Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Shen Ye really wanted to take a closer look at these parchment-like objects.

But now was not the time to inspect them closely.

"Put them all into the ring, quick!" the skeleton commanded.

Shen Ye waved his hand, and all the parchments instantly disappeared from sight.

At that moment, a series of booming noises came from outside.

"Strike that red rune! We need to leave!"

said the large skeleton urgently.

"Don't rush."

As Shen Ye spoke, he stowed his coat and also put away his wide-brimmed hat.

——This completely changed his appearance from before.

He forcefully struck the red rune on the wall.

Ripples spread through the void.

In an instant, he disappeared directly from the storeroom.

A few seconds later.

Boom!!!

Amidst the deafening noise, the door to the storeroom burst open.

A banshee, exuding thick black mist, hovered in midair and shrieked,

"Damn it! He got away!"

The werewolf stood not far away and scolded sternly,

"You can't just barge into the VIP rooms of the Holy Soul Bank, our major shareholder is——"

Scanning the entire room with a murderous gaze, the banshee said,

"Shut up, do you know who that person was just now? Even your boss can't afford the consequences of this."

The werewolf said with a stern face, "Please leave this place. I will report today's incident, and I believe——"

Suddenly, the banshee spun around, jabbed a finger into the werewolf's skull, and spoke softly,

"Speak. What did that guy look like?"

"Dark leather jacket, wide-brimmed hat, dark blue pants, and white shoes," the werewolf said dully.

"Dressed like a human? Tell me, what race was he really?"

"He was too well-covered to make out."

Pop.

The werewolf's head burst open on the spot.

The banshee's voice suddenly amplified, carrying far and wide,

"By my command, summon the Shadow Legion immediately, and scour the entire city for a man wearing a dark leather jacket, wide-brimmed hat, dark blue pants, and white shoes!"

Elsewhere.

Shen Ye landed on a balcony of a castle with black spires.

This was a terrace of some room in the castle.

Amidst the melodious music, whispers could be heard coming from below.

"It's a party——great, our current location, no one will come here for now," the large skeleton said.

"Has the hunt started?" asked Shen Ye.

"Yes, and it's definitely a major citywide hunt. Get ready," the skeleton's voice was tinged with nervousness.

"Luckily, I've changed my appearance. I'm wearing a cape now, and even my hat is different," said Shen Ye.

"What about your pants and shoes?"

"I'm not planning to change them."

"?"

Suddenly, a grand female voice rang out from outside:

"By my command, summon the Shadow Legion immediately, and scour the entire city for a man wearing a dark leather jacket, wide-brimmed hat, dark blue pants, and white shoes!"

The voice lingered for a long time.

"This is bad. Once the Shadow Legion is mobilized, things will get more troublesome. I suggest you change your pants and shoes," the skeleton urged more nervously.

But Shen Ye just casually shrugged his arms and replied,

"Buddy, it's obviously getting risky now. Back in my hometown, there's a specific phrase for this kind of situation."

"What is it?" the large skeleton asked.

"We're in a tight spot!"

Shen Ye placed his hand on the wall, and a door instantly opened.

He stepped through.

The door vanished immediately.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

...

In the courtyard.

"..." the large skeleton.

"..." Shen Ye.

"...I was too nervous just now, I forgot that we could actually lay low for a while," the large skeleton said with a hint of embarrassment.

"You should think about how to reintroduce yourself," Shen Ye said, picking up the teacup on the table for a sip, "I was too lazy to ask before, since one has to respect personal privacy——"

"But now the circumstances have completely changed."

"I feel like I could die in Eternal Night City without understanding why, so I need to know your true identity."

The large skeleton said, "Actually, I am a bloodline heir to the Mother of Dark Skeletons, the King of Ghouls, Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa..."

"Pfft!" Shen Ye sprayed out his tea.

"...the inheritor of her bloodline." The skeleton finished his sentence.

"Why did you have to pause like that!" Shen Ye said, annoyed, as he set down his teacup.

"When the goddess fell, I was protected by her last divine power, hidden from everyone's notice, so I fled, and eventually took on the name Fei Lun, bribing a frontline general to secure the position of a Storage Officer."

"But oddly enough, there would always be various probes and assassinations——I was nearly at my limit when I met you," the skeleton explained.

"Divine protection? It can make you unrecognizable?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, but unfortunately, I was still constantly put to the test, doing all sorts of dangerous jobs until I was severely injured and near death," the Big Skeleton said.

"Logically speaking, if they knew you were a bloodline successor of a goddess, there should have been extremely powerful Undead trying to kill you! Why does it seem like all the trials were minor skirmishes?" Shen Ye asked, puzzled.

"I have always wondered why I faced only that level of trials, which is rather strange," the Big Skeleton said.

"You took the alias Fei Lun... What was your original name?" After pondering for a moment, Shen Ye asked.

"Fei Lun," the Big Skeleton said.

Shen Ye fell silent for a few breaths, then said with difficulty, "Brother, with an alias like that, all the divine power in the world couldn't protect you."

"Actually, in the language of the Undead, the pronunciation of Fei Lun is a little different from Fei Lun, one has a falling tone, and the other a rising tone," the Big Skeleton explained earnestly.

"Who cares about the tone! There's a saying among us humans: 'Better kill the wrong one than let one escape.' Understand?"

"... I'm convinced. I'm going to comprehend my skills now; we'll head over at midnight," the Big Skeleton conceded.

Shen Ye didn't bother with this guy anymore. He took his Long Bow, shouldered his Arrows, and got up to go to the courtyard to comprehend the Art of Flying Shot.

He had already mastered "Flying."

Now he just needed to master "Shot."

This "Shot" seemed to hold some knowledge.

Shen Ye closed his eyes, allowing countless images to surface in his mind, numerous techniques, experiences, and arts overlapping one after the other.

He stood quietly in the courtyard like that.

Time slowly passed by.

Until the sky gradually turned dusky, on the verge of nightfall.

At that moment.

An epiphany rose to his mind, transforming into the essence where all techniques converged, eventually forming Curse Scripts that naturally took shape.

Shen Ye suddenly opened his eyes, his Physique vibrated, and he shot straight into the sky.

At that time, the setting sun was like blood, the twilight cozily illuminated his body, casting a ring of golden light around him as he soared towards Qingyun amid distant exclamations from the ground, mixed with the sound of the wind.

Higher

Always higher.

Until he pierced through the clouds, all sounds ceased, and he stopped to look down upon the boundless Sea of Clouds.

Deep in the vault of heaven, a Star suddenly appeared, casting down shafts of frosty white light.

These beams of the cold Moon encircled him, condensing into two dragons dozens of meters long, which undulated above and below the clouds before finally coming to rest behind him, motionless on either side.

In an instant, countless cloud patterns burst forth from the bodies of the dragons, spreading all around and forming symmetrical designs that ultimately converged into a Dragon Ball above the twin dragons.

Twin Dragons Seize the Pearl!

But this was not the end―

Three lines of faintly glowing text suddenly appeared in front of Shen Ye:

"You have successfully taken on the 'Night Roamer' profession, drawing forth your Law Realm Life Star, condensing the Star Law Phase for you―"

"Lunar Palace!"

"With this Dharma Aspect, your 'Frosty Moon Shocking Sky' needs only gradual refinement, and once it is naturally complete, you will advance to the First Layer of the Law Domain."

"With this Dharma Aspect, your Dharma Eye 'Moonlight Divine Illumination' has been upgraded by one level, and now reached the First Layer of the Law Domain."

"Description: With this, you can sense things in the Law Realm, and past events concerning the current Law Realm objects become clear under the gaze of the Divine Eye, but it will consume a large amount of your spiritual power."

"Furthermore, your 'Night Roamer' Professional Skills can draw upon the Divine Eyes to cast the Pupil Technique: Demon-slaying Frost Line."

"―This is the 'Night Roamer''s Law Eye Pupil Technique."

All the text retracted.

The Dragon Ball in the mouth of the dual dragons behind Shen Ye vibrated, turning into a Divine Eye that radiated cold.

At that moment, he stood proudly above the clouds, with frosty white light condensing into dual dragons behind him, and with a Divine Eye overseeing the world, looking like a god descended upon the earth.

Yet Shen Ye felt neither sorrow nor joy in his heart.

He was still pondering over the first Professional Skill of "Night Roamer":

"Sudden Rain."

"Description: Instantly empties all arrows, drawing upon the Law Realm's blessing to activate 'Moonlight Divine Illumination' and unleash the 'Demon-slaying Frost Line' rain."

"―Once hit even just once, it can be declared the battle is already over."

"―The power to purge demons under Chaos Heaven."

This move seemed to be used like this...

He flew forward a distance before suddenly reaching out to draw his Long Bow, his hand flickered over the bowstring like a lingering shadow.

In an instant.

The bowstring let out a thunderous series of rapid vibrations.

Swish swish swish swish swish―

Every Arrow was emptied in a downpour.

Simultaneously, the Star Law Phase's Dharma Eye above Shen Ye's head opened up, sweeping out countless Ice Beams, catching up with those Arrows, striking them as one, setting off heavy layers of Frost and Snow, plunging into the Sea of Clouds, scattering downwards.

A violent snowstorm then descended upon the land below.

Shen Ye silently watched for quite a while, murmuring softly to himself:

"My goodness, this is way too powerful―why didn't I feel that this world could be so strong before?"

...Perhaps it's just that this "Night Roamer" profession is very strong?

Hmm...

Possibly...

The voice of the Big Skeleton suddenly rang out: "Brother, you'd better hurry down."

"Or else what?" Shen Ye wondered.

The Big Skeleton explained, "That move you just used probably drained all your spiritual power, and even your Physical Strength has been overtaxed too much. If you don't―"

"Ah―" Shen Ye let out a shout.

His spiritual power was exhausted!

Even his free attribute points were all spent!

Shen Ye could no longer fly and started plummeting straight downward.

"You're not going to smash to death, are you?"

The Big Skeleton exclaimed.
