Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

The dark and spacious underground corridor.

Each door was tightly closed.

Only one door was open, and Shen Ye stood in front of it.

A man dressed in a black robe stood in the middle of the corridor, looking at him with a mix of surprise and suspicion.

Mo Ga Ru!

"Are you—the subordinate of Lord Nine Phases, Long Wu? Or some other Baxter?" Mo Ga Ru asked.

"My lord, I am Long Wu, we meet again," Shen Ye said.

"How did you get here?"

"I am exploring the Death Planet for Lord Nine Phases, my lord. Didn't we meet at the Underground Lake last time?"

—At this time, Shen Ye was still in human form.

Last time at the Underground Lake, he had also met Mo Ga Ru in human form.

"Weren't you the king of the Nightmare World?"

"There was a major incident in the Nightmare World; many people were killed by the red light from the skies. I drank the Catastrophe Source Liquid right there and ran to the Death Planet for refuge."

"Long Wu Baxter... Did you open the resting room of the Tomb Soldier?"

"Yes, my lord."

Mo Ga Ru took a few steps back, his gaze deepening as he said in a low voice:

"No, how could you possibly be so capable? Even I had to expend quite a bit of effort to enter this place."

"—Long Wu, stay right there and don't move!"

He quickly summoned a technique with his hand.

Before Shen Ye could react, he was immobilized on the spot.

He couldn't move at all.

"My lord, what is this for?"

He asked calmly, not at all disconcerted.

Mo Ga Ru took out a bottle of Catastrophe Source Liquid, drank it in one gulp, and stared at him:

"I will soon find out your true identity—whether you are truly a member of the Baxter Family or not."

"If you really are a talented servant, I wouldn't mind having an extra hand in the Great Tomb."

"But if you are an imposter—"

"I will uncover all your secrets, then slaughter you!"

With one step, he vanished into the void.

"Quick! He's going to check out your background, think of something!" the Skeleton hurriedly urged.

"What's the rush... How exactly can he check my background? I can't quite figure it out." Shen Ye pondered.

The Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa suddenly interjected:

"Ever since I found out your identity in Eternal Night City is a Baxter, I chased the real Baxters in Hell to Purgatory."

"So he can't check?" the Skeleton asked with delight.

"No, I now understand how he plans to investigate," Shen Ye said.

Suddenly, a mirror appeared in front of him.

Lifeless Lord·Mirror Contains Me!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Once the technique was formed, he immediately transferred his immobilized body into the mirror and replaced it with a body not controlled by the technique.

Shen Ye quickly put on the Death Camouflage Cloak and transformed into the appearance of a vampire.

"Now I can only take a gamble."

He placed his hand on the door of the Tomb Soldier resting room and stepped through.

...

Undead Empire.

In an instant.

Shen Ye burst out of the secret passage, soared into the sky, and quickly arrived in an undead city within the Nightmare World.

He expertly teleported to Eternal Night City.

—The legendary leader, Baxter, was back!

Shen Ye headed straight back to his living quarters.

The room was clearly cleaned every day.

On the table, there were snacks and beverages.

With nothing better to do, Shen Ye simply opened the packaging and began to eat and drink.

He had only been sitting on the sofa for a few minutes when he heard a knocking sound at the window.

He turned his head to look.

It was Lily, a dancer from the Dark Night Rose Dance Troupe.

"Hi, Care to sit?"

Shen Ye greeted her and walked over to push the window open.

"Not now, Madame Daisy has some important guests, you need to come with me quickly!" Your next journey awaits at empire

"Ah—but I haven't even put on my makeup or changed my clothes—"

"You're not the one receiving guests!"

Lily dragged him along, jumping from rooftop to rooftop between buildings, and soon they arrived at the opera house.

Inside the opera house.

When Shen Ye arrived backstage with Lily, Madame Daisy was controlling a spherical flash of lightning on the stage, surrounded by a group of men and women.

"Don't panic, keep it together!"

Madame Daisy shouted loudly.

However, the spherical lightning emanated an aura of destruction, inducing a natural fear in many of the dancers and divas.

—After all, such a thing was quite restraining against the Undead.

"Deal with that thunderball or our dance troupe's reputation is ruined!"

Lily whispered.

Shen Ye looked at the thunderball, then glanced over at the audience.

That familiar face was sitting below the stage, accompanied by the Count himself.

Shen Ye wasn't sure what identity he held within the Undead Empire.

—But at least it was within his expectations!

Mo Ga Ru, oh Mo Ga Ru.

You specifically investigated the Baxter Family to find the whereabouts of the "first child," trying to make me prove that I am not myself, aren't you?

"Baxter, why are you laughing?" Lily asked quietly.

"I laugh not at others, but at Zhou Yu's lack of strategy and Zhuge Liang's dearth of wisdom," Shen Ye replied quietly.

"???" Lily.

"Never mind, just a joke—I'll give it a try!"

"Good luck."

Although the thunderball was frightening—

Shen Ye was familiar with it!

Being an expert in lightning himself, he saw that the dance troupe was about to falter and promptly leaped out from backstage, blowing a long, sharp whistle.

The piercing whistle drew everyone's attention.

Madame Daisy turned her head, saw it was him, and her face lit up with joy. She casually asked,

"Our chief diva, Baxter, would you like to give it a try?"

"Madame Daisy, please grant me this honor,"

Shen Ye bowed gracefully.

"All right, catch it carefully!"

Madame Daisy gritted her teeth and released the flash of lightning.

The spherical lightning floated over to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye reached out to catch it—

—Diva Skill, Brilliant Opening!

The spherical lightning instantly burst open, transforming into thousands of thunder light birds that circled and danced around the stage.

Even Shen Ye was taken aback.
