Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 276

The benefits of taking down Tian Luo are immense!

Jiu Xiang is the “Lord of Living Souls,” and once he devours Tian Luo, he will undoubtedly become the number one in the Five Desires World!

Such a good opportunity—

If Jiu Xiang can’t seize it, then it’s not worth worrying about at all.

“My Lord, what should we do?”

Shen Ye asked.

Jiu Xiang looked at him, his expression becoming extremely serious.

“Baxter, I usually loaf around and never fight with Tian Luo and the others. Do you know why?”

“My Lord, I don’t know,” Shen Ye said.

“Because of the ‘door’! Mo Jialuo holds the power of the ‘door’, and this ‘door’ ability will become incredibly powerful in the future, so I don’t contend with them.”

Jiu Xiang said through gritted teeth, as if venting something.

“My Lord, I don’t understand… what exactly is Lord Mo’s door,” Shen Ye interjected.

“You don’t need to know, his door is very powerful.”

Damn it.

Is this how you treat your subordinates?

But it’s nothing.

After all, you couldn’t see through Mo Jialuo’s fake door.

The person with real door ability is right in front of you, yet you still underestimate him.

Shen Ye was silently complaining, but then heard Jiu Xiang continue:

“I am irreconcilable with Tian Luo, so I planted a chess piece in the Nightmare World long ago…”

“However, because I’m in hell, it’s a bit troublesome to control, so the progress hasn’t been good, and I haven’t been able to prevent Tian Luo from doing anything.”

“Now you go try it.”

“Thank you, My Lord. I’ll go to the Nightmare World now,” Shen Ye said happily.

“Wait a moment, Baxter, what is your goal this time?” Jiu Xiang asked.

“Of course, it’s the entire Nightmare World,” Shen Ye said in a deep voice, his eyes profound, “The entire Nightmare World belongs to you, My Lord. No one else should even think of touching it.”

“You little rascal, you’re even greedier than me!”

Jiu Xiang cursed, then suddenly burst out laughing, throwing an object to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye hurriedly caught it.

It was a heavy token, made entirely of gold, with the Holy Violet insignia carved on it.

“My Lord, what is this?” Shen Ye hesitated.

“If you do things beautifully, I, Jiu Xiang, am not a stingy person. This is a special reward for you,” Jiu Xiang said.

Reward?

“Using this token, you can transform into the person I designate and act as them.”

“Just inject spiritual power to change your appearance.”

Jiu Xiang said.

“Yes, My Lord! But who will this turn me into?” Shen Ye couldn’t help but ask.

“The King of the Human Holy Violet Empire—I secretly killed him—and one of my heads is impersonating him.”

Jiu Xiang grinned and said, “Baxter, it’s your turn now.”

Shen Ye’s heart trembled. Just as he was about to control his expression, he suddenly reacted and let his face change abruptly.

“The King!” he gasped.

Jiu Xiang observed his reaction and laughed heartily:

“How’s this reward? I’m letting you be the Human King. You can do whatever you want, kill whoever you want.”

“Thank you for the reward, My Lord!” Shen Ye said gratefully, “What do you want me to do with this identity?”

His gratitude was genuine.

His question was also genuine.

Jiu Xiang was quite satisfied with his attitude and lowered his voice:

“The most mysterious in that world is the Earth Mother, the last god of the world. Even Tian Luo couldn’t find her. You must find a way to find her!”

“And then?” Shen Ye asked.

“Kill her, seize all her treasures, then don’t move, and wait for me.”

“Yes, My Lord!”

Shen Ye thought for a moment, then added, “If I hold this identity, many things might be handled in my own way, and some things you’ve done in the early stages might change. I’m telling you this in advance.”

“Of course, I trust you to do things well,” Jiu Xiang patted his shoulder.

In fact, he hadn’t done much himself.

Tian Luo was watching too closely.

Now was a good time to throw this mess to Baxter.

Let him do as he pleases.

“Baxter, you are loyal and principled—get the Nightmare World for me, and I won’t treat you unfairly!”

“Yes, My Lord! But My Lord, I still have some information to gather in hell. I’ll go to the Nightmare World as soon as I’m done,” Shen Ye said.

“Just don’t dawdle too much, I’m off,” Jiu Xiang said nonchalantly.

It soared into the sky with countless heads, quickly disappearing.

In mid-air.

Jiu Xiang flew, reviewing everything that had happened.

Tian Luo was seriously injured…

So, what about Tai Yan?

Why didn’t Tai Yan help him?

Although Baxter didn’t lie—

But Baxter was just a small vampire, and it was inevitable that he would overlook some issues and have limited access to information.

If he went to Tian Luo immediately, it might attract everyone’s attention.

First, he would go to Tai Yan to sound him out!

Jiu Xiang pulled out a bottle of Calamity’s Source, took a sip, and instantly vanished from mid-air.

A flicker in the void.

Within the Five Desires World.

He gently landed on the ground.

This was a barren world.

Destroyed vehicles were everywhere, houses had collapsed, and weeds grew rampant.

No living creatures were in sight.

On the ground.

Dense crowds of heads roared like a tsunami.

—They sensed Jiu Xiang’s return!

Looking across the entire world—

Aside from a very few areas, all the plains, cities, mountains, canyons, and even the surface of the sea were covered with heads.

All life in the entire world had been devoured, becoming part of Jiu Xiang.

—These were all Jiu Xiang’s heads!

Jiu Xiang surveyed his surroundings, a look of emotion on his face.

“I’m the most diligent… and I should be the strongest…”

He determined his direction and flew towards Tai Yan’s residence.

…

Hell.

On the wilderness.

Only Shen Ye remained.

He weighed the token in his hand, pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped up.

Good opportunity!

“Big Skeleton, let’s hurry and collect your mother’s bones!”

“What! Is there still time?”

“I said what I said to Jiu Xiang just now for what’s coming next!”

“Let’s go!”

Now to the Brazing Castle.

Shen Ye opened a door and stepped through.

—This side of the door was the second coordinate point, where the second Baxter had “sacrificed himself,” and also a wilderness not too far from Brazing Castle.

He skillfully mounted his motorcycle and drove straight to the outside of the castle.

He showed his general’s guard identity.

He passed through without hindrance.

Then, in a secluded alley, he pulled out a key.

The key to the Boneyard.

—This was given to him by the Underworld Lord Mictetikasiwa, disguised as a handmaiden, the last time he came.

Seven hours…

Big Skeleton’s voice suddenly rang out:

“Shen Ye, I’ve never asked anything of you before.”

“This time I’m asking you, you must collect all my mother’s bones, otherwise she might be captured by the enemy!”

Shen Ye was silent for a moment.

Time was of the essence.

Not just to save the Underworld Lord.

He also needed to quickly acquire the Nightmare Form to be qualified to participate in the upcoming events.

He had to go!

“We’re going to the Boneyard now.”

Shen Ye put away his motorcycle and walked out.

Following the sensation from the key, he soon found the tomb.

The tomb was actually locked by an iron door.

A strong magical fluctuation emanated from the door.

No one was around.

Shen Ye took out the key, opened the door, and slipped inside.

Neatly arranged tombstones filled the cemetery.

Shen Ye took out the bone fragment.

The bone fragment immediately emitted a faint fluctuation, pointing in one direction.

Over there!

Shen Ye’s footsteps were swift. At one point, he suddenly pressed his hand to his sword and whispered:

“Come, come, I am a tombstone.”

After speaking, he remained still.

He waited for a breath.

Two soldiers, armed with swords and shields and clad in full armor, turned from the other side of the cemetery.

They looked around, then stopped in front of Shen Ye.

“Did you hear a sound just now?”

A young soldier said.

“Shhh, quiet! The ones buried here are all important figures. Their souls went to purgatory, and only their soul bodies are buried here,” another older soldier immediately warned.

“Then we—”

“As long as it’s not a thief, just pretend you don’t know anything.”

“Damn it, I didn’t expect to encounter something like this in hell. I was already scared of this.”

“What are you scared of? At most, it’s just a haunting.”

“You saying that makes me even more scared…”

The two walked further and further away.

Shen Ye waited for a while, then continued to follow the bone fragment’s guidance, soon arriving in front of a solitary tomb.

The bone fragment left Shen Ye’s hand and floated onto the tombstone.

The tombstone immediately cracked open.

A pair of crystal-clear, jade-like bone hands appeared before Shen Ye.

A faint light appeared beside the arm:

“The bone hand of the Underworld Lord Mictetikasiwa.”

Found it!

Shen Ye collected the bone hand and turned, heading towards the denser part of the cemetery.

Faint light appeared as small characters:

“It has begun.”

“You only have seven hours to collect the Underworld Lord’s bones. Exceeding this time will result in failure, and she will forever remain in purgatory, unable to appear in hell or the human world again.”

In the ethereal.

That sensation grew stronger.

Yes.

A thought arose from the bone, telling him that the next bone’s hiding place was in the square of Brazing Castle.

It was in the hands of an elf.

Shen Ye’s figure flashed, landing among the dense tombstones, and he spoke:

“Everyone, please tell me, is there a deeply sinful elf in the first layer of hell, in the square of Brazing Castle?”

“Shadow Whisper” activated!

He waited for a breath.

A voice suddenly sounded from beneath a tombstone:

“Elf? Could it be that guy?”

Someone from beneath another tombstone chimed in:

“Yes, that powerful guy.”

Again, from beneath another tombstone, a cold sneer sounded:

“No one ever fought him, so he could only find a sense of self-existence by harming his own kind.”

A murmur of whispers came from beneath the tombstones.

Where was the time to waste here!

He had to be quick!

“Everyone! Stop chattering, just tell me, who is that guy?”

Shen Ye asked loudly.

—These guys were all gods when they were alive, they must know something!

All other sounds disappeared.

A voice then said, “Among the elves, there is a corrupted soul-eater. I clearly know he is in that square.”

“Who is it?” Shen Ye asked.

“Elves make their homes in trees, befriend herbivores in the forest, and worship the moon and night sky—”

“But what that soul-eater loved to do most was eat the herbivores who trusted him, and he also enjoyed killing his own kind.”

“He destroyed several tribes, and in the end, he even killed two famous ancient knowledge trees.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye decided immediately:

“What is this guy good at?”

“All-rounder! His combat skills are quite superb.”

“I’m going to kill him—does he have any weaknesses?” Shen Ye asked again.

Most of the tombstones became silent.

Finally, a voice emerged from a tombstone entwined with many emerald green leaves:

“No weaknesses!”
