Yang Qizhou had anticipated that when the 'Ancient Earth' intersected with 'Reality,' the strange phenomena in the sky would undoubtedly incite massive turbulence at the societal level. He had mentally prepared himself for this, but venturing outside, he found the chaos was far worse than he expected.
On the streets, traffic was gridlocked, crowds were panicked, and the voices declaring Doomsday came one after another. Fear was spreading, as people trembled before the unknown.
Yang Qizhou had no intention of intervening, as this was the responsibility of the authorities.
What occupied his mind was the mysterious calling, saturated with 'Milestone,' 'Truth,' and 'Divinity.'
"Is this the place?" Deep within the alleyway, Yang Qizhou's figure suddenly came into focus, his gaze alert as he scanned the surroundings.
The 'Hidden Cultivator' still seemed shaken by the dreadful ravings. Nodding solemnly, they said, "The calling here was intense back then. It left a deep impression, so there's no mistake."
The 'Rabbit' chimed in from the side,
"The ripples stirred by 'Fate's Radiance' likely haven't smoothed out yet. The likelihood of High Position divine interference here is minimal, but it bears the characteristics of the 'King of Nature,' along with elements like the 'Spiritual Dragon,' the 'Power of Royal Authority,' and numerous Legendary mystical artifacts. Self-preservation shouldn't be a problem."
As these thoughts surfaced in his mind, Yang Qizhou felt slightly settled. He closed his eyes to concentrate deeply.
Within the darkness,
A beam of light emerged from the unseen reaches, growing more dazzling. Ethereal ravings trickled into his ears then:
"Milestone... Fate... Correct... Truth... will ultimately arrive."
"Over here."
Yang Qizhou's eyes snapped open. Without bothering to check whether the 'Hidden Cultivator' and 'Rabbit' were following, he sprinted decisively in one direction.
The 'Rabbit' scratched the back of their head, their face full of confusion. "Isn't that way leading to 'Peace Street'?"
The 'Hidden Cultivator' also wore an expression of doubt.
Capital City was vast. Even for a local, it was impossible to know every nook and cranny. But as someone who grew up in the city's elite circles, the 'Hidden Cultivator' was familiar with its particularly bustling districts.
Peace Street was renowned—a commercial haven filled with posh malls and towering skyscrapers. The workforce there alone numbered over ten thousand, and daily foot traffic exceeded a million. It was hard to imagine that ravings imbued with unmistakable mystical qualities would originate from such a place.
"Let's follow him first and see," the 'Hidden Cultivator' urged, suppressing curiosity as they dragged the 'Rabbit' along to chase after Yang Qizhou's fleeting figure.
The three twisted and turned through the maze-like alleys and quickly arrived at the far end.
But what shocked the 'Hidden Cultivator' and the 'Rabbit' was... instead of the bustling street promised, they were faced with a desolate sight—a church that seemed abandoned, like something out of the previous century.
"Did I take the wrong path?" The 'Rabbit' began to doubt themselves.
The 'Hidden Cultivator,' however, shook their head and responded cautiously, "No, we didn't make a mistake. Under normal circumstances, this alley should lead to 'Peace Street.' The issue isn't us—it's this church."
Yang Qizhou nodded, agreeing firmly.
Capital City was no ordinary locale—it was the nation's heart, where every inch of land carried immense value. For a century-old church to stand here, utterly decrepit and seemingly forgotten by the world, was inconceivable.
Suddenly,
From deep within the church, another wave of ravings emerged:
"You... have finally... come."
Is this voice directed at me? Yang Qizhou felt deeply unsettled, his alertness peaking. He instinctively wanted to ask the 'Hidden Cultivator' and 'Rabbit' what they'd heard, but as he glanced to the side, he realized both of them had vanished.
When did they leave?
No, that's not right—the 'Hidden Cultivator' and 'Rabbit' hadn't disappeared; I simply couldn't see them.
With the support of the 'King of Nature's' pivotal traits, Yang Qizhou swiftly discerned the problem, his face taking on a solemn expression. First, he activated the power of [Residual Ring of the King of Truth]. Then, channeling the Power of Royal Authority, he transformed into the emperor-like figure crowned with laurels and holding a scepter, radiating majestic dignity. He intoned:
"All truths cannot be obscured."
"All falsehoods must dissolve here."
As his words fell, the 'church' before him trembled, and the enigmatic ravings were disrupted by bursts of static.
Ultimately, however, everything returned to calm.
The previously vanished 'Hidden Cultivator' and 'Rabbit' began to materialize again, as though an invisible brush were sketching their forms back into existence from face to body.
At this moment, their expressions were filled with terror and confusion. They frantically surveyed their surroundings, seemingly shaken to their cores. Their emotions gradually eased upon spotting each other again.
"Boss, what happened just now? After hearing a wave of ravings, you suddenly disappeared. I thought—I thought..." The 'Rabbit's' voice quivered, steeped in a sob-like tone, truly terrified.
After calming the rattled young companion, the 'Hidden Cultivator' confessed to facing a similar experience.
"What ravings did you hear?" Yang Qizhou asked in a low voice, his mind brimming with speculation.
"You have finally come."
"You have finally come."
The 'Hidden Cultivator' and the 'Rabbit' responded in perfect unison. Faced with Yang Qizhou's emperor-like presence, their hearts filled with overwhelming reverence and fear.
Just like what I heard, Yang Qizhou thought to himself, his mind narrowing down the possibilities. It seemed highly probable that this call was a trap.
Yang Qizhou pondered briefly before deciding. He looked at the 'Hidden Cultivator' and 'Rabbit' and commanded, "Leave this place immediately. Go as far as possible. Once I've resolved the matter here, I will come find you."
"But..."
The 'Rabbit' opened their mouth to retort, but the 'Hidden Cultivator' stopped them.
