?184: Chapter 184: The Rebirth Gate is Restored 184: Chapter 184: The Rebirth Gate is Restored Su Ran quickly broke free and turned around to see that the person behind him was his friend, the old beggar, whom he had not seen for many days.

    “Dear benefactor, may I request a word with you!”

    The old beggar looked at Su Ran with an unexplainable glow in his eyes.

    He was extremely filthy, with matted hair that clearly hadn’t been washed in quite some time.

    Understanding, Su Ran followed the old beggar into his house.

    The beggar closed the door behind him, his expression extremely serious. Sёar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    He pulled a small black cloth bundle from his bosom, composed himself, and handed it to Su Ran.

    “Huh?”

    Seeing the solemn expression on the old beggar’s face, Su Ran knew he couldn’t just brush it off.

    He quickly pushed back, questioning the old beggar, “Sir, what is this all about?”

    “My benefactor, I have nothing else to offer you.

    This is a family keepsake passed down from my ancestors.

    I hope you will take good care of it!”

    “Absolutely not.

    This is a treasured heirloom left by your ancestors — a legacy.

    I absolutely cannot accept it!” Su Ran knew that the treasure inside must be valuable.

    Although he was tempted, he knew his limits.

    To accept this would make him no better than a bandit!

    “Dear benefactor, please do not insist.

    It is not a gold or silver treasure.

    If it were something that valuable, I wouldn’t be bringing it out,” The old beggar chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, “It’s just a heart.

    It’s said to be the legendary Asura Heart!”

    Su Ran’s eyes widened in surprise.

    No wonder there were strange occurrences in the Imperial City recently which instilled fear in its citizens.

    So, this was the reason — the Asura Heart of the prophecy had already appeared in the world!

    “Then, I would be rude not to accept!”

    With a grin on his face, Su Ran took the Asura Heart and held it close.

    He cast aside his previous reservations.

    So, what if he was likened to a bandit?

    He was shameless, so it didn’t matter!

    “Sir, this Asura Heart is exactly what I need.

    I am extremely grateful!” Su Ran exclaimed fervently towards the old beggar.

    “If I can be of assistance to you, that’s the best thing.” Seeing Su Ran’s excitement, the old beggar broke into a contented grin.

    Remembering something, Su Ran said gravely to the old beggar, “Sir, I inquired about Dog-Egg’s situation.

    To wake Dog-Egg up, we have to enter the demons’ domain and submerge him in a demon blood pool.”

    “Demon domain, demon blood pool …, ” the old beggar muttered to himself, his voice suddenly grown hoarse, “Devil’s heart!”

    “But taking this path…

    I don’t know if it’s good or bad…” After saying this, the old beggar seemed to be reminiscing about something.

    Looking at Dog-Egg’s new bed that was covered in dust, he stirred up memories of the past.

    No matter what Dog-Egg would become, he would always be his father!

    “Sir, since the Asura Heart has appeared, then the legendary Rebirth Gate should also be returning to its rightful place soon.

    I intend to try my luck with the Rebirth Gate before returning to my territory with you.

    What do you think?”

    “I will follow whatever arrangements you make!” The old beggar was extremely humble now, smiling kindly at Su Ran with his dark face.

    Unable to contain his excitement, Su Ran focused his attention on the black cloth bundle in his arms.

    After a moment of thought, he placed it on the ground and unwrapped the black fabric, revealing a heart as black as pitch and hard as stone.

    Suddenly.

    The heart, now free from the black cloth, seemed to come alive and began to beat violently.

    A red ray appeared above the heart, rotating rapidly and casting the heart in a vibrant red hue.

    Just then, the beating Asura Heart suddenly emitted a bright light, forming a light beam that pierced through the roof and shot straight up into the sky.

    High up in the sky, the light beam seemed to be refracted, turned back, and shot straight into the Imperial City, crashing into the rumbling ground.

    “Boom!”

    Like an earthquake, the ground trembled violently.

    Many players were careless and fell over.

    The rumbling from underground gradually grew louder, the overwhelming noise was so strong that the nearby players had to cover their ears.

    However, immediately after that, the rumbling sound stopped as though it had been muted, and the ground stopped shaking and became calm again.

    The players seemed puzzled; the excitement was just about to start, but why had it ended so soon?

    Dammit, what kind of show is this after I was prepared to fight?

    Suddenly, a loud thunderclap roared from the ground.

    The deafening roar confused all the players, causing them to feel disoriented and dizzy.

    Some players were even knocked unconscious and forcefully logged off.

    The ground started to crack open with the roar of the thunder, and a huge crevice appeared in the players’ field of vision.

    The crevice was filled with dazzling light, making it too bright for people to look directly at it.

    Soon after, a giant light gate rose from the crevice on the ground and hovered over the square of the Imperial City, releasing a dazzling glow like a fierce sun.

    At the same time, the ground seemed to possess a will of its own.

    After the light gate appeared, the ground automatically closed, returning to its previous state.

    If it were not for the shining light gate in the sky, one would not be able to tell that anything had happened based only on the ground’s conditions.

    “Eh?

    What kind of gate is this?” The players exclaimed, shouting in surprise.

    “So weird, will monsters jump out from inside?”

    “You watch too much Kamen Rider, don’t you?

    I bet Guanyin Bodhisattva will come out!”

    “Ha, Bodhisattva, I would rather it be Doraemon!”

    “Eh?

    Quick, look!

    There are three big characters appearing on the gate!” One player noticed something unusual and hurriedly announced.

    Three light characters appeared on the massive light gate, continuously changing shapes like smoke, but never dispersing.

    “This is…” The players looked closely and cried out, “Rebirth Gate?!

    This is the Rebirth Gate!”

    The three light characters gradually solidified and hung above the light gate.

    Shining brightly, they declared the identity of the gate to everyone.

    “What an incredible Rebirth Gate!”

    “Rebirth Gate, entering the gate brings rebirth…

    Could this be the entrance to the underworld?” A player questioned out loud.

    “Whether it’s the underworld or hell, we won’t know until we go in!”

    A brave player, unable to suppress his excitement, rushed towards the Rebirth Gate.

    It was just a game after all; there was nothing to fear.

    If he died, he could just respawn!

    There was clearly a rare opportunity right before him.

    When opportunities knocked, the early bird would get the worms!

    Everyone in the game knew this rule.

    Seeing this, the other players eagerly watched, waiting to see what kind of spectacle this adventurous player would create.

    However, something unexpected happened.

    Just as the player reached the mysterious Rebirth Gate, a beam of light shot out from inside the gate.

    It turned into a long chain and wrapped around the player, yanking him inside regardless of his struggles!

    What was happening?

    All the players were stunned.

    Can it actually drag people inside?

    What on earth was this?
