Daxia border.
"What on earth is this thing..."
Cao Yuan stood in front of the dark void, his brows furrowed. He tried to reach out and touch it, but his hand passed through as if there was nothing.
"There is nothing here." A hint of gray flashed in An Qingyu's eyes, and he shook his head, "Something has swallowed up everything that exists here, including light and air, so in our view, it is absolute 'nothingness'."
"What about Nanaya and the others?"
"...I don't know." An Qingyu said truthfully.
Even his [only correct answer] could not explain what happened here when the bubble burst.
An Qingyu stretched out his hand and gently probed into the void, frowning slightly... For some reason, he faintly felt a familiar breath from it.
Buzz——!
A low roar was heard from the air, and a huge shadow of the heaven broke through the fog and hovered above the sky. Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and a Taoist appeared in front of them.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the dark gap and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He tapped his fingertips lightly, as if calculating something, and then a hint of anger emerged between his brows, "Zeus..."
"Greetings to Yuanshi Tianzun." When An Qingyu and others saw the Taoist, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Yuanshi Tianzun?
Upon hearing this name, Hongying Wen Qimo and Moli were shocked and followed suit in saluting.
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "What exactly happened here?"
An Qingyu recounted what had happened, especially describing the ball of gray mist and light thrown down by Zeus. After listening to his description, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression became more solemn.
"A ball of light wrapped in gray fog..." he muttered to himself.
"【Key to the Gate】, Yog-Sothoth." A voice suddenly sounded, and Michael's hands tore open the void, and his huge figure instantly appeared in front of the darkness.
The sudden appearance of the giant angel startled Hongying and the others. After they saw the six white wings clearly, they immediately reacted. Wen Qimo and Hongying looked at each other and asked quietly:
"Is this the god that Qiye is acting as?"
"That should be it." Hongying nodded slightly, "Seraphim Michael is also the source of the miracle that saved Cangnan for ten years..."
"【Key to the Door】...Isn't he already dead?" Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and asked.
"He has simply fallen into a deep sleep of death, not disappeared in the true sense. As long as this nameless mist still exists, He will never perish... What Zeus left here should be a fragment of His former incarnation, or a part of His consciousness."
Michael waved his hand lightly, and the power of miracle surged out, quickly repairing the dark crack in front of him. In just a few seconds, it returned to its original state.
"The Key to the Gate is the all-seeing god, the embodiment of time and space. His body fragments connect any space in this world with that outside it... If nothing unexpected happens, your people should have been drawn into the gap in time and space and are trapped there."
"...I can't figure out their location." Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and put down his palm. "Is there any way to find them?"
"No." Michael shook his head. "Except for the gods of Cthulhu, no one knows which time and space the fragment of the [Key to the Door] connects to. Even Zeus, who released it, cannot predict what is behind the 'door'."
Yuanshi Tianzun’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.
All the gods and human ceilings of Daxia were exiled by the fragments. Except for some weaker night watchmen, there were only two Heavenly Masters left in Daxia... This was equivalent to directly cutting off the foundation of Daxia!
No matter what, he had to find a way to get them back.
"After Odin, I have warned the world that Zeus still has his hands on the three pillars of Krishna... I will fulfill my duty." Michael slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of Olympus, his golden eyes slightly narrowed.
"I'm going to Olympus to kill him."
"Since he dares to use this thing so openly, he must have something to rely on." Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at him, "I'm afraid you may not be able to get what you want."
"No matter what means he uses, I will hunt him down to the ends of the earth." Michael looked at him in surprise, "He has exiled all of your Great Xia gods, won't you join me in killing him?"
"The most urgent task is to rescue the gods and other people of Daxia first. Since they are trapped in a certain time and space, I will search for them one by one in all the time and space in this world." Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly.
"It doesn't matter if it takes a hundred years or a thousand years... If we find it, we will make the whole of Olympus pay the price.
If I can't find him... I will make him, the gods of Olympus, live a life worse than death."
There was no trace of anger in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes, but his deep and bottomless gaze made people feel inexplicably palpitated.
It was the first time that An Qingyu and others saw this kind of expression on Tianzun's face.
Michael looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with a complicated expression. He shook his head without saying much. The six white wings behind him shook vigorously, and his figure disappeared instantly.
"You all, go yourselves." Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at An Qingyu and the others and waved his hand.
"……yes."
Everyone looked at each other and quickly retreated towards Chennan Pass.
…
"Qian Ye...will everything be alright?"
As the outer wall of Chennan Pass got closer, Hongying spoke worriedly.
"Don't think too much, they are just trapped, they will be fine." Wen Qimo said comfortingly, "Didn't Tianzun say he would go look for them? It's only a matter of time before they come back."
Listening to Wen Qimo's consolation, An Qingyu, Cao Yuan, and Jiang Er remained silent.
An Qingyu knew very well that although this matter sounded simple, once anything involved the Cthulhu mythology, it would be very tricky... The [Key to the Door] mentioned by Tianzun and Michael was undoubtedly an existence standing at the top of the Cthulhu mythology. A piece of it could connect time and space, and even Michael and Yuanshi Tianzun could not determine its exact location.
As for what Tianzun said about searching all time and space... this is not as simple as looking for a needle in a haystack. Time and space are extremely complex and vast. Even if it is just a small bedroom, the thickness of time overlapping above it is enough for countless people to spend their entire lives to experience it, let alone the entire world?
Even for Yuanshi Tianzun, it would be difficult to search all time and space... Even if he found it thousands of years later, the gods of Daxia might still exist, but the many human ceilings and Lin Qiye would probably have turned into a handful of dirt long ago.
