Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

```

"The rules have changed."

"You must upgrade an entry to its highest degree before you can acquire a new entry."

"——Current entry rules have become more rigorous and reasonable."

Shen Ye slurped up his instant noodles in just a few bites, then washed up and went to bed.

——It had been an exhausting day, rest was necessary.

The Seal Gate wasn't easy to open; it required the consumption of his own Strength each time.

He needed to recover quickly!

He closed his eyes, and before long, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Time silently slipped away.

The next morning.

Dawn had broken.

Shen Ye opened his eyes and immediately checked his Attributes.

He had mostly recovered.

He yawned, and without getting up, he lay in bed and activated "Encounter at the Jade Terrace Under the Moon Skill System."

In an instant.

He entered the Immortal Country, sitting beneath that large Stele.

"Gate."

With a low shout.

A door quietly opened before Shen Ye.

"Grandpa, come on out."

Shen Ye called out politely.

A silence ensued from behind the door.

After several breaths.

An elderly voice sounded from within:

"Better to forget it, this old man just wants to live out his days inside the Seal... The world belongs to you young people now."

——It was the same old man he had encountered on his first opening of the Gate!

"Come out, will you, I need a bit of help," Shen Ye said.

"Today, I'm indisposed, unable to make the journey; please, forgive me," the elderly voice continued.

"Are you coming out or not!" Shen Ye demanded.

"Young man, I'm begging you, spare this old man's life, if I have to go back into that destructive torrent, I might just die in there!" pleaded the elderly voice.

"...That's not what I'm asking you to do," Shen Ye said somewhat exasperatedly.

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and with the Broad Cold Holy Relic created a layer of transparent ice crystal on the door.

In this way, the old man could feel at ease, and Shen Ye could be safe.

"I want to borrow your expertise to take a look at that White Bone Palace, see how exactly we should fight it," Shen Ye explained.

"You mean... you won't force me to come out?" the old man asked cautiously.

"Of course, do you see those shadows? Actually, this time opening the Gate, I've already moved away from them, you won't fall into the destruction of darkness," Shen Ye explained.

"Well then," the old man finally agreed and came to the door, looking out toward the looming mountains and the imposing White Bone Palace for a while.

"Eh? Such an ancient relic still exists in this world?" he murmured in surprise.

Shen Ye was overjoyed and quickly asked:

"You've seen it before?"

"Let me think... You younger folks probably haven't seen this kind of thing, it's tricky and not to be assessed by common sense," the old man said.

"If you can help, I can set up an air conditioner, install a TV for you, and get you a smartphone," Shen Ye bargained.

The old man immediately responded:

"What are those? No, I want food—just getting to eat human food is fine, it's been too long since I had a meal."

"No problem!" Shen Ye agreed.

"All right, I'll take a closer look for you," the old man said, pleased.

——This was someone who could emerge unscathed from the torrent of dark destruction!

Perhaps with his expertise, he could provide some insight.

Shen Ye waited silently.

After a good seven to eight minutes, the old man suddenly let out a laugh:

"Ha ha ha, this palace is designed in a very interesting way."

"Did you find something?" Shen Ye asked eagerly.

"The two 'Planet Crashers' at the palace's entrance are powerful; even I might not get the better of them in a fight, do you know why?" the old man said.

"Please, do tell."

"They might look like mere guardians, but in reality, they are powerful monsters that have absorbed the Strength attribute of all the creatures in the White Bone Palace. Each of their attacks can release the combined attributes of 'Strength' from all the monsters within the palace."

That sounded terrifying!

Lucky he had asked this expert to take a look!

Shen Ye folded his arms and continued to inquire, "So, how do we defeat them then?"

"Defeating them... There are only two methods."

"First, you possess Strength surpassing all creatures within the White Bone Palace, capable of annihilating them with one move."

Shen Ye quickly shook his head, "That's impossible, please give me the second option."

"The second one, well, you need a powerful entry—"

The elder continued gravely: "An entry of a higher caliber than the 'Planet Crashers,' one that can control them, preventing them from attacking—that's your only chance at defeating them."

A light dawned on Shen Ye!

That's it! Now those two Giants won't stand a chance, will they?

He immediately took out a notebook and began writing and sketching furiously.

"What are you doing?" the old man asked curiously.

"Writing a guide, selling for three gold each, quite a bargain! Oh, and I've got instant noodles, I'll share some with you later," Shen Ye responded without looking up.

The old man fell silent for a while, muttering to himself:

"...I thought he might be a savior or a hero, turns out he's just a profiteer..."
