Chapter 1072: Reunion And Moving Forward

Gu Qing Shan held an emerald green leaf in his hand as he seriously listened to Laura.

“…And so, your Super Dimensional world is transporting some sort of equipment to you, stay there and wait for a little bit”

Laura explained to Gu Qing Shan.

“Then I’ll remain here for a short while” Gu Qing Shan smiled.

Laura’s concerned voice sounded from the leaf: “Up ahead is the Eternal Abyss, the Great Bramble Tree leaf’s positional sense of you will be blocked out by the power of the Abyss, so you need to be careful about yourself”

“Don’t worry” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Their communication ceased.

Gu Qing Shan’s airship slowed down and eventually stopped in the space vortex.

Not too long later.

Invisible spatial fluctuations appeared from the void.

A small interstellar warship silently appeared next to Gu Qing Shan.

“The warship’s design still hadn’t changed, huh…”

Observing the familiar warship design of his world, Gu Qing Shan sighed in reminiscent.

It’s been a very long time since I returned.

——-when can this war end?

One day, if true peace can be achieved, I really want to return to my homeworld and just enjoy a mundane life for a while.

While carefully observing the warship, he silently thought.

A screen of light suddenly appeared from a metallic cube inside the warship.

The screen displayed Gu Qing Shan’s appearance.

Lines of text swiftly appeared following that:

[Detected three flying swords hidden behind him in the void]

[Detected an extremely powerful defensive armament equipped to his body]

[Detected a cloak with power and movement concealment features]

[Detected a twine exuding Mystic-type presence on his wrist]

[Detected a legendary pendant: Life Exchange Contract]

[This is…]

[There’s no place for me at all…]

A worried female voice filled the inside of the metallic shell.

All of a sudden, the image on the screen zoomed in, focusing on Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.

[Material: Flaxen cloth]

[Preliminary assessment, he’s temporarily blind]

Outside the warship, Gu Qing Shan had just snapped himself out from his myriad thoughts.

He walked in front of the small interstellar warship and asked: “Are you the war equipment created by Impartial Goddess?”

An electronic voice resounded from the warship:

[Indeed, sir. I will need to authenticate your identity now]

The door of the warship opened.

“Alright”

Gu Qing Shan gladly replied.

He then went inside the small interstellar warship and performed the various checks for fingerprints, iris, blood sample, and brainwave.

The electronic voice resounded again:

[Identity authentication completed]

[Your Excellency Gu Qing Shan, please receive the greatest crystallization of a Technological civilization, created by Impartial Goddess]

“Greatest crystallization? Is that really what Impartial Goddess said?” Gu Qing Shan smiled.

The electronic voice remained completely emotionless and replied: [Indeed, this equipment was crafted from the existing scientific foundation of the Starlight Empire, Impartial Goddess’ accomplished improvement of 23 different technologies, combined with the support of over a dozen technological experts from the 900 million World Layers]

A metallic cube in the middle of the warship slowly opened.

To reveal a long, black piece of cloth.

A black piece of cloth?

Gu Qing Shan was a bit unsure.

He stood still.

The electronic voice resounded again: [Your Excellency, please replace the piece of cloth in front of your eyes with this]

Gu Qing Shan said: “That’s not the issue, I’m just——- is the greatest crystallization of science and technology just a piece of cloth?”

The electronic voice replied: [It has numerous uses, but a majority of them have yet to be put into official use. Furthermore, it should be quite beneficial to the injuries of your eyes]

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan undid the black cloth covering his eyes and replaced it with this new one.

Oong——–

An electronic voice sounded from the black cloth:

[Synchronizing brain waves]

[Synchronization completed]

[Conducting examination of your excellency’s eye injury. This will require an eye scan and blood sample, please forgive any discomfort]

[Sample collected, beginning analysis]

[…Through 79 analysis, the following conclusion has been drawn:]

[Your eye injury was a result of overuse, preliminary assessments suggested injuries were a result of enduring excessive load to construct a spell or technique]

[Treatment plan has been constructed]

[Beginning cellular regeneration and healing]

Gu Qing Shan started feeling a sense of coolness over his eyes.

A line of text appeared on the War God UI:

[Your eyes are currently undergoing treatment; your eyesight will return in an estimated time of 15 hours]

At the same time, Gu Qing Shan felt that he was now able to see.

The world was being clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

“This is… brainwave imaging technology? I remember there were still a few problems that haven’t been resolved, weren’t there?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[Your Excellency, all problems have been resolved] the electronic voice from the black cloth answered him.

Gu Qing Shan praised: “Impressive indeed”

The black cloth continued: [Your Excellency, this Super Dimensional equipment still contains a lot of unique functions, please conduct the appropriate tests and experiments after your treatment is over]

“Alright”

Gu Qing Shan replied and was about to board the airship Laura provided to continue on his way.

The black piece of cloth abruptly continued: [Your Excellency, your airship is too slow, please ride this newest model of interstellar warship——- its appearance wasn’t changed only because of the recent nostalgia trends]

Gu Qing Shan observed the interstellar warship, then back at his airship.

Before he even said anything, a flash of light emerged from the black cloth that scanned the airship from top to bottom.

[Your Excellency, I will help you store it] the black piece of cloth said.

“You can store things as well?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[Naturally. The creation of a unique subspace for item storage is one of the basic functions of this equipment]

…

Gu Qing Shan sat in the small interstellar warship and continued moving forward through the space vortex.

The warship was impressively fast and even occasionally performed long-distance spatial warp.

Each time, the scenery outside the warship would intensely warp.

——this was due to the extreme speed that caused the scenery to be stretched into a thin long string.

“Our warp technology matured to such a degree?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

The electronic voice replied: [Indeed, Your Excellency, all of it originally came from the achievements of the Starlight Empire’s civilization, it used to be the most Technologically advanced world within the Inner Plane]

A few moments later.

The flight speed gradually decreased.

He had passed through the Eternal Abyss, arriving at the other side of it.

Gu Qing Shan stowed the small interstellar warship away and stood alone at the border of the Abyss.

There was a small veranda here.

——-the Eternal Abyss is truly strange, why is there a red brick veranda at its outermost border?

Gu Qing Shan lightly stepped onto the red brick and no longer paid any attention to this.

He had serious business to attend to.

Taking out the 7-colored fragment, he waited for a few moments.

A sense of feedback quickly arrived from the fragment.

Forward.

Continue forward.

Through the Winds of Tribulation, towards the unknown and even beyond that, he would then reach the 7-colored spear Abaddon.

Gu Qing Shan randomly took out a spirit stone and tossed it into the darkness in front of him.

Hoh——-

With the sound of a gust of wind, the spirit stone swiftly vanished from his sight.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

This is the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation that can destroy everything.

How should I go past it?

All of a sudden, a flying figure appeared behind him from a distance.

This was a monkey-like Abyssal monster.

It soon arrived in front of Gu Qing Shan and slightly bowed, speaking in a strange tone: 「 Ally of the Abyss, I came representing the goodwill of the Abyss. If you have any questions regarding this area, you can ask me 」

Gu Qing Shan reciprocated the bow and asked: “How should I make it past this area of Winds of Chaotic Tribulation in front of us?”

The monster replied: 「 No creature can safely travel through the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation. If you must pass through the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation no matter what, you will have to slide down following the outermost layer of the Abyss 」

“You mean it would be safe to slide down the outermost layer of the Abyss?”

「 Indeed, the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation cannot reach the Abyss, as long as you stick close and continue to slide down until you reach the Ocean, you will be safe 」

“The Ocean?”

「 Indeed, the wind does not reach the Ocean. As long as you remain underwater, you will be able to avoid the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation 」

The monster continued: 「 But you must know where you are heading, otherwise you will lose your way within the Ocean 」

“Understood, thank you very much” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He walked up to the edge of the Abyss and trekked along the verge.

Sure enough, the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation within the darkness continuously howled, but would not reach the border of the Abyss, so he started to descend.

At some point, the wall behind Gu Qing Shan began to change, turning from brick to boiling magma.

As he continued heading downwards, the wall of the Eternal Abyss became a wall of flesh.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t feel that to be nauseating.

He simply focused on heading downwards, until he finally sensed an ocean around half a day later.

Gu Qing Shan slowed his descent and softly landed on the surface of the water.

He looked around.

The only to find the darkness of the void, as well as a never-ending howling wind, blowing on the surface of the water causing huge surging tidal waves.

Lines of text appeared on the black cloth in front of his eyes:

[Sea water composition normal, temperature -30 C (-22 F), no living lifeforms detected]

Gu Qing Shan listened and pondered: “That’s a bit cold…”

——he was naturally not afraid of the cold, but he didn’t like it.

He wielded the Chao Yin sword.

The seawater parted.

Gu Qing Shan flew under and made his way through the seawater below in the endless darkness at his maximum speed.

After flying for several hours without stopping under the water surface, he finally made it to the other side of the wall.

This wall began at the seabed and continued to stretch endlessly upward, making it hard to infer where it actually reached.

For now, Gu Qing Shan didn’t try to follow the wall upward.

Because this wall was simply something on his way according to the guidance of the 7-colored fragment.

——-and because of the lines of text being displayed on the black cloth:

[This wall was estimated to have existed over 500 million years. No traces of dead or spiritual lifeforms within a range of 300km. Miniscule dead cells of various lifeforms detected on the wall, through which the system concluded that many lifeforms have touched his wall at one point. Detected a residue of a summoning-type technique, the analysis suggested that a technique of this nature had recently been performed]

Gu Qing Shan then reached his hand out to touch the wall.

All of a sudden, the world seemed to have vanished.

Gu Qing Shan found himself standing within endless darkness.

An illusion?

While he was thinking that, Gu Qing Shan abruptly looked up.

Only to sense four clusters of light silently manifesting from the endless darkness above.

They slowly descended——-

Boom!!!

With a thunderous boom, the light stormed through the darkness and completely removed it from this world.

The four clusters of light stood at four corners, surrounding Gu Qing Shan.

They gradually manifested as four gigantic heads that were around 10 meters tall, silently staring at Gu Qing Shan.

A solemn voice declared from within the void:

「 Traveler from far, you must obey the Law of the Four Pillar Gods of the void in order to gain entry into the secret passage of the Dusty World 」

The four Pillar Gods of the void?

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then answered: “… I… will obey”
