilith was somewhat curious.

“Shen Ye is dead…”

“So, according to Chaos Spirit Light’s suggestion, let’s go play with those children.”

A multicolored glow suddenly erupted from her, enveloping her and making her vanish from the spot.
