Chapter 291: Chapter 272: His Majesty the King! (Double-length chapter combined)

So—

Does the Shadow Brotherhood have a connection with Chaotic Heaven Gate?

Come on, those are two different worlds!

Could it be that the Brotherhood is the legacy of Chaotic Heaven Gate in the Nightmare World?

Shen Ye suddenly realized.

That’s right…

The Nightmare World and the Main World are actually one and the same.

So long ago, there were strong beings from Chaotic Heaven Gate in the Nightmare World, fighting with the Broad Cold Holy Relic, hence it was documented and passed down to this day.

It makes logical sense!

Yes, that must be it!

As for the Shadow Brotherhood—

This organization is under the command of Prince Norton, and Norton is the last of the demigod bloodlines.

About the Dusk Shortsword, maybe he knows something!

But let’s ask the Underworld Lord first; after all, he is a Divine Spirit.

“If I really am Saint Peiqi— but I still have one question,” Shen Ye said.

“Speak,” Miket Tikaxiwa said.

“Are there people from Chaotic Heaven Gate in the Nightmare World? Or during your battle with the ‘Five Desires’, was there anyone with a mysterious identity providing you assistance?”

Miket Tikaxiwa paused for a moment and then answered:

“During our battle with the ‘Five Desires’, there was once a voice that guided us, stabilizing the situation for a time,” Miket Tikaxiwa said.

Shen Ye’s heart jolted, he quickly asked:

“A voice?”

“Yes, just a voice—we didn’t know what it was exactly, but eventually its methods became too unimaginable, and we didn’t accept them, so it disappeared,” Miket Tikaxiwa explained.

Hold on.

This world’s voice—

Could it be the same one that told me about gate power, the one that gave me the Dusk Shortsword?

What exactly is it?

“What method did it suggest?” Shen Ye asked.

“It suggested we extract the world’s essence and sacrifice it to it—doesn’t that sound like a trap?”

Shen Ye and the Skeleton both nodded in agreement.

“It was at the most intense moment of the war, so we dared not trust it,” Miket Tikaxiwa said with self-mockery.

“And now?” Shen Ye asked.

“After our defeat, countless Divine Spirits were destroyed, and I fled to Hell, where I quietly reflected for a while and gradually recalled many details. That’s when I started to think perhaps it merely needed energy,” Miket Tikaxiwa said.

Shen Ye held his breath.

It matched up.

Yes.

That voice had also told me it was about to fall into slumber.

“Is there a way to find it?”

Shen Ye asked.

“Only Earth Mother knows some news about it.”

“Earth Mother?”

“The only surviving Divine Spirit is Earth Mother, but she is on the verge of collapse. Now she doesn’t trust anyone, only the Earth Gold Seal can gain her trust,” Miket Tikaxiwa said.

Miket Tikaxiwa suddenly asked, “Shen Ye, I need your help, and you may also borrow my power. How about we fight side by side?”

“That would be great, but my strength is a bit lacking,” Shen Ye said honestly.

Miket Tikaxiwa nodded and then shook his head:

“Shen Ye, you had already gained my recognition before, but now upon seeing you again, you have acquired a very powerful ‘name’. I don’t know how you’ve managed to gain such recognition from the Dharma Realm—but to be honest, this ‘name’ greatly boosts my confidence.”

Name.

He was referring to Master Wei.

A Mythical Level term.

I was actually seeing it for the first time myself.

The Underworld Lord’s reaction was just like my teacher’s; they both thought this name was indeed powerful.

If it was that strong…

An idea suddenly came to Shen Ye’s mind.

—Maybe I should change the focus of my actions in the future and fully upgrade this Mythical term?

The Mythical term should have reached its peak, right?

Is there an even stronger term?

…I’m a bit curious.

The Underworld Lord didn’t know he was thinking about evolving the Mythical term and continued:

“Now we need to do something—”

“Go to the Holy Bruno City in the Human Empire, and in the rare collection of the Royal Collection Room, search for the ancient book called ‘Era Prediction’, and take out the Earth Gold Seal from the lining of the book’s cover.”

“Go ahead.”

“Once you have the Gold Medal in hand, the messenger of Earth Mother will appear and she will lead you to Earth Mother.”

“—Now, I shall become a part of your Dharma Aspect.”

Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa finished speaking, and suddenly a skeletal hand appeared in the void, touching Shen Ye’s forehead with a point, then disappeared from in front of them both.

Shen Ye and the Skeleton didn’t react for a moment.

“Did you understand all that?”

The Skeleton asked.

“I recorded it—hold on, what’s that in your hand?” Shen Ye said.

The Skeleton looked down.

In its bony claw was a faintly glowing skeleton bone.

“Divine Bone… this is Mother’s recognition of me, with it, I can evolve to a higher level,” the Skeleton said excitedly.

“That’s good, it looks like your mother still takes good care of you,” Shen Ye said.

At last, some truths had been revealed.

If it’s about finding the Earth Mother…

I once met the Centaur Carola at the Thunder Fortress of the beastmen.

She is the messenger of Earth Mother.

Someone I know.

This time, if I find the Earth Gold Seal, I should be able to see her.

As Shen Ye was contemplating the next steps, he suddenly saw his own gate quietly emerge from the void.

Huh?

How did it come out on its own?

“Look,” the Skeleton said excitedly.

Shen Ye carefully observed and also noticed the door had suddenly changed.

Atop the gate, etchings of various golden Runes appeared, forming two pointers, one pointing to recently formed gold words: “Mother of Dark Skeletons, King of Ghouls, the defeated Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa.”

As for the other pointer, it pointed to a line of small letters glowing with white light:

“The human who overcame the King of Ten Thousand Fallen Evil Spirits’ Curse, the gatekeeper of Nightmare and reality, Shen Ye.”
