Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Miket Tikaxiwa said.

Shen Ye nodded, touched the ring, and took out a Nightmare Crystal emitting a dark gold glow.

As soon as the Nightmare Crystal was taken out, a row of faintly glowing small letters appeared in the void:

"????"

—An unrecognizable Nightmare Crystal!

This was a relic of Tian Luo.

At the time he was struck by "Destiny's End · Banner of the Nest", and was also influenced by Master Wei's teachings, he dropped this thing upon his death.

I've always been too busy to study it.

However.

Four of the top fighters of the "Five Desires" are already two dead.

—Mo Ga Ru and the Nine Aspects cooperated in the shadows, trapping and killing the other two.

There must be some kind of secret plot unknown to others within this.

What could it be?

Tai Yan was consumed, Tian Luo was disintegrated.

To gain any clue, I could only pray that this relic of Tian Luo's was useful.

Shen Ye squeezed hard.

Crack!

The Nightmare Crystal immediately shattered.

Within the rising mist of dark gold, a sound like a heavy object hitting the ground resonated.

Thud.

A steel box about three meters long and one and a half meters wide appeared in front of Shen Ye.

Nightmare Crystals can be used to store items, skills, knowledge, and even for things like transmitting messages.

But this steel box was still beyond Shen Ye's expectations.

The faintly glowing small letters still displayed "????"

"Underworld Lord, have you ever seen such a thing?"

Shen Ye asked.

"Let me think... I seem to have seen it somewhere, but that's a very distant memory..." Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa said.

Shen Ye went ahead and asked the skeleton: "How come it shows the color of dark gold when we can't even figure out what it is?"

"The color of the Nightmare Crystal is determined by its status in the Dharma Realm," the skeleton said.

Shen Ye knocked on the rectangular steel box with his hand.

The sound was loud and clear.

It was hollow inside.

"Seal," the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa suddenly transmitted, "This is an extremely powerful cosmic seal; whatever is inside must be astonishing."

Suddenly.

A deep voice emanated from the steel box:

"Quite rare, you managed to find an 'absolutely safe' place."

Shen Ye was startled.

—Wasn't it sealed?

Who was inside?

Should I respond?

Perhaps by speaking, the other party could detect from my voice that I'm not Tian Luo.

But to remain completely silent would also seem strange.

Never mind.

Things that truly happened can't be wrong.

"Lord Tian Luo has fallen in battle, and I have inherited his will; I come here to communicate with you," Shen Ye said solemnly.

That voice immediately responded: "Well, if you are his successor, that's good, if you're not, it doesn't matter either."

"Why?" Shen Ye asked.

"Tai Yan and Tian Luo's secret plot was discovered by Mo Ga Ru, that's the reason for their death," the voice said.

"—If you can't overcome this, you too will die with this object in your possession," the voice added.

"So why, why were the two Lords discovered? Where was the problem?" Shen Ye asked calmly.

"You've touched on a crucial point, which I could have kept to myself, but since you found me, I might as well tell you," the voice continued.

"I'm all ears," Shen Ye said.

"Listen—everything was going smoothly. Tian Luo and Tai Yan's plot was advancing quickly and they were about to gain control over the entire 'Five Desires' world and even secure support from another world, but then it was suddenly exposed."

"Tai Yan is dead, Tian Luo is dead—and many of our secret chess pieces buried in the dark have perished as well."

"In fact, if I hadn't always been by his side, there was no way to detect the truth."

"That irremediable flaw—"

"—It's called 'the Prophetic Poem of Death'."

"What?" Shen Ye repeated.

"Murder of the Nine Aspects was all set up perfectly, but did you know, Mo Ga Ru has a special 'Name' that he kept very hidden and only revealed when using it," the voice explained.

"What is its effect?" Shen Ye, unable to restrain his interest, asked.

The voice grew somber, perhaps recalling a recent failure:

"The incomparable 'Name', the Prophetic Poem of Death."

"Everything will unfold according to the poem."

"—On a future day, any matter that threatens Mo Ga Ru will be accurately revealed in the poem, irretrievably bound by its verses."

"It can be used once every three days."

"—It was by this 'Name' that Mo Ga Ru discovered Tian Luo and Tai Yan's plan, so he in turn laid out his own and eliminated them."

"Let me give you a piece of advice as a parting gift."

"He last deployed this power two days and 23 hours ago."

"In less than an hour, he will be able to invoke the 'Prophetic Poem of Death' again."

"Should he become suspicious of you, or should you pose a threat to him in the coming day, everything you do will be revealed by the poem."

"He will definitely use the prophecy to find where you are hiding and try to kill you." Read the latest on empire

"—That's all I have to say."

"If you survive, contact us again."

The voice vanished.

Shen Ye stood still for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, grabbed the rectangular steel box, and rushed out of the rest area.

"Hey, you're leaving? Didn't you just go in?"

Tie Nan asked, puzzled.

Shen Ye didn't have time to respond, opened the door, and directly returned to the Main World.

Damn it!

Mo Ga Ru actually had a Dark Gold Entry as well!

What's called "incomparable" in one's own abilities is manifested as a Dark Gold Entry.

A trace of apprehension appeared in Shen Ye's eyes.
