Gu Jiancheng, the new star of the Eastern Hunter Guild of the Year, the industry benchmark, the cultist nemesis, and the enemy of the Great Abyss, had to admit that what the fat man said was the truth.

The fat man shrugged his shoulders and said, "And over the years, no one has succeeded in getting a response from Da Yuan, so no one will doubt that this one really exists?" ”

"The legends about the Great Abyss are also chaotic, not full of untrue, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false."

"In some legends, there is no king of the abyss at all, and some are more outrageous, saying that the abyss is actually the dark side of the stars."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qianjun said with emotion: "The most important thing is that this god has disappeared for too long, and no matter how great the god is, he will lose the basis for his existence because he is too far away from the world." You've heard of the Path of the Stars, but have you heard of the Great Abyss Path? ”

Gu Jiancheng's heart tightened inexplicably: "The path of the Great Abyss? ”

"Every god has their own path, and each path means endless followers, for example, our founding king is the 'hero' who embarked on the path of the stars, but no one has heard of the path of the great abyss. We can't even find any remnants of civilization related to the Great Abyss. ”

Zhao Qianjun stretched out his hands helplessly and said: "When a myth loses its attached entity, it is just a legend that places good expectations on some living beings. ”

Gu Jiancheng said in surprise: "The King of the Great Abyss, is he one of the lost gods? ”

The so-called lost gods are naturally only left in legends, and no historical basis for their existence has been found.

Zhao Qianjun was silent for a while, and muttered strangely: "Yes, it stands to reason that Dayuan should indeed be included in the list of lost gods, why haven't the group of old antiques in the Imperial Seminar included this ancient god in it?" ”

Gu Jiancheng looked sideways at the blue rainy night outside the window.

It seems that the water behind this ancient god is much deeper than he thought.

An astonishing conjecture was gradually born in his mind-

The previous ritual, Hiss was probably hiding something from him.

Assuming that the King of the Great Abyss really exists, and appears for the first time in 10,000 years yesterday, is it reasonable for the Lord of the Stars of the same personality to look at this place?

Reasonable.

Gu Jiancheng looked down at the palm of his right hand.

The black snake mark that spread from the arm all the way to the palm of the hand seemed to still announce what happened yesterday.

Speaking of which, the reason why he focused on those believers who claimed to be Great Abyss was also because of the record that this ancient god had never responded to believers......

But why, did He choose Himself?

Gu Jiancheng clenched his palms, being targeted by such an ancient god, there was no such thing as being nervous, but because the other party was standing too "high", Gu Jiancheng was not too worried about what the other party was looking for.

It's a problem, but it can also be an opportunity.

Above all, if his guess is correct, then he is willing to believe Hiss.

That proud guy who refuses to admit defeat in front of the family shouldn't give in to the gods, right?

"Ah Cheng! That guy is already developed, you can't slack off as his junior brother, otherwise Master Ji won't forgive you......"

The fat man's voice pulled Gu Jiancheng back to the moment.

Zhao Qianjun held his hand affectionately, knew it with affection, and said with reason:

"We are going to explore a ruin, it is the remnants of the ancient Yin Duo Warlock, you must have heard of the Warlock Path, and Master Ji also borrowed from this line of the path back then, don't you want to follow the path that Master Ji has walked?"

"The day after tomorrow, we will set off the day after tomorrow! Don't hesitate, we need you! ”

Gu Jiancheng squinted at him: "What do you need is me, or is it the third-order chaotic realm?" ”

"Of course it's you!" Zhao Qianjun said, "Even if you don't have the third order in the chaotic realm, I will invite you to go through the experience together and cultivate our relationship, you know the reason." ”

Of course I understand, one person can attain the Tao.

Gu Jiancheng sneered: "Your skin is getting thicker and thicker. ”

The fat man didn't care about the ridicule in his words, but said proudly: "The Tianshui Zhao family never makes a fool of themselves, and they say that if they want to be friends with you, they will be friends with you!" It's like my sister said she was going to marry ......."

"You just said that even if I didn't reach the third order, you would invite me?" Gu Jiancheng suddenly interrupted him.

"Of course!" Zhao Qianjun was categorical, patted his chest and packed the ticket, lying without blushing, and sighed in his heart that this kid Jiancheng still values his feelings as before, and he still cares about this kind of scene.

But speaking of which......

Now that Heath Arthur has ascended to the sky in one step, coupled with Ji Shi's heavy relationship, the patriarchs in the family are no longer an obstacle for his eldest sister to marry Gu Jiancheng, but maybe they will vigorously promote it in secret......

it! Zhao Qianjun secretly gasped, and looked at Gu Jiancheng's gaze changed again and again.

This kid won't really be my brother-in-law, will he?!

"Good brother!" Gu Jiancheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, seemingly very moved.

"In my heart!" Zhao Qianjun's voice was deep.

After the emotional card was played, Gu Jiancheng's face changed, his smile was cordial but not close, distant but not indifferent.

"Let's talk about revenue sharing, what about the benefits?"

“…… You have the same flavor as your senior brother. ”

"Brothers from the same sect, in the same vein." Gu Jiancheng said politely, "I want all the information related to Dayuan collected by the Zhao family, which is considered a deposit, is there a problem?" ”

"That's fine." Zhao Qianjun was a little puzzled, "But why are you suddenly interested in that King of the Great Abyss?" Caught His Followers Caught Out of Their Feelings? ”

"I'm ready to change careers and become an archaeology hunter." Gu Jiancheng casually found a reason, "Where will you gather the day after tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Qianjun perked up: "I'm coming to you, you prepare, recuperate, I'll go back tonight, and I'll inform you tomorrow morning." ”

He got up and left, only to be stopped at the door.

"Wait!" Gu Jiancheng said euphemistically, "Have you forgotten something?" ”

Zhao Qianjun was stunned for a moment, looked at the door that was kicked open by himself, and said embarrassedly: "Why don't you change the room first?" I'll pay for the room. ”

"Am I short of this money?" Gu Jiancheng glared and said, "Where's my bounty?" ”

“…… You don't know how cumbersome your guild's review process is? How can it be so fast! Zhao Qianjun was speechless.

"Or you pay for it first." Gu Jiancheng's eyes were expectant, but he used a declarative sentence.

Seeing someone's face distorted, and finally distorted his face to leave, Gu Jiancheng gave up.

He went downstairs to change a room, and stood at the door of the inn and looked out, the night rain was shaking, and the street lamps in the distance were dim in the rain.

opened a new room, listening to the crackling sound of the rain, Gu Jiancheng lay on the bed, not sleepy for a long time.

There are so many things that need to be sorted out by him.

The news about his senior brother was like a hammer, which made waves in his heart when he had just settled down.

He thought, this guy finally said that he would not return to the imperial capital for a short time, could it be related to this matter?

I really want to go to him and ask him now......

In a daze, sleepiness swelled up again.

Gu Jiancheng noticed the abnormality, and this sleepiness was a little familiar.

He tried to open his eyes, only to find that the sleepiness intensified in waves.

One last attempt-

He saw that under the light of the black stone lamp in the room, there were sinuous black shadows slowly swimming on the ceiling, and finally formed a circle......

……

That strange feeling of knowing that I was dreaming came again.

He slowly opened his eyes.

I seem to be standing on a high place...... Is it an airship?

He stood by the window of an airship, the morning light shining on his face.

Outside the window is the sloping earth, and the steel city that stretches to the end of the horizon seems to be about to topple at any moment.

Gu Jiancheng had never seen such a city.

Even a huge airship is like a domestic "carriage" in front of the city, and a large number of airships are circling in the airspace in front of it.

The most striking thing in front is the tall black tower standing in the center of the city, which seems to be the center of the city.

"Your Highness, we are coming, please go back to the house and change your clothes." A mellow voice sounded around him.

This voice reminded Gu Jiancheng of the big housekeeper beside the teacher.

Through the reflection of the window glass, Gu Jiancheng saw the old man standing behind him with a respectful expression, and ......

A blonde ponytail girl!

"Okay, Mr. Gray."

Gu Jiancheng was shocked to hear a quiet and demure voice coming out of his mouth.

After a few seconds of froze, he realized the situation he was facing.

He was now witnessing the world through the eyes of the blonde girl on the glass!

What the hell is this place?

Why did you appear here, in the body of a young girl?!

Possessed? Soul Snatcher ......?

In an instant, Gu Jiancheng thought of seven or eight suspicious situations, but there was no way to confirm them.

"Mr. Gray, how many people are there in the Empire?"

Gu Jiancheng suddenly heard his ...... No, it was the girl who asked.

"Your Highness, there are still 560 million people in the empire, and we have already begun to implement the law on childbirth, which is expected to increase the ......population by 20 million in five years," the old man sighed softly.

"Are there only 560 million people left? 560 million people can only live in such a small city......"

The girl pursed her lips.

Gu Jiancheng could feel that her light delicate body was trembling slightly, and extremely complicated feelings were surging in her heart.

Small city?

Gu Jiancheng looked at the city below that seemed to spread to the end of the horizon and smiled bitterly.

If it's 560 million people, it's really not that big.

The airship swept over the city, and through the girl's eyes, Gu Jiancheng saw a corner of the city-

The criss-crossing antennas cut the sky of the city below to pieces, and countless horizontal buildings blocked the light shining on the lowest floor, like a layered natural jungle, living in the lowest layer is always a lightless worm, this "full" use of space makes him a little creepy.

Buildings hundreds of meters away are endless, but all of them are rusty, revealing the metal underneath, and you can vaguely see the hideous cannon muzzles under some buildings.

What kind of city is this?

Is there no other land left in this world?

"I'll go back and change my clothes." The girl's voice turned low, and she shook the golden ponytail behind her.

Gu Jiancheng came back to his senses.

The girl is going to change her clothes? Should I avoid it......

The blonde girl returned to her room, but instead of rushing to open the closet, she sat down at her desk and opened a diary.

Gu Jiancheng noticed that there was a common mark on the furnishings in the house, which seemed to be the family emblem of the girl's family.

It was a long snake with its head and tail in touch.

And through the girl's eyes, he saw the beautiful font densely packed on the diary.

To his surprise, he had seen these words in the ancient books that Master Ji treasured!

On the blood inheritance ink armor collected by Ji Shi, there is also a similar text!

This is said to be the text of a certain ultra-ancient civilization, and Master Ji said that they are very important, and he also taught them part of it, telling them that if they encounter something imprinted with relevant words in the future, no matter what it is, they should not miss it.

Even if you rob it, you have to grab back the imperial capital!

The girl lifted her pen and slowly recorded something on the white paper.

Gu Jiancheng gradually became puzzled.

Even Master Ji didn't fully grasp these words, and he only learned a few scratches.

It can be said that he doesn't know every word written by the girl, but at this moment, he can understand the meaning of every sentence in everything.

He also noticed a detail - their previous conversation was clearly not in the lingua franca of the stars, but he could understand their conversation.

Is it because of the possession of the girl?

Doubts took root in his heart, but he could only put them aside for the time being, and he tried his best to memorize all the content written by the girl, and prepared to send it to the teacher when he returned, along with the "translation" he now understood.

As the last stroke fell, the girl opened the curtain in front of the table.

A grand light shone down in her golden eyes.

Her eyes reflected the world in the distance.

The steel forest stretched to the end of the world at his feet until he was blocked by a great wall, behind which was a gray darkness that saw no light of day.

A wall apart is like two worlds of light and darkness.

But they did not live in the world of light, but crept in the gray gap between the eternal night and the dawn.

And at this moment, Gu Jiancheng didn't care about chasing what the high wall in the distance was, and his mind was full of information revealed in the girl's diary-

……

[The depth of the empire is still declining, the stars are moving away from us, and even the response of the Great Abyss has been reduced to once in a hundred years, and we can't even launch an effective sacrifice ......]

[Great Your Majesty, we are still waiting for your return, waiting for you to guide us on the way home......]

[Recently, everyone has been worried that we will fall below the tenth intensity area, and once we fall below the tenth layer, we will be completely lost in the long river of origin......]

[But we will not surrender, the empire will never surrender......]

……

The last sentence of the diary echoed in Gu Jiancheng's mind.

[We're still fighting! 】
