Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

A sword light emerged.

Caught off guard, Song Yinchen could only barely pull out a whip from her Dharma Aspect to fend off the Nine-Eyed Evil Blade.

"Got you!"

Song Qingyun burst into laughter as multiple illusory shadows burst forth from the blade.

Boom—

Song Yinchen was sent flying.

"Sister, there are only the two of us left in this world, why must you do this to me?"

She retreated, filled with sorrow.

"It's you I'm going to kill!" Song Qingyun pursued her, swinging the long blade carelessly.

An infinite might erupted from the blade.

The surrounding spectators, unable to defend in time, were all cut down to the last.

Song Yinchen counterattacked occasionally, but she was consistently overpowered by Song Qingyun, forced to flee in all directions.

She seemed overwhelmed with sadness.

Never able to launch any effective attacks.

However, the blade in Song Qingyun's hand, along with the Power of the Evil God pervading her whole body, was nearly invincible.

In midair,

Clouds of blood mist exploded.

Shen Ye, watching from midair, suddenly sensed that something was amiss.

"Quick, hide, Song Qingyun is out to kill you."

A voice quietly rose.

It was the voice of the Chaos Spirit Light—

Shen Ye's mind suddenly lit up, and he quickly retreated backwards.

The door opened for an instant.

He stepped in, standing in the secret passage of the Nightmare World.

With his departure—

In the arena.

Song Yinchen's eyebrows slightly relaxed, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and charged towards a group of people.

"Ouyang Family Head, you and my family have long been friends, please help me!"

She cried out loud.

The Ouyang Family Head initially thought he had retreated far enough and did not expect the fighting sisters to come all the way to him, leaving him no place to even hide.

His mouth twitched as he shouted, "This is your Song Family's matter! Niece!"

However, the two sisters already collided into them.

Song Qingyun's body released a strange humming sound, and everyone suddenly became rooted to the spot, unable to move.

"Damn it!"

The Ouyang Family Head, having no choice, raised his hand to form a seal, readying himself for battle.

Elsewhere.

The Nightmare World.

The door shut.

All went silent again.

"What's going on, why are we hiding here?"

The great skeleton couldn't help but ask.

"I remembered something," Shen Ye said gravely.

"What?"

"According to the rules passed down through the ages by the Song Family, upon awakening their talent, every Song family member must be bound by a Divine Curse."

"That Divine Curse forbids siblings of the same generation in the Song Family from killing each other."

Shen Ye's voice travelled far in the quiet passage.

"Right," the great skeleton realized, "so they actually can't kill each other!"

Unable to kill each other.

Why then all the grand display of fighting?

"Song Qingyun's advantage is—"

Shen Ye continued, his voice deep: "Her sister's longevity lock is on me; if I die, her sister dies too."

"—She only needs to kill me!"

"What about Song Yinchen?" the great skeleton asked.

Shen Ye shook his head, "She can't bring herself to deal a killing blow to her sister... yet she's still fighting with her. I can't figure it out."

An abrupt voice sounded, "Not bad, you've almost got it, lad. Pretty sharp."

"Who's there!" Shen Ye was startled.

In the void, two red-glowing eyeballs appeared.

—Chaos Spirit Light!

The two eyeballs floated in midair, wandering around with interest:

"Another world? Your abilities are not bad, kid, worth me taking a special trip over."

"Your Excellency, why aren't you protecting Yinchen? Why follow me?" Shen Ye couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, I'm looking out for her. But I must discuss something with you," the Chaos Spirit Light spoke.

"Discuss what?"

"Correct! Actually, Song Yinchen could have left, not caring about anything, after all, she has me."

The Chaos Spirit Light continued:

"But she's determined to settle matters with her sister tonight."

"There are two tricky points:"

"First, as you said—siblings of the same generation in the Song Family cannot kill each other; and—when only one is left, they can receive the protection of the Divine Artifact—these are the secrets of the Song Family, not to be perceived by outsiders;"

"Second, too many envy from those around, all watching, waiting to see the Song Family fall, then swooping in to feast on the Song Family's carcass, Yinchen will never allow this to happen."

"So she was acting?" Shen Ye asked.

Truly—

It commands a fresh perspective.

Like this, everyone will think she's delicate and weak, not up to the task.

"The ones she avoided just now were from the Ouyang Family, which has always been at odds with the Song Family, the same ones who publicly said they wanted to take her as a junior wife last time."

The tone of the Chaos Spirit Light carried a hint of mockery:

"Those people were just killed by Song Qingyun."

Shen Ye said, "What about after that? After dealing with Song Qingyun's issue, if someone takes today's events and troubles her—"

"Pay money, ah, pay for a life with money—If they don't want money, then let them die. I'm not afraid of their Ouyang Family's garbage Divine Spirits," said the Chaos Spirit Light casually.

Shen Ye fell silent for a moment.

Sisters cannot kill each other!

The elder sister's act of trying to kill the younger sister is actually to look for an opportunity to eliminate her own self.

Once she dies, the elder sister wins.

The younger sister acts to find a chance to lift the crisis, to make the Song Family stand tall once again.

This situation is too complicated.

—Probably outsiders can't see it clearly at all!

"It's up to you now, kid."

The Chaos Spirit Light said.

"Me? What can I do?" Shen Ye pointed at himself and asked.

Two eyeballs flew up, landing behind him, their voice turning solemn:

"Underneath Zhongzhou City, thirty-six Divine Spirits' corpses have all been subjected to the Evil God Technique."

"You've killed one."

"There are still thirty-five left, whose combined strength has formed an 'Anomaly'."

"—Yes, Zhongzhou City is no longer in our world now."

"You must kill the thirty-five Divine Spirits' corpses and bring Zhongzhou City back—"

"As long as it returns to our world, there will be real powerhouses who will come to kill Song Qingyun, and everything will naturally be resolved!"

"Are you sure there will be people who'll help? It won't just be more onlookers waiting to reap the benefits, right?" Shen Ye asked.

—Indeed, those people had all stepped aside.

In the end, this was indeed the Song Family's internal strife.

With such an excuse, they stood by as onlookers, waiting for the outcome.

If Song Qingyun wins, everyone piles on, killing her and seizing the Divine Artifact.

If Song Yinchen wins—

All compensation and responsibilities will fall upon her!

Smart moves!

—The situation throughout Zhongzhou City was such!

"In our world, there are always some experts who have seen me before and know what kind of temperament I have," the Chaos Spirit Light continued:

"Anyone who dares to plot against Song Yinchen, I will make their whole family die."

Its tone carried an aura of mind-shaking brutality and intent to kill.

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

What those onlookers didn't know was—

The sisters couldn't kill each other; they were both urgently seeking opportunities to break the deadlock.

And that's not all.

Once Song Qingyun died—

The Song Family's Divine Curse could no longer bind Song Yinchen.

She would be without flaws.

With the Chaos Spirit Light in her hand, she would be capable of holding her ground among the Various Noble Families!

"Alright! I'm willing to help, but my strength is too weak, I can't defeat those Divine Spirits' corpses," Shen Ye said.

"Don't worry, I am here," said the Chaos Spirit Light.

Two eyeballs fell down, resting on Shen Ye's arm, merging into that longevity lock.

Immediately intricate and bizarre patterns emerged on the longevity lock.

"The longevity lock represents her recognition; through this lock, you can wield my strength."

"Now let's go!"

"Okay!" Shen Ye answered.

The door opened.

He stepped through and was instantly pulled away by an extremely strong force.

Teleportation!

Heaven and earth spun around.

In a flash, the surroundings returned to darkness.

This was the underground of Zhongzhou City.

Mist filled the area all around.

Giant Divine Spirits' corpses stood still, their bodies releasing astonishing fluctuations.

"Are they alive?" Shen Ye asked.

"No, they are both maintaining the 'Anomaly' and summoning something at the same time—we can't let them succeed," said the Chaos Spirit Light.

Shen Ye suddenly had a premonition, took out a card, and looked at it.

On his card, rows of small text appeared:

"You have joined the action of the World Suppressing Divine Artifact; please make sure to assist it in completing its current task."

"Freeing Zhongzhou City from the 'Anomaly' and returning it to our world will be considered the completion of your current task as a newcomer."

"You can choose any mentor at will."

"Begin!"
