Chapter 1560 Qingyu’s Disappearance
“Disappeared? How is that possible?”
Guangcheng Zi followed closely into this courtyard, his gaze fixed on the ruins in the center, his expression extremely unpleasant.
“Did the Ke system people take him away?” a Daxia god asked solemnly as he arrived from another heavenly gate.
“Did you notice anything unusual on your side?”
“Nothing entered except the continuously descending Mi-Go.”
“Same on our side.”
“To bypass the Heavenly Court’s defenses without anyone knowing… even an ordinary Supreme couldn’t do that, right?”
“It’s not necessarily an external invasion.” A Daxia god landed on the ground and closed his eyes to carefully sense the surroundings. “There are remnants of space-time disturbance here, the same as what emanates from the Mi-Go. It’s likely that an unconscious space-time disturbance suddenly intensified and transported the two of them elsewhere.”
“His unconscious space-time disturbances are that strong now? I remember this morning it was only the size of a peach?”
“So many Mi-Go sacrificed their lives to the Gate of Truth, who knows to what extent it has recovered.”
“But it couldn’t have grown so quickly…”
“Stop arguing.” Guangcheng Zi spoke gravely. “Since they weren’t taken by the Ke system, they should still be somewhere on Earth. We need to bring them back before the Mi-Go do.”
The Queen Mother of the West stepped out from nothingness and slowly said, “The space-time disturbance produced by the [Key to the Gate] only connects to places it knows. Earth is vast, and finding the two of them will require considerable time…”
“What if the Mi-Go suddenly descend upon him during that time?”
The gods fell silent.
At that moment, the Jade Emperor, who had been frowning in deep thought, parted his lips slightly. His resonant voice echoed in the minds of all Daxia gods:
“I request all ministers to depart immediately and search outward from the surrounding seas. You must bring them back safely before An Qingyu is taken by Ke system creatures.”
“Yes!”
With the Three Pure Ones absent, the Jade Emperor led the Heavenly Court. At his command, the Daxia gods transformed into hundreds of streaks of light, rushing out from the Heavenly Court in different directions like a meteor shower across the night sky, illuminating it as bright as day.
“Jiang Ziya.”
“Present.”
“Contact the Nightwatchers and have them deploy personnel to search as well.”
“Yes.”
…
“An Qingyu is missing?!”
In the Commander-in-Chief’s office, Zuo Qing abruptly stood up from his seat.
“That’s what the Daxia gods said. The Gate of Truth apparently went haywire and swallowed them into a space-time rift… Now they could be in any corner of Earth,” the secretary explained helplessly.
Zuo Qing’s brows furrowed as he began pacing around the office.
“The Gate of Truth malfunctioning? Why at this particular moment… Quickly, have Lu Wuwei set out immediately to find An Qingyu! Notify the other human ceiling experts to search at sea as well!”
“Understood.”
“Also…” Zuo Qing paused, “Inform Wang Mian to prepare for time reversal. If An Qingyu encounters any mishap this time, have him go back in time to notify the Heavenly Court to intervene directly when the Gate of Truth malfunctions and save him.”
Secretary Min Junliang was slightly taken aback. “If that’s the case, why not have Wang Mian directly reverse time instead of mobilizing such a large operation?”
“Wang Mian doesn’t have much life left. Each time he alters history, it accelerates his death… The [Temporal Rioter] is too important to Daxia and must be conserved as much as possible. If we can find An Qingyu in time, there’s no need for him to expend his lifespan.”
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
Min Junliang hurriedly left the office.
A minute later, Lu Wuwei hung up the phone, got on his electric scooter, put on his helmet, and looked at the delivery order in his hand, sighing helplessly:
“Another overseas order…”
A flash of sword light instantly cut through the clouds, landing precisely beside Lu Wuwei. Zhou Ping, dressed in black clothes with a sword case on his back, emerged from it. “How long will it take to find him?”
“Well… it’s hard to say. You know, although I can find people, I’ve never been fast.” Lu Wuwei patted his electric scooter.
Zhou Ping’s mouth twitched slightly as he immediately abandoned the idea of following behind Lu Wuwei. By the time he rode his scooter to the destination, Zhou Ping could probably fly across half a continent.
A sword light shot into the clouds. Watching Zhou Ping’s departing figure, Lu Wuwei silently attached a small yellow duck to his helmet and slowly floated toward the sky…
Meanwhile, other human ceiling experts also entered the mist, beginning their search for An Qingyu.
In the past, An Qingyu would never have imagined that one day his disappearance would alarm the entire Heavenly Court and Daxia, causing all high-level combat forces to mobilize in search of him… Nor would he have imagined that this disappearance would completely transform his life.
…
In a patch of gray mist, An Qingyu slowly opened his eyes.
Before him was the familiar ancient pavilion, but beyond it was no longer the celestial courtyard of the Heavenly Court with its divine herbs, but rather the ruins of desolate buildings, like the remnants of a city that had fallen to the mist over a hundred years ago.
The ancient pavilion sat in a sunken pit of rubble, its edges as if torn by something, swaying precariously in the cold wind. Within the rolling mist, a black coffin lay silently beside him.
An Qingyu froze at the sight before him.
“Where is this?” From within the black coffin, the ghostly Jiang Er floated out slowly, looking somewhat confused at the surrounding dilapidated ruins. “Has the Heavenly Court been destroyed?”
“…No, this isn’t the Heavenly Court.”
An Qingyu looked around. “Judging by the architectural style and degree of weathering, this should be the ruins of a city in the mist, most likely somewhere near Africa…”
“How did we end up here?”
An Qingyu didn’t answer. He bent down to examine the edges of the ancient pavilion, which showed signs of being torn by space-time rifts, his brows slightly furrowed…
“Space-time disturbance… was it me?” An Qingyu’s expression was puzzled. “But the magnitude of the disturbance wasn’t this great before… Could I have unconsciously amplified it while I was asleep?”
For a moment, An Qingyu also considered the possibility that someone had deliberately taken him away, but aside from wondering what kind of being could bypass the Heavenly Court’s defenses, if their target was him, why not directly abduct or kill him instead of randomly dropping him in some remote location?
While An Qingyu was pondering, Jiang Er had already floated around the vicinity and returned to his side:
“There are no other traces nearby. This place has been abandoned for a long time.”
“The urgent matter now is to quickly establish contact with the Daxia gods. We’re in such a remote place, and it would be disastrous if the Mi-Go descended at this time,” An Qingyu spoke with a clear mind.
“Jiang Er, can you connect to Daxia’s signal?”
