"What's wrong?" The two girls were startled by his reaction.
Zuan said with a solemn expression, "I have the ability to foresee danger. Just now, with the blessing of the fireworks, I predicted what would happen when I stepped onto those chains. But stepping on every chain will end in death, and a gruesome one at that."
"How could this happen!" Isabella's face turned pale, and she hurriedly grabbed his arm. "Then you mustn't go. This is a deadly road."
Fireworks frowned and said, "It doesn't make sense that all eight paths are dead ends, Brother Zu. Think about it carefully again. Is there really not a single way out?"
Zuan shook his head, then recounted to the two women how the eight chains had caused their deaths.
"If there's only one possibility, it might be the first one: that after falling, there's no final death scene, and there might be a glimmer of hope after falling."
Fireworks stopped her, saying, "No, this rift is far too dangerous. Even a casual gust of wind has such destructive power. If you fall in, you'll definitely die a much more gruesome death."
“Yes, yes,” Isabella hurriedly echoed, holding onto Zaun tightly as if afraid he would impulsively choose the first chain.
"But if we don't try, going back will only lead to certain death." Zuan looked worried. They had finally made it here, but behind them were those terrifying demonic spiders. Going back would be pointless; it would be a one-sided crushing defeat.
Given his personality, he'd rather take a gamble than risk certain death.
"Brother Zu, don't you have the skill of teleportation or shapeshifting? Can you just teleport to the other side?" Isabella suggested.
“No, the prerequisite for using those skills is that my divine sense can reach certain areas, but here my divine sense can only extend for tens of meters, so I can’t sense the other side at all,” Zuan said, shaking his head.
Hearing this answer, Isabella felt a wave of despair.
Fireworks thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zu, is it possible that you won't die if you cross a certain chain? Maybe what you see is not the end. Think about it carefully. If what you see is not the real ending, then you can still survive."
Zuan's heart stirred, and he thought of the words that Mikado Baiqing had left him back then: the end can also be the beginning. In addition, now that he has become the mysterious and chaotic messenger of the historian of time, he should understand this better than anyone else.
Yes, I only saw those images, but those images don't mean I'll actually die.
Let me think about it, under what circumstances might I still be alive?
After thinking for a while, he had a sudden realization.
"Give me some peace and quiet." Zuan arrived at the edge of the cliff, staring at the chains as if deep in thought.
Fireworks and Isabella were afraid of disturbing him, so they held their breath and dared not make a sound.
Zuan stood on the edge of the cliff without thinking about anything. Instead, he took out the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Book of History and wrote a sentence on them.
After a while, they arrived at the third chain.
Seeing him about to step onto it, Isabella cried out in alarm, "No! Once you get up there, your flesh will be ripped away, and you'll be nothing but a skeleton!"
As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly.
Even fireworks couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this chain?"
Zu An said in a deep voice, "The cultivation technique I learned is somewhat special. Even if I turn into bones, I may not die."
The Primordial Chaos Sutra possesses powerful regenerative abilities, and as the original ruler of the Netherworld, its understanding of death is far deeper than that of ordinary people.
“We might not die anywhere else, but it’s too risky here.” Isabella’s eyes were full of worry.
Zu An thought about it and realized that this situation couldn't be approached with conventional thinking.
Just in case, he squeezed out a drop of his essence and gave it to Isabella: "If anything unexpected happens, drip this drop of essence onto my bones, and it will save my life."
Isabella bit her lip and solemnly nodded, determined to protect this drop of essence with her life.
"Since you've already decided on this path..." Fireworks bit her lip, and once again used the blessing ability of the Dream Clan, "You will definitely succeed!"
A burst of golden light once again enveloped Zaun.
Now that everyone's lives were hanging by a thread, Zuan didn't stand on ceremony with her anymore. He patted her on the shoulder, then went straight to the third chain and stepped onto it.
As soon as he stepped on it, the old, gray iron chain suddenly lit up.
The runes on it began to flow like water. You should know that the sides of the rift were already dark, and the distance was like ink that could not be dissolved.
The light emitted by these runes on the chains was practically the only source of light.
However, after they lit up, something below the rift seemed to be attracted, and some eerie red light appeared, sometimes accompanied by flashing green dots, like the eyes of some terrifying beast, adding an extreme sense of oppression to the already eerie environment.
Isabella and Fireworks nervously walked to the edge of the cliff, not even daring to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing Zaun. Their clenched hands were so tightly that their fingernails were almost digging into their flesh.
Just then, a strange wind suddenly surged up from below the rift. Remembering that the planetary probe had just been torn to pieces by this wind, Isabella's heart jumped into her throat.
Zaun raised the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl that Isabella had given him, and the destructive winds could not penetrate within three feet of him and quickly dissipated.
Seeing this, the two women on the cliff breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the wind-stabilizing bead is effective, that's good.
At this moment, Zuan had no time to think about anything else and focused on continuing to walk forward.
Soon, a fierce wind swept up again below the rift, and the violent sound of the wind breaking was obviously more powerful than before. However, with the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl, the successive gusts of wind could not harm him.
