The cold mechanical voice spoke: [Your Excellency, in the next mission, you may select the Wraith realm as well as arrange for the candidates within]
"Very well"
Gu Qing Shan turned back to the screen and continued to pay attention to the exploration mission.
On the screen, the dark-skinned lanky man and the young man entered the underground cave.
After going underground, the two of them were clearly much more cautious.
They slowly moved forward in the darkness, occasionally stopping to observe their surroundings.
From the screen, they could only see the outlines of some underground ruins in the darkness as they followed the two of them.
"Report" Gu Qing Shan said.
The young man spoke to the screen: "Aside from the naked eye, all techniques are useless, but fortunately, there are a few paths here that can still be recognized despite being covered in dust"
"Follow the path and see what's at the end of the path" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two of them continued forward.
A few moments later.
The dark-skinned lanky man's voice came: "There's a blurry object in front of us on the right, it should be the remains of a building, we're going to take a look"
"Go ahead" Gu Qing Shan said.
His line of sight moved along with the two of them.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived at a relatively spacious area.
In front of them was a tall platform. Most of this platform had already collapsed, leaving only a pile of rubble behind.
"There seems to have been a stone statue on this platform, but after countless years, the statue has also been completely destroyed" the young man said.
"Can you restore this statue to its original state?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The young man replied: "There's too much damage, it might take a bit of time to find every part of the statue"
"The statue is worthless, we should look elsewhere" the dark-skinned lanky man also said.
"Restore the statue to its original state, I need to take a look" Gu Qing Shan said.
The young man and the dark-skinned lanky man exchanged glances, then helplessly crouched down and began to search for the broken parts of the statue.
About half an hour later, they finally found all the fragments of the statue and placed them on the ground.
The dark-skinned lanky man placed his hand on the fragments and shouted: "Restore to its original state"
All the fragments flew up and slowly gathered together to form a statue.
All of a sudden, the screen of light in front of Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
Two hurried screams resounded in her ears.
Heaven and earth turned upside down.
At the very next moment, Gu Qing Shan found herself back in the dark tunnel.
It was quiet all around. There was no sound.
"What's going on?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
A mechanical voice sounded from the black watch.
"Your Holiness, the two cannon fodder discovered a statue that they couldn't face directly. They're dead."
"In order to ensure your safety, I immediately activated the teleportation spell and teleported you out of the ruins within the eleventh scale."
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Dead?
The dark-skinned tall man and the youth didn't even have time to react before they died just like that?
"A statue that can't be looked at directly … do we have any records of such a thing?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The mechanical voice continued: [According to the statistics of previous explorations, the various types of cannon fodder had encountered the 'Statues that Cannot Be Faced' three times in total, and all of them died, thus determining its name as the 'Statues that Cannot Be Faced']
"Do we have any information about this statue?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"No," the mechanical voice replied.
All dead …
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.
— — -this is a place that even the four Gods of the void have to be cautious of.
If it's so dangerous, why did the four Evil Gods insist on exploring this place?
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned, then suddenly said: "I want to select personnel to continue the exploratory mission"
[Please select a world and personnel] the mechanical voice replied.
"Wraith realm" Gu Qing Shan replied.
A screen of light appeared in front of him.
A dark temple appeared on the screen.
[This is the most powerful world: Wraith realm's Wraith Temple. You can immediately announce what personnel you need] the mechanical voice replied.
Gu Qing Shan put his hand on the screen and said: "Personnel confirmed: Fate Obstruction, Giant Frame, and Karmic Flame, the three Wraith Lords"
[Please select the corresponding mission] the mechanical voice replied.
"The mission is still to explore the eleventh scale ruins, have them enter the cave just now and conduct the corresponding exploration] Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Understood"
…
The Wraith realm.
The three Wraith Lords weren't in the Wraith Temple.
They were standing outside a magnificent palace, and behind them were countless evil spirits.
Wraith Lord Giant Frame took a step forward and sent his voice into the palace: "City Lord Fei Yue, we have something to report"
A few moments later.
Fei Yue's voice resounded from inside the palace: "Go ahead"
Wraith Lord Giant Frame clasped his fist: "After much consideration, we have decided to bring forward the date of the wedding"
Fei Yue's voice suddenly became louder: "We already agreed to hold the wedding three days later, why are we bringing it forward? Do you think my marriage is a trifling matter? "
Wraith Lord Giant Frame didn't say anything. Wraith Lord Karmic Flame took a step forward and said: "City Lord Fei Yue, we've already made it clear, we urgently need your power right now, no matter what — — -"
His words abruptly stopped.
An unusual fluctuation descended from above, descending upon the three Wraith Lords.
"This is — —"
"How strange, why did the three of us be chosen at the same time!?"
"Hurry to the Wraith Temple!"
The three Wraith Lords all disappeared.
Inside the palace, everyone who was waiting were all shocked.
The Ominous Demon Tower's master asked: 「 What's going on? Why did they suddenly run away? 」
Buttercup replied: "I'm not sure, they clearly came to force Fei Yue, why did they disappear?"
Fei Yue said nothing and coldly looked outside the palace, saying: "We don't know, but the wraiths all know what happened"
Everyone looked outside.
Only to see that the Wraith Lords' subordinates were all standing still.
Crow suddenly spoke up: "Hah, from the looks of it, those three Wraith Lords will return sooner or later"
…
Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the screen of light.
On the screen, the three Wraith Lords suddenly appeared inside the Wraith Temple.
The fluctuation of a teleportation technique surrounded them. As the teleportation was about to complete, the three Wraith Lords leapt onto the platform at the same time.
Their bodies slowly turned into stone.
— — -they had turned into three statues!
At the same time, a mechanical voice abruptly spoke up:
[Your excellency, the ones you've chosen have rejected this summoning]
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Can they still refuse?"
The mechanical voice explained: [Within the 36,000 worlds, no mortal can refuse the summoning of the four Gods, but the three of them have the same level of authority as your excellency, so they can refuse the summoning]
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "Why do they have the same level of authority as the four Gods?"
The mechanical voice replied: [Because aside from Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, there is a fifth level of authority, which grants them the right to refuse]
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "Who does the fifth level of authority belong to?"
The mechanical voice replied: [There is no relevant explanation]
"Is the fifth level of authority higher, or the four Gods' authority higher?"
[The fifth level of authority] the mechanical voice replied.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything else.
He stared closely at the three statues on the screen of light, his thoughts churning.
The wraiths.
There are too many secrets.
What kind of entity would grant them the same level of authority as the four Gods?
If the four Gods are exploring this dark tunnel, then what about the wraiths? What are they doing here?
… I need to make another trip to the Wraith realm to see for myself what's going on in this world.
To the Wraith realm …
Gu Qing Shan suddenly thought of something.
He took out the pocket watch and opened it.
There were six markings on the pocket watch.
— — -this was something given by the Eternal Abyss.
Gu Qing Shan put the pocket watch on his wrist, at the same level as the black watch.
There were 12 markings on the black watch.
These were left behind by the four Evil Gods.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the pocket watch, then at the black watch.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock …
Within the silent darkness, the two watches gave off the sound of the ticking of the needle.
