Chapter 681: Blade Edge Pledge

Along the lengthy flow of history, the most shocking and ground-breaking events always happen unexpectedly.

These events that could define history as well as change them were completely always unpredictable, very few could ever foretell them, and even less knew the entire truth behind the events as they happened.

The innumerable undercurrents were always hidden somewhere, affecting the flow of events; not even powerful beings the likes of G.o.ds could fully control where things were headed.

The figure of light reappeared without any warning.

And no one could predict that it would make another announcement and new rule so quickly.

But 1 second before the figure of light made its announcement across the 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones.

The entire Strife Zones went dark.

Countless blinding streaks of light appeared, each dragging a long illuminating trail behind all over the Strife Zones.

This looked a lot like a meteor shower.

But an immensely vast power was contained inside this shower, so much that no one could tell where this meteor shower arrived from.

Even the most powerful Combatants in the Strife Zones only knew that countless unknown things have ripped through the sky as they descend into the Strife Zones from an extremely distant place.

But what these things were, as well as how they came here, were a complete mystery.

Even the most well-known and most powerful clairvoyants weren’t able to find where those meteorites had landed.

That scene only lasted for a second.

One short second.

Exactly a single second.

Then the meteorites all disappeared, vanished, hidden away.

——-as if they never existed in the first place.

The Strife Zones returned to normal.

At this time, the figure of light’s voice came.

It solemnly announced:

「 Announcement: The first group of followers to light their Tree of Divinity have appeared 」

「 The path to G.o.dhood has official opened 」

「 The Divine barrier of the G.o.ds will soon be activated 」

「 The Strife Zones will be hidden away from the rest of the 900 million World Layers 」

「 From this moment onwards, anybody who leaves the Strife Zones will no longer be able to re-enter the Strife Zones! 」

Following its declaration, the Strife Zones completely vanished from within the 900 million World Layers.

This was the great Divine barrier set up by the seven G.o.ds.

Its only function was to obscure the things hidden inside.

——-to hide the entirety of the Strife Zones.

No one knew what kind of thing the seven G.o.ds were considering when they set up such a thing.

But it was likely that not even the G.o.ds could predict that within the blink of an eye right before the Strife Zones were completely hidden, a meteor shower had gotten inside.

…

Back on the scavenger s.h.i.+p.

The captain carefully listened to the figure of light’s declaration.

Even after the figure of light had gone away, he still didn’t move an inch.

“Someone had already lit their Tree of Divinity!”

The captain sighed, his voice containing some sort of insuppressible emotion.

Indeed, lighting the Tree of Divinity means that they can learn the techniques and knowledge of the G.o.ds—- and someone had already managed to achieve that.

But what about me?

I still have to struggle to earn the necessary travel fees.

Even if the travel fees were enough, what about other preparations after reaching the Holy Church?

Even if lighting the Tree of Divinity doesn’t cost anything, what about the resources to actually practice the techniques of the G.o.ds?

There’s nothing you can achieve in this world without money backing you up.

Never mind becoming a G.o.d, even maintaining the most basic pride and dignity of a Professionist requires the support of ample amounts of money.

The captain lowered his head and went silent.

He clenched his fist, then let go, hesitated for a brief moment before clenching it again.

“It should already be time, the only threat left was w.a.n.g Cheng, but w.a.n.g Cheng already dismissed his devil…”

“Seems like I’ll have to make the necessary preparations for concluding everything”

Everything I’ve prepared up to now, wasn’t it to wait for this exact moment?

Now that the fruit is ripe, what else do I have to hesitate for?

The captain clenched his fist tightly and made his decision.

On the other side.

Gu Qing Shan was standing inside w.a.n.g Cheng’s cabin.

The newspaper in his hand had already displayed all of its text.

He didn’t know anything about the sudden meteor shower that had appeared for a single second outside the s.h.i.+p—– one that encompa.s.sed all of the 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones.

But another paranormal phenomenon was happening right in front of him.

The newspaper in his hand suddenly went into flames.

Without giving time for him to even react, the sudden flame instantly burnt the newspaper black.

But it didn’t turn to ash.

Instead it began to unroll itself in Gu Qing Shan’s hand like a piece of cloth.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

He already understood, this newspaper wasn’t just a newspaper, it seemed to have some sort of other special function.

This was something Kitty casually handed to him without drawing much attention to it.

Now that I think about it, if the newspaper wasn’t as simple as it seemed, then Kitty’s actions must’ve also had some other meaning.

Unlike her happy-go-lucky big brother, Kitty has always been a careful and meticulous person.

Then, what exactly is this black cloth hidden under the newspaper?

Gu Qing Shan doubtfully thought.

A faint light began to blink on the outside of the black cloth.

This blinking light then scattered into a mist of faint and dim blinking lights.

This was quite a strange sight to behold.

While Gu Qing Shan was still confused, the War G.o.d UI suddenly lit up.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the UI.

[The outer seal of the coded black cloth has been removed]

[Discovered item: Blade Edge Pledge’s coded black cloth]

[Grade: Unique item]

[Doomsday Chronicles: Blade Edge Pledge is one of the most mysterious organizations within the 900 million World Layers, no official records ever existed to tell of its exploits, only the most powerful Combatants know that it truly does exist]

[War G.o.d Skills: This coded cloth is a unique item used for Super Dimensional communication among a select few organizations, there are no skills that you can learn from it]

Gu Qing Shan quickly read through everything.

Without giving him time to think, a female voice came from the glittering mist that came from the black cloth.

[Who… is there?]

The voice was faint and weak, like the voice of someone already at the end of their rope, barely clinging on to their life.

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t keep calm.

He instantly asked: “Is that Yun Ji? Forecaster of Calamity, lady Serena?”

A wave of noises could be heard from the other side.

After a bit of time, these noises faded away.

The female voice came again.

[Gu Qing Shan? I was wondering why someone on our side would be so close, so it was you]

She breathed heavily and tried to speak: […My wounds are too severe, I already can’t move anymore. I can only send you my coordinates, if you don’t have anything else crucial to do, come save me]

The light from the mist then began to gather onto the black cloth, then followed the cloth into Gu Qing Shan’s hands before flowing into his Thought Sea.

Gu Qing Shan now knew her location.

“Wait for me, I’ll come immediately!”

He loudly said.

Yun Ji replied: [I’m already close to death, but before I die I can try to tell you as much as possible, so come quick]

Apparently, it took the rest of her strength just to say those words, as her voice was completely cut right off after she finished speaking.

Gu Qing Shan paused briefly.

He pulled out a coordinates globe from the desk and seriously studied it.

According to w.a.n.g Cheng’s memories, Gu Qing Shan quickly found Yun Ji’s location on the globe.

Greyhan Black Market

Yun Ji is currently at Greyhan Black Market!

If these coordinates are correct, they are very close!

Gu Qing Shan then began to think of how to save her.

At this moment, he gave up all of his previous plans.

No matter what kind of problem or secret this s.h.i.+p has, it is already unimportant, the priority now is to save her!

Currently, the s.h.i.+p was already heading to Greyhan Black Market, but because of some possible unexpected appearances of void monsters, the s.h.i.+p maintained a slow speed out of concern for safety and habit.

——-I need to get this s.h.i.+p to proceed at full speed!

After deciding, Gu Qing Shan immediately left his cabin.

He could tell that the captain was someone with an extreme thirst for wealth.

It should be enough to offer all of w.a.n.g Cheng’s wealth to him—– since all he was asking for is the s.h.i.+p to speed up a bit.

Gu Qing Shan quickly walked towards the captain’s room.

At a certain point.

He suddenly stopped.

He felt his surroundings to be strange.

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag, summoning the full Shen Wei General armor and quickly equipped it.

Grabbing the void of s.p.a.ce, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword was in his hand.

“Come out!”

Gu Qing Shan shouted.

But no one responded.

The entire s.h.i.+p was silent, not even an echo could be heard.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and scanned the entire s.h.i.+p at once.

Nothing.

Everyone on the s.h.i.+p had disappeared.
