Are you alright?
Miss Sword Case's urgent voice rang in my ears.
Qin Ze opened his eyes; he had already left that white, void world.
Miss Sword Case breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her good friend had finally woken up.
"You have no idea how scary you were just now; I couldn't wake you up no matter how much I called you."
Qin Ze patted Miss Sword Case on the shoulder. "I'm sorry to have worried you."
Miss Sword Case said happily, "I'm so glad you're alright."
Qin Ze looked inward into his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, where the streaks of blood were particularly noticeable.
That divine thought was both a test and a gift.
Qin Ze sighed, "This is probably the last ripple left by Master Desolate after crossing an era."
Qin Ze could clearly feel that after being sharpened by the "whetstone," his mental strength had become more resilient.
The reason there seems to be no significant improvement now is because it's being suppressed by the current level.
Once he breaks through the shackles, his mental strength will experience an explosive growth.
As for this constraint... Qin Ze couldn't help but look at the progress bar of the Source of God.
Take your time, there's no rush.
After leaving that white, empty space, the Local Area Network was back online.
After a long silence, Qin Ze felt as if his head had exploded with a "boom," as if tens of thousands of ducks were quacking at the same time.
"That's Master Desolate. He looks quite ordinary."
"Waaaaah~ Master Desolate, don't go!"
"You've cried at the wrong grave; you're now a follower of the Pretty God."
"Master Qin, when are you going to take us to ascend to immortality?"
"..."
Qin Ze retorted irritably, "If you had doubled your efforts in cultivation, I would have already taken you to ascension."
"The current situation is entirely your doing."
The clones. "..."
Qin Ze looked at the girl in front of him. "I will take you out of here, I promise."
The girl smiled sweetly, "We each have our own Fate to fulfill, and I think we will meet again soon."
After completing the map run, the Magician suddenly waved at Qin Ze and shouted, "I've found my spot!"
Qin Ze looked up and saw the Magician standing in front of the Goddess of the Dark Night.
The Magician stomped his right foot a few times. "This is it."
Qin Ze looked at the white spot at the Magician's feet, where a light blue mark was faintly glowing.
The Magician said, "I can feel it calling to me."
A Bing corrected. "It's not summoning you, it's summoning your Soul Orb."
The mark resonated with the Magician's Soul Orb.
However, due to the Magician's obstruction, the resonance has not yet fully erupted.
Qin Ze murmured, "This is what the God of Machinery meant by 'sitting in your place'."
The Magician hurriedly asked, "Shall I sit down now?"
He couldn't wait to Reversal of the Overall Situation.
Qin Ze shook his head. "Wait a minute."
He then asked the girl in front of him, "Do you know which four seats are on this mountain?"
Zi Yue looked completely bewildered. "What location?"
Qin Ze frowned slightly.
It seems this matter has nothing to do with the girl, so she is unaware of the relevant information.
Qin Ze walked to the steps on both sides and personally ran through the map again.
He soon discovered that not only the Goddess of the Dark Night, but also the other three gods had similar marks on their chests.
However, the other three marks were gray and did not glow faintly like the mark of the Goddess of the Dark Night.
A bystander, a self-proclaimed "Onmyoji," commented, "There's definitely a spot up there that's mine."
The Clown said, "That's mine too."
The Magician boasted to the two of them, "But I was the first to sit, the first achievement is mine!"
The Onmyoji scoffed, "Nobody cares."
The Magician said earnestly, "Child, you can't only acknowledge the weight of the scales when they tip in your favor; that will only make you look like a Clown."
The Clown, caught in the heat of battle, was inexplicably called out, "What's it to me?"
The Magician waved his hand. "I didn't call you, go play somewhere else."
He looked at Qin Ze, eager to try, and asked, "Is it done yet?"
Qin Ze said helplessly, "What's the rush?"
"I'm thinking about your safety right now, don't you understand?"
"Mr. Magician, you wouldn't want to sit down and pass away, leaving the Soul Orb to belong to someone else, would you?"
The Magician snapped to attention and stopped urging him, "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry, take your time to think it over."
Qin Ze looked at the four marks, lost in thought.
"The quantities don't match."
There are a total of five Soul Orb, or even six, but currently there are only four corresponding marks.
Even if destruction and creation each occupy only one space, there's still one short.
Qin Ze's gaze involuntarily focused on the girl being held in the hands of the four gods.
With this in mind, Qin Ze went to the girl again and gave her a physical examination.
"Strangeness."
Qin Ze muttered to himself.
There were no similar marks on the girl's chest.
Zi Yue's face flushed crimson, and she gently bit her lower lip.
Qin Ze explained, "I just checked the power within you, and it's not a big problem for now."
Zi Yue nodded, letting out a sound softer than a mosquito's buzz, "Mmm."
The Magician yawned. "So, what do I say now? Should I still listen to the God of Machinery?"
Brother Devour said, "I think we can give it a try."
" Master Desolate said that it's impossible for this plan, which has been in the works for an entire era, to fail at the crucial moment."
"If the God of Machinery is wrong, even if the Goddess of the Dark Night and the God of the Sky remain silent, the God of War will eventually step forward and say something."
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, then said to the Magician, "You may sit down now."
The Magician's face lit up with delight. "Then I'll sit down!"
Immediately, the Magician activated the power of the Soul Orb within his body, and three cards simultaneously emerged from the void, swirling rapidly around him.
The sun, moon, and stars twinkled around the Magician, echoing the blue light emanating from the mark, and the bridge of resonance between them was completed at this moment.
"Now tell me loudly, who is it really...?"
The Magician's voice abruptly stopped.
The young man stood at attention, his body taut and straight.
The power of the Soul Orb, mediated by the body of the Goddess of the Dark Night, connects with the Tomb of the Gods and continues to spread into the Abyss.
Rumble--
The Tomb of the Gods trembled and emitted deafening roars.
A massive beam of blue light shot into the sky from the Goddess of the Dark Night, piercing a hole in the dome.
Through the hole, Qin Ze saw an irregular geometric solid and a cold, emotionless eye on it.
The will of Heaven poured down, and the Tomb of the Gods was put on pause; the roaring and turmoil ceased.
Chaos spread rapidly through the hole, and Qin Ze felt his hands and feet turn ice-cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The God of Machinery, watching from afar, was overjoyed.
"It's done!"
It really worked!
The Goddess of the Dark Night breathed a sigh of relief, "Now it's proven that this plan works."
The God of the Sky spread his wings and took flight. "Stop dawdling, keep Him outside first."
