Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

——In matters concerning the Nightmare World, Shen Ye still deeply trusted the Skeleton Chief.

With such urgent prompting from the chief, he knew it must be a good thing.

Good things should be pursued.

Shen Ye arranged the Orc High Priest's suit, holding it with both hands, and said:

"This set is indeed of little use to me, it is better if you have it."

Karula smiled slightly and recited another spell.

The golden mist swirling around her hands surged toward Shen Ye, enveloping him and gradually emitting a majestic sound.

A faint light appeared, forming words:

"You have received the blessing of the Earth Mother:"

"The Level Wilds." Continue reading at m|v-l'e m,p| y- r

"Description: Your overall attributes have been significantly enhanced, achieving a uniform level while also healing various hidden injuries on your body, making your foundation deeper and more profound."

"——People watch the distant horizon, just as they gaze upon their bright future."

"Congratulations."

"'Great Chieftain's Invitation' has been lifted."

"All your basic attributes have been increased, as follows:"

"Strength: 19;"

"Agility: 19;"

"Spirit: 19;"

"Comprehension: 19;"

"Resonance: 19; (Legacy Resonance under the moon +20);"

"Available Attribute Points: 10."

"——One more step forward and you shall become a 'True Person,' no blessings can replace your own efforts, please break through the shackles yourself!"

So powerful.

So incredibly powerful!

Shen Ye looked down and noticed that the iron lock-like curse seal on his ankle had become quite dim.

"Don't worry, these marks will fade within a day," said Karula.

"May I receive such a blessing again? I am willing to pay," asked Shen Ye.

"In one's lifetime, a person can only receive such a blessing once," Karula replied with a smile.

She could tell that the other party was so overwhelmed that he couldn't help making an inquiry he himself knew to be impossible.

"Alright, this set of clothes is yours!"

Shen Ye held out the priest's suit to her with both hands.

Karula seemed quite pleased with his decisiveness and, after thinking for a moment, tossed a small object to Shen Ye.

"What is this?" asked Shen Ye.

——Actually, it was just a wooden token with "Body of the Earth" written on it.

"You helped me kill the Great Chieftain and destroy the distorted social structure of 996, so this treasure of the earth is for you."

"It signifies that you are a friend of the earth."

"When in need, just tap this token lightly, and it will create a duplicate of you—even imitating your soul perfectly—to confuse your enemies."

"It is very useful when being pursued relentlessly by an enemy."

After explaining, the Skeleton Chief immediately transmitted a message:

"Quick, agree to her, thank her—centaur beings are incredibly generous demigod existenc! They only require your sincere gratitude!"

"I am extremely grateful for your gift, and I look forward to fighting alongside you one day," Shen Ye said.

Karula nodded:

"Hmm, I hope that the next time we meet, it will still be to fight against evil."

She leapt lightly, flew into the sky, and was soon gone.

Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly, quietly sensing the changes brought about by the earth's blessing.

All attributes reached 19 points.

The level of enhancement was beyond imagination.

Shen Ye felt his mind was incredibly clear, his spirit tangible, even harboring the illusion that he could affect reality. His limbs were filled with strength, his gaze swept over the ruins, and he had already begun to perceive the secrets of the technique within the lingering flames.

——But Shen Ye was clear in his heart that it was best not to care too much about all this, nor should he become self-important.

The feelings just now were because he had made a great leap from where he was before, hence the illusion of being "very strong."

"Skeleton Chief," Shen Ye called out.

"What?" asked the Skeleton Chief.

"If we hadn't acted just now, could she have defeated the Great Chieftain?"

"The Great Chieftain possesses a Divine Body; she would not have been able to defeat him."

"I thought she could win; that would have been amazing."

"Precisely because she couldn't win, she gave you that token as thanks for the major help you provided."

"I see..."

Shen Ye muttered to himself, then reached out to touch the void.

A door opened.

He stepped through.

...

Main World.

Zhongzhou City.

Underground Cave.

A door quietly appeared.

Shen Ye stepped through and immediately saw countless motes of light gathering, forming two lines of text:

"Congratulations."

"You have gained a new Entry through this opening."

An entry?

Shen Ye was somewhat surprised, then suddenly realized.

Indeed, he had fought to the death for a high Evaluation Entry!

The faint light continued to appear, condensing midair, revealing lines of text:

"This opening has drawn upon the power of the Magical Realm cast upon you by Zhongzhou City, as well as the power of the Nightmare World's Magical Realm, using the linked force of both worlds to obtain a joint Evaluation Entry:"

"Joyous Being."

"Dark Gold Entry (Unparalleled)."

"Description: You, the entry, and your profession must come together to create joy. When joy exists, the target you designate will be engulfed in the joy you create, continuously gaining various 'positive' joyful effects."

"Each time the target actively breaks free from your joy, they will be marked with a 'negative' joyful effect."

"You can cancel the joy at any time."

"——This entry ignores all defenses, races, techniques, talents, and strength levels of the target."

"Evaluation: A red entry flashed before you like a fleeting glimpse and then vanished; your memory was altered and then corrected; you played the role of an orc high priest as a vampire and, as Peiqi, used a secret letter to save the life of Prince Norton; you promoted 996 and then defeated its variant, 807; you misdirected calamity, pitting deities against each other, and then personally carried out a sneak attack on them; you spoke English in hell as a diva, and during the earth's blessing, you presented gold, calling yourself a true friend."

"——This series of seemingly mad and abnormal events has earned you this evaluation entry!"

"You can keep this evaluation entry and upgrade it in the future; or you can devour it to gain basic attribute points."

"Congratulations!"

"Your door has gained the new ability 'Stellar Shift'."

"The lower limit target for activating this ability is a blue entry, and the higher the entry level, the better the effect of 'Stellar Shift'!"

"You have gained a dark gold (incomparable) evaluation entry!"

"As a result, your 'Stellar Shift' has acquired an equivalent effect."

"Details are as follows:"

"Stellar Shift."

"Effect 1: You can mark two new teleport points and cancel them at any time to remark them (activated);"

"Effect 2: Link to the nearest new world and establish a 'door' there (currently unavailable)."

"Description: The effect of Stellar Shift has reached dark gold (incomparable) standards, but your strength is too weak to use it smoothly and proficiently."

"Please continue to enhance your strength, and obtain high-quality entries at the right time for your door to devour, in order to activate the second effect of 'Stellar Shift'."

Shen Ye almost couldn't help cheering.

Every time he teleported, he emerged in the tunnels of that battlefield and then had to travel a long distance to get anywhere; he was already exhausted!

With this ability, he could set the teleport point in the Nightmare World to Eternal Night City, or the human race's capital Saint Brunos, or the orc's Thunder Fortress—no need for the arduous travel—

He would be able to start a spontaneous journey anytime!

As for not being able to use the second effect yet, it wasn't really a big problem.

After all, it was already revealed!

As long as it appeared, there was a chance to realize it!

It wouldn't hurt to try to level up his strength while wandering a few more times, perhaps he might activate it then?

Besides—

How exactly did that dark gold-level entry "Joyous Being" work?

Before understanding how to use it, he couldn't just recklessly activate it!

So, why not experiment?

After all, the effect of this entry can be canceled at any time!

"Big Skeleton," Shen Ye called out.

"What?"

"Come out, we need to discuss something."

"Oh... Yes, we need to talk about the trip to hell."

The ring moved.

The Big Skeleton appeared directly, sitting in front of the fire.

"How about we find some fun before discussing serious matters?" Shen Ye said.

——The entry "Joyous Being" activated!

Shen Ye's gaze flashed, and he began to carefully observe the changes in the Big Skeleton.

This was a steadfast brother in life and death!

It would never blame me!

"We need to make another trip to Eternal Night City, use your identity as a diva for cover, quickly gather the materials, and then head towards hell," Shen Ye suggested.

The Big Skeleton, oblivious to everything else, earnestly discussed the matter with him.

Shen Ye was about to speak when he suddenly saw a few lines of text form in mid-air:

"You mentioned 'joy,' but you didn't designate a target in your heart."

"Currently, the 'joy' has randomly hit two targets: "

"Shen Ye, Fie Lun."

...Damn it.

He forgot to designate a target, and now he had become part of the fun himself!

Shen Ye got nervous, instinctively straightened up, ready to react at any moment.

After all, this was a dark gold entry!

But then—

Nothing happened.

He didn't receive any attack.

...Right.

There was a sentence in the entry effects:

"You, the entry, and your profession must come together to create joy. When joy exists, the target you designate will be engulfed in the joy you create..."

It seems that I have to create the joy first!

Creating joy on my own, to fall into it...

Could this be a bit too much to play with?

"What's wrong with you? Why do you seem a bit nervous?" the Big Skeleton asked curiously.

"Nothing! You're right, we must work together to get the spellcasting materials sooner," Shen Ye said, hastily continuing the conversation, feeling guilty.

He was interrupted by the Big Skeleton.

There was no time for regrets now.

The entry effect had already been triggered!

Shen Ye suddenly felt his eyelids grow heavy.

Instinctively, he closed his eyes, then opened them—

Without thinking, Shen Ye opened his mouth and couldn't help but sing a line:

"Are you happy?"

With a golden voice, the diva skill automatically activated.

Brilliant Opening!

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh" sounds echoed by the fire, as several figures fell from mid-air, finding their own places to sit.

"The grand performance is about to begin, Shen Ye!"

The figures said in unison.
