Chapter 868: Chapter 71: Within My Control
After several hours of navigation, fifteen airships finally sailed from Central City to the entrance of the “Duolu River Disaster Realm,” located on the North Continent’s West Wing defense line, an extrely remote frontier.
Snow fell heavily.
The cold was biting.
All the Transcendents were on high alert.
The airships entered the Disaster Realm and slowly hovered. It was then that Zhong Yuan walked out of the gravity room, and Gu Shen also finished his Spiritual Cultivation.
Looking down from high above, a river of unprecedented size ca into view.
Gu Shen was born in the Qinghe District of the East Continent. This district was nad as such because the entire large region was built along the Qing River… That Qing River was already a magnificent and grand natural wonder. Yet, compared to the Duolu River before his eyes, it still fell short.
A pitch-black river cut through the world of ice and snow!
This river was several thousand ters wide, and its end could not be seen… Rather than a river, it was more like a huge lake, or a Dead Sea. Unlike the turbulent and rushing Qing River, the black waters of the Duolu River did not flow, and it appeared to be filled with an aura of Silent Annihilation.
Gu Shen silently clasped his pendant.
Now that he had truly arrived at the Duolu River, the warning from this pendant had disappeared… It seed that this little thing knew that persuasion was useless and could only accept the current situation.
A jolt.
The main control screen linked to the airship reflected Osmond’s face. As the Eye of the Third Legion, his expression was solemn, his voice low and resonant, echoing in everyone’s ears.
“Captains, we have arrived at the Disaster Realm. Everything is going smoothly, proceed as planned.”
The Duolu River Disaster Realm had a dozen or more branches.
To find the location of the [Gate], it’s essential to thoroughly investigate the surrounding environnts of these river branches… In a super large Disaster Realm enriched with Extraordinary Essence like this, there must be an entrance for absorbing Old World energy.
For these elite Transcendents executing the restart mission, finding the [Gate] should not be difficult.
However, as soon as they set foot in this Disaster Realm, the Spiritual Poison began to spread—
The challenge was how to complete the mission as quickly and efficiently as possible while minimizing losses!
Apart from the command airship, the holds of the other fourteen airships opened, and fourteen elite teams were ready to depart at any mont. So were eager… like Mu Wanqiu of the Investigation Corps’ first team, who, upon the first docking of the airship, led her team straight to the depths of the Disaster Realm toward the Duolu River!
…
…
“All team mbers… put on your Source Armor, check the energy, and prepare to set off!”
The mbers of Zhong Yuan’s Team had long completed their preparations. They ford up and were ready to leave the hold. The blond man standing at the hatch took a deep breath.
He glanced back at the team and saw Gu Shen’s figure, sowhat surprised.
“Brother Gu, do you intend to accompany us?”
For this restart mission, during the days of intensive training and preparation, each captain had received instructions from the Commander… they each had tasks to complete.
But there were exceptions.
One was Gu Shen.
The other exception was Duke Zhen Yue, ng Xiao.
These two might have other tasks… His Majesty granted them very high authority, and ng Xiao and Gu Shen did not have to follow Osmond’s arrangents. Of course, this didn’t an they could act recklessly within the Disaster Realm.
Gu Shen smiled and said, “Brother Zhong, am I not welco?”
“Of course not…”
Zhong Yuan shook his head, hesitating to speak: “It’s just that…”
During the airship’s journey, Zhong Yuan had stayed in the gravity room the whole ti training, and Gu Shen knew he had sothing on his mind.
“Are you going to look for that Mirror Dream Mountain you saw earlier?” Gu Shen lightly ran two fingers over his brow, igniting a small ghostly fla, and he smiled as he spoke, “Brother Zhong… I’m also interested in ‘Mirror Dream.’ If we could travel together, it would be good for both of us.”
Seeing the fla at Gu Shen’s fingertips.
The hearts of several team mbers were filled with warmth.
Although the fla was small, it emitted a comforting Spiritual Aura.
Zhong Yuan’s previously tense expression relaxed significantly… Indeed, Gu Shen’s S-level ability, although its effects were unknown, offered great help concerning Spiritual Dreams, and having Gu Shen join would certainly be beneficial.
“Captain… the Zhen Yue group’s people still haven’t set off yet.”
Yuan Yuan glanced at a nearby airship and whispered, “Mr. Xiao Gu should act with us instead.”
Zhong Yuan, being extrely astute, instantly understood Yuan Yuan’s point.
During these days at the training grounds, each team was busy with intensive training.
Rumors were flying everywhere, and he naturally heard so… If Gu Shen really went alone, the Zhen Yue party might be waiting to cause trouble for Gu Shen once inside the Disaster Realm.
Because of the concern caused by [Mirror Dream], it had slipped his mind earlier.
“I was negligent.” Zhong Yuan’s expression was grave as he spoke with a touch of apology, “If Brother Gu doesn’t mind, join us… entering the Disaster Realm this ti, where fortunes are uncertain, we can look out for each other.”
…
…
“Sir, they’ve set off.”
Zhen Yue sat in the boat.
All the way, like Gu Shen, he ditated and trained, honing his spirit… while combating a sense of foreboding.
The bracelet constantly shimred with images, presenting them before him when he set off.
It disturbed his mind.
ng Xiao, of course, knew that entering the Disaster Realm this ti would bring misfortune.
But so many images… seeing them all was truly ntally exhausting. This sealing object, while extraordinary, also had its drawbacks. If these “Calamity Divinations” were promptly corrected, they could prevent disasters and eliminate them.
