Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Contract Content: Tu Fusheng is willing to serve under you, faithfully serving you, requiring only the compensation you deem reasonable." "Contract Restrictions: Neither party shall betray the employment relationship, otherwise, by one's true name, one's physique and spirit will be destroyed, never to reincarnate." "PS: "Having been sealed for too long, I am overly eager for freedom which led to my rash action against you. This was my fault, and I hope you spare my life, and in return, I will serve you under this contract." "Sign your name on the next line to validate this contract." "Signatory: ( )" Sign it? Shen Ye looked up. The old man's reaction was indeed swift to the extreme. Had he delayed even a moment longer, he wouldn't have had the time to propose this contract before being immobilized by Shen Ye. His fate would have been death by the giant lizard. In this deadly predicament, he found the one way to survive— —surrender. He took the initiative to offer his service. This was his only chance to stay alive! As for whether or not to sign this contract— Firstly, he genuinely needed a practitioner surpassing the Nine Layers of the Law Realm as an assistant. Secondly, this guy comes from multiple universes and must know much that he doesn't. The information could be valuable! The three summoned Ghost Deities responded to his will instantly. A moment before the giant lizard struck the old man— The Wood Dragon charged forward, clashing head-on. The Fire Dragon spat out fierce flames, and the Priest also released Technique attacks. The giant lizard was blocked, unable to advance even slightly. The old man's life was saved. Of course. This was only temporary, further actions would depend on his performances. Shen Ye signed his name. The contract then displayed Runes etched in gold light, forming two pointers, each pointing to the two names. The pointers and the names continued to emit light for a few moments before slowly fading away. The contract was established! With a gesture from Shen Ye, the old man landed before him, regaining his freedom of movement. "Ashamed, ashamed. I will certainly serve you with all my potential, thank you for sparing my life," the old man named Tu Fusheng hurriedly bowed. "Get to work," Shen Ye motioned towards the rampaging giant lizard with his chin. "Yes." Tu Fusheng's attitude was incredibly eager, and he leaped back into the fray. —This guy could be humble and obsequious, disregard his pride, all in a desperate desire to survive! A formidable character! Shen Ye was silently thinking when suddenly his heart tightened. What's happening? Why do I have a premonition of death? "Could it be—" He looked into the void and indeed saw a flicker of light: "The contract with Yun Ni has been triggered." "Please handle cautiously, otherwise according to the contract, when she dies, the soul punishment Curse will activate." "You and those by your side will all die." What in the world! Isn't she just working overtime at the company? Is it an enemy? Or a Heart Demon? Shen Ye could no longer focus even on the battle within his Dharma Aspect, he grabbed the Death Camouflage Cape, and with a flash, he flew out the window. ... Late at night. Yun Ni was still working overtime. Her hands tapped quickly on the keyboard, skilled and efficient like playing a piano. "Um…" Yun Ni slightly furrowed her brows, her fingers pausing momentarily. An abrupt thought entered her mind: "It's a pity for the beings of this world, they could have become better spirits had they practiced Taoist Magic." Yun Ni frowned. She was seriously working, so why did she suddenly drift off? She continued typing. But the thoughts would not stop: "The spirituality of the beings is too low." "Whether reaping souls or receiving admiration and reverence, their value is not enough." The tapping on the keyboard grew more rapid. No good. She couldn't control her thoughts about this. And yet, these were subconscious thoughts. The thoughts continued: "Destroying this planet… that would be pointless." "After all, masters from multiple universes come here, using this world as a stepping stone into the Nightmare World, seeking the elusive Heavenly Technique." The typing suddenly stopped. Yun Ni closed her eyes, falling deep into thought. —Since she was thinking, she might as well sort it out clearly. "The world will of this planet is already dead." "There won't be any resisting forces." "Remodel it." "Everyone who comes to this world shouldn't leave." "Keep them all here to contribute strength to my Dharma Aspect, becoming slaves of the Dharma Aspect…" "That's more like it." Yun Ni's body emitted bursts of black shadows. —The Heart Demon had entered her! The Heart Demon finally understood her deepest desire, and with it, breached her inner defenses. Yun Ni stood up, walked to the window, and looked out over the dimly lit night. Her hands came together, forming a Hand Seal. "Dharma Manifestation…" She murmured softly. In the sky, chaotic visions emerged amidst endless wails and struggles before thunderously descending. Yun Ni quietly watched this scene, her eyes suddenly reflecting clarity. She immediately ceased her Mana and dispersed the Hand Seal. The Dharma Aspect instantly dissolved into nothing. Just as it was about to descend to the world, it returned to the Dharma Realm. Yun Ni couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. That was close! She had advised this world to remain neutral and even protected it, but ended up nearly making a grave mistake— With many Descenders here, the secrets would not hold. Her reputation could be completely ruined! Damn, how could she almost forget these things and act so recklessly? Yun Ni's heart chilled. No. This wasn't her, it was the Heart Demon…
