Chapter 1829
by 林方方Chapter 1829 Bring Her Back
Erhai Lake.
Lin Qiye suddenly opened his eyes!
Through his shared perspective with the Seraph, he clearly saw several K-system gods invading the border of Great Xia. Now, several human deities and human powerhouses were rushing to the battlefield.
“…Is this also part of your plan?”
Lin Qiye recalled An Qingyu’s mysterious words from earlier, his expression darkening.
If An Qingyu were acting alone at Erhai Lake, Great Xia’s top fighters would arrive at the scene within minutes. Even if they couldn’t probe the dense fog with mental powers or attack from a distance, he would have no chance of winning under their siege.
But the invasion of the K-system gods forced many top fighters to rush to the frontlines, which naturally reduced the pressure on him.
Moreover, given the scale of the K-system gods’ invasion, the Seraph truly had no choice but to go to the front lines for support. The remaining three human deities and several human powerhouses would certainly be insufficient to resist.
Even Zhou Ping had to engage in mutual containment with [Black Goat], unable to intervene here.
After directing the Seraph to the battlefield, Lin Qiye surveyed the endless dense fog around him, pondered for a moment, and still walked forward.
Even if everyone else rushed to the front lines, his physical body had to stay here to watch An Qingyu.
As he continued walking, Lin Qiye’s brow furrowed increasingly. Based on the original distance, he should have reached the edge of Erhai Lake in just a few steps, but now after walking hundreds of meters, he hadn’t even seen a trace of water.
By the time a massive silhouette emerged from the mist, Lin Qiye’s feet had already stepped onto an asphalt road.
He looked up at the office building that towered into the mist before him. Such an enormous structure, yet he only saw its existence after walking right up to it.
Moreover, Lin Qiye clearly remembered that he had been walking toward Erhai Lake.
“Lost, huh…”
Several confused figures walked past Lin Qiye and quickly disappeared into the thick fog. These were ordinary people who, like Lin Qiye, had become lost and were probably completely disoriented in the fog.
Under the interference of this dense fog, large-scale destructive abilities probably couldn’t be used. No one knew whether an attack would hit An Qingyu or these ordinary people.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then flipped his palm. A thread of causality floated out from [Causeless Cause], extending directly toward somewhere in the mist.
Indeed, causality wouldn’t be affected by disorientation, Lin Qiye thought to himself.
The causality thread between him and An Qingyu was very thick. In this situation where the five senses were blinded, causality was the only way to penetrate all illusions and point directly to the target.
Lin Qiye followed the causality thread continuously, and soon returned to the vicinity of Erhai Lake.
Through the dense fog covering the sky, he could vaguely see a massive gate standing above Erhai Lake, its shadow almost enveloping the entire lake!
The Gate of Truth!
Lin Qiye sensed that familiar aura and was secretly shocked.
Four years ago, the Gate of Truth summoned by An Qingyu was only about one-third of its current size. Now it was not only enormous in scale, but the aura it emitted far surpassed that of the past. Just seeing its outline from a distance, the terrifying pressure made it hard to breathe.
At this moment, within the shadow cast by the Gate of Truth, a black-robed figure stood towering in the void.
An Qingyu looked down at Erhai Lake shrouded in fog, and rare ripples appeared in his gray eyes…
“I’m back… Jiang Er.”
An Qingyu murmured. The next moment, a gray mouse crawled out from the shore and, with a flash of lightning, quickly transformed into Fish Two’s form.
Fish Two expressionlessly flicked his hand, and bottles filled with fresh blood whistled through the air—exactly twelve vials!
“I originally just wanted to get a vial of White Tiger blood… but unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.”
An Qingyu raised both hands, and the twelve blood-colored vials floated around him, revolving gently. “This way, the chances are even greater.”
He lifted his fingertips, and all twelve blood-colored vials burst open simultaneously. The blood, like arrows, shot toward the phantom Gate of Truth in the sky!
The fresh blood flowed along the surface of the Gate of Truth, transforming into mysterious patterns engraved upon it.
An Qingyu ran his fingertips through the blood and gently smeared it on his eyelids. As his gray eyes slowly opened, the Gate of Truth suspended above the sea suddenly shook!
Boom—!!
The massive mysterious gate opened slightly with a muffled rumble.
Vague murmurs came from behind the gate. The rolling fog suddenly stilled, and the once-sparkling lake surface seemed frozen, like a blue gemstone settled between cities.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to step forward, two figures suddenly descended from the sky, firmly blocking his path.
Both had An Qingyu’s appearance, with tiny characters for “Two” and “Four” engraved in the depths of their dark red eyes. Dense lightning surrounded the two, and the aura of main gods descended simultaneously.
“Summoning the Gate of Truth in the city… what exactly are you trying to do?” Lin Qiye asked solemnly.
Fish Two was silent for a moment, then mechanically replied:
“Resurrect Jiang Er.”
Hearing these four words, Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted!
“Resurrect Jiang Er?” Lin Qiye looked up at the black-robed figure in astonishment. “Hasn’t Jiang Er’s soul been completely scattered? Even the Celestial Court couldn’t save her… It’s been four years now, how can you resurrect her?”
“What the Xia gods cannot do doesn’t mean Truth cannot,” Fish Four said calmly. “As long as you pay a sufficient price, the Gate of Truth can exchange anything.”
“Price? What price do you plan to pay?”
Fish Four didn’t speak. The lightning around the two grew increasingly brilliant, weaving into a massive wall that pressed between Lin Qiye and Erhai Lake.
“That, you don’t need to know,” Fish Two said slowly. “If you’re still the Captain Lin Qiye of the [Nightfall] team from back then, just stand aside now and watch quietly.”
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye stared at the black-robed figure in the air, falling silent.
If An Qingyu’s goal was to resurrect Jiang Er, he certainly wouldn’t intervene… Jiang Er’s death had been a regret for everyone in the [Nightfall] team.
But regardless, the Gate of Truth was something that didn’t belong to this world, and he didn’t trust it much. Who knew if it truly offered equivalent exchange?
In midair.
An Qingyu stood before the Gate of Truth that had opened slightly. The blood marks on his eyelids had disappeared, but the mysterious blood imprints on the gate seemed to remain a little.
“Have you… sensed the magnetic field of the one who tearfully dissipated here years ago?”
An Qingyu whispered to the towering gate,
“Take whatever you want from me… just bring her back.”
