Chapter 1499 Don't Open the Door to Strangers
Password? The Gate of No Boundaries opens? In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Gmezburg's mind, but finally settled on Anthony's face.
“No password. My name is Anthony. We bought this at the flea market. What are you? The Gate of No Boundaries?” Germezburg said.
The Tree of Myriad Realms stared at him in astonishment, utterly shocked. It clearly hadn't expected Grimzburg to suddenly utter such words. Anthony? The flea market? What on earth is this?
The face on the doorknob blinked and said, "Where are you? I can't see you. Please come to the door."
Grimzburg casually conjured a humanoid alien, which entered the barrier and arrived in front of the doorknob.
"My guardian beast is missing. I can't contact it. Have you seen it?" the doorknob said.
After thinking for a moment, Gmezburg said, "Legend has it that it was killed by the tree god a long, long time ago."
“I see, that’s how I guessed it, otherwise…” The doorknob paused for a moment, then said, “Without the password, I cannot open the Gate of Boundless Space. I can only trade with you. What do you need?”
Gmezburg's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I know that a powerful consciousness resides in the core of an abyss. Is there any way I can drive this consciousness away?"
“It’s simple, one Destruction Ball will do. Do you need it? All you need is a little Chaos Mist,” the doorknob said.
Grimzburg nodded and traded a Destruction Orb for a bit of Chaos Mist.
If Anthony were there, he would definitely berate this spendthrift. He used thirty times more Chaos Mist to trade for the Destroyer Ball than Anthony did, which is simply inflating the ball's price.
However, this bit of chaotic mist was insignificant to Germezburg, and he didn't think the price was too high at all. After obtaining the Destruction Orb, he immediately recognized that it was the same type as the one that Ang and the others had thrown onto the core of the abyss.
Gmelzburg fiddled with the Doomball, then asked, "I feel like I've seen this Doomball before? Have you ever sold one of these to anyone before?"
The doorknob thought for a moment and said, "This is just a very ordinary consciousness dispelling device. If I don't sell it, someone else will. I don't know how many people own it."
Gmezburg's heart skipped a beat, and he asked again, "Besides you, are there any other Gates of Boundless Realm?"
The expression on the doorknob suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Have you seen any other Gates of Boundless Realm?"
Gmelzburg shook his head: "I've never seen you, but I've heard of you. I just don't know if it's you."
"No, no, it's definitely not me. This is the first time this Boundless Gate has been activated. Do you know anything about the other Boundless Gates?" the doorknob asked.
Grimmburg thought for a moment and said, "Are there many Gates of No Boundaries? I know some information about one of them; it's in the hands of a Starborn named Ang."
“Ang? Starborn?” The doorknob repeated thoughtfully, then skipped the question and asked again, “Is there anything else you need to buy?”
“Wait a minute, you haven’t answered my question yet. Are there many Gates of Boundless?” Gmezburg pressed.
"Yes, there are many doors, but you seem surprised. Have you only seen two Gates of Boundless Realm?" the doorknob asked, puzzled.
Germazburg's heart skipped a beat. This was troublesome. His words seemed to have revealed a lot of information. How should he respond?
Before facing Anthony, Germezburg had no idea that language could reveal so much information. But after being tricked by Anthony so many times, he has come to a profound understanding of the importance of keeping quiet.
But understanding was useless; he didn't know what he should or shouldn't say. The other party had already gotten some information from his words, so wouldn't continuing to say more reveal even more information?
His mind raced, but Gmezburg found himself at a loss for words. At that moment, he was filled with regret: Why didn't I have a subject like Anthony? Why didn't I use a cunning mindset back then?
Grimaldburg had previously used a human consciousness to make it easier for him to understand Anthony's rhetoric. Thinking about this, he regretted it. He should have known better than to do that. He would rather not understand at all. If he hadn't understood Anthony's rhetoric, he wouldn't have been tricked so badly.
At the time, he didn't understand the importance of rhetoric; he just randomly chose a knowledgeable person. But now he knows that being knowledgeable doesn't equate to being cunning.
It's too late to regret it now. Those who were able to follow were all powerful beings. Humans, such a fragile race, had long been abandoned in their original place. With the departure of the divine star and the arrival of darkness, they are probably mostly dead by now.
Without Anthony's level of skill, it would be impossible for him to prevent information leaks through language, because he simply wouldn't know which sentence revealed what information. Being able to imitate Anthony and create a fake identity for himself is already the best he can do.
Thinking of this, Gmezburg gave up struggling and said directly, "I have only seen this Gate of Boundless Boundaries. I have never seen the other one, but I have heard of it."
After a moment of silence, the doorknob said, "I understand. Do you need anything else?"
"You know? What do you know? How many Gates of Boundless are left? What do you mean by leaving half?" Germezburg said angrily.
After a moment of silence, the doorknob said with a hint of helplessness, "Information is also a commodity, don't you know that? If you want to know something, you can buy it with the Chaos Mist."
Gmelzburg said, "Tell me how many Gates of Boundless are there before I know if your information is valuable."
The doorknob thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how many Gates of Boundless are there, but theoretically, every divine star has one Gate of Boundless."
Grimmburg was startled. Every divine star had a Gate to Boundless Realm? Why were there so many Gates to Boundless Realm? Wasn't it supposed to be the only way to escape the boundless prison? Every divine star had a way to escape its prison?
After spending a considerable amount of Chaos Mist and asking numerous questions, Anthony's abilities were once again demonstrated. Not only did Gmezburg spend several times more Chaos Mist, but his questions were also unsystematic.
He wasted time asking questions that could clearly be corroborated, and in the end, he didn't get any particularly crucial information. For example, the doorknob didn't answer at all when asked about the situation outside the boundless cage.
Finally, Gmelzburg asked, "Do you have a way to quickly teleport in the void, a way to immediately travel from one planet to another?"
"Yes, you can go through the Gate of Boundless. As long as you connect to another Gate of Boundless, you can be teleported there, like this." As soon as the doorknob finished speaking, the Gate of Boundless suddenly opened, spitting out a ball of light as tall as a person.
The sphere of light quickly solidified into a humanoid creature. He then stood before the door, slowly opening bottles filled with chaotic mist and letting the doorknob absorb it, saying, "Didn't your creator teach you not to open the door to strangers?"
Not long after he finished speaking, the doorknob absorbed enough chaotic droplets, reopened the Gate of Boundless Space, and spat out another ball of light.
One after another, orbs of light were emitted, condensing into humanoid figures. One of them came to Gmezburg's side, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up: "Why aren't you talking? Don't you have a creator?"
Gmezburg smiled faintly: "I don't remember what my creator taught me, but your creator certainly didn't tell you not to enter strangers' territory casually."
