Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of the sea, reaching his hand out towards the void of space in front of him.
There was clearly nothing there, but he felt a door.
Indeed, this was the door to the Abyssal Jail.
But Gu Qing Shan didn't have the triangular key anymore.
"[True Crimson Demon Spear]!"
Gu Qing Shan shouted in a low voice.
A spear glowing with boundless crimson light appeared in his hand.
Gu Qing Shan swung the spear and casually sliced through the void of space.
Rocks scattered — — -
The door was directly cut open.
Gu Qing Shan jumped through the door and followed the same path as last time.
The same path.
But unlike last time, there was no wind at all in this passage.
"Did Magic Dragon's presence disappear?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He followed the long passage, when he felt that he was close enough, he used the [True Crimson Demon Spear] to break through the wall and continued to dig upwards.
— — as a cultivator, his memory of distance and direction was almost impeccable.
Not too long later, he once again reached the safe passage he came from last time.
After silently preparing for a few breaths' worth of time, Gu Qing Shan took a step forward.
Kacha!
Something around him seemed to have been activated as the sound of machinery could be heard.
A cold and emotionless voice resounded:
[Begin examination]
"According to his vital signs, he is confirmed to be a human civilian, a teenager."
[In accordance with wartime protection principles, children are permitted to enter the Abyssal Jail for temporary refuge]
[Please do not move, you are being transported to a safe location]
The voice disappeared.
A round disk appeared under Gu Qing Shan's feet and carried him deeper into the darkness.
Gu Qing Shan was glad.
I've finally grown from a child to a youth.
That wasn't easy.
Gu Qing Shan stood on the round disk for a while, but noticed that unlike last time, the disk didn't take him to see the sleeping Magic Dragon's body.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and asked: "I heard that there's a Magic Dragon here"
The round disk replied: [Magic Dragon is dead]
Gu Qing Shan froze.
It's dead?
No —
That Magic Dragon was very cunning and full of schemes. How could he have been killed by a sudden incident?
Gu Qing Shan asked in a deep voice, "Is Magic Dragon's corpse still there?"
"Yes, please look at your feet."
Gu Qing Shan looked down and saw that the endless darkness was dispelled by the light, and a huge dragon head appeared in front of him.
Gu Qing Shan floated above the dragon's head like a firefly dancing on the boundless earth.
Gu Qing Shan carefully examined the Magic Dragon's body and found that the Magic Dragon seemed to be soaked in seawater.
However, the seawater was misty blue-green, which blocked Gu Qing Shan's vision, so he could only see the vague outline of the dragon's head.
"Why is its body soaked in water?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[That's not water, it's the Abyssal Tide from the Eternal Abyss, collected by human cultivators in the past for research purposes] the round disk replied.
Gu Qing Shan was confused: "Why would Magic Dragon's body be soaked in water?"
[During an emergency a few years ago, Magic Dragon fought against the resurrected Fate Weaver. They broke through the container used to store the Abyssal Tide. Magic Dragon killed the Fate Weaver again, but he also used up all his power and died inside the Abyssal Tide] the round disk explained.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while.
He recalled the conversation he had with Magic Dragon at the time.
"I need you to give me a command" Magic Dragon said.
"I'm just a normal child, I'm afraid I won't be able to do that" I told him.
"No, after the Bygone Era ended, no one has ever come here, so the AI's judgment rules have been lowered to the lowest level, the only requirement is that you have to be human" Magic Dragon explained.
Magic Dragon seems to want me to give a certain command.
Command …
Gu Qing Shan asked: "I'm a human, can I give any command here?"
The round disk immediately replied: [Indeed, it has been over a hundred million years since a human has come here, so you will be given the highest authority in this Abyssal Jail]
"What can I do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The round disk replied: [After a long time, this Abyssal Jail has become extremely broken, many commands can no longer be carried out. There are only two commands you can give: first, release Magic Dragon; second, open or close the Abyssal Fate Weaver's corpse storage room]
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan was a bit moved.
That's right.
Magic Dragon was granted the position of Lord of the Wraith Realm, allowing him to evolve once every few hundred thousand years, but he still wasn't satisfied with that.
What Magic Dragon wanted was freedom!
He craved the power of the Abyss!
Gu Qing Shan looked down below.
Magic Dragon's corpse that was soaked in the Abyssal Tide was gigantic and blurry, as if it was shrouded in an invisible fog.
Is he really dead?
In the true history of the Age of Old, I didn't appear in this place, nor did I see Magic Dragon.
In other words, no human has ever come here, and no one has released Magic Dragon.
Under such circumstances, what would Magic Dragon do?
Gu Qing Shan pulled her gaze back.
"Can you take me to see the Abyssal Fate Weaver's corpse?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[You are the only human to appear in over a hundred million years, of course you can enter] the round disk replied.
"I won't be in any danger, will I?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
[You won't, the Abyssal Fate Weaver's soul has never been able to return to its corpse, so it wouldn't know of your arrival. Furthermore, a weak, ant-like human commoner who had just entered puberty like yourself wouldn't be able to trigger the Abyssal Fate Weaver's defensive instincts] the round disk replied.
Gu Qing Shan begrudgingly said: "That's quite fortunate"
The round disk didn't say anything else and sped up, bringing Gu Qing Shan towards a certain direction.
A few dozen minutes later.
The round disk brought Gu Qing Shan to a large metal door.
This door seemed to be a bit new.
"A new door?"
Gu Qing Shan observed the door and asked.
[Indeed, when the Abyssal Fate Weaver resurrected last time, it damaged the door, so we replaced it with a backup door]
[Backup …]
[Don't worry, this door is sturdier than the previous one, and when the Abyssal Fate Weaver died, its soul was once again expelled]
"Are you sure?"
[I'm very sure of this, my duty was specifically designed to deal with it]
The round disk continued: [Don't worry, I have gathered all of the necessary energy to ensure your safety]
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit.
Although it said that, with Magic Dragon as an example, Gu Qing Shan still felt a bit unreliable …
But the truth is right in front of me.
If I can't see the truth with my own eyes, then no matter how many preparations I make later on, it would only be a final struggle.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "Open the door"
The metal door rumbled and retreated to both sides.
Ahead of them was a vast expanse of darkness.
The round disk brought Gu Qing Shan inside.
This time, the round disk's speed was a lot slower.
It was becoming cautious.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to ask, she understood the reason.
The vast darkness was filled with thick white threads, and they were spread out in all directions like a net.
[Attention, do not touch those white threads, they will cause you to be unable to move, and as you struggle, the threads will activate the Abyssal Fate Weaver's body and awaken its predatory instincts]
"It's already dead, but its body still has predatory instincts?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
[Indeed]
"… I remember you saying that this place is safe"
[This is already very safe]
[You call this safe …]
The round disk continued to fly forward.
A few moments later.
The round disk slowed down.
It silently descended and hovered in the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan saw the Abyssal Fate Weaver.
Different from what Gu Qing Shan had imagined, its body was only about a meter in size, a far cry from Magic Dragon's size.
Looking at its lower body alone, the Abyssal Fate Weaver looked like a colorful spider.
But if one looked further up, they would find that its upper body was actually that of a human female.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver had a pair of slender black arms, but its body was snow-white, its facial features were alluring, and its pair of blue-green eyes were staring straight at Gu Qing Shan.
All the white threads in the darkness were surrounding it.
It was completely still.
