Chapter 744: Chapter 7 Heading North_3

This was why Aluer insisted on using special means.

Unfortunately, these words might deceive Deep Sea, yet they could not hide from the omnipresent Battle God Throne within Snow Forbidden City.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

This was, after all, a Divine Throne...

What exactly had happened to make an Angel Envoy speak of her being in a poor state?

The condition of the Beizhou Empress must be worse than what Aluer had described.

Almost instantly, Gu Shen thought of the event at Moon City Fortress from a year ago, the emergence of the Super Large Disaster Realm, and the North Continent Army’s swift response.

It had been Duke Zhuxue who, at that time, had taken full control of the situation, promptly positioning Rust Bone General for defense and evacuating the forces within Moon City, initiating a retreat and coordinating with everyone in the defensive efforts, adopting a "tolerant" stance towards the rapid expansion of this realm of disaster.

At the time, everyone believed.

This tolerance was purely an exploration of hopes for the "Oasis."

Her Majesty the Empress, along with the entire North Continent Army, were willing to trust the Grand Judge and the selfless sacrifice hinted at by Heaven’s Eye... They were also willing to stake their bets on this gamble.

But now, connecting with the news revealed by Aluer.

Gu Shen sensed a different implication.

Perhaps... the Empress’ "poor condition" was not something that had just appeared this year.

It was very likely that a year ago, she was already unable to handle the Super Large Disaster Realm easily, and at that time, the entire North Continent was undergoing a massive purge, a reorganization... Such news, once exposed, would undoubtedly add to the "disaster" on top of the existing calamity for the North Continent.

After sharing this news.

Aluer no longer hid anything.

Her visit here was to seek help.

Aluer said gravely, "A few days ago, Her Majesty the Empress saw ’fate’s guidance’..."

"Fate’s... guidance?"

"In the near future, North Continent Fortress might face an assault." Aluer spoke calmly: "The key factor to alleviate this crisis lies in East Continent, Changye, Qingzhong Cemetery."

This was almost an outright call-out.

In Qingzhong Cemetery, with the passing of Master Qianye, only he remained.

And those who had journeyed far to Moon City Fortress were his teacher, senior brother, and senior sisters.

"Her Majesty the Empress can see fate’s guidance... Is this the power of the Spark? But this so-called guidance, isn’t it a bit too vague?"

Gu Shen asked thoughtfully, "Is it similar to some kind of ’Divination Skill’?"

"No..."

Aluer shook her head and said, "While it also involves ’foresight,’ the ’guidance’ Her Majesty sees is not the same as Divination. She can see the endlessly changing, boundless possibilities, and most importantly... she does not have to pay a price for it."

She went silent for a short while.

"As for whether this is the power of the Spark, I do not know... All I know is that this is a ’skill’ created by Her Majesty herself, and it has existed for a long time."

Speaking to this point, Aluer softly added, "I suspect that Her Majesty created this skill, perhaps inspired by the Tomb Guardian of Qingzhong Cemetery..."

Master Qianye was the inheritor of Divination... The power of foresight of this skill is coveted by many.

However.

What people aspire to even more, is the life-and-death bond between Qianye and Gu Changzhi.

Gu Shen was somewhat astonished... That Her Majesty the Empress indeed possessed extraordinary talents, had she truly created a skill comparable to "Divination"?

"I believe, you won’t refuse an invitation to head north."

Aluer earnestly looked at Gu Shen, saying, "Your teacher, senior brother, and senior sisters, all disappeared within the Moon City Fortress, it has already been a year, and there has been no news of them or the ’Oasis’... This investigation to the north might just uncover new clues."

...

...

The Source Energy Boat was anchored just outside the northern borders of Changye.

Gu Shen and Aluer stood atop a desolate hill, watching the Source Energy Airship slowly approaching. This was Gu Shen’s first time seeing such a "big toy" up close.

Each year, the North Continent invested a significant amount of funds into the development of "Source Energy," a mature energy technology.

Extraordinary Essence could be captured and utilized... this was not exactly "new."

Changye had built Qingzhong.

Central Continent had Source Tower.

Similar "Miracle Lands" existed in several other places... And for the North Continent, the most important creation was the new generation of "Source Energy."

Using Strong Logic Material to trap Extraordinary Essence and utilizing specific ancient characters to outline Array Patterns to deconstruct the "Extraordinary Essence," this technology had long been born.

Many years ago, while exploring Extraordinary Abilities, humanity also began to explore how to utilize Extraordinary Essence.

However, the journey of "Source Energy" exploration was fraught with difficulties.

Not until the emergence of Allen Turing, when this genius scientist made a breakthrough in the field of "Strong Logic Material" at a young age, did Source Energy take a significant step forward... At that time, humans still fantasized about this formidable power, never imagining that in just a few years, Deep Sea would emerge, optimizing algorithms to an unprecedented level, increasing the efficiency of Source Energy by dozens of times.

The new generation of ancient script linkages could stimulate the source material to produce tremendous kinetic energy, and the combustion efficiency of these linkage equations was remarkably high.

Most importantly, they were stable.
