Gatekeeper of all realms.

Chapter 290 Revenge from Ten Thousand Years Later!

Shen Ye sneaked along the empty stairs towards the southwest.

"Someone is coming." The Lord of the Underworld reminded.

"kindness."

He casually released a piece of ice, and when it reflected Shen Ye's appearance——

He directly activated the "Mirror Self" technique and hid in it.

The icicles melted into water droplets, dripping onto the red velvet carpet.

As expected, two knights appeared at the corner.

They were wearing shiny armor, with swords hanging from their waists, and walked past the stairs where Shen Ye was.

After they are gone.

Shen Ye dismissed "Myself in the Mirror" and appeared directly on the stairs.

move on.

For some reason...it feels a little weird.

If the Nine Phases were such a powerful monster—

"There are guards on the terrace ahead. There are so many guards here." The voice of the Lord of the Underworld sounded.

Shen Ye's thoughts kept flashing as he continued to move forward.

The terrace is coming.

The melodious flute sound suddenly became full of murderous intent.

"Kalula is reminding you not to get close - maybe Jiuxiang is right next to her." said Mother Earth.

Shen Ye stopped.

If Jiuxiang was with Kalula, then he would definitely not be able to save her.

Then wait until later?
Later...when will that be?
"Retreat, this is not a good time." The Lord of the Underworld also said.

"...The longer the time, the more variables there will be. I don't want to delay it any longer... I absolutely cannot let Jiuxiang obtain Yaotai."

Shen Ye responded in his heart.

He walked up the steps to the terrace.

The two guards turned around at the same time and saw him.

"Stop and don't move!"

"who are you!"

They both shouted at the same time.

"Please inform the Marquis that I'm here to see her. My name is Baxter." Shen Ye said.

A guard raised his spear, pointed at him, and shouted:
"You intruder—"

A voice sounded from far away, drowning out the guards:
"Never mind, he's an old acquaintance of mine - bring him to me."

It's a female voice!

Is she the Marquise?
The two guards immediately put away their weapons and looked at Shen Ye with complicated expressions.

"Please follow us."

"Thank you."

Shen Ye followed them through several rooms, along the long corridor, and all the way to the castle's bar.

There are only two people here.

The centaur Kalula has transformed into an elf and is playing the flute.

A woman with long platinum hair stood behind the bar, a glass of wine in her hand, enjoying the sound of the flute.

The two guards saluted and retreated.

"Baxter, what would you like to drink?" the woman asked.

"Juice, thank you. Are you the Marquise de Chatelet?" Shen Ye asked.

The woman laughed.

"There are several of us. The one you deal with on a daily basis is Fernando, who is responsible for replenishing your body's energy, and I am the one who is actually responsible for the fighting. My name is Chatelet."

As she explained, twisted snake bodies appeared on the floor, ceiling, and walls of the entire bar.

On the black snake scales, shadows of human heads appeared and then quickly disappeared.

All the heads of the Nine Phases condensed into this terrifying snake body!

"Sir, it's you!"

Shen Ye said in surprise.

Marquise Chatelet—or rather, the Nine Phases with a changed personality spoke:

"Baxter, that's enough of my introduction. Are you here to find clues about the Earth Mother for Magahu?"

Shen Ye shook his head and said, "Not really."

"Then I really don't know what reason you have to break into my territory at will." There was a hint of murderous intent in Chatele's expression.

"My Lord, what do you want me to say——"

Shen Ye lowered his head, then raised it again, looking to the side with an uneasy expression, "I think - I really don't want to work for Moga."

Chatelet was stunned.

"Yes, Lord Jiuxiang," Shen Ye continued, "I will always remember that you helped me kill a frost dragon, but I followed Mogahu and he never gave me any reward."

"——I am just a cow and a horse."

"Not only that, he is also very suspicious. Whenever I meet my girlfriend, he will send someone to take a look."

"My Lord, I can't do this any longer."

"I couldn't help coming to you."

Shen Ye finished speaking in one breath.

The murderous aura on Chatelet had dissipated.

——My right-hand men will come back to me even if they are sold out by me.

This kind of thing naturally comes with an indescribable and special sense of accomplishment.

"But I took three ancient corpses... It's hard to regret it, Baxter."

Chatelet groaned.

"They are just three ancient corpses, sir. I will get you three - no, six! You return the ancient corpses to Mogamo and take me back, okay?" Shen Ye said.

"By the way, I have something to ask you." Chatelet was thinking about something else.

"Sir, please speak."

"Have you found out what is deep in the Jinenga Valley of Hell?" asked Chatelet.

Shen Ye immediately said: "Oh, this matter, I found out that it is another hell, which is full of gods."

"Really?"

"Replacement guaranteed."

The flute sounds soothing.

Carla lowered her head and just played the flute, not caring about what was happening at the bar.

Chatelaine tilted his head and thought for a while, then reached out and put a glass of juice on the bar and pushed it in front of Shen Ye.

"Baxter, you are indeed very capable, but Mogahu may not let you go."

"grown ups!"

Shen Ye came close to Chatelaine and said in a low voice, "To be honest, sir, I haven't told Mogamo until now that all the Baxters are me."

"——The secret of my identity is now known only to you."

Chatelet listened to his show of loyalty and remembered the legend about the Baxter brothers in hell, and couldn't help laughing.

So funny.

However, such a funny thing——

"Really? Maha Ganesha doesn't even know this?" she asked with interest.

"I don't want to tell him at all, sir." Shen Ye said.

"Baxter...you are such a headache..."

"Sir, give me a chance and let me come back to help you!"

There is a sense of vitality in the sound of the flute.

Chatelet listened to the melodious flute music, thought about the trash men he had just killed, and looked at the vampire Baxter in front of him.

She shook the red wine glass and murmured, "Six ancient corpses... can we really get them? They are 'deep sea' level ancient corpses."

"Leave it to me, sir." Shen Ye said.

——The sealing spirit of the tomb is on her body. With her leading the way, dealing with a few ancient corpses is not a piece of cake, right?
Or just throw it to Jiuxiang like a "can" and let him handle it himself!

When Chatlet heard this and looked at Shen Ye's confident look, he was finally moved.

It's not just the six ancient corpses that are attracting me.

And because of Baxter——

I knew he was capable before.

But I didn't know he was that capable.

After the comparison, he found it again at this moment, which on the one hand showed his loyalty and on the other hand demonstrated his talent again.

——Then go meet Magahu.

"Please wait for me for a moment. I'll be back soon," said Chatelet.

"Yes, sir." Shen Ye said.

Chatelaine glanced at Shen Ye, then looked at Carla.

Ok……

It's okay actually.

But just in case, I still...

She raised her hand and pressed towards Carla through the air.

A cage made entirely of blood light suddenly appeared, trapping Kalula inside.

"This is one of my prey, don't touch her."

"As you command—but what do you want to do with her, sir? Perhaps I can help."

"...I want to ask her about the whereabouts of the Earth Mother. She is the Earth Mother's messenger and must know about this."

After saying this, Chateli disappeared into the void in a flash.

Shen Ye looked at Carla.

But he saw that Carla was also looking at him.

at the same time.

royal palace.

Maha Gahu sat high on the throne, listening to his subordinates' reports.

“Missions on all fronts have come to a standstill.”

"Sir, why don't you let me handle this? Baxter is really incompetent and hasn't come to take charge of the work until now."

Listening to his men's words, Magahu became hesitant.

Baxter——

That shouldn’t be the case. He is capable of doing the job, so why hasn’t he come yet?

Just when he was wondering, someone suddenly reported that the human prince wanted to see him.

Human prince?

"Your Highness, you are going to host a banquet for him. This was arranged yesterday and the banquet is ready." The subordinate said quickly.

Banquet.

Oh, why hold a banquet for him? Just kill him directly and use a puppet to save trouble.

"No need, let him come directly to me." said Moga.

Soon.

Norton was brought before Magahu.

"Are you getting used to living in the City of Eternal Night?" Mogahu asked casually.

"Your Highness, it was Long Wu Baxter who asked me to come here," said Norton.

"What did you say?" Regent King Mahajan couldn't help but ask.

"Long Wu Baxter introduced me here. He convinced me, and I will follow your footsteps with him." Norton saluted.

Magahu paused.

...Capture the human prince, and the entire human race will submit to you, without having to spend time conquering them.

From now on, any treasures and resources produced by the human race will belong to them.

——Baxter did it quietly.

In contrast, setting up a puppet also requires worrying about the human race's internal lip service, lack of effort, and various rebellions.

The ideal situation is that the royal family is directly dependent on me!
"How do you know Longwu Baxter?"

Magahu asked curiously.

"We have known each other for a long time and have a life-long friendship. He is loyal to you, so I am willing to take the same stance as him," said Norton.

We have known each other for a long time...

Mahajan didn't want to ask any more questions.

In fact, this is how Baxter does things!

He can always surprise you!

"Hahaha, Prince Norton, I assure you that your choice is absolutely correct."

Magahu waved his hand.

"Come, take the prince to the banquet, I will be there soon!"

"Yes!"

Two men led Norton there.

"Everyone, stand down."

The others retreated.

Only Maha Gama was left in the hall.

He spoke into the silent void:
"Haven't you been avoiding me lately? Why are you suddenly willing to show up?"

A female voice sounded in the void: "I don't like others to see my true appearance."

"You mean, this is the real you?" asked Magahu.

There was a flash of void.

The Marquise de Chatelet appeared in the hall.

"Do you think that the you who is thinking about the problem is the real you?"

She said in a sarcastic tone.

"Then, which me is the real me?" asked Maha Nirvana.

"You who are busy for everything, thinking about problems, fighting and talking, are actually just the reflection of your most superficial needs. The real you is overwhelmed by trivial matters. You have to find him, Maugam." said Marquise Chatelet.

——Crazy.

Magahu shook his head secretly, but his face remained expressionless, and he said:
"Why did you come to see me?"

Chatelet said, "For Baxter."

"Which Baxter? My men, or that singer?" asked Mogao.

"Do you know the singer Baxter?" asked Chatelet.

"I know. I heard that he was driven out of the Eternal Night City by his brother. This is just a small matter. Is it worth you making a special trip?" Mogahuo was puzzled.

Chatelet stared at him and suddenly burst into laughter.

interesting.

So much fun!

Baxter was right.

Magahu had no idea that all the Baxters were the same person!

So should I tell him?

No, no.

What if Magahu gets furious and insists on killing Baxter, wouldn't he lose a loyal subordinate?

Since Baxter didn't say anything, I won't say anything either.

"I want to discuss something with you," said Chatelet.

"Go ahead." Mogahu stared at her.

Nine phases. It's getting more and more abnormal.

"The singer Baxter belongs to me - I need her to trigger inspiration and find the direction to advance my skills." said Chatelet.

"No problem, but remember, Long Wu is mine and he is working for me now." said Moga.

Chatelet nodded seriously and responded:
"Then let's put it this way. The singing girl is mine, and Long Wu is yours."

"it is good."

"Then I'm going back."

"Wait a minute, Nine Phases."

Magahu threw something over.

Chatelet took it and saw that it was a pill.

"This is?"

"It was found in a large tomb. It has a calming effect. You can use it."

"Humph, since you mean well, I won't bother to tell you anything."

Chatlet took the pill and disappeared in a flash.

Maha Gahu sat on the throne for some time.

"Alas... this guy is going to cause big trouble sooner or later... we have to find the Nightmare Soldier as soon as possible."

"Where's Baxter? Should I ask him to come--"

A voice interrupted Magahu's meditation:
"Report!"

"What's the matter? Tell me." said Mogahu.

"An assassin named Rosalia, wearing the badge of the captain of the guard, came outside the palace."

"She demands an audience!"

Rosalia...

It's Baxter's subordinate.

"Let her in."

"Yes!"

A few minutes later.

Rosalia knelt on one knee and saluted Magaho.

"Baxter gave you the badge?" asked Mogahu.

"Yes, sir, I have found some things, please take a look."

Rosalia held a heavy iron box in her hands.

Maha Gahu took one look and started laughing.

"Tianluo's magic box? It's a pity that it's been damaged. I remember it took a lot of effort to build this thing. It's a pity that you can find it."

He stretched out his hand.

The iron box slowly flew in front of him.

Mogahu looked at it carefully for a while and nodded.

That's right.

This is Tianluo’s divine box. When the era changed, this treasure was specially created to protect the “Five Desires” cage from being affected by the energy fluctuations flying through the void.

Mogahu smiled and was about to let Rosalia leave when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

and many more.

The world of the five desires...

How could it be considered a cage?
Why don't I remember this at all?

Maha Gahu sat there, lost in confused thoughts.

……

the other side.

The castle of the Marquise de Chatelet.

That bar.

When Chatelet came back, Shen Ye was sitting at the bar, still tasting the glass of juice.

The centaur Kalula was trapped on the other side by a cage spell.

everything is normal.

"It's done - when you appear as the Diva Baxter, Magaho can't interfere with your actions. You are mine."

"As long as you don't appear as Longwu Baxter again, this matter will be fine."

Chatelet said lightly.

"Then let Long Wu Baxter disappear from now on." Shen Ye said.

"That's a good idea." Chatelet was very satisfied with his attitude.

more importantly--

"When are you going to find the ancient corpse for me?" she asked.

"Anytime is fine, but, Lord Jiuxiang, I was free just now and asked about the whereabouts of Mother Earth." Shen Ye said.

"Well, that's good—what did you say!"

Chatelet's voice suddenly rose.

in fact……

Whether it is Maha Gama or myself, the most important thing at the moment is the same.

——Looking for Mother Earth.

Whether it is Jiuxiang or Maha Gaya, they all want to obtain the ultimate secret of this world!
Shen Ye actually asked it?

"Did she really tell you?" Chatelet glanced at Carla.

Carla is still playing the flute.

She didn't even look over here, and didn't care at all about what was happening here.

"She said it." Shen Ye said.

Chatelet did not ask immediately, but came to the cage and said:

"Kalula, why would you rather tell him than me?"

Carla remembered what Shen Ye had just said.

——Never tell a lie.

After spending a long time with Jiuxiang, Shen Ye has keenly felt that Jiuxiang has a way of distinguishing the true from the false.

There is no evidence for this.

But there is no need for evidence, and it is never wrong to be cautious.

Carla stopped playing the flute and said:

"I know him. He once helped the orcs. He also found the Golden Seal of the Earth. It is a token from Mother Earth. I must believe him."

Chatelaine was stunned and slowly turned around to look at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye placed a golden leaf on the bar, shrugged and said, "Sir, I have been looking for clues about Mother Earth, and maybe I have been recognized."

"Mother Earth?" asked Chatelet.

"Sir, Mother Earth has been imprisoned by Tianluo! There should be some extremely powerful seal that prevents her from returning to the world, so we tried all kinds of methods but couldn't find her!" Shen Ye said excitedly.

——This is also true.

Chatelet sensed this immediately.

"Baxter," Chatelet said in a low voice, "I have finally realized one thing. That is, you are indeed a talented guy and are indeed qualified to be my direct subordinate."

Shen Ye struck while the iron was hot: "Sir, can you give me this centaur? I think she can still be of use."

"up to you."

As Chatelet said this, he opened his mouth, pulled out a tooth and placed it on the bar.

——The teeth of the Nine Phases.

Shen Ye once again won his recognition!

"Do your job well. I am not Magamo. I have helped you kill dragons before, and I will continue to support you in the future, Baxter."

After saying this, Chateli stepped into the void and disappeared.

she left.

——Perhaps he was in a hurry to find Tianluo’s relics.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze and looked at Carla.

Carla also stopped playing the flute and looked at Shen Ye excitedly.

She is the subordinate servant of Mother Earth!

At this moment, she not only sensed the Golden Seal of the Earth, but she even vaguely realized that Mother Earth was nearby!
"Centaur girl, you are mine now. If I ask you something, I hope you will tell me the truth, otherwise you will suffer."

Shen Ye said.

Carla was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly.

——What a cautious guy.

"Don't worry, vampire... Just because you have the Golden Seal of the Earth means I must trust you unconditionally."

Kalula said.

The blood cage around her slowly dissipated.

Shen Ye stepped forward and said in a low voice:
"I'm not as strong as you."

"Don't resist. I'm going to check your personal belongings one by one."

"Yes." Carula said.

Shen Ye was already standing in front of her and pulled the ring off her hand.

——Successful!

Shen Ye's anxious heart slowly settled down.

In the Dharma image, the Lord of the Underworld, Mictetika Shiva, and the Earth Mother spoke together:

"Success!"

Their voices were filled with joy.

The enemy can’t get Yaotai!
Now that he has Yaotai on his side, there is hope for a change in the war situation.

One day, people with “five desires” will be driven out of this nightmare world!
"Take whatever you want. My ring only contains some stone materials for earth magic, as well as a sword and a bow. There is no gold!"

Carla said calmly.

Shen Ye understood immediately——

She told herself that if she wanted to find something, she shouldn't look for it in these things.

Even though Jiuxiang had left, the two still adopted the most cautious approach and content of their conversation.

Shen Ye turned the ring, put his mental power into it, and began to check various items.

He ignored everything Carla said.

Soon, he saw something strange.

That was a——

Tablet?

Shen Ye was curious, but he didn't want to take it out and hold it in his hand to examine it carefully for a long time.

If Jiuxiang suddenly comes back and sees this thing, he might become suspicious.

Let’s get it first.

He directly took out the "tablet" and put it into his ring in an instant.

"Okay, Carula, let's talk about Mother Earth now."

Shen Ye said pretentiously.

"What do you want to ask?" Carla also pretended.

"What on earth does Mother Earth have control over—"

Shen Ye stopped talking suddenly in the middle of his words.

Carla also stood there, staring, without saying a word.

The two of them remained in their original position.

Even Miktiti Kashiva, Lord of the Underworld, and the Earth Mother in the dharma form held their breath.

this moment.

The entire nightmare world, everything that exists, all sensed one thing -

——My own power is slipping away!
Carla knelt on the ground all of a sudden, supported herself with both hands, and said to Shen Ye:
"How is this going?"

Shen Ye was already lying on the ground, saying, "I don't know either."

next second.

Chatelaine suddenly appeared, looked at the two of them, grabbed Shen Ye, and disappeared into the void again.

The world of "five desires".

palace.

Chateli landed, placed Shen Ye in the palace, and said hurriedly:

"No matter what happened in the nightmare world, this place is safe. Don't move around here. I'll go check out the situation."

After saying this, his figure flashed and disappeared again.

Shen Ye lay on the floor, still motionless.

——All the strength in his body was drained away, and at this moment he couldn't even stand up.

But that's nothing.

He tried to remain calm, looking into the void in front of him, watching the lines of dim words that kept refreshing:

"Obtain Yaotai."

"You possess the Hun Tian Sect's Dharma Image, 'Guang Han Palace'."

"You possess the ultimate secret form of the True Moon in the Universe, which is the key to the secrets of the world."

"Yaotai automatically activated."

"Yaotai absorbed all the power of the nightmare world, awakened again, and began to complete the attack."

attack?

Shen Ye was very surprised.

——At least the attack should have a target.

I didn't specify any target, how can it complete the attack?

Sudden.

An unprecedented sense of crisis arose in my heart.

Everything around seemed to be frozen.

Shen Ye froze in place, unable to move at all.

...No way!

He immediately set a coordinate point on the spot, then opened the door on the floor and fell in.

This is back to the main world.

However, the suffocating feeling of death did not disappear, but became stronger and stronger.

He opened the door again and returned to the underground secret passage of the nightmare world.

——It’s useless!

A blazing light-shaped spear suddenly appeared and pierced Shen Ye in an instant.

Shen Ye didn't feel anything.

However, a sound like an insect buzzing with pain erupted from his body.

at the same time.

The long-lost voice sounded in his ears:

"Don't be afraid, it's not you who will be killed."

"—Ten thousand years ago, the world will created me at the last moment of its life, condensed the nightmare world, and prepared to use it to perform a magic to fight back."

"Unfortunately, before the spell could be performed, it was killed by the emperor-type cosmic giant insect."

"I didn't expect that it would take ten thousand years—"

“This move has finally been awakened.”

"Its mission is to kill the monarch species, and it will definitely do it."

"——This is the revenge of the world's will!"
