BXBX NOVEL Chapter 991 - The Earth Creator’s Reminder
Chapter 991: The Earth Creator’s Reminder
The fire had already been out for a long time.
There was no way for them to infer the passage of time.
In the darkness, the stone slab that carried Anna and Lin was silently hovering forward.
The walls that are composed entirely of corpses and were lined up one after another, all of them stretching endlessly towards the sky and the ground.
They were almost like trees in a terrifying forest of corpses.
Occasionally, the stone slab had to move around them in order to continue forward.
Anna held Lin’s hand tightly, both of them remained completely silent on top of the stone slab.
During their flight, it wasn’t completely silent.
Occasionally, Anna would hear things sounding from the walls, sometimes even voices.
Each of these times, Lin would squeeze Anna’s hand to signal her to be careful and stop paying attention to them.
Up until a certain point.
The stone slab slowed down.
Until it stopped entirely in the middle of the deep, stifling darkness.
Anna looked around.
Walls upon walls of corpses filled her vision.
Other than that, there existed only darkness.
The two of them as well as the stone slab seemed like specks of dust in the middle of a vast world, all alone without a place to return.
“The slab stopped” Anna couldn’t help herself from commenting.
“Hm”
Lin absent-mindedly replied.
Seeing her expressionless face, Anna silently understood that this was her decision to make.
The slab must have stopped here for some reason.
Then what’s the reason...
Anna stood at the edge of the slab, wanting to take a look around to find any unique areas.
She suddenly noticed that there was a broken wall of corpses right beneath the slab.
Unlike the other walls of corpses, this wall seemed to have endured some sort of heavy impact and became heavily damaged in the process, revealing what was hidden inside.
There was a secret passage right inside the broken wall.
“So that’s what it was, we need to go down” Anna sighed in relief.
Lin nodded.
“I’ll head down first, after I confirm that everything is safe, you’ll come after me” Lin told her.
Anna replied: “It’s fine. Since there’s a passage——”
“Listen to me!”
Lin cut her off and spoke with an extremely solemn tone.
Anna was a bit surprised and was about to raise her eyebrows.
Lin also noticed that her tone wasn’t correct and sighed: “Sorry, I lost my cool, I should’ve told you before”
She paused a bit, then continued: “This place is the Eternal Abyss”
“The Eternal Abyss!?” Anna exclaimed.
“Yes”
Lin looked down at the secret passage below and muttered: “There are very few true passages that lead downward within the Eternal Abyss. I’ve just checked our surroundings and found that no creature had made it to this place for at least several ten thousand years, which means that it’s an extremely well-hidden location even among the paths of the Eternal Abyss. That’s the reason why we need to exercise caution”
“Wait here”
Saying so, she lightly jumped off.
Anna knelt down on one knee at the edge of the slab, observing as Lin’s figure was slowly swallowed by the darkness.
...
At another location.
The space vortex.
In a certain hidden space current.
“Gu Qing Shan, we’re about to arrive at Riddle world” Laura reported.
“How much longer?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Do you see that shining planet giving off colorful light right in front of us?”
“I see it. Is that it?”
“No, that is a dead planet that can no longer house any living beings. Riddle world is hidden inside the green light at the north of this planet, the green light is the entrance to that world”
“I see”
While they talked, [The Empress] had begun to speed up towards the green light.
Half an hour later.
The ship finally entered the green light area.
The scene in front of Gu Qing Shan changed.
Large masses of trees and forest filled the entire area in front of them.
“Remember, you can’t say a single word from this point onwards. As long as you don’t say anything, no one would be able to do anything to you”
Laura’s voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan’s heart.
This was the power of telepathy.
As Gu Qing Shan glanced down at the faint layer of orange light around his body, he slowly nodded: “I’m not someone who likes to look for trouble”
This orange light represented the protection of this world’s Law, a protection provided to everyone who was here.
——so long as they did not speak.
As he watched the scenery below the ship, the star chart in his mind suddenly manifested in the void of space in front of him.
A projection appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The Earth Creator!
However, this was nothing but an image projection, it had no power.
「 This is a recording of over several ten thousand years ago. At this moment, I was both observing the future and leaving this scene of the past to you 」the Earth Creator’s voice resounded.
Watching the projection, Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
The Earth Creator was an unimaginably powerful being, to be able to arrange preparations for something that would happen over several thousand years later.
This truly went beyond a normal person’s expectations.
The Earth Creator is able to foresee visions of the future.
The only time it let its guard down was a trip back to the past, several ten thousand years ago.
When it arrived, a calamity near the Reality Gate suddenly erupted and directly took its life.
「 I sealed a certain item away and placed it within Riddle world 」
「 Even after several ten thousand years later, it is still hidden deep below the water where no one would be able to discover———- before coming into contact with you, it would not leave Riddle world 」
「 That location is called the Sunset Bridge 」
「 The item I hid away is lying underneath the bridge, hidden by the murky water and surrounded by rocks 」
「 Go, find it 」
After declaring so, the Earth Creator’s projection was about to dissipate but suddenly turned solid again.
It stared intensely at the void of space and hurriedly declared: 「 I can see a vision of [Chaos], the one pursuing you has become boundlessly more powerful, to the point that the current you could not possibly go up against it! 」
「 Gu Qing Shan, I can only see very brief visions related to your future, you will need to think of some way to resolve this, otherwise, the only outcome waiting for you would be eternal death 」
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
The more [Chaos] the Soul Shrieker spread, the faster it would grow strong.
I already received an attack from the Soul Shrieker that bypassed distance.
It’s not good manners to only receive without returning, and simply enduring attacks would not resolve the issue.
Although I’m infinitely weaker than this Abyssal monster right now, the Earth Creator might have some sort of solution.
Unfortunately, this was only a projection that the Earth Creator set up, so I can’t communicate with it.
Then again, would this BOSS level character not have any ideas if he already foresaw this?
Sure enough, the Earth Creator continued: 「 I am trying to think of how to deal with it—— who could have known this one would become so powerful in the future 」
「 How strange, why did I not try to stop it? 」
The Earth Creator’s voice slowly turned weaker until it thoroughly faded into silence.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a while more.
The projection disappeared completely.
Seems like the Earth Creator only prepared so much in this place.
Let’s just hope there would be more reminders the next time its projection shows up.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then turned to Zhang Ying Hao and asked: “Do you know a place called Sunset Bridge?”
“Ah, I do, it’s a bridge that connects an island city to the rest of the world, quite a famous location”
“Where is it?”
Zhang Ying Hao pondered a bit and pointed with his finger.
Gu Qing Shan said: “Laura, let’s head East”
“Got it!”
The airship changed directions and started heading East.
Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the deck while observing the Riddle world.
A while later.
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan noticed that the faint layer of orange around him became cracked before slowly fading away.
And it wasn’t just him, everyone else on the ship experienced the same thing.
“What’s going on? How strange, this is supposed to be the Law of Riddle world” Zhang Ying Hao exclaimed from shock.
A sigh emerged from the deck of the ship.
Boss was currently laying on the floor and casually answered: “[Chaos] has completely descended and destroyed this world’s Law”
“From now on, this world will be filled with lawlessness and [Chaos], it would not have the power to protect anybody at all”
The ship flew over a city.
Everyone stood on top of the ship as they looked down below.
The Law of Riddle world had been changed.
The Law that protected one as long as one didn’t utter a single word had thoroughly vanished.
There was no such thing as peace in the city below.
——a plague was spreading, meteorites randomly flying, the earth trembled from the quake, the tides swept over the land, typhoons ravaged the earth, and frost froze everything over.
Wave after wave of unusual insects were gnawing and devouring the corpses on the ground under the command of a few carriers of [Chaos].
As far as the eye could see, robbery, violence, murder, arson, necrophilia, skinning alive, laceration, sacrifices, beheading.
It was utter [Chaos].
Witnessing this, Gu Qing Shan’s brows furrowed.
He turned his eyes towards the two UIs in front of him to see how they would face [Chaos].
The [Demon King Order] seemed to have become a total scaredy-cat, still reminding him to quickly flee.
However, among the [Hurry up and flee] notifications, there would occasionally be a [Chaos is becoming stronger] notification.
Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards the War God UI.
The War God UI was completely clean and composed, seemingly unfazed.
Gu Qing Shan silently muttered in his mind: “War God UI?”
[Ting]!
A clear chime rang out.
[I’m here] the War God UI responded.
“You seem to be very quiet recently” Gu Qing Shan said.
[Facing the Apocalypse, Order and Chaos are both factions that stand against it. For the sake of fairness, I must remain a partial observer who does not comment]
The War God UI replied.
