Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 772 - 401 Confrontation_3

Chapter 772: Chapter 401: Confrontation!_3 Chapter 772: Chapter 401: Confrontation!_3 This had plugged his last vulnerability, ensuring that the other insects of the Heart of the Swarm wouldn’t discover his inability to revert back to his “Insect Body.”

Shen Ye was silently pondering when suddenly a call rang out within the Heart of the Swarm:

“Baxter, come with me.”

A beam of light shot from the vertical pupil on the back of his hand, quickly linking into glowing Runes that surrounded Shen Ye, gathering into a formation.

The Teleportation Array.

Activated!

Shen Ye was teleported away in an instant.

The world spun around.

Before he could react, his feet found solid ground.

——This was a building in the shape of an inverted pyramid, its size no smaller than that of the Death Planet, slowly rotating in the cosmic starry sky.

At that moment.

Shen Ye found himself standing on an open terrace with no obstructions whatsoever.

A humanoid Emperor species stood to the side, nodding slightly towards Shen Ye:

“The recent battle went smoothly. The mission was also completed, very perfectly.”

“Good day, boss, thank you for your care all this time,” Shen Ye immediately responded.

He noticed the other lightly floating in mid-air, feet not touching the ground, his entire appearance adorned with natural Gold Runes, exuding an aura of majesty.

——This was the strongest among the Emperor species, Omnigod!

Thump thump thump.

Three drum beats.

One by one, palm-sized square luminous bodies emerged from the void, encircling the entire terrace.

Shen Ye could hear a cacophony of sounds coming from those square luminous bodies, including scolding and thudding noises.

“Each luminous body is a Space-Time Window, and inside each one are the eligible voting figures of various Races,”

Omnigod transmitted a message.

“What should I do?” Shen Ye transmitted back.

“After I finish speaking, you just say you don’t want to get involved in the secret missions of the highest stratum of the Immortal Country, and you should be able to withdraw from the 99 layers of the Taoist Palace,” Omnigod said.

“I’ve got it.”

The drumbeats sounded a second time.

A sharp voice suddenly arose from one of the square luminous bodies:

“Baxter, you earned great merit in the recent emergency conscription mission, and you are eligible for corresponding rewards and honors. However, Omnigod has submitted a request to use the credit of your recent achievement to transfer you to his battle zone—”

“Do you agree?”

“I agree,” Shen Ye quickly interjected.

“Very well, since both parties are in agreement, let the transfer proceed—after all, the Strength of an Emperor species, when put to practical use, is certainly reliable.”

The sharp voice declared.

A wave of assenting voices rose from the surrounding square luminous bodies.

Suddenly.

An angry voice echoed across the entire terrace:

“I disagree!”

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

In a flash of the void.

The Tao Palace Venerable Sage appeared on the terrace.

His eyes filled with murderous intent, he glanced at Shen Ye, then loudly said to the surrounding luminous bodies:

“He agreed with me, my ritual preparations are reported and ready. He cannot go back on his word now!”

“Did you agree to him?” Omnigod inquired.

“No,” Shen Ye spread his hands, “I never said yes.”

The Venerable Sage sneered, “You think I have no records? I made holographic records.”

With that, he began to perform the necessary gestures for a Technique.

Following that.

A holographic scene materialized in front of everyone.

The image showed the Venerable Sage and Shen Ye appearing on the screen, in conversation.

——It was their previous exchange in the Flying Boat’s room!

“How about you sign this contract?”

The Venerable Sage asked.

“What sort of contract is it?” Shen Ye inquired.

“Every morning you need to eat a bowl of beef noodles, a bun, drink a bowl of yellow wine, and have a marinated chicken egg,” the Venerable Sage explained.

“Eating that many carbs in the morning is going to make you fat,” Shen Ye said, troubled.

“A full stomach gives you Strength to work at the docks. By the way, aren’t you looking for a companion? If you eat that much every day and gain muscles, it’s very attractive to human females,” the Venerable Sage suggested.

Shen Ye watched himself in the holographic scene, dumbfounded.

He looked towards the Venerable Sage.

The Venerable Sage was equally stunned.

——This was not the scene that had occurred!

How had it changed?

Shen Ye suddenly realized.

That obscure bit of intelligence, an extremely difficult to obtain element called by name—

Dark Gold Level “Tabloid Protagonist!”

“Any being who harbors malice towards you, the information they receive and pass on relating to you will suffer all sorts of distortions.”

Thus, the information the Venerable Sage transmitted was distorted!

——It actually had this kind of effect!

“This isn’t right!” the Venerable Sage cried out, “He promised me—”

The gods interrupted him, “Alright, I’ve decided, Baxter can have noodles every morning from now on—do not interfere with our warzone allocation again.”

“No way!” Saintly Honor decisively said.

“Whether you agree or not doesn’t matter, the vote is now up to the leaders of the Multi-Universe Federation,” said the gods.

All of the square luminous bodies emitted a crisp sound.

Once again, the sharp voice rang out:

“Unanimously passed!”

“By the way—”

“Code-named ‘Saintly Honor,’ Lord of Secrets, I hope you will focus more on excavating the secrets of the Immortal Country than on what your subordinates eat.”

“Alright, that’s it for today.”

As the voice faded,

All of the square luminous bodies rapidly disappeared.

It was over.

On the terrace, only Shen Ye, the gods, and Saintly Honor remained.

Shen Ye thought for a moment before stepping forward and sincerely said:

“I was naive before, roaming around the universe, accidentally stumbling into the Taoist Palace, just looking for a human companion for fun.”

“But now I feel the Taoist Palace is not for me.”

“Please, let me go, sir.”

Saintly Honor was silent for a moment.

Certainly, you wanted to sign a master-servant contract without the other party knowing, there was nothing to discuss.

But now that they know everything,

Are you still going to trap them?

Saintly Honor adjusted his expression, smiling said, “You don’t think highly of the secret task of the Three Arts of the Immortal Kingdom?”

“Everyone has advised me that the Taoist Palace hasn’t progressed for thousands of years, hasn’t it?” said Shen Ye.

Saintly Honor looked at him.

“Did I ever wrong the Taoist Palace during my time there?” asked Shen Ye again.

A hint of embarrassment finally appeared on Saintly Honor’s face.

—He’d been offered mountains of gold and silver, making it clear from the start that he was just there for fun seeking a companion.

Yet, he wanted to seize him to sign an eternal master-servant contract.

It was inconsiderate.

“Let’s part on good terms, Saintly Honor, and let’s not do anything unnecessary,” said the gods coldly.

What they meant was, “Be reasonable.”

Of course, Saintly Honor understood.

“I just so happen to have some intelligence, if he joined, we could pull off a big one,” he took two steps back, “But since you’ve decided, let’s forget it.”

The void split open on both sides.

In a flash, Saintly Honor disappeared from the terrace.

“Be careful of him—he’s the type to hold grudges, not only lacking in talent but also prone to envy the capable,” the gods warned.

“I understand,” Shen Ye said.

“You’re still young, I won’t assign you any tough missions, you’ll be temporarily in charge of item identification, how does that sound?” the gods asked.

“No problem… I’ll take him down sooner or later,” Shen Ye said.

“Hmm—Hmm?” the gods suddenly looked up at Shen Ye intently.

“Saintly Honor suffered a loss today in such an important situation; he’ll definitely try to take me out silently afterward.”

“Only that way can he regain face.”

Shen Ye calmly continued:

“It’s the same for me—”

“A piece of trash that wants to enslave me has crossed the line, I’ll use his blood to tell all races—”

“Don’t provoke me unless you’re looking for death.”

The gods kept silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into wild laughter.

“Hahaha, that’s right! Just like that!”

“Baxter, you’re so young yet so clear-headed—”

“Worthy of being the new bug in our Heart of the Swarm!”

The gods roared fiercely:

“I will provide you with all conveniences, go ahead and do it to your heart’s content.”

“—Only the death of our enemies can showcase the will of our Universe Emperor race!”

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

Indeed, that was the case.

Moreover, he had deeper considerations for saying so.

Saintly Honor was responsible for uncovering the secrets of the Three Arts.

—He had to die.

For his future actions against him, he must have a justifiable reason that could stand scrutiny.

Now the gods understood his intent and explicitly supported him.

So,

In the confrontation of the Three Arts, no matter how he targeted Saintly Honor, other cosmic races would not see it as “someone challenging the entire cosmic life form” who must be promptly eliminated!

They would think it’s—

“Look, the king species is clashing with Saintly Honor!”

—Other races would hardly intervene; they would just enjoy the show!

This was precisely the situation he wanted!
