Chapter 277: Chapter 253: Naturally Formed

Qin Ye suddenly felt that the Divine Throne before him was very unfamiliar.

Countless seas surrounded him.

The divine language inside his skull prompted him to abandon thought... Just as his consciousness was sinking, scattered memories from his past life suddenly emerged in his mind.

One scene after another.

Like glimpses captured while riding past on horseback, fragmented yet flowing backward.

Eventually, these memories all shattered, and the last image frozen in his mind was from that night in Lion Alley ten years ago, when the storm had ceased, dawn was approaching but not yet arrived, and the man who calmly faced death said to him,

"If the Angel Envoy’s purpose is truly to benefit all of mankind, to rebuild a perfect order in this new world, then I hope you realize at some moment in the future that humanity has taken a completely wrong path."

It might have been a coincidence, or perhaps it was destiny.

At this moment, Qin Ye suddenly thought of Lu Cheng’s message to him.

He looked up dazedly at the Divine Throne, his voice hoarse, "Lord Divine... I have a question... "

The face of the Sky Divine Throne, enveloped in flowing data, showed neither sadness nor joy, only a compassionate gaze fixed on his Angel Envoy.

"Is the path I’ve taken... all correct?"

Qin Ye didn’t know why he had asked such a question... It was an absurd, ridiculous question, considering he was an Angel Envoy under the Divine Throne!

He had always believed... Across the entire Central Continent, he was the person with the most steadfast willpower and determination, the devout follower most willing to dedicate everything to the future of mankind.

How could such a person doubt his own choices?

Even a second’s hesitation was a desecration of the "Divine Throne"!

After speaking, Qin Ye instinctively wanted to lower his head, but circling in his mind more frequently than the divine language... were the excruciatingly calm last words of Lu Cheng before his death, a force drove him to raise his head and look directly into the eyes of Lord Divine.

He had already decided to sacrifice himself.

What else in this world was there to fear?

He looked into the eyes of the Sky Divine Throne, listening to his own voice which uncontrollably grew from harsh to firm, "Could you... provide me with an answer?"

The sea enveloped the large robe.

The gaze the Sky Divine Throne directed at Qin Ye was one of disappointment, his voice very soft as he spoke, "Qin Ye... this is not something an Angel Envoy should ask."

"My lord..."

Qin Ye lowered his head, his voice husky, "I just want to know... the truth..."

At this point.

The Sky Divine Throne did not reply anymore.

He stared intently at Qin Ye, or more precisely, at the Infinite Deep Sea behind Qin Ye, a somber shade slowly emerged on that divine face sculpted from data.

For some reason... he suddenly felt an odd sensation of being "spied upon," this Spiritual Sea Domain was constructed from the "source code" of the deepest layer of the deep sea, theoretically speaking, those with authority to enter this level were fewer than the number of fingers on two hands.

And those bold enough to spy on a Divine Throne... could only be another Divine Throne.

The Sky Divine Throne abruptly waved his sleeve.

The surrounding Spiritual Sea Domain began to revolt... each droplet of water rolling, an invisible tide rippling outward.

Was it Gu Changzhi?

His first reaction was of the man who had long been asleep in Qingzhong... But after this sleeve wave, there were only angry spiritual ripples splashing, no other sound, the Spiritual Sea Domain from boiling gradually became silent.

Qin Ye just watched the furious Sky Divine Throne, not daring to speak, thinking he had angered the deity.

Is it an illusion?

The uneasiness of being watched still lingered in the heart of the Sky Divine Throne.

He looked coldly at Qin Ye and said, "What truth do you seek?"

...

...

"Boom—"

A casual flick at the deepest layer of the deep water area by the Divine Throne.

This sound seemed ordinary and routine.

But when it fell on Gu Shen’s ears, it was like thunder. Having descended to the lowest layer, his spiritual body was enveloped by countless bubbles, giving him a strange feeling... as if he had become part of this underwater world.

The "source code" enveloped him, so he also became part of the "source code."

The rolling sea, each droplet filled with the Divine Throne’s immense spiritual power... As they were about to reach Gu Shen, they were obstructed by countless "source codes," making the water dissipate and leaving Gu Shen unscathed.

Chu Ling slowly withdrew the arm she had placed in front of Gu Shen.

"Have we been discovered?" Gu Shen’s expression was somewhat pale; he didn’t dare to speak until he saw Chu Ling’s smile directed at him, then hesitantly asked, fearing that any superfluous movement might also attract the Divine Throne’s attention.

"Yes and no," Chu Ling narrowed her eyes and lightly smiled, "Everyone can have illusions... as long as he finds no evidence, then what’s true is also false."

The intuition of the Sky Divine Throne was indeed sharp.

He managed to sense the anomaly of the "source code"... but unfortunately, how could one find the specific droplet they sought in the ocean? If the true voyeur were not Chu Ling but another Transcendent, even the Divine Throne would have been forced out by now.

This wasn’t finding a needle in a haystack.

It was like scooping water from the sea.

"...Quite thrilling." Gu Shen took a deep breath and, gazing earnestly at the illusionary figure in the distance, asked, "Can the images and sounds here be uploaded synchronously?"

"They can," Chu Ling frowned slightly, puzzled, "What are you trying to do?"

"It’s a long story..."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "First... I need to pass on the regards of an important figure. Mr. Gu Changzhi says hello."

Chu Ling paused.

"Next, to thank you for showing me our sea... I also want to take you to a place you’ve been," Gu Shen thought for a moment and slowly said, "According to you, that place should be called... our prairie?"

I’ve been there...

At first, Chu Ling reacted blankly for a second, but she quickly realized which place Gu Shen was referring to, and a flush of embarrassment appeared on her slightly chubby cheeks.

She muttered softly in annoyance, "That’s really cheesy..."

Gu Shen laughed, indeed remarking, "It is a bit, but isn’t it quite fitting?"

"Source code" had its own sea.

The "key" had the Four Seasons Wilderness.

Two originally lonely souls, after meeting in the spiritual world... were no longer alone.

This coincidence could not be calculated by algorithms, nor could it ever be constructed by code as a form of romance.

To describe it as predestined was very apt.

"These ’images’ here... I want an important person to see them," Gu Shen looked at Chu Ling, who had already begun to comprehend, and confidently smiled, "That’s right... as you might have guessed, it’s the Angel Envoy of the Wine God, Tie Wu."
