Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"During the examination, we were in the top three, probably because of this," Xiao Mengyu said.

But Shen Ye was thinking about something else.

According to the original teaching methods of the school, it typically involved attending large classes in the morning and then small classes with their assigned teachers in the afternoon.

However, educational reforms had taken place now.

—Directly switching to a group model for efficient, elite teaching!

Yet he didn't know who their group's teacher was.

As he pondered,

the three of them had already arrived at the Beyond Internet Cafe at the back door of the school.

A tall, burly man with an imposing appearance stood at the door of the internet cafe.

On his shoulder perched a green parrot.

Shen Ye was startled.

Mo Ga Ru!

What was he doing here?

Could it be—

"Let me see," the green parrot squawked shrilly, "Shen Ye, Nangong Sirui, Xiao Mengyu, very good. From now on, you will attend classes with me."

Nangong Sirui glanced at the green parrot, then back at Mo Ga Ru.

"No need to look," the green parrot squawked shrilly, "I'm practicing a special School of Method that doesn't suit speaking, so this telepathic parrot will speak for me!"

"—You may call me Teacher Moluo!"

Then it all became clear.

The three of them bowed together, "Greetings to Teacher Moluo."

Shen Ye looked at Mo Ga Ru with puzzlement.

Why?

Why would you condescend to be a teacher, sir?

Mo Ga Ru looked helplessly towards the interior of the internet cafe.

Shen Ye followed his gaze into the cafe.

He saw a frail girl squatting on a chair, typing furiously, her eyes fixed on the screen without moving.

Charlotte!

Diliya said she had awakened her memory!

—But why was she surfing the internet here?

Shen Ye sent his thoughts towards his Dharma Aspect.

Diliya was hiding inside a large box, which was tightly sealed without a single crevice showing.

She was hiding from the Nine Aspects!

Mo Ga Ru's voice sounded again:

"Because of our alliance, the data of this world is available to us."

"The Nine Aspects have become obsessed, like possessed, frantically searching the origins of various worlds, trying to discover some historical matters."

"You must not provoke it, it's not in the right state now."

Shen Ye then withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Charlotte.

But—

Why have you become a teacher?

"We need to establish our power anew, Baxter. That's why I'm here to personally select talents," Moluo explained.

That made sense.

Mo Ga Ru was different from the Nine Aspects.

He valued his subordinates, delegated many tasks to them, and thus completed a variety of matters more efficiently.

"Teacher Moluo, what are we learning today?" Shen Ye asked.

"Actual combat."

The green parrot spat out two words.

The next second,

an odd fluctuation enveloped Shen Ye, Nangong Sirui, and Xiao Mengyu.

"Do not resist, I will take you on a flight."

The words had barely left his lips.

Together with Mo Ga Ru, the three soared into the sky, swiftly crossing the entire city and flying toward the distant mountains.

About a dozen minutes later.

The four landed, standing on a narrow path between the mountain ridges.

"Teacher."

Nangong Sirui bowed and said, "According to the second chapter, sixth clause of the Professional rules, Professionals are not allowed to reveal their abilities at will in the secular world, as this would cause public panic and social unrest."

"That rule is nullified, from today onward, the general populace can know everything," Mo Ga Ru's parrot squawked.

Nangong Sirui was stunned for a moment before checking his phone.

"It's actually true..."

He muttered, dazed.

"Indeed, ordinary people should know more."

"This will gradually lead them to accept the truth so that if they suddenly face a great change, they can respond proactively and contribute their strength," the parrot on Mo Ga Ru's shoulder shrieked.

"Teacher Moluo, what is our mission?" asked Xiao Mengyu.

"Go south for about a dozen miles and you'll find a village where all the people have been killed and are being turned into food."

"An insect race quietly descended. They neither filed any report nor entered into negotiations and rudely slaughtered the entire village of humans, wishing to nest here."

"What you need to do is return the favor, kill them off."

"—As a warning to others."

The green-haired parrot spoke so vehemently that spit flew everywhere, but Mo Ga Ru's face showed an indifferent expression.

"Xiao Mengyu will be the scout, Nangong Sirui responsible for support, and Shen Ye will strike last."

"Begin the operation!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Mengyu took the lead, darting toward the southern path.

Nangong Sirui, with a painting fan in hand, followed leisurely.

Shen Ye was about to move too, but was stopped by Mo Ga Ru.

"Baxter!"

Mo Ga Ru communicated telepathically.

"My lord, I am here," Shen Ye stopped in his tracks.

"You may already know, the 'Five Desires' world is destroyed," Mo Ga Ru said.

"Yes, I am aware, my lord."

"What are your thoughts?"

"Whether the Five Desires exist or not, it won't stop us from living, my lord."

"Ha, you really are open-minded."

"The universe is too dangerous, my lord. While alive, why not enjoy each day? After all, when you're dead, you're dead."

"...Baxter, in fact, the 'Five Desires' was an immensely powerful prison, and our mission as strong beings was to guard the monsters inside the prison."

"The cage no longer exists, my lord."

"Are you persuading me? Baxter."

"My lord, the cage and the monsters are things of the past. You need to keep up with the times," Shen Ye advised.

Keep up with the times...

A glint of light flashed in Mo Ga Ru's eyes.

"How so? Keeping up with the times?"

"This planet is actually quite decent, not only has it passed the Axe of Genesis' test, but it also harbors mysteries like the Great Tomb—Why not settle here, my lord? You can cultivate while uncovering secrets, living a fulfilling life," Shen Ye said.

"That imprisoned monster..."

"With no more prison, where does my lord plan to catch it?"

"Sigh, you do have a point."

Mo Ga Ru sighed.

A label saying "Fully Convinced" suddenly popped above his head, followed by the duration:

12 hours.

That's settled then!

—Even a master like Mo Ga Ru couldn't resist the power of the "Gate"!
