Chapter 1725 - 383: The Battle Between the Netherworld King and the Crown Bearer (Mega - !)_2

The disaster lingering over Frost Iron Mountain also dissipated.

No longer do we need to worry about extraordinary events like those caused by the Black Folding Knife.

"These life pods are double the number found under Huazhi Underground..."

After a moment of scrutiny, Cui Zhongcheng looked at Gu Shen and said seriously, "Taking them back would cause too much commotion, even if done in batches, it would alert many people. I need to explain to Mrs. Nanzhi and account to the East Continent Council."

Clearly, he could choose to ignore this disaster realm.

But the explanation requires Gu Shen.

A voice from Chu Ling echoed in Gu Shen’s mind: "The Neutrals relocated from Sang Island to Da Du are currently being nurtured by Huazhi, and they’re conducting Divine Infant Research."

At this point, Gu Shen understood.

"I’ll personally handle Mrs. Nanzhi,"

Gu Shen said, "As for the East Continent Council... you can just bring out the research team migrated from Sang Island. These pods are remnants of the Sangzhou Cave’s northward migration plan, all handled by the church, with the East Continent only responsible for humanitarian concerns. Now with advancements in cryogenic technology, these innocent victims can enjoy a longer period of peace."

"...You really are a genius."

After a few seconds of silence, Cui Zhongcheng offered this assessment.

Gu Shen wouldn’t presume it to be a compliment.

He replied helplessly, "When it involves ’forbidden existence,’ giving too much explanation is not a good thing."

"Understood."

Cui Zhongcheng said, "No worries, I’ll send people to move these pods—to handle the suddenness of this matter, we’ll only use the core members of Da Du Sincere Heart Association, and it’ll take them at least four hours to arrive, likely not until dawn."

"As long as it gets done."

Gu Shen nodded slightly, unconcerned about the speed of relocating the life pods.

After arranging the tasks, he no longer needed to stay at Frost Iron Mountain.

"By the way, regarding this half-completed abandoned Divine Domain, you’d better destroy it a bit."

Cui Zhongcheng stated casually, "There are too many pods here; even core members will require several people... Do you understand my meaning?"

Gu Shen raised an eyebrow.

Indeed.

This place was, after all, the Divine Domain site left by the former Netherworld King.

Cui Zhongcheng needed to gloss over and fool the council, while the spectacle here would inevitably attract the attention of those with motives.

He brought two fingers together and slashed through the Disaster Realm.

Those pillars, those half-complete engravings, and the grim, dark style of the former Netherworld King were extensively altered by the Chi Huo.

Changed beyond recognition.

From semi-desolation to complete desolation.

"Alright, now this is purely a ’Natural Disaster Zone.’"

Gu Shen said, "I’ll handle the follow-up documents and permission issues, and the rest is up to you."

...

...

The two boarded the mini Source Energy Boat, and the hatch closed.

A light mountain rain misted, striking the boat, emitting a crisp sound.

Mu Wanqiu didn’t rush to start the mini boat but instead hinted, "Has a certain unknown Lord Divine forgotten something?"

"Fighting, it’s still in my mind, how could I forget such a significant matter."

Gu Shen laughed, "But do you intend to fight in a place like this? Qinghe District is small with many rules, and handling personnel for Frost Iron Mountain Disaster Zone has just been notified, so Transcendents could arrive at any moment."

Mu Wanqiu calmly said, "I think this place is quite good."

"It is quite good."

Chu Ling’s voice echoed in Gu Shen’s Heart Lake, tactlessly sending a few spirit projections and corresponding coordinates.

"There are a few mountain peaks in the Qinghe District’s uninhabited zones, perfect for your bout. On regular days, no one would set foot there... As for the Transcendents handling the Disaster Zone, it will take at least four hours for them to arrive, I can provide surveillance services for free."

Ever since Mu Wanqiu announced the southward journey, she had been anticipating.

Speaking of curiosity, Chu Ling was eager to see how the S-rank Judge had developed.

With such a super AI forever tied to eating it up and fueling the fire, Gu Shen knew he couldn’t escape it.

"Thank you indeed."

Gu Shen replied helplessly in his Heart Lake.

Then returned to the real world, sighed gently.

"...I think this place is fine too, start the Source Energy Boat, let’s pick a suitable place."

The mountains opposite the Qing River were towering, and due to the East Continent’s rapid development, the council had marked this vast mountainous area as a ’resource zone.’

In the extraordinary world, Deep Sea directly designated it as an uninhabited zone.

Entry is forbidden without permission.

In retrospect, this decision was obviously Mr. Gu Changzhi’s initiative back then, using top-tier authority to protect the Disaster Realm temple of the former Netherworld King.

The mini boat departed Frost Iron Mountain and eventually arrived at a desolate mountain a hundred miles away.

"Arrived at the target location: Zhaiyun Mountain."

Chu Ling broadcasted softly through the auto-navigation system as the boat gently docked.

"You chose well here, it has both mountains and water."

Mu Wanqiu complimented.

Chu Ling responded in Heart Lake, "Of course, this is the best spot in the uninhabited zone for a duel."

"You seem eager to watch me spar with her?"

Gu Shen was amused but helpless, noting Chu Ling hadn’t been this lively in a long time.

"Indeed, I wish to witness your level under non-deadly combat."

Chu Ling stated sternly, "I’ve been using the database to compute your strength ever since your Extraordinary Awakening. The database’s computation has never ceased..."
