Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Jiu sneaked a glance at the employees’ records.
She saw them casually write a few lines like “color, characteristics, item storage time” on paper, and that counted as completing their task.
Hiss——
It really is quite relaxing here.
But, in reality, it’s not safe at all!
Once the work was done, the several individuals exited the warehouse in turn.
Jiu looked back.
That finger lay quietly within the crystal seal.
Surrounding it were strange and quirky objects.
They all seemed harmless.
The warehouse didn’t have any special defenses, only some somewhat tight rune arrays maintaining their Technique sealing form.
“Go back and rest, come again tomorrow.” Qinglang said.
“Yes.” Jiu turned around and left without hesitation.
——Today’s work was done.
Jiu quietly left the building, returned to the sixth floor of the employee dormitory building, room 607.
She swiped her card to enter.
The room was empty.
This was the dormitory assigned to her; if she needed anything, she’d have to buy it herself.
Jiu plopped down to sit on the floor, exhaling a light breath.
“Hmm… there really was a bit of a problem.”
She muttered to herself quietly.
In the void.
A line of faint glowing text was already floating:
“Your gate power is damaged, you cannot display further information.”
The headache from earlier was the physical sensation of her damaged gate power, causing her soul and body to start feeling pain.
“Hiss—It really hurts—”
Jiu held her head, wanting to rest a bit.
But it’s not the time yet.
She steadied herself, carefully thought over the entire situation, and then took out a card.
Once her spiritual power was infused, the card was activated.
“Is something the matter?”
Jie’s voice came from the card.
“Which departments do you oversee?” Jiu inquired.
Jie immediately replied in a tone as if he already knew:
“I am in charge of the Special Operations Team—don’t aim too high, work at the Ether Affairs Department, and once you build enough strength, then move to handle items above a B-level task force.”
The communication was cut off.
Jiu stared at the card in front of her, speechless for a long time.
Tsk.
You, Saint, are really incompetent.
You couldn’t even detect such a terrifying finger…
If things go terribly wrong, it won’t be easy to handle.
Jiu thought about it for a while.
——It’s fine.
Jie isn’t in charge of this “Ether Affairs Department,” so if something goes wrong there, it won’t implicate him.
As long as he stays put, she would have backing.
Additionally.
She needed to repair her gate power as soon as possible.
“Charlotte, my gate power is damaged, how can I restore it?” Shen Ye asked.
“Absorb other gate powers.” Charlotte replied.
“Other gate powers…”
“Yes, I have prepared a Panda for you, if you need it, I can send it over.”
“Forget it, I’ll find another way.”
Jiu suddenly recalled that back in the Dream World, there seemed to be two types of gate power.
Shaluo Double Tree!
——Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and Impermanence Evil Path!
“Stand guard for me, conceal all auras.” Jiu said.
In the next moment.
Charlotte, Su Su, Uncle Qi, and the Chaos Ship quietly appeared in the room, each standing in a corner.
They released their own powers, constructing a sealing barrier of power.
“It’s done.”
Charlotte said.
Only then did Jiu raise her hand, gently invoking the Dream Realm Rules.
The mayor’s illusory figure quietly appeared.
——It is the embodiment of the Dream Realm Rules!
“I remember the Dream World had a gate power inheritance of the Shaluo Double Tree.” Jiu said.
“There really is, it was a fortunate coincidence back then.” the mayor replied.
“Isn’t it a capability of the Dream Realm Rules?” Jiu asked, puzzled.
“Gate power is extremely rare among the Myriad Realms because it originally fell from the Other Shore.”
“Such power cannot be produced within the Myriad Realms.”
“Perhaps the existence of the Other Shore possesses the method to give birth to this power.” the mayor explained.
Jiu, however, looked towards Charlotte.
Charlotte chuckled, sighed, and said, “Back then, as I roamed the Myriad Realms, I found gate power extremely useful, so I found a way to derive it through the Era.”
“I’ve always wondered why no one learned and used gate power on a large scale.”
“Because you simply can’t.” Jiu and the mayor said in unison.
The Other Shore…
Sure enough, gate power comes from the Other Shore!
So, within the Myriad Realms, only a scant few can acquire it.
But to create gate power——
Only a creation of truth like Charlotte from the Other Shore can accomplish this!
So—
The prompt I saw earlier saying “unrecognizable without the gate power” is entirely logical.
Jiu suddenly remembered something else and couldn’t help but speak:
“If the Shaluo Double Tree’s gate power is so strong, why was Ullric still tricked by Old John?”
“Because most of his energy was focused on forging the high-dimensional Holy Ladder—his predecessor was also doing this, so he hasn’t been able to develop his gate power well,” the mayor said.
“It’s irrational,” Jiu commented.
“There was no choice—he sensed that those Saints were about to act, and the only way to escape completely was the high-dimensional ladder—a path you’ve just escaped through,” the mayor said.
Jiu sighed.
The undercurrents within the Myriad Realms were turbulent and deadly.
—I almost ended up dead too.
Before, there was still the only retreat, the Truth World.
Now, I can’t even go to the Truth World.
So Ullric really had no other way.
It’s simply a tragedy.
Jiu felt a bit wary and alert.
In the future, I must be extremely cautious, or I might meet my end unexpectedly.
As for now—
—let’s repair the gate power first!
“With Ullric’s death, his Shaluo Double Tree legacy is now available, along with some subsequent Dual Tree Secret Runes, all of which I’ll give to you,” the mayor said.
“Alright,” Jiu replied.
Her hand penetrated the void, beginning to receive the legacy.
Meanwhile.
Lines of words softly appeared:
“You start using the entry ‘Mandala Uroboros’ to absorb everything related to the Shaluo Double Tree.”
“The current gate power legacy begins to merge with your ‘Gate of Spirit Communication.'”
“Congratulations.”
“This fusion has resulted in a super evolution.”
“Given your damaged gate power, this evolution first aims to repair your gate power before further evolving.”
“It will take 24 hours.”
“Please wait.”
“—the battle prompts from the gate power can now be used normally.”
That’s settled.
Should I check out that finger?
Jiu quickly decided.
—No.
Just act like I know nothing.
Live quietly.
Thud, thud, thud—
A knock came at the door.
Several truth creations looked towards Jiu.
Jiu nodded.
In an instant.
They withdrew the seal and returned to the Dharma Aspect.
Only then did Jiu stand up and open the door.
It was almost noon.
The staff members of various departments had already left for lunch.
Therefore, Jiu saw the fat, ugly woman named Little Hua blocking the door with five or six men and women.
“That’s her!” Little Hua exclaimed.
Bam!
Jiu closed the door.
—I really don’t want to cause trouble.
I just mentioned this, and my superior Qinglang even gave me an afternoon off because of it.
Got to give my superior some face.
Jiu took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, and quietly waited for them to leave.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Little Hua’s voice suddenly came through the door gap:
“I know who you are.”
“—Your mom died on the Other Shore, didn’t she?”
“The daughter of a trash is also trash, begged Lord Jie in that way to get a job—everyone knows how you got in.”
Jiu’s eyes lit up.
Since ancient times.
Our Split Bee Clan has always been if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them.
“You said it, okay?”
She said softly, her hand lifting her beautiful long hair, and then—
Boom!
The dormitory door was kicked open.
The crowd only saw a streak flashing by.
Little Hua was caught by the throat by a long-haired beauty and flung from the sixth floor, pinned against the opposite office building’s wall.
“I love it when people bully me the most.”
Jiu whispered in her ear, opening her hand, starting to slap the other.
“Stop!”
Several men and women shouted.
They flew towards Jiu.
Jiu smiled.
Fighting with you can help me establish the character of a Split Bee Clan girl.
A reliable persona.
Then I’m safe!
—Bring it on!
