Chapter 1372 - 589: Pale World and Eternal Poem

He found himself standing in an abandoned building made entirely of gravel.

The ground was littered with strangely shaped corpses.

Under the pale light, he could see a wooden table not far away.

A skeleton lay sprawled on the table.

...the corpse of a human.

"Humans have been here?"

Shen Ye asked.

"This is the mission of the Human Race, Shen Ye," Xu Xingke replied.

"How so?" Shen Ye asked.

"If humans possess powerful Laws, combined with Eternal Power, they can stand firm in the Myriad Realms."

"But the Laws are monopolized by those ancient and powerful species, denying our use."

"So, we need the ’Pale’ Laws more than any species!"

Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye nodded in agreement.

The teacher was right.

Looking at the setbacks I faced everywhere, paying various costs, you could tell how much humans needed a Law.

"I— the Taro Advance Team I dispatched has been trying to establish a stronghold here."

"Due to the fierce battle between the Destruction Camp and our world, our world was obliterated, leaving us unable to focus here."

Xu Xingke continued.

Shen Ye sighed:

"I didn’t expect to come here now."

Suddenly.

The rustling sound stopped.

A humanoid shadow flew over, drawing a long blade, chopping toward Shen Ye.

Shen Ye stood unmoving.

Clang—

The sound of blade ringing.

The humanoid shadow was split into seven or eight pieces by the vague blade glow, falling to the ground.

"It’s a Shadow Guard—"

"It’s one of the monsters’ defense techniques, it can create a guard corresponding to your profession, coming to kill you."

Xu Xingke explained.

"I killed it." Shen Ye said.

"So the monsters will come quickly."

Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye glanced at the pale torch in his hand.

—This light is not bright enough to illuminate far, only the nearest things are clear.

If the enemy launches a long-range attack—

With the cover of that ’Dark Realm Sealing Technique’, I’d be very passive.

"What kind of monster?" Shen Ye asked.

"The master of the Shadow Guard is a kind of fodder soldier, kill that fodder soldier, you must immediately hide from this area, lest you be besieged." Xu Xingke said.

Besiegement.

That’s right.

The Pale World already totally belongs to the monsters.

Being alone, if caught in a siege, it’s a dead end, isn’t it?

"—Teleport me over to help, Shen Ye."

Xu Xingke’s voice rang again.

Shen Ye snapped back to reality.

"No, teacher, wait, the torch’s light isn’t bright enough—I’ll think of something first."

He placed the pale torch on the ground.

What a joke!

Rely on the teacher to deal with fodder soldiers?

I’ve been a waste then?

Shen Ye activated the Myriad Realms entry ’Detachment’, building a sentry on the torch to observe the surroundings.

After completing this, he took a few steps back, pressing the wall.

"Gate."

The Gate of Spirit Communication quietly appeared.

A line of faint glowing text emerged:

"Currently, Pale World and Nightmare World are ’adjacent’."

"You are the Gatekeeper of the Truth World."

"Thus you can return to the Nightmare World through the gate."

Shen Ye pushed the gate open and entered.

He returned to Nightmare World, casually found a wall in a human park, opened a gate, and stepped out.

Waiting—

Shen Ye leaned against the wall, quietly waiting for the monsters from the Pale World.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Suddenly—

The sentry on the torch detected some movement.

After a few more breaths.

A six-legged humanoid monster with black muscles crawled near.

It stopped by the torch, looking around confused.

It’s the moment!

Shen Ye directly turned the gate, gazing at the monster.

The monster immediately turned its head, meeting his gaze.

"Oh no!"

Shen Ye exclaimed in panic, closing the gate, and immediately peeled and ate a banana.

The monster didn’t hesitate, rushed straight forward, and crashed through the gate—

Thud.

It landed on Earth.

"Finish it."

Shen Ye said, eating a banana.

Uncle Qi descended from the Dharma Aspect, grabbing the monster’s head, regardless of its wild struggle, chanting the spell—

The monster screamed miserably, its flesh and bones flew onto an indistinct altar, all sacrificed.

—Only leaving a piece of meat.

"Not much to it."

Uncle Qi handed the piece of meat to Shen Ye.

"This thing is just a fodder soldier, its disappearance will attract more monsters." Shen Ye said.

"I see— but why are you eating a banana?" Uncle Qi asked.

"I haven’t eaten in ages, nearly fainted from hunger." Shen Ye replied.

"Health isn’t a joke, next time I’ll urge you to have breakfast." Uncle Qi said.

"Thank you, Uncle Qi."

Shen Ye tossed the banana peel into the trash, pushed the gate again, arriving at the Pale World.

—Thankfully, I’m the Gatekeeper.

And with entries like ’Detachment’ from the Myriad Realms.

Teleportation Technique isn’t this convenient.

Can’t kill monsters either.

Shen Ye took the pale torch, immediately running toward the ruins’ exit.

But passing by the human skeleton, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Teacher!"

Shen Ye abruptly stopped, took out Tarot Cards, calling out.

"I’m here— how are things over there?" Xu Xingke’s concerned voice emerged from the Tarot Cards.

"Fodder soldier’s killed, I’m preparing to run."

"Quickly run, don’t get surrounded by the fodder soldiers group, that would be troublesome."

"But teacher, there’s a human skeleton here— is he one of ours?" Shen Ye asked.

Xu Xingke’s voice carried regret:

"Back then, I had to sit in the Eternal World, battling the Destruction Camp."

"And many powerful Cards in the ’Eternal Mission’ deck were devoted to expanding the Pale World."
