Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

The Undead Army launched a new round of charges!

Human Territory.

Inside the tent.

Many strong warriors of the Human Race immediately sensed something.

"Such powerful Undead Soul Fire!"

"It's a group of powerful enemies, they are breaking through our position!"

The Great Knights charged out.

A few breaths later.

"Follow me to support! There are too many of them!" Yudelia shouted.

Several grand wizards and scouts immediately followed her out of the tent.

Only a few personal guards and two strong priests stayed by the prince's side.

"How is the prince now?" asked a guard anxiously.

"Unfortunately..."

The bearded grand priest sighed.

He shook his head at the prince, as if conveying the answer silently.

The prince understood at once.

The flicker of hope that had just ignited in his eyes dimmed instantly, and he shook his head, saying,

"Forget it, everyone has done their best, maybe this is my fate."

"Is there really no way?" Shen Ye asked from the side.

The grand priest explained seriously, "If it were just curses, toxins, and technique injuries, we could save him. Unfortunately, the prince's body is too severely damaged and has lost too much flesh. The organs are also gone; we cannot conjure organs out of thin air."

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "Grand Priest Antoni won't be wrong, he is the strongest healer of our Human Race."

Shen Ye fell silent for a while.

Missing flesh?

Organs?

The healing power of this world is terrifyingly strong.

But it can't generate organs out of thin air.

However, in his memory, the treatment in the Main World wasn't as miraculous as this world, but the technological side had unique achievements in generating organs.

The technology of the Eternal Science and Technology Union had reached the point where it could stimulate the body to generate completely new organs.

This was common knowledge in the Main World.

——The Eternal Science and Technology Union often advertised this!

Actually...

The medicine from He Xi Temple was effective; it allowed the prince to hang on for a while, proving that the things from the Main World were the right track.

He had also obtained an item from there.

That was what he had prepared to save his own life.

However, that item was too alien in style, not something that the humans of this civilization would understand.

If he were to bring it out, he might be treated as a heretic and burned at the stake as a male witch.

That was a minor issue.

The real danger lay with the Undead Assassins.

If he were to save the prince, then he had to save him entirely, and in no way could he be found by them.

This involved his own gate power.

——Should he take the risk?

Shen Ye met the prince's gaze.

The prince's eyes became calm, as if he had already accepted his fate.

"Saint Peiqi, I know you have tried your best, but I want to say—"

"Don't mourn for me, every day countless human warriors die like this, I'm just one of them."

"Remember, if you can escape, go to the Imperial Military Academy, learn some real skills."

"The evil Undead want to implement the capitalists' set-up, which actually gives them an advantage, but our human bodies... definitely can't withstand 996 and 007, it's a crisis that could annihilate our race, you must..."

The prince took a breath and strained to continue:

"The future of the Human Race..."

"Hold on!" Shen Ye suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, since you're going to die anyway, let me try one last thing."

He had finally made a decision.

A comrade who hated capitalists.

A feudal prince concerned about the future of humanity due to 996 and 007!

He was worth saving at all costs!

The prince looked at him with surprise.

Shen Ye's expression was solemn as he slowly began to speak:

"This ace up my sleeve absolutely cannot be seen by others. If Your Highness is willing to try, please have everyone leave."

"Well, I'm about to die anyway," the prince decided quickly, "Everyone leave, let Peiqi have a try."

"Yes!" The priests and guards hesitated before slowly backing away.

"Go on, get downstairs. Do you want to watch me take my last breath?" the prince said with a sigh.

The people then hurriedly withdrew.

The tent was left with only Saint Peiqi and the prince.

"Begin," said the prince.

"Your Highness, this technique must be performed in your sleep," Shen Ye said.

"Oh... you see, there's a dagger by my bedside, especially for assassins, I usually use it to ensure my sleep."

Shen Ye indeed saw the dagger.

He drew the dagger and handed it to the prince.

The prince licked it and immediately fell into a coma.

Seizing the moment, Shen Ye simply brought out the life support equipment and dragged the prince into it.

——The good stuff from He Xi Temple.

He was stabbed through the chest by Shen Ye, and yet he was still pleading desperately to use this life-saving equipment.

Maybe it's useful?

Shen Ye pressed the power switch.

The entire device quickly filled with liquid, submerging the prince within.

Beep beep beep——

A mechanical voice sounded:

"Current status: Critical condition."

"Detected partial loss of internal organs."

"Undergoing treatment, estimated time required: 9 hours 56 minutes."

"Releasing anesthetic, patient will be in a deep sleep."

——The prince licked that dagger for nothing.

But under the double insurance, the prince couldn't know what happened.

And it already displayed the estimated treatment time——

This proved he could be saved!

Shen Ye was much relieved.

"Gate."

He uttered softly.

A door consequently appeared before him.

Shen Ye opened the door to take a look.

He saw that the fire rain near the stream had stopped and all around was silent and still.

——Actually, the exam site was quite dangerous too.

After the fire rain, there could be other ordeals.

And someone was still trying to assassinate him.

So let's do it this way.

Shen Ye pushed the life-maintenance device through the gate and followed it through, returning to the stream.

"Disperse."

The gate disappeared.

"Gate," Shen Ye whispered.

The gate reappeared.

Shen Ye continued to push the life-maintenance device, sending it through the gate.

—The gate led to a secret passage in the Undead Position.

Moreover, according to his observation, this passage had been abandoned!

If it weren't for the path he had forcibly pushed through, there would have been no contact with the battlefield, and he wouldn't have been discovered by the Undead Assassin!

He remembered that after he had pushed through a path, the place collapsed once again.

So—

Nobody knew about this place!

"Disperse."

Shen Ye entered the gate and muttered the command again.

The gate vanished accordingly.

In the silent and dark secret passage, only the life-maintenance device flickered softly.

Shen Ye stood by the wall, taking it as a break.

—Speaking of which, the situation in the Nightmare World was really complicated.

The Human Race would triumph one day, only to be counterattacked by the Undead a few days later. Back and forth they battled, but what would be the final outcome?

He shook his head.

At that moment, a dim light began to emerge all around.

Shen Ye was initially on alert but then he realized what was happening.

That's right!

He had completed a gate entry today; it was time for his evaluation.

—He had nearly forgotten about it after not entering a gate for two days.

The faint lights slowly converged into rows of small characters:

"Evaluation Entry received for this gate-opening session:"

"The Boy Who Survived Great Adversities."

"Blue Entry (Outstanding)."

"Description: Each time you escape from deadly danger, your Basic Attributes will increase by two points across the board (once per day limit)."

"Evaluation: You have saved the prince of the Human Empire! You have rescued the blood of the gods! This is a major event that changes the course of history! You, the Boy Who Survived Great Adversities (pretended), who escaped from Rhine County (false hope, the Boy Who Survived Great Adversities true), will have your name widely spread!"

"—Run towards the sunrise, Boy Who Survived Great Adversities, Peiqi!"

"You may retain this Evaluation Entry and upgrade it in the future, or you can devour it to acquire Basic Attribute Points."

"Additionally, you have gained 'Temporal Fluid,' and with the blue (Outstanding) Evaluation Entry acquired, 'gate' will gain a new power."

"Congratulations."

"You have gained the ancillary ability of 'gate':"

"Unique Gateway."

"From now on, any door in the world can be designated by you, endowed with, or have its link between two realms canceled—and this is the 'gate' power."

"Moreover, you can still create a gate out of thin air."

Hmm.

This "The Boy Who Survived Great Adversities" isn't quite what I expected.

It's that kind of "You actually didn't die?" usefulness, sort of a retrospectively applied benefit.

Damn!

I wanted a capability to address dangers, not to add Attribute Points after having survived them!

Not very useful?

Should I keep it or devour it?

Actually, if I'm to be serious, this entry is already quite powerful.

It's a Blue Entry.

It can also be upgraded.

The only dissatisfaction is that it doesn't help during combat, unlike Attribute Points, which are more direct.

...I'll keep it for now, maybe it will become even stronger after an upgrade.

Wait a second.

How does one upgrade an entry?

I still don't know about this.

Accompanying Shen Ye's question, two rows of light characters appeared:

"Entries can devour each other, or can be upgraded using equivalent Attribute Points."

"To upgrade the 'The Boy Who Survived Great Adversities' entry, you need twelve White Entries, or three Green Entries, or one Blue Entry, or 10 Attribute Points."

So that's how it is.

I do have 10 Attribute Points, but right now it's exam time, which I need for battle.

It will have to wait for later.

That "Unique Gateway," however, is somewhat interesting; I can try some new things in combat in the future.

Anyway, this gain is so-so, I guess.

Shen Ye felt somewhat uninterested.

Boom—

Suddenly, a violent shaking came from outside.

The entire secret passage trembled, and many places caved in, burying everything.

Fortunately, Shen Ye's position was closer to the inside top of the secret passage, so he and the life-maintenance device beside him were not buried.

Even so, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Absolute cannot be buried!

If that happened, I'd have to leave the secret passage.

Outside was the Undead Position!

Freg's subordinates might be searching for me.

This time, I'd have no excuse to get away.

—I'd die!

As Shen Ye thought this, he suddenly felt a warm current surge through his body, his limbs becoming stronger and his mind clearer.

Huh?

What's going on?

Rows of light characters quietly appeared in the void:

"You've luckily escaped the fate of being buried alive. Once buried, no matter how you struggle, you would immediately be noticed by the Undead on the position above, and you would die."

"You have escaped from mortal danger."

"Evaluation Entry: The Boy Who Survived Great Adversities is activated."

"Your Basic Attributes increase by two points across the board."

"Current attributes are:"

"Strength: 4.3+2=6.3;"

"Agility: 6.1+2=8.1;"

"Spirit: 4+2=6;"

"Comprehension: 4+2=6;"

"Resonance: 9+2=11; Legacy Resonance under the moon +20;"

"Available Attribute Points: 10."

My goodness!

Can it even work like that?

This Blue Entry is too incredible!

Shen Ye suddenly realized the true value of this Blue Entry.
