Chapter 416: Chapter 85: The Navigation Routes of the Old World (Major Chapter, Asking for Monthly Votes!)_4

"But... what I can tell you is,"

"For many years, humanity has never given up searching for the ’Oasis’... Many top Transcendents from the Five Continents, once their strength reaches a certain level, will join the Investigation Corps and cross the giant wall to explore the outside world."

Gu Qilin narrowed his eyes in thought. "For example... you should know, from Dadu District, Mr. Gu Zhi?"

Gu Shen nodded his head...

Shuang Chuan, Gu Zhi.

This was a Titled powerhouse of considerable strength!

If he remembered correctly, Mr. Gu Zhi had acquired his "Title" at the North Continent Fortress and, due to an accident that injured him and caused his strength to decrease, he left North Continent and came to Da Du with Chen San.

"The most difficult exploration for the Oasis is the ’black spots’. Besides the Divine Throne and Angel Envoys who can ignore the black spots and forcibly trek for a distance, it’s almost impossible for others to travel long distances... This is the reason for building the Fortress. Its construction and repairs took great effort and time, but it has proved entirely worth it, not only for fending off the invasion of black spots but also for finding that legendary ’channel’."

Gu Shen began to vaguely understand.

In his mind, he silently contemplated the map of the North Continent.

Looking down from above,

that vast map of North Continent, the Fortress connected points into a line, forming a super-long, undulating line, but this line was merely one entrance side of the labyrinth.

If the "Oasis" truly existed... then each point on this long line could potentially be an entry point.

"This discovery is incredibly important. If this is a true ’channel’, then the history of mankind may very well welcome a brand-new breakthrough," Mr. Gu said with narrowed eyes, "Of course... all we can do now is wait."

"Your mentor, Zhou Jiren, might have to embark on a very long ’voyage’... and won’t be back for a long time."

The breeze on the rooftop blew gently,

"No one knows when he’ll return."

"And... no one can guarantee that he’ll definitely come back," Mr. Gu said calmly, "The worst outcome is... after a very long time, if there is still no word from the three who ventured out, North Continent can’t allow the Disaster Realm to expand endlessly. Thus, Her Majesty the Empress might personally take action to shatter the Disaster Realm. Everything, all broken apart."

These words sounded rather ominous.

But Gu Shen knew... this was, in fact, the most realistic scenario.

"If the Disaster Realm is shattered..."

"If Zhou Jiren has reached the true ’junction point’, then after the Disaster Realm shatters, he’ll need to find a new way home," Mr. Gu said slowly, "If he is still in the Disaster Realm at that time, then... he will be destroyed along with it."

Either scenario was terrible.

"However, judging by Zhu Xue’s attitude at the moment, North Continent is very patient, and the likelihood of shattering the Disaster Realm is not high."

Mr. Gu said indifferently, "At least they will wait until Moon City Fortress is completely engulfed... If Zhou Jiren still does not appear by then, I fear things will take a turn for the worse."

"Sigh..."

Gu Shen felt somewhat conflicted.

"This news may cause some unrest within Changye," Gu Qilin spoke. "You know... some people have been eyeing the position of Grand Judge, and now the two biggest troubles have disappeared."

Zhou Jiren, Luo Er.

"For you, this is probably bad news."

Gu Qilin let out a sigh, "Right after the news from North Continent was released, the East Continent Federation held an urgent meeting. The position of Grand Judge at the Judgement Institute is crucial, and in the absence of news about Zhou Jiren, someone needs to fill the role temporarily... and the most suitable candidate is Zhu Wang."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

"I heard about what happened at Snow Forbidden City a few days ago. Han Dang was pulling some dirty tricks behind the scene. Although you hit back, there might still be a next time..."

Mr. Gu revealed his hidden blade.

He smiled and said, "An orphan isn’t welcomed warmly... always being bullied is not a solution either. Maybe you should consider, the Gu family can look out for you."
