Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 2375 - 2394: Realm of Heaven’s Gate

About ten minutes later, Yusuf Zuck disappeared from the sight of the merit academy director and others because he walked into the crumbling ruins and barren trees.

Although the gate seemed to be only a hundred meters away from those ruins and barren trees, it took Yusuf Zuck ten minutes, indicating that the path inside wasn’t easy to walk!

Indeed, it was difficult to traverse, as Yusuf Zuck deeply experienced the overwhelming gravity, which made every step he took incredibly exhausting.

Occasionally mixed among the rubble and deadwood were some steles resembling gravestones, but none of them was intact, and there were no inscriptions on them.

After Yusuf Zuck entered, he guessed from the geographical environment that this place might have once been a palace or a small city, only to have time ravage everything into decay.

There was no path inside; sometimes, large stones blocked his way, with no route on either side, so he could only laboriously climb over them.

There were no living creatures inside, no insects, no birds, no beasts.

The sky here wasn’t blue, but pale gray, with no wind or sunlight.

However, despite the absence of sunlight, the place wasn’t dark, though Yusuf Zuck didn’t know why.

He walked forward for approximately a day and a night before finally discovering something unusual.

It was a pile of pale gold-colored bones!

Indeed, they were pale gold, similar to the purple-gold color sold in earthly gold shops. The bones were evidently human, with a head, hands, and feet, and even a ring on one of the hand bones.

Yusuf Zuck felt excited, as he didn’t expect such an unexpected surprise, so he gleefully reached to pick up the ring!

However, just as his fingers touched the ring, it rapidly crumbled into dust and fine sand.

The space ring had disintegrated due to the passage of time. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"The space ring shattered, yet the bones remain intact?" Yusuf Zuck blinked, realizing this corpse must have been tremendously powerful when alive, and the pale gold color of the bones suggested this person cultivated their physical body to great heights of merit and fortune, though unfortunately they perished here.

"Though the saying goes ’rest in peace,’ I can’t possibly move the rubble here, so I must apologize. I’ll have to take your bones with me. If they prove beneficial to me, then they’ll serve the purpose of benefiting future generations as your posthumous virtue. If they don’t, I’ll find a good burial place for them!" Yusuf Zuck shamelessly addressed the remains, planning to store them in Blue Sea and Cloud Sky.

"Damn it, it’s strange that objects can be stored inside but I can’t enter myself!" Yusuf Zuck muttered while cursing, then continued onward.

A short while later, he found a cup, although half of it was missing, yet the cup was crafted from pure gold.

Being a lover of wealth, Yusuf Zuck found the golden object appealing, so he unceremoniously stored it away.

Moving forward, he encountered broken porcelain bowls and the like, but decided not to keep them; though they were antiques, they were useless to him. People of Patrick Ruiz never cared for collecting antiques, as they themselves were relics.

Continuously wandering, Yusuf Zuck kept finding items like bowls, cups, pots, and even gemstones.

But the more he moved forward, the more irritated he became, as after seven days, he still hadn’t reached the end.

Of course, during these seven days, he hadn’t managed to cover a lot of distance due to the overpowering gravity. He calculated that the journey of seven days only equated to less than thirty miles!

"What the hell kind of place is this, when will it end?" Yusuf Zuck expressed frustration and helplessness without any solutions.

Having come this far in seven days, he couldn’t possibly turn back, and if he did, what would be the point? He still wouldn’t be able to exit.

So he gritted his teeth and continued forward.

On the fourteenth day, after he crossed over a giant stone, he finally saw a green meadow, marking the end of the rubble. Along the horizon of the meadow, he saw the misaligned space-time!

"Misaligned space-time!" Yusuf Zuck was extremely excited, because no matter the disruption in space-time, he could exit this cursed place at any time by summoning the Door of the Other Shore, then return to Patrick Ruiz.

The misaligned space-time didn’t frighten him at all; how chaotic could it be? So, as if he was injected with adrenaline, he continued desperately forward.

The meadow also had gravity like the pile of rubble, with similar intensity, but since the meadow was flatter and required no climbing, his speed was slightly higher than through the rubble.

The horizon appeared close, yet it took him another fourteen days to finally reach it!

Fourteen plus fourteen equals twenty-eight days!

After twenty-eight days, he stood at the edge of the meadow, where a cliff marked its end, below which was the misaligned space-time.

It was deemed misaligned space-time due to the tumultuous lightning and ever-swelling dark clouds, acting as the unique signature of the space-time, albeit an unruly one.

"Haha, I can finally get out." Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily three times, then jumped forward without hesitation!

"Whirr~ whirrr whirrr whirrr whirrr~" The immense tearing force proved more terrifying than gravity; fortunately, his physical form was more robust than that of a typical Eternal Realm body and had reached the Undying Gold Body. Hence, the tearing force didn’t shred him apart, while his body was uncontrollably drawn into a black hole within the force.

"No, this isn’t right, this isn’t misaligned space-time; it’s merely a space-time passage, without any misalignment. The black hole serves solely as the passageway, but where does this black hole lead?" Yusuf Zuck maintained a clear Spirit Tablet, guarding his body with full blood, swiftly rotating through the passage as he vanished.

After roughly eleven breaths, Yusuf Zuck’s body suddenly lightened, followed by fresh air and fragrant grass wafting to his nose. He also heard the sound of wind and felt warmth!

He fell out of the void, beholding an endless forest.

"Huh... This isn’t right, isn’t right at all!" As he plummeted downward, he quickly stabilized himself, exclaiming that something was wrong, repeatedly insisting it to himself!

For he found the environment strangely familiar!

"Hmm? Someone’s here? Damn, Dominick Sheppard!" Yusuf Zuck’s eyes turned as he recognized the familiar surroundings and people!

This place is... the Heaven’s Gate world, where the altar pagoda stood, where his father-in-law and Cory Richmond intended to come, where Demi Garrett had sent him to seek fortune!

He had arrived here through the Heavenly Dao Garden and the first person he encountered was Dominick Sheppard.

Dominick Sheppard was still traversing the forest outside, yet to reach the Heaven’s Gate Altar at the pagoda site, as flight was forbidden here!

Except for Nirvana Realm beings who couldn’t fly, those breaking into Nirvana and reaching the Eternal Realm could soar!

Dominick Sheppard had been walking here for years, still stubbornly moving forward, while Yusuf Zuck had already married two wives outside!
