Chapter 773: 405
“The Night Patrol appeared three months ago, a bit earlier than the Demon Game, and along with them, the Destiny Society emerged.”
“When they first appeared, those people were just like ordinary persons and didn’t possess any superhuman strength. Although we, the officials, noticed them, we didn’t pay too much attention and just kept a close watch.”
“It was not until the internal test of the Demon World began that they slowly started to show some extraordinary abilities. The Night Patrol took the initiative to contact us, wanting to cooperate and provide us with strength in reality.”
“The condition for the cooperation was that we, the officials, had to find something for them in the game, a key, a key called the Heavenly Gate Key,”
Su Nan looked at the thick stack of files in his hand as Zhao Qifeng slowly relayed what he knew.
Hearing this, Su Nan’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was stirring with waves.
The Night Patrol was actually searching for the Heavenly Gate Key!
“The Heavenly Gate Key? What is that?” he asked, feigning curiosity.
Zhao Qifeng shook his head: “At first, we didn’t know what the Heavenly Gate Key was either, until during a task, our people accidentally came across one.”
“It was a key made of white jade, and the game’s description said that collecting nine such keys would open the Gate of Heaven.”
“What exactly the Gate of Heaven is, we too were curious, so at that time we didn’t hand over the key to the Night Patrol.”
“But later on, when the game world descended into reality and the spatial channel opened up, to preserve reality, we had no choice but to produce the Heavenly Gate Key, allowing those people to take action.”
“It was also through that opportunity that we learned some information about the Gate of Heaven from their mouths.”
“According to them, the Gate of Heaven could very well be a mysterious place created out of all the remaining celestial fortune by an extremely powerful force from countless millennia ago, to ensure their descendants could survive the impending cataclysm.”
“Behind that gate lies a transcendent opportunity, which only appears at specific times.”
Not the gateway to the world where the Heavenly Race resides?
Hearing this, Su Nan’s thoughts raced.
As for the function of the Heavenly Gate Key, the game’s description had always been just one sentence: gather nine Heavenly Gate Keys to open the Gate of Heaven.
At first, he thought the Heavenly Gate Key was just a game prop, something unique to the game, until later, when he obtained one from the Storage Ring Han Fu gave him, he realized he was wrong.
Afterward, he learned that the reason the Ancient Heavenly Clan appeared was that someone had opened the gateway to the world of the Heavenly Clan, which made him suspect that the Gate of Heaven opened by the Heavenly Gate Key was very likely that very gateway.
At present, Zhao Qifeng’s words overturned his guess once more.
At the same time, he was puzzled; if a force was destroyed, why would it spend all it had to create an opportunity for their descendants to survive the disaster? It all sounded contradictory.
