Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

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

"I made a deal with Charlotte—"

"I was to steal a large amount of treasures from the Taoist Palace and give them to her, and in return, she would release her unique Power of the Law Manifestation: Ten Thousand Lives as One."

"She transformed me into countless selves, casting me into the endless universe to experience and accumulate prestige among the Myriad Realms."

"But sister, you've accumulated prestige a bit too quickly, I've heard people from countless worlds admire you," Shen Ye remarked.

Yun Ni smiled without uttering a word.

Shen Ye had more to say, but a spark of Aurora flashed through his mind.

—The Heavenly Technique!

Yes.

If he used the Heavenly Technique, he could cast Yun Ni's avatars into dreamscapes!

"A long, long time ago..."

Dreamscapes were born, and the avatars departed.

Then by transforming the dreamscapes into reality, her avatars existed within history!

An incredible method!

A brilliant idea!

But Yun Ni didn't mention it.

So Shen Ye closed his mouth and didn't press further.

This matter was too significant; speaking of it would bring great trouble!

"So, you're actually in cahoots with Charlotte?"

Shen Ye changed the topic.

Yun Ni shook her head, saying, "It's merely a matter of mutual need."

"When I was chasing her, she was truly fleeing, and I was earnestly pursuing."

"—We both wished to silence each other, to ensure not a whisper of the matter would leak."

Shen Ye listened in silence, meeting Yun Ni's gaze.

"Why tell me all this?" he asked.

"Because you must know my true situation," Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor said.

"?" Shen Ye's expression was questioning.

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor continued softly:

"My Heart Demon has arisen, and if I can't make a breakthrough, I will turn into a demon."

"In the Ninety-Nine Heavens, someone will surely come to harm me during my Tribulation, certain that I won't succeed in making a breakthrough."

"Staying in your universe is my element of surprise. By refining the Heart Demon now, while undiscovered, I hold a slim hope."

"I see, now I understand," Shen Ye nodded, appearing to grasp the situation.

—But sister, haven't we only known each other for a few days?

Telling me all this—if it's simply based on pure trust...

Do you even believe that yourself?

Fortunately, Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor spoke again:

"Brother Shen, tell me, what is the wish of your life?"

Shen Ye met her gaze.

Wishes...

What are my wishes? What do they have to do with you?

Wait, are you suggesting—

"I have many wishes, as for which one is the most important, I haven't decided yet."

Shen Ye said with a smile.

Yun Ni nodded slightly, murmuring:

"I have a Technique from the Myriad Aspects Mirror Blossoming Saintly Fruit of Immortal Ascension, skilled in disguising identities, but it can only be used once."

"Once I use this Technique, I will temporarily become a mortal."

"Brother Shen, you must protect me."

"After the deed is done, I will fulfill three of your heart's desires, how about that?"

As she spoke, a contract quietly emerged before them.

Rows of tiny characters clearly revealed the entire contents of the contract.

What more was there to say?

Having heard so many secrets, if you still wanted to refuse, she would fight to the death to silence you!

Besides,

If she successfully makes the breakthrough and ascends to the level of a Saintly Honor—

She would do three things for herself!

Shen Ye quickly thought of three things then and there:

No longer provoke Charlotte, protect the Death Planet, assist himself with that Immortal Country trial.

That was the plan for now.

If more needs arose later, they could change.

This was essentially a rather risky investment.

But since it's an investment—

Shen Ye nodded seriously, saying in a deep voice:

"I will do my utmost to protect you, in hopes you achieve your breakthrough soon."

"Good! I knew I hadn't misjudged the person!"

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor was visibly elated and immediately pricked her finger, pressing a drop of blood onto the contract.

Shen Ye did as she did.

Two drops of blood landed on the bottom right corner of the contract, intertwining, revealing dark and deep hues, inseparable evermore.

The contract was sealed!
