Chapter 1005: Chapter 160: Teacher, Senior Brother, Senior Sister (Third Update)

This is the answer that Purple Rain seeks.

Convey this, and it’s enough.

In today’s East Continent, there aren’t many people who serve as a greater “link” than Gu Shen.

He alone is capable of connecting the two super regions, South and North, which were originally incompatible, as well as the intricate family relations within Changye.

“Lord of the Legion…”

Gu Shen was just about to speak.

But Purple Rain interrupted him, smiling, “In the future, there’s no need to be so formal. You, like them, can call me ‘Aunt Wen’. ”

They, meaning… Lin Chou, Lin Lin?

Gu Shen hurriedly agreed, smiling a bit, feeling quite flattered.

A figure appeared on the attic at some point.

Someone appeared at an opportune moment and remarked meaningfully, “It’s really a warm scene, I should perhaps stay a little longer with my sister.”

Listening to this tone, there’s a hint of jealousy.

“Get down here quickly.”

Purple Rain said impatiently, “Xiao Gu has been waiting for a long time.”

Lin Lin helplessly walked down from the second floor, smiling and joking, “Gu Shen, what kind of spell did you cast on Aunt Wen? During the time at the Duolu River, she frequently connected to the main ship to inquire about your safety…”

In the Spirit Sea, Chu Ling said softly, “I can attest to that.”

She couldn’t enter the deep-sea Broken Chain Zone like the Duolu River Disaster Realm.

But the Lord of the Legion’s communication link, Chu Ling heard it clearly.

It seems this Lord of the Legion… really cares a lot about him.

That day in the courtyard, it could also be seen that Aunt Wen’s [Dragon Annihilation] held nothing back.

Gu Shen gratefully looked at Purple Rain, and the latter waved a hand, indicating not to worry, “Come, I’ll take you to see Her Majesty the Empress.”

The second visit to the attic.

Standing outside the Melting Furnace Divine Domain, Gu Shen still felt a bit nervous.

He came to the North Continent… to find the whereabouts of his teacher and senior sister, having already undertaken the mission beyond the Gu Castle and visited the Duolu River Disaster Realm, but there was still no news of the teacher and senior sister.

The golden spike flowers searched for nothing in the Old World, relying on them seems to be a long way off.

Now… the last hope rests on the Empress.

He took a gentle breath.

Exchanged a glance with Purple Rain.

The majestic surge of fire rose fiercely on the second floor of the pavilion, the cape on the shoulder of the legion commander absorbing the sea of fire spilling through the gaps, her eyebrows and long hair were wildly whipped by the blazing wind, for a moment transforming into a flame god.

In the [Dragon Annihilation] domain.

Purple Rain made a gesture of invitation, once again opening the door of the attic for Gu Shen.

The core area of the Melting Furnace Divine Domain remained cold.

The mist floating in the air seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Perhaps due to the battle with the traveler, a lot of the “Great Cold’s intent” was consumed… Gu Shen even got an illusion, feeling at this moment standing at the entrance, that he could see clearly the face of the Empress on the throne.

But this illusion flashed and vanished.

Because the woman on the throne truly cast her gaze.

Thus this close distance turned into a world apart.

As long as the Empress doesn’t want to be seen.

Then no mundane thing in this world can see her Divine Face.

Gu Shen bowed deeply, cutting straight to the point, “My purpose in seeking this audience is to inquire about…”

In the Divine Domain, the gentle voice of the Empress picked up Gu Shen’s words, “You want to inquire about the whereabouts of the [Sky-reaching Tree] and [Heavenly Eye].”

Gu Shen was slightly stunned.

He straightened up, saying deeply, “Yes.”

Actually, there’s also the senior brother Zhong Wei… but the senior brother’s cultivation realm is far behind compared to these two, it’s likely Her Majesty the Empress wouldn’t remember the senior brother’s name…

“You are the disciple of Qianye, the inheritor of the ‘Divination Skill.'”

The Empress said gently, “Since that’s the case, you should understand that some matters cannot be divined with the ‘Divination Skill’…” Follow current novᴇls on novel[f]ire.net

Gu Shen’s heart tensed up.

The Empress continued word by word, “For example, the events of the [Old World].”

There are many matters that the Divination Skill cannot foretell.

For example, the Divine Throne that forges the Power of Fire, is an “forbidden existence” where countless Extraordinary Essence converge in mass. Once you attempt to peep in, you will face backlash.

And the [Old World] is also not within the domain of divination.

If you use divination skill to observe [Old World], you’ll find it shrouded in thick mist, making it impossible to see clearly; everything you wish to divinate is obscured by gray haze—

“I’m sorry, it’s the Extraordinary Iron Law… I cannot defy it either.”

This answer from Her Majesty the Empress suddenly crushed the last sliver of hope Gu Shen held. He originally thought perhaps the ‘Foreseeing Skill’ crafted by Her Majesty differed from Qingzhong’s divination skill.

Without waiting for Gu Shen to respond.

The woman on the Throne spoke again, “Some matters do not necessarily require ‘divination’ or ‘foreseeing’ to find the answer—”

Gu Shen suddenly raised his head.

This time, he confirmed… he noticed the expressions of Her Majesty on the Throne.

The Empress was smiling at him at that moment.

He faintly sensed some “malice” from the Empress.

Those words just now were “intentional”—

Gu Shen’s expression turned quirky.

He recalled the tone when Gu Changzhi mentioned the Empress in Pure Land years ago… That little girl from Lin Family seems to have grown up to become the great Empress who now controls North Continent, yet she was once a mischievous child.

The Empress lightly tapped the Throne with her finger.

In the Melting Furnace Divine Domain, the ice and snow flew, revealing a “steaming hot” scene of the inferno.

At this moment, the Empress used Divine Power to transform the scene of the Melting Furnace in the Underground Research Institute!

The inside of the Melting Furnace supporting Central City to float in the air was like a volcano.

Continuously, lava rolled and bubbles burst.

The “traveler” huddled within… It curled up like a hibernating bear, shrinking in the corner of the volcanic furnace, with divine power rolling and dark tides surging, its entire body covered by a hard shell. This hastily formed skin effectively combats the volcano’s erosion.

But unfortunately, this thick armor couldn’t prevent the Empress from extracting power from its body and sending it to the reactor of the Underground Research Institute.

These divine powers, constantly differentiated by the institute, layer by layer, dispersed and extracted, finally delivered to the earth.

Looking at this terrifying huge monster, Gu Shen couldn’t help but recall the terrifying scene encountered in the Underground Research Institute days ago.

“Relax, the incident of escaping the [Melting Furnace] won’t happen again.”

The Empress glanced at Gu Shen and said, “This ‘big guy’ has completely fallen asleep.”

“As you have seen, to combat the [Melting Furnace], it is using a very foolish method for defense.”

The Empress said softly, “The traveler can traverse and survive in the [Old World] for years, relying not just on the ‘Power of Fire’, all creatures of this clan can adapt quickly to changes in the environment, even the lowest tier ‘Bone-winged Creatures’ can evolve for specific environments in just a few minutes. From our perspective, this is an incredible thing.”

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes…

He had seen the ancient language on the stone wall and knew that the travelers were ancient humans abandoned in the [Old World]. Without developing this unimaginable ability, they would have been swept away by the storm and annihilated in extreme environments, leaving not a trace of bone ash.

Gu Shen was somewhat puzzled.

The [traveler] might be the most perfect creature he has ever seen.

Even while imprisoned, it still evolved a thick armor to resist the volcanic waves from the [Melting Furnace]. Entering a deep sleep mode at the moment also seems like a smart move… It’s reducing its consumption, trying to hold out as long as possible.

But why did Her Majesty the Empress say such behavior is “foolish”?

“I’m not interested in the [traveler]’s physical body…”

The Empress stated calmly, “Soon you’ll understand, no matter how long it can persist, it doesn’t matter… I’m interested in its ‘spirit’, what matters to me is what’s contained in its mind.”

Gu Shen paused for a moment, not quite understanding the first half of this sentence.

But the meaning of the latter half, he fully comprehended!

“Did you… invade its spirit sea?”

This ‘big guy’, due to its perfect evolutionary instinct, has fallen into sleep in the [Melting Furnace]… I successfully invaded its spirit sea.” The Empress said calmly, “If I can uncover the [ancient language] from the traveler clan, that would be the biggest gain, but unfortunately, its spirit sea is fragmented, the information extracted is very limited… As for the clues regarding the [ancient language], they’re almost nonexistent.”

Those Bone-winged Creatures, and the higher-level Transcendent beings, seem to be using the “ancient language” for communication.

This clan possesses intelligence!

The stone wall was also written in “ancient language!”

If the knowledge of the “ancient language” could be extracted from the [traveler]’s mind… Then the dusty history unknown to anyone might be revealed to the world!

“But within the ‘fragmented’ memories, I saw such a scene.”

The Empress’s gaze turned gentle, she slowly waved her sleeve, the ice crystals within the Divine Domain transformed into one spirit crystal sphere after another.

Each of these spirit crystal balls contains a fragment of [traveler]’s shattered memory.

This “Eighth Divine Seat” spirit sea suffered extreme damage… Hence, the extracted memories are indeed limited, but it possesses “god-level” power nonetheless, these memories are solemnly preserved by the Empress.

At this moment, a spirit crystal ball slowly descended and landed in front of Gu Shen.

In that crystal sphere, wind and snow gathered, swirling and flowing.

In the desolate and fragmented snowy ruins, there were three lonely figures marching.

“This is the scene from [traveler]’s memory, I have already verified it…”

The Empress’s voice was complex, she said, “You can take your time to watch.”

Gu Shen was stunned because he immediately recognized…

The three people in the [traveler]’s view are indeed Teacher, Senior Brother, Senior Sister.
