Chapter 592: 352

For quite a while,

the bar had regained its original atmosphere.

Shen Ye glanced at the small box on the table, knowing it would be bad to open it here, and with a flip of his hand, he stowed it away in his spatial ring.

Now, he finally had time to think about advancing his gate power.

“This drink is on me,”

he said, placing the strong liquor in front of the bartender, then picked up the orange juice and took a sip, ready to concentrate on studying his gate power, but then he heard a horrific scream.

...

“Aaaaahhhh—”

The scream was filled with terror and hysteria.

The music in the bar stopped.

Everyone looked towards the direction of the bar’s entrance.

A stumbling drunk was holding onto the door handle, apparently about to leave, but now he stood motionless.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!——”

He let out continuous, unconscious cries.

An impatient Undead went up to pat him on the back, saying loudly,

“Damn it, Old Henry, have you gone mad!”

Old Henry opened his mouth wide, no longer making any sound, but pointed out the door.

Outside?

The Undead pushed him aside and stood at the doorway, looking out.

“Aaaaahhhh—”

He too let out a scream of fear.

Now nobody could stay seated.

Shen Ye had to interrupt his thoughts and strode to the front of the bar, looking outside.

Outside,

the entire Blood Rot Town had vanished.

As if searching for something—

All buildings had been razed to ground level, and the earth dug up three feet deep, leaving pits and holes.

All the Undead had been slaughtered, their corpses piled up into a small hill not far from the bar in the square.

Only this bar remained unscathed.

Only the people in the bar were still alive.

Some people ran out of the bar as if they were mad, shouting several names.

Even the bartender jumped out from behind the bar, tumbling and crawling out.

The entire bar was now empty.

Only Shen Ye remained standing there, listening to the eerie screams outside, slowly turning around to return to his seat at the bar.

“I underestimated them…”

Shen Ye muttered to himself.

It was a close call.

If he had tried any other method, he likely could not have escaped, and a battle would have been inevitable.

He was lucky to have relied on his dependable Diva identity.

— It seemed that even in the higher universe, this identity was useful.

After a moment of silence,

Shen Ye regained his composure and began to think about his gate power again.

Which gate power was a better match for the remaining strength of the Dimensional Gate?

“Temporal Fluid” is related to time;

“Unique Gateway” bestows gate powers to various gates in the world;

“Stellar Shift” marks new teleportation points.

Dimension…

In reality, he mainly used it to travel through time and space.

“Unique Gateway” eliminated.

Comparing “Temporal Fluid” and “Stellar Shift”, one involves time, the other space.

Both match the nature of dimensions.

But the truly valuable thing in the Dimensional Gate is returning to some specific point in the past!

“Channel the remnants of ‘Dimensional Gate’ into ‘Temporal Fluid’.”

Shen Ye recited silently.

Small glowing letters swiftly appeared:

“Channeling in progress, evolution requires time: five minutes.”

Five minutes.

That’s quite fast.

Then suddenly, a series of spatial fluctuations emanated from outside the bar.

Shen Ye saw a group of fully-armed Undead Soldiers dropping from mid-air and quickly forming a battle formation.

——It seems Eternal Night City received the message.

But those enemies have already run off.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, silently watching the void.

Gate power is too hard to evolve.

For the moment, “Temporal Fluid” has evolved, but the improvement of the remaining two gate powers is uncertain and might take who knows how long.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but sigh.

A group of Undead Soldiers burst into the tavern and looked around.

“Mr. Baxter! What brings you here as well?”

The lead Undead Officer asked in surprise.

“Just happened to stop by on my travels,” Shen Ye said succinctly.

“Thank goodness you stayed in the tavern, it’s really a stroke of luck,” sighed the Undead Officer.

“Yes, a stroke of luck indeed,” Shen Ye agreed.

“Then please wait a moment, we’ll gather all the survivors and then come to ask you to— return to Eternal Night City with them.”

“Alright, thank you for the trouble.”

The Undead Officer turned and left the tavern.

Shen Ye took a sip of orange juice, silently waiting for the five minutes to end.

Yes.

Opening a Teleportation Array is expensive, and it would be more efficient and energy-saving to transport everyone back to Eternal Night City together.

His mind drifted as he thought.

Suddenly.

An Aurora of light flashed through his mind.

Shen Ye froze, suddenly slapped the table, and stood up.

That’s not right!

If I only improved “Temporal Fluid,” the change in my combat power shouldn’t be too noticeable.

Why not advance “Unique Gateway” and “Stellar Shift” at the same time?

“Unique Gateway” and “Stellar Shift” are both gate powers!

For abilities of the same category, I could——

A term was quickly summoned by him.

“You have activated the ‘child’ level Dark Gold Entry ‘Vampire Kiddo’.”

“Are you sure you want to fuse ‘Unique Gateway’ and ‘Stellar Shift’?”

“I’m sure,” Shen Ye declared.

“Fusing now.”

“With the strength of the ‘child’ level Dark Gold Entry, the two rare gate powers are fused together, resulting in a Super Evolution.”

“Congratulations.”

“You have acquired a brand-new gate power:”

“Seal Gate.”

“Description:”

“1. Open a gate leading to a random Seal Land among the multiple universes.”

“2. Mark this Seal Land to return next time (without a mark, the gate will open randomly next time and won’t reach the same Seal Land again).”

“——This is an extremely dangerous gate, so you can close it at any time through your thoughts.”

There we go!

This is quite amazing!

Just the words “leading to multiple universes” are worth the ticket price!

Suddenly a few lines of tiny, glowing text appeared:

“Congratulations.”

“Your ‘Temporal Fluid’ has absorbed the residual power of the ‘Dimensional Gate,’ and it is now fully evolved.”

“Tide of Time:”

“Description: When you open a gate, you can freeze time on one side while everything flows normally on the other side.”

“This ability lasts for 3 seconds.”

“After each use, you cannot activate it again within 3 seconds (time is measured relative to you).”

“——A special power of the space-time domain, a hidden class rule, a force of the Two Realms Gate unseen by all beings.”

The ability is still 3 seconds!

But the cooldown has changed.

Previously, “Temporal Fluid” needed a week to cool down.

Now, just 3 seconds!

Shen Ye rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Great.

I’ve finally traded my old musket for a cannon!
