Chapter 190: Chapter 180 The Man Who Missed Mythology Three Times in a Row!

```After countless schemes and a long passage of time, the final moment is finally upon us—

Having accidentally arrived and absorbed all the power of the sculpture, the ability of the "door" formed by the sculpture now belongs to me—

The Evil Gods' efforts have come to naught.

The Master of the Weeping Demon Prison won't let me off!

So, is there any way out?

Pah.

Let's get started!

Shen Ye skillfully invested attribute points into Strength, Agility, spiritual power, Comprehension, and Resonance.

Once again, he reached the critical point!

Everything around him became blurred, his soul started to ascend high into the sky, crossing the firmament, and headed towards that crimson "Human Face" planet.

In no time at all.

He was already hovering outside the planet.

A vast force flew out from the "Human Face" planet, circling around him.

Last time I was here, this didn't happen.

Could it be—

Shen Ye struggled slightly.

There's no turning back now!

A line of faint light appeared:

"You have been caught by an unknown Binding Technique!"

Not just that, the giant human face on the planet opened its eyes, staring at him.

"Who are you?"

That majestic, boundless voice echoed in his ears.

I'm done for!

At this critical moment, Shen Ye had some preparations.

The sculpture—

The Cursed Sculpture that killed Shen Ye was from The Skinner.

The one who wanted to reclaim the sculpture but ultimately found it impossible was the Master of the Weeping Demon Prison.

If this planet cares about that sculpture, then what does that make the Master of the Weeping Demon Prison?

The answer isn't hard to guess!

"I am the Destroyer of the great thousand worlds, servant to the Master of the Weeping Demon Prison, the Cursed Spirit King."

Shen Ye said aloud.

A majestic, boundless voice quickly responded:

"Where is the sculpture?"

—It only asked about the sculpture!

And it hasn't attacked!!!

A glimmer of hope emerged in Shen Ye's heart.

At this moment, his thoughts were racing, recalling countless things in a flash, and suddenly he remembered something.

The Skinner—

He killed people, many people, tens of thousands.

All crammed into a hotel.

The King of the Fallen Wicked Ghouls' Cursed Sculpture had absorbed the souls and lives of countless people.

The sculpture belongs to the Master of the Weeping Demon Prison!

Perhaps—

The actions of The Skinner were in accordance with the will of his Divine Spirit?

That's stating the obvious!

Even if I deduce with the utmost rigor, the likelihood of this conclusion is just too great!

"There is one last sacrifice remaining—"

"A sacrifice of about one hundred thousand people has not been completed; after it is finished tonight, it will be brought back."

Shen Ye spoke in a respectful tone.

At this moment.

He imagined himself as The Skinner!

"Why doesn't the Master of the Demon Prison come back personally?" the majestic, boundless voice asked.

"It is trying to seize the Divine Artifact of the world," Shen Ye responded.

—I can only take a gamble!

After all, the Master of the Weeping Demon Prison was indeed doing this for Song Qingyun.

I haven't lied!

"Divine Artifact, yes, the Divine Artifacts of that world are troublesome..." the majestic, boundless voice said.

I've survived.

Up to this point, I haven't been attacked!

As Shen Ye was thinking, lines of faint light began to appear in front of him:

"You have touched the threshold of the 'door' ability's advancement and are about to absorb the Power of the Magical Realm from the current planet, becoming a True Person."

"The current advancement requires approximately three minutes to complete the absorption of strength."

"After the advancement is complete, you will obtain a red (Mythical Level) entry."

"With this Mythical Level entry, cause the 'door' ability to achieve a breakthrough advancement."

"Begin!"

Here we are again!

This time...

Can I last three minutes?

"Come to my world so that I can ascertain your situation," the majestic voice said.

Shen Ye immediately dismissed the idea of acquiring the entry.

Pacifying such a high-level entity is no easy feat.

I've merely managed to stay alive for the moment.

Next—

If I were to get trapped inside its world, I might not even have a chance to escape.

Life is more important than an entry!

"Yes, please guide me to your world," Shen Ye replied.

The binding force on him loosened slightly.

An invisible force tugged at Shen Ye, moving him quickly forward.

"Door."

He muttered in his mind.

—Instantly, a door appeared in front of him, which he "smashed" through with a sound, and then both he and the door disappeared.

Nightmare World.

Human Territory.

Passageway.

The moment Shen Ye appeared, he immediately withdrew all his free attribute points.

Faint light quickly formed into small characters:

"You have withdrawn all your free attribute points."

"Currently, all your attributes have fallen to 19 points."

"You have lost the opportunity for this advancement."

"You have lost the opportunity to obtain a 'True Person' level entry."

—But that pulling force was still there!

It reached across the vast expanse of the universe and was still attached to Shen Ye, dragging him backwards—

Shen Ye struggled.

The force had become incredibly weak, but it still managed to bind him.

"Door." S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Shen Ye placed his hand behind him and uttered a word.

The door once again appeared behind him.

In an instant—

He smashed backwards with the force, breaking through the door, and immediately returned to the bedroom in the Main World.

The door vanished.

```

The strength in his body weakened.

——At this moment, it was as if it stretched from the universe to the Nightmare World, and then from the Nightmare World to the mortal realm in the Main World.

No matter how powerful it was, such an immense distance further diminished its strength!

"Ha!"

With a tug of his arms, Shen Ye instantly dispelled the force.

When he drew his hands back, the force bound him once again.

Compared to before, he was now able to move.

Should he try again?

"Gate!"

Shen Ye summoned a gate, stepped through, and found himself within the concealed pathways of the Nightmare World's battlefield.

This time, he chose to break out of the tunnel and fly through the night sky.

Enduring the not-so-strong binding force, he flew in one breath to the Undead Town.

He used the Teleportation Array to transport himself to the most remote city of the Undead Empire.

"Gate!"

He summoned the gate again and stepped back through.

This was equivalent to the force extending from the universe to the Nightmare World, then to the Main World, back to the Nightmare World, and finally returning to the Main World.

Long enough.

Shen Ye gave a gentle yet firm tug.

Snap.

The force dissipated completely.

——He had successfully broken free!

Suddenly, a mutation occurred——

In the void, specks of light emerged, rapidly gathering into small characters:

"Notice."

"This is the third time you've let a red (Mythical Level) entry slip away."

"If the first time was futile, the second time was by chance, then the third time signifies inevitability."

"You stand within the fate of 'failing to obtain Mythical Entries.'

"However, the power of fate always allows everything to rebound and fall back at the extreme, just like the ups and downs of life."

"Congratulations!"

"You have been awarded the 'Man Who Has Missed Mythical Honors Three Times in a Row' special honor entry."

"This honor entry will trigger a strong resonance power, maximally activating your 'Gate' skill."

"Would you like to consume this entry to launch a massive counterattack and claim the Mythical Entries you deserve?"

Do I even need to ask?

I risked so much for this very moment!

"Consume this entry!"

Shen Ye declared.

Before his words fell silent, he had an inkling and immediately looked up.

All the specks of light changed their hues and became completely blood-red — exactly the same color as the Mythical Entries!

These blood-colored lights gathered into small characters, floating before Shen Ye:

"Mythical Level Entry Mission ready."

"Mission activation condition: Advance the skills of Hun Tian Gate swiftly, so that 'Frosty Moon Shocking Sky,' 'Moonlight Divine Illumination,' 'Sudden Rain,' and 'Demon-slaying Frost Line' all reach the First Layer of the Law Domain."

Shen Ye read back and forth several times, slightly puzzled.

What's the deal with this mission?

Why must all the skills of Hun Tian Gate be advanced to the First Layer?

——But on second thought, it seems many things require strength to accomplish.

For example, if Frosty Moon Shocking Sky reaches the First Layer of the Law Domain, one can learn of the remnants left by the Hun Tian Gate.

If "Sudden Rain" also reaches the First Layer——

The Pupil Skill will be upgraded by one level.

In essence, even though I can't raise my Attribute Points, I can still improve my combat strength, right?

I need to increase my combat strength as soon as possible!

——Perhaps the condition for task activation is also hinting at this very thing.

The good news is——

Moonlight Divine Illumination and Thunder Shock Palm have reached the First Layer of the Law Domain.

The rest will need to be figured out and practiced by myself.

At that moment, the playing cards suddenly began to vibrate.

It was Zhang Xiaoyi.

"Hey, Shen Ye, I'm with Guo Yunye. Come online and join us!"

"What? You didn't go home?" Shen Ye asked.

Shen Ye felt as if he was in a dream, trying to reconcile the contrast between escaping from a planetary crisis and being called by a classmate to play a game.

"We don't have homes anymore! We're staying at school!" Zhang Xiaoyi said.

Shen Ye snapped back to reality, feeling a tinge of guilt.

He checked the time.

It was almost time to enter the Nightmare World.

There was no time to train anymore.

He opened his phone, logged on, and greeted Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye.

Both were orphans since their families were no more, so there was nowhere else to go.

At this very moment.

In an alley across the street from the World Museum.

An internet café.

On their table sat ice-cold colas, each person holding a bowl of instant noodles, eating and playing at the same time.

Zhang Xiaoyi's blond hair had been dyed red.

Guo Yunye was wearing a new pair of sneakers.

——Having passed the Breath Soil High School entrance exam, the Eternal Technology Association had rewarded them too.

Now with a 'name' and chosen mentors, the school term not yet begun, and money in hand,

It was the most carefree of times.

Zhang Xiaoyi suggested playing a round together.

But Guo Yunye seemed hesitant.

"Hey, do you guys know? There's a silver coast in Jade Capital, I want to check it out," he said over the mic.

"Yeah, we know, beneath the Yu Jing Bridge crossing the river, there lies the famous Yunlan River. When moonlight sprinkles down, the river glistens, shining as bright as the Milky Way——"

Zhang Xiaoyi chuckled before continuing, "Save that for when you have a girlfriend, let's play games for now."

"Right," Guo Yunye agreed.

The room was peaceful, bathed in moonlight.

Shen Ye listened quietly to their conversation.

——Perhaps only after a long journey through life, frantically striving for half a lifetime, when looking back, one would realize that this mundane student life was a brief holiday never to be had again.

"You guys go ahead and play, I'm beat, I'm going to sleep," Shen Ye yawned.

"No way, you're a disciple of Hun Tian Gate, and you're tired already?" Zhang Xiaoyi exclaimed.

"Don't go, let's fight three hundred rounds," Guo Yunye also shouted.

A slight smile curved Shen Ye's lips as he responded, "Spare me, brothers. When I'm back at the school, I'll treat you to a meal."

"It's gotta be a feast."

"Yeah, a feast!"

"No problem."

Shen Ye bid them goodnight and logged off.

He took a shower, got dressed, and left a note on the table saying he had to go because of urgent group business and that he'd speak more upon his return, in case his parents worried if they found him gone in the morning.

All was ready.

He loosened up his shoulders and neck, then placed his hand in the void.

"I'm off," he said.

"Hmm," the giant Skeleton responded.

The door opened.

Shen Ye stepped through it and into the Nightmare World.
