Chapter 562: Chapter 339 Ancient Gate_2

Faraway, Old Huang couldn’t help shivering and felt some unease in his heart.

“Priest?”

“It’s nothing.” Old Huang returned from his distraction, rubbed his forehead with some anxiety, and did not reveal his discomfort to the members but muttered to himself in his heart.

“Strange, ever since we entered this Dark Zone, I’ve been feeling uneasy, as if big trouble is coming.”

“It shouldn’t be, I’ve been very low-key.”

He decided to lead everyone to the core area just once, get the chance of Demigod Level, then retreat immediately.

After all, it was a guerrilla war, plus now that he had recovered some strength, he had plenty of lifesaving measures!

On top of that, he had quietly retrieved several hidden Divine Artifacts.

At this moment, Old Huang suppressed the feeling of unease, and a calmness surged in his heart.

No problem.

He was very stable now!

—————–

Su Qi led the Abyss believers forward.

This world…

was very strange.

Time seemed to stand still, yet it also preserved ancient relics of the past, with distinct ancient battlefield grounds visible.

Su Qi’s eyes gathered information and also leveraged the power of the Abyss Followers.

“Venerable, we have just summoned the Dark Scripture, guiding us towards this direction.”

Su Qi nodded, “I know, stand down.”

“Yes.”

Luo Shenfu watched this scene, his eyebrows involuntarily twitching. No matter how many times he saw it, he found it somewhat outrageous.

His own Daozi becoming an undercover Captain.

However.

Luo Shenfu still didn’t know what Venerable meant; he simply thought of it as… the leader of a small squad.

If this status could be maintained without being exposed, without any flaws showing.

Luo Shenfu thought it indeed was a good strategy, having the forces of the Abyss create opportunities for him, and indeed… these evil believers could be used without any burden.

In this way, perhaps he could come into contact with even more central but dangerous powers, to see if he could obtain extraordinary opportunities, and he would be able to lend a hand then.

Of course, what Luo Shenfu didn’t know was what they would be facing next…

“Mr. Luo, what do you think?”

Luo Shenfu came back to his senses slightly; he was probing with his spiritual energy: “Since this is the heart of the Dark Zone, it means that you have entered… the forbidden ancient battlefield.”

“How so?” Su Qi’s eyes moved slightly.

“When the Dark Zone appeared, I already understood that it was… the so-called World Tree Ship, the ship of hope once made, gathering numerous powerful worlds, serving as the last bastion of the Present World.”

Luo Shenfu was explaining to Su Qi:

“And at the last moment, it naturally became… the fiercest battlefield.”

“Countless worlds shattered, turned into Fragments.”

“And this place is the World Ship Ancient Battlefield!”

Su Qi paused: “Is that so?”

He had his speculations, but had never confirmed them.

“So, this place indeed possesses endless opportunities, a large number of coordinates of gods, dormant powers are all here.”

Luo Shenfu said softly: “But it also contains infinite danger; a slight carelessness leads to a deathly Hell.”

He sighed softly: “Actually, according to my initial plan, I wanted you, Daozi, to join the team of Heavenly Destiny People and befriend these Heavenly Destiny People on the way.”

“But.”

Luo Shenfu said solemnly: “I didn’t expect you to do the opposite…”

He knew of the Heavenly Destiny People plan because there had been Heavenly Destiny People who had previously entered the trials, a long time ago.

This was a plan involving Heavenly Destiny People that had been laid out for countless years and was also the navigator of the fate of the Present World.

Each one of them was the hope of the Present World.

“No big deal.” Su Qi paused: “Unite all the forces that can be united, even Abyss Power can be borrowed for a while.”

“Anyway.”

Luo Shenfu said helplessly: “Everything here… is covered by the Old Days; you’ve seen those Black Rains before, they exist here too, and are even more turbulent and terrifying.”

“And this place will naturally be different from other areas.”

“Alright, then we’ll just have to take one step at a time and see.”

Su Qi really wanted to complain inwardly. Although Luo Shenfu said a lot, he actually knew most of it already. But that was normal, this place… was covered by the Old Days, and the traces of the past were buried.

No one probably knew what would actually happen here.

And about half an hour had passed.

Everything here still bore the signs of antiquity, endless ruin, and disarray.

However, changes had appeared.

In the Sky Dome, large amounts of thick clouds had emerged, terrifying blackness tumbling within them.

“Venerable, be careful,” the followers directly warned, “This is the Illusory Rain of the Abyss’s Fog from the ancient days.”

“A short exposure isn’t a big deal, as one has Spiritual Energy for protection, but if one is exposed for a long time and the Spiritual Energy is exhausted, one will be pulled into the Old Days.”

Su Qi replied, “Okay, got it.”

It’s not like I’m a newbie.

I’ve seen all this before, and I’m quite familiar with it.

The Dark Zone had many resurrected artifacts of antiquity, shocking, deterring, and fearing many as disasters.

It seemed that he had already experienced all this before.

“But it’s the Black Rain again…”

Su Qi stretched out his hand, looking at that swath of dense black clouds, while further ahead, it had already started pouring heavily.

Looking even further ahead, there was the endless black and white expanse of the Old Days.

“Venerable, look ahead!”

The hoarse voices of the followers suddenly spoke.

At the same time.

The Dark Scriptures floating around were also slowly providing guidance.

“That is…” Luo Shenfu’s eyes narrowed sharply.

“A door.”

Within the black and white of the Old Days, there stood a rectangular door, motionless, emitting a strange and slightly colorful fluctuation.

“Venerable, it seems that is the ‘entrance’ we were guided to,” the followers said softly.

Su Qi paused.

At the previous Abyss convention, all the decisions regarding the Abyss believers were actually quite simple, that was, to unseal the slumbering Abyss Power along the way.

Another was the ultimate goal of the followers, which was to send all the Venerables to ‘that place.’

He was sorry to say.

Although the description of that place at the convention was vague, Su Qi still knew which place it referred to.

The world where that small town was situated.

And, unfortunately.

He had been there too, and he did not know if it was due to the influence of the Evil God’s projection of Strength at that time, or other factors, but the familiar faces there might have come back to life, transformed into another terrifying form.

Now.

It was time for his triumphant return, to see the hometown elders and folks again.

“Okay, I understand,” said Su Qi unequivocally, “You can start preparing.”

“Yes, we will now commence the second phase of the Venerable plan.”

The followers, in alliance with many Abyss believers, began to set up the ceremony, now about to send the Venerable to the guided coordinates.

As for those other than the followers, who did not have the qualifications to enter, they continued to vie for relics and resources within the core area of the World Fragments with real-world life forms, while waiting… for the great war and the Descent.

Luo Shenfu appeared somewhat astonished, “What do you mean, you’re going in?”

And what exactly was the Venerable plan they were talking about??

“There’s no way around it; one cannot catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den,” Su Qi said calmly, ignoring Luo Shenfu’s strenuous objections, as the ceremony lit up behind him, gathering a sanctuary of Abyss Power for him.

He had opened a passage through which he could safely go past the Black Rain, traverse the Old Days, and reach the door marked as the point of guidance.

Although Su Qi himself could now directly enter with his Spiritual Energy, why not have others do the work instead?

Besides.

There was another point.

The World Tree Withered Leaf on Su Qi was also getting hotter, and the coordinates it guided him to were also precisely… the door before him that stood amid countless falls of Black Rain, in the midst of the Old Days.

“Have you really decided?”

Luo Shenfu sighed, realizing he couldn’t stop any of Daozi’s decisions. He could see that the door harbored a fatal, Ominous terror, yet it also contained Holy Light, mingled within.

This kind of risk-taking… was not the path he wanted Daozi to follow.

“I have decided, the splendor of the Immortal Path hopes for Dongshan’s revival,” said Su Qi with a light laugh, “Hiding is not an option.”
