Chapter 1022: Chapter 176: Letter of the [New Era] (End of Volume)
“How’s that unfortunate fellow doing?”
Gu Shen stepped down from the off-road vehicle.
Gu Nanfeng and his party were waiting not far away, having just finished talks with the top brass of the North Continent.
“He’s already asleep.”
Gu Shen glanced back at the car, recalling the thunderous snores of the Tomb Ghost, couldn’t help but sigh, saying, “The ‘traveller’ incident has had a significant impact on him. He needs to recuperate for a while. However, deciphering those ancient scripts on the Heavenly Sheath may have to be postponed.”
Deciphering ancient scripts is an extremely mentally exhausting task.
With the mind impacted, even if the Tomb Ghost is talented, deciphering the scripts… will have to be delayed.
“That’s fine,” Gu Nanfeng nodded, “As long as he’s okay.”
“Rebuilding the Iron Fortress will take some time.”
Gu Nanfeng held a wooden sword, looked towards the tall tower not far behind, and said, “During these days, I will lead the Gu family to station at the Snow Cage Tower, responsible for repairing the Tundra Prison.”
He said with a meaningful tone, “The collaboration between the East Continent and North Continent is about to commence.”
Saying this, he cast a glance, which Luo Yu understood, quickly leading others away.
In the snow, only Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shen remained.
“Your trip to the North Continent certainly made quite a stir.”
Gu Nanfeng laughed, “The sound from Central City, no matter how big or small, we all heard it here… Madam even asked me a few days ago if you’re planning not to return. If you don’t come back soon, the big shots in Changye will feel uneasy, and some are speculating whether the Empress tried to buy you off with the ‘Duke’ position.”
“Rest assured…” Gu Shen also laughed, “If it’s just the position of Northern Continent Duke, it might not be enough to buy me off.”
Counting up, it’s been several months since arriving in the North Continent.
Actually, this time isn’t considered long.
It’s just that he really “came at the right time.”
Since arriving in the North Continent, major news has come one after another, especially the most shocking “traveller incident,” which shook the entire Transcendent world across the Five Continents—
“The most important matter for this trip to the North Continent… is already concluded.”
Gu Shen’s voice was a bit hoarse, “There’s still some minor matters left, and after handling them, I’ll return to Changye.”
“Xiao Gu… Mr. Shu’s matter, the East Continent Council is already aware.”
Gu Nanfeng was silent for a brief moment.
He deeply exhaled, “Someone suggested holding a funeral for the ‘Grand Judge,’ but the proposal was rejected… The old man joined forces with President Zhou Wei, Mr. Shan, and other family heads of the five major families to retain the position of ‘Grand Judge’ in the current Judgement Institute. Even the North Continent is willing to leave a door open at the ‘Moon City Fortress.’ How could we assume that Mr. Shu and the others have already met with disaster?”
Gu Shen gratefully looked towards Gu Nanfeng.
Retaining the position of “Grand Judge” is no small matter.
Gu Nanfeng’s words just now were said lightly, bringing out Gu Qilin, Zhou Wei, and Mr. Shan, making it seem like the big players reached a consensus, but Gu Shen clearly understood… Making this decision must have involved considerable controversy within the East Continent.
And Gu Nanfeng, who took no credit, certainly contributed greatly to this storm.
“By the way, someone asked me to deliver a letter to you.”
Gu Shen took out the letter from Meng Xizhou.
Looking at the light aura burning around the edge of the envelope, Gu Nanfeng’s expression became complicated. He reached out to receive this thin piece of paper, as if accepting a heavy mountain…
Regarding the content of the letter, Gu Shen wasn’t interested.
But he could see that Gu Nanfeng’s mood was mixed at the moment.
The broken alliance between Lin and Meng is already well-known across the Five Continents.
The North Continent and Light City officially broke ties. Through this break of Tundra Prison, began attempting to establish a new “collaboration relationship” with the East Continent… For the Gu family, this is naturally a good thing.
But behind these major events is the sacrifice of the Light Goddess.
As the beneficiary thousands of miles away, Gu Nanfeng both wished for these things to happen and wished they wouldn’t.
“The tide of the grand scheme, fate is beyond one’s control.”
Gu Shen said softly, “I’ve met Miss Meng, she is very nice, wish you all… a good outcome.”
Gu Nanfeng accepted the letter.
He said softly, “Some things are better not to think too much about. Fate is so elusive that even a ‘supreme’ like Mr. Gu Changzhi cannot grasp it in his hands… In these years, traveling the North Continent, through life and death trials, I’ve been mindful of one saying.”
“Which saying?” Gu Shen was curious.
Gu Nanfeng answered warmly, “Do good deeds, don’t ask about the future.”

Afterwards, the Iron Fortress reconstruction of [Snow Cage] was unrelated to Gu Shen.
Witnessing the conclusion of the “traveller” with Aluer, the dignitaries and generals who followed couldn’t truly act as “laborers” building the Iron Fortress. After some negotiations with the Gu family, Duke Zhu Xue stayed behind with his confidants in the Tundra.
Aluer initiated the main vessel to prepare for return to Central City.
The giant vessel hung the corpse of the traveller in front.
Other small airships were scattered, surrounding the main vessel in the central position.
“Can’t believe… this fellow just died like that.”
The legion commander piloted an airship, keeping level with the bow of the giant vessel. Every time she turned her head and saw that huge figure exuding waves of deathly silence, her heart surged with a sense of “unbelievable disbelief.”
