Chapter 434: Chapter 200: Fortune Teller _1

After parting with Lord Divine Thunder, Qi Yuan remained in the temple, keeping a low profile, awaiting his trip to the ancestral lands.

What surprised Qi Yuan was the number of people who had signed up for the journey to the ancestral lands.

To these villagers, entering the ancestral land was synonymous with certain death.

Yet, over fifty people signed up for it.

Qi Yuan was taken aback by this development.

In the end, the ones chosen to enter the ancestral lands included Village Chief Yu Lei, the Divine Officer Shentu, Shizhongshan from Shijia Village, Chen Xifan from Chenxi Village, and Zhu Zhuangshi.

These people were all figures of some significance within Qi Yuan’s territory.

All of them had been selected to journey to the ancestral lands.

"Aren’t you all afraid of death?" One day, Qi Yuan asked this casually, gazing at the eight of them in front of the temple.

Zhu Zhuangshi shrugged: "Compared to death, I, Old Zhu, am more afraid of being oppressed by a big black dog all my life!"

As a member of an ancient clan, Zhu Zhuangshi was well aware of the dangers involved in entering the ancestral lands.

The death rate of True Gods in the ancestral lands exceeded fifty percent, and even the strongest among them died in great numbers within the ancestral lands.

Without venturing into the tiger’s den, there can be no acquisition of tiger cubs.

If he didn’t even have the courage to follow the great god to the ancestral lands, how could he hope for god’s mercy to bestow upon them the Ability to Observe Gods?

"Old Zhu, do not insult my brother!" Shizhongshan stood up for the big black dog beside him.

Zhu Zhuangshi looked disdainfully at Shizhongshan: "If I’m lucky enough to acquire the Ability to Observe Gods this time, you’ll be worse off than a pig or dog!"

Laughter erupted amongst the group.

The fear they initially had about going to the ancestral lands seemed to have dissipated somewhat.

"Alright, since the entrance to the ancestral lands has opened, let’s stop dilly-dallying, and... make it quick!" Qi Yuan, always a man of action, was eager to execute his plan.

"Okay!"

Village Chief Yu Lei took a deep puff of his dry pipe and placed it on the corner of the temple wall.

The other villagers were also raring to go.

At this moment, Qi Yuan turned to Lord Divine Thunder: "It will either take a day or two, or four or five days for me to return. Please take care of Qing Shui Village."

"Does ’Old Deng’ really stand for ’respected and venerable’?"

"Yes, a cultivator does not lie to another cultivator."

Qi Yuan nodded seriously, looking sincere, "when you kill someone, shout ’Old Deng is coming!’, it has a powerful effect."

"I’ll take your word for it then." Lord Divine Thunder patted his sleeve and watched Qi Yuan, who was about to leave, getting sentimental.

"May you shine as brightly as the stars in the sky."

Above the heavens, the moon and the stars are shining brightly, reflecting off the river in the sky.

"Why is there the sudden sense of poetry? Were you an artistic youth when you were young?" Qi Yuan looked suspiciously at Lord Divine Thunder, and then said, "I’m uneducated, so I wish you wealth and immortality."

"Are you trying to curse me? Only a million dollars to my name?" Lord Divine Thunder looked at Qi Yuan with a disgusted look on his face.

"Too greedy." Qi Yuan said casually.

After saying goodbye to Lord Divine Thunder and the rest, Qi Yuan, the Village Chief Yu Lei, and Divine Officer Shentu, went to an ancient well at the north end of the village.

The deep, unfathomable well emitted a faint light around its edge that seemed particularly eerie in the night.

The divine officer Shentu, dressed in a green robe, walked forward and dropped a droplet of blood into the well.

Suddenly, a strong light emerged.

Qi Yuan felt a strong fluctuation in space.

"A teleportation array?" Qi Yuan asked curiously.

During his time in the Vast Wave Realm, he had seen many formations, but never a teleportation array.

The way things were proceeding, it gave an impression similar to the teleportation array from his memories.

Yu Lei, the Village Chief, whose beard had turned white, nodded: "This is an ancient teleportation array that can transport you to the ancestral lands."

Qi Yuan’s curiosity intensified: "What is the principle behind the teleportation array? Is it the law of space?"

Qi Yuan was particularly curious about this.

Back in the Vast Wave Realm, he had wondered why there were no teleportation arrays.

When he asked Sect Master Master Deadwood, the answer he got was that the Great Dao of Space couldn’t be controlled without the Yang Shen.

On the Wangyue Continent, he saw the teleportation array in the Moon Imperial Dynasty.

His esteem for the lofty Moon God Yuan Jun was also elevated as a result.

But at this moment, Divine Officer Shentu replied: "The teleportation array has nothing to do with the law of space."

"Huh?" Qi Yuan was taken aback, "Can’t you tear up space and escape with the law of space?"

"Tearing space open will lead you into the Great Void. If a physical body enters the Great Void, it will be consumed by it."

Only by becoming a True God and condensing a Primordial Spirit could one enter it.

The Great Void cannot be used to travel, and even if you walk for ten years in the Great Void, it will not take you as far as a day’s travel in the mortal world would.

The space the teleportation array enters is called the Dark Void, which is the exact opposite of the Great Void. In it, the coordinates correspond one-to-one with the mortal world, but the distances are much shorter."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan understood.

On a flat surface, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

The Dark Void seemed to fold the paper to bring the two points closer together, making their distance even shorter.

It seemed to be similar to the wormhole from Qi Yuan’s memory.

"How is it that you, being at such a nascent stage, know all this?

Are you an NPC designated to give explanations?" Qi Yuan playfully regarded Shentu.

"As a divine officer, these memories are inherited at birth." Shentu explained.

"I see, this is your design. Everyone has their design, in games as well as in reality." Qi Yuan reflected, "Let’s go, let’s explore the teleportation array."

In an instant, the over ten individuals at the place entered the teleportation array.

Qi Yuan immediately felt as though everyone was enveloped in a transparent membrane.
