Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

An unusual wave of energy suddenly emanated from Shen Ye.

A faint glow materialized into lines of small text:

"The End of Dreams of the Nine Aspects is about to be activated."

"Would you like to activate it?"

——It was rather polite, asking whether he wanted to activate it first.

He no longer needed to watch Charlotte's battle recordings now.

He should head to the World Graveyard first.

Acquire the entry, avoid the Nine Aspects.

Shen Ye summoned a door, about to step through it when his thoughts shifted.

"Activate the End of Dreams."

He uttered these words.

Before the echo of his speech faded, the glimmering text floating in the void immediately changed into a new prompt:

"Your brain will receive deep activation, operating at high speed for one second, gaining special memories, completing today's inheritance."

In a flash.

Shen Ye found everything around him had changed.

He was standing in the vast and boundless Hell.

The sky and earth were filled with human heads.

Charlotte stood not far away, constantly wielding techniques with her hands.

"Lilias gave me an inspiration."

She spoke up.

"While I have this free moment, I should also set up a lifesaving backup for myself——"

Behind her, a large bulge gradually rose.

It was dozens of heads, chanting some sort of spell in unison.

Charlotte's arms suddenly stretched, becoming as sharp as blades, reaching behind her to sever a head.

She held the head aloft, facing Shen Ye.

From within the skull came a familiar throbbing sound.

Shen Ye was startled for a moment, then understood.

——That's more like it!

Charlotte was also one of the personalities of the Nine Aspects, no matter how strong and arrogant, before facing the battle against the strongest in the universe, she would find a way to leave herself an out.

With Mo Ga Ru present, she had said nothing more.

But she had indeed handed this backup to him personally——

She saw him as a reliable subordinate!

A bit of the uncertainty in Shen Ye's heart dissipated, and he focused his gaze on that human head.

Charlotte began to say:

"This head gathers a lot of strength."

"See, there's no brain inside its skull, only my heart."

"Hell is inauspicious, I'll take it back to the mortal world, embed it into the wall behind the portrait in the bedroom of the Undead Marchioness's mansion in the Nightmare World."

She stepped forward, one hand holding the head, the other hand formed like a blade, pointing remotely at Shen Ye's forehead.

"This Dao Technique can activate my heart, making it beat again."

"Remember that."

As her voice fell.

A method to execute the technique flashed through Shen Ye's mind.

Quite simple.

He focused on memorizing the method of the technique, and then everything around him vanished.

In a blink.

He was still standing in the Mausoleum Chamber on the second floor of the Great Tomb.

Time——

"00:01."

Only one second had passed.

What to do now? Head to the World Graveyard or go to resurrect Charlotte?

Before Shen Ye had time to ponder, the Female Art Spirit's voice rang out:

"So fast——"

"An entity has entered the Great Tomb and is swiftly moving towards the first floor, it has already reached the first floor!"

Without a word, Shen Ye opened another door and walked in.

Breath Soil High School.

Dormitory.

Nangong Sirui was not there.

No sooner had Shen Ye appeared than another person quietly materialized in the room.

Song Yinchen.

"How come you're here?" Shen Ye was surprised.

"I sensed a heavy worry in your heart, as if you need help with something—don't laugh at me, I'm an expert at reading people's expressions," Song Yinchen said softly.

"I indeed need to make a trip to the Nightmare World, I haven't been there since they merged," Shen Ye said.

"Let's go!"

Song Yinchen grabbed Shen Ye and stepped into the void, suddenly landing among lush mountains.

—This place was the Dharma Realm!

Beneath their feet appeared a koi.

The large fish, adorned with red and white, soared into the sky with them, heading deep into the Dharma Realm, enveloped by the morning glow.

The wind gently brushed the girl's hair.

As she discerned their direction, she said:

"After its fusion, the Nightmare World took the position of the 'Inner' world, temporarily barring outsiders from entering. Currently, only the Heavenly Kings have access."

"What are you going to do in the Nightmare World?"

"To handle an urgent matter," Shen Ye said.

A smile played on Song Yinchen's lips.

See.

I still understand Brother Shen Ye.

"Will there be a battle?" she asked.

"Let's pray there's no battle—truthfully, if the situation weren't so urgent, I wouldn't want to drag you into this," Shen Ye said.

"It's okay," the girl said without turning her head.

Suddenly, a dazzling array of lights connecting heaven and earth appeared before them.

"We're about to enter!"

"Alright!"

The koi swiftly wagged its tail, speeding up, and in an instant, it shot through the wall of light.

The scenery around them shifted abruptly.

Shen Ye oriented himself and realized they were in the territory of the beastmen.

"Fly in that direction! We need to go to the land of the Undead!" he exclaimed loudly in mid-air.

Song Yinchen steered the koi in the new direction, asking curiously:

"How do you know that the Undead territory is over there?"

"Flew over it many times!"

"Tell me about it later."

The koi reached incredible speed, turning into a colored shadow in the sky as it continued to race forward.

Finally.

An Undead city appeared ahead of them.

Shen Ye removed the large golden chain from his neck, and transformed his appearance into that of a vampire.

"Huh? Brother Shen Ye, what's this?"

"A prop's effect—let's go down, we need to go over there, to the location with the Teleportation Array," Shen Ye said.

"Alright!"

The two of them descended.

A few Undead Guards, upon seeing them, were about to interrogate, but then recognized Shen Ye's appearance.

"Mr. Diva Baxter, we salute you!"

They bowed in unison.

Song Yinchen covered her mouth in shock.

"Teleport to Eternal Night City, and make it quick!" Shen Ye tossed a Bone Coin.

"Yes!"

The Teleportation Array activated rapidly.
