Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

The Puppet muttered to itself while staring at Shen Ye and took slow, deliberate steps towards him.

It made its way through the crowd, and finally, it stood before Shen Ye.

"You are... the Baron recognized by our lord..."

"That's right."

Shen Ye had been standing for quite a while, and nobody had offered him a drink, lit him a cigarette, or even given him a cupcake. He was getting rather irritated.

At this moment, he understood many things and also grasped his teacher's profound intentions.

Religious matters should be solved with religious means.

After all, the creator wasn't far from here.

If mishandled, who knows what troubles might arise.

"What are you all gathering here for?"

Shen Ye asked with a grimace.

"We are about to launch an attack to seize the World Government Building and declare our lord's power and dignity to the whole world," the Referee said.

"What are you doing, bringing trouble to the lord by creating enemies for no reason?" Shen Ye asked.

The crowd exchanged glances, perplexed.

Shen Ye continued:

"Our lord's power and dignity don't need you to announce it. You should just do your jobs honestly and not engage in these fanciful, thankless endeavors."

"How can offerings and sacrifices be considered fanciful and thankless?" the Referee asked coldly.

"Terrorism breeds hatred."

Shen Ye patiently explained, "In this world, how many heads do you have for people to chop off? Once you fight to the death, who will serve our lord?"

"Just stop it all."

"What if we don't stop?" the Referee asked.

"Then I'll wipe you all out," Shen Ye said with a smile.

"With just you? The fourth level of the Law Realm?" the Referee chuckled dismissively.

"Jianghu isn't just about fighting and killing. It's also about interpersonal relationships. Look at this."

Shen Ye pinned the "King" badge on his chest.

King!

Any King is among the top powerhouses of the Human Race.

If a person reaches the Eightfold Dharmakaya and is acknowledged as a King, it is only normal.

However,

if someone with only the fourth layer of the Law Realm is recognized as a King...

That is what's truly terrifying.

You wouldn't know what means he possesses, or why he has been forcefully designated as someone who could influence the world.

Seeing everyone growing apprehensive, the Referee said, bracing himself:

"This badge might be fake for all we know."

With his hands in his pockets, Shen Ye stood motionless in the center of the dance floor, but behind him, an enormous crimson eye whirling madly appeared.

"Do you really want to try? Although it may displease her, if all underlings are reckless fools, she would probably be even less pleased," said Shen Ye.

A powerful cosmic force radiated from him.

This was the Strength stored by a king species.

This force was not something mortals could withstand.

Everyone was frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

Should I take advantage of this situation?

No.

These guys are too weak; they are not worth calling upon the Four Kings.

Shen Ye dismissed the thought.

"I have just one question," the Referee said, his voice hoarse.

Good.

He was giving himself an out.

He didn't want to kill them arbitrarily and risk upsetting that entity.

"Ask," Shen Ye said.

"How did you get our lord to promote you and become a Baron?" the Referee asked.

Shen Ye started laughing.

That question sparked a fervor in the eyes of all the Cultists.

Indeed.

Why was he recognized by the lord as a Baron?

"Well, I can tell you that, and I hope you all do it, for this is the true way to please our lord."

"First, you must sincerely wish for our lord to be free from entrapment."

"Then, destroy two planets and offer them up to our lord."

"Lastly, eliminate the World Spirit as well, and offer its body and spirit to our lord."

"That will do."

The whole room fell silent.

Shen Ye retracted the Dharma Aspect of Destiny's End and walked towards the exit.

"Since you've all gathered here, why not have a dance party?"

"You can have fun, but don't make trouble or break the public order regulations."

"That's all."

"Bye."

Shen Ye turned and walked out of the nightclub.

No one stopped him.
