Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 266

The woman pondered for a few breaths, then spoke:

“There’s a special challenge, almost an impossible task for you. If you can complete it, I’ll give you this chance to stand on my side.”

“Please tell me,” Shen Ye said.

“Go resolve a disturbance—there’s something causing trouble in the seal, and you need to calm it down,” the woman said.

This was the only chance.

If he missed this, he didn’t know how difficult it would be to get involved with the Destiny Seal again.

Then—

“I’ll try,” Shen Ye said.

“Remember, make sure it doesn’t attack, just stall for a bit of time, and you’ll succeed—you must stall for time.”

“Understood.”

“Go!” the woman whispered.

Shen Ye instantly vanished from his spot.

Only the woman remained in the darkness.

She closed her eyes slightly, seemingly contemplating something, or perhaps nothing at all.

Strands of light peeled away from her body.

Light.

It fell from her and plunged into the depths of the darkness.

She became much dimmer.

…

Meanwhile.

Shen Ye appeared in a wide underground plaza.

Along with him came a familiar cry of surprise:

“Shen Ye Gege!”

Shen Ye was fully prepared for battle, paused at the sound, and turned his head.

The tall and beautiful girl.

—Song Yinchen!

“Why are you here?” Shen Ye moved towards her, nervously observing his surroundings.

“I heard there was trouble with Xirang, so I came to help,” the girl said.

“Is that—Chaos Spirit Light?”

“Yes, it’s very angry and trying its best to destroy this place.”

Above the plaza, the Chaos Spirit Light continuously drew out sharp, colorful lines, piercing through the entire underground world.

The thing causing trouble in the seal…

Refers to Chaos Spirit Light.

Shen Ye immediately understood.

But Chaos Spirit Light was not so easy to deal with; he couldn’t just jump out and stop it, that might be counterproductive.

He had an idea.

Since it was about stalling for time—

“I have something to say to Chaos Spirit Light, can you call it over?”

“Ah, okay.”

Song Yinchen called out to the sky.

Chaos Spirit Light indeed descended, stopping in front of Shen Ye.

“It’s you, kid. What’s wrong? Do you need something?”

It said in a low voice.

“I’m sorry, the maid you gave me is dead,” Shen Ye said.

“Dead?” Chaos Spirit Light was a bit surprised.

Not only it, but even Song Yinchen was astonished.

“That’s not right, I just saw her on the surface a little while ago,” Song Yinchen said.

“That maid should be very strong, how could she die?” Chaos Spirit Light also asked.

—It had forgotten what just happened.

At this moment, the dense void slashes in the sky began to recover rapidly.

Shen Ye spoke:

“There’s an emperor-grade cosmic worm in this great tomb; it likes to eat world-like life forms. Lilith was eaten by it.”

Emperor-grade…

Song Yinchen and Chaos Spirit Light were both startled.

“So that’s it, I’d like to meet that worm,” Chaos Spirit Light said.

“You can’t find it now; it’s been pursuing a certain existence deep within this great tomb. I don’t even know how powerful it has become,” Shen Ye said.

“It can’t be a Heavenly King, can it?” Song Yinchen interjected.

“What is a Heavenly King? Like Chaos Spirit Light?” Shen Ye deliberately brought Chaos Spirit Light into the conversation.

“Seven realms of law, awakened the fourth professional skill—that is, the legendary Star Divine Skill. Such beings are called Heavenly Kings,” Chaos Spirit Light said.

Shen Ye saw that it seemed to have forgotten its previous emotions, so he said:

“By the way, I’m trying to help now, to calm everything down here.”

“Calm down? How to calm down?” Song Yinchen asked curiously.

Shen Ye then explained the matter of the emperor-grade cosmic worm and the Destiny Seal.

“Since that’s the case, Spirit Light, let’s not attack this place for now.”

Song Yinchen said.

“…Okay.” Chaos Spirit Light reluctantly agreed.

After all, maintaining the seal was maintaining the safety of the great tomb.

The great tomb is safe.

The humans on the surface are safe.

This was Song Yinchen’s basic request as a human, and Chaos Spirit Light could not go against it.

“Alright, we are all on the side of the Destiny Seal now, so it’s best to quickly find a way to calm everything down.”

Shen Ye said.

Song Yinchen immediately nodded and said, “Shen Ye Gege is right!”

At this moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared around Shen Ye.

He was about to be teleported!

“Yinchen, we’ll talk later,” Shen Ye said immediately.

“Wait a moment, Shen Ye Gege, have you been trying to hold that maid’s hand and she refused?” Song Yinchen quickly asked.

“How could that be!” Shen Ye waved his hand.

“Hmph, it’s hard to say, men among humans are all lustful,” Chaos Spirit Light said.

Song Yinchen didn’t speak, just looked at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye showed a look of deep resentment.

Song Yinchen covered her eyes, and whispered, “If it’s really not possible, let’s talk about it next time.”

The teleportation arrived!

Shen Ye finally pulled out a mobile phone, and his expression suddenly became cheerful.

He shoved the phone into Song Yinchen’s hand and loudly said:

“It’s nothing—here! See for yourself, I’m not a pervert.”

Swish!

He was teleported away.

Song Yinchen immediately opened the phone and watched with great interest.

Only after watching all the videos did she let out a satisfied sigh and say:

“Spirit Light, you misunderstood him.”

“…That kid, all he knows is how to record videos,” Chaos Spirit Light said grumpily.

“Spirit Light, let’s help this seal together! As long as we seal that bug, our world will be safe,” Song Yinchen said excitedly.

“You’re wrong,” Chaos Spirit Light said.

“Wrong?”

“I can feel that the Destiny Seal is about to collapse,” Chaos Spirit Light sneered, “The emperor-grade cosmic insect race will break the seal and enter the true burial ground within the great tomb.”

“—This is already irreversible.”

A complex look flashed in Song Yinchen’s eyes.

You know everything.

Were you actually helping the emperor-grade cosmic worm by attacking the seal just now?

…

Darkness.

That “lonely peak”.

Shen Ye landed and looked up at the 300-meter-long Spirit of the artifact in mid-air.

“How about it? I did it!”

He said excitedly.

The woman looked down at him, her expression a little complicated:

“If you could have appeared a few years earlier, it would have been good, but at this moment… it’s already too late.”

“Why?” Shen Ye asked.

“That emperor-grade worm is about to pass through the seal and reach the depths of the great tomb, and I will also completely collapse.”

Suddenly, there was a tremor all around.

A kind of evil, tyrannical, and bloody aura swept through the void, rising towards the surface of the earth.

The voice of the Spirit of the artifact continued to sound:

“Too many ancient legends, too many incidents from the previous era, are now scattered in the universe, turned to dust, not worth mentioning again.”

“I’ll just briefly tell you the outcome:”

“When it reaches the burial ground, in order to drive that great thing, it needs to feed heavily to replenish energy.”

“This planet, and all the surrounding living planets, will all be gnawed clean by it.”

“From then on, the alternation of eras will not be able to affect its birth and death; it will be the ultimate winner.”

“It will become the King of all beings.”

Rumble—

In the darkness.

Invisible, subtle, and dense insect chirps echoed back and forth.

Shen Ye heard a sense of excitement.

This was his inherent perception of his own kind, as an emperor-grade creature.

Correspondingly, the 300-meter-tall Spirit of the artifact glowed with a fading light.

These scattered lights peeled away from her body, continuously disintegrating, drifting, and perishing in the dark abyss.

Darkness lit up, then extinguished.

The Spirit of the artifact let out a long sigh.

Shen Ye stood there, watching this scene, also a little stunned.

A touch of bewilderment flashed through his eyes.

Countless past fragments flashed before his eyes, finally forming that scene.

Zhongzhou City.

Under the mottled ancient city walls.

The Lord of the Lamenting Demon Prison stood there, looking at him, and shook his head:

“It’s a pity you don’t know… it’s already the endgame.”

“What’s the saying—”

“Born at the wrong time.”

Ridiculous.

Some gods, oh, they knew everything long ago, but remained silent.

Is it because the struggles of sentient beings are ridiculous?

But the proud god is dead, turned into a banner in someone else’s nest.

“Hey—”

Shen Ye looked up and waved at the 300-meter-tall Spirit of the artifact:

“Before you collapse, can you give me some useful information?”

The Spirit of the artifact showed surprise, looking down at him.

Shen Ye looked up at her without flinching and loudly said:

“Don’t look at me with that expression—”

“To be honest, I’m the sect leader of the Hun Tian Gate—our sect has been fighting it since ancient times, and has never won.”

“I’m the last one left.”

“So before you die, can you give me a little advice?”

The Spirit of the artifact finally couldn’t help but ask:

“What are you going to do?”

“—Of course, try to deal with it.”

Shen Ye looked at the other party’s body, which was constantly turning into light specks and scattering, and hastily cupped his hands in a respectful bow:

“Please, help me out.”

“I represent all humanity in saying we don’t want to die. Can you give me some clues? I’ll definitely give you a five-star review.”

As the words fell.

The Spirit of the artifact suddenly showed a thoughtful expression and whispered:

“You said you’re from the Hun Tian Gate? That’s not right, I remember they all died out.”

She raised a hand.

At the bottom of the void and dark abyss.

One after another, weapons and armor flew up, appearing around Shen Ye, revolving around him like a ring.

“These are all weapons left behind by the professionals of the Hun Tian Gate after they died in battle.”

“If you are truly from the Hun Tian Gate—”

“They should be close to you.”

Shen Ye looked at the countless blood-stained weapons, and a sense of connection gradually emerged in his heart.

He could feel them!

Buzz—buzz—

All the weapons hummed at him!

His current resonance was 200 points, plus 20 points from the Moonlit system, that’s 220 points!

Not only that.

The Sect Leader’s Manual automatically flew out and opened to a page.

In an instant.

All the sect’s weapons were collected into it.

After doing this, the manual flew back and landed in Shen Ye’s hand.

Shen Ye himself was startled, looking down at the manual, only to see two lines of text appear on it:

“The sect’s professions are divided by weapons. Now all types of weapons have been collected, which can help you evolve moves and achieve full mastery.”

“—More skills are never a burden.”

In the darkness.

The voice of the Spirit of the artifact sounded again:

“Indeed… I’ve seen that book, you really are a descendant of the Hun Tian Gate…”

Her tone became much kinder.

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, he saw faint light gathering in the darkness, forming lines of small text:

“You have escaped a deadly danger.”

“Rating entry: The Undying Boy is activated.”

“All your attributes increase by two points.”

“—This time you were in a completely uncontrollable destructive situation, and your words and actions created new variables.”

All attributes increase by two points!

But why?

Shen Ye felt some doubt.

But then the 300-meter-tall Spirit of the artifact spoke:

“According to the original decision, I would unleash all my power to destroy the entire underground great tomb, which would cause the greatest damage to the emperor-grade cosmic worm.”

“After that, I would dissipate, unable to stop it any longer.”

“However, since you are a descendant of the Hun Tian Gate, and seeing your determination, I have decided to try another path—”

The Spirit of the artifact trembled all over, transforming into billions of glittering lights, scattering into the darkness.

Such brilliant light immediately illuminated everything.

Shen Ye broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he strongly pleaded and revealed his identity.

Otherwise, everyone in the great tomb would have been dead by now.

Light swept all around.

He immediately saw that the isolated peak he was standing on was indeed the finger of a giant statue.

The statue was so massive, it was like an entire landmass.

Its other fingers, originally hidden in the darkness and unseen, were actually each as large as a steep mountain range.

—Just like the finger Shen Ye was standing on right now.

In the darkness.

All the light fell.

They draped over Shen Ye, like a long cloak woven from flames.

“You need to change your body back, use the one with the emperor worm pattern!”

The voice of the Spirit of the artifact sounded.

Accompanied by her voice, those massive fingers began to move slowly, forming a ritual seal.
