Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 1406: Chapter 599: Token of Gratitude (3)

“I…”

Good Duck wanted to say something, but upon careful thought—

If it were me, seeing the first one to ignite the Dark Flames and obtain the Laws was a bow-tied, constantly singing duck, I’d probably think it was a deliberate ruse too.

“That works, but since that guy’s gone, we should be safe now, right?”

Good Duck asked.

“It’s safe,” the woman said with a smile.

Good Duck breathed a sigh of relief, but became somewhat uneasy and asked:

“Did we bring back the Dark Flames from history only to bring back a trap?”

“It’s not a trap,” the woman explained, “it’s just that they sensed the situation here, so they came to investigate.”

“The Law Tree I just activated was destroyed by it, so from now on—” Good Duck said.

“It is indeed troublesome. You probably won’t be able to have a Law Tree again,” the woman said.

Good Duck was taken aback.

Yes.

Actually, when that door was destroyed earlier, I had such suspicions.

But hearing someone else say it out loud—

At this moment.

I truly felt despair.

“So, I’m useless?”

Good Duck said with a shrug.

“They did it intentionally—living in pain brings them more pleasure than killing you—”

The woman sighed, her eyes showing a trace of pity:

“Your actions deceived it, and indirectly saved me as well—oh well, let me take a look—”

In a moment.

She spoke again:

“The strong monopolize the Laws, and without consciousness, the Laws cannot resist and can only serve as resources.”

“Things are really chaotic here.”

Ding ding ding—

Before the woman could finish speaking, the clock on her left started ringing.

“My time is up, I must leave immediately.”

The woman stood up urgently, walked up to Shen Ye, opened the book in her right hand, and said while consulting it:

“May I ask what your true ideal is?”

“Open source,” Shen Ye pondered and said.

“Open source?” the woman asked.

“Yes, everyone has resources, the Truth is in the hands of the people, gunpowder is only used for fireworks, the Saint’s responsibility is to educate, not to monopolize—in short, I hope the world becomes better, and the Laws are not restricted.”

Shen Ye said.

“The Laws are not restricted?”

The corners of the woman’s mouth lifted slightly, and she said softly, “You would certainly get along well with my child.”

“Your child—” Shen Ye asked.

“Ah, he hasn’t been born yet.”

“…Then how would we get along?”

“His swordsmanship is already helping you guys—well, in this timeline, he has already been born, and I come from the ‘past’—because time stands by my side, I can hide here.”

The woman finally found what she was looking for.

She held up the black book and recited to Shen Ye:

“At this moment, the mysteries say, you are owned.”

“The master says—”

“The Laws are not restricted.”

A gentle breeze blew past.

It seemed something had happened.

The woman bowed slightly and said:

“I borrowed some of your time, and I will return it to you shortly.”

“The other things are a gift from the master.”

“And maybe I will meet you again in the future.”

As her words fell.

The woman suddenly disappeared.

Shen Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

He discovered he was still Good Duck, just slid off the table, sitting on the Dragon Girl’s lap.

The other female Professional next to him found Duck cute and couldn’t help but reach out to touch Duck, but was stopped by Dragon Girl’s outstretched hand.

“It’s asleep.”

Dragon Girl gently warned the other party.

The person awkwardly withdrew their hand.

Good Duck was shocked.

What’s going on!

Why has time reversed?

No, wait.

Time Saint—

It no longer allowed me to use time, so why is this happening again?

In an instant.

Lines of small, shimmering text quietly emerged:

“You lost the Law Tree.”

“From now on, you will no longer be able to establish a Law Tree.”

“Congratulations.”

“You saved a special existence at a special point in time, and thus received a secret blessing.”

“Description:”

“From now on, you will not be restricted by any Laws.”

“—The combined gift from Time, Mystery, and the Master.”
