What's going on here?
She was usually a composed person, but at this moment, she was still startled by the voice and her face turned pale.
That little girl was the most talented student in the Jiangnan Academy, even better than Chen Ying. Given time, she would surely become the best array master in the academy. As her mentor, she had always favored talented students, so she gave her a mark this time.
As the Great God Ziwei, I oversee all the sorcerers in Jiangnan, but it still requires a considerable amount of Power of Faith to communicate with my believers from thousands of miles away. Among all my students, only that girl has this mark, which allows her to send me a message from a distance, thus revealing her location.
The reason for this was that she had anticipated the dangers of the trip, so she set this mark on the youngest and most qualified girl to make it easier for her to rescue her in a critical moment.
At the start of the crisis, Chen Qing preemptively placed all the students of the Jiangnan Academy, except for Shen Yuan, into a pre-prepared fragment. He originally thought that this mark would not be needed, but he did not expect it to happen at this time.
Ziyue has experienced countless things over the years, but she still can't calm down at this moment. If Chen Qing hadn't been focused on the head guard, he would have noticed that something was wrong with Ziyue.
At this moment, the captain of the guard did not make a move easily. This guy in front of him clearly knew a lot of secrets, so he guessed that the contract golem was actually not far away. It could have come over but dared not, so it could use that forbidden power indefinitely.
Because of the golem lurking around, he dared not use his full strength lightly, otherwise, if he overexerted himself, it would be a situation where someone else would reap the benefits.
This kid's got some nerve, actually using this method to restrict himself.
But he was curious; this stalemate couldn't go on forever. What else did he have in mind to break the deadlock?
At this moment, the guard captain's doubts were also Ziyue's doubts. Ziyue put aside her suspicions and transmitted her voice, "What do you plan to do next?"
"Wait for the right opportunity." Chen Qing gave only an ambiguous answer.
Ziyue didn't press for details about the timing. Telepathy isn't always safe; both the head guard and the monster lurking in the shadows might have the ability to intercept telepathy, so being cautious was a good thing.
How confident are you?
"I'm not very confident." Chen Qing's expression remained unchanged, but there was a bitter smile in his voice, "You really screwed me over this time. If I'm lucky enough to get back alive, you'll have to make it up to me."
How can I compensate you?
"Give me another mark?"
Ziyue's bloodied and mangled face twitched slightly, and her heart skipped a beat. This guy really knows how to pick his timing to provoke her at this moment.
Rolling her eyes, Ziyue deliberately avoided the topic and suddenly changed the subject. "Where are the students? You didn't bring them with you, did you?"
"How could that be?" Chen Qing curled his lip. "You're facing a near-death experience here, how could I dare to take them? I naturally gave them to Shen Qi and instructed him to lead the West Sea Army back to Jiangnan if things went wrong. Those students are all quite capable. Even if Jiangnan falls into the wrong hands in the future, those students will still be excellent talents, and no one will deliberately target them."
"That's true. Shen Qi is a reliable person." Ziyue sighed and said, "Knowing that the chances of survival are slim, why did you come?"
"When you marked me, wasn't it because you were afraid of death? If you're so afraid of death, how could I not come?" Chen Qing laughed.
Ziyue: "."
So, is this guy real or fake?
He looks so much like Chen Qing, and the feeling of the mark is correct. I have only planted two marks in my life, one for Chen Qing and one for A Li. There is no mistake. The mark on Chen Qing's body is the one I planted.
But if this is real, then who is the master beside the little girl?
Why was she able to be brought out?
Chen Qing said that everyone in Jiangnan was with Shen Qi. If that little girl had been kidnapped, she shouldn't have said that in the telepathic communication; she should have asked for help instead.
If it was a scam, who could impersonate Chen Qing and fool Shen Qi to bring this little girl in?
What exactly is going on?
"My Lord, this place is truly wondrous. Was it really created? And what kind of beings were created? Were they God?"
The little girl was so engrossed in complex calculations that she could still ask questions, leaving Chen Qing speechless.
He considers himself a top student. Back in college, he was in the computer science department, but he could compete with the best students in the math competitions.
But this little girl in front of me is clearly a monster; she can multitask even under such highly complex calculations.
"I guess you could call him a god."
"I guess so?"
Chen Qing sighed. According to the design of the fourth version, those monsters could indeed be considered gods, capable of destroying a world at will and creating their own rules, essentially gods of chaos and destruction.
The Outer Heaven Demon Statue comes from another universe and is a being on a completely different level from this one; their collision is equivalent to a collision between two worlds.
My own world is just one of billions of stars that have been invaded. From a dimensional perspective, it is not an exaggeration to call the other party a god.
"Did Ziyue reply to you?" Chen Qing asked the crucial question.
"No," the little girl pouted, "She's lying. When I was scared before, she said that as long as I contacted her using that mark, she would come to me immediately, no matter when."
"Let's go save her now." Chen Qing patted the other's head. "If you save her, you can brag about it throughout the whole academy, and she won't be able to argue with you."
"That's right!" The little girl immediately broke into a happy smile, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, clearly imagining the scene of showing off among her senior brothers and sisters in the academy after she succeeded.
Chen Qing was speechless, because even under these circumstances, the little girl's hands never stopped moving, and the entire complex formation continued to advance in an orderly manner. That's quite an achievement.
Chen Qing even wondered if she was a computer.
But now that I think about it, all the life forms here are digital life forms, so having this kind of ability isn't really an exaggeration, right?
"Alright!"
Suddenly, the little girl exclaimed in delight.
Chen Qing quickly looked over and saw that the elements within the entire complex array were flowing smoothly. All the chaotic elements around him were restored to their original state, just like in the real world.
"Great, this is it!" Chen Qing exclaimed excitedly. This little girl is truly a treasure; she managed to create this formation in such a short time.
Originally, there was no chance of winning against those monsters, but with this, at least there's hope for a fight!
"My lord, what is the specific function of this formation?"
"It's the clarion call for a counterattack," Chen Qing laughed. " The Outer Demon can constantly attack us through this space, while humanity needs to launch a counterattack while it's at its strongest. The world's resources are limited; if we can't break out, we'll be worn down and killed. This formation is the first step towards breaking out!"
