Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 273

Strengthen…

Yes, the most urgent matter at hand is to go to hell.

The Underworld Lord, Mictetikasiwa, is helping me condense a Nightmare Aspect.

The mythical term is also about to take shape.

At that time, with the help of Underworld Lord Mictetikasiwa’s aspect, coupled with the power of the mythical term—

Perhaps I can better deal with the Chaos Spirit Light?

The Nightmare Aspect requires the Underworld Lord’s bones.

To integrate a high-level “prefix” into the “true person,” the “Voodoo Boy” term also needs to be further upgraded.

—All of this requires going to hell!

The Nine Aspects await their harvest in hell!

Shen Ye peeled back the layers, gradually finding the core of the problem.

Suddenly.

Rows of faint characters quietly appeared in the darkness:

“Sealing event concluded.”

“The Dharma Realm has made its final confirmation.”

“In view of your actions, the Dharma Realm grants you a new term:”

“Soft and glutinous fragrant rice.”

“Purple term (one in ten thousand).”

“Description: When you gain the favor of a woman, to the extent that no one can make her betray you, you can gain 1 free attribute point per day.”

“Evaluation: In this entire sealing event, the legendary Spirit of Magic ??? was hidden on you, and the exceptionally talented Song Yinchen was willing to give up the artifact to help you. These two noble women were key to your success.”

“Of course, you also played a crucial role, so this term is purple.”

“You can keep this evaluative term to upgrade it in the future; or you can devour this evaluative term to gain basic attribute points.”

Shen Ye was stunned.

Soft and glutinous fragrant rice?

You’re saying I’m a mooch—is this what the Dharma Realm should be doing?

“I want to appeal! How can there be such a disgusting term!”

Shen Ye said furiously.

A faint light appeared:

“The judgment of the Dharma Realm is sacred and supreme, and will never be changed. I advise you not to delude yourself.”

“Using women’s favor to gain attribute points is objectifying women,” Shen Ye said coldly.

The faint light reappeared:

“The Dharma Realm has humbly accepted your suggestion.”

“The current term has been renamed to:”

“Keeping a mistress.”

“—Cannot be modified again.”

Keeping a mistress?

…I never thought I’d have a place in this category!

Brother, I haven’t been married in two lifetimes.

And now you’re giving me “keeping a mistress”?

What will my teachers think if they see this?

What about others?

Shen Ye clutched his forehead, feeling a sense of helplessness.

I worked so hard to seal the Emperor Species, and all I got was this term?

Although it mainly relied on the power of the seal, and Song Yinchen saved my life;

Although the purple term is not bad, and I can get 1 additional free attribute point every day—

But I have my reputation! ! !

Shen Ye looked up and saw that the terms above his head were particularly jarring.

They were like a bunch of swaggering hooligans.

Although the Lifeless Lord can hide terms, enemies that are too powerful are not subject to this restriction!

Will I be exposed because of these terms in the future?

This is almost bound to happen!

Magagou has already seen me, and the Nine Aspects are even more so. Plus, with the Earl of Evernight City in the Nightmare World, my movements will only become more easily exposed in the future.

Besides, these terms are too “social,” they really affect my image!

Shen Ye’s gaze moved, sweeping past the arrogant and cool terms, and landed on the “?? True Person” term in the corner.

Mythical term.

It had been waiting because there was no suitable prefix.

…So pathetic.

No.

This must be resolved, immediately!

Shen Ye gritted his teeth and whispered, “What will it cost to upgrade the term ‘Voodoo Boy’?”

Faint small characters quickly appeared:

“Devouring two or more purple terms, or paying all your free attribute points, can upgrade the special brother term ‘Voodoo Boy’ by one level.”

Shen Ye said, “I can’t give up the purple terms. Take all my free attribute points and upgrade ‘Voodoo Boy’!”

In an instant.

On his personal attribute panel, all free attribute points returned to zero.

A faint light flashed quickly, showing the upgrade effect of the term “Voodoo Boy”:

“Congratulations.”

“Brother term: Voodoo Boy has been upgraded.”

“Voodoo Boy.”

“Purple level (one in ten thousand), self-growing term.”

“Description: Forcibly merges up to four terms or items (of the same category). They will merge into a new term or item, and an evolution effect will occur during the merging.”

“If you can perform more praiseworthy brotherly deeds, this term will grow into a higher-level term.”

Item!

Now, not only terms, but also items can be fused.

Moreover, an “evolution” effect will occur during the fusion.

Then let’s do it!

I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Shen Ye took a deep breath, looking up at his terms.

“Merge terms: Dine-and-Dasher, Honey Trap, Bloody Combatant, Keeping a Mistress.”

He commanded.

In an instant.

“Voodoo Boy” emitted a dazzling purple light, enveloping the four terms Shen Ye had chosen.

—These four terms were too conspicuous.

The dine-and-dash incident was even brought up by the white-haired old Taoist.

Not to mention the honey trap.

My teacher probably wouldn’t say anything about “Bloody Combatant,” but this term is also a dangerous term that “requires parental supervision to interact with you.”

And finally, keeping a mistress.

Morally corrupt!

Brothers!

Girls will be wary just by seeing this term. How will I ever mooch—no, how will I interact with the opposite sex in the future?

—Might as well merge them!

Shen Ye thought silently.

About a few minutes later.

The four terms disappeared simultaneously.

A new term appeared above his head, emitting a soft golden light.

This golden light was gradually forming characters.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred—

The “?? True Person” that had been quietly in the corner suddenly jumped up, bypassed the other terms, and instantly merged itself with the golden light!

“Why is this happening!”

Shen Ye exclaimed.

Along with his confusion, lines of small characters quickly refreshed in the void:

“Four terms have been merged and evolved.”

“This is a beneficial evolution, so the basic attribute increase brought by the four terms will not be canceled due to the merge.”

“Congratulations.”

“You have obtained a new term:”

“Sin City.”

“The compatibility (resonance) of this term is extremely suitable for ‘True Person’.”

“They have decided to be together.”

“Thus, your mythical term has gained a suitable prefix and is about to be completed!”

Shen Ye’s heart pounded, filled with extreme apprehension.

Big brother!

I spent all my free attribute points, plus four terms, and it was so hard to merge them!

It’s fine if you’re together, but can you please pay attention to your image when you appear?

What I mean is—

Can you please make “Sin City” a little less ostentatious?

Please!

A few breaths later.

The light on the term faded, and the characters began to become clear.

Shen Ye’s heart was anxious. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to maintain his composure before looking up.

He saw a red term floating above his head:

“‘Danger’ True Person.”

“Red term (mythical level).”

“Description: Use your mind to place ‘Danger’ above a target’s head, wait a few minutes patiently, and then you can mourn for them.”

“Can only be used on one target at a time.”

“Evaluation: It’s unbelievable that the four terms used for merging were all of the ‘sin’ category, and they created a联动(linkage) effect, climbing to a higher level in the evolutionary merge.”

“The ‘True Person’ term, condensed from the power of human civilization, is the true value of the Hun Tian Sect.”

“—You have an illness, and if not treated, it will deepen.”

Shen Ye’s racing heart settled down.

This term…

Although from the description, it’s similar to the steps for instant noodles, it actually feels quite eerie and ruthless.

Think about it.

During a fight, if you place the character “Danger” above the opponent’s head, and wait a few minutes, will the opponent die?

It actually sounds quite exciting to imagine.

…I’ll find an enemy to try it on as soon as possible.

Alright.

Things are pretty much over.

Time to find my teacher!

Shen Ye pulled out a card and asked, “Teacher, where are you?”

Soon.

Xu Xingke replied:

“Underground lake.”

Go!

Shen Ye traversed the crisscrossing underground passages, finally finding the familiar path.

Ahead.

The underground river flowed slowly, with several large rocks towering over it.

A person stood on a rock, smoking.

“Teacher!”

Shen Ye landed.

“Hmm, aren’t you alive and kicking? Why did the Chaos Spirit Light tell me you were dead?” Xu Xingke asked.

Shen Ye was stunned.

The Chaos Spirit Light had just run off, and it went to find his teacher?

“It’s a liar, teacher, don’t fall for it,” Shen Ye quickly said.

He recounted what had just happened to him and Song Yinchen.

Xu Xingke listened attentively.

Only after everything was said did he nod:

“The Chaos Spirit Light took away the true form of that bug—it turns out it told me about you just to distract me.”

Shen Ye’s heart sank.

This Chaos Spirit Light was too treacherous. He wondered if Song Yinchen would be able to handle it in the future.

If not, he would have to persuade her to terminate the contract.

Also—

Now that he had seen his teacher, it was only right to clarify things with him!

“By the way, teacher, the Lord of the Weeping Demon Prison is dead,” Shen Ye said.

“Only dead now?” Xu Xingke raised an eyebrow, looking a little surprised.

“Ah?” This time, it was Shen Ye’s turn to be surprised.

“The Chaos Spirit Light said she would give her to me. Teacher, you knew about this, right?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes, I agreed,” Xu Xingke said.

“Then you—”

“I thought you would just kill her. It’s a good way to practice, anyway,” Xu Xingke said lightly.

“But I thought you had some other intention in giving her to me, so I kept waiting to ask you before acting,” Shen Ye said.

“I promised that she would give me information, and I wouldn’t kill her, so I had to let you kill her,” Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye froze.

So the teacher’s original intention was for him to kill her!

The Chaos Spirit Light hadn’t said that when it brought Lilith.

Damn it.

Xu Xingke took a puff of his cigarette, exhaling smoke rings:

“But it’s not that simple to kill her. Sword Maiden said she would revive.”

“Yes, teacher,” Shen Ye replied.

—This time, Lilith probably wouldn’t revive.

She had already become part of the Nest Banner.

“Teacher, is the battle here over?” Shen Ye asked.

“The enemy has retreated comprehensively, and all your classmates have returned to the surface. Only I thought you were dead and was mourning you here, but who knew you came back alive,” Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye looked down at the ground and indeed saw three cigarettes lit in the sand.

“Teacher, I don’t smoke.”

“Understood. Next time, I’ll burn paper money for you.”
