Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 408 The game begins!
"The contents of the jade slip were not written by humans."

Shen Ye said.

"Are you sure?" asked the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"I just looked it up in the entries. Actually, using the three techniques outside the seal will not have any impact." Shen Ye said.

"This information comes from ancient times and has been passed down for many years. We have verified it with various techniques and there is no problem." said the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"The entry on me is a mythical destiny entry." Shen Ye said.

He displayed two entries directly above his head.

——Tongtianshu exclusive entry "Penglai Mountain Master";
——The mythical entry on the destiny side: “The tool of destiny”.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain looked at the same name above Shen Ye's head, and felt the fluctuation of spiritual power in his body, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Humans cannot obtain entries on the fate side. The original view was that humans were always carried by fate, drifting with the tide, wandering through life and death. Only cosmic monsters were favored by the laws of fate."

"But in the future you will be able to obtain the Destiny entry."

"It seems that the Immortal Kingdom has been tampered with by someone a long time ago."

Shen Ye nodded.

At this time, the Lord of Penglai Mountain stared at him, hesitated, and said:

"Your spiritual power... I have never seen it, but I remember that you also practiced the Supreme Forgetfulness and Ascension Sutra."

"Yes," Shen Ye said, "This is indeed refined spiritual power."

"To what extent?" asked the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

Shen Ye performed a few magic spells, and his whole body was suddenly covered with a layer of bright purple light.

This moment.

An indescribable shudder arose spontaneously and instantly spread throughout his body.

A scene quietly emerged in my mind:
The Lord of Penglai Mountain was also standing here, looking at him absentmindedly, and saying a series of words:

"Tongtian Lingguang... I didn't expect it to really come out. What on earth are you doing here this time?"

"…I must tell you the secret of the Three Arts."

All the images flashed away.

All the pores on Shen Ye's body stood up.

What was that just now?
Why am I seeing something that didn't happen?

He looked across and saw the Penglai Mountain Master looking at him absentmindedly, and said softly:

"Tongtian Lingguang... I didn't expect it to really come out. What on earth are you doing here this time?"

Shen Ye was stunned.

——This is exactly the same as the scene that appeared in my mind before!

Lines of dim words quietly emerged:

"At this extremely important historical moment, Tongtianshu released a 'masterless activation'."

"——The next time it wants to release 'Ownerless Activation', it must accumulate power for another 30,000 years."

"Now, it has come on stage, ready to witness humanity's final struggle."

“It requires you to appreciate this opportunity.”

in other words--

This is the only chance.

Tongtianshu gave himself this opportunity!

But what exactly does it do?
What is its principle?
"I need to fight that monster for the Heaven Shaking Technique."

Shen Ye said as he thought.

"You can't defeat it. No one can defeat it - even if it is only one thousandth of its power." said the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"Only after I inherit the Heaven-shaking Art can the Heaven-reaching Art communicate with me." Shen Ye said truthfully.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain looked at him and didn't say anything for a long time.

Shen Ye looked at her without retreating and continued:
“In the future, the successor of the Heaven Shaking Technique was captured and sealed by it, but I want to say that I must become the second successor, otherwise the Heaven Shaking Technique will still not be able to be brought to the world.”

"—I swear I'm telling the truth."

The Lord of Penglai Mountain was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly made a magic seal with his hands.

For an instant.

All the gems and demonized gems that Shen Ye had ever used flew out and landed in front of the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

They all emitted light and shadows, which appeared as pictures in the void.

——Those are the scenes of Shen Ye acting on Mount Penglai using the identity of the current era.

Nothing is left out.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain looked at it silently for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and said:

"Since that monster has gone to Haoyang Palace, there is no other way... I must tell you the secret of the Three Techniques."

That’s it!
This scene happened in my mind just now.

Shen Ye inexplicably felt as if everything was settled.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain continued slowly:

"In the earliest era, there were no living beings or anything. In the endless chaos and primordial chaos, there was only the sleeping Creator and the Master of Creation."

"This is the First Age."

"When the First Era ended, no catastrophe occurred."

"——So at the beginning of the Second Era, the Creator and the Creators woke up and began to create the heavens, the earth, the stars, all things, and all sentient beings."

"The Second Era—"

"It existed for 480 million years, and then it encountered a catastrophe that destroyed the world."

"Because it possesses the most primitive and powerful power of creation, when this era is destroyed, a most precious wealth will be passed down to the next era."

"——Heaven-shaking Technique!"

"The Third Era was not as powerful as the Second Era, but it developed prosperously and brilliantly in the process of civilization, creating infinite laws, allowing all forces to converge into the Dharma Realm, and producing all kinds of unprecedented treasures."

"At the time of the destruction of the Third Era, the most powerful civilization in the era used all its strength to create a technique that preserved the achievements of all civilizations."

"That technique may not be very powerful, but it is extremely special. It also has a name—"

"The Art of the Universe!"

“By the time the Fourth Era began, all living things had been annihilated, and only a few creators and world masters remained.”

"The remaining masters of the universe all realized that the end of the era is the most dangerous thing."

“From this era on, the Creator and the God of Creation no longer have any reservations.”

"They gave everything passed down from the Second and Third Eras to the universe, hoping that this Era would be stronger than before, and even able to fight against the end of the Era."

"Under their almost crazy full-force efforts, the Supreme Immortal Kingdom was born."

"Our civilization used the Heaven Shaking Technique and the Heaven Hun Technique as its protection, and tried its best to deduce a method to resist the end of the era, and finally obtained a technique."

"——The Art of Reaching the Heavens!"

Shen Ye was so excited that he couldn't help but say, "The Fourth Era... should have been destroyed. I remember you said we are now in the Fifth Era."

Penglai Mountain Main Road:
"All the creators died in the battle, all planetary civilizations and cosmic life were destroyed, only the Supreme Immortal Kingdom survived the destruction of the Fourth Era and stood proudly at this moment in the Fifth Era."

Her eyes finally fell on Shen Ye again, and she said solemnly:

"After this battle, the successors of the three arts gradually died out, especially the most important Tongtian Art. Although it has always existed, it has not found a suitable successor."

"——You are the first person in this era to achieve the 'Heavenly Light'."

"so……"

"I want to try."

The Lord of Penglai Mountain took out a brand new gem from his sleeve and presented it to Shen Ye with great care.

"You've used a lot of this stone. Do you know what it is?" she asked.

"This is the identity gem produced by your technique." Shen Ye said.

"This is the chess piece used by the Supreme Saint King to fight chess by changing his form and spirit." said the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"Chess piece? I've never heard of it." Shen Ye.

He looked at the gem, but saw a misty fog emanating from it, as if there was a special law permeating it, blocking all prying eyes.

"Do you think these gems that can travel through time and space are my magic? No, this is the ultimate means of self-rescue for our fairy country."

The Lord of Penglai Mountain placed the gem in his hand, stared at him, and said softly:
"Only those who have mastered the three arts, or the masters of Haoyang Palace, Guanghan Palace, and Penglai Fairy Mountain, can make moves in the time and space of the fairyland."

Fall...piece?

Shen Ye looked at the gem in his hand and an idea flashed through his mind.

No.

No way.

The reason why I arrived at this moment from the future is actually because I got the chess pieces from the predecessors of the Immortal Kingdom?

——The Supreme Saint King changes his form and spirit to play chess.

The fairyland actually created such a great and incredible technique to protect the fate of the entire civilization?
He suppressed his disbelief and couldn't help but say:

"You mean - this gem can carry me, give me identity, let me -"

"——Let you use this moment as a mark and appear in the more distant past of the fairyland." The Lord of Penglai Mountain continued.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start right away - if I could go back to the fairyland's past from this moment, I would definitely be able to obtain the Heaven-Shaking Art." Shen Ye said excitedly.

"No, you didn't understand what I said." The Lord of Penglai Mountain stared at him, his expression full of deep meaning.

Shen Ye was stunned, then quickly calmed down, thought for a while, and said:

"I understand……"

"What do you understand?" asked the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"Anyone who masters the three arts, or the master of Haoyang Palace, Guanghan Palace, or Penglai Fairy Mountain, can make a move in the time and space of the fairyland—"

"Once you make a move, the other party will also make a move, is that right?" Shen Ye asked.

"That's right." said the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"That monster went to Haoyang Palace. Maybe it has already controlled the master of Haoyang Palace, or someone who has mastered the Heaven-shaking Art." Shen Ye said.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain said calmly: "The Lord of Guanghan Palace died in the battle; the Hun Tian Technique disappeared without a trace; the Tong Tian Technique did not work; a quarter of an hour ago, I lost contact with Haoyang Palace."

Shen Ye was silent for a while.

——The Supreme Saint King changes his form and spirit to play chess.

Once the Lord of Penglai Mountain makes a move, the monster will immediately notice it and make the same move.

This is equivalent to a game of chess.

A game of chess concerning the fate of the Immortal Kingdom and all human beings!

And he must master the inheritance of the Heaven Shaking Technique, and then obtain the blessing of the Heaven-reaching Technique——

Then we can only fight for it!
The Lord of Penglai Mountain said: "My strength is not as good as its. Once you use this gem, it is very likely that it will drop seven or eight pieces while I can only drop one piece."

"What kind of situation would that be?" Shen Ye asked.

"I don't know. We have never had any internal fighting."

"This gem is called 'Son of the Past' and is the most important chess piece of all."

"It is the last resort of the Immortal Kingdom. It was originally intended to send the strongest people back to the past to find hope - it is the first time it has been activated." said the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"After I leave, will you still be able to make a move? What will happen?" Shen Ye asked.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain pinched the seal with one hand.

Suddenly, colorful gems of various sizes appeared in the void.

——They are all chess pieces!
"Subsequent moves will provide you with favorable conditions, or provide you with additional reinforcements, etc." said the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"——Come on, there is no other way, send me back to the past." Shen Ye said.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain stepped forward, held the gem in his hand and said:
"Think carefully. The enemy moves faster than I do. They can easily create many obstacles and life-threatening situations for you. You have to face everything on your own. I can only help you once in a long time."

Shen Ye said, "But we have the first move in this game. We have the upper hand if we strike first. You can definitely set up convenient conditions for me first, right?"

"Yes, now the monster doesn't know what we are doing. I can calmly and carefully set up conditions for you." said the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

She suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Have you thought of the first move conditions?"

Shen Ye nodded and said:
"What I want is a condition like this: 'No matter what the situation is, I will be reminded to roll up, and once I really roll up, I will get practical benefits.'"

He silently sensed the void.

After he said this, he even felt an inexplicable joy in the void.

The magic of celestial power is still there!
It has already personally taken action and made an "autonomous activation", and is not willing to remain silent now.

——It seems that if I “roll it up” myself, I can deepen my resonance with it!
As Shen Ye was thinking, he saw a line of small words pop up from the void:

"I will borrow your 'door' ability and use the Tongtian technique to transmit two words:"

"Take the road."

"What is a scroll?" asked the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"It means doing the same thing as other beings, but doing it better than them." Shen Ye said.

“——This is not difficult. You have to think it through carefully. The advantage of taking the initiative only comes once.” said the Lord of Penglai Mountain.

"I've thought it through. Just send me there." Shen Ye said.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain nodded, stretched out a white and slender finger, and flicked the gem in his hand hard.

Click.

The gem shattered.

The void suddenly turned into a huge whirlpool and sucked Shen Ye in in an instant.

dark.

Endless darkness rushed backwards.

Shen Ye felt that his speed had reached its limit.

He could see countless images of light and shadow hidden around him.

Those are decisive historical events and figures in time and space.

He was swimming upstream—

Moving at full speed towards the past era of the fairyland!
At a certain moment, the anxious voice of the Lord of Penglai Mountain sounded in his ears:

“It noticed!”

"Sure enough, it moves very quickly, but remember, I have already set the condition you requested, you must not lose faith—"

Before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly stopped.

Lines of dim words appeared in front of Shen Ye's eyes:

"In this game of chess where the Supreme Saint King changes form and moves his spirit, your enemy is constantly making moves."

"The opponent noticed your intention and instantly dropped four bullets, forming a four-fold sniper attack on you:"

"1. Although you have traveled to the prosperous era of the fairyland, you are only three years old, and you only have all the attributes of a three-year-old;"

"2. You temporarily forget everything;"

"3. All your pets and contractors will be kept at the same age as you, and sealed so they cannot be summoned."

"4. You will be attacked in a quarter of an hour."

Shen Ye’s eyes went dark.

Son of a bitch.

So cruel!

next second.

He began to forget everything and arrived at a certain era scene in the fairyland.

……

Fairyland.

Small fishing village.

A fisherman's fenced yard.

The three-year-old child was curled up in the recliner, but suddenly he opened his eyes and sat up.

A look of confusion appeared on the child's face.

who am I?
what am i doing?
What is this place?
suddenly.

A strange memory flooded into my mind, causing severe pain.

The child screamed, covered his forehead, rolled to the ground, and kept groaning.

for a while.

He finally recovered.

——It turns out that I am a little kid named Xu Qingfeng, and I am three years old.

The plague passed through the country and his father and mother died.

The house is empty.

I was dead too.

and many more.

its not right.

Since I am only three years old, why do I feel a headache when recalling my life experience?

Shen Ye——

Or, Xu Qingfeng climbed up from the recliner and saw his dog peeing in front of a tree root in the yard.

"You want to roll..."

A female voice sounded faintly in the void, sounding a little anxious, and even revealing a sense of despair.

roll?
"What...is a scroll?" Xu Qingfeng asked loudly.

"It means doing the same thing as other beings, but doing it better than them." The female voice sounded in the void.

Roll?

Roll.

Why did I accept this so naturally?
——It’s like something that becomes a habit unwillingly but subconsciously.

and many more.

Am I really three years old?
Xu Qingfeng was about to go crazy, but he subconsciously jumped off the recliner, rushed towards his dog, stood beside the dog, took off his pants, and urinated on the tree with the dog.

Pee!

Urine pouring out!
Lines of dim small words suddenly appeared:

"Congratulations."

"Your pee lasts longer, goes farther, and is louder than a dog's."

"You won the roll!"

"Tongtianshu is speechless about this, but I appreciate your attitude."

"In view of the victory in this roll, and Tong Tian Shu's praise, the seal of 'No Summoning of Companions' has been broken."

"You can now summon a companion to travel with you!"

What is the Tongtianshu...

What is summoning...

"call!"

Xu Qingfeng shouted.

bang——

A young skeleton as tall as him appeared from the void.

—As big as a dead child.

"Ghost!"

Xu Qingfeng ran away.

"Wait a minute, it's me, it's me!" The little skeleton made a childish voice and chased after him hurriedly.

A few minutes later.

A child and a dead child's skeleton were both gasping in the yard.

"Brother, let me tell you - your name is actually Shen Ye."

The dead child skeleton gasped for breath.

"I'm Xu Qingfeng, who is Shen Ye?" The child also panted.

"You are trapped by the enemy's consecutive moves, one of which is forgetting your memory." said the Dead Child Skeleton.

"What about you? Who are you?" asked the child Xu Qingfeng.

"I'm Fei Lun, your good buddy - because of the seal, my age is suppressed to the same three-year-old level as you." said the Dead Child Skeleton.

Xu Qingfeng looked at him, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy arose in his heart.

Maybe it's true?
Otherwise why am I so familiar with it?
"There may be danger next. I'll dig a hole for you. You hide in it and I'll block it." said the dead child skeleton.

It squatted on the ground and began to dig the ground with its sharp bone claws.

Digging?

This is such a rip off.

Xu Qingfeng took a look, ran into the room, found the cellar in the kitchen, patted the wooden board on the cellar, and said loudly:
"Stop digging and come help me move this board!"

The dead child skeleton runs in and helps him move the board away.

Shen Ye jumped in.

"Hey, you are only three years old. What if there is an enemy, how will you fight?" he asked loudly.

"I will fucking resurrect!" shouted the dead child skeleton.

It seemed to remember something, and hurriedly warned: "My tombstone is in your Dharma image. Once you feel something, you must let me out!"

"How can I let you out?"

"Recite silently 'We will meet under the moon on Yaotai', and I will be able to come out with the power of this spell."

"I actually have such power?" Xu Qingfeng was surprised.

"I'm not bad either. I can transform into various animals!" said the dead child skeleton.

"is it?"

Xu Qingfeng kicked the little skeleton into the cellar.

"What? This is where you hide. I want to fight!" said the little skeleton.

"When we worked together in the past, who usually came up with the ideas?" Xu Qingfeng asked.

"You are responsible for all the evil things that happen to people." The little skeleton said without hesitation.

"Say it again." Xu Qingfeng stared at the dead child's skeleton.

"You are good at battlefield command." The little skeleton changed his words.

"Then listen to me." Xu Qingfeng said.

——Strange, I seem to have a lot of inspiration when it comes to battlefield command.

A few minutes later.

There was a loud noise outside.

"Kill them all! Kill them all!"

A murderous voice echoed throughout the village.

Followed by.

The sounds of horse hooves separated and went to different parts of the village.

The yard here also heard the sound of horse hooves, and then the door was kicked open with a bang.

Someone looked around the room and said angrily:

"Damn, this is too fucking poor."

The sound of horse hooves faded away.

Another few minutes passed.

There was a sound of footsteps.

"An adult has already been here, and there seems to be nothing here."

"Huh, we still get the chance to benefit?"

"Then what are we doing here?"

"Take a rest! Aren't you tired after running behind the adults' horses for so long?"

"Yeah, let's hide away for a while."

Two footsteps gradually approached.

As usual, they checked the house first.

sometimes.

Adults don't pay attention to details and occasionally forget some copper coins, grains, etc.

Although the adults don't think highly of it, it is still a gain for the minions.

thump.

There was a noise in the cellar.

"Someone!"

"Haha, check whether it's a boy or a girl, if it's a boy, just kill him!"

"If we're lucky it's a girl... hehe!"

The footsteps became hurried, mixed with the sound of weapons being drawn.

next second.

The two men entered the kitchen, squatted in front of the cellar, and looked down.

"Can you see clearly?"

"It's too dark down there...but I can see it's a turtle, not a human."

"I saw it too. It was indeed a turtle."

The two looked at each other, and the murderous intent in their bodies disappeared.

——In this famine-stricken age, being able to eat stewed turtle is simply unimaginable!

"Don't tell anyone." One person whispered.

"Of course. There are salt and firewood in the kitchen. We must hurry down to catch this turtle and stew it and eat it before noon. Otherwise, it will be too late when the gathering time comes." Another person licked his lips and said.

"I'll go catch them, and you'll be on guard."

"Oh, what's there to be wary of?"

"If anyone else comes, just shout and tell them we are searching here and ask them to go somewhere else."

"Okay, I'll watch outside."

The cellar boards were removed.

One person stood at the door, stretching his neck to look outside.

Another jumped down.

It is hard to see clearly up there, and once you come down the view becomes even darker and even less clear.

The turtle on the ground was fluttering around everywhere.

The man became happy and shouted upwards:

"This turtle is not small, it's as big as a two or three year old baby. I'm in for a treat today."

He pounced on it.

puff.

Suddenly, hard bone spurs appeared on the turtle's back and pierced through the man's body.

The man twitched continuously and tried to speak but couldn't.

The turtle turned his head, stared at him coldly, and said in human language:
"Fuck you, who did you just call a bastard?"
