Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Your Highness, please don't."

The lead diva Baxter grasped a bath towel in a panic and wrapped it around his body.

Mo Ga Ru walked out with a full face of dark lines and asked the two guards in a low voice,

"Has he been here the whole time?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I've been watching him the whole time, Your Highness."

The two Royal Guards said in unison.

Mo Ga Ru nodded slightly and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Was it really just his overthinking?

"Baxter, don't misunderstand, I was chasing that assassin just now—you're free now!"

Mo Ga Ru gestured to the two Royal Guards, signaling that they could leave.

At the same time.

He took a sip of the Catastrophe Source Liquid and also vanished from the room.

When Shen Ye emerged wrapped in a bath towel, the lounge was empty.

"Hmph!"

"Pervert."

He spat disdainfully, quickly closing the door to his room and locking it.

Then—

He stepped through the bathroom doorway and casually removed the "Unique Gateway" spell from the door.

Returned to the Great Tomb.

Switched back to his immobile body.

Stood there.

Waiting.

Before long.

Suddenly.

Mo Ga Ru reappeared in the corridor.

"My lord?"

Shen Ye looked at him, puzzled.

But Mo Ga Ru's expression was somewhat different.

"Servant of the Nine Aspects," Mo Ga Ru seemed to struggle, his murderous aura dispersing and condensing intermittently, "how did you get here?"

"Through the test, actually. By simply dealing with things from the standpoint of the Great Tomb, one can pass," replied Shen Ye.

Mo Ga Ru nodded slightly.

He wasn't wrong.

Facing all sorts of monsters, zombies, and tomb robbers trying to invade the Great Tomb, eliminating threats to the tomb was indeed likely to earn one recognition as an associate of the tomb.

But—

For a servant to achieve this was a bit too excellent.

Kill.

Or not to kill?

Forget it.

Kill indeed.

For peace of mind.

Mo Ga Ru raised his hand and spoke,

"Things are getting more complicated and mysterious; now, I must eliminate all doubts, with or without evidence."

"What do you mean?" Shen Ye asked.

"Even though you appear to have no issues, I've decided to kill you, so at least I no longer have to suspect you," Mo Ga Ru said.

"—Had it been before, I wouldn't have done this, but now that problems have arisen in all areas, I must be cautious."

He trusted his instincts!

Despite no evidence of a flaw, he still intended to kill me!

At that moment.

Shen Ye couldn't help but admire the other party.

Very cautious.

This is what a big shot looks like.

And utterly ruthless—

No matter the evidence, just to kill you, thereby eliminating any potential hidden danger.

"My lord, after all my hard work, is this my end? I thought I could secure a good position and avoid death," Shen Ye said with a bitter smile and a shake of his head.

Mo Ga Ru's face remained calm as he spoke:

"Blame only your fragile and humble power; weakness is your original sin."

At that moment.

Shen Ye's body, covered in the insect race's Runes of Descent, seemed to sense the approach of death and began to tremble slightly.

Within the Dharma Aspect.

The Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa set down his wine glass, his hands forming Spell Seals, making ready for battle.

A faint light began to show in Shen Ye's eyes.

The Female Art Spirit suddenly said,

"I remind you, the 'Three Disasters' have already erupted."

A spark went through Shen Ye's mind.

Indeed.

He had consumed the superior Reincarnation Elixir and received the legacy of the "Thinking of You" Space-Time Blade.

The time of one incense stick had passed.

The corresponding test was coming!

So what should he do?

Shen Ye took a deep breath, and the about-to-emerge Frostfire in his eyes disappeared unnoticed.

He looked at Mo Ga Ru, feeling a bit reluctant.

—The secrets of the "Five Desires" world, as well as the Nine Aspects' experiences, and even that King of the Fallen Wicked Ghouls' Cursed Sculpture.

All the secrets.

Standing on the side of "Five Desires," he would uncover the truth faster.

But now he had to abandon it.

...Could he make it in time?

Let's give it a try, just in case he couldn't make it...

He had to try.

"My lord, there is something else I'd like to tell you," Shen Ye said.

"Is it a last word? Or something else?" Mo Ga Ru asked.

—This subordinate had indeed achieved a great deal; how would the Nine Aspects feel if he were to kill him?

"There's trouble in hell, my Lord, please be careful in the future," Shen Ye said.

Mo Ga Ru's expression shifted.

This kid even found out about that?

Impressive.

Too bad he was about to die by his hand.

Mo Ga Ru didn't plan to say anything further, only raised his hand, preparing to cast the Technique.

A sudden upheaval occurred—

The entire underground passage was filled with a rustling commotion.

The ground shook incessantly.

What was happening?
