Chapter 207: Doubts From the Ancient Book
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Luoshui City, everyone was in high spirits. After obtaining corresponding equipment, they had improved accordingly.
Even Huang Di, who had obtained nothing, was excited by everyone’s improvement.
Gu Changqing, who had obtained the Space Scythe, finally used it to easily cut through the barriers Huang Di had helped set up.
Gu Changqing had a plan in his heart. The improvement of divine rune equipment to an individual also depended on that person’s own strength.
Although there were still many weapons in the arsenal, Gu Changqing did not intend to continue to delay things here for too long.
It had been more than a month since he had arrived in Luoshui from Chaoge. There was still some time before Universe City closed, so exploring more of the main cities was the top priority.
Thus, Gu Changqing instructed L9526 to continue guarding Luoshui City.
He then brought Huang Di and the others out of the city again, heading to the third main city, Zhulu.
He recalled back to the divine rune energy crystals he had obtained in Chaoge City, which had increased his potential index.
Then, he went to Luoshui City to obtain equipment from the weapon arsenal. This was to increase his divine rune strength.
Then, what kind of new opportunities would he obtain in Zhulu City?
The ancient sages had provided opportunities for the human race’s future heirs to increase their strengths.
Gu Changqing suddenly remembered the ancient book he had obtained from the Shenyu Clan. With a thought, the book appeared in his hand from the space ring.
On the first page, a group of people were looking up at the sky. On the second one, humans were fighting all kinds of monsters.
On the third page, a huge city was flying.
On the fourth page, destructive light descended from the sky, and the humans in the city were turned to ashes by it.
On the sixth page, an unknown creature was holding a giant egg in its hand.
On the final seventh page, it was only blank. There were no drawings on it.
Gu Changqing could already completely understand the first five pages.
He had encountered space beasts and Dark Divine Runemasters in Universe City’s outskirts. Then, he stepped onto Rebirth Bridge and entered the first main city. There, he met an Otherworldly Demon.
The war between humans and Otherworldly Demons seemed to be what the first five pages were about. However, on the sixth page, the unknown creature holding the giant egg still made Gu Changqing confused.
The creature only showed its back, and only an illusory outline could be seen. On the other hand, the giant egg in its hand also seemed rather abstract, and it was impossible to determine what it was.
What kind of message did the ancient sages want to pass on to their descendants?
Why couldn’t they have expressed it directly?
Gu Changqing couldn’t help but complain. The truth seemed to be just a little bit away from being revealed. However, he was stuck at this point.
He was very curious. What kind of undefeatable existence was the enemy of those experts from Blue Star’s origin?
As they headed to Zhulu, the barren land began to turn lush and green. It was no longer lifeless. The deeper they went into the city, the less damaged the surroundings were.
In Universe City’s outskirts.
In the wilderness, countless space beasts roared. However, they were not ferocious roars, but wails from fleeing.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
On the ground and in the sky, countless ice lotuses bloomed. The ice swept across the ground, and countless space beasts that could not escape in time instantly turned into ice sculptures.
Creak… Creak…
A shattering sound that made one’s teeth ache rang, and the frozen space beasts turned into ice crystal fragments.
On the frozen land, countless divine rune energy fragments floated up.
“Retract!”
With a low groan, the fragments flew toward two figures that were slowly walking over from the wilderness.
A pale white figure was staggering. Beside him was a graceful woman. The woman said leisurely, “I didn’t expect you to lose so miserably!”
“Shut up!”
The white shadow cursed without holding back. At this moment, water droplets kept dripping down his face, as if he could melt in the next moment.
“How much more do you need to absorb before you can recover?”
The woman who was speaking was Diqin Naxi.
“Do you think that you can escape from me just because I’m heavily injured?”
The white shadow smiled darkly and grabbed Diqin Naxi’s hair, pulling her into his arms.
“I can easily save you, but I can also easily crush you to death!”
As he spoke, his other hand moving around her voluptuous body. Diqin Naxi’s expression was calm, as if she didn’t care about the white shadow doing whatever he wanted.
Despite that, there was strong hatred deep in her eyes.
“Do you feel resentful? Do you want revenge?”
The white figure’s fingers slid across her beautiful neck and touched her lips.
“Then defeat me and kill me. Hahaha. I’ll be waiting!”
Hecasually pushed her away. Caught off guard, Diqin Naxi fell to the ground.
The divine rune energy crystals were casually condensed and absorbed into the white shadow’s body.
Feeling that his strength had recovered a little, he sensed another place where the space beasts gathered. He dragged his weak legs and walked step by step. Diqin Naxi looked at his back as countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
In the end, she gave up.
With her current cultivation, she was no match for him. At this moment, she could only endure. Only by doing so could she live and take revenge.
The white shadow was already on her kill list. Thinking of this, Diqin Naxi unconsciously licked her lips, as if she had thought of something delicious.
In the outskirts, the battle between the space beasts and the Divine Runemasters continued endlessly.
The news of breakthroughs kept coming from them.
In an ancient city’s ruins, two Divine Runemasters had killed the last space beast there. They collected thousands of divine rune energy fragments of different colors.
One of them said, “Big Brother, I’ve used up all the divine rune energy fragments in the previous city. This time, you can absorb all the ones here.”
The Divine Runemaster who was addressed as ‘Big Brother’ nodded his head. He sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the fragments. The other creature vigilantly observed his surroundings in case something unexpected happened.
The two of them helped each other along the way, constantly killing space beasts and increasing their strength through the divine rune energy fragments.
In just a short month, the two of them had already advanced from tier 55 to 70. Such terrifying improvement speed was something that could never happen in the original universe outside of Universe City.
But here, it was as simple as eating and sleeping.
As time passed by, the aura of the Divine Runemaster sitting cross-legged rose steadily. Soon after, a powerful pressure was unleashed.
The other one who was guarding at the side immediately congratulated him.
“Congratulations for breaking through to tier 71, Big Brother!”
However, what he received in response was silence. Despite that, he didn’t suspect anything. He thought that the other party was just familiarizing himself with the changes after his advancement.
The Divine Runemaster he addressed as ‘Big Brother’ slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering as if he was struggling in a daze.
All of a sudden, a devilish smile appeared on his face, and killing intent rose in his eyes..
