Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 445 Blessing of Truth!

Shen Ye looked at the cards in his hand, confused for a moment.

This is a completely grey card.

The card was covered in a thin mist, and it was impossible to see what was on it.

A line of small, dim words filled with question marks was suspended in midair:
"????"

——I can’t interpret it.

Besides.

There are no other prompts.

Tsk.

This is quite strange.

The seventh level monster of truth just now threw this card over and quickly left.

——It makes you work hard.

Judging from the tone and attitude, this card should be considered a reward.

award……

Shen Ye thought about it carefully.

The monster didn't even say a word to the middle-aged man who tipped off the person, and just killed him directly.

arrogant.

——It was too lazy to deal with these slaves.

Slaves are its food.

With such an attitude, how can they easily give out rewards?
but--

I can't see the function of the card at all.

correct.

Cuckold!
Maybe he knew something.

Shen Ye quickly returned to the bottom of the cabin, only to see the cuckolded man still sitting there.

"Do you know what this is?"

Shen Ye showed the cards in front of him and asked.

The green hat man was startled, with an incredible look on his face:
"Did you get the overseas assignment certificate?"

"What is an overseas assignment certificate?" Shen Ye asked.

"Only those who perform extremely well can use this card to go to the White Night Cage for further training, and then transform into a monster, thus escaping from the status of slavery!" the cuckolded man said excitedly.

"..." Shen Ye.

A system that exploits slaves actually has such a pie-in-the-sky setting?
In endless despair, if there is a pie hanging in the sky, people will see hope and be willing to persevere.

but--

With such a system, even if there are ways to escape, it wouldn't be so easy!

It must be very difficult to successfully eat the cake.

——Why did that monster look at me so highly? Why did he just give me the cake?
Too strange.

I had just arrived and had no idea what was going on here, nor did I have any information.

A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Shen Ye's mind.

Yes.

Why bother thinking about this and that here——

He spread out his palms and whispered to himself:
"It's a nice day today, let's tell your fortune."

Destiny divination starts!

Before he finished speaking, a glowing curve quietly appeared on Shen Ye's left palm.

Shen Ye suddenly held his breath.

There are some issues with this line.

It is black.

In the twisting and jumping black, there is an unconcealable blazing golden light that occasionally flashes, like a fleeting glimpse, extremely mysterious.

what's the situation?
Must make this clear!

Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly a picture appeared in his mind.

The fortune-telling of fate has begun.

The screen continued to flash.

Shen Ye saw that he had used this unknown card and was teleported out of the cabin in an instant.

I was transported into complete darkness.

Icy.

dark.

Lonely.

What is this place?
Just as I was feeling confused, I discovered that there was a presence that blocked out the sky and was approaching this side not far away.

Completely too late to react.

A feeling of pain that penetrated into the bone surged over me.

dark.

dark.

dark.

In the eternal darkness——

Shen Ye suddenly opened his eyes and broke free from those images.

He looked down at his palms.

The dark curve in the palm of his hand continued to flicker.

"Brother, can you see what I have in my hand?" Shen Ye asked.

"What?" The cuckolded man looked at Shen Ye's hand blankly, "Your left hand? There's nothing there."

Do not!
This card is by no means a reward certificate for further studies!

There must be something wrong with it!

"Use the voucher quickly." The cuckolded man urged.

"Why?" Shen Ye asked.

"Once someone gets wind of the news, they will definitely rush back and try their best to take it away from you!" said the cuckolded man.

The words have not yet fallen.

The void opens continuously.

One after another, human professionals appeared in front of the two.

"I'll buy!"

Someone shouted.

The man was knocked out by the punch and fell unconscious on the ground.

"What are you buying? What strength do you have? Why are you yelling in front of me?" the man swinging the fist shouted loudly.

Shen Ye put the cards away and stared at the people around him.

Unexpectedly, the crowd just surrounded him, but no one rushed up.

The strong man who threw the fist smiled apologetically:
"My dear sir, your friend didn't finish what he said."

"No one can snatch the card for further study, unless you give it up voluntarily."

"So please let me buy it, and you decide how much it costs."

"You can also exchange things!"

The crowd chattered:
"correct."

"Be fair, let's auction it."

“The highest bidder gets it.”

"It won't hurt the relationship."

Shen Ye looked around at everyone.

As long as there is something wrong, he is ready to use the BGM of the seventh level of truth.

But the crowd was filled with greed and enthusiasm, but no one really wanted to take action against him.

They are just quoting.

Quote...

Do these people really think they can go for further studies?

"How much can you offer?"

Shen Ye asked.

A professional said loudly:

"I'll give you a Truth Armor. Young man, you look like a capable guy, but it's a pity that you don't have a powerful armor."

"Bah! Your battle armor is only the first level of truth, and it's almost rotten. Little brother, I will exchange it with you for five rare truth materials."

"Don't listen to them, I'm giving you an unopened chest of truth!"

"And I……"

The sound of quotations continued to be heard from all sides.

Shen Ye's ears were buzzing from the noise, but he tried to concentrate and carefully distinguish the bids made by these professionals.

"Everyone get out of here!"

A roar sounded.

Everyone looked back in displeasure.

I saw a pale, thin man walking down the stairs.

As soon as he appeared, the temperature in the entire corridor dropped a few degrees.

The crowd looked at him and dispersed silently.

Many people slipped away and disappeared in a short while.

"Young man, I'll take the certificate in your hand."

the man said.

He even wore black eyeshadow, wrapped himself in a black windbreaker, and revealed his sharp teeth when he opened his mouth to speak.

"Vampire?" Shen Ye asked.

"You should call me the Vampire King Schumann." the man said coldly.

"Okay, Vampire King Schumann, what's your bid?" Shen Ye asked.

Schumann grinned, took out a long knife from his arms and placed it in front of Shen Ye.

As soon as the knife was pulled out, it emitted layers of gray light, looking extremely mysterious.

"They don't understand you, but I do."

The vampire leaned forward and whispered in Shen Ye's ear.

"Do you understand me?" Shen Ye asked.

"You are a swordsman, and you are in urgent need of a long sword with the power of truth. I happen to have one here."

Schumann's tone became slow and seductive:

"How is it? The Weapon of Truth is a rare and valuable item. This sword is extremely famous. If you and I exchange, we will both be satisfied."

Shen Ye didn't answer for a moment and looked down at his hands.

I really need a weapon of truth that can cause damage to the enemy.

but!

Through what happened just now, I have understood.

——Many truth-level equipment and things are unrecognizable.

Even if it was a gate ability that originated from the Sixth Age, the annotations attached to it were sometimes unable to identify objects above the truth.

But fate does not miss any truth.

When Shen Ye looked at his hands, a new curve of light appeared on his hands, and a picture appeared in his mind.

It was a battle.

He drew out his long sword, but just as he fought with the enemy, the sword broke.

——Obviously, this knife doesn’t work.

"Your knife looks powerful, but it's a fake."

Shen Ye said bluntly.

The professionals wandering around looked up in surprise and looked at the long knife in Schumann's hand.

fake?

Schumann is a great guy.

Now you say his weapon is fake. If you can't provide hard evidence, he will definitely get furious!

Shen Ye smiled, and without even giving the vampire a chance to refute, he continued:

"Don't give any explanations—"

"If you dare to use it to fight against my weapon and it doesn't break, I will hand over this certificate to you without charging any fee."

The words fell.

Everyone looked at the vampire Schumann.

Schumann's face was uncertain, and suddenly he laughed wildly and said loudly:
"The knife in my hand has thirty-six disguises. Can you tell the real from the fake?"

"As expected of someone who can be granted a certificate!"

The knife disappeared in an instant.

Waited for a breath.

Schumann took out another long knife and said excitedly:

"This is——"

Shen Ye interrupted him and said, "This is the same sword as before."

Schumann was stunned for a moment, shaking the long sword with his hand, motioning Shen Ye to look carefully.

"This knife is longer, heavier, and more powerful than the previous one. Look, it has—"

Shen Ye interrupted again: "It is the one just now."

Schumann opened his mouth, stared at him coldly, and said indifferently:
"You are mistaken, but they were indeed forged at the same time, so it is easy to mistake them."

Shen Ye laughed in his heart.

This guy clearly wanted to deceive people, but after being exposed, he still wanted to save face.

next second.

Shen Ye's eyes suddenly focused.

Just because the vampire Schumann's hand turned into a shadow and flashed in the air.

A new long knife appeared in his hand.

"This knife in exchange for your certificate - you've made a killing, kid."

Schumann said with some pain.

Shen Ye glanced at the long sword.

it is good.

There is nothing unusual about fortune telling.

This knife is the right thing.

"I agree to this deal, but we need to wait a little longer before we can complete the transaction."

Shen Ye said.

"Why?" asked the vampire Schumann.

"It's a bit of my personal obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have to wait until a certain moment before I am willing to complete the transaction." Shen Ye said.

“Will this take a long time?”

"will not."

"Well, we can have some wine and wait for your moment."

Schumann indifferently took out a red bottle and two goblets, placed them on the railing, and began to pour wine.

——In its long life, it has met all kinds of people, and these people have all kinds of special hobbies.

Not just people.

Even many things have their own strange rules.

This is normal.

As long as it does not affect the transaction, you don't have to worry too much about it.

"Pure girl's blood, would you like some?"

Schumann picked up the glass, spoke in a praising tone, and then handed the glass to Shen Ye.

"No need." Shen Ye glanced at the bright red human blood shaking in the wine glass with a calm expression.

——At this moment, the curves on the hands kept changing.

It changed from black to gold, and from gold to gray and black, without stopping for a moment.

The changes of fate are so unpredictable.

Somewhere in the dark, Shen Ye had a vague premonition.

--wait.

I need to wait for the change of fate until it reaches a certain state. Time passes by every second.

Schumann had already drunk the second cup of the girl's blood. He wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly with a white handkerchief and squinted his eyes.

"To be honest, I respect different customs and rules, but you should at least give me an accurate time, or chat with me, otherwise it will be boring to wait here all the time."

"Is the work here busy?" Shen Ye asked.

"Newcomer, you have to pay for asking me these questions, but for the sake of our big deal, I can tell you casually-"

"It's not bad. It's all fighting and killing every day. But as long as you complete one big task and two small tasks a week, you can survive."

"Is there any overtime?" Shen Ye asked.

"What does overtime mean?" Schumann asked back.

"Even though you have completed the task, you still have to stay at your job and continue working." Shen Ye said.

"What's the point of this?" Schumann wondered.

"Well, working overtime may mean that we have to finish all the work for the next period of time today to make time for other things later." Shen Ye said.

"We could die in battle at any time, why should we worry about tomorrow?" Schumann frowned.

"So no overtime?"

"No."

Shen Ye simply gave up on this question and continued to ask: "How is the usual treatment?"

"You mean the reward?"

"Correct."

"After completing the tasks each week, you can enjoy basic survival supplies and space."

“What if more is completed?”

Shuman looked at him again and asked in confusion: "Why do you have to finish more? Do you have to rush when you are a slave?"

"Will there be higher rewards if I complete more tasks?" Shen Ye asked.

"No one would do that - if you did that, it would definitely attract the attention of the White Night monsters, and they would think you had evil intentions."

"Will it cause you trouble?"

"No, I'll just eat you."

"Okay... so what do you do after you complete your mission every week?"

"I like to capture some human girls to drink their blood. Of course, my piano skills are also constantly improving. You have to come to my next concert."

"Okay, but is this what you usually do?"

"Otherwise, we are slaves now. We don't have much to enjoy. You have to get used to it."

"So what time do you usually go to bed?"

"Nine in the morning - I will sleep until twelve at night, then get up to eat something, look at some task lists, do them if they are suitable, and find a vampire girl to talk philosophy if there is nothing suitable."

“Don’t you need to punch in to work here?”

"There's only the mission - once the mission is completed, no one will care what you do." Schumann said, shaking his red wine glass.

"I see you've adapted quite well." Shen Ye said.

"Of course, I used to conquer planets, train billions of blood slaves, and be busy scheming with others and snatching all kinds of treasures. But since I came here, to be honest, my life has become very regular, my mentality has improved a lot, and everything is very fulfilling," said Schumann.

Shen Ye was silent for a while.

Can slaves be like this?
Isn’t this much better than cattle, horses, chickens and ducks?
stop!
Now is not the time to think about this.

But Schumann continued:
"Here's a piece of advice for you - in those big missions, sometimes you will run into guys you can't beat. At this time, don't worry about your face. Calling for reinforcements is the right thing to do."

"Can we call for reinforcements?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, we not only have reinforcements, but also medical officers, injury and sickness allowances, psychological therapists, and a series of subsidies."

"Aren't you slaves?"

“But the system is sound.”

"..."

"That female vampire is a psychic healer. Damn, it took me a while to seduce her, but she's so beautiful at night—"

"Who asked you?" Shen Ye interrupted him.

"what?"

"I mean, who cares? I'm telling you, no one's asking you that."

"Haha, you're jealous."

"absolutely not."

"Is your life worse than that of a slave?"

Shen Ye's eyes became fierce.

We have to hurt each other, right?

He smiled and asked gently, "I wonder if you have any punishment measures here, the kind that will deal with those who fail to complete tasks, do not abide by discipline, and cause trouble everywhere."

"Put him in solitary confinement or kill him," Schumann said.

"How is confinement done?"

"Just lock it up. The room is very small. You can't go out. No one talks to you. There's nothing."

"What about the cell phone?"

"Communication equipment? Of course it can't be used."

"I would suggest that there should still be wifi in the cells, but it will be sporadic and very laggy when it is available."

"...You devil, don't make such suggestions."

"What do you care about me?"

Shen Ye suddenly felt something and looked down.

I saw the curve on the palm suddenly change from gray to black, then quickly turned into white, and finally turned into a blazing golden light.

The golden light continues and does not change for the time being.

——The golden line of destiny!
This is the moment!

"Why do you keep looking at your palms?"

Schumann asked curiously.

——He couldn’t see the curve of Shen Ye’s hand.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something - okay, now let's complete the deal."

Shen Ye placed the cards on the table.

Schumann then placed the long knife on the table.

The two exchanged.

Shen Ye glanced at the long sword.

no problem.

This Schumann was finally willing to trade the real sword!
He released his hand from the cards and pressed down on the long knife.

Schumann also loosened his grip on the long sword and picked up the card.

——The deal is done.

Schumann picked up the card and looked at it carefully, then suddenly smiled:
"I don't know your name yet."

"Page, Baxter Page." Shen Ye said.

"Baxter, thank you for this card. I will join the White Night Cage. When I become a White Night Cage, my strength will increase greatly, and my status will be completely different from that of slaves like you."

He stood up and suddenly burst into a playful laugh, his body swaying back and forth:
"When that time comes, I will come back to take back this powerful and noble sword!"

"If you don't give it to me, I'll eat you!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

He stepped back, sank into the void and disappeared.

Only Shen Ye was left standing there.

Shen Ye's expression remained unchanged. He picked up the long sword and looked at it.

Lines of dimly glowing small characters quickly emerged, revealing the attributes of the long sword named "Night Ghost".

——It’s indeed a good knife.

But it can be better.

"Fusion!"

Shen Ye whispered.

Lines of dim words quickly appeared:
"You activated the primitive term 'Bloodsucking Lord'."

"Currently, the fusion of the long sword of truth 'Night Ghost' and the artifact 'Spring Rain' begins."

"Congratulations."

"This fusion has produced super evolution."

"You have obtained a brand new sword of truth:"

"Night Rain."

"Truth Level Two."

"Description: It carries the second-level creation of truth, 'rain'. Everything 'in the rain' will be cut by the long sword and cannot be avoided."

"Suppress weapons and armor of level 1 and below of Truth;"

"Suppress those beings who have not reached the first level of truth;"

"Causes normal damage to a second-order existence of truth."

The advanced manifestation of Dharmadhatu is the creation of truth!

This sword directly has the power of "rain", which is already very powerful.

Shen Ye only has the power of controlling truth, and this is the first time he has obtained a weapon of truth.

The destructive power of this "Night Rain" knife is like a timely rain, which can just solve Shen Ye's urgent problem.

"Good knife..."

He held the simple long knife in his hand and couldn't help but utter a heartfelt admiration.

the other side.

It is still this sea of ​​truth.

The depths of the sea.

A grand and elaborate sacrificial ceremony is taking place.

Dozens of monsters from the White Night Cage are constantly swimming under the sea.

They place various treasures in fixed positions, activate them, and allow them to release powerful fluctuations of truth.

It took seven days and seven nights.

The entire ceremony has reached the most critical moment.

"Sacrifice."

The priest who presided over the ceremony ordered.

All kinds of bizarre creatures of truth were released.

They wanted to escape, but were trapped in this sea of ​​truth, and all their strength was drained away.

at last.

That moment has come.

The priest said solemnly:

"O great being who rules over everything in the endless ocean of truth!"

"You are the ineffable being that has reached the seventeenth level of truth. You are the ultimate being whose majesty shines over all creations. You are the Supreme Being that all beings that prostrate themselves before the truth must worship."

"Please come here!"

The words fell.

The entire sacrificial mandala radiates brilliant light.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

A huge and majestic black shadow emerged from the depths of the sea and descended here.

As soon as it appeared, the entire sea of ​​truth seemed to be frozen.

——However, the black shadow did not actually do anything.

It simply descended upon this place, and it caused all power and existence to fall into a state of repressed stagnation.

next moment.

An extremely loud voice resounded in the ears of all the monsters in the daytime:

"The sacrifice lasted for 1.8 billion years, with a total of 150 billion creatures of truth..."

“It’s thoughtful.”

"Next time, if you come to offer sacrifice again, you can tell the name of your master."

The words fell.

Everything is back to normal.

The huge black shadow disappeared in an instant.

The White Night monsters were overjoyed and burst into cheers.

"Finally agreed—"

"We succeeded! This time we really succeeded!"

"Hurry, go back and tell the great master!"

"The master will surely reward us well—"

"go!"

For an instant.

All the monsters disappeared.

The deep sea returned to silence.

Only those high-level creations of truth are still floating here.

As sacrifices, their souls and strength have been drained away, and only an empty shell remains.

But at this moment——

Something happened that no one expected.

In the deep sea.

A slight wave spread out like ripples.

The vampire king Schumann quietly appeared in this sea area.

"Hahaha--"

"Sure enough, he left that ship!"

He rubbed his hands excitedly and looked around.

"It feels so good to be free, but I don't know where the person who will guide me is."

"I want to transform into a White Night-type being as soon as possible!"

Waited for a breath.

A surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"So fast?"

quick?
"Of course, I can't wait." The vampire king Schumann said respectfully.

"Have you qualified in advance and been waiting for this moment?" the voice asked.

The vampire king Schumann knew that this was arranged by the upper-level monsters of the White Night.

——But that guy was not sensible and traded the cards to himself.

Then, the opportunity is yours.

No one had anything to say.

——But your attitude must be good!
Be humble!
"Great Being, I obtained the qualification from Baxter Page--"

“This is indeed my wish!”

“I am honored by this!”

The vampire king Shuman said in a very sincere tone.

There was a moment of silence.

"Are you volunteering?" the voice asked in surprise.

"Yes!" A sincere look appeared on Schumann's face, and he even bowed gracefully.

"Rare...very rare..."

"That name you said was Baxter?" the voice asked.

"Yes," said Schumann.

"Baxter Page? Are you sure that's the name?"

"Sure!"

next moment.

The voice gradually grew louder and filled the entire ocean of truth. It spoke in a tone full of majesty and solemnity:

"All right--"

"Your continuous dedication over such a long period of time has enabled me to make the final decision."

"—I will bless the bearer of this name."
