Chapter 197 Regression

"Everything...is for regression."

These seemingly heavy words were the final line carved on the rock face.

The translator's pen stopped here.

The rock face also came to an end.

Gu Shen's mood was unexpectedly heavy. Perhaps it was because he was immersed in the spiritual world of the rock face, or perhaps it was because he already knew the outcome of the transaction.

In the end... the Traveler, of course, did not return, because the Five Continents Great Wall has been peaceful for the past twenty years, and no information about the Traveler has been received. These "homeless ones" who have traveled thousands of miles were perhaps only a little short of completing their old dream of returning home.

Gu Shen felt strange from the beginning.

Who exactly built such a massive Nether Palace?

Now the answer was clear... This was precisely the work of the "Traveler." As for the battle衣 (yi) woven from clipped wings, Gu Shen had not yet seen it, but he knew that making a deal with a heinous villain like the former Nether King would only have one result.

Losing everything.

At that moment, Mu Wanqiu also slowly detached from the spiritual world of the ancient text.

Her mood also uncontrollably became heavy.

After a long pause, Mu Wanqiu said hoarsely, "So... those Travelers are still in the outer world..."

Because of the "Nether River's" induction, she felt an uncontrollable fondness for the Nether King's Fire Seed...

But after reading the long story on the rock face...

Her mindset underwent a subtle shift.

"Yes..."

Gu Shen frowned.

He suddenly felt that his emotions were somewhat out of his control.

The words left by the translator on this rock face had a magical power to influence the spirit. Immersed in the history of suffering of the Traveler clan, even after detachment, one would uncontrollably develop emotions like "pity" and "sympathy" for this clan.

For most people, this was actually nothing wrong.

But for a mental系 (xi) cultivator, this was very wrong.

Controlling emotions was the foundation of mental系 (xi).

Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu exchanged glances, both realizing the fluctuations in their emotions...

"There's something wrong with this rock face..."

Mu Wanqiu bit her tongue hard. Under the stimulation of pain, she became much clearer.

"These words have a strong infectiousness on the spirit."

Gu Shen also shook his head vigorously to clear his mind.

Fortunately, both were top geniuses in the mental系 (xi). After realizing this, they quickly recovered.

There was nothing wrong with this rock face.

The only problem was... the Travelers had portrayed their image as too righteous, too bright.

Wandering ascetics.

Indomitable homeless people.

On their final journey, they encountered a heinous villain, mistakenly made a deal, and were then deceived and left with nothing... This was actually a heartbreaking story, just a bit cliché.

The "suffering" of this clan should be real.

But some places were a bit empty.

The last sentence on the rock face was deafening.

"Everything, for regression."

But the Travelers never explained what they would do after returning.

Mu Wanqiu pondered, "Back then, what exactly was the deal between the Nether King and the Travelers?" Gu Shen looked back at the tall statue, his eyes full of resentment.

Although the person was gone...

He still couldn't help but curse a few words.

What a bastard, doing all the bad things, and every time it's me cleaning up your mess.

"The answer is not hard to guess."

Gu Shen went around and around, not finding anything more, so he returned under the statue and said, "What the Travelers want should be regression."

"Most of the content on this rock face doesn't need to be faked... Their encounters should be real, and everything they did was for regression, which should also be real."

In the vast, no one knows how to get to a specific location.

Gu Shen deeply understood this.

A year ago, his teacher and fellow disciples left the disaster realm of Piyue City Fortress and have been missing ever since.

He had seen the figures of his senior sister and teacher in the maze... There was only a mountain wall between them at the time.

But the distance of this mountain wall was farther than a thousand ravines.

Most of the territory is occupied by disordered black holes and black spots. Many spaces are not continuous at all... They only exist on that side of.

Seeing and touching are two different things.

"So... in an accidental 'trek,' the Nether King and the Travelers met."

Mu Wanqiu recalled the last scene on the rock face.

On Black Snow Mountain, two divine seats met.

"Yes, the Nether King was exploring with the Five Continents as his foundation, so he must have reached the depths of to have met the 'Travelers.'"

Gu Shen said calmly, "But for the Travelers, it's too difficult to find us in the darkness. It all depends on luck. Without someone pointing the way, even if they opened up the, they might not be able to find us in another thousand years."

So, the deal was reached.

The Travelers wanted to return.

And the Nether King... just needed to give them a door.

Gu Shen suddenly frowned.

He returned to the end of the rock face and read the spiritual words left by the translator. He looked at the last picture, his expression gradually turning pale.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Wanqiu also came to Gu Shen's side.

The last picture.

It was the scene of the Nether King meeting the Travelers.

Black Snow Mountain, two Fire Seeds, frozen in place.

"This Black Snow Mountain..."

Gu Shen's voice was hoarse as he said, "Is the one suppressing Doru River."

Mu Wanqiu was stunned, and then she realized the true meaning of this sentence... If the Black Snow Mountain in this picture was moved to the Doru River disaster realm, then could it be understood that half of the deal between the two divine seats had been completed?

Something had already been sent from the old world to here.

Then...

The door that the Nether King built for the Traveler clan actually existed, and it was right here.

The Empress sent hundreds of elite 超凡者 (chao fan zhe, transcendent beings)... to the Doru River disaster realm with only one purpose: to find the door connecting the disaster realm to the!

"No... no way?"

Mu Wanqiu took two steps back subconsciously.

At this moment, she suddenly understood many things.

For example, the real reason for the failure of the Light Divine Seat's descent... The power of the divine seat was indeed powerful. Almost all 超凡者 (chao fan zhe, transcendent beings) who saw that beam of light believed that the descent of "Light" was a foregone conclusion.

But there were always exceptions.

One, cannot compare to two.

If that Black Snow Mountain was凝结 (ning jie, congealing) with the power of two intertwined Fire Seeds, then the outcome of the Light's failure to descend was already doomed!

For another example.

The reason why the Nether River was divided into two sections.

Was precisely because...

Of the deal reached between the Nether King and the Travelers.

How could the leader of the "Travelers," who had trekked for many years and experienced countless hardships, trust others so easily? He must have left behind countermeasures. The rock face carved with ancient text on the back of the statue was one piece of evidence.

Then the "Black Snow Mountain" located in the waist of Doru River was likely the scale ensuring the smooth completion of the transaction!

The battle that erupted in this disaster realm was not just between the Nether King and Light City.

There was also... a third-party force.

The "超凡生灵 (chao fan sheng ling, transcendent lifeform) skeletons" I discovered in the exploration mission were somewhat similar to humans, but not entirely, because they were "ancient humans" who had evolved differently in the old world.

In that case...

This disaster realm was not entirely owned by the Nether King either.

The Travelers... also had half!

Wait, then the statue just now...

Accompanied by a suddenly descending thought, she raised her head and looked at the towering statue shrouded in mist.

This statue had never been carved as the "Nether King" from the beginning. The tattered and broken robe, and the wings gathered in the darkness... all indicated the true identity of the statue.

This was the "statue" that the Travelers had carved for themselves.

"Everything... is for regression..."

Gu Shen said solemnly, reciting the last sentence on the rock face.

From the moment he arrived in front of the statue, the cross pendant had been silent.

At this moment.

He vaguely understood the reason.

It wasn't that there was no movement.

But that a huge chain reaction had already inevitably occurred, transmitted from the far front section of the Doru River to here... Countless disaster futures enveloped himself and Mu Wanqiu. Among the thousands of paths, there was no longer a correct one belonging to him. In the absolute despair, the cross pendant could no longer provide guidance.

Thousands of paths, all dead ends.

"Everything, for regression."

Reading it again, one would find that the Traveler's sentence was not some kind of spiritual encouragement to strengthen people's hearts.

But a serious declaration that had already sounded the battle drums.

He wanted to return.

He would return.

In fact, all of this should have happened long ago. It was just that the arrangement of fate was too clever. When the Nether King was chased and fled, and finally disappeared into the old world, this magnificent Nether River,孕育 (yun yu, pregnant with) countless 超凡源质 (chao fan yuan zhi, transcendent source matter), sank into the no-man's land of the Northern Continent and turned into a frozen ice realm.

The two divine powers on Black Snow Mountain maintained a delicate balance. Over the years, no one had been able to set foot in this area. The calculations of the Nether King and the Travelers were also deadlocked at the moment the door was closed...

The balance was not broken.

The door could not be opened.

But now, the balance was broken.

Whether it was the Northern Continent legion that had launched a large-scale crusade, or the "Light City" that had stepped into the Snow Mountain and disturbed the peace, the actions taken by these 超凡者 (chao fan zhe, transcendent beings) in the Doru River disaster realm were an冲击 (chong ji, impact) on the封锁 (feng suo, blockade) of the door.

"Rumble!"

In front of the two, the statue began to tremble.

Huge hundred-meter rock walls cracked with one crack after another!

The Nether River began to vibrate.

An unprecedented impact was being transmitted from the distant other side of the old world... The Travelers, who had waited for twenty years, finally waited for the commotion on this side. They began to冲击 (chong ji, impact) the door and advanced towards this sealed妙境 (miao jing, wondrous realm) world.

Accompanied by a low impact—

At this moment!

The statue seemed to come alive!

The majestic hundred-meter divine seat began to tremble slightly all over, as if it might break free from the stone shell at any time. However, Gu Shen was very clear that it was not that simple for a figure at the divine seat level to cross the door and descend directly!

Even the Light Divine Seat of the Western Continent needed time.

Not to mention the Travelers who were far away in the!

The Traveler's descent would not be so fast. After all, the stone shell was not his real body. And at this moment, the Nether River was only vibrating, which meant that the ancient humans were轰击 (hong ji, bombarding) the door leading to the Doru River disaster realm, and it had not been completely opened yet.

Therefore, the Traveler's divine sense could only祭 (ji, offer) a wisp and place it on his statue.

But...

Even so, that statue still erupted with terrifying lethality!

After shattering a layer of stone chips, the "black gemstone" inlaid in the statue's forehead began to rapidly flow with漆光 (qi guang, lacquer light)—

With a "boom!"

After being silent for twenty years, the Traveler's divine robe was covered with dust. After another vibration, the dust was peeled off and scattered in all directions!

Through this statue, as a bridge, the Traveler's power began to复苏 (fu su, revive).

The black gemstone, which contained精神毒素 (jing shen du su, mental toxins), after a "long"蓄力 (xu li, charge), a wisp of luster掠 (lue, flashed) across its surface, and it began to喷吐 (pen tu, spew) intense骤光 (zhou guang, sudden light)!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The stone walls of the main hall were blasted to pieces, and stone chips flew everywhere!

The moment the intense light was喷吐 (pen tu, spewed) out, Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu sprang up from under the statue at the same time!

Both were extremely敏锐 (min rui, perceptive)精神系 (jing shen xi, mental系) geniuses, and they预感 (yu gan, sensed) the danger in the first time... The power of the intense light喷 (pen, spewed) out by this statue was very terrifying, comparable to a strong logic炮弹 (pao dan, cannonball). If they were hit head-on, their bodies would probably be directly洞穿 (dong chuan, pierced).

In this situation, both showed considerable exquisite身法 (shen fa, movement skills) to dodge.

Gu Shen moved at high frequency in the dark hall where漆光 (qi guang, lacquer light) was flying. Those wisps of intense light brushed past his cheeks again and again. The overdraft from the battle with Meng Xiao had only recovered a little now.

He was still in a weak period, and he looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

Mu Wanqiu, on the other hand, was the opposite. Her breath had fully recovered. At this moment, she was like a nimble butterfly穿花 (chuan hua, flitting through flowers), while dodging the intense light射击 (she ji, shooting), she was繞行 (rao xing, circling) this huge statue... She wanted to繞 (rao, circle) to the side and "break the statue back to its original position"!

At this moment, the Traveler revealed the trick he had buried when building the Nether Palace. Those stone walls carved with ancient text were not strong. At this moment, they were easily shot through by these lights... And the ancient text was flying, and one door after another was opened just like that!

The dark main hall lit up with one漆光 (qi guang, lacquer light) after another.

Those were one door after another, all破碎 (po sui, shattering) in the震颤 (zhen chan, trembling).

"Be careful!"

Gu Shen shouted in a low voice, "Take the fire!"

Those圣裁者 (sheng cai zhe, adjudicators) who were thrown by the Nether King in the hall originally carried resentment and were沉寂 (chen ji, silent) in the void. But after this mutation, they fell out of the door and sensed the breath of "living people"...

Mu Wanqiu reacted extremely quickly. A huge snow-white ghost影 (ying, figure) appeared behind her.

The judge glared angrily, raised the炽火 (chi huo, blazing fire) high above his head with one hand, and at the same time grabbed a very fast skeleton, throwing it heavily!

"Boom!"

The瘦削 (shou xiao, gaunt)圣裁者 (sheng cai zhe, adjudicator), whose body was only left with bones, did not even have time to scream before being凿 (zao, chiseled) into the wall by the giant force and sent to another world of the door.

However, they were "不死者 (bu si zhe, undying ones)" made by the Nether King...

Their bodies had long been破碎 (po sui, shattered), leaving only a little resentment.

This attack could not kill them.

After the judge祭 (ji, offered) the炽火 (chi huo, blazing fire), those flying "圣裁者 (sheng cai zhe, adjudicators)" instantly lost their target and turned back into wandering孤魂野鬼 (gu hun ye gui, wandering souls), but the terrifying thing was...

"Xiu!"

A wisp of intense light shot from the black gemstone穿 (chuan, pierced) through the chest of a certain圣裁者 (sheng cai zhe, adjudicator).

The倒 (dao, fallen) skeleton never stood up again, and even the不可化散 (bu ke hua san, unresolvable) resentment in its chest was blown to pieces and dissipated!

This scene made Gu Shen even more convinced that the Travelers were not good people at all. This guy completely knew the Nether King's abilities and埋 (mai, buried) such a move when building the Nether Palace.

If the Nether King had not been chased and left the Five Continents, forced to abandon the Nether River, but had truly cultivated a "亡灵军团 (wang ling jun tuan, undead legion)" of his own here.

Then after he violated the contract, the Travelers would take action and open all the doors in the Nether Palace.

Then he would屠戮 (tu lu, slaughter) all the亡灵军团 (wang ling jun tuan, undead legion) in the Nether Palace!

The巍峨 (wei e, majestic) statue 喷吐 (pen tu, spewed)漆黑 (qi hei, dark)圣光 (sheng guang, holy light),疯狂 (feng kuang, frantically)清扫 (qing sao, sweeping) the亡灵 (wang ling, undead) in the hall...

And Mu Wanqiu and Gu Shen were divided into two routes,躲闪 (duo shan, dodging)漆光 (qi guang, lacquer light).

Gu Shen saw this northern疯子 (feng zi, madwoman)'s idea, she wanted to break the statue back!

A dull sound of "Dong" sounded, like擂鼓 (lei gu, beating a drum)!

Mu Wanqiu was like a nimble butterfly,翻飞掠行 (fan fei lue xing, flying and flitting), and finally勐 (meng, suddenly)急停 (ji ting, stopped suddenly). She inserted a heavy knife into the statue's robe. Between the flying earth and stone, the judge气沉丹田 (qi chen dan tian, focusing her energy), clenched the knife handle with both hands, as if she wanted to use this as a撑点 (cheng dian, support point) to send this door back to the darkness...

"Ka cha ka cha ka cha..."

Unfortunately, only the刺耳 (ci er, ear-piercing) sound of石屑 (shi xie, stone chips)破碎 (po sui, breaking) sounded.

The 1.2-meter war刀 (dao, blade) was completely没入 (mo ru, submerged) into the statue's robe. At this moment, it turned slightly sideways, and the hundred-meter-high巨门 (ju men, giant door) only made a slight挪动 (nuo dong, moving) sound, and then there was no movement.

The judge, who was holding the knife handle tightly with both hands, roared with all his strength, and the huge power was transmitted over, but the door remained unmoved, but the blade of the war刀 (dao, blade) directly collapsed!

It was easy to open this door at the beginning.

But to close it was a thousand times more difficult.

Mu Wanqiu's expression was ugly, but she did not retreat.

After the war刀 (dao, blade) broke, she pressed her hands on the巨门 (ju men, giant door), twisting her waist and lifting her hips. As the judge's hands and her hands overlapped, the巨门 (ju men, giant door) made a low轰鸣 (hong ming, rumble) sound...

She actually used her own strength to撼动 (han dong, shake) this神像之门 (shen xiang zhi men, statue door)!

"疯子 (feng zi, Madwoman)..."

Gu Shen saw this scene and was surprised by Mu Wanqiu's monster strength, even more surprised by the madness of this woman!

In this situation, normal people would try to escape the temple...

But Mu Wanqiu's first thought was, whoever wants to fuck me, I will smash whoever it is!

Gu Shen had already been thinking about the next step when he realized that the statue was wrong. Although he did not expect the statue to suddenly attack, he was thinking... There should be an exit in this Nether Palace!

These intense lights seem to have no规律 (gui lu, pattern)... They filled the entire hall, but they must遵守 (zun shou, comply) with a规律 (gui lu, pattern).

Do not破坏 (po huai, destroy) the exit.

Gu Shen's gaze quickly scanned the entire hall. He tried to find a "doorway" that would not be covered by the trajectory of the intense light, but his brain went blank for a moment when he caught a glimpse of the statue.

Mu Wanqiu was moving the door, and there was a constant low轟鳴 (hong ming, rumble) sound from under the statue's seat.

But in fact...

That was not the sound made by moving the door!

It was the silent "statue" that was复苏 (fu su, reviving)!

The hundred-meter-high "Traveler" really came alive. The Ka Cha sound was actually the sound of it抖擞 (dou sou, flicking) its robe!

Gu Shen saw... On the face of that silent statue, a layer of black薄纱 (bo sha, tulle)-like stone chips fell off, and then a indifferent无情 (wu qing, ruthless) face was revealed.

A pair of extremely冷漠 (leng mo, indifferent) eyes just looked down and locked on the human woman who was trying to move him in overestimating her own strength.

(ps: 1. To explain the reason for being so late, this chapter is already the nth version. I was not satisfied with the previous version, and I deleted thousands of words, which is almost the length of this chapter. Considering that it is relatively late, I will post it first. If there are any subtle problems, I will continue to modify it. 2. There will be another big chapter tonight.)

The clumsy panda reminds you: Remember to collect after reading.
