Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

The second hand ticked.

The second second.

All their heads disappeared without a trace.

The air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.

"Although it's a bit unclean, Baxter, your identity hasn't been exposed, sister guarantees this,"

Charlotte said with a murderous smile on her face, giggling.

In the great hall.

Blood.

It covered the ground.

Everyone else except Mo Ga Ru, Charlotte, and Shen Ye was dead.

They were devoured alive, leaving no bones behind, only blood that covered the walls and floor.

"I've crushed their souls to bits; they won't even make it to Hell, let alone betray you."

"You can rest assured."

Mo Ga Ru stood to the side, stretching out a hand in disgust and manipulating a Spell Seal.

A fierce wind swept through the hall.

All traces of blood were cleaned up.

The old butler and his entire Patrol Group seemed as if they had never existed.

That recent interrogation seemed like a non-existent dream.

"It's also time to restrain them a bit. They're not good at their jobs but are getting better at dealing with their own people,"

Mo Ga Ru said, typing something out above his head.

Shen Ye stood across from the two, being looked at by them, and after a while, he finally spoke up:

"Alright, then I'll make a trip."

"Out of respect, we will go too," Charlotte said.

She turned to Mo Ga Ru, "And we'll see what they're capable of on the way; if they're too weak, the alliance has no significance."

"Agreed," Mo Ga Ru said, "I'll join in if needed."

"Of course, the same goes for me," Charlotte said.

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

He was about to say something more when he saw a glow emerge in the void, gathering into words:

"Two 'Five Desires' world's bosses backing you up shows that you've gained a firm foothold in this world, and from now on, no one will dare to lay hands on you easily because they've already learned a bloody lesson."

"Vampire Baxter, your reputation will spread even further."

"Keep up the good work! Just a little more reputation accumulation and your entry 'Vampire Kid' will reach Legendary Level!"

All the tiny words disappeared without a trace.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze as well.

The entry of "Vampire Kid" is quite useful; he must pay attention to it.

But for now, there are more important things to do.

...

One hour later.

Death Planet.

Yu Jing City.

Deep in the alley across the street from the World Museum.

A noodle shop.

The melancholic and handsome Vampire Baxter had transformed into the human Shen Ye, sitting at a table, eating a bowl of noodles.

Charlotte and Mo Ga Ru sat on his left and right respectively.

In front of them were also bowls of beef noodle soup, fried skewers, braised eggs, and drinks.

"Do vampires get used to eating human food?" Mo Ga Ru asked.

"It's alright, we were so poor back then that we could only eat dirt—human food is far better than dirt," Shen Ye replied.

Mo Ga Ru looked as if he was struck by the comment.

Eating dirt... that was quite poor.

Charlotte observed the surroundings and suddenly said, "A lot of people are coming. They're establishing a barrier."

The three of them fell silent.

Establishing a barrier—were they planning to trap them?

At that moment,

Neither Mo Ga Ru nor Charlotte were particularly nervous.

They chose to trust Baxter—

Because from beginning to end, his abilities had proven worthy of their trust.

When Shen Ye took his second bite of noodles, the curtain was pulled open, and a figure walked in.

—It was a dashing elderly man with long hair.

He wore an ancient robe and had a long string of disheveled jade tokens hanging around his waist; an uninhibited smile was on his face as he sat down opposite the three of them.

"Sorry, I am a bit late."

"Shen Ye, your strength is too weak, go stand outside for now, and when your teacher arrives, bring him here," he said.
Your journey continues at empire

"Where's my teacher?" Shen Ye asked.

"Your teacher is busy integrating the Nightmare World and presiding over the Ritual Technique for the distribution of Tarot battle cards, so I had to step in temporarily to greet the two 'Five Desires' Supreme Beings." The man said, smiling genially.

"Ah, okay, let me introduce, this is the head of the Five Great Families, the Nangong Family Head," Shen Ye said.

"These two are Charlotte and Mo Ga Ru, top powerhouses of the 'Five Desires'."

"You all chat for a bit, I'll excuse myself."

Having said that, Shen Ye got up and walked out of the noodle shop.

As Mo Ga Ru watched him leave, he was about to say something but suddenly realized the scene around them was changing.

The noodle shop vanished.

He and Charlotte found themselves sitting on an open lawn.

Instead of the dirty dining table, there was a wooden table.

A vase with flowers emitting a misty fog was set on it.

A pot of wine.

Three cups.

Surrounding them was an immense, endless void.

And the lawn was resting on the back of a huge turtle.

The turtle carried the three of them, soaring freely through the blank world.

"Dharma Realm?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes, with honored guests visiting, I, of course, invited you to our Nangong Family's Mount Luofu," the Nangong Family Head said with an appropriately modest smile.

Charlotte and Mo Ga Ru followed his gaze to see a mountain emitting light in the distance.

"That's some powerful Power of Laws... is that your family's Divine Artifact?" Mo Ga Ru inquired.

"One of them, just one," the Nangong Family Head said, waving his hand somewhat bashfully.

"So you aren't natives of Death Planet, either," Charlotte remarked.

"Certainly not—we're just among the many refugees packed onto Death Planet," the Nangong Family Head replied.

"Usually, we only take care of our own and are too lazy to deal with other powers."

"But this time, it's a big deal; everyone wants to slack off, and I got kicked out to reluctantly do some directing, sigh, it's quite a hassle."
