Chapter 697 - You are here again (1/2)

Hull had never seen a real palace since he was born, not even from a distance. So he actually didn’t know what a palace should be like.

But when he saw the magnificent and slender “palace” behind the illusions, wind, and snow, he felt that it was the greatest palace in the world, and it should be the legendary palace of the Supreme G.o.d, otherwise, who could build a palace between the two highest snow-capped peaks?

It was not something that could be built by mortals. As if the two now peaks were hacked off by someone, they had become the foundation of the palace, supporting each side of the palace, allowing the palace to stay in the air between the two mountain peaks. However, because of the perennial snow, the bottom of the palace has long been frozen with countless huge icicles like a forest hanging upside down below it.

Hull was sure that the previous call came from there. Because as soon as he put on the semi-transparent hemispherical cover, from the depths of the palace, there would be a burst of intermittent but very urgent voices, like someone crying for help, but also like a warning. It made Hull hesitate.

He was afraid that maybe he had made a mistake. If it was not the temple of the great and only Supreme G.o.d, and if it was the palace of the devil, then what should he do?

For a person with a firm belief, this was an extremely important and very painful thing, so it took him several days to approach this palace. However, the closer he got, the deeper the doubt in his heart was. He was puzzled because he could not see any statues of G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses outside the magnificent palace.

He had indeed never seen any temples, but he had always heard of someone talking about it. Even the small temple in Purul Castle has a beautiful fountain and a large statue of Ice Plain G.o.d. However, there was no sign of any such sculpture or garden in what has been called the greatest temple in legend. Especially where the flakes of snow had fallen, it revealed extremely smooth and perfectly black walls as if nothing could make a scratch on it, not even the hard and sharp mountain peaks.

However, it was weird that such an indestructible palace wall had a large hole in the middle, seemingly without an end. It was whimpering in the wind at a high alt.i.tude as if there were countless souls weeping inside.

In the beginning, Hull thought it was the huge gate of the palace, but only until he got closer did he realize that it was not like that. The gate seemed to be forcibly torn apart under a huge force, just like the ice holes he used to create after slamming the ice pick into the ice to break them apart.

Therefore, when he stood on the edge of the cliff, he was hesitant, wondering if he should slide down and enter the magnificent palace. Especially when he looked down, those hallucinations appeared again.

A person who was dressed in a different kind of white, bloated dress had climbed out of the hole in a panic, followed the slender palace, and tried to climb to the snowy peak at the other end. However, in the violent shock of the explosion, he slipped and fell into the abyss. The extremely terrified face behind the semi-transparent hemispherical was carved into Hull’s mind so deeply that it made him shudder uncontrollably. Then the illusion vanished, and the world before him suddenly returned to the slender and magnificent palace in snow.

At this time, he suddenly heard a dull groan from the center of the palace, resounding through the world, shattering the ice and snow. And in an instant, behind the dark walls of the slender palace, it seemed that many lamps were lit up one after another in the air, emitting the endless sacred radiance. Then after a violent distortion in the air, the magnificent palace, which lay between the snowy peaks, vanished from his sight, disappearing again, as legend would have it.

“The great and only Supreme G.o.d, as your most humble servant, I am fortunate to see your miracle…”

Hull finally determined that this was the temple of the Supreme G.o.d. He knelt down in the snow tremblingly, praying devoutly, tears streaming down his face…

In order to avoid encountering other green-sh.e.l.led insects and the insects from the spore forest, Chu Yunsheng rode the green-sh.e.l.led insect toward the maximum alt.i.tude, flying directly below the edge of energy turbulence.

It was a journey of more than five hundred kilometers. Without the a.s.sistance of a positioning system, it was very difficult to accurately reach the location of Wu Yi Mountain on the map. Chu Yunsheng could only give the green-sh.e.l.led insect a rough direction instruction according to the map.

From the map provided by the military department, it could be seen that there was a civilian airport between Wu Yi Mountain City and Wu Yi Mountain. It should’ve been abandoned now. If it was not occupied by insects or covered by other plants, he should be able to find it. But if it didn’t work, based on the speed of the green-sh.e.l.led insect, he should be able to find a safe time to land and check the nearby towns, then he would be able to calibrate the map direction again.

Before leaving Shanghai, Chu Yunsheng had thought about several possibilities. The most risky one was that Old Man No. 1 had already set a trap near the underground graveyard of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, and he was waiting for him to enter the trap. The second possibility was that, when he left the city, he might suddenly launch an attack to completely eliminate his new forces in Shanghai.

For this reason, he deliberately stayed in the city for more than ten days. Before setting off, he used black gas to make sure that there were no micro-robots around him. After confirming that there were no micro spy robots, he sneaked out of the city.

However, even if No. 1 had set up an ambush in the graveyard of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, as long as he didn’t choose to stay behind to attack them, he would still be able to run away with the amount of energy and talismans he currently had.

Moreover, the speed of the green-sh.e.l.led insect was extremely fast. Although it was a distance of 500 kilometers, if he didn’t need to check his location all the time and fly at high alt.i.tude to avoid the enemy, he could get there in less than an hour. So at most he would return back to the city in two to three hours. At the moment, Shanghai had Old Youling and those powerful awakeners, plus the new equipment, even if No.1’s force was strong, he would not be able to eliminate all his forces in two to three hours.
