"Is it really okay to use ’River Poison’?" Mu Wanqiu hesitated.
Gu Shen knew what she was worried about.
This toxin... if Light City and Source Tower were to investigate, they could still discover so information.
"Even if they find out that this poison is related to the ’Netherworld King’, so what."
Gu Shen calmly said, "Don’t forget, the ’Netherworld King’ has always been in East Continent."
In the past two years, the Netherworld King, who fleetingly appeared during the cetery Divine War, has completely disappeared.
Just like Gu Changzhi back then... only now, the Five Continents no longer accept such a ’disappearance’.
For the Divine Throne, to ’sleep’ silently is equivalent to ’dying’.
The deterrent power of the highest seat lies in being ’awake’!
He laid out this toxic miasma to have Central Continent and West Continent investigate it! Everything about the ’Fire Seed’ is destined to be chaotic and unknowable. No matter how outsiders investigate, in the end, they can only get one piece of information.
The Netherworld King is still alive.
That’s enough.
Gu Shen stood on the flying sword, satisfied as he looked at the ’toxic miasma’ behind him. This battle was over, and he subconsciously retrieved the ’pendant’...
The latter still reminded him.
["Do not go."]
["Do not go."]
Gu Shen frowned slightly.
The protection from the [Goddess of Destiny] guides the host to the correct direction, in a sense, it is the last ’life assurance’ a Transcendent can trust. In most crisis situations, the pendant will give a direction leading to ’life’.
When heading towards the Beast Tide, the pendant told him not to go.
On the return journey, the pendant similarly sent him a warning signal.
Gu Shen hovered in mid-air.
He felt so confusion and so bewildernt at this mont because the Beast Tide had already been dispersed and divided into two groups, swept toward the stationed area of Light City and Source Tower.
The intuitive reaction of the Spiritual system no longer stirred.
He felt he was incredibly safe.
Yet the pendant reminded him...
Danger?
...
...
Gu Shen landed on the city wall of zone S12.
"You damn bastard... scared to death."
Shen Li saw Gu Shen co back and greeted him with a punch, which lightly landed.
Gu Shen smiled and asked, "Why, have you ever seen do anything I’m not confident about?"
"..." Shen Li’s expression was complex.
In Changye, after knowing him for so long, he indeed hadn’t seen Gu Shen act rashly... it’s just that those Beast Tides were really terrifying, and to complete the diversion, one would need either top-level ’seal items’ or an extrely powerful group attack domain.
The latter probably has to be a Titled level Extraordinary.
"But speaking of it, what exactly was that black curtain wall?" Shen Li lowered his voice and quietly approached.
Gu Shen looked at him like he was a fool.
The [Heavenly Eye] malfunctioned for three minutes, and no one would think it was an accident. Everyone should know it was deliberately blocked by his hand.
"Can’t even tell ?" Little Iron Man asked pitifully.
"It’s not that I can’t tell... Do you really want to know?"
Gu Shen recalled his true intention of taking Shen Li southward, revealing a aningful smile.
"???"
Shen Li felt that this smile wasn’t quite right and imdiately dismissed the idea: "...Forget it, pretend I didn’t ask."
Gu Shen brushed his sleeves and walked down the city.
Bai Xiu, Chen i, both sent ssages.
Also, many ssages, Lu Zhe, Wild Dog, all sent caring inquiries, content roughly similar, asking if he was injured, and if he needed help.
Gu Shen replied one by one.
However, among the ssages from these people, one caught his attention.
...
...
Zone S3.
Inside Mr. Zhuang’s old house, a figure was bent over the desk; the previously empty desk was now piled with books again, mixed with a dozen complex [Deep Sea] projections.
Adam removed that eye and put on a ’chanical prosthetic eye’.
In the reflection of light and shadow.
This man’s half face was intact, while the other half seed to have been ravaged...
The "eyeball" lay quietly on the table.
But eerily, the pupil of the [Eye of Destiny] was still moving, silently and rapidly observing the surroundings in all directions, like a tadpole trapped in a narrow pool of water...
"Dong—"
Gu Shen gently knocked on the wooden door of the inner room.
"Co in."
Adam held a pen in his left hand, writing quickly, while his right hand wrote constantly in a virtual projection... He was a leftie and a multi-tasking genius. For a Spiritual Transcendent, multi-tasking wasn’t too difficult, but mastering it to this extent was very challenging. And he wasn’t just putting on a show.
Gu Shen glanced at the projections above the desk and then at the drafts on the table.
Studies on "Source Quality," Old World Origin Study.
This guy was conducting two studies simultaneously, possibly more, and the combined data was utterly overwhelming.
He couldn’t understand any of it.
Probably only Chu Ling could make sense of it.
"I saw the sectional drawing of ’Tanyao’ and ancient docunts recording the history of the Sangzhou Cave."
"This man did not deceive you. He is indeed researching ’source quality’ and ’old world origin,’ and attempting to connect them together."
Chu Ling said: "At tis like this, the ’chanical eye’ is more useful than the ’Eye of Destiny.’ That eyeball, with its own consciousness, wouldn’t be able to read two docunts at once."
"It’s , Gu Shen."
Gu Shen stood behind the door and spoke again.
Adam quickly stood up.
It was quite evident.
This "chanical eye" was also prepared for Gu Shen. The two of them t eyes, and this ti there was no awkward poetry recitation... Adam rubbed his hands a bit awkwardly and squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Xiao Gu, I never thought you’d co so quickly! Co, sit!"
"You just said... you observed an anomaly in the direction of ’Tanyao.’
Gu Shen wasn’t polite with Adam.
Besides, this room originally belonged to Mr. Zhuang... He pulled out a chair and sat down.
Returning to S12 District, he read all the information and imdiately set off to return here.
The reason was simple.
Adam told him that ’Tanyao’ had undergone a strange change—
"To be exact, it was not who saw it, but the ’Eye of Destiny.’
Adam turned his chair towards Gu Shen.
He placed the swirling eye into his palm and sincerely said: "After I settled here, I took so ti every day to stand at the highest point and use the ’Eye of Destiny’ to observe ’Tanyao.’ Because of the extraordinary effect of this eye, I could see through the ’mountain structure.’ That sectional drawing was drawn by , but this ti... when I looked at ’Tanyao,’ my eyes began to bleed."
"Bleeding?"
Gu Shen felt a chill. This kind of thing... happened twice.
Once, when Adam attempted to see clearly the God’s Favored Son.
The other ti, when Adam directly stared at the Netherworld Fire!
If this is the price for the ’Eye of Destiny’ spying on the fire seed...
Then could Tanyao’s mutation be related to the fire seed?
"What did you see this ti?" Gu Shen asked hurriedly.
"I..."
Adam hesitated for a mont. He slowly took off the chanical eye and put on the Eye of Destiny. At that mont, his deanor turned much gloomier, and he began to chant in a low voice: "The dim and lightless Earth Fire will eventually erupt, everything shall burn to ashes, moths dive inward, embracing the heart of the earth, all beasts gallop, returning to the light..."
"God’s Favored Son will bring destruction, and rebirth to this world."
Due to the infection from the "Eye of Destiny."
When he saw certain "information," he couldn’t help but imrse himself in the environnt that the eye presented.
After reciting this sentence, Adam imdiately took off that eye.
He stopped chanting, and his whole deanor changed again... gradually from gloomy to calm and relaxed.
"Tick-tock."
"Tick-tock."
In the silent room, a gentle sound could be heard.
That was the blood-tinged clear tears falling to the ground.
Adam covered his eye socket with one hand, squeezed out a smile, and with difficulty, took a breath to speak: "This is more or less what I saw... Mr. Xiao Gu, I saw a small, indistinct figure... standing at the crater..."
"’God’s Favored Son’ is watching , watching all living beings in this world."
This ti.
The "guidance" from the Eye of Destiny was intensely vivid.
In Gu Shen’s mind, such a scene had already appeared.
"And also..."
Adam was silent for a few seconds, seeming to hesitate whether to speak, but after struggling for a while, he chose to continue.
Thus, Adam spoke hoarsely.
"I think, I also saw you..."
