Chapter 031: Return

After a moment, the divine artifact answered Wang Bo's question.

[There are two ways for the host to return to the Di Renjie world. First, if another穿越者 appears in that world, I will naturally send you back. Second, you can draw the ability to freely travel between worlds, or an item that grants such ability.]

Wang Bo listened and ultimately said nothing, silently making up his mind.

He would wait, waiting for the opportunity to arise.

Since the World Gate had appeared, it meant his luck was good. Perhaps before long, he could draw the ability to travel or an item for free world travel.

When that time came, Wang Bo could return to the Di Renjie world to find Hanyue and Yushu.

But before that, Wang Bo, following his usual practice, took out the World Gate.

This World Gate, from some wizard world, looked extremely complex. It was a palace-style square door made of a pitch-black material, neither rock nor metal, but a material Wang Bo had never seen before.

Wang Bo was certain that this material was not on the periodic table.

After all, it was from another world, so it was understandable.

This door, full of fantasy flavor, was carved with countless ornate patterns and covered with strange symbols that ordinary people could never understand.

But Wang Bo, who possessed the ability to comprehend languages, knew these were not symbols but a language.

Clearly, it was the language of the wizard world.

Written on it was the incantation to open the World Gate. Once the incantation was chanted, the gate would automatically lock onto this world. Then, after arriving in a new world, Wang Bo could use the gate to return to this one.

However, Wang Bo did not immediately chant the incantation. Instead, he took out the Replication Mirror and copied the World Gate several times.

Then he used the Woodcutter's Spring to upgrade the copied gates.

At first, the Spring Goddess was quite polite, but after Wang Bo repeatedly threw copied versions of the World Gate into the spring, her expression grew impatient.

Wang Bo had to stop tossing in the copied gates.

Afterward, Wang Bo contacted one of the seventy-two pillars of Hell, the beautiful, generous, and learned Lady Gremory.

"I have something good here. Do you want to see it?"

"What good thing?" Lady Gremory asked.

"A World Gate."

"World Gate? Never heard of it. Could it be a gate that can travel between worlds?" Lady Gremory guessed.

"Basically, that's it," Wang Bo said. "But this gate can only move between two worlds."

"So, with this gate, you can come to Hell anytime, and I can use it to reach you?"

"That's true, but..."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Lady Gremory interrupted him. "Give me the World Gate quickly."

Wang Bo: "...Can you let me finish?"

"I'm not interested in your words now, only in the World Gate. Send it to me right away; I want to see what this thing is." Lady Gremory said with great interest.

"Alright." Wang Bo shrugged helplessly. Considering Lady Gremory's help several times, he drew a magic circle and sent the copied and upgraded World Gate through it.

As for the original World Gate, Wang Bo kept it in his hands.

Soon, Lady Gremory received the gate and said, "Wait, I'll send you something."

"What?" Wang Bo asked in surprise.

"You'll know in a moment."

Lady Gremory teased him. A few seconds later, the magic circle in front of Wang Bo emitted a strong light. He widened his eyes and saw several patterned fruits appear in the center of the circle.

Wang Bo recognized them: "Devil Fruits? You cultivated them?"

He had originally given Lady Gremory only one Mera Mera no Mi, but she gave him five.

"This fruit is quite interesting. But after my analysis, there is no real demon inside; it's a special power that can alter genes."

Lady Gremory said proudly, "I've turned it into a true Devil Fruit and removed the drawbacks. You can safely use my modified Devil Fruits. Rest assured, there are no weaknesses."

What else could Wang Bo say but that Lady Gremory was amazing?

To be honest, he really didn't have the ability to modify Devil Fruits.

But for Lady Gremory, one of the seventy-two pillars, analyzing such fruits was too simple.

Perhaps only the World Gate would pose a challenge to her.

After a few more words, they ended the communication.

Wang Bo picked up the modified Devil Fruits and looked them over. They seemed no different from ordinary Devil Fruits, but he did not eat them, as he no longer needed them.

After all, Wang Bo already had enough abilities. Once his sixth sense awakened, he would gain even more superpowers.

A mere Devil Fruit was not worth it.

Wang Bo could give the Devil Fruits to those in need.

After putting away the Devil Fruits, Wang Bo took out the original World Gate and chanted the incantation.

The gate vibrated slightly a few times before calming down, looking much the same as before. But Wang Bo knew the gate had recorded the coordinates of this world.

In the new world, he could return to this one at any time through the gate.

For Wang Bo, this was but a small step.

Yet he was very excited.

Because it meant that from today on, he could return to the worlds he had experienced at any time.

This was undoubtedly a very good start.

Perhaps one day, he could return to the Mummy world, the Di Renjie world, the Batman world, the Godzilla world, the Pacific Rim world, and so on.

When that time came, Wang Bo could gather all the friends he had made in these worlds and throw a grand party.

Introducing his friends to one another.

At the thought of such a scene, Wang Bo couldn't help but smile.

So he took out the Moonlight Box and returned to the future.

However, when Wang Bo opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he was not in the villa but on an endless plain.

And all around was empty; he was alone.

At the same time, a flood of memories poured into Wang Bo's mind. After absorbing them, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
