Chapter 1411: Non-fusion-type World Linking Device
Lin.
She simply left.
While she was inside the Wraith realm, she was able to simply disappear in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes and enter the angel world.
Gu Qing Shan was absolutely sure that Lin did not trigger the Wraith realm’s barrier when she left.
Which means—-
She’s still within the Wraith realm?
Or rather, the angel world is actually a part of the Wraith realm?
Gu Qing Shan tried thinking for a while but still couldn’t come up with anything to clear the situation up.
This couldn’t be helped, there were so many secrets within the infinite world, let alone a place like the Wraith realm that actively hid everything that it could.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then looked at the pocket watch in his hand.
This was a grey pocket watch with a thick cover, it seemed una.s.suming at a glance, constantly giving off a ticking noise.
As time pa.s.sed, so did the black clock hand on the face of the watch.
A second later, lines of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:
[Detected item: Non-fusion-type World Linking Device]
[This linking device had been prepared with the function to jump between completely sealed-off worlds]
[At certain fixed intervals, you are able to utilize this linking device to jump to another world connected to this current world]
[A Technological masterpiece!]
Gu Qing Shan looked at this ‘pocket watch’ and stood still.
Non-fusion-type World Linking Device…
The key lies within the words ‘Non-fusion-type’ and ‘Linking’.
Gu Qing Shan asked: “War G.o.d UI, what is ‘Non-fusion-type’? And what’s ‘Linking’?”
The War G.o.d UI deducted his Soul Points, then answered: [‘Non-fusion-type’ means the worlds that do not fuse with one another, they use their own unique method to create a closed-off cycle structure]
[Such linked worlds are governed by extremely strict travelling conditions that ensure no one is able to travel from one world to another]
[‘Linking’ is an exception to this rule, by fulfilling certain conditions unrelated to the official ones, one is able to jump between these linked worlds without restrictions]
[That is the end of the answer]
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a long while.
This answer included a great deal of information.
He suddenly recalled many things.
“A closed-off cycle structure…”
While thinking, he suddenly felt startled.
Isn’t the Samsara a world with essentially a closed-off cycle structure?
As for ‘Linking’, wouldn’t that mean that one would be able to jump from the Heaven realm to the Huang Quan realm, then from the Huang Quan realm to the Human realm?
Could it be——-
He took a closer look at the clock face.
Only to see the clock face had been divided into six scales, four among them having a corresponding symbol.
One of them was the face of a wraith.
The second of them was the wings of an angel.
One was a dark tunnel.
And the final symbol depicted a gate.
A gate that Gu Qing Shan had seen before.
—–the Gates of h.e.l.l!
At this point, the hand on the clock was pointing towards the angel wings.
Lines of glowing text appeared:
[Attention: Activating the Non-fusion-type World Linking Device right now will send you into the angel world]
[By spending 10,000 Soul Points, you will be able to directly jump to that world]
[Attention, once you jump to the angel world, you will temporarily be unable to return to the Wraith realm until enough time had pa.s.sed for the clock hand to point to the Wraith realm scale]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the face of the clock for a little bit and finally noticed that the hand of the clock was moving at the same rate as a normal clock.
In other words, at certain times in the day, this pocket watch is able to take me to a specific world as depicted here.
—–from how the watch was designed, it most likely originated from the Wraith realm.
It was most likely not an easy feat for the Eternal Abyss to obtain such a thing.
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan recalled a certain thing.
In Void City, when I was attacking the Church, the fake Yu Juan prepared to retreat.
What did he do at the time?
Right, he looked at the clock face on the wall, then said—–
…
“We’ve stalled for long enough, let’s first return to Heaven before we head to that place”
…
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
It’s quite clear now, that Holy Son of the angels was waiting for the time to enter the angel world that was connected to the Wraith realm.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt himself trembling.
This was a subconscious trembling.
On instincts alone, he was able to detect some sort of grand hidden secret being revealed to him bit by bit.
Initially, he had thought that the Wraith realm was only a fragmented Samsara world.
As he came to the Wraith realm, he discovered a large tunnel connected to numerous dying or dead worlds, leading to some unknown place.
When he believed that he had gotten a clear picture of the situation, Lin appeared.
She used a pocket watch to leave the Wraith realm and headed into the angel world.
And gave him this pocket watch.
There were a total of six scales, but only four worlds marked out.
What does this mean?
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Six scales, four of which had already connected to other worlds. Then, what do the two empty scales represent? War G.o.d UI, do you know?”
[Empty scales represent the fact that it still hasn’t connected to any worlds] the War G.o.d UI replied.
“In other words, the six scales were made in preparation for six worlds, four among them are ready, leaving only two worlds remaining” Gu Qing Shan said.
[Correct] the War G.o.d UI replied.
Six worlds.
The Samsara.
Could the wraiths be trying to create another Samsara?
What exactly are they trying to do?
When that Holy Son’s clone left, he told me something.
…
“The Era of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy is approaching, and we… are preparing to destroy the entire Samsara to fix the future era”
…
So far, that seems to be possible…
—–no, that can’t be.
Gu Qing Shan quickly realized something.
Xue Nu once said:
“…but now that the Eternal Abyss’ defeat is imminent, the three rulers would begin to compete for the status of the Wraith realm’s Warlord”
…
The position of Warlord within the Samsara is meant to prepare for the Samsara Clash for Supremacy in the future.
If they wanted to destroy the Samsara, why did they have to partic.i.p.ate in the Saint Selection and compete for the Warlord position?
Xue Nu was the subordinate of a Wraith Lord who was in the middle of a drinking bout, having just considered me a lackey on his side, so he most likely didn’t have a reason to deceive me.
While the Holy Son of the angels was cautious of me, so he had every reason to not tell the truth.
Gu Qing Shan pondered, then once again looked at the pocket watch.
——–the two empty scales of the clock face meant that there is a quota of two other worlds for them to fill.
Once these six worlds have formed a closed-off cycle structure, what would the wraiths attempt?
The more the thought about it, the more Gu Qing Shan felt fearful, as if he had fallen into boundless darkness.
The truth of this secret was too grand and too intricate, it was a plan countless years in the making with countless smaller calculations and machinations already prepared, slowly formulated over time.
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan was startled.
Within his inner sight, he saw countless wraiths from the sky to the ground performing a carpet-style search.
They were quickly approaching the airs.h.i.+p.
Shannu’s voice came: “Gongzi, the wraiths are about to arrive, should I turn into Chen Fifth?”
Gu Qing Shan hesitated.
Initially, he had intended to save Lin, then hide her on the airs.h.i.+p and secretly escape with her on the way to Wraith Lord Fate Obstruction’s estate.
I’ve managed to save Lin, but she also showed me this unbelievably grand secret.
What now?
Gu Qing Shan only thought for a brief moment.
“It’s ok, we can’t use this ident.i.ty anymore” he shook his head.
“Why not? Gongzi can disguise as Xue Nu, while I can take Chen Fifth’s place” Shannu doubtfully asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Xue Nu most likely had a considerably high position, as soon as he died, the people of the Wraith Lord’s estate would have already been notified—— we have to leave now”
“Then where should we go?” Shannu asked.
“Let me give it a try first” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Suddenly white fog manifested to envelop him, but then quickly faded away.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:
[Your World Technique: Fog Realm Descent, is restricted by the Laws of the closed-off cycle world structure, unable to bypa.s.s the Causality barrier]
[You cannot leave the current world to enter the Reality Wall tunnel]
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: “Sure enough, even I can’t bypa.s.s a closed-off cycle structure”
The sound of wraiths could now be heard from outside the airs.h.i.+p:
“This is Wraith Lord Fate Obstruction’s airs.h.i.+p”
“Where are the people inside?”
“They were part of the search team as well”
“Was there anyone else on the s.h.i.+p?”
“Let’s take a look”
Gu Qing Shan stopped hesitating and summoned white fog around himself again.
He disappeared.
…
In the depths of a mine.
A secluded branch of the mine.
The white fog faded away, revealing Gu Qing Shan’s figure.
