Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Shen Ye was startled.

"What will happen? Mo Ga Ru's target is the Nightmare Weapon, but what about the Nine Aspects? What is its target?" he promptly asked.

"Death—all four guards must die, and then it can free itself from the 'Five Desires' cage!" Earth Mother said.

Death... Two guards had already died...

Lilias had died too.

Only Mo Ga Ru remained.

He was the strongest!

"Didn't the Nine Aspects forget itself? So all of this was planned before it lost its sense of self?"

Shen Ye asked.

"I don't know about that—I only deduce the truth through all 'links' related to the Earth, and I don't dare get too close to the Nine Aspects for fear of being discovered," Earth Mother said.

She thought for a moment, then added, "However, it can still cause the death of three guards in succession while forgetting everything, there must be some unknown power at work."

"That force... it led to everything!"

Shen Ye shuddered and blurted out, "Could it be the occupation!"

"You think it's the occupation?" Earth Mother asked.

Shen Ye was about to continue when he suddenly came to his senses and casually said, "I'm just speculating."

Yes.

This matter was too important.

He absolutely couldn't tell Earth Mother, nor could he tell anyone else!

The Nine Aspects' occupation was one that only two entities were allowed to hold in the entire Magic Realm—

the Soulless Master.

One, the Life Soul Master.

The other, the Non-Living Master.

The Nine Aspects was the Life Soul Master, and he had acquired its occupation—

he was the Non-Living Master!

—No matter how much it forgot itself, its occupation wouldn't change!

And as the Non-Living Master, he had obtained the occupation's innate "As Natural" effect—

all 'names' and occupations were completely concealed and undetectable by the Dharma Eye unless he willingly revealed his 'name' for others to see.

If the Nine Aspects also possessed "As Natural," no, it must possess "As Natural"!

A being so powerful, how could it possibly not have a 'name'?

Its 'name' was hidden!

Mo Ga Ru's 'name' was "Prophecy of Death," capable of foreseeing all dangers in the coming day.

—A Dark Gold Entry.

Then.

What about the Nine Aspects?

What terrifying power did its 'name' hold?

He had no idea!

At this moment, Shen Ye was deeply aware of the pivotal role of 'names' in the fate of all beings.

'Names' were extremely difficult to obtain...

Yet so formidable.

What now?

"How ridiculous... Am I supposed to protect Mo Ga Ru? Just me?"

Shen Ye murmured.

Earth Mother said, "Indeed, that's asking too much, we are no match for him."

"Then we'll find another way," Shen Ye said.

"Like what?" Earth Mother asked.

"Find the Nine Aspects! Save Karula!"

Earth Mother's voice did not respond.

Wait—

Think this through.

He said he was too weak to protect Mo Ga Ru.

This is correct.

But he's going to find the Nine Aspects?

Isn't that more dangerous compared to protecting Mo Ga Ru?

"If you're looking for the Nine Aspects, how do you plan to save Karula?" the Earth Mother asked.

"Let's get the work started first."

As his words faded,

Shen Ye pushed the door open and arrived at the underground passage of the Nightmare World.

This was the frontline of the Human Territory.

The passageway.

Shen Ye took a step and walked outside, contemplating his next move.

But the very next second,

the badge pinned to his chest lit up.

The Five Desires Guard Commander badge!

A voice emanated from the badge, "Respected Guard Commander, we are all in Eternal Night City, awaiting your commands!"

Shen Ye nodded thoughtfully.

Yes, Mo Ga Ru had mentioned—

"My forces have already moved to Eternal Night City and taken over the Undead forces."

It seems they were waiting for my arrival.

So, the first thing—

"Relay my command, say that Long Wu of the Baxter Family has crawled up from Hell and is about to reach Eternal Night City."

"Let everyone know about this!"

"—And another thing, I don't want to see any other Baxters! Tell the other Baxters to scram!"

The voice on the other end paused for a moment before replying, "Yes, my lord."

Shen Ye ended the call, satisfied.

Now it was time to do another thing.

Shen Ye touched the ring, and took out the corpse of Rosalia, laying it on the ground.

Once everything was ready, he stood in the passageway of the Human Territory and asked:

"How goes the investigation?"

The corpse of Rosalia responded, "My lord, the people I organized entered Jin Enjia Gorge, moved the stone door from the place you mentioned, and explored downwards."

"We discovered a Hell world deep within the Abyss that we've never heard of before."

"All the people who went down died, except for one who came back alive."

"He says, that Hell is full of Divine Spirits!"

Full of Divine Spirits!

Shen Ye took a sharp breath in.

"Even the weakest Divine Spirit possesses the Strength of the Sixth Layer of the Magic Realm, and the strongest can reach the Eighth-Order Pinnacle," the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa interjected, "If they are all Divine Spirits, then there's no need for further investigation, because going there means certain death."

Shen Ye thought for a few moments, then said:

"Rosalia, there's something I'd like to ask your opinion on."

Please speak, my lord."

"Would you like to come back to life?" Shen Ye asked.

"To live... I... of course, I want to, who doesn't want to be alive, my lord." Rosalia was nearly incoherent.

Shen Ye touched the ring and released a large Skeleton.

"Alright, it's my turn to work." The large Skeleton formed a Spell Seal with its hands, directing it at Rosalia.

Undead Resurrection activated!

Meanwhile,

Hell.

Cannon Branding Castle.

Rosalia, with a vacant expression, walked step by step out of the room, standing on the outside watchtower.

Light.

A pure white light flew from the depths of the sky, silently falling upon her.

The light, like a white pillar or a bridge reaching heaven, formed a rare spectacle in Hell.
