CHAPTER 950: CHAPTER 116: THE TRAVELLER, REVIVED

"Everything... for the return."

These words, which appear heavy, are the last line engraved on the rock wall.

This is where the translator’s work ends.

The rock wall also came to its end.

Gu Shen’s mood was unexpectedly heavy, perhaps because he was immersed in the rock wall’s Spiritual World, or maybe because he already knew the outcome of the transaction.

At the end of the story... the travelers, of course, did not return, because the Five Continents Giant Wall has been peaceful for the past twenty years, and there has been no information about the travelers. These "lost beings" who traveled a million miles, perhaps were just one step away from completing their dream of returning to the past.

Gu Shen found it strange from the beginning.

Who exactly built such a massive Netherworld Palace?

The answer is now clear... It was precisely the handiwork of the "Travelers." As for the battle robes woven from trimmed wings, Gu Shen hasn’t seen them yet, but he knows that making a deal with the former Netherworld King, such a heinous villain, has only one outcome.

To lose everything.

At this moment, Mu Wanqiu also slowly detached from the Spiritual World of the ancient text.

Her mood involuntarily became heavy.

After a long pause, Mu Wanqiu hoarsely said, "So... those travelers, are still in the world outside the ’Gate’..."

Because of the Nether River’s perception, she could not help but feel favorable towards the Netherworld King’s Spark...

But after reading the long story on the rock wall.

A subtle change occurred in her mindset.

"Yes..."

Gu Shen frowned.

He suddenly felt that his emotions were somewhat out of his control.

The translator left text on this rock wall that has a magical influence on the spirit. Immersed in the history of suffering of the Traveler Clan, even after leaving, one would uncontrollably feel emotions like "pity" and "sympathy" for this clan.

For most people, there’s nothing wrong with that.

But for a Spiritual Transcendent, this is very wrong.

Controlling emotions is a fundamental skill of the Spiritual path.

Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu exchanged a glance, both realizing their emotional fluctuations...

"There’s something wrong with this rock wall..."

Mu Wanqiu bit her tongue hard. Under the pain stimulus, she became much clearer.

"These words have a strong influence on the spirit."

Gu Shen also shook his head vigorously to clear his mind.

Fortunately, both are top geniuses among the Spiritual path, realizing this, they quickly recovered.

The problem doesn’t lie with the rock wall.

The only problem is... the travelers portrayed themselves as too righteous and bright.

Wandering ascetics.

Undaunted exiles.

On the final journey, they encountered a heinous villain, made a wrong deal, and were deceived into having nothing... this is actually a poignant story, albeit somewhat trite.

The "suffering" of this clan should be real.

But some parts seem somewhat hollow.

The last line on the rock wall is deafening.

"Everything, for the return."

But the travelers never explained throughout what they would do after returning.

Mu Wanqiu wondered aloud, "Back then, what exactly was the deal between the Netherworld King and the travelers?"

Gu Shen looked back at the towering Divine Statue, his eyes filled with a mix of grievance.

Though the person has gone.

But he couldn’t help but curse.

"What a bastard, causing trouble always, and every time it’s me cleaning up your mess."

"The answer isn’t hard to guess."

Gu Shen turned around without finding more contents, then returned to the base of the Divine Statue, saying, "The travelers wanted, presumably, to return."

"Most of the content on this rock wall doesn’t need to be faked... their experiences in the Old World should be real, and everything they did was for the return, that should also be true."

In the vast Old World, no one knows how to reach a specific location.

This is something Gu Shen deeply understands.

A year ago, his teacher and senior brothers and sisters left the Disaster Realm of Moon City Fortress and have been unheard of since.

In the labyrinth, he had seen the figures of his senior sister and teacher... at that time, only a rock wall separated them.

But the distance of that one rock wall was farther than a million abysses.

Most of the territory in the Old World is occupied by chaotic black holes and black dots, many spaces are not continuous... they only exist on the other side of the "Gate".

Seeing and touching are two different things.

"So... during an accidental ’journey’, the Netherworld King and the travelers met."

Mu Wanqiu recalled the last scene on the rock wall.

On Black Snow Mountain, the two Divine Thrones met.

"Yes, the Netherworld King started his exploration from the Five Continents, and to encounter the ’travelers’, he must have reached the depths of the Old World."

Gu Shen calmly stated, "But for the travelers, the difficulty of finding us in the dark was too great, all relying on luck, if no one guided them and opened the ’Gate’, they’d never be able to find it even after another thousand years."

Thus, the deal was struck.

The travelers wanted to return.

And the Netherworld King... just needed to give them a ’Gate’.

Gu Shen suddenly furrowed his brows.

He returned to the end of the rock wall, reading the spiritual text left by the translator. As he looked at the last scene, his expression gradually turned pale.

"What’s wrong?"

Mu Wanqiu also came to Gu Shen’s side.

The last scene.

Depicts the encounter between the Netherworld King and the travelers.

Black Snow Mountain, two sparks, forever frozen.
