The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 457 - 288: World Ship! Su Buxian's Actions

"Was I seen through?"

Su Qi paused, yet he wasn't very surprised.

The other party was indeed a real God; no matter how much their strength had reduced, it was still an extraordinary power and soul.

He had merely fused with an Ancient Relic.

It equated to stepping onto the Angel Series, possessing its form but not its true Angel Bloodline, and naturally, it was easy to see through.

Su Qi sighed and said, "To think that I was seen through."

"Is it really because of my transcendent aura?"

Pigeon God: "?"

"But it's not a big problem," Su Qi said enthusiastically, "we're all on the same side."

"No, it is a big problem."

Pigeon God looked deeply at Su Qi, "Although I don't know how you obtained an Ancient Relic of such noble bloodline, what the upper echelons of the Angel Race hate most is... someone tainting their bloodline."

"Their Path of Series, only they themselves are allowed to walk it; low-level angels are merely called 'low-quality vassals,' let alone outsiders who are not of the Angel Race."

"Though many people covet the Path of Series of the Angel Race and surreptitiously seek to obtain Ancient Relics, it's extremely difficult to succeed, and once discovered, there will be Feather Servants from the Angel Race pursuing to kill."

Su Qi: "?"

Good Lord.

An enemy from the void?

I didn't provoke this, yet I've strangely been labeled as an enemy.

It looks like the stage has expanded again.

"I was thinking, even if I'm just a half-foreigner, I could use this Ancient Relic to enlist into the ranks of angels in the future, but it appears they are so xenophobic."

"..."

"This isn't xenophobia, it's arrogance and contempt rooted deep within their blood."

It extended its wings, pointing at the feather marking on Su Qi's collarbone, "And this is not fortune, but misfortune."

Pigeon God said, "The time is almost up for the Angel Divine Race to recover; you'd best hide your strength, avoid if possible. That group of Birdmen inherited arrogance, hypocrisy, and duplicity from their bloodline... once you encounter them, you will know just how disgusting they are."

Su Qi: "?"

Aren't you a Birdman yourself? Mocking your own kind?

However.

Seeing such hateful tone from Pigeon God, he knew that the other truly despised his own race.

Thoughtful, Su Qi said, "Alright, I'll try my best not to let them disgust me."

He paused again:

"Moreover, although I now understand this point, you bringing me here must be about more than just these issues..."

He looked around.

Apart from the sofa that seemed like it was part of a room right in front of him, the surroundings were very fragmented... chaos, and this place seemed to be filled with many strange auras, giving him a mysterious feeling.

Also.

It was hard to see what was within the chaos, but it seemed to be rapidly flowing; yet, from the ethereal question marks above, Su Qi saw some information.

[World Ship]

He squinted his eyes slightly; this wasn't the first time he had heard these four words. Previously when the Dark Venerable projected his descent, he had mentioned it... it was unclear if it had a deeper meaning or was meant to be taken literally.

If it was the latter.

Is this world... a ship?

Su Qi did not rush to hypothesize further; this was already a Nightmare Level instance... the third and most difficult hidden mainline, triggering and successfully completing it would likely be a narrow escape from death.

And now was the moment of revelation.

Pigeon God seemed to be sizing him up as well, some deep meaning apparent from the start in its gaze. Its voice became somewhat calm:

"Truth be told, after knowing you're not from the Angel Race, I breathed a sigh of relief."

"After all, this matter holds significant meaning. I wouldn't want to choose a being from that arrogant, indifferent race."

Su Qi snapped his fingers, "Then congratulations on making the right choice, I'm just that kind of harmless, friendly, bright and cheerful big boy."

Pigeon God: "...."

It calmly said:

"First, I'm aware of everything happening outside, and you're not related to these words."

"?"

Slandering me?

"Second."

It paused: "It wasn't my choice either, but the World Ship's... choice."

Su Qi nodded slightly:

"So, what exactly is the World Ship? I remember the Dark Venerable also mentioned it before."

Although Pigeon God only bore the appearance of a grey feathered pigeon, it carried an aura that transcended from the divine series itself. Its bird eyes sparkled with starlight, softly sighing:

"Before introducing the World Ship, I need to explain my identity first."

It spread its wings, with a phantom projection materializing behind it, seemingly its true form, that of an angel's wings...

"I am... the Guardian God, originally a solitary and uncontentious ordinary deity, but after the terrifying burst of Abyss Power, I became part of the Current World Camp's divine force, participating in that centuries-long war."

It looked at Su Qi, "You as a mortal should also be aware of this history."

Su Qi nodded, "Of course, I know quite a lot about it."

"Quite a lot, huh..." Pigeon God seemed self-mocking, "You can't even imagine the scale of that war, nor can you conceive of what Abyss Power truly is, those terrifying entities... each one was a massive disaster of the current world."

Su Qi: "....."

Though they are all acquaintances.

But he agreed with the latter part of the statement, Evil God, God of Anxiety, God of Chaos, their power was like a plague, like a virus, sweeping and devouring everything.

"Let's not discuss these distant matters for now," Pigeon God didn't want to digress, simply stating lightly:

"You only need to know that in the final great battle, there was a terrifying entity that almost destroyed the entire current world. In order to allow countless lives to survive, the great Master of the Present World led the Gods to forge... an object capable of sheltering countless beings of the current world."
