Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Alright, it seems I'm safe, my lord," Shen Ye let out a breath of relief.

"What else do you want to know?" Mo Ga Ru asked.

"That's enough, I'll do my best to search for Lord Tian Luo's clues and from them locate Earth Mother, hoping to find some news about the Nightmare Weapon from her—but there is something I want to tell you," Shen Ye said.

"Speak."

"You don't have to take the negotiations at the table seriously, just feign compliance."

"My lord, this will give me more time to search for Earth Mother."

Mo Ga Ru suddenly laughed.

"My lord, why do you laugh?" Shen Ye asked in surprise.

"So you lack confidence in us, that's why you ask so much," Mo Ga Ru said.

"That's not it, I just think it takes time to gather some intel," Shen Ye retorted.

"That's exactly what lacking confidence is," Mo Ga Ru pointed at him and said.

Shen Ye opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

He keenly noticed something.

—At the moment, Mo Ga Ru seemed rather talkative, willing to actively share some matters.

There was no need to refute Mo Ga Ru.

Listening.

That's right.

"Baxter, you're quite insightful, no wonder you get things done in your own way,"

Mo Ga Ru stretched out his hand, grasping towards the void.

The winds of Hell swept across the vast plains, passing through his fingertips, while his face was shadowed by Hell's dim light, only revealing his malevolently gleaming eyes.

"In fact, all of theirs could be easily destroyed," Mo Ga Ru said.

His tone turned to chitchat.

—When in a good mood, he did not mind sharing some positive and uplifting matters with his subordinates.

It helped to invigorate the subordinates, encouraging them to work harder.

"My lord, is this something that can be discussed? If it shouldn't be, I can choose not to listen," Shen Ye said.

"I will do my best to drag out the negotiations," Mo Ga Ru patted his shoulder, "and you must go all out to find Earth Mother, to seek the Nightmare Weapon left by the will of the world."

"Once I have it—"

"The survival of Death Planet will be merely a thought away."

"Understood, lord, when should I set off?" Shen Ye asked.

"I'll give you half a day, deal with your matters at hand, then without wearing the badge, drink the Catastrophe Source Liquid and head out; I've already spoken to Eternal Night City, you'll lead," Mo Ga Ru's head bubbled with characters.

"Yes, my lord," Shen Ye responded.

"Baxter...do something significant, I'm going to give you authority, but you must at least be capable of commanding respect..."

He took out a bottle of Catastrophe Source Liquid and took a sip.

In a moment.

Mo Ga Ru too vanished from the depths of Hell.

Only Shen Ye was left standing on the mountain peak.

His expression slowly changed.

"No, now it seems that the deaths of Tai Yan and Lord Tian Luo were premeditated."

"Mo Ga Ru is responsible for the Great Tomb Below, Nine Aspects for Hell, and the ones directly attacking Death Planet were Tai Yan and Lord Tian Luo."

"...Tai Yan got devoured, Lord Tian Luo was killed by his own hand, all subordinates gone."

"Is there any clue to what exactly happened between them?"

"Wait a second!"

Shen Ye suddenly remembered something.

He took out a bottle of Catastrophe Source Liquid and drank it.

...

Main World.

Jade Capital.

Shen Ye appeared in a secluded alleyway.

Since Mo Ga Ru had given half a day, he would make good use of this half-day!

He looked around.

There was nobody.

But he was still not at ease.

After all, what he was about to do next was extremely important and critical!

Shen Ye walked out of the alley, hailed a taxi, and went straight to the Renjian Wudao Building, where he opened a room using his identity.

"Underworld Lord, please help me check if there's anyone spying around," Shen Ye said quietly.

"There's nobody," Miket Tikaxiwa responded.

Shen Ye then stood in front of the room's wall, pressed his hand against it, and whispered, "Door."

A door appeared.

Shen Ye opened the door, stepped through, and immediately arrived at the Panda Agency.

He knocked on the door.

"Waha, welcome! My good brother Shen Ye!"

Tie Nan the Panda opened the door, uttering a strange cry.

"I'm here to rest for a while," Shen Ye said.

"For you, a ten percent discount today."

"That good?"

"Last time, when a few beauties from other parks came to the Yujing Zoo for an exchange, you immediately sent over so many fresh bamboo shoots—godlike assist!"

Shen Ye looked at its dark, heavy eye circles and expressed his concern, "Take care to rest."

"One must enjoy life while one can," Tie Nan dismissed with a wave of his hand.

It walked to the wall, pressed a hand against it.

A door opened.

"Have you seen anyone else with the 'Door' ability?" Shen Ye asked.

"Heard of it, haven't seen it—nowadays, everyone is silently accumulating Strength, working hard for their 'Door' to grow," Tie Nan said.

"Is there some kind of danger?" Shen Ye inquired.

"Of course, in this entire universe and its numerous worlds, who wouldn't covet our 'Door'? I've heard there are some particularly formidable ones with the power to seize doors."

"Then we need to be cautious."

Shen Ye opened his phone and transferred the money to Panda.

Panda's face creased with a smile as it nodded and bowed, "Please, come in—my resting room guarantees to isolate everything. It can not only restore Physical Strength but is also very safe. Plus, you can receive a random blessing when you leave."

"Alright."

Shen Ye strode through the door.

The door closed behind him.

"Why choose this place?" Miket Tikaxiwa asked.

"Because as one of the 'Door' ability users, I can indeed sense that this place is extremely private and sealed off," Shen Ye explained further, "—this kind of ability from the next Era is indeed the best protection I can think of."

"Alright, you can start now," Miket Tikaxiwa said.

"You're curious as well, aren't you?" Shen Ye said.

"Yes, I want to know what the answer is," Miket Tikaxiwa admitted.
