Chapter 773 - Chapter 773: 405 (2/2)

Could it be that the force wanted to rise again from the ashes?

But that wasn’t right either – since it was prepared for surviving a disaster, it meant that the disaster would come again and would be difficult to overcome.

What kind of disaster could recur?

A thought flashed through his mind, and suddenly he considered a possibility.

Noticing his change, Zhao Qifeng continued, “You must have thought of it, right?”

“Actually, at that time we were also puzzled, but with the public beta test of the game and the appearance of the Luck Child’s task, we guessed that the Gate of Heaven is very likely a legacy left from the time before the last depletion of celestial fortune.”

“And the timing of the Heavenly Gate Key’s appearance is very likely when the celestial fortune is once again on the brink of depletion!”

The Gate of Heaven turned out to be a legacy from the last time celestial fortune was exhausted!

Su Nan was taken aback; this outcome was something he had never considered.

It wasn’t his fault, though. The depletion of heaven and earth’s qi luck was not something recorded in the ancient books of the Human race; nobody knew about it since the rise and fall of qi luck tides span too vast a time.

Perhaps there were records in Ancient Times, but they had been lost over the ebbing flow of time.

Zhao Qifeng went on: “The Destiny Society and the Night Patrol come from the same world, and they clearly knew long ago that the celestial fortune would be depleted. To survive this disaster, both parties came to our world, searching for ways to overcome it.”

“However, the two chose different methods. The Destiny Society put all their hopes in the treasure that created the game, which I think you understand.”

With that, Zhao Qifeng cast a deep glance at Su Nan.

Su Nan’s expression remained unchanged; the fact that he got that special Game Bracelet was not a secret. Ordinary players might not know it, but the Chinese government, which had collaborated with the Night Patrol, must be aware.

Fortunately, no one knew what abilities that tiny fragment of the supreme treasure had granted him.

Seeing Su Nan’s expressionless face, Zhao Qifeng continued, “While the Night Patrol set their sights on the Gate of Heaven, believing that finding the nine Heavenly Gate Keys and obtaining what lies beyond the Gate of Heaven could potentially allow them to survive the disaster.”

Having finished, Zhao Qifeng sighed deeply, his expression filled with helplessness. The Destiny Society and the Night Patrol were both preparing for the impending disaster due to the depletion of celestial fortune, while they couldn’t even ensure their own temporary safety.

“How many keys have the Night Patrol collected now?”

Su Nan asked the question he was most concerned about.

Zhao Qifeng shook his head again: “We don’t know. We only found one key, but those people are also searching on their own.”

After a moment of thought, he added with some uncertainty: “It seems they have some method, some way to use the key we found before, to locate the other keys.”
