Chapter 1473: The way to escape
The Laws of the World have been changed!
In the past, Law Behemoths were ent.i.ties that mortals can only gaze upon with awe.
The various Professionists can only borrow their powers; and only the strongest mortals, those from World Valley, would be able to form covenants and summon them.
But now, everyone can utilize the stars to converge power and surpa.s.s the Law Behemoths!
After realizing this, the group were shocked to no end.
“Shroud, can you still hear those strange voices?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Shroud froze briefly, then closed his eyes to carefully sense it.
A few moments later.
“I can hear them… they are all yelling, crying out, shouting, but they are only saying one thing” Shroud slowly explained.
Gu Qing Shan asked immediately: “What are they saying?”
Shroud opened his eyes with a hint of wariness and fear.
They looked at his companions and told them in a low voice: “They are yelling that the Gate is about to be opened!”
Reneedol calmly asked: “What exactly are those ent.i.ties who are talking?”
“I don’t know” Shroud shook his head.
“Could it be, they are the ones who killed all the Law Behemoths?” as soon as Scarlet said this, she abruptly covered her mouth, her back soaked in cold sweat.
If that was the truth, that is terrifying.
Shroud and Reneedol’s expressions both changed.
Gu Qing Shan, on the other hand, knows that wasn’t the case.
—–they were the Awaitings.
The Samsara broke through, causing a small gap to appear in the Reality Gate, and this gap was gradually widening.
In that case, wouldn’t that mean that the Awaitings and countless Apocalypses are rus.h.i.+ng in right now?
Carefully thinking about this, Gu Qing Shan noticed something else.
——[Siming] took the lives of all the Law Behemoths as well as countless living beings, but it was killed by a single strike from s.h.i.+fu.
Perhaps, the one who caused this change was indeed s.h.i.+fu?
She wanted to help the people of this world to grow stronger.
After all, the Reality Gate was about to be pushed completely open!
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then gazed back onto the table.
The food and drinks had been cleaned completely out; everyone had had their fill.
“Shroud, we can’t stall any longer, let’s begin” he said.
“Got it” Shroud agreed.
Reneedol looked at them and asked: “What are you planning to do?”
Shroud replied: “Rhode felt that we wouldn’t be able to escape from those three’s pursuit, so he came up with a different solution”
“What solution?”
“This—–”
Shroud lightly tapped his finger on the void of s.p.a.ce.
Bam!
A small green pixie the size of a thumb appeared in front of everyone.
“Shroud, you’re finally calling me out to play?” the green pixie happily asked.
“Yes, it’s not only playing but also because some people are chasing after us, so we wanted to find a place to hide” Shroud replied.
The green pixie appeared to realize something and puffed out his chest: “Then you’ve found the right person, as long as we pixies want to hide, no one could find us!”
Seeing that, Reneedol sighed in relief: “So that was it, the pixies are masters at hiding, so there are definitely no better candidate to help us”
Hearing Reneedol speak, the green pixie turned to her and called out: “Ah, it’s you. Before, Shroud spent quite a bit of effort to save your life”
Reneedol smiled and replied: “That’s right, I heard that he also asked for your help at the time”
The green pixie grinned: “Of course he did, there are nothing better at saving people compared to our Quipcraft”
He jumped down from the table, walked to a corner of the bar, stood next to a wooden table, then lightly knocked on the ground with his hand.
A few moments later.
A cautious voice came from underground: “Who is it?”
The green pixie lowered his voice and said: “It’s me”
The voice underground appeared relax a bit and said: “Ah, it’s you”
“That’s right, it’s me”
“But them, who exactly are you?”
“I’m me, why does this secret pa.s.sage have such a complicated question, which idiot set up the question here?” the green pixie urged the other party.
“Sorry, sorry!” the other voice hurriedly apologized.
The floor parted ways to display a flight of stairs that led underground.
“Follow me” the green pixie turned around and told them.
The group of four quickly stood up and followed him underground.
After they went down, the floor quickly closed back up, once again covered in a thin layer of dust, not a single trace could be seen.
Gu Qing Shan’s group followed the stairs into a large hall.
This place was filled with pixies, about over a thousand of them.
They were all lying on the ground, completely motionless and gave off no breathing.
The green pixie covered his eyes and sighed emotionally:
“Oh my G.o.d, this is terrible”
The group all hung their heads.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: “Please don’t be too sorro——”
Hic!
A loud hiccup came from among the pixies.
Gu Qing Shan paused and looked towards that direction.
Still nothing to be seen.
Those pixies still gave off no breathing, still motionless, still lying on the ground.
The green pixie told them: “Don’t pay attention to them, they’re current in the middle of a drinking and playing dead compet.i.tion, they’re currently impersonating corpses, they can’t move or talk—– let’s go”
Shroud couldn’t help but ask: “Then why did you say ‘this is terrible’ earlier?”
The green pixie looked at him strangely and naturally replied: “I was helping them add to the mood”
Everyone was speechless.
This couldn’t be helped, no one could ever tell what the pixies would do next.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and asked: “Yesterday night, quite a few living beings on the surface seemed to have vanished, did any pixies go missing as well?”
The green pixie replied: “That huh? I asked my uncle’s maternal auntie’s younger brother’s wife’s uncle’s aunt’s elder sister’s elder brother’s father’s brother-in-law, he said that his mother’s elder sister’s playmate’s grandfather’s friend’s son’s brother’s grandmother said that something did happen last night, but this occurrence didn’t affect us pixies”
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
——with that level of relations, I can understand why [Siming] didn’t affect you now.
The green pixie brought the four of them through the great hall, then headed straight underground and finally reached a golden-clad train station.
“Two minutes left until the train arrives” the green pixie said.
“We’re going to leave on a train?” Shroud asked.
The green pixie took out four train tickets and gave them to each of them.
He said: “Of course, this is the best method to avoid pursuit, the Quipcraft train will take you away underground, it’s really fast, so it’ll take you straight to—– erm, please check each of your tickets to see which stop it’ll be”
The four of them looked down, the text on the ticket reads:
[Drinking and playing dead compet.i.tion venue – Scavenger station]
Shroud said: “It seems we’re heading to the Scavenger station”
The green pixie was surprised: “What? You’re heading to Scavenger station? Tsk tsk, I wonder what you’re all thinking!”
Shroud: “…”
Gu Qing Shan said: “But you gave us these tickets”
The green pixie shrugged: “That isn’t under my control, the tickets have a Quipcraft that would automatically choose a suitable place for everyone”
Choo—– chugga chugga chugga!
The sound of a train resounded from afar.
“Alright, to the Scavenger station you go. Perhaps you’ll get lucky there” the green pixie said.
“Wait a moment, what kind of place is the Scavenger station exactly?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The green pixie tapped his foot and answered: “It’s a garbage dump, quite close to the ruins of the previous civilization. We would occasionally take some strange and useless items there to make extremely fair exchanges with other races”
“What’s the previous civilization?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.
“Didn’t you pay attention in history cla.s.s?” the pixie appeared to hold him in disdain, then answered: “The underground depths would naturally hide the ruins of the Pantheon. It’s the entire world discarded by those cowardly deities before they fled somewhere”
“However, there’s been some strange and unusual things that have fallen from the sky recently, we pixies are currently sorting the trash out over there to see what can be used and what can’t be used. It’s quite lively over there right now”
“—–There’s no harm in letting you take a look”
