Old World, Void Zone.
Two starships flew side by side, cutting through the shattered meteor currents as they advanced northward.
Besides them, a Great Snake traveled alongside the starships.
Within the Time Dojo, Gu Shen opened his eyes, and a dazzling, soul-stirring glint flashed through the depths of his pupils!
Just moments ago, he had sensed a familiar presence within his Mental Sea!
Though separated by countless miles, the spiritual auras of the Judge and the Iron Eater had entered his range of perception!
"Are we about to reach the Ice Sea region?"
Gu Shen drew a deep breath.
The spiritual auras of two Apostles had appeared within his sensing range... This meant he was now close to the territory of the Five Continents!
Sensing Mu Wanqiu and Shen Li should have been a tremendous joy.
Yet Gu Shen could not bring himself to feel happy.
An ominous premonition spread across the lake of his heart.
Netherfire ignited between his brows.
Gu Shen activated the King of the Underworld Authority, ignoring the final barrier of the void and forcibly establishing a Mental Link, summoning the two Apostles to meet him in the Four Seasons Wilderness.
The next moment.
Two hazy figures appeared upon the wilderness.
"Gu Shen—"
"Gu Shen!"
Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu both sensed Gu Shen's "return" immediately. Their spiritual responses were incredibly swift, and they arrived in the wilderness in an instant.
Seeing the familiar "Pure Land" and that towering Su Xuan Wood, the two hazy figures looked dazed for a moment.
Gu Shen's journey had been far too uncertain.
How could attaining godhood possibly have been smooth sailing?
Over these years, they had lived and died together, gathering rarely and parting often. Every meeting could have been their last.
After the Gubu War began.
