Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 509: Truth and Compatibility!
Shen Ye felt very strange.

I have come into contact with the Truth Mine before.

But I didn't have much information at the time, and with the intrusion of various things in reality, I never thought carefully about what the Truth Mine was.

but.

This time.

I have to stay in the underground mining area of ​​this land of truth for a full 24 hours.

Time becomes more abundant.

Shen Ye sat in the dark, with his back against the hard, cold stone wall, and even had time to carefully observe the rocks around him.

I've never felt this way before -

Everything seemed to slow down.

All kinds of random questions kept flashing through my mind.

"Su Su said they woke up here."

"——They clearly look like humans. What is the difference between creatures and humans?"

"I don't know if we can grow some crops in the Land of Truth."

“Is there any oil here?”

"What did the cat and dog find when they suddenly came back last time?"

"and many more--"

a moment.

Shen Ye finally thought of the problem.

“Even my guide to truth was dug out from the ground.”

"This is indeed a mine tunnel..."

"So."

"Who established the mine here and mined the ore?"

Shen Ye wanted to ask Su Su.

Su Su had fallen into a deep sleep.

Ask about cats and dogs?
The cat and the dog were summoned and asked a few questions by Shen Ye. Both the cat and the dog looked confused.

The bronze man also remained silent.

——They don’t seem to know the answer either.

Fortunately, Shen Ye was not in a hurry to know these things.

All he had to do now was to stay in a safe place and wait for time to pass.

etc--

The cat and dog suddenly ran out, sniffed at a piece of ore, then turned around and barked at Shen Ye a few times.

The shimmer appeared in small letters:
"Your Creation of Truth, 'Cat and Dog', suggests that you summon the Mining Arsenal to mine that area."

Shen Ye shook his head repeatedly.

——The noise made by mining robots is too loud.

I don’t know what dangers it will bring.

"I came here to avoid risks, so ensuring safety is the most important thing. Mining can be put off until later."

Shen Ye said seriously.

Cats and dogs understood.

It slowly felt its way along the mine wall, as if looking for something.

The bronze man also understood.

The cat and dog didn't know what they were looking for, so they just stayed in front of Shen Ye, acting as bodyguards.

——The bronze man has the ability to “guard the house”.

When Shen Ye felt bored, it even took out a novel and handed it to him so that Shen Ye could entertain himself.

The title of the book is "The End of All Realms Online: White Tiger War Chronicles", a novel by Tongren.

It turns out to be fan fiction!
Shen Ye turned the page and read the contents.

Tsk tsk.

You look honest and simple, but I didn't expect that you do this.

Shen Ye had nothing else to do at the moment, so he just started reading the novel.

after awhile.

The cat and dog ran back and gently placed their paws on Shen Ye's legs.

"Let me through?"

"Wang Wang!"

Ok……

Shen Ye stood up and followed the cat and dog into the depths of darkness.

soon.

The cat and dog stopped just before a rock.

Shen Ye looked at the stone and shrugged.
“It’s just a piece of stone.”

The dog's head among the cat and dog swung over, raised its paw, and made a vertical chopping motion towards the stone.

Shen Ye immediately understood.

The cat's ability is agile hunting, mainly fighting.

The dog's ability is to scout and search for minerals.

Since the dog said so—

Shen Ye drew out his knife and cut lightly on the stone.

Click.

A soft sound.

The stone split open, revealing a glittering object inside.

gem?

Shen Ye waved his hand and the thing immediately flew into his hand.

It is indeed a sapphire.

There are also natural patterns on the gem. These beautiful patterns crisscross and emit a dim light, forming a word on the surface of the stone.

I can vaguely see...

It’s the word “hang”.

"..." Shen Ye was speechless.

Is this really a natural gemstone?

Fortunately, lines of small, glimmering words quickly appeared next to the stone, explaining:
"Congratulations."

"You have obtained the Gem of Truth: Hang."

"Eighteenth level of truth."

"Small pieces, consumable, for one-time use."

“Description: When you say a job, you will act as a person doing this job, doing things step by step, like a dedicated machine.”

“——That’s what it’s like to hang up!”

Interesting stuff!
Cat and dog found such a piece of ore for themselves...

Do you want to help yourself avoid danger?
It has reached the eighteenth level of truth, and it can definitely deceive many beings.

Why not give it a try!

Shen Ye hesitated for a moment and said:

"The stone in the mine thinks about life here every day, from morning to night. This is its job."

Before he finished speaking, the faint light showed small words:

"You name a job that belongs to the stones in the mines, and you will be the stone that does that job."

Just heard a "bang".

Shen Ye turned into a piece of ore and fell to the ground, mixing with other stones.

There was silence for a moment.

"I turned to stone?"

The stones made an incredible buzzing sound.

Cat and dog nodded.

Shitou became excited and shouted, "This Mineral Field is really full of treasures. There are even such unique things!"

The bronze man nodded.

The stone continued to shout:

"Just think, as long as I can still find this gem, I can impersonate almost any being!"

The cat, dog and bronze man nodded together.

"Okay, I'm going to change back now." said Stone.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

"...Do you know any way to change me back?" Stone asked.

The cat, dog and bronze man all shook their heads.

Dead silence.

The stone fell into a long silence.

Careless.

This is definitely carelessness.

Stone glanced into the void, and saw lines of tiny, dim words floating in the air:

"You're hanging up."

"On hang up."

"On hold..."

No.

Although this method of hanging up can indeed help you avoid danger, you can't be a stone for the rest of your life!

Find a solution quickly!
Stone was thinking silently, but he saw the bronze man looking around and knocking on the ground hurriedly.

——Something is coming!
Shitou immediately performed the "Meet under the Moon at Yaotai" technique and took the cat, dog and bronze man into his own Dharma image.

The mining area suddenly became quiet.

A few more breaths passed.

A dark shadow came flying from the other end of the mine.

This is an existence that Stone has never seen before.

It is as tall as a person and about thirty meters long. It looks a bit like a giant worm, but there are undulating bone peaks on its back. On each bone peak there is a human head, looking left and right, as if looking for food.

Despite having so many human heads on its back, the worm itself had no eyes or nose on its head, only a big mouth full of sharp black teeth.

Several lines of small, glimmering words appeared next to the monster:
"Soul-sucking bone-binding devil worm."

"A fourteenth-order creation of truth."

"describe:???"

"——Its combat form is extremely terrifying, you definitely don't want to know."

Shi Tou stared blankly, and then remained in an absolute "hang-up" state, no longer making any sound.

The monster climbed the stone wall freely, stopping from time to time and spitting out its tongue.

The human head on its back looked around.

Is it foraging for food? Or is it looking for something else?
do not know.

It was not until seven or eight minutes later that the monster slowly left the area and crawled towards the mine tunnel on the left.

Another two or three minutes passed.

Shitou finally let out a breath and murmured in a low voice:

"Scared me."

What's next?
...Think of a solution. I can't face everyone like a stone in 24 hours.

Hello.

I am the Duke of Stone.

I'm on AFK.

If you are a brother, come and chop me twice.

stop!
Absolutely not.

——We must find a solution!
Just as Shitou was about to move, he saw the void move, and lines of dim words appeared:

"There are six people in total, teleported here from the End Castle."

"You are currently aware of this and have not taken any action."

"3,"

"2,"

"1!"

"Transmission successful."

The power of space fluctuations gradually emerges.

Several people emerged from the darkness.

"arrive?"

"Yes, here we are."

"This is the best chance, that ship won't be here - we can lay siege to him!"

"First we need to find him."

"Tsk, all the wealth of the two dukes, brothers, success or failure depends on this."

"That's right!"

Several people whispered.

The stones on the ground were stunned.

Are you here to hunt me down?

——In such a scary place?

Shitou simply stopped moving and just lay on the ground, watching the developments quietly.

Unexpectedly, those people didn't say anything else.

They were well-trained and full of energy. They quickly formed a battle formation and crawled towards the low and narrow mine tunnel on the right.

The mine became quiet again.

dark.

Dead silence.

In theory, the stone can leave now and look for a way to break free of its form.

But the stone did not move. Maybe three breaths, maybe five breaths -

Sudden.

The stone released a blade light that was dozens of meters long, which slashed far away, causing an earth-shaking sound in the dark and quiet mine.

Boom! ! !
The mine pit and the mine tunnel were split open.

However, the force of this cut was just right and did not cause the entire mine tunnel to collapse.

It just made a huge noise.

After the stone was chopped by the sword, it buried itself in the stone pestle, as if it didn't want to appear in the world again.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Amid the clattering sound of rubble rolling around——

A terrifying worm that was tens of meters long flew back, clinging tightly to the rock wall, with all its heads turning around, frantically looking for the source of the movement.

next moment.

It seemed to have sensed something, and its body suddenly became invisible, restrained its breath, and stopped moving.

The other end of the mine tunnel.

The servants of destruction hurried back from the team.

"Was there anyone here just now?"

"Check it out."

"Battle formation ready!"

Several people were well-trained and divided the work.

but--

No matter how professional and powerful they are, it's too late.

The soul-sucking, bone-binding devil worm descended from the sky, opened its huge mouth, and ate the leading servant of destruction in one gulp.

"It's a monster!"

"kill!"

"Full force!"

The remaining servants of destruction unleash their strongest attack spells.

But no one's magic was released successfully.

They all froze in place.

Truth suppression, and as high as the fourteenth level of truth!
Under such powerful suppression, the servants of destruction were no longer able to move.

The soul-sucking bone-binding devil worm slowly moved, squirming its body, and walked in front of the servants of destruction one by one, then opened its mouth -

It ate everyone.

It stayed for a while, until it found that there was no new food, and then the soul-sucking and bone-binding demon worm left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

A few minutes later.

A cat and dog jumped out of the void, looked around, and made sure there was no safety issue around. Then they jumped onto the mine wall and ran in another direction away from the soul-sucking bone-binding demon worm.

It remembered the stone's advice:
"Go find another gem like this - the one with the word 'Hang' written on it."

The mine became quiet again.

But this silence was quickly broken.

A small emblem jumped out of the stone and made a sound:

"Your Majesty the Duke, Your Majesty the Duke?"

"I'm here." said Stone.

"How are you doing?" Brenna asked cautiously.

"That's good. I'm seriously checking whether there is any treasure here." Shi Tou coughed lightly and said in a deep voice.

"I'm really sorry, but I have to check on you every hour - that's the rule - otherwise I would never bother you," Brenna said.

"It doesn't matter. I see that it seems to have reached the 58th minute. I should have contacted you first." Shi Tou said.

"Then please continue your efforts. We will contact you again in an hour."

"Ok."

Communication ends.

The emblem returned to the stone and disappeared.

Shi Tou cursed a few dirty words in anger, then jumped into the air in dissatisfaction, confronting the being above the mine.

Yes.

The soul-sucking, bone-binding devil worm is back.

Its vigilance is indeed high, and its detection ability is really strong.

It sensed Brenna's voice as soon as it was heard.

——Finally, it discovered this unique stone.

The soul-sucking, bone-binding demon worm climbed on the top of the mine, peered down and stared at the dead stone, seeming a little confused.

The stone exudes a fierce sword intent.

The soul-sucking, bone-binding demon worm was naturally not willing to be outdone, and all the heads on its back chanted spells in unison.

Both sides are ready to go.

The battle will begin at any time!
However, Shitou suddenly shouted:

"Who is attacking from the dark?"

The soul-sucking and bone-binding demon insects also became alert.

Just because a big door suddenly appeared behind the stone.

The door opens automatically.

"I hate sneak attacks the most - wait for me here, I'll kill the sneak attacker first, then come back and fight you for three hundred rounds!"

Shitou let out a cry and rushed into the door with a fierce murderous intent.

The door closes.

The door is missing.

The soul-sucking and bone-binding demon insect waited for a moment and suddenly reacted.

All the heads on its back roared in anger.

——But it’s no use anymore.

The stone passed through the spiritual gate, crossed the long distance in an instant, and appeared where the cat and dog were.

"Woof?" the cat and dog barked.

"It's okay, just a small scene." Shi Tou explained calmly.

Swah——

The cats and dogs were collected by the stone.

next second.

The stone rolled down the rock wall and mixed with other pebbles.

all.

Restore peace.

Waited for two or three breaths.

A black shadow flashed through the mine tunnel in an instant and went farther away.

It's the soul-sucking, bone-binding demon insect!
Its strength is at the fourteenth level of truth.

The stone used by Shen Ye is even higher, reaching the eighteenth level of truth.

——The power of stone far exceeds it.

So it has no way of knowing where the stone is hidden.

In fact.

If the Emblem of the End had not suddenly appeared before, Brenna had a conversation with Shen Ye, and the soul-sucking bone-binding demon worm would not have been able to detect the existence of the stone at all!
Shi Tou stayed quiet for a while.

suddenly.

Again, lines of dim words popped up:
"There are thirteen people in total, teleported here from the Castle of the End."

"You are currently aware of this and have not taken any action."

"3,"

"2,"

"1--"

Shitou had completely understood by now, and suddenly exuded a will:
"They are transmitted one by one, and one arrives every minute."

The small words in the glimmering light changed:
"You are the gatekeeper between nightmares and reality."

"You do not allow others to travel freely into the 'world of truth' where reality (Earth) is located."

"The transmission has been completed as you requested."

Yes.

I can totally do this.

In the past, it was fine for you to enter the land of truth at will.

Now I start to keep the door!

In fact.

I can completely refuse them from entering this world.

But it's too obvious.

"Once Duke Baxter goes to the Land of Truth, no one else can teleport."

If this kind of talk gets out, it would be an admission of guilt.

So this is best for now.

The stone jumped up and hit the stone wall hard.

Boom!
There was a crisp sound.

In less than a breath, the soul-sucking and bone-binding demon worm appeared in the tunnel again.

At this moment, the void moved, and a servant of destruction appeared.

The man and the demon insect stared at each other.

"It's a monster!"

The servant of destruction roared and was eaten by the devil insect.

As the demon worm was chewing, the void moved again—

Another servant of destruction fell.

"It's a monster!"

The Servant of Destruction roared and was eaten by the demon worm.

As the demon worm was chewing, the void moved again—

Another servant of destruction fell.

"It's a monster!"

……

Thirteen in total.

The soul-sucking, bone-binding demon worm is too full.

It rolled lazily on the ground for a few times, then suddenly coiled up, causing all the heads to gather together and say in unison:
"I know you're nearby."

"It's thanks to you that I was able to have a full meal this time, so I can tell you--"

"When the power of the stone is exhausted, you will change back to normal."

"Yes, the 'Hanging' stone is very rare. Even with servants like cats and dogs, ordinary people will never be able to discover it."

“People can only discover treasures of truth that are consistent with or close to their own characteristics in the truth.”

“——This is affinity.”

"This is my thank you for the meal."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, the soul-sucking, bone-binding demon worm slowly crawled away.

In the tunnel.

Only the stones were left, lying quietly in the pile of stones.

Compatibility?
strangeness……

Why am I compatible with a treasure like "Gua"?

The Lun family has always worked very hard, okay?

There was a flash of void.

Cats and dogs reappeared.

Stone warned:
"Let's go find a treasure - any kind will do. After all, according to what the Soul-sucking Bone-binding Devil said, I can't find a gem that doesn't match my nature."

Cat and Dog nodded and headed in the opposite direction of the soul-sucking, bone-binding devil worm.

Another half hour passed.

It returned to the stone with a stone in its mouth.

Swah——

Stone splits stone.

I saw another gem inside.

But this gem is an emerald.

There are also natural patterns on the gem. These beautiful patterns crisscross and emit a dim light, forming two words on the surface of the stone.

I can vaguely see...

It is the word "moyu".

"..." Shen Ye was really speechless this time.

Is this really a natural gemstone?

So the "hanging" stone just now was attracted here because of the strong smell of work on me!
So, my elegant temperament as a corporate slave attracted the part-time worker Treasure of Truth?

Get out!

However, I saw lines of dim small words appearing quickly:
"Congratulations."

"You have obtained the Gem of Truth: Fishing."

"Eighteenth level of truth."

"Small pieces, consumable, for one-time use."

"Description: When you are doing a certain task, you can use this stone to withdraw from the task. No magic or power can stop you."

"——This is what slacking off is like!"

The stone was silent for a while, then knocked hard on the gem.

Bang!
The stone turned into Shen Ye.

It's back!

Fishing success!!!
