Chapter 951: Chapter 116: Traveller, Awakening (Part 2)

“This Black Snow Mountain…”

Gu Shen’s voice was hoarse, and he said, “is the very one that suppresses the Duolu River.”

Mu Wanqiu was stunned, and then she realized the true implication of these words… If the Black Snow Mountain in this image was moved to the Duolu River Disaster Realm, then could it mean that the transaction between the two Divine Thrones of the past has already been half accomplished?

Something has already been sent from the Old World by the [Gate] to this place.

Then…

The [Gate] crafted by the Netherworld King for the Traveler Clan actually does exist, and it is right here.

The Empress dispatched over a hundred elite Transcendents… to the Duolu River Disaster Realm with a singular purpose: to find the gate linking the Disaster Realm to the [Old World]!

“No… it can’t be?”

Mu Wanqiu instinctively stepped back two steps.

In that moment, she suddenly understood many things.

Such as the true reason for the failure of the Light God’s Seat’s descent —

The power of the Divine Throne was indeed mighty; nearly every Transcendent who saw that light pillar believed the “Light” had already settled.

But there is always an exception to everything.

One cannot withstand two.

If two entangled Powers of Fire were condensed on that Black Snow Mountain, then the failure of Light’s descent had already been destined!

And for example,

The reason why the Nether River was split into two segments.

It was precisely because of…

The transaction reached between the Netherworld King and the traveler.

After years of journeying in the [Old World], enduring countless ordeals, how could the leader of the “traveler” so easily trust others? He must have left behind countermeasures, and the rock wall behind the Divine Statue carved full of ancient scripts serves as evidence.

Thus, the “Black Snow Mountain” situated at the waist of the Duolu River, is likely the scale to ensure the transaction can be smoothly completed!

The battles erupting in this Disaster Realm are not just between the Netherworld King and Light City.

There is also… a third party force.

The “Extraordinary Creature Skeletons” I discovered during my exploration tasks, somewhat human-like yet not completely similar, because these are precisely the “ancient humans” evolving as anomalies in the Old World.

Therefore,

This Disaster Realm is not entirely owned by the Netherworld King.

The traveler… also owns half!

Wait, then the Divine Statue just now…

With a sudden descending thought, she raised her head and gazed at the towering Divine Statue shrouded in mist.

This Divine Statue from start to finish was never sculpted as the “Netherworld King,” that tattered and shattered cloak, and the wings folded back into darkness… all revealed the true identity of the statue.

This is the “Divine Statue” the traveler sculpted for himself.

“All… for the return…”

Gu Shen’s expression was solemn as he recited the last phrase on the rock wall.

From the moment he arrived in front of the Divine Statue, the cross pendant had already fallen silent.

At this moment.

He vaguely understood the reason.

It wasn’t due to [Goddess of Destiny’s Sanctuary] having no movement.

But rather because a vast chain reaction had inevitably occurred, transmitted here from the distant forepart of the Duolu River… countless future catastrophes have encased both himself and Mu Wanqiu, among the thousands of roads, there was no correct one that belonged to him, in this absolute dire strait, the cross pendant could no longer provide guidance.

All roads are dead ends.

“All, for the return.”

Reciting it again reveals the traveler’s words were never a form of spiritual encouragement to fortify hearts.

But an earnest declaration that had already sounded the war drums.

He wants to return.

He will return.

Actually, all of this should have happened a long time ago, it’s just that destiny’s arrangement was too ingenious. When the Netherworld King was chased and fled, eventually disappearing in the Old World, this majestic Nether River containing countless Extraordinary Essence then sank into the uninhabited zones of the North Continent, becoming the wind snow and eternally frozen ice realm.

The two Divine Powers on Black Snow Mountain maintained a delicate balance, no one had been able to set foot in this boundary over the years, and the manipulation of the Netherworld King and the traveler had stalemated at the moment the portal was closed…

The balance remained unbroken.

The portal could not be opened.

But now, the balance has been disrupted.

Whether it was the large-scale expedition once conducted by the North Continent Army or the Light City which now steps into the snowy mountain, disturbing the tranquility, the actions these Transcendents took in the Duolu River Disaster Realm all impacted the sealing of the portal…

“Boom!”

In front of the two of them, the Divine Statue began to tremble.

Massive hundred-meter rock walls began to crack with line after line of fissures!

The Nether River started to shake.

An unprecedented shock was being transmitted from the distant other shore of the Old World… the traveler, who had waited twenty years, finally saw the stirrings on this side, they began to assault the portal, advancing toward this sealed marvelous realm.

With the accompaniment of a low rumble—

At this moment!

The Divine Statue seemed to come alive!

That towering hundred-meter Divine Throne, every inch of its being began to tremble subtly, as though it might burst out of the stone shell at any moment, only Gu Shen knew that for a being of the Divine Throne level to cross the portal and descend directly is not that simple!

Even the Light God’s Seat from the West Continent needed time.

Not to mention the faraway traveler in the [Old World]!

The traveler’s descent will not happen so quickly, after all, the stone shell is not his true flesh, and at this moment the Nether River only showed vibrations, this indicates the ancient humans are attacking the portal leading to the Duolu River Disaster Realm, not yet fully opened.

Therefore, the traveler’s Divine Thought could at most wield a wisp, placing it on his own Divine Statue.

But…

Even so, that Divine Statue still unleashed a terrifying lethal force!
