Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 297

Nightmare World.

Human territory, underground secret passage.

“Hahahahaha!”

Shen Ye suddenly burst into laughter.

The lines of the Seal of Fate all over his body became incredibly clear, and the sealed Insect Race Descent Rune also began to emit an eerie glow.

“I’ve been dead for ten thousand years… yet you still fantasize about killing me…”

“Dream on!”

A low shout.

The fiery light spear immediately collapsed, turning into countless fleeting lines of light, disappearing into the void.

With the spear gone, Shen Ye immediately returned to normal.

—This spell that spanned ten thousand years was defeated by an Emperor Species?

Shen Ye was incomparably shocked.

He suddenly found that the seals and descent runes that had appeared on his body were all hidden again.

It’s over?

Taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, he opened the door and returned to the palace in the “Five Desires” world.

He looked around.

Nine Aspects hadn’t returned yet.

Just enough time for him to catch his breath.

“Spirit of Magic sister, just now it actually controlled my body directly? That’s not right, I have a seal on me, and Song Yinchen even strengthened it—”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but say.

The female Spirit of Magic‘s voice then sounded:

“It used all its strength. In fact, this temporary breakthrough couldn’t succeed at all. It was just to deal with that light spear!”

“Will there be any hidden dangers?” Shen Ye asked.

“You won’t have any hidden dangers, it will,” the female Spirit of Magic said.

Shen Ye then relaxed and reached out to retrieve “Yaotai”.

Only then did he see that “Yaotai” was not a tablet computer, but a smooth, warm, square white jade.

That long-lost voice sounded from the white jade:

“You finally found me, and you opened the entire spell, allowing me to gain power…”

“I couldn’t kill the bug,” Shen Ye said regretfully.

—Although he liked the bug’s power, the bug had once killed all the disciples of the Huntian Sect and emptied the entire world of people.

Compared to power, he wanted it to die more.

Yaotai’s voice sounded again:

“Do you think this spell is over? No, it’s just beginning.”

“Half an hour later.”

“It will further draw on the power of the Nightmare World and attack again.”

Shen Ye was startled.

Good heavens, it’s going to happen again?

All his power had been drained just now, and it hadn’t recovered yet.

If it drained again, wouldn’t he be directly drained to death?

What to do?

“Unseal the Earth Mother. She can help you avoid this situation and even resolve the crisis in the Nightmare World,” Yaotai added.

“Hey, I heard you’re a Nightmare Weapon. Can’t you just unleash some divine power or something?” Shen Ye asked.

“It’s not yet time for me to exert my power. You need to wait—at least until this matter is complete… You will see everything,” Yaotai said.

Shen Ye shrugged.

This thing is so mysterious, he doesn’t know if it’s useful or not.

The void suddenly opened.

The female Nine Aspects, Chatelet, appeared quietly and said quickly:

“Baxter, something big must have happened in the Nightmare World. You need to go back immediately, otherwise Mogakou might discover the problem at any time.”

Shen Ye was startled and hesitated, “But sir, didn’t we agree not to contact Mogakou for now?”

“Listen, I need you by his side now to gather intelligence for me,” Chatelet said.

Shen Ye looked at her fierce and anxious expression, immediately stopped asking questions, and said:

“Yes, sir.”

Chatelet nodded, drank the calamity fluid again, and said:

“Come quickly.”

Shen Ye also drank the fluid and left with her.

Nightmare World.

The two appeared near the Marchioness’s castle.

—Although the Calamity Origin Fluid could travel between two realms, there was always some deviation in position.

Shen Ye was about to climb over the wall and enter the castle, but Chatelet had already appeared on the wall, looking down at him.

“Go, go to Mogakou‘s side. If anything happens, I’ll contact you again.”

“Yes, sir—please give me that centaur.”

“Okay.”

After a few minutes.

Carla appeared on the street outside.

She maintained her elven form.

Shen Ye walked up and whispered:

“Come with me.”

“Okay.”

The two walked one after another, crossing the street and leaving the castle.

Chatelet stood on the wall, her face gradually becoming gloomy and crazed, her killing intent almost uncontrollable.

“What have I forgotten?”

She clutched her head, slowly squatting down:

“Why do I think Mogakou is my enemy… but my memory is blank, damn it…”

A chaotic and incomparable aura rose from her body.

On her back, heads gradually protruded, about to form completely.

Chatelet could no longer control her body and stumbled, falling into the wall.

Eternal Night City.

On the street leading to the palace.

Shen Ye hadn’t gone far when he was immediately surrounded by several undead.

“Lord Baxter! We finally found you!”

“The Regent Prince invites you!”

Ten minutes later.

Mogakou sat on the throne, looking at Shen Ye, and then at Karla beside him.

His subordinates stood below the throne, lined up in two rows, scrutinizing Shen Ye.

—He’s too young!

This new captain of the guard looked so immature.

What did he do to earn Lord Mogakou‘s recognition?

“Damn Baxter, I thought you’d disappear underground like a snot-nosed worm.”

Mogakou glared at Shen Ye and shouted.

“Sir, I asked Prince Norton to see you, and I sent Rosalia to investigate the matter of Tian Luo, and I myself found this centaur—Carla, she is the Earth Mother’s attendant,” Shen Ye said.

Mogakou stopped pretending, pointed at him, and shook his head, smiling.

At first.

He thought Baxter was deliberately slacking off.

But look, he clearly outlined three directions and accomplished three major tasks.

This efficiency is simply off the charts!

In contrast, his group of subordinates, apart from verbally criticizing Baxter, accomplished nothing.

“Let others interrogate the centaur. You have a new task.”

Mogakou‘s head glowed with words.

“No need. The centaur is my partner now. She listens to me, she’s on my side,” Shen Ye said.

“Impudent! What right do you have to refute the lord’s words? This is the lord’s command!” a subordinate shouted.

Shen Ye looked at the man in surprise, then looked at Mogakou.

Mogakou, however, was looking at Carla.

Indeed, when he said he wanted to hand over the centaur, Carla hid behind Baxter.

Not only that.

Rosalia, the dark elf assassin who had been standing by all this time, also came out and stood beside Baxter.

She pinned the captain of the guard’s badge to Baxter’s chest.

Looking as if she was ready to serve him.

—This Baxter really knows how to get things done.

Besides, centaurs are divine beings. If they are humiliated, they might commit suicide.

They can clearly play a greater role in Baxter’s hands.

Why bother?

“Good, we’ll listen to you on this matter—just as well, we’ll compete to see who finds the whereabouts of the Nightmare Weapon first,” Mogakou said.

“Sir!”

Several attendants turned their heads in surprise.

Shen Ye stood aside, watching the scene with a playful expression.

The choice had just been made.

If Mogakou insisted on handing Carla over to others, he would have a reason to publicly break with him.

Then he could logically abduct Carla and no longer obey Mogakou‘s orders.

Just enough time to hide and deal with Yaotai’s attack on the bugs.

If Mogakou listened to him—

Then continue.

See where it leads.

Perhaps Shen Ye himself didn’t realize that as he interacted with Mogakou and Nine Aspects, he had already begun to seize a bit of initiative in the situation.

“Go negotiate for me.”

Mogakou said, “A group of people from the Death Planet are attacking the ‘Five Desires’ world, but I can’t leave here now. I need to be in command and quickly search for the Nightmare Weapon.”

“You go talk to them. In short, a ceasefire is the best option.”

“Whatever you promise them, once I find the Nightmare Weapon, I’ll break with them, and everything can be denied.”

“Yes, in short, just feign compliance with them and stall for time, that’s right,” Shen Ye said.

“Exactly,” Mogakou nodded.

“Then I’m leaving. Sir, await my news.”

“Okay.”

Shen Ye left the hall with Karla and Rosalia.

Only Mogakou and his subordinates remained.

“Sir, could this fellow be a problem?”

Another subordinate asked.

“No need to say anything. His talent is beyond your imagination. One day, I will promote him to be one of the Five Desires’ strongest,” Mogakou said.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Mogakou began to arrange the subsequent search work.

Through the Tian Luo‘s divine box, he had indeed obtained many clues.

He was already very close to the Nightmare Weapon!

On the other side.

World of Five Desires.

Shen Ye landed, standing on a high platform.

Around him were magnificent buildings.

Two teams of professionals had been waiting for a long time, and now they all knelt on one knee and saluted:

“Greetings, Sir Captain of the Guard!”

“Hmm,” Shen Ye looked at the crowd and asked, “Have the people from the Death World arrived?”

“They have arrived and are massacring our people on the plains. No one can stop them,” a fifth-level expert from the Law Realm said.

“Have you talked to them? About our request for negotiations,” Shen Ye asked.

“We’ve talked a few times, but it had no effect. They said they hadn’t killed enough,” said another sixth-level expert from the Law Realm.

Shen Ye looked around at the crowd, seeing that most of them were fifth or sixth-level experts from the Law Realm. They were all kneeling on one knee, saluting him, their faces more or less showing some indignation.

Ah, yes.

I’m only at the third level of the Law Realm, so it’s normal for everyone to be unconvinced.

“Sir, you have been delegated full responsibility for this matter, so you must have a way. We will now teleport you there.”

Another professional said.

Shen Ye waved his hand and said, “Wait—”

Before he could finish his sentence, the surrounding space fluctuated.

Swish!

He was directly teleported to the battlefield.

Carla and Rosalia were slightly startled, then suddenly reacted simultaneously.

“What are you doing? Lord Baxter hasn’t given the order yet, how dare you teleport him to the battlefield without permission?” Rosalia shouted.

“Our master sent him to do this, we’re just following orders to teleport him there. What’s the problem?” a professional sneered.

“That’s right, he’s going to die anyway—those strong opponents have already killed several negotiators. They kill anyone from our side they see—there’s no way to negotiate.”

“If he dies, it means he didn’t complete the master’s mission.”

“Yes.”

“The master won’t care about a worthless dead man like that.”

Everyone chattered, their gazes extremely provocative.

News had already come from the Nightmare World—

This young vampire named Baxter had received the master’s praise.

If he succeeded in everything, wouldn’t it make everyone else look like they were just slacking off every day?

More importantly, the master would give him more power!

A female voice suddenly sounded:

“With ulterior motives, harming our great cause, don’t blame anyone.”

Two sharp sword lights suddenly bloomed in the crowd, sweeping around with fierce and tyrannical force.

Carla!

This demigod has returned to her true form—

Her upper body is a woman, and her lower body is a horse, nearly 4 meters tall.

She wields a pair of heavy greatswords, striking fiercely in the crowd.

—Without any hesitation, every strike is a killing move!

Screams rose one after another.

“Stop!”

“Damn it, how dare you attack your own people!”

“Stop it, we didn’t mean to—”

“If you keep fighting, the master will surely not spare you!”

“Stop her!”

The professionals were incredulous, drawing their weapons to resist.

—Shouldn’t this kind of thing be a silent loss for the other party, and then appeal after the matter is over?

Once Baxter fails, the master will not care about the details of the matter, and will only abandon this dead guy.

The matter would be over.

But who would have thought that the person Baxter brought would actually make a move directly and start killing among the crowd!

Damn it!

Now it can’t be hidden, the master will definitely be furious when he finds out.

Everyone will be implicated!

Carla killed a round, still feeling not relieved enough, and shouted in a low voice:

“Unleash your Dharma Aspect, Heart of the Earth Holy Fire.”

She put away her two greatswords, drew her longbow, and shot an arrow into the sky.

On the ground.

Within a radius of tens of miles.

Endless lava spewed from the ground, converging into vertically upward lava arrows, densely rising into the sky.

Screams echoed.

Lava arrows pierced through professionals, instantly incinerating them.

Many also unleashed their Dharma Aspects, trying to fight back.

Unfortunately, Carla is a demigod, a peak sixth-level expert in the Law Realm, just one step away from entering the seventh-level Law Realm.

Except for a very few professionals of the same level, everyone else was shot down.

At the same time.

On the battlefield.

Swish—

Shen Ye appeared directly.

“Another one coming to die.”

The man smoked, his body radiating killing intent.

“Fighting is so boring. We can actually talk,” Shen Ye saluted.

—At this moment, he still maintained the appearance of the vampire Baxter, so Xu Xingke didn’t recognize him for a while.

Shen Ye, however, knew his teacher’s style, and thought to himself that if he didn’t make things clear, he would die.

He immediately continued:

“To be honest, our defense system is like a powerful professional. He holds a powerful weapon, aiming everywhere, ready to kill you at any moment.”

“I hope you don’t misunderstand.”

Yes, in the great tomb, when only he and his teacher were left, his teacher once described his attributes, saying:

“A Taoist-dressed fellow, holding a sniper rifle, aiming everywhere, as if ready to kill someone at any moment.”

Now that he brought this up, could his teacher understand?

“Lord Underworld Lord, please prepare for full defense. In case my teacher makes a move, I want to survive.”

He secretly instructed Underworld Lord Mictetikasiwa.

“Understood, I’m ready,” Underworld Lord Mictetikasiwa said.

In the field.

Xu Xingke narrowed his eyes.

He put his raised hand back, his hands in his pockets, a cigarette in his mouth, taking a deep drag.

“Don’t be arrogant, young man. You’re just talking to yourself,” he finally said.

My teacher understood!

In the great tomb, he also taught me how to use the Northern Eastern Divine Punch!

—The trick to effectively using the Northern Eastern Divine Punch is to talk to yourself!

So he didn’t strike immediately, but used words to further confirm the situation.

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sir, how should I address you?”

“Xu Xingke.”

“Please remember, sir, we just haven’t activated the world defense system. Its power is enough to sweep you away, and it is absolutely unaffected by all elements, physics, or magic, even if you poison it.”

Behind Xu Xingke, the Sword Maiden raised her longsword.

But her hand was caught by Xu Xingke.

World defense system…

He had told Shen Ye that睚眦 was the security system of the Death Planet, and it was paralyzed by poison.

This person in front of him said “unaffected by all… poisons“.

What is his relationship with Shen Ye?

“Stop,” Xu Xingke said.

The surrounding human professionals stopped one after another and retreated behind him.

“Xu Xingke?”

The Sword Maiden looked at him in surprise.

“Obey orders, all retreat. I’ll talk to him,” Xu Xingke said.

“Do you need isolation spells?” the Nangong family head asked.

“Of course, all of you who can use isolation spells, use them. Our conversation cannot be leaked,” Xu Xingke said.

He walked step by step to Shen Ye and asked:

“Third level of the Law Realm… what is your status in the ‘Five Desires’ world, daring to talk to me?”

“I am Lord Mogakou‘s captain of the guard. Lord Mogakou is the strongest being in the entire ‘Five Desires’ world, and I represent him with full authority to negotiate with you,” Shen Ye said.

“Good—unleash the isolation spell!” Xu Xingke waved at his back.

The human strongmen immediately cast spells, isolating the two of them.

“Who exactly are you? Or did you capture Shen Ye and want to negotiate with me?”

Xu Xingke asked.

“Teacher, what do you think?” Shen Ye took off the death disguise cloak and said helplessly.

No choice.

In front of his teacher, if he didn’t reveal his identity, his life would be in extreme danger.

Shen Ye directly took off the death disguise cloak and threw it over.

Xu Xingke held the cloak and looked at it for a while, then laughed:

“Alright, you’ve climbed to such a high position. That gives me an idea.”

“Teacher, please speak,” Shen Ye said.

“I’ll kill the boss of this world, and you’ll take his place as the head of them.”

Shen Ye was speechless.

“…Teacher, the situation is actually quite complicated now.”

“Oh?”

Shen Ye recounted the events in hell.

Xu Xingke knitted his brows and murmured:

“A hell world full of gods… why is it like this? What exactly do they want to do?”

“Many worlds have merged with the Death World, could it be that they also want to merge?” Shen Ye asked.

Xu Xingke pondered:

“If that were the case, they would actively come to contact us, instead of hiding deep in hell… full of gods… this would be a difficult fight.”

“Teacher, what do you plan to do?” Shen Ye asked.

“The Aristocratic families are better at dealing with gods. I need to go back and discuss this with the Aristocratic families,” Xu Xingke said.

“Then we’re not fighting here?”

“Of course not—you’re here to negotiate, aren’t you? If we retreat, won’t you have rendered meritorious service?”

“That’s true.”

“Let’s go, see you back.”

“Wait!”

Xu Xingke was about to turn and leave, but Shen Ye pounced on him and grabbed his sleeve.

“Something else?”

“I’ve finally met my teacher, you have to help me!”

“You’re doing pretty well though.”

“It’s this—”

Shen Ye released the Earth Mother’s sealed box.

“Teacher, there’s a god sealed inside, and it requires three god-like beings to break the seal.”

Xu Xingke looked at the box and said, “Are you sure there’s an ally inside?”

“Yes, teacher.”

“Then come on, when I make a move, you let her make a move too—be careful to control the power of the attack on the sealed box, do not let it overflow.”

“Good! They’re all listening.”

Xu Xingke nodded, first cast a spell to make the surroundings more stable.

Then he stood in front of the sealed box and began to count down.

“Three,”

“Two,”

“One!”

He threw a punch.

At the same time, Underworld Lord Mictetikasiwa in Shen Ye’s Dharma Aspect, and the Earth Mother who was still sealed, attacked together.

Crash—

The entire box shattered under the attacks of the three powerhouses, but it did not affect the surrounding environment.

A woman with long hair touching the ground, dressed in a deep yellow long dress, appeared before everyone.

Earth Mother!

As soon as the Earth Mother appeared, she immediately looked at Shen Ye.

Xu Xingke also turned his head and stared at Shen Ye.

“What’s wrong?”

Shen Ye was inexplicably confused.

“There’s a strange power… it feels like the kind from the great tomb, it exploded on you,” Xu Xingke said.

The next second.

Yaotai’s voice suddenly came to Shen Ye’s ear:

“It’s time—it’s now—”

“The Earth Mother is related to the root of nightmares. Once she is rescued, all power will return to its rightful place.”

“Countless laws have formed invisible historical nodes at this moment, which signifies that the Law Realm acknowledges your grand feat.”

“This moment—”

“I will trigger the resonance of the Law Realm, integrating into it and completing that matter…”

As the words fell.

The surroundings suddenly became a completely blank world.

This is the manifestation of the Law Realm!

“Why did you suddenly summon the Law Realm? What exactly do you want to do?”

Shen Ye asked.

Yaotai did not answer.

It flew out of Shen Ye’s body, suspended in mid-air, gradually shattering and merging into the Law Realm.

Wind.

The wind in the void swept everything.

The endless void and blankness in the Law Realm began to transform into shadows.

Scenes from ten thousand years ago appeared in the cloud-like light and shadow.

People drove beasts on the land, made fires, cultivated the land, comprehended heaven and earth, and entered the path of cultivation.

Various cultivation sects emerged.

Cultivators slayed demons and purged evil, opening up vast territories.

The human race flourished.

Until one day, the Emperor Species descended, devouring the human world.

One battle after another.

Light and shadow constantly shifted, flashing around Shen Ye, then drifting away with the wind.

Countless deaths, sacrifices, and heroic figures worth singing about.

Those sleepless people, crying souls, lingering attachments, everything, all flashed through Shen Ye’s eyes, then faded away.

There was no room for recovery.

Everything was like an endless nightmare.

Until—

A young man appeared in the light and shadow.

He awakened his door ability, diligently shuttling between nightmares and reality, like an insignificant ant.

He walked with a sword, sometimes using a bow and arrows, and later acquiring a long knife.

Silently.

From the smallest things, everything began to change.

Yaotai’s voice sounded again:

“The next epoch is coming, but the Ancient Mausoleum Guardian God has been dead for ten thousand years, accomplishing nothing.”

“The Huntian Sect, which it guided and founded, was almost wiped out, yet fortunately, you appeared and passed down the ultimate Dharma Aspect.”

“Its battle failed, and the Nightmare Spell did not defeat the Emperor Species, yet fortunately, you saved the Seal of Fate, sealed the Emperor Species, and reactivated this attack spell.”

“The Nightmare World was supposed to be destroyed, and the Guardian God still failed to protect it, but you brought back the Underworld God from hell, unsealed the Earth Mother, persuaded the guardians of the Tower of Tarot, allowing hope to be born and within reach.”

“Even—”

“The cage of the last epoch is about to collapse, and the monsters imprisoned within it, along with their guardians, did not interrupt your actions; instead, they unconsciously supported you.”

“For ten thousand years, only you have accomplished such a feat.”

“The true wave of epochal change is about to arrive, and now someone must take charge of this power of the future…”

“Shen Ye, this is what you deserve.”

In the endless clouds, all past illusions were like smoke and mist.

The wind howled.

Throughout history, countless heroes and illustrious figures looked up at the void, their faces once contorted with unwillingness, despair, and even pain gradually fading into the wind.

The clouds also dissipated.

—It’s all over.

Marked by this moment, the fate of the world and all living beings embarked on a completely different new path.

At this moment, Shen Ye stood here.
