Chapter 415: Chapter 85: Navigating the Old World (Long Chapter, Request for Monthly Tickets!)_3

Gu Qilin said, "As you saw, the last part of the video successfully transmitted... it reached the hands of Duke Zhuxue in advanced city. North Continent was undergoing a stern purge. Duke Zhuxue originally wanted to convene a meeting centered on the purge, but the video successfully altered the focus of the meeting. The Privy Council of advanced city signed the approval for the Fourth Legion to station at Moon City and began relocating the citizens within the Fortress. Strategically speaking, it’s equivalent to North Continent’s western flank yielding an arc point."

The dark spots will keep spreading.

If left unchecked, the disasters in North Continent’s Super Large Disaster Realm could lead to a massive disaster!

"And the decision... was not made because Zhou Jiren and Luo Er hold honorable status," Mr. Gu said softly. "In the face of such massive disaster, the trapped have no distinction of rank... Even if Duke Zhuxue were inside when the time came to destroy it, it would still need to be destroyed. It’s just that afterward, a larger monument would be erected."

Gu Shen muttered, "The video mentioned... the Old World Route..."

"To be precise, the Old World Route unencumbered by dark spots."

Mr. Gu spoke calmly, "This is the reason why the North Continent Military Department ordered the protection of this Disaster Realm... The information in that video is actually quite substantial."

He stretched out two fingers.

In the video screenshot, on the last frame, he began to zoom in on that silvery white spot.

In Zhong Wei’s line of sight, that silver spot, nestled between two towering mountains... was almost too small to be seen directly, but after hundreds of times magnification and clear processing, it vaguely became visible.

Was it a...

ferry point?

"Logically speaking, a Disaster Realm forming a closed loop would likely exhibit a boundless, endless vista, almost never having such a ’ferry point’. Such a place can generally be considered a ’connection point.’"

Mr. Gu said, "That small spot provided by Zhong Wei at the end, is likely the connection point between the Moon City Fortress Disaster Realm and the real world... It could lead to another place."

"Is this... the entrance to the Route?" Gu Shen’s pupils constricted slightly.

"Exactly," Gu Qilin said, "and if the Disaster Realm were ever destroyed, it would no longer have the ability to regenerate. This means that we would forever lose the linking entrance. This is why the North Continent Military Department decided to protect this Disaster Realm."

"Most importantly... the ’connection point’ within this Disaster Realm is likely to appear randomly."

Mr. Gu narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you remember the six people who were sent out through the gate? Deep Sea scanned the memories of those two unconscious individuals... and found they each saw a different Dream..."

"Is this why the teachers chose to stay in the Disaster Realm?"

Gu Shen caught on immediately, muttering to himself, "If they chose to leave the Disaster Realm and re-enter... the connection point might disappear."

"Exactly, because no one knows what pattern these dark spots have," Gu Qilin said gravely. "Perhaps they have no pattern at all... so we must be careful! Every action from the outside could lead to changes in the Disaster Realm. Now the Fourth Legion is fully alert just to prevent this Disaster Realm from contacting any creature again and causing anomalies!"

"The Old World Route..."

Gu Shen rubbed his temples, asking, "What is it exactly?"

Something that made the North Continent Military Department pay such close attention!

A high-ranking general personally stationed while evacuating the entire Fortress’s population; obviously, they were preparing for a prolonged battle.

Mr. Gu didn’t answer directly but instead posed a question to Gu Shen.

"You’ve been to Qingzhong, you must have seen the ’Giant Statue Ruins’ there, right?"

Gu Shen paused.

"Do you think... those things were constructed by us?" Gu Qilin asked meaningfully.

Gu Shen shook his head.

Those giant statues, their history was too ancient.

Counting from the beginning of the new era, it was no more than six hundred years.

"It’s like the question everyone asks after they are born... where do we come from, where do we go," Mr. Gu said softly. "Standing on the torrent of history, there is a similar question, where does humanity come from, where does it go?"

Gu Shen understood somewhat.

But he didn’t fully understand.

"The Giant Statue Ruins date from before the new era; no one knows who built those carved giant stones," Gu Qilin said with a smile. "Likewise, it’s been over six hundred years since the new era began, and no one knows exactly what the Old World is. That is probably where we ’come’ from... A long time ago, I heard a rumor that beyond the giant wall of North Continent, among those shattered, collapsed voids, there’s an ’Oasis’ that holds the hope of the Old World. And to find it, one needs to endure endless hardships and overcome countless dangers."

Gu Shen thought back to the scene he had just witnessed in the Super Large Disaster Realm.

Endless Wind Snow!

Frost as sharp as knives!

He then thought of Li Family’s Divine Temple Mountain... Outside the North Continent Fortress, the number of dark spots was countless, with each one possibly comparable to a Divine Temple Mountain capped with dark clouds.

In such a place outside... an ’Oasis’?

Impossible...

"You must be thinking, how could it be possible," Mr. Gu shrugged his shoulders, smiling, "I thought the same when I was young. When I had seen the Fortresses of North Continent and witnessed the billions of ’dark spots’ stretching as far as the eye could see, I thought even a god couldn’t pass through the ’Black Sea’ beyond North Continent to reach the so-called ’Old World Oasis.’"
