Chapter 275: Chapter 251: The Abandoned Piece

He had arrived.

Finally arrived.

After nearly twelve hours, someone finally came... Though separated by two continents, twelve hours was still somewhat long considering the efficiency of the Source Tower. Qin Ye adjusted his posture on the iron chair, his voice hoarse, "When can I leave?"

Chu Yu did not directly answer this question.

After sitting down in the interrogation room, the first thing he did was not to open his briefcase or to converse with Qin Ye, but to raise his head and look at the surveillance camera which had been reactivated after Lu Nanjin had left.

He nodded slightly, as a signal.

"Mr. Qin," Chu Yu smiled, "don’t be anxious... you might want to take a look at this document..."

Having said this.

Chu Yu opened the briefcase, pulling out a very thin sheet of paper.

Outside the interrogation room, Lu Nanjin, keeping a close watch on the surveillance footage, coldly said, "Enlarge—"

No tricks under my watch.

The screen beside captured the image of the document and enlarged it. A sheet of paper engraved with obscure ancient script, where each character resembled a tadpole that became visibly clearer when magnified several times... yet still, nobody could recognize them.

"What script is this?"

Lu Nanjin furrowed her brow.

She squinted, straining to discern Qin Ye’s expression in the surveillance footage.

The man’s cheeks, smeared with fresh blood, were obscured by disheveled strands of hair... His expression was indistinguishable while seated on the iron chair, but one could sense that... his movements seemed to have become more sluggish.

...

...

Mental Hypnosis had many methods.

Through sound, through imagery, or more directly... through a touch of spiritual power.

This sheet covered in ancient script was one of the methods of communication between the "Sky Divine Throne" and the Angel Envoy. The moment Qin Ye’s eyes touched the thin paper, a strange ripple of spiritual power spread in his mind.

The characters, swimming forth, seemed to truly transform into tadpoles in an invisible void, cracking open a portal.

Chu Yu looked at the man in front of him with a calm expression. His eyes gradually turned dull, his demeanor becoming numb.

He took back the paper, which had served its purpose as a medium for mental hypnosis. What needed to be done now was just a slight disguise... he spoke unhurriedly, "There are some things I need to instruct Mr. Qin about..."

In the monitor, Chu Yu began to slowly discuss trivial matters.

Meanwhile, in another swath of spiritual wandering in the void.

Countless seawaters were backflowing.

This sea area harbored the spirits of countless people, linked by the deep sea across five continents, tens of billions of people, all contributing a portion of their spiritual power for the construction of the "deep water area."

The spirit of an ordinary person was as faint as a firefly.

The spirit of a Transcendent was slightly stronger, but in this vast sea area, it was still insignificant... What was terrifying was the congregation of billions of spirits, forming a bottomless Sea of Spirit.

For those with supreme authority, the "Divine Throne," this was also the safest "meeting place."

Qin Ye once again opened his eyes.

He felt bewildered; at this moment, he was no longer shackled to the iron chair, surrounded by boundless seawater...

A virtual face gradually solidified in the distance.

Seeing that virtual face, Qin Ye realized, this was the Spiritual World of the deep water area.

"Lord Divine..."

He sighed deeply, relieved from the pain and frustration in the real world. It was a refreshing feeling that words could hardly describe. At this moment, he knelt on one knee, demonstrating his absolute loyalty to that supreme figure.

In the sea, a large robe slowly emerged, floating in the air.

The "Sky Divine Throne," guardian of the Source Tower, was the most mysterious among all the Divine Thrones and was also known as the "Evergreen of the Supreme Seat." He had witnessed nearly a century of human struggle and evolution and had personally established the Transcendent order of Central Continent today.

In the deep water area, His form appeared young and graceful.

The robe draped over Him fluttered slowly, as if it had a life of its own. As the robe moved, the sea area began to "teem with life."

"The mission in Da Du is like this..."

Just as Qin Ye was about to speak, the Sky Divine Throne interrupted him.

"I already know about the matters in Da Du."

The voice of the Divine Throne was very gentle, as warm as the seawater at this moment, making one’s soul feel warm. "The Lion Awakening technology has been destroyed, Lu Nanjin is still alive, Tie Wu’s physical body has perished, and you have been detained because of this..."

Qin Ye clenched his teeth and said, "Lord... it was Gu Changzhi from Qingzhong who descended."

"...Yes."

The Divine Throne merely nodded slightly, speaking emotionlessly.

"Actually, the failure of the mission isn’t really significant... Before this journey, I should have told you not to expose the [Angel Envoy] identity, and to keep your actions separate from Tie Wu’s."

After these words, the warmth that Qin Ye had felt in his heart gradually faded.

Qin Ye realized something; he looked up somewhat bewilderedly.

"Lord...?"

"Qin Ye... do you still remember what the mission of the [Angel Envoy] is?"

The roaring of countless seas resounded by his ears.

"Of course... of course, I remember!"

Qin Ye immediately spoke.

He was the God’s Angel Envoy, the people of God, and the trusted sword of God.

To save the fate of the Five Continents from destruction, he could sacrifice everything... including his own life.

"This is the deepest level of the deep water area, paved by the [Source Code], where, apart from the highest seat, only a very few from the council can reach..." The Sky Divine Throne spoke softly, extending His finger and gently pushing out a bead of water. The bead fell on Qin Ye’s forehead, slowly dispersing, and a massive amount of spiritual power poured into Qin Ye’s mind, creating a euphoria like a mental explosion.

He felt as if he saw the birth and destruction of the entire universe.

And this... was actually just the amount of data calculated by the Deep Sea bottom layer in a single second.

"Having this conversation here today... is because I regret that this is probably our last meeting, and I hope this meeting is sufficiently solemn and serious for you,"

Qin Ye felt the gaze of Lord Divine, and his soul trembled uncontrollably. After the water bead burst, his mind was instantly filled... The original explosive pleasure turned into boundless pain in a second.

If not for a God.

Whose spiritual power could carry such vast data?

The deepest layer of the deep water area is simply not a place a "person" can reach.

Qin Ye suddenly felt that the Lord Divine in front of him seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

The scene before him blurred... The Spiritual Link seemed to be breaking, the token no longer supported him, and he could not bear the pressure from the deepest layer of the deep water area.

All was gradually turning into "nothing", into "void".

The only thing still existing was the Divine words echoing in his skull.

"It’s time."

"To sacrifice your life for the future of the Five Continents."
