Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 977 - 462 Steal Home!_3

"The family’s legacy and treasures have been inherited by us."

"So we now represent the Shen Family."

Shen Ye silently reviewed the memories from his awakening.

The Shen Family...

Very normal.

But still a part of the orthodox civilization lineage.

"Can we truly make the connections?" Shen Ye asked.

Before his words were finished, Father Shen hurried over, lowered his voice, and said:

"Xiao Ye, follow me."

Shen Ye stood up and followed his father toward the hall.

—This feeling was really hard to describe.

Moments ago, he had been witnessing a world-shaking battle aboard the Chaos Ship, racking his brain just to survive.

Yet now, here he was, following his father to curry favor and pull strings.

A hidden predator, parasitic across multiple layers of the universe.

Only when this multilayered universe freed itself from the shackles of death and gradually expanded did it allow its subordinate civilizations to awaken, and then—

Usurped the nest.

Shen Ye reached down and pressed his hand against the blade at his waist.

Father Shen immediately sensed the shift in his aura and turned back to caution: "Do not cause trouble; you must get your identity registered today."

"You must understand, those without proper documentation have no rights or status. If they’re killed, no one will care."

Shen Ye chuckled and replied, "Don’t worry. I’ve never liked stirring up trouble."

Father Shen exhaled a sigh of relief, his expression relaxing slightly.

Shen Ye then asked, "Dad, how much did it cost to pull strings this time?"

"Practically every last penny," Father Shen sighed.

"All of it?" Shen Ye asked, surprised.

"After losing memory, obtaining a normal identity is extremely difficult. You have to bribe a lot of people. This was only possible because our Shen Family has always been known as a clean play within the sect, with a decent reputation," Father Shen replied.

Shen Ye stayed silent for a while, loosened his grip, and also stored his blade into the Space Ring.

Now unarmed, he truly looked like a well-behaved high school student.

—Just an unusually handsome one.

Father Shen noticed the change in his aura and said with gratification, "You’ve grown up."

"I’m just heartbroken about the money," Shen Ye remarked.

"Follow me."

Father Shen led him to the right side of the hall, stopping in front of a small door and knocked.

"Please enter."

The door opened.

Father Shen pulled Shen Ye into the room.

Inside was a compact martial arts training hall.

Someone came forward, holding a notebook, and started reading aloud:

"Shen Family’s... Shen Ye, alright, special approval granted. You’re allowed to re-register awakening procedures; this way."

Shen Ye was guided to sit on a chair.

Across from him were three professionals.

"Old Shen, it’s not easy for you." One professional greeted Father Shen with a smile.

"This must be Young Master Shen?" another asked.

Father Shen cupped his hands and said, "Indeed."

The professionals exchanged knowing smiles.

Shen Ye clenched his fists briefly before relaxing them. His face took on a harmless expression as he glanced around curiously.

"Let’s begin," said the one in the center.

"Alright, Shen Ye, your father mentioned you’ve experienced a life-threatening event and nearly died, is that correct?" one asked.

"Yes," Shen Ye replied.

"Such circumstances can indeed lead to potential memory discrepancies," added the second.

"Agreed," chimed in the third.

"Then let’s pull the records and verify whether this is true."

A junior clerk quickly placed several sheets of paper on the table.

"Hmm... Indeed, there’s a record of this—he nearly died, was sent home, and there were also some issues at the police department."

The group reviewed the records.

—This was a genuine "anomaly," able to stand up to any scrutiny.

The real "Shen Ye" had died as a result of the incident.

The professionals expressed some sentiment.

"Since the slumbering and lurking days, how many families had people reincarnated, facing various issues, losing memory, and disappearing, unable to be found."

"Yes, but these sacrifices were worth it. We’ve ultimately won this world."

"Exactly."

They turned their gaze back to Shen Ye.

"Now let’s evaluate your Law Realm proficiency... Hmm? Already at the Law Realm 14th Layer?"

"Not yet seventeen years old. A genius!"

"Boundless potential."

"So—shall we make the decision?"

"Let’s vote."

All three raised their hands.

"Unanimous approval."

A bright red stamp landed with a "thud" upon Shen Ye’s file.

The person in the center handed the file to a nearby junior clerk, instructing, "Process the certificate, expedite it."

"Understood."

The clerk took the file and left quickly.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but feel speechless.

Father Shen, however, began bowing deeply to the group: "Thank you all so much. Really, thank you—everything for tonight has been arranged. Please do honor us with your presence."

The group chuckled.

The one in the center waved a hand: "That’s alright. We’re just doing our job, contributing to the entirety of civilization’s effort; no need to be so formal."

"Old Shen, take your young master to the back to pick up his certificate."

"Alright, alright!" Father Shen gestured toward Shen Ye.

Shen Ye immediately stood up and followed his father toward the back.

The pair passed through the hall to its end, opened another small door, and stepped inside.

They entered a rest room.

Through a glass window, Shen Ye could see the adjacent room, where seven or eight people were bound in shackles and had steel spikes inserted into their heads.

Several officers walked back and forth, periodically checking on the individuals.

"What’s this?"

Shen Ye asked.

"They’re also registering identity, but their memories have to be thoroughly searched, which usually takes about fifteen days to complete," Shen Shi’an said indifferently.

"And I got mine done after just speaking a few words," Shen Ye remarked.

"Because money was spent," Shen Shi’an chuckled, then added, "Even if these people have no issues, their souls will suffer damage. Whether or not they recover later remains uncertain."

He seemed to be in an excellent mood.

—Was it because the identity registration had been completed smoothly?

Shen Ye sighed softly.

A few moments passed.

The door was pushed open.

An official placed Shen Ye’s identity certificate down and then left.

Shen Ye picked up the certificate and looked at it.

—It was clearly a card!

The front of the card featured his portrait—a standard blue-background ID photo. On the back were a few lines:

"Shen Ye."

"Seventeen years old, Law Realm 14th Layer."

"Shen Mansion."

"Not yet registered into the world." novelbuddy.cσ๓

Compared to the cards from the Tower of Tarot, this one was much simpler.

"What does ’registered into the world’ mean?"

Shen Ye asked.

"Strength assessment, official post, involvement in governance," Father Shen explained succinctly.

He then pulled out his own card to show Shen Ye:

"Shen Shi’an."

"Forty-nine years old, Law Realm 7th Layer."

"Shen Mansion."

"Street patrol, authorized to command two patrol officers, wield weapons, and kill troublemakers, responsible for the public order of designated streets."

As Shen Ye looked, the aura around him suddenly surged.

The substitute had been cultivating all along and had now leveled up!

The small text on his card flickered and transformed:

"Seventeen years old, Law Realm 15th Layer."

Shen Ye contemplated for a while before speaking: "Dad, take me to register into the world."

"Are you sure you don’t want to continue cultivating? Once you get involved in societal affairs, it’ll keep you extremely busy. I’m afraid it’ll interrupt your cultivation," Father Shen asked with concern.

Interrupt cultivation?

Shen Ye glanced at his "Little Western Heaven."

With a three-month-to-one-day time scale, the substitute continued to utilize the "Quick Cultivation Guide."

It likely wouldn’t be long before he leveled up again.

A set of notification symbols had long surfaced within "Little Western Heaven":

"Achieved Law Realm 15th Layer proficiency."

"Due to cultivating the ’Quick Cultivation Guide,’ reaching the 15th layer will grant Special Blessing."

"Now you can upgrade your profession ’Mountain God’."

"Additionally, your real-time strategy base has absorbed exceptionally rare elements: ’Feeding.’"

"The robotics factory and Truth Cannon are undergoing further refinement, evolving."

After reading through everything, Shen Ye’s conviction became even firmer.

"It won’t hinder my cultivation, Dad. Take me there," he said with a smile.

This civilization performed a brilliant home steal.

It didn’t even require a rivers-of-blood scenario.

I’ll steal back the home that was taken away.

—Along with your entire civilization.
