Chapter 300: Iced

Gu Qing Shan turned his Holo-Brain on and began to enter the necessary data.

There’s a few dozen types of material needed to repair Chao Yin Sword, all of which are rare and hard to come by, so Gu Qing Shan wasn’t sure if this world had all of them.

As an ancient sword forged by Divinity from Shen Wu world, even the cultivation world wasn’t necessarily going to have all the materials it needs.

He can only try every method he had right now.

“Black Mystic Ore, jet black in appearance, rough surface, shines in fire, curls into a ball in water”

“Pressurized Chill Iron, comes from at least 10,000 meters below sea, at least 100,000 years old, interweaving green and blue on the outside, expands in high heat”

“Sun Moon Blood, the core of an asteroid, transparent, glows dimly, once formed it never gets corroded”

…

About 10 minutes later, Gu Qing Shan finally inputted all the materials that Chao Yin Sword required into the Holo-Brain.

“I’ll have to trouble you. Most of these materials are likely not sold anywhere in the world, you’ll need to manually search for them to find them”

[Please don’t worry sir, I will quickly deploy robots to search for them] Impartial Goddess replied.

Gu Qing Shan then shifted his attention to the world.

“Impartial Goddess, has there been any strange occurrences in the world?” he asked.

[Please wait] Impartial Goddess replied.

On the planet, at every location with a human settlement, all devices capable of recording footage turned on without a sound, silently viewing the situation around them.

Occasionally, there were sea creatures that invaded the land, but against these mindless monsters, humans have already gained enough experience and found the most efficient way to deal with them.

There were still no methods to permanently cull the Man Eater Fiends, but the corresponding defensive measures had been taken.

Professionists and Mechs have formed teams, constantly monitoring any changes at their local areas.

Human society had suffered great losses, but they’re gradually reestablishing order.

There were no anomalies anywhere in the world.

Impartial Goddess eyes returned to space.

She was using the hundreds of satellites to observe the entire planet at once, including the situation around the planet.

In the cold void of space.

All the terrifying space monsters slowly moved among the stars, dragging their gigantic bodies larger than the planets along.

None of the monsters discovered the human planet.

Impartial Goddess then began to operate the weather satellites to observe the planet’s meteorology.

Following the hail, the weather was getting colder and colder, overall temperatures were dropping as rivers and lakes around the world started to freeze.

Ice was forming on top of outdoor lakes and ponds.

This is a very natural phenomenon, a natural weather cycle without any abnormalities.

After paying attention for a few more minutes, confirming that other bodies of water were also the same, Impartial Goddess got out of the satellites.

However, at a place where machines couldn’t possibly observe.

At the bottom of a large river, in a pocket of water outside of the flowing current.

Small flakes of ice were starting to form.

The ice formed so slow that even the fish that swam by didn’t notice it at all.

Back in the desert.

[Currently no anomalies have been discovered] Impartial Goddess reported to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan doesn’t know what to look for either.

How strange, is it really just a coincidence?

But then, nothing like this ever happened in the past life though?

He was still a bit suspicious.

Maybe it really was just a coincidence.

“If anything out of the ordinary happens, be prepared to contact me” Gu Qing Shan said.

This was the only choice they have for now.

[Rest assured sir, you will definitely be the first person I report to] Impartial Goddess said.

[On the other hand, there is something happening in outer space that I have to report]

“What is it?”

[A small-sized Interstellar Warship is requesting access to the S.W. Divine Temple]

“Have you identified them?”

[They are all registered Confederate military officers]

“What do they want to do?”

[I’ve issued a warning, but they said they were here for the periodic machinery maintenance]

Gu Qing Shan asked: “According to the corresponding procedures, the S.W. Divine Temple uses automated robots to maintain and repair itself, manual maintenance is only supposed to happen once every few years ——could it be time already?”

[They are right on time, but the personnel are very different from previous trips]

“Did you notice any problems?”

[This time, aside from space machinery experts, there is also a very powerful Professionist among them]

Impartial Goddess extracted the personnel profiles investigation and certification data, one of which was circled in red.

[Navy Colonel Zhang Yong, a 4th stage God’s Chosen with the ability to create miniature personal sub-spaces]

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan scowled.

Normally, those that participate in the S.W. Divine Temple maintenance had always been nothing but technical experts, why did a Professionist join them this time?

What exactly do they want to do?

Impartial Goddess spoke: [I’m about to reject their visit, do you have any suggestions sir?]

Gu Qing Shan thought about it, then answered: “How about we try to see their motives instead”

[Please make the arrangements sir]

“Find an official reason and have them wait. Initiate the S.W. Divine Temple’s manufacturing robots, we’re going to create an illusion for them”

[Yes sir]

“Also, bring me up to the nearest orbital station, that’ll be more convenient for me to support you at any time”

[Yes sir]

…

A few minutes later.

The small-sized Interstellar Warship.

“How is it? Did Impartial Goddess give us permission to go on board?” the commanding officer asked.

The communication officer replied: “Impartial Goddess has approved, but right now the S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress is currently undergoing a procedural self-check. We can go on board in about 35 minutes”

“Is this normal?” the commanding officer asked one of the experts.

“Very normal, the longest we ever had to wait was about a day and a half for this” the expert answered.

“You’re the expert, I’ll trust your words” the commanding officer nodded.

About 35 minutes later.

The small-sized Interstellar Warship started up and entered the S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress.

13 maintenance staff wearing uniforms got off the Warship and into the S.W. Divine Temple.

After a lot of strict verifications and tests, from hair samples to their work tools, confirming that there wasn’t any danger, they finally got approved to enter the middle section of the S.W. Divine Temple.

Deep inside the S.W. Divine Temple, 18 Blazing Angel Mechs armed to the teeth were waiting.

Once there are any abnormal occurrences, they will be responsible for culling the problem.

These people didn’t do anything suspicious at all.

They very faithfully did their job, even the navy colonel acted according to procedures.

Seems like he had also gone through rigorous training with operating the machines as well.

Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the screen, observing the colonel.

“Let me see exactly what you’re trying to do”

Under his scrutinizing eyes, the man worked on his part of the job meticulously, only wiping his sweat once for over 4 hours.

Gu Qing Shan also stood still for 4 hours without moving.

After 4 hours, the crew had finished their maintenance and left on the small-sized Interstellar Warship by which they came.

“At 3 hours, 37 minutes, 59 seconds, he seems to have dropped something in the vicinity to the large power supply integration system” Gu Qing Shan said.

[Searching for corresponding footage] Impartial Goddess replied [Extracting corresponding footage]

On the screen, the navy colonel had just finished up one of his duties, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his neck.

He was standing right next to Impartial Goddess’ energy pool.

“Stop” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

The scene stopped.

“Zoom in on his right hand”

The scene focused on the man’s right hand.

A small black box was being palmed in his hand.

“Forward 1 second”

The scene didn’t change at all.

But the black box in his hand had disappeared.

“Rewind 2 seconds”

There was nothing in his hand.

“How interesting” Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed.

When he came into the S.W. Divine Temple, he took nothing with him.

But he used his God’s Chosen Skill to create a miniature sub-space to bring a small item that could be hidden in his hand and snuck it in here.

[Unable to determine what the object is, or where it had gone]

“Me too”

[What should we do now sir?]

“He definitely created a sub-space somewhere around that place, and that object is right inside that subspace right now” Gu Qing Shan said.
