Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

It was terrifying.

I didn't want to continue participating at all.

But what choice did I have?

In this "Indefinite Layer" of the universe, Death Planet was just a world that could be destroyed with a flick of someone else's hand.

It needed a force strong enough to protect it!

Besides,

if I wanted to keep up with Charlotte's pace, I couldn't just give up so easily.

"I still want to try."

Shen Ye silently communicated through telepathy.

The wind seemed to sigh and continued,

"Since you've decided, so be it."

"Trialist deep in the challenge, you came alone… what the hell, why do you have so many servants?"

"Is that not allowed?" Shen Ye asked.

"It is allowed, but you've practically brought an army; isn't that a bit much?" the wind said.

"Is that not allowed?" Shen Ye asked again.

"It is allowed, but with so many people, even if you pass the trial, it wouldn't be just your own effort." the wind stated.

"Is that not allowed?" Shen Ye asked again.

"It is allowed… fine, I've never seen anyone like you before."

The voice of the wind disappeared completely.

Following that,

everyone suddenly sensed something.

A master quickly walked up to James and said rapidly,

"Be careful, the palace has started to emit strong power fluctuations!"

James' expression brightened, and he flew into the air, shouting loudly,

"Defensive battle formation—activate!"

One by one, the Professionals stepped out, raised large shields, and blocked the front of the team.

"Advance! Advance! Advance!"

They erupted with roars that boosted morale.

Shen Ye quickly retreated to the back of the team.

—Just kidding! I'm only at the Sixth Layer of the Magic Realm, at the bottom of multiple universes, and haven't received any teachings from Immortal Country.

How long would I have to wait to pass the trial without relying on the strength of others?

He stood at the last row, closely observing the situation on the battlefield.

The entire battle formation maintained a neat configuration, slowly moving towards the gates of the White Bone Palace.

The next second,

something unimaginable happened.

The whole White Bone Palace emitted "chirp chirp crack crack" sounds incessantly, and it was unclear what was happening inside.

Everyone seemed baffled.

Only Shen Ye.

The more Shen Ye listened, the more familiar it sounded, and he suddenly remembered something.

"Be careful!"

He shouted loudly, "The palace is transforming!"

Transforming?

While everyone was still puzzled, they saw the palace suddenly leap up, transforming into a several hundred meters tall bone monster.

The monster raised its arms high, crossing them into a hammer, and slammed down fiercely towards the people on the ground!

So fast!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so much so that most people didn't even react.

Who could have predicted that a huge palace would turn into a monster?

Alright, even if you can transform into a monster—

Who would have thought you could unleash this kind of team-annihilating ultimate attack in an instant?

The fists had not yet struck, but a series of booms were already rising in the air.

The light on those fists was burning intensely, like the sun.

The tremendous pressure pinned everyone to the ground, unable to even twitch.

It was over. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

That thought surfaced in everyone's minds.

In that instant—

The world flashed away.

The monster was gone.

Immortal Country was also gone.

Everyone found themselves back in the Undead Empire, all lying on the Marquis Mansion's estate grounds.

"Are… are we still alive?"

"Yes, I didn't die."

"Why?"

"We escaped!"

People chattered indistinctly.

After a while.

The Professionals gradually came to their senses.

Immortal Country.

Yes, having Shen Ye with them, the first person recognized by Immortal Country, there was a certain probability Immortal Country would teleport everyone away—

In the instant just before their deaths!

People silently looked toward Shen Ye, their gazes gradually changing.

"It seems only when I'm present does this effect occur; my other companions have tried, but it didn't work."

Shen Ye said with a smile.

That was true.

It was also written on the stele.

"How did you know the palace would transform?" James asked.

"My Skeleton friends make exactly these kinds of sounds when they transform, chirp chirp crack crack and such—just find any Skeleton and you'll get the answer." Shen Ye replied.

That was the truth, verifiable by anyone.

James nodded, then asked,

"That... Brother Shen, after we prepare, could we ask you to join us on another trip?"

"Of course, just call me whenever you're ready." Shen Ye replied earnestly.

Everyone felt a weight lift from their shoulders.

With this "lucky star" present, it was like having a death exemption!

"Shall I assign some people to ensure your safety?" James asked.

"No need, I'm very safe on Death Planet." Shen Ye replied.

James thought about it and agreed.

The box had already been given to him, and later everything would be within his own surveillance.

"Alright then, you go and rest now, we'll contact you as soon as we have any news."

"Okay, I'll see you all later."

Shen Ye pulled out a Card, activating the teleportation.

As he left, people began chatting among themselves.

"This guy is not bad, no wonder he was chosen by Immortal Country."

"But his world has given up competing for Immortal Country, so he won't have any gains there, only able to help us."

"Yeah, it's his bad luck."

"...but we really do owe him our lives."

"Not really, it was Immortal Country that saved us."

"Would Immortal Country have intervened if he wasn't there?"

"That's true."

The murmuring voices gradually subsided.

...

Death Planet.

Yu Jing City.

Breath Soil High School.

Shen Ye quietly appeared in the plaza.

He had only taken a few steps when his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"I'm Shen Xiaoyun."

"How did you get my number? Wait, you bought a phone?" Shen Ye said, surprised.
