Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

On the other side.

Shen Ye found a place and called Xu Xingke.

The call connected.

Xu Xingke's voice immediately came through the receiver:

"Shen Ye, even teachers are just normal people, I can't always catch up instantly, you'd better get things sorted out quickly."

Shen Ye silently calculated in his heart—

Mo Ga Ru had already released one "death prophecy poem," there were still two days until the next one.

At least I don't need the teacher to step in for the next two days!

"Don't worry, teacher, there won't be a next time," Shen Ye guaranteed.

"That's good, by the way, what's the situation with the Eightfold Spirits?" Xu Xingke asked.

"A friend's mother is willing to lend us a hand, don't worry, she has already taken the initiative to sign a contract with me," Shen Ye said.

"Alright, there are some things you need to handle well on your own. I'm setting off now, we'll talk later," Xu Xingke said.

"Okay, teacher."

The call was ended.

A few minutes later, in the "Five Desires" world.

The Swordswoman looked in surprise at Xu Xingke, who had just appeared.

"Didn't you go back to rest?"

"There's something a bit troublesome, better to hide away for now," Xu Xingke said.

"You don't owe anybody money, who are you hiding from?" the Swordswoman joked.

Xu Xingke sighed and said, "There are some scenes that still intimidate even someone who has been in the Jianghu all their life."

At the Panda's office.

"You didn't stay long last time, was there something you didn't manage to deal with?" Tie Nan asked.

"A sudden incident," Shen Ye explained.

"Then I won't charge you this time, since you stayed for less than five minutes previously," Tie Nan said.

"Buddy, you're the best!" Shen Ye gave a thumbs up.

The door opened again.

Shen Ye entered, closed the door behind him, and took out the rectangular iron box.

"I'm still alive."

He said to the iron box.

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from inside the box:

"You weren't discovered by Mo Ga Ru?"

"Yes," Shen Ye said, "I now have two days!"

Mo Ga Ru's "name" activates once every three days, with each prophecy threatening an entire day.

Now there are two days left!

"Alright, now you can save me." The voice suddenly changed, turning into that of a woman.

At the same moment.

The voice of the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa also rang out:

"It was you!" Experience new tales on empire

"Who?" Shen Ye asked.

"Earth Mother—she's right here, trapped in this sealed artifact!" Miket Tikaxiwa exclaimed excitedly.

Shen Ye's heart was struck with shock.

No wonder Mo Ga Ru and the Nine Aspects, even with all their power searching the Nightmare World, couldn't find the Earth Mother.

The Earth Mother had already been captured by Tian Luo!

Tian Luo was dead, and the Earth Mother was sealed by him, so she would not appear in the world.

——That's the answer!

Miket Tikaxiwa emerged from the Dharma Aspect, waving his hand to release a pale flame that scorched the rectangular iron box.

The voice inside the box spoke up once more:

"It won't work, your flames can't break this seal and will only hurt me instead."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The flames immediately ceased.

"Then what should we do?" Miket Tikaxiwa asked.

"It requires the power of three gods to break this seal——go find the next Divine Spirit." the Earth Mother said.

"One from me, one from you, and we're one short." Miket Tikaxiwa said.

"I can feel that the scion of the Human Kingdom is quickly growing stronger, you should go find him." the Earth Mother said.

"Alright, we will find him right away, but I have a question for you." Shen Ye said.

"What is it?" the Earth Mother asked.

"That voice——there once was a voice that helped you, what exactly is it?" Shen Ye asked.

"It is the Jade Terrace, also known as the Artifact Spirit of the Nightmare Weapon." the Earth Mother said.

"Is there a way to reactivate it? Or to find it before it falls into enemy hands?" Shen Ye asked.

"In fact, it's in the hands of Nine Aspects." the Earth Mother said.

"What!" Shen Ye was shocked.

"But Nine Aspects doesn't know this." the Earth Mother added.

"What's going on?" Shen Ye quickly asked.

The Earth Mother sighed and continued:

"To hide it, I sealed it within a ring and gifted it to my emissary, a prominent figure of the centaur tribe, Karula."

"I know this centaur," Shen Ye said quickly, "then what? Did Nine Aspects steal the ring?"

"No——he just captured Karula, trying to force the information about my whereabouts through her."

"Little did he know that the Jade Terrace is inside Karula's ring!"

A moment of silence.

Shen Ye felt an inexplicable tension rising.

The voice that had guided him was hidden inside Karula's ring.

What to do now?

"If someone suddenly approaches Karula... Nine Aspects will definitely be on alert, putting Karula in even greater danger."

"Exactly." the Earth Mother said.

"But if we don't save Karula, she might be devoured by Nine Aspects." Shen Ye added.

"That won't happen." the Earth Mother responded.

"Temporarily won't happen?" Shen Ye asked oddly.

"Karula possesses a great Talent of the Earth, able to calm everything around her. Nine Aspects' 'Snake Woman' personality likes to be with her and won't allow the other personalities to consume her." the Earth Mother explained.

Another moment of silence.

"Your Excellency Earth Mother... you just mentioned... Nine Aspects' 'Snake Woman' personality?" Shen Ye confirmed.

"Yes, didn't you know? Nine Aspects has too many heads, it completely overwhelmed him, resulting in three personalities: 'Brutal Glutton', 'Cunning Traitor', and 'Snake Woman'." the Earth Mother said.

Shen Ye covered his chest and took a deep breath of relief.

That was close!

Thank goodness he had chosen the "No Life Master" as his profession instead of "Life Soul Master".

Otherwise, Nine Aspects' fate would have been his future!

So, what now?

"Do you know where Karula is?" Shen Ye asked.
