Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

But as the days passed reciting the Spell,

He gradually entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

Days went by.

He sat atop a large tree, motionless.

The leaves turned yellow, withered, and fell.

The snow arrived.

The entire forest was covered in heavy snow.

The snow melted.

Thunder Shock in the winter, spring rains arrive, sprouting new branches.

Shen Ye wholeheartedly merged into the Spell, oblivious to the changing of seasons.

The Formless Heavenly Demon Saint King and the Big Skeleton Fei Lun patiently guarded him on both sides.

Until the night sky of summer twinkled with countless stars.

In the void.

Tiny characters shimmered into view:

“Divine Curse has refined the entry ‘Subduing Demon Mountain God’, reassembling its various rule outlines to form the embryonic Dharma Aspect:”

“Heaven-Shaking Divine Mountain.”

“You are the owner of the Immortal Country Dharma Body, which already contains the Heavenly Technique and the Heaven Connecting Technique of Blood Moon along with the Soul Palace Dharma Aspect.”

“Heaven-Shaking Divine Mountain, Blood Moon, Soul Palace have all gathered.”

“Heaven-Shaking Divine Mountain will merge with your Immortal Country Dharma Body ‘Taiyi Prolonging Life Salvation Dream Divine Palace’.”

“Beginning the integration.”

All the characters vanished.

The next instant.

Rows of bright red characters quietly appeared:

“Warning!”

“An unknown event is about to occur!”

“This is something beyond the reach of all beings and All Things!”

“You must delay time, wait for the Dharma Aspect to fully integrate, then you can break free from the unknown event!”

“—Please delay the time!”

Shen Ye opened his eyes, staring bewilderedly at these prompts.

Indeed.

How could he have not thought of this.

Heaven Connecting Technique, Heavenly Technique, Heaven-Shaking Technique Dharma Aspects have all gathered!

But so what if the Dharma Aspects have gathered?

Why would an unknown event occur?

Suddenly.

A voice echoed in his ear:

“At last, a being has reached this step, making my endless suffering and struggles worthwhile.”

Creator Qiaruqituolike!

A chill ran through Shen Ye’s heart, and he was about to speak when the other continued:

“Our time is short, you must listen to me carefully.”

The Creator’s voice became urgent and clear:

“In a moment, you will see four corpses.”

“The one in the blood-red robe with long hair, that’s me.”

“Carry my body on your back, and they won’t be able to detect you.”

“Remember two things:”

“First, do not stay in places where they hate you;”

“Second, the power of your entry is not high enough to be effective—do not fight at all, even at my peak I was only fit to be killed, you got that? Absolutely do not!”

As soon as the voice fell.

Shen Ye only felt a blur around him.

Creator Qiaruqituolike’s voice became ethereal.

The whole world began to drift away.

The next instant.

He suddenly found himself standing amidst darkness.

There was light above.

—What place is this?

He looked around and saw what appeared to be a huge underground cavern, and he was at the bottom of it.

It also resembled a vast well.

Standing in the shadow at the bottom of the well, only when looking up could he see the dim light of the irregular mouth of the well.

Wait a minute.

Shen Ye looked around again, a chill rising in his heart.

The walls of the well were entirely made of skulls.

On the walls, various bizarre skulls, just like bricks, were stacked in a circular wall extending to the mouth of the well.

Although he was in the darkness, several skulls were already stirring.

They seemed to sense his presence!

Shen Ye tensed up.

From the humble instincts of living beings, he could fully understand the power and madness of these skulls.

Even though they had no Life Force.

Not far from him, a skull suddenly emitted a dull, low hum.

—What does it want?

Shen Ye suddenly turned his head, a bad premonition arising.

That skull was not human, resembling an extremely bloated Fly Head, yet it had a human mouth.

Its teeth clacked together, making a “giggling” noise.

It stared at Shen Ye.

As if Shen Ye was a being it hated immensely.

Dead silence, no sound.

Shen Ye suddenly realized.

Right.

The corpses…

He no longer looked at that eerie Fly Head, but rather glanced around and indeed saw several corpses.

Two of them had completely turned into Skeletons.

The third was a headless corpse.

Only the fourth was the long-haired female corpse described by Creator Qiaruqituolike.

Shen Ye cautiously moved towards it, lifted the body, and then carried it on his back.

“Do not stay in places that hate you.”

That Fly Head was strange.

—Get out of its line of sight!

In that moment, Shen Ye, relying entirely on his instincts, quickly moved towards the other side of the well.

The bottom of the well was rugged—

No.

On closer inspection, the floor of the well was also entirely filled with various bizarre heads.

These uneven organs made the path difficult to navigate.

Shen Ye, carrying the female corpse, stepped on countless skulls, gently moving in the darkness.

—The sound made by that Fly Head earlier made him uncomfortable.

He felt something was going to happen.

He must get away from that place!

Sand… Sand…

A slight noise came from the way he had come.

Shen Ye looked back.

He saw a dark-colored body—

Calling it a body because the upper half was filled with human flesh, but the lower half was just black Skeleton.

This semi-human Monster faced Shen Ye’s direction, slowly descending.

No—

It was not descending, but rather its back was covered with more than a dozen tentacles.

These tentacles continuously stabbed into the walls, allowing it to slowly reach the bottom of the well by climbing.

“Giggling—”

The noise from the Fly Head became louder, as if it was trying to communicate something.
