Chapter 1290: Chapter 122: Assembly of the Powerful
The world inside the high walls was not as cold as the outside.
Obsolete inferior first-generation drones, with small lanterns hanging underneath, swayed and flew within the walls of the S3 living area, casting a warm spiritual radiance.
Those extraordinary survivors from the disaster huddled in the world behind the walls to survive.
For the past three years, they have essentially given up on seeking help outside the living area. The number of beasts lurking in the dense forest was simply too many, and besides… who could they seek help from?
The Church? The Five Continents Governnt? If seeking help were useful, then the Sangzhou Cave wouldn’t be in its current state.
They knew they had been abandoned.
Due to a notification from the Spiritual Transcendent, “reinforcents” soon arrived… yet the misunderstanding had already been cleared up. After a round of handover by the wall patrol, Patil led Gu Shen and the group towards the new living area.
Though it was simple and worn out, it had everything it needed.
Residences, cultivation fields, equipnt repair stations…
“All of this was built by ‘Mr. Zhuang’ along with us,” Patil said in a hoarse voice. “The survivors established a new ho here, erected high walls… Not long after, he passed away.”
Gu Shen’s expression was complex.
[Deep Sea] launched a purge against the Ancient Literature Society. If one were to choose an appropriate “hideout”…
Then Sangzhou Cave would indeed be suitable.
Geographically remote, near the world’s edge, the Storm Church allowed sects to vie for believers, causing chaos. Within this chaos, mbers of the Ancient Literature Society could obtain the “peace” they sought.
“Mr. Zhuang was likely one of the ‘missing persons’ from the Southern Continent,” Chu Ling analyzed. “During the massive purge twenty years ago, many from the Southern Continent went missing… If they truly arrived at Sangzhou Cave, then there must be more than one mber. I suspect there might be a secret base constructed by the Ancient Literature Society here.”
“Mr. Zhuang’s tombstone is here.”
In the most secluded corner of the new ho within the S3 walls stood scattered stone tablets.
Patil led everyone there.
“So of those ‘bodies’ outside have never been dealt with… because they are ‘extremists’ who believed in the Church. Handling their bodies might bring trouble.”
Patil paused and said, “Sangzhou Cave is chaotic now, and it’s not just the ‘S3 living area’ that erected high walls; many high walls have been constructed in four major areas. There’s not much we can do, just self-preservation.”
“Trouble?” Shen Li asked, “What kinds of trouble could these bodies cause?”
“The Church has many ans, and they are terrifying,” Patil stated solemnly. “Before Mr. Zhuang passed away, he warned us that the extraordinary power wielded by the Church is not sothing we can contend with, and we should avoid touching anything related to the Church.”
“The Storm God’s Throne leaves a ‘spiritual trace.'” Adam said, “Dealing with these bodies could have the Storm Church tracing the ‘spiritual trace’ to find you… what that Mr. Zhuang advised you wasn’t wrong, but he overestimated how much the Church valued its citizens; those people in the Church don’t care about the deaths of these transcendent individuals.”
“You ntioned ‘extremists,'” Gu Shen calmly said. “You fired at before… were you worried I was an ‘extremist’?”
“…Yes.”
Patil nodded, “Although the sects’ transcendents have all evacuated, there are still fanatical believers converted from the indigenous people of Sangzhou Cave. Those residing in the S3 living area now are all ‘neutral.’ We refuse to participate in the ‘Church’s’ battles, so we also reject the preaching of ‘extremists’… If we let them in, the living area would be in turmoil.”
“…Still preaching at tis like these?” Shen Li could hardly understand.
“Reality is often this cruel…”
Gu Shen paused and said, “The more wretched one’s life, the more one needs faith to sustain them.”
Extraordinary Awakening could be seen as part of the arrival of a “divine miracle.”
Thus, in the eyes of the fervent believers, this sudden awakening experint seed like a trial bestowed by the “Storm God’s Throne” upon this island… they needed to survive and prove their life’s aning to the great existence beyond the storm!
…
…
Just as they were about to turn and leave the cetery.
“Beep—”
In Gu Shen’s Spirit Sea, a cold female voice resonated.
“Gu Shen, it’s .”
It was Mu Wanqiu’s voice.
Through the Netherworld Fire, the two could now communicate over long distances; golden spike flowers could also achieve this. Gu Shen’s Pure Land was an exceptionally large spiritual relay station, and unless in a disaster realm completely isolated from the outside world, [Angel Envoy] could communicate with him.
“The North Continent Transcendent has already arrived at the Holy City Research Institute base.”
Mu Wanqiu said, “Although so conflicts erged outside the base… the Four Continents troops are now prepared to enter ‘Sangzhou Cave.’
“Conflicts?”
Gu Shen smiled and thought, “I guess it’s the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy from Upper City causing it.”
“Hmm, I heard you kidnapped their researchers…” Mu Wanqiu reminded, “This guy might co in and settle the score with you, so be very careful.”
“No worries.”
Gu Shen replied nonchalantly, “Has he entered ‘Sangzhou Cave,’ alone?”
“Red Dragon held him back; the four Divine Envoys have gathered.”
Mu Wanqiu calmly said, “Upper City Transcendent will set out together… if you need help, just let know. Lu Zhe is also here for this task.”
