Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

On the screen.

Countless scenes of slaughter flashed by quickly.

"For over a decade... too many have died, and I thought it was the ruling strategy of the noble families, but it turns out she was feeding the Evil God?"

The white-haired elder spoke with some emotion.

Memory...

This matter must not be taken lightly.

"Compile statistics on all government departments, all large organizations, all individuals with real power; anyone who has had contact with Song Qingyun must be immediately subjected to formal inquiry to identify those with memory deviations."

"Top priority—"

"Execute!"

He made a gesture.

All the screens went dark simultaneously.

A massive operation began.

Standing in the darkness, the white-haired elder fell into deep contemplation.

At that moment.

Even an existence like him felt hesitant.

But no matter how he calculated, the outcome was clear, and there was one possibility.

The possibility of extinction.

"If it comes to the worst... we must prepare for the worst-case scenario..."

The white-haired elder began to issue orders:

"Activate the Eden Project."

"The refuge 500 meters underground is ready to activate."

"All frozen human embryos and plant seeds, enter pre-activation status, awaiting my further orders."

"Begin checking weapons."

"All electronic systems, remain on standby, begin reading the destruction plan, prepare for the cleanup!"

The white-haired elder paused, then added:

"Immediately report the situation to the World Government."

"Dispose of this body of mine and move me into a body capable of entering Zhongzhou City—"

"I want to see for myself how humanity deals with this incident."

"Prepare another body for me, directly transferred from the Overseas Archipelago—I need to meet that person!"

As he spoke, he pulled a small chip from his head and inserted it into the machine interface, emitting a "beep."

A soft electronic voice followed:

"Orders understood."

"All preparations are ready."

"Data upload complete, beginning to process the current body."

"New body is ready."

"About to be loaded into the body."

Thousands of miles away.

By the seaside.

A secret underground base.

Beep beep beep.

A perfect male body started to stir.

He opened his eyes, felt the freshly installed chip on his head, and sat up from the operating table.

"Prepare the supersonic Flying Shuttle, I need to meet with the Vice President of the Tower of Tarot, the Master of Penglai Sword Pavilion."

"Yes," a soft female voice replied.

...

In the darkness.

Waves of intense breathing sounds echoed from afar, rumbling like thunder.

Shen Ye saw countless small stones fall from the nearby mountain wall, making a chaotic noise.

All the remains of Divine Spirits hanging in the darkness began to tremble slightly.

As if their bodies were still frightened by something.

...What could it be?

Shen Ye slightly furrowed his brows and increased his flying speed.

He lightly leaped onto a cliff and looked toward the temple in the center of the open area.

Hongyin Temple!

Looking at the temple again, he felt something different.

For some reason.

Shen Ye felt as if the temple was also watching him.

It seemed to be alive, constantly adjusting its posture, and the breathing sounds that were like thunder came from the main gate of the temple.

With the breathing, the wind continuously brushed against Shen Ye's face, ebbing and flowing like ocean waves.

So powerful...

Shen Ye was just standing still, yet a continuous sense of powerlessness flooded over him.

"Song Yinchen!"

He shouted.

There was no response.

Was this a trap set by Song Qingyun? If she could sever his head with one strike, could she have also killed her sister?

Damn it.

He hoped nothing had really happened.

Just as Shen Ye was about to rush into the temple, he suddenly heard a voice by his ear:

"Shush, don't disturb her."

Shen Ye almost jumped, drawing the Nightfall in front of him as he exclaimed, "Who's there!"

In the darkness.

Nothing.

But a lazy voice sounded:

"I'm not a person, so you're asking the wrong question."

...They can communicate.

And it didn't seem malicious.

Shen Ye steadied his spirit and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want me not to disturb her?"

The voice replied:

"She's at the final step of her legacy trial, and I was afraid you might distract her, so I rushed to let you know."

"As for who I am—"

"Do you know about Artifact Spirits? The sentient spirit of a Divine Artifact, or to put it in terms humans understand, I am the soul of a Divine Artifact."

In the darkness, two red large eyes quietly appeared.

Shen Ye was stunned.

"You are... the spirit of a Divine Artifact?"

"Yeah, I've been with Song Yinchen for a long time; I've actually seen you before, but you didn't know."

The two eyes flitted around Shen Ye, seemingly sizing him up.

"Seen me before... do you mean that little girl? Right, the little girl is Song Yinchen!" Shen Ye pretended to be surprised.

"Smart guy! It saves time talking to someone like you—Right, thanks to you, Song Yinchen didn't die, hehe, the Song Family still has hope."

"What do you mean?" Shen Ye asked.

The two eyes settled in mid-air and said:

"The Song Family's descendants are dwindling, last generation only one person; this generation only two girls, one with too much malice, leaving only Yinchen."

"Once she gives up her legacy from the Song Family, I will help her to reincarnate, thus breaking the covenant with the Song Family."

"Hahaha, once the covenant is broken, I will immediately burst open this entire world and frolic in the endless void of the Myriad Realms!"

"—But you persuaded her not to die."

"So she kept on enduring, tortured by her sister."

"So I haven't left yet."

"And this world still exists normally."

Shen Ye stood in place, his heart pounding more fiercely and fear escalating as he listened.

Could such a thing be true?

This World Suppressing Divine Artifact of the Song Family could "rupture the entire world"?

Song Qingyun is a madman!

In such a situation, she actually still thought about killing her sister!

Ridiculous Song Family!

The successor recognized by the Artifact Spirit, yet they do not treasure them carefully!

Do they really think the Divine Artifact is foolish?

"How could you rupture this world, mighty one?" Shen Ye cautiously inquired.

"Hee hee hee hee hee, you little boy want to know this?" A playful sound came from the two eyeballs.

"If it's a massive secret, then I wouldn't dare to ask, but with your identity, you wouldn't be afraid of anything, correct?" Shen Ye said with a smile.

"Forget it, I find you pleasing to the eye, so it doesn't hurt to tell you—but at this point in time, you still won't understand."

"Try me, I've actually encountered quite a number of strange things."

"It's a lull in the war, hahaha."

"...I don't understand."

"When a person dies, their corpse is at the disposal of others, do you understand this?"

"I understand that, but I don't know what you are referring to."

"Heh heh, it's unspeakable if we delve deeper, but I'll tell you the simplest thing—"

"This world has been mended many times."

"Back then, quite a few Divine Artifacts exerted effort to barely stitch it together."

"I am one of those Divine Artifacts."

"If you upset me, I'll rupture the world and then simply leave."

"...I understand," Shen Ye said.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering sound came from the Hongyin Temple.

"She has passed the trial!"

The two red eyeballs cried out and rushed toward the temple.

Shen Ye stood still, quietly waiting.

"Big Skeleton."

"Present."

"Did you understand what was said just now?"

"...No."

"You are a demigod, and you still didn't understand?"

"Truly unclear, and listening to it speak, I feel a natural fear in my heart."

"Forget it, might as well ask your mother in Hell later."

However..." Big Skeleton hesitated, "this Divine Artifact seems outrageously powerful."

"Nonsense!"

As they were speaking, suddenly they saw a figure flying out of the temple.

—Song Yinchen!

She stood on a rope emitting a red glow, slowly flying to face Shen Ye.

At that moment, Shen Ye saw that the question marks above her head had all disappeared, and in their place, a brand-new term emerged:

"Chaos Spirit Light bearer."

"Description: Unknown."

This meant that when he had seen the seven "?" above her head long ago, it was because the Artifact Spirit had already acknowledged her, only that she hadn't passed the trial yet.

"Brother Shen Ye, come on up, I'll take you out of here."

Song Yinchen beckoned to him.

Along with her words, a force lifted Shen Ye, pushing him up to stand steadily on the rope.

"Wow, I didn't know my balance was so good,"

Shen Ye said, looking down at the rope.

...The red light around the rope took the shape of a swimming fish.

It was about a five-meter-long fish.

So the surface he was actually standing on was quite broad, with no likelihood of falling at all.

At that time, Song Yinchen gave Shen Ye a glance, as if she remembered something.

She quietly took a rope and hung her phone around her neck.

It started!

Once both of them were steady, the fish swam forward.

Passing through layers of cliffs, it sped upwards, suddenly diving into the earth.

Wait a minute.

Shen Ye looked around.

No, not diving into the earth, but rather, as it passed, the earth parted on either side, making way for it to pass.

"Hee hee hee, your sister is about to summon the Nine Evil Gods soon, another catastrophe for all living beings,"

the big fish said gleefully as it swam along.

Song Yinchen's expression dimmed as she spoke softly:

"She was driven mad... Is there any way to save the people below?"

"Her soul has been sold to the Nine Evil Gods. Among the legacies I gave you, there's only one technique that can let her die gracefully, without her soul being torn and devoured."

"Is there no other way?"

"No more."

As they talked, the surrounding earth vanished into nothingness.

It turned out they had completely traversed the ground—

The fish, glowing red all over, sprang into the sky, rising high, heading towards the Floating Island.

"Make your decision quickly, you only have one chance before the Evil Gods descend."

The fish's voice was like a screeching wind.

Song Yinchen's eyes filled with tears as she sobbed lightly, looking towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye took out a handkerchief to help her wipe the tears from her face, his voice gentle and slow, yet incredibly firm:

"She has killed too many people, please empathize with the innocent people, not her."

Suddenly, the big fish disappeared.

Two red orbs floated in mid-air.

The red rope rapidly changed shape, sketching out the form of a flying bird in the void.

Streamers of blazing light radiated from the rope, igniting the form of the bird, materializing into a Phoenix soaring in the firmament.

From the ground and the Floating Island, numerous cries of amazement rose.

The Fire Phoenix paid no heed to them, roaming freely in the sky, scattering specks of fiery light.

Nightfall receded, and the world, as if day had returned, brightened.

"Yinchen, your decision is—"

The Fire Phoenix spoke in human tongue.

Song Yinchen gritted her teeth and formed a Technique Seal with both hands.

In the void,

a long rumbling sound suddenly appeared, moving away at an incredibly fast speed.

Boom—

The palaces and pavilions on the Floating Island were directly shattered.

A figure was sent flying out.

It was Song Qingyun!

She held the Nine-Eyed Red Knife, blocking that invisible force.

This was the moment!

Song Yinchen pressed her hands onto the Fire Phoenix and forcefully pulled out a Blazing Long Whip.

"Sister!"
