Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Many things.

Even though I've done them so perfectly, why are the results so disappointing?

Bursts of inspiration flashed through the mind of Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor.

In the countless memories of the past, those imperfect flaws, those avoidable mistakes, and even the things that made me regret every time I recall them—

At this moment.

Looking back at these matters, new ideas began to emerge in my mind.

With these new ideas, I complete confidence that I could achieve better outcomes for each and every one.

—Take a step back.

Just by retreating one step, a better result could be achieved!

She played the video again, watching herself on-screen.

It wasn't overtly strong.

It even looked a bit fragile.

However, that created a stark contrast.

Such a fragile woman, commanding all the heroes to bow and listen, changing the fate of the entire world.

That's more appealing than desperately showing off one's strength!

A series of thoughts passed through Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor's mind, bringing her great satisfaction and causing her to smile involuntarily.

"Sorry, I was wrong just now. Your suggestion was very good, let's go with your idea," she said to Shen Ye.

If anyone who knew Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor had seen this, they would doubt their own eyes.

Would such a person apologize to others?

Shen Ye, who did not know her well, just felt the absence of a killing intent from her and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Then we'll release it tomorrow," he said, putting the video away and silently calculating how much money would be needed to help Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor climb the video charts.

Wait!

This is to save the world!

The money for climbing the charts should be paid by Kunlun!

"Hey, Kunlun."

Shen Ye immediately made a phone call.

"What is it?" Kunlun asked.

"Arrange everything for Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor tomorrow, just like my previous operations, and while you're at it, settle my previous accounts—it wasn't supposed to be my expense," Shen Ye said.

"Agreed," Kunlun replied affirmatively without hesitation.

Soon after.

Shen Ye saw a series of deposit notifications popping up on his phone.

Money!

My little money has come back!

Shen Ye was overjoyed, and as he looked up to make eye contact with Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor, he couldn't help but laugh.

What doesn't need money?

Of course, having money makes me happy!

Plus, Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor's mood had eased down, signifying the world was safe for yet another day.

At least for the entirety of tomorrow, safety was assured!

Shen Ye was in a good mood, laughing joyfully.

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor naturally saw the money entering his account but subconsciously thought it was his reward for the strenuous video editing.

Happy over mortal riches?

Such a childish boy.

Yet, she too had gained some good inspiration from him.

And she was satisfied with the video.

With that thought, Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Ah hahaha!" she laughed with her hand covering her mouth.

The two made eye contact, both laughing heartily.

After the laughter.

It seemed as if the distance between them had somewhat closed.

But that, of course, was but an illusion as fleeting as a soap bubble.

After all, Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor was only concerned with enhancing her power, even if it meant cannibalism, and then continuing her search for Charlotte.

While Shen Ye just wanted to kill her.

"By the way, I have something to tell you," Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor spoke up.

"Please, go ahead," Shen Ye said.

"You all passed the trials of Immortal Country; you could have entered, but now, because the world remains neutral, you've lost this opportunity—"

"And all this is because of the suggestion I made."

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor scrutinized his expression and asked:

"Do you hate me?"

"Hate?" Shen Ye was somewhat surprised.

"It seems you don't," Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor saw through his emotions in an instant, "Why don't you hate me? After all, it was an opportunity from Immortal Country—coveted by so many."

Shen Ye scratched his head.

How to explain this?

"They're all so strong; how could I, as a student, compete with them? Life is more important than an opportunity," he said frankly.

Although there were other truths, like "I knew that the Heavenly Technique was no longer in Immortal Country," or "They all came to help me, I should be grateful," saying those things would be fatal.

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor heard him out, satisfied, and said:

"That's right, life is most important, but many people always forget that."

"—I think you're not bad. Why don't you call me 'Master,' and I will compensate you for the opportunity that was taken from you."

"I already have a teacher," Shen Ye quickly waved his hand, "you're so young, how could you be my master? Let me call you 'sister' instead."

Sister?

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor had never been addressed that way; she found it novel for a moment.

But...

Sister?

That's not quite right.

What qualified him to be her younger brother?

I am the Great Celestial Venerable, after all.

How dare a boy from a lower universe call me that?

"Brother," Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor let out these words, finding it amusing, "Alright, this title will be my compensation to you. There won't be anything else."

"Okay," Shen Ye said.

—This guy looked so proud, as though he really wanted her as a sister.

In reality, the main point was not wanting her to be his master.

Such a ruthless person who was chasing after Charlotte wanted to be his master?

Calling her "sister" was just a temporary measure.

His only thought was to preserve this world!

—And absolutely not contemplate ideas like "call her sister by day, have her calling at night."

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor was unaware of his thoughts and said:

"You did well today; I'll come again tomorrow."

Having said that, her figure flashed, and she soared into the sky, disappearing from sight.

Only Shen Ye was left standing there alone.

After a few moments.

Several figures flashed into appearance.

Xu Xingke immediately asked, "Kunlun already played back earlier what happened to us; Why didn't you accept her as your master?"
