Chapter 208: A Strange River

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside of Universe City, slaughter continued. The moment the divine rune energy fragments’ side effects were discovered, it began.

The original universe’s creatures and the space beasts had entered a situation where they wouldn’t rest until one of them died. The feeling of being able to become stronger so easily was truly intoxicating to the Divine Runemasters.

Even if some of them had discovered the abnormality in the fragments, it was already too late. Those who had fallen into darkness could no longer turn back.

Thus, the closest friends, loved ones, and relatives who had been adventuring in the universe together had unknowingly backstabbed the person who trusted them.

This was a Shura field, which was created by the Otherworldly Demons. None of the creatures that came near would be able to escape.

Zhulu City was still very far away, and the road ahead was filled with fog.

Gu Changqing tried to find Zhulu City’s spatial nodes through a wormhole. However, he ultimately failed.

The human race’s old experts did not seem to want this journey to be too smooth. After another three days, there were even more changes on the land. Gu Changqing, Huang Di, and the others arrived at a large river. It wasn’t like they crossed a river in Universe City before. However, all the rivers were usually dry and there were no traces of water.

Despite that, the river in front of them had water. It was quiet, and it didn’t have any waves. There were no signs of it flowing.

The river was peaceful and beautiful, just like Sleeping Beauty.

It was unknown how wide it was, and as far as the eye could see, it was covered with fog.

Although Gu Changqing’s divine sense was already powerful enough, he was also unable to pass through the fog and see the scenery further away.

What was the fog’s origin? Why did it have such a strong barrier effect on divine senses??

Gu Changqing tried to capture some of the fog to study, however, he failed.

The fog couldn’t even be captured, let alone probed. This made Universe City even more mysterious.

How many secrets did the human race’s experts leave in here?

Along the way, his heart was filled with respect for them.

Zhang Hu and the others returned with nothing after searching around.

Gu Changqing didn’t plan to waste any time. Everyone rose into the air and flew toward the other side of the river. The water at his feet did not attract Gu Changqing’s attention.

However, after flying for a while, they were still standing near the river.

This made Gu Changqing frown and look back. The riverbank had long disappeared from his sight, covered by fog. There was nothing around except the river under his feet.

“Your Excellency the Star Emperor, something is wrong.”

Huang Di stopped and looked at the river under his feet warily. Seeing this, everyone stopped.

“Don’t move. I’ll go down and investigate! ”

Gu Changqing ordered. He was worried about letting Zhang Hu and the others go.

Although each of them had high strength, they still could not let their guards down. The strongest person present was himself, followed by Huang Di. If he left Huang Di with them, even if they encountered any problems, his strength and exnerience would he enough to deal with the issue-

Gu Changqing landed on the river’s surface and raised his head. Huang Di and the others’ figures were somewhat illusory, but they were still in his sight.

The water was calm as before, and did not have the slightest ripple because of Gu Changqing’s arrival.

He squatted down curiously, wanting to scoop up a handful of water. However, he didn’t expect the river to be empty when he reached in.

There was nothing inside.

He released his divine sense, but he could clearly see the river’s existence.

After entering Universe City, he had encountered many strange things.

He thought for a moment and directly plunged into the river. Upon entering, he seemed to have water beside him, but he could not touch it at all. After swimming for some distance, Gu Changqing couldn’t discover anything. When he returned to the surface, he had lost Huang Di and the others’ auras.

“What happened?”

Gu Changqing frowned and spread his divine sense to the maximum range.

Huang Di and the others seemed to have disappeared into thin air, their presences vanishing completely.

He steadied his mind and recalled all his actions after entering the water. He returned to the river and went to his original position.

After doing so, Huang Di and the others were still nowhere to be seen.

“Zhang Hu!” “Zhao Feng!” “Monkey King!”

“Senior Huang!”

Gu Changqing called their names several times in a row, but did not get any response.

“Why is this river so strange? Could it be that I’ve encountered another Otherworldly Demon?”

Gu Changqing whispered. He had not forgotten what happened on the way to Luoshui City.

After that, he recalled the giant beast that could loop space. However, he quickly denied this possibility.

As regarding the use of space looping, Gu Changqing was already familiar with it, and this situation wasn’t something that the giant beast could compare to. At this moment, he did not sense any spatial fluctuations.

At the same time, the fog could block his divine sense, so how could it detect any other creatures?

He couldn’t find anyone around him, so Gu Changqing didn’t hesitate anymore.

With Huang Di around, even if they encountered an Otherworldly Demon, he would definitely be able to easily crush it with his strength even if it wouldn’t be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

In addition, Zhang Hu and the others had to grow quickly in the face of danger. They would have to deal with more battles in the future.

After all, it was impossible for him to come out and solve every crisis they encountered.

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing put his hands behind his back and flew straight to the other side of the river.

He wanted to see what was up with this thing.

Time returned to when Gu Changqing had entered the river.

Zhang Hu said, “Senior Huang, Boss has entered the river.”

“Zhang Hu, what are you saying? How could something happen to Boss?”

Zhao Feng retorted.

“That’s right. How can you not have confidence in Boss?”

Even Taotie, who usually didn’t talk much, joined in.

“I’m just worried about him.”

Zhang Hu felt wronged.

Huang Di said, “Zhang Hu’s worries are not wrong. This river is indeed unusual. Star Emperor Gu seemed to have discovered something just now, which was why he went into it.”

“Then should we follow Boss into the water? If he is in trouble, we can help him!” Zhang Hu quickly added.

Huang Di didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Gu Changqing’s purpose of keeping them behind was self-evident. If they followed them now, wouldn’t they just be adding to the trouble?

“Don’t give Boss any more trouble. Just wait for him to come out!”

Vermilion Bird waved her hand.

Huang Di closed his eyes and sensed the aura around him. He suddenly said,

“All of you, come closer to me.”

As he spoke, he did not care about their reactions. He raised his hand and opened a barrier, enveloping them all in the middle.

Then, everyone quietly looked at the river, waiting for Gu Changqing to come out..
