Gu Qingshan grabbed the Black Giant Crab and returned to this side of the Void Turbulence.
"Young Master, that was really dangerous just now."
Mountain Girl's frightened voice sounded from his Sea of Consciousness.
The moment Gu Qingshan returned, she had slipped into his Sea of Consciousness.
"Yeah. I almost didn't make it back."
Gu Qingshan let out a breath and set the crab down.
The two worlds had finished overlapping. For now, the Crimson Shadow couldn't follow him through.
Next, he needed to find an opportunity to ask this crab what message it had brought.
But first, he had to explain where the crab had come from to everyone.
Gu Qingshan suddenly realized something was wrong.
There was no sound around him.
Everyone was still standing there, waiting anxiously—but it seemed none of them could see Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan called out to Crow and the Plush Duck, "Hey, what's going on with you two?"
Crow held the Thorn Sword, his expression calm and stern, as if ready to rush to the rescue at any moment.
But he didn't react at all. He couldn't hear Gu Qingshan or see him.
What was going on?
Gu Qingshan turned to look.
The Void Turbulence was still open.
—Could the worlds still be overlapping?
That would be trouble. The Crimson Shadow would definitely come after him.
As Gu Qingshan pondered this, a voice rose from beneath his feet:
"Don't worry. This is just an illusion. The worlds have actually finished overlapping, and that fellow can't get through."
The Black Giant Crab spoke.
Gu Qingshan looked at the crab, then at everyone else. "Why can't they see me?"
"Because I brought you a message, of course. No one else can know about it." The giant crab spoke as if this were only natural.
