Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The atmosphere in the Time Box soared, and everyone was stunned.
Zhang Hu’s eyes widened in shock. “Boss, you said less than 40,000. That’s way too strong!”
Vermilion Bird laughed. “I wonder who was the one that didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking that he can be compared to Boss. I wonder if his face hurts from embarrassment now?”
Zhao Feng and Wu Rui couldn’t close their mouths from laughing. “As expected of our Boss. His strength to crush the universe is really not for show!”
Qi Yuna didn’t speak, but she looked at Gu Changqing with eyes full of admiration. His strength was unmatched. They all felt incomparably honored to be able to become his subordinates!
Isabelle, who was absent-minded, felt her heart boil. The first thing she thought of was her former boss, Mark Relin. If he was willing to listen to her advice and stand firmly on Blue Star’s side, he would not have fallen to such a state today. She could not help but sigh as she felt the pure power in the crystal.
If Mark Relin was here, he would never give up his position as the leader of the new platform. With him alone, perhaps he would never come to the front of the stage, nor would he get the opportunity to be appreciated by Gu Changqing. For a time, her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and her progress in absorbing the divine rune energy crystal also slowed down.
After the shock, everyone felt a little ashamed of themselves. When Zhang Hu fought against the forces on Blue Star, he clearly felt that his current strength had increased by leaps and bounds. He was confident and proud at the same time. He thought that he could catch up to his boss, but the gap of nearly 20,000 potential points made him gasp.
Zhao Feng and Wu Rui’s personalities were relatively reserved, but at this moment, the expressions on their faces also became somewhat complicated. As the Star Emperor, Gu Changqing’s strength had reached the peak. However, he was still racing against time to think of a way to cultivate. They definitely could not fall behind and become a burden to him.
Emperor Qin rushed over from Mount Kunlun and was a little late. The moment he entered the Time Box, he happened to hear Gu Changqing announce his potential index. He was immediately stunned. Looking at the others’ reactions, he suddenly felt some inexplicable guilt.
A billion years ago, he, Emperor Qin, was the strongest man in the entire universe and the human race’s hope. He had the strength to sweep across the universe, and the halo above his head was not inferior to the current Gu
Changqing. However, he had been played by a woman and even destroyed Blue Star, destroying the hope of the human race’s rise. From then on, all his pride and glory were trampled under his feet, and he sank into the abyss.
After he was resurrected, the only thing he could show was the strength that he was proud of. However, in the current Blue Star, his strength was at most acceptable. The experts in the universe kept changing, and they were so fast it was overwhelming.
Emperor Qin had died for a billion years. Although his strength was not low, he was still outdated. Especially when he saw the strength of Gu Changqing’s men in Blue Star’s battle not long ago, he suddenly became alert. The times abandoned this man without even greeting him.
Moreover, Zhang Hu and the others were weaker than him in the past, but now they had surpassed him. After Huang Di returned from Universe City, his strength had clearly improved. He was also a former human emperor. Due to this, he felt that he was no longer on the same level as him. However, his bit of pride had completely vanished at this moment. After a moment of absent-mindedness, his eyes darkened as he made a decision in his heart.
Emperor Qin respectfully came to Gu Changqing and asked, “Your Excellency
the Star Emperor, may I know why you ordered me to come here?”
“I found Zhulu City when I was separated from everyone in Universe City.” Gu Changqing didn’t hide anything.
“Boss, are you kidding me?” Zhang Hu shouted in surprise. “Senior Huang and I have searched for many days, but other than a river, we couldn’t even find the ruins of a city!”
Zhao Feng, Vermillion Bird, and the others also agreed, “We were so worried, Boss!”
Qi Yuna seemed to have thought of something and said curiously, “Have you forgotten? Senior Huang said that Boss is a person with great luck. He will only be hindered by some fortuitous encounter and will definitely be fine. Now, it seems that Senior’s judgment was correct.”
Gu Changqing expected them to be extremely anxious at that time, so he briefly told them what happened in Zhulu County. But in the end, he didn’t mention the Heavenly Punishment. Instead, he emphasized the totem pillars he found in the forbidden area.
“There, you can find most of the totems that have been passed down from ancient times. These totems stand in the shape of stone pillars in a cave.”
“I wasn’t sure if they were related to the power of divine runes that we awakened, but when I tried to communicate with the totems, I realized that they might be one of the sources of that power.”
“The reason why my potential index can reach such a high level is because most of my divine runes have reached a 100% affinity with the totems.”
Gu Changqing’s honesty immediately solved the mystery in everyone’s heart.
“I knew that wherever Boss goes, the heavens will help him. It seems like our worries were unnecessary,” said Zhang Hu excitedly.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Whether you’re worried or not, Boss won’t be affected, okay?” Wu Rui bluntly rebuked Zhang Hu.
Zhao Feng quickly acted as the peacemaker, “What are you arguing about? Listen to Boss.”
Vermillion Bird was calmer than the others. She thought for a while before asking, “Boss, in that case, where have you seen totems that correspond to all of our divine runes?”
Gu Changqing nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he happened to see Emperor Qin’s gloomy expression and changed the topic. “Emperor Qin, what are you thinking of?”
“A secret about myself.” Emperor Qin said hoarsely.
Everyone was very surprised. Isabelle no longer had the mood to absorb the pure power in the crystal. She propped her ears and listened carefully.
Gu Changqing was very puzzled. He sized up Emperor Qin and asked, “What secret?”
Emperor Qin was slightly hesitant. He sighed softly. “Actually, the me that you see is only a resurrected clone. My main body has already disappeared a billion years ago.”
As soon as he said this, it could be said that a stone had fallen into the middle of the lake. Everyone’s eyes fell on him, carefully judging whether he was a normal person or not.
He did not mind and continued thoughtfully, “Although it sounds unbelievable, this clone has no way of knowing where my main body is now.”
“I only remember that a billion years ago, this clone received an urgent message from the main body. Ever since this message, the main body has not responded.”
“During this period of time, I’ve tried to contact my main body more than once in Mount Kunlun, but to no avail. It has disappeared!”
Gu Changqing’s eyebrows twitched a few times.
He vaguely felt that what Emperor Qin was going to say next was probably related to the origin of divine rune power..
