Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

The profits from killing Tian Luo are too vast!

As the "Life Soul Master," once I devour Tian Luo, I will inevitably become the most powerful being in the Five Desires World!

Such a good opportunity—

If the Nine Aspects cannot seize it, then it's truly insignificant.

"Master, what shall we do?"

Shen Ye asked.

The Nine Aspects glanced at him, his expression turning exceedingly solemn.

"Baxter, I'm accustomed to slacking off on ordinary days, never contending with Tian Luo and the others. Do you know why?"

"Master, I don't know," Shen Ye said.

"Because of the 'gate'! Mo Ga Ru controls the power of the 'gate,' and this 'gate' power will become immensely potent in the future, so I don't compete with them."

The Nine Aspects said through gritted teeth, as if venting something.

"Master, I don't understand... what exactly is Great Demon's gate," Shen Ye continued.

"You don't need to know, his gate is very formidable."

Damn.

Is this how you treat your subordinates?

But it doesn't matter.

After all, you can't even see through Mo Ga Ru's fake gate.

The real person with gate power is right in front of you, and you still underestimate him.

Shen Ye was silently criticizing, but heard the Nine Aspects already continue:

"I have been irreconcilable with Tian Luo, so I planted a chess piece in the Nightmare World long ago..."

"However, since I'm in Hell, it's a bit troublesome to manipulate, so progress hasn't been great, and I haven't been able to stop Tian Luo from doing anything."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Now you try it."

"Thank you, Master. I will go to the Nightmare World right now," Shen Ye said joyfully.

"Hold on, Baxter. What is your target for this trip?" the Nine Aspects asked.

"The entire Nightmare World, of course," Shen Ye said with a deep gaze, speaking softly, "The whole Nightmare World is yours, Master. No one else should even think of touching it."

"You cheeky boy, even greedier than I am!"

The Nine Aspects cursed, then suddenly burst into loud laughter and casually tossed something to Shen Ye. Your next chapter is on empire

Shen Ye hurriedly caught it.

It was a heavy token, crafted entirely from gold, engraved with the Holy Violet Emblem.

"Master, this is?" Shen Ye hesitated.

"You've done a good job. I, the Nine Aspects, am not a stingy person; this is a special reward for you," the Nine Aspects said.

A reward?

"With this token, you can transform into the person I have designated, and act in his identity."

"Inject spiritual power to change your physique," the Nine Aspects explained.

"Yes, Master! But who will this allow me to transform into?" Shen Ye couldn't help but ask.

"The King of the Human Race's Holy Violet Empire—I secretly did away with him—my head has been impersonating him."

The Nine Aspects grinned and said, "Baxter, now it's your turn to take over."

Shen Ye was shocked, trying to control his expression, but suddenly realized and let his face change abruptly.

"The King!" he exclaimed.

The Nine Aspects observed his reaction and burst into hearty laughter:

"How do you like this reward? Being the human king, do whatever you want, kill whoever you wish to."

"Thank you for the reward, Master!" Shen Ye said gratefully, "What would you like me to do with this identity?"

He was truly grateful.

And he was earnestly asking.

The Nine Aspects were quite pleased with his attitude and spoke in a lower voice:

"The most mysterious in that world is the Earth Mother, the last Divine Spirit of the world. Even Tian Luo has not been able to find her; you must, by any means, find her!"

"Then what?" Shen Ye asked.

"Kill her, seize all her treasures, and then don't do anything; just wait for me to arrive."

"Yes, Master!"

Shen Ye thought for a moment, then said, "If I hold this identity, I might handle many things in their own way. Some of the things you've initiated earlier may change, Master. I wanted to give you a heads up."

"Of course, I trust your judgment," the Nine Aspects slapped his shoulder.

In truth, he hadn't done much.

Tian Luo was watching too closely.

Now it was just right to throw this mess to Baxter.

Let him go ahead and handle it.

"Baxter, you are loyal and have a method to your work—secure the Nightmare World for me, and I won't treat you unfairly!"

"Yes, Master! However, Master, I still have some intelligence to gather in Hell. As soon as it's done, I will head straight to the Nightmare World," Shen Ye said.

"Don't dawdle, that's all I ask. I'm leaving first," the Nine Aspects said nonchalantly.

It soared into the sky with endless heads and quickly vanished from sight.

Mid-air.

The Nine Aspects flew while going over everything from beginning to end.

Tian Luo is severely injured...

So, what about Tai Yan?

Why didn't Tai Yan lend a hand to him?

Even though Baxter did not lie—

But Baxter is just a small vampire. Inevitably his perspective on issues is somewhat limited, and the methods by which he gathers intelligence unavoidably narrow.

If I rush to Tian Luo now, it might attract everyone's attention.

Better to probe Tai Yan's intentions first!

The Nine Aspects took out a bottle of Source of Calamity, drinking a sip, and instantly disappeared from mid-air.

With a flash in the void.

Within the Five Desires World.

It gently landed on the ground.

This was a desolate world.

Everywhere there were ruined vehicles, collapsed houses, and overgrown weeds.

No living creatures were in sight.

On the ground,

the countless heads erupted in a roar like a thunderous tide.

—They sensed the return of the Nine Aspects!

Looking out over the entire world—

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

All the creatures of the entire world had been devoured, becoming a part of the Nine Aspects.

—All these were the heads of the Nine Aspects!

Surveying his surroundings, the Nine Aspects showed a look of reflection.

"I should be the hardest working... I should also be the strongest..."

He discerned the direction and flew swiftly toward Tai Yan's abode.

...

Hell.

On the wilderness.

Only Shen Ye remained alone.

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

What a great opportunity!

"Great Skeleton, let's hurry and collect all your mother's skeletal remains!"

"What! Is there time?"

"The reason I said that to the Nine Aspects was precisely for what comes next!"

"Go!"

Now, to Cannon Branding Castle.

Shen Ye opened a gate, stepping through in one stride.

—This side of the gate was the second coordinate point, where Zhong Baxter "sacrificed" himself, and it was a wilderness not too far from Cannon Branding Castle.

He skillfully mounted a motorcycle and headed straight for the castle exterior.

He displayed his identity as a General's Guard.

All the way unobstructed.

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

The key to the Burial Ground.

—This was still from the last visit, when the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa had disguised himself as a maid and delivered it to him.

Seven hours...

The voice of the great skeleton suddenly rang out:

"Shen Ye, I've never asked you for anything before."

"This time I beg you, please collect all of my mother's skeletal fragments, otherwise the enemy might capture her!"

Shen Ye fell silent for a moment.

Time waits for no one.

Not just to save the Underworld Lord.

He also needed to obtain the Nightmare Avatar quickly to be qualified for what was to come.

He must go!

"We're heading to the Burial Ground now."

Shen Ye put away the motorcycle and walked towards the outside.

Guided by the sensation from the key, he quickly found that tomb.

Surprisingly, the tomb was locked by an iron gate.

The gate emitted strong waves of Technique.

No one was around.

Shen Ye pulled out the key, unlocked the gate, and flashed inside.

The tomb garden was lined with orderly gravestones.

Shen Ye took out the Skeletal Fragment.

The fragment immediately emitted faint vibrations, pointing in one direction.

Over there!

Shen Ye's footsteps were swift, and at a certain moment, he suddenly raised his hand to his sword and called out:

"Come come, I am a gravestone."

After saying this, he stood still, not moving.

He waited a moment.

Two soldiers wielding swords and shields, dressed in full Armor, came around from the other side of the graveyard.

They observed their surroundings and then stopped in front of Shen Ye.

"Did I just hear something?"

A young soldier said.

"Shh, be quiet! This place is the resting place of important people, their spirits have gone to Purgatory, only their soulless bodies are buried here," another older soldier said, immediately warning him.

"So what do we do—"

"As long as it's not a thief, just pretend you don't know anything."

"Damn, I didn't think we would have to deal with this in Hell, I was already scared of this."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's at most just haunted," the other replied.

"The more you say, the more scared I get..."

The two walked further away.

Shen Ye waited a little longer and continued to follow the Skeletal Fragment's guidance, quickly arriving at a solitary grave.

The Skeletal Fragment detached from Shen Ye's hand and fell onto the gravestone.

The gravestone immediately cracked open.

A pair of translucent hands as lustrous as white jade appeared before Shen Ye.

A faint glow emerged near the forearm:

"The bony hand of the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa."

Found it!

Shen Ye collected the hand and darted towards a denser area of tombs.

The faint glow formed small characters:

"It begins."

"You have only seven hours to collect the Underworld Lord's skeletal fragments; exceeding the time will mean failure, and she will forever be trapped in Purgatory, unable to appear in Hell or the mortal world."

In the unseen.

The sensation was now stronger.

Yes.

A notion rose from the bones, telling him that the next fragment was placed in the square of Cannon Branding Castle.

It was in the hands of an elf.

Shen Ye's physique flashed, landing amidst the dense tombstones, and he spoke:

"Gentlemen, please tell me, is there a sin-ridden elf in the first layer of Hell, in the square of this Cannon Branding Castle right now?"

"Whispers of the Dark" activated!

He waited a moment.

Suddenly, a talking voice came from underneath a gravestone:

"An elf? Could it be that fellow?"

Another gravestone was followed by a reply:

"Yes, that powerful guy."

From yet another gravestone, a sneering voice emerged:

"No one ever fought with him, so he could only find a sense of self by harming his kind."

Whispers spread from beneath the gravestones.

There's no time to waste here!

We must hurry!

"Gentlemen! Stop chattering, please tell me directly, who is that guy?"

Shen Ye asked loudly.

—These fellows had all been Divine Spirits in their lifetimes; they must know something!

All other voices fell silent.

Then a voice followed: "There is a fallen Spirit Devourer among the elves, I clearly know he is in that square."

"Who is it?" Shen Ye asked.

"Elves make their home in trees, befriend the herbivores of the forest, and worship the moon and the night sky—"

"But what that Spirit Devourer likes to do most is eat those trusting herbivores; he also likes to kill his own kind."

"He has destroyed several tribes, and in the end, he even killed two famous Trees of Knowledge."

Hearing this, Shen Ye decisively asked:

"What is this guy good at?"

"Versatility! His combat skills are extremely sophisticated."

"I'm going to slaughter him—is there any weakness?" Shen Ye asked again.

Most of the gravestones fell silent.

Finally, a gravestone wreathed in many green leaves spoke:

"No weaknesses!"
