Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

A grand performance...

Is it about to begin?

There was excitement and urgency in the voices of several people.

Shen Ye focused his gaze and saw that these individuals were Bai Longma, Li Kui, Diao Chan, and Jia Baoyu.

Wow!

All four of the great classical novels represented!

A line of small print emerged, "Diva Skill can perfectly match all abilities."

"Under the enhancement of the Diva Skill, you and the entry begin to create negative music."

"You are forcibly pulled into your own negative music, simultaneously creating and enduring it."

"Enjoying it will grant you 'Positive' negative music effects, whereas resisting or breaking free will grant you 'Negative' negative music effects."

A mixed skill, really?

Shen Ye bit his lip—

In ancient times, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, today I, Shen Ye, personally test the negative music.

Since the negative music has started, might as well fully grasp the power of this entry!

He suddenly stood up, looked at the four legendary characters before him, and asked with clasped fists:

"Brothers and sisters, may I ask what kind of performance is this?"

"Playful singing and dancing—no commercial breaks, sing to your heart's content all the way to the Western Paradise!" Bai Longma said.

"Eat big chunks of meat, drink from large bowls!" Li Kui said.

"This slave can spice things up." Diao Chan laughed, covering her mouth.

"If today is fun, I'll bring two sisters along next time," Jia Baoyu said.

Seeing even Jia Baoyu get excited, Shen Ye couldn't help but take a sharp breath and exclaimed:

"Alright! Let's row the oars together!"

Music, begin!

The void trembled in response.

Small glowing characters suddenly appeared:

"You have received the 'Positive' negative music effect:"

"Song and Dance of Youth."

"Description: You are endowed with irresistible attraction, deeply infecting others, making them forget all toils, and fully enjoying their youth through song and dance!"

"—When you sing they also sing, When you dance she also dances, everyone joins together in joy, everybody!"

Shen Ye was the first to be infected by his own creation.

It can't be helped.

Actually, if he had specified a target from the beginning, he wouldn't have been infected and could have observed with composure, calmly considering everything.

But now he's caught in the negative music he created!

There's no salvation now!

He forgot all his worries and concerns, and forcefully pushed the big skeleton.

"Shen Ye—"

The skeleton had barely uttered two words before being interrupted by Shen Ye.

Shen Ye shouted, "Let's dance!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Li Kui, Bai Longma, Jia Baoyu, and Diao Chan lined up behind him in sequence.

"I—" The skeleton hesitated.

"Get in formation!" the five of them glared at it together.

The skeleton looked at their formation and had no choice but to move to the back.

Their formation was like a train—

"Start it up, start it up!"

Shen Ye stepped forward, stomping his feet while dancing and rapping swiftly:

"Bright moonlight before my bed—"

"Hehe ha!" Li Kui called out with both hands on Shen Ye's shoulders.

"Seems like frost on the ground—" Shen Ye said.

"Xilululu—" Bai Longma neighed, his hooves on Li Kui's shoulders.

"YO! YO!" Jia Baoyu chimed in, turning to look at Diao Chan.

"I raise my head to view the moon—" Diao Chan's voice was melodious and moving, shyly looking down.

"I am a little skeleton, strong in seeking revenge!" the skeleton sang.

Shen Ye waved his hand forcefully.

Damned skeleton, you're screwing things up!

Smack!

The music stopped.

"What's going on?" everyone asked in unison.

"Not hyped enough..." Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

"Then what do we do!" everyone said together again.

Shen Ye looked up to the sky.

Several lines of light characters consequently appeared:

"Congratulations."

"You and the entry along with the Diva Skill have created the first piece of negative music:"

"Rabbit Dance."

"Description: Line up front to back, move in unison, follow-the-leader singing and dancing."

"This piece of negative music has been saved."

"Each profession can only create one piece of negative music."

At the same time.

Hongyin Temple.

In front of a damaged divine statue.

Song Qingyun stood with hands behind her back, gazing up at the statue, seemingly preoccupied.

Behind her, within the phantom of nine snakes, one snake head spoke in a human voice:

"You have failed."

Song Qingyun leisurely said,

"I knew from a very young age that this Divine Artifact would never favor me."

"Unless I were the only one of my generation, it wouldn't have a choice."

"But my sister has not died over all these years."

"I did push her hard... but she never died..."

Song Qingyun murmured, seemingly recalling something.

After a moment,

she reached out and grabbed a red long knife from the void, bellowing,

"Shen Ye!"

"If you don't come out, I'll have Song Yinchen killed! The Shen Family will be wiped out, and all your loved ones will die!"

Her voice contained a peculiar Mana.

Dark red tides of shadow also appeared on the blade, seemingly enhancing her Technique.

Song Qingyun's voice traveled far in the deep underground space, echoing endlessly.

In the distance,

on that open ground,

Shen Ye tensed up and immediately became somewhat alert.

A faint light appeared, coalescing into words:

"As the current owner of Negative Music is also under its influence, he is unable to resist the other party's Spirit Soul Bewilderment Technique."

"You've sobered up a bit."

Shen Ye rushed to move, but was pulled back by Bai Longma.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to fight her!"

Shen Ye shouted loudly.

"Today, I won't retrieve the scriptures," Bai Longma cried out.

"I won't kill," Li Kui roared.

"I'm not entering the private room," Diao Chan covered her mouth.

"I'm not looking for Xiren," Jia Baoyu smirked.

"I won't go to Hell," the Skeleton said determinedly.

"Let's party to the max!" they all said in unison.

With five consecutive streams of Negative Music being bestowed—

Shen Ye fell back into a state of joy!

"Wowwww—" He staggered back several steps, raised his thumbs, and shouted, "Great! Let's switch scenes and row the boat once more!"

Before he could finish,

Song Qingyun's voice came again:

"Coward, come out and face me in a life-or-death battle!"

A wisp of undissipating vigilance flickered in Shen Ye's pupils.

—But he was under the influence of Negative Music, unable to control it, and defenseless!

The Skeleton too entered a half-dreamy, half-awake state and slurringly said,

"Switch scenes? Are we going to Eternal Night City? Then I'd better hide!"

"Alright!"

Shen Ye extended his hand, allowing the Skeleton to fly into his ring—

The two really planned to go party in Eternal Night City!

Shen Ye's expression struggled, as if trying to sober up, or perhaps falling into some happiness.

"What's wrong now?"

The Skeleton asked from inside the ring.

"I remembered something, there's a welcome party tonight, and also a tutor assessment," Shen Ye agonized.

"What time is it now—maybe it's already over?" the Skeleton said helplessly.

"No," Shen Ye shook his head, "what's happening here is also important."

He touched the ring and took out something, placing it gently on the ground.

—Another Shen Ye.

Single combat Biochemical Avatar!

"Activate."

Shen Ye ordered.

The Biochemical Avatar opened its eyes, looked around, and then at Shen Ye.

In the vast darkness, there was only Shen Ye.

"Master, please give me an assignment," the Biochemical Avatar said.

"Just act normal as me, don't stand out, just stay here and do nothing," Shen Ye instructed.

"What if there's combat?" the Biochemical Avatar asked.

"Don't concern yourself with others' affairs, but also don't let others bully you, after all, you represent me."

"If anyone provokes, hit them hard, you understand?"

"Understood, master—but what if I can't win?" the Biochemical Avatar inquired.

"Improvise."

"Yes, master."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye took out the "Body of the Earth" plaque given by Centaur Carola, tapped it lightly, and stuffed it in the avatar's pocket.

"Just tap this plaque lightly, and it will turn something into you—even the spirit is simulated precisely the same—to confuse your enemies."

That was Carola's original words.

The avatar was already disguised as him, and now combined with the power of the Earth within the plaque, it amounted to a double disguise!

—That should be enough to confuse many people.

Only then did Shen Ye feel at ease.

He looked around and noticed that all the "Four Great Classics" had disappeared.

Forget it!

To Eternal Night City!

When he started partying again, they would all reappear!

Shen Ye stepped through the doorway, arriving in the secret passage of the Nightmare World.
