Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

“996, huh?”
“No, 007.”
“Hisss—why bother,” the Big Skeleton shook its head, lamenting, “Even we Undead don’t dare to clash head-on with capitalists.”
Shen Ye extended four fingers and said,
“I’ve only killed four spirits; that guy isn’t dead yet—he has an entire tree’s worth of souls.”
“What exactly is it?” asked the Big Skeleton, curiously.
Shen Ye did not make a sound.
He closed his eyes slightly, opened the “intelligence” link, and connected to the core of the Primordial from The Fifth Epoch Ultimate Power.
Hurry.
While it’s hot—
Collect the fragments of that Magic Slayer’s body.
See what it really is.
—It’s dangerous!
Shen Ye silently issued a warning to the multi-layered universe, then turned his head to look out the window.
Below, the ground suddenly turned swamp-like, gradually swallowing the pile of corpse flesh.
—There shouldn’t be any tricks left.
If the will of the entire multi-layered universe and the ultimate power it wields from The Fifth Epoch cannot deal with a single corpse of the adversary—
Then there’s no point in analyzing intelligence.
Just wait for death.
One Breath.
Two Breaths.
Three Breaths.
Lines of faintly glowing characters silently emerged:
“Tracing back to the Epoch Seal through the residual power of the Dharma Aspect.”
“The original Epoch Seal was not perfect, ultimately leaving a gap in the rules, allowing ‘End Master of All Epochs’ to release one-thousandth of its will and power.”
“This corpse contains the residual power left by the adversary.”
An epiphany struck Shen Ye.
For countless years,
The Blood Man has been aware of that monster’s plans and methods while being sealed.
That is why he left behind the warning “the white horse is not a horse.”
This human is clearly not a normal one.
“Is the body that of a human, or transformed by the monster?” Shen Ye asked the most crucial point.
A line of characters emerged:
“It is of a human.”
Shen Ye’s heart sank.
Trouble.
If it’s human, it means that the monster is controlling the strong among beings.
It seems to be searching for Heaven Connecting Technique while harvesting the ultimate power of the multi-layered universe in The Fifth Epoch.
It’s like a botfly larva.
It burrows into the flesh and blood of the host, drawing nutrients to ensure its growth and reproduction.
A troublesome fellow.
“Killing the human it controls, could it weaken it?” Shen Ye asked.
“Currently unknown, more body samples needed for detailed analysis.”
Shen Ye fell silent.
Currently,
His only advantage is that the other party only knows he’s strong but has yet to probe his foundation.
Fortunately, he has memories of another life.
Therefore, it can’t know that he is the heir to the Heaven Connecting Technique!
Maybe after going out, it would still continue to look for him.
No.
It definitely will.
Troublesome.
However—
Having experienced the Primordial Ruins and obtained this intelligence, there is one thing he can now decide.
Shen Ye’s thoughts moved.
Lines of faintly glowing characters instantly emerged:
“You can choose to upgrade the ‘Seal Gate’ to level 1, or forfeit your current ‘seal’-type gate power and acquire a new unknown gate power (also at level 1).”
“Ready to make a choice?”
The Seal Gate often had various extreme and evil entities sealed within it.
But—
Now with the advent of the Primordial Ruins, unknown and terrifying monsters abound within.
From now on, he had to focus on dealing with the Primordial Ruins.
There was no time to deal with those sealed entities.
Gate power—
It would be best if it could enhance his combat response level.
“Forego the current ‘seal’-type gate power.”
Shen Ye silently recited.
Two lines of characters jumped out:
“0-level Seal Gate has been forfeited.”
“You have acquired a new level 1 gate power.”
After a moment’s silence,
Shen Ye tentatively reached out and pressed into the void, exclaiming in a low voice:
“Gate!”
The new gate appeared in front of Shen Ye.
This gate, however, was different from those level 0 gates in the past.
When a former gate appeared, it was just a single door, ready to be pushed open.
This time,
The new gate resembled the main entrance of an ancient noble family’s house, with two doors joined together on the left and right, tightly closed.
The left door was inscribed with “Ghost,” and the right with “God.”
A strange and terrifying aura emanated from the gate, blending with the desolation and solitude of the Abandoned Exchange.
