Chapter 162: Chapter 159: Passing Through Time and Space to Save the Past (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
The following day,
Fang You again attempted “Guidance·Awakening” on White Frost, Blade to Soul, and several newcomers.
He could already remotely control them with ease.
As for the ritual, it indeed required the “Faceless Statue,” which served to suppress the Mysterious Evil… He had even roughly figured out the steps of the heretical cult’s ritual.
But the Faceless Statue alone was far from sufficient.
There were many critical points to consider, and he might need the assistance of some materials.
He glanced at the mission “The Birth of the Fire Seed,” where the countdown was decreasing, and there was no other description.
After pondering for a while, Fang You headed to the fourth level of the base, the cultivation area.
At this time,
ten special soil districts had been carved out here, the reason for their extravagance being tied to a trade with the Investigation Bureau.
After receiving the Strange Crystals, he immediately established a planting garden and instructed Liu Chang to carry out some seed probability studies.
“These are improved seeds of wheat and rice, but they are normal crops, which might be hard to meet your expectations, Instructor. So, I fused rice with several mysterious species to create a new plant—Rice Grain Trees.”
A tree that could continuously grow rice.
The rice hanging from the tree was like willow branches, this particular one having been grown rapidly by Liu Chang’s ability, but according to her description, even at a normal growth rate, it was very fast. The rice would keep sprouting from the treetops, continuously harvested and growing.
While not of a high grade, the significance of such a crop was self-evident.
Fang You was fairly confident in resisting the world’s consumption, but it was wise to prepare for all eventualities—and even if he could hold off the threat, once the next phase came and the Tide of Gray Mist arrived, humanity’s range of activity would inevitably shrink further.
By then, there would be a shortage of food—in fact, it was already happening.
Rapidly growing food was essential for the future.
In the Ghastly Realm, the oases managed to sustain so many people in such limited space largely because of similar crops.
However,
“The taste is not quite there?”
“Yes, it’s not awful, but this rice, grown in an unconventional way, has a hard texture and a faint taste of rust.”
“But other than that, it’s normal, with no side effects.”
Liu Chang said.
Fang You fell silent for a moment, “Prepare some seeds of various types for me, and also…”
The specifics of the mission were unclear, so he could only prepare everything that came to mind.
Time flew by.
Within Dong Huang, a brief calm settled, and some ordinary people who had a vague understanding of the ‘unseen monsters’ suddenly noticed that the number of strange incidents in the country had decreased significantly.
The world seemed to be getting better.
Abroad, in Wavemist Nation, the heretical cultists also went quiet, while at the same time, Xiao Huan had already begun to search more broadly overseas for candidates.
The intelligence agents of Thousand Faces were also in the midst of intensive training.
Xiao Huan mentioned that from the few hundred newcomers who had just arrived, Thousand Faces had selected some promising individuals for cultivation.
Among them was one Awakener newcomer who had caught his/her particular attention, said to possess a ‘shape-shifting’ type of ability.
These individuals had already been taken away by Thousand Faces for secret training.
The other rookies, along with the exchange trainees from the Investigation Bureau, were fully focused on training, exhausting their physical strength.
When this group of investigators returned to headquarters, the difference would become evident.
At this time,
Fang You summoned the panel, which he could now call up without needing Xiao Huan’s projection.
Seven modules, seven functions, each glimmering like a radiant orb floating before him, among them, the countdown on the mission traversal module had already hit zero.
“Mission ‘The Birth of the Fire Seed’ has opened. Please enter promptly, Savior of Destiny, to avoid the anchored strings of fate drifting away.”
“Note: Mission traversal can only send ‘Angel Envoy·Savior of Destiny,’ and a limited amount of equipment and items may be carried along.”
“Ding!”
“Would you like to start the traversal?”
Beside him was Black Pupil, whom he had brought along.
Xiao Huan’s true form was currently attached to him.
Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m freewebnσvel.cøm.
They were not Angel Envoys, but accessories of the Savior of Destiny, whether they could pass through was not something he knew; he could only try.
He checked again the contents inside Heaven’s Net and the Flesh and Blood Bird, and after triple checking,
He began the traversal!
Hum——
Ripples appeared in space, time seemed to flow backward, and the scene before him started to distort.
Mountains, grass, lakes, human figures… all of these shrank rapidly, turning into insignificant fragments nested within an ancient and vast river.
He too was a tiny droplet in this mighty river, different from the other droplets as he was swimming against the current.
It was both guidance for traversal and instinct.
Step by step, he moved forward. Here, space and time lost their meaning, leaving only his minute figure advancing slowly in the ancient river.
Until suddenly,
Hum——
The rapid flow of the vast river slowed, the surrounding droplets of water came to a standstill, then began to stretch and swell.
Hazy and blurry,
As if an accelerated movie scene was slowly returning to its normal speed.
Restored to a normal state.
Ambiguous tree shadows, undulating hills, the gears of time started to move normally, insect and bird calls reached his ears, and the crystal-clear blue sky could be seen through the tree canopy.
“Ding!”
“Mission: The Birth of the Fire Seed has opened”
“Instructions: For this mission…¥#@%… limited stay duration…#¥@**+… the gaze from the distant beyond…%¥#%@… nurture the fire seeds, resist the shocks from the fissure.”
The data screen appeared but flickered uncertainly, much of the information on it garbled and obscured.
Fang You stood still, deep in thought.
“For now, I can only draw a few conclusions.”
“This is ancient times, but it’s uncertain whether it’s within Dong Huang or which era.”
“Also, I can stay here for a maximum of thirty days.”
But it seemed
he could only stay for thirty days, and the assault from the distant enemy was far from over.
He must leave behind enough sparks before he departs, or his mission would fail.
And the consequences of failure…
“Might be an even greater disaster in the future, or there might be no future at all.”
His brows furrowed as he thought about this; he dared not take anything lightly.
At this moment, Black Pupil and Little Illusion had not appeared, leaving Fang You somewhat disappointed, but it was also within his expectations. He held the Radiant Scepter in hand, and his radar of conviction spread out, causing various colors of specks to appear in the surrounding world.
Those of birds, rabbits, were all very weak.
Animals could not compare to intelligent beings like humans. Within his perception range, two to three kilometers away, there were several points of human conviction.
Snap—
A faint spark of flame was extinguished.
Surrounding it was a mixture of ‘chaotic’ and ‘filthy’ emotions.
“Heretical cultists?”
He suddenly stomped on the ground and shot out like an arrow leaving its bow. He leaped through the air, accelerating continuously. His figure, clad in a white robe, swept by like a streak of light, bursting open pale clouds of white waves along the way.
The distance of two to three kilometers was covered in an instant.
A village nestled between mountains came into view. Small buildings made of wood, stone, bricks, and tiles were scattered about, but now, they were ablaze with fire. Amidst the flames, blood flowed, and figures dressed strangely danced and contorted, using blood to draw.
Accompanied by a series of hoarse, low chants.
…
Not far away,
inside a half-collapsed wooden hut,
Wei Jingwu crouched down, looking at those who seemed like demons. His eyes were filled with rage, and he felt like biting until blood flowed from his gums.
“These people, they deserve death!”
He slowly raised his homemade wooden bow, pulling the bowstring back bit by bit until it reached its limit. The arrow aimed at one of the figures dancing strangely beside the fire. With a swoosh, it was released.
Carrying the sound of splitting the air.
The next moment, it was caught in the hand of that figure.
Catching the arrow barehanded!
“Gibberish…”
“Hee-la, hee-la…”
The strange figure, as if finding amusement, supported itself on its hands and used all fours to scamper onto the roof. In the blink of an eye, it appeared only a few meters away from him.
This wasn’t human; it was a monster.
The terror of death enveloped him, and the twisted face loomed larger and larger before his eyes. In the next moment,
Boom—
Brilliant thunderbolts fell from the heavens, as if an angry deity was striking down, instantly obliterating the monster in front of them. More thunderbolts rained down, with precise bolts of lightning that snaked through the air, annihilating each and every strange figure without harming anything else.
A person in a white robe approached from afar, enveloped in light, seemingly crossing the distance in strides.
Looking at the scene before him, he frowned.
“A heretical cult ritual?”
“No, this is a different ritual.”
Fang You looked up. Under the clear blue sky, one could faintly see a gray line. From above that line, strands of gray mist were spreading out.
Was this the Mysterious Evil?
The Mysterious Evil from the ancient times?
He hadn’t seen the Mysterious Evil. The figures from before and the heretical cultists had some differences, but the loathing from deep within the soul was the same.
Their origin was from the Ghastly Realm!
“But according to Yi Yue Luxi’s statement, if Blue Star had contact with the Ghastly Realm in ancient times, it should have been devoured and destroyed long ago.”
“Was she not telling the truth, or did she have limited knowledge, and now is the exception?”
At the moment, Little Illusion was not by his side, unable to enhance his spirit power with possession.
But,
the gold-tier perfect Strange Implement, the ‘Radiant Scepter’, had three abilities.
‘Amplification’: Simply holding the scepter can greatly enhance physical strength and significantly boost spirit power.
It can also be turned on or off at will—after all, prolonged physical and spiritual enhancement can also put some strain on oneself.
The other two abilities, ‘Catalysis’ and ‘Radiant Domain’: Catalysis can be used on trees and animals; it’s an ability to ‘create warriors’, yet it comes with significant limitations.
Within the Radiant Domain, one is akin to a god, not only doubling the amplification effect of abilities but also controlling anything around oneself, as if the environment itself is in one’s hands.
But it’s only akin to that.
Even as a triple Awakener holding a gold-tier Strange Implement, he still has a difference as vast as the Star River from the gods of legend.
Yet,
with the amplification of the scepter, his mind was incredibly clear, and his ascending spirit power stirred up a gust of wind, sweeping across the surroundings.
His thoughts reached out towards that gray line above the heavens.
But he did not see the scenery of the Ghastly Realm.
“Unlike the secret lands, I can’t enter the Ghastly Realm.”
“It’s even different from the Gates of the Ghastly Realm.”
The Gates of the Ghastly Realm are significantly flawed points; as long as the spirit power is strong enough, even if one can’t cross over, one can still vaguely see the scene on the other side.
Not at this moment.
All he could see was the distant end of the starry sky, where there seemed to be a gray, indescribable vast world.
A scarlet line extended from afar, piercing the crystalline shell of Blue Star.
Cutting a gray line across the heavens above.
He saw it.
But he was powerless to interfere, much like he couldn’t forcibly close the Gates of the Ghastly Realm.
Suddenly,
a monstrous presence came from the distant end. The gray line on the heavens parted to each side, revealing a gigantic, blood-colored eye stretching across the sky!
