TN: Chinese New Year celebration lasts for about a week, so normal upload schedule will return after 2 days, thank you for all your kind words
In the sky, the flaming dark tunnel slowly disappeared.
Both Anna and Black Hound were already gone to places unknown.
Then a small-sized Interstellar Warship landed.
Liao Xing returned.
“What a majestic and awesome battle that was, I saw everything from space!” he shouted with undeniable glee.
“You’re a scientist, what do you think we should do next?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
“Cultivate! We have to cultivate! I’ve decided, I’m going to study cultivation as the main research topic for the world for the next few years” Liao Xing declared.
“That’s right, I need to go all-in on cultivating as well” Ye Fei Li sighed.
The President mused: “We have to quickly get everyone to enter a state of cultivation, that way if some sort of disaster strikes, everyone will be able to save themselves”
“That’s the way it should be, let us come and plan out a policy” Varona agreed.
Suddenly, the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook appeared from the void of space.
Behind the Divine Armament of Huang Quan, several dozen other weapons appeared hovering in the air as well.
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook spoke: “Please be assured, after the world fuses, us weapons of Huang Quan will also help”
“Us as well, we will make sure that this world is at peace” the Prayers Trial Machine also said.
Behind it, a lot of machines with different shapes and sizes followed.
“Seems like we’ll have quite the miraculous world from now” Liao Xing commented full of spirit.
Suddenly, a commotion was heard inside the mansion.
“Who’s there!?” Zhang Ying Hao questioned cautiously.
Just as he spoke, the door was opened from the inside.
Everyone quickly looked over.
It was Su Xue Er at the door, wearing a pure white robe with a scepter in hand.
She was smiling as her gaze passed over everyone here.
She didn’t see Gu Qing Shan.
“Hm? Why is Qing Shan not here?” Su Xue Er asked, clearly confused.
She couldn’t help but check the watch on her wrist.
She also didn’t have much time here this time either.
Since she came back to Fog Isle directly from here, she didn’t have to waste time travelling from far away like the last.
She had 1 hour.
Looking around again, she still couldn’t find Gu Qing Shan’s figure.
Su Xue Er took out her Holo-Brain and tried calling Gu Qing Shan.
Everyone exchanged looks.
Zhang Ying Hao patted himself on the chest, whispering: “We’re lucky that the other one just left, otherwise the world might be in a crisis again”
“That’s right” Ye Fei Li whispered back, “this time, not even Gu Qing Shan could save the world —-hell, he probably won’t be able to even save himself”
“Hm? What are you whispering about?” Su Xue Er asked.
She had already put her Holo-Brain away.
It wasn’t away to connect to Gu Qing Shan’s.
“Pardon me asking but, do you know where Gu Qing Shan is?” Su Xue Er asked courteously.
Zhang Ying Hao looked at Ye Fei Li, Ye Fei Li then looked at Liao Xing.
Liao Xing was still stunned by Su Xue Er’s beauty and muttered: “So pretty… ah, no, I mean he already left”
“Where did he go? Did something happen to him?” Su Xue Er pursued.
Her grip on the scepter was noticeably tighter.
“He’s fine, haven’t been better” Zhang Ying Hao quickly added.
“Alright then, where is he now? I want to see him right away”
“…You won’t be able to find him now” Liao Xing was still staring at Su Xue Er as he answered.
“Why not?”
“It’ll take too long to explain, it’s a really long story”
“Then please tell me everything from the very start, thank you very much!”
Su Xue Er very sternly insisted.
…
Liao Xing then told her everything that happened with Gu Qing Shan recently.
At the same time, Ye Fei Li went into the mansion and took a jade tag to give to Su Xue Er.
As Su Xue Er took the jade tag, she trembled slightly.
“Travel between two worlds? No wonder I saw such a future…”
She sighed, a bit distracted.
“If he isn’t here then I’ll go visit home for a little bit”
“Everyone, see you later”
“See you”
Everyone said goodbye.
Right as Su Xue Er was about to leave, she stopped as if she just remembered something.
Her expression seemed grim, like she wanted to ask but at the same time didn’t.
“Ah? Is there anything else you need, pretty girl?” Liao Xing smiled and asked.
“My apologies, this is actually a bit unrelated, but I still want to ask…”
“What is it?”
“Where is Anna? Where is she now?”
Saying so, Su Xue Er’s gaze became a bit undetermined.
“Ah, about that…”
Liao Xing was about to answer but then stopped.
—–what am I supposed to say here?
He looked around himself.
The President was already going back into the mansion.
Zhang Ying Hao was even quicker than the President already nowhere to be seen.
Ye Fei Li had jumped to the sky, flapping his wings to fly at a random direction.
Monarch Varona seems to be thinking about something, but muttered under her breath: “The young’uns these days…”
She was heading to the mansion as well.
Seeing their reactions, Liao Xing decided against it.
“I’m really sorry but, I don’t know Anna—-”
At this time, a small white bird appeared from out of nowhere.
It landed on Liao Xing’s shoulder, asking Su Xue Er with a high-pitched voice: “Anna? Are you talking about the woman who hugged Gu Qing Shan, or the one after who grabbed his arm and refused to let go?”
Silence, all around.
A sense of dread began to fill the air.
The thick killing intent was almost drowning Liao Xing.
“Ah? Seems like there are still a few things that I don’t know about”
Su Xue Er smiled as she slowly asked.
Abruptly, a thunderous echo, like some sort of immense force that broke the air.
The scepter in Su Xue Er’s hand was giving off a pillar of holy white light that seemingly reached all the way to heaven.
This force was so great that the clouds above where pierced through, forming a hole right in the middle.
The great holy light seemed almost like an act of god, making people who saw it couldn’t help but feel a sense of worship.
“I’m sorry, I’m still not used to controlling the scepter yet”
Su Xue Er lowered her head in apology.
She then swung the scepter, dismissing the power.
“Please tell me everything about those two women you just mentioned”
Su Xue Er asked with a tone that forced you to answer.
Liao Xing’s lips were trembling.
He couldn’t find the words.
Why are all the pretty girls these days… every single one of them…
The small white bird stood on his shoulder as it watched all this.
All of a sudden, it turned its head to one side, asking Liao Xing: “Old man, what are you shaking for? You cold?”
…
Gu Qing Shan appeared inside an area of space vortex.
He looked at both sides.
Qing Rou and Wan Er both looked exhausted, their eyes full of worry.
Quite a distance away, at the end of their gaze, a faint glowing gate could be seen.
There was so much excess natural energy coming from it that they could feel it all the way here.
“This spirit energy is coming from their formations, try and absorb as much as you can” Qing Rou told WanEr.
WanEr quickly nodded.
“It seems we’re close——— how much longer do we have?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“We will reach that world in at most 5 minutes” Qing Rou answered.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The Zishan young master, Qi Yan, should have already died now in the Tianma world.
Qi Yan’s father was a Virtualized realm late stage cultivator.
This extremely powerful cultivator was currently facing the tribulations.
Once he succeeds and advances to Cryptic realm, he will become the strongest man in all of Guang Yang sect.
Even the Elder who has been competing against him all this time wouldn’t be his match.
The Elder is also a Cryptic realm cultivator, but he still hasn’t healed from when he got attacked by the terrifying demonic god.
The gate of light was getting closer and closer.
Not too long after this, Gu Qing Shan will be facing the Zishan young master’s father.
At this time, lines of glowing text were scrolling past the War God UI.
[Destiny Quest: Battle of the collapsing world]
[Quest description: In the times of the world’s irreversible collapse, you managed to go to Huang Quan and find out the cause of the calamity, giving the world a tiny and improbable chance of overturning the situation]
[Quest objective: Do everything you can to save the world of Huang Quan and the human realm]
After Gu Qing Shan read through them, the words crumbled away.
[You have completed the Quest]
[You’ve received special storyline reward: War God Thaumaturgy (Sainted realm)]
The War God UI then turned a grim, dark color.
“Hah? What happened?”
Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
More glowing lines of text scrolled past the dark screen.
[This world used to be a very powerful cultivation civilization, but also a world heading towards collapse]
[The awakening of a Thaumaturgy is tied directly to the Laws of the current world]
[Your previous awakened Thaumaturgy—– Shadow Shift, was also born from a connection with the Shen Wu world, using that world’s Origin powers]
[Learn more about the Suspended world and understand its make-up]
[Once you’ve understood enough about the Suspended world, the Quest will begin]
After Gu Qing Shan read through them, the explanations disappeared.
The War God UI returned to darkness.
