Gu Changqing put away the space rings they had offered. He never thought that the Shenyu Clan would have these two things.
Shenyu Hongyun and the others who were kneeling on the ground and didn’t dare to look up at Gu Changqing felt the aura on his body gradually receding. They could finally catch their breath. “Damn you, Diqin Naxi. I was almost dragged into this by you!”
Red Cloud cursed in his heart. He was glad he exiled her. Otherwise, they would’ve really faced a calamity.
Gu Changqing liked the Shenyu Clan’s attitude. After this matter was settled, he left in a flash. However, he suddenly thought that since the clan had an astrolabe and one of the mysterious fragments, they might know other secrets.
He might as well ask.
Seeing that Gu Changqing was about to leave, Shenyu Hongyun and the rest were about to heave a sigh of relief.
Who knew that in the next second, the wormhole signals suddenly disappeared. They were so shocked that they raised their heads to look at the sky, only to see Gu Changqing slowly descending again.
“Your Excellency… Is there anything else?”
Shenyu Hongyu was extremely terrified, while Shenyu Baijing and Shenyu Baifeng were paralyzed on the ground.
They all thought that Gu Changqing had gone back on his word and planned to kill them.
The clan’s mighty tier-99 experts were like Iambs waiting to be slaughtered at this moment. They did not even have the courage to resist.
“What are you afraid of?”
Looking at their appearance, Gu Changqing knew that they were scared of him. He said lightly, “I just want to ask you some questions.”
Hearing his words, Shenyu Hongyun’s nervous heart calmed down a little. He said, “Feel free to ask,
Your Excellency. We will tell you everything we know!”
Gu Changqing nodded, satisfied with the other party’s attitude.
“How much do you know about Blue Star’s origin?”
“This…”
Hearing his question, Shenyu Hongyun and his two sisters looked at each other. They knew very little about something that happened in the past.
Seeing their expressions, Gu Changqing already understood that their knowledge was limited. He no longer cared about it and prepared to open the wormhole to leave.
Looking at his disappointed expression, Shenyu Hongyun’s mind spun rapidly. He was afraid that Gu Changqing would be unhappy and slaughter his entire clan.
Gu Changqing looked at their trembling appearances and said lightly, “Don’t worry. Since I’ve promised to let you go, I won’t go back on my word.”
Afterward, he turned around and left, but Shenyu Hongyun shouted again, “Your Excellency, please wait a moment! I’ve thought of something!”
Gu Changqing closed the wormhole again and looked at the other party, waiting for his answer. “I remember now. There’s a strange ancient book in my clan, but no one can decipher its contents.”
Shenyu Hongyun said carefully, paying attention to the changes in Gu Changqing’s expression from time to time.
Gu Changqing was not interested in what Shenyu Hongyun was thinking. He said, “Bring it over and let me see.”
“Please wait a moment, Your Excellency.”
Shenyu Hongyun immediately turned into a ray of light and entered the secret realm. He quickly returned with a black book in his hand and said respectfully, “This is it.”
Gu Changqing took the ancient book.
“It’S quite heavy!”
His face revealed a look of surprise. His current state could shake the universe with a flip of his hand, and thousands of clans could be annihilated under his back. His personal power was the strongest in the world, but an ancient book could actually feel heavy to hold. It was enough to show how special it was.
Looking back at Shenyu Hongyun, his arm which held the book earlier was even trembling slightly.
“Interesting!”
Gu Changqing touched the ancient book with his hand, and a desolate feeling surged into his divine sense.
He placed his spiritual sense into the book through his fingers but found nothing. He tried to destroy a corner of it using force, but the force disappeared without any traces.
Gu Changqing’s eyes narrowed slightly. This kind of magical material was simply unheard of. Even with his current strength, he was actually unable to harm a single book.
It was too unexpected.
What surprised him was that this seemingly thick book actually only had seven pages. It didn’t even have a cover. There was a painting on every page.
Gu Changqing looked at the first page. Even with the most undemanding eyes, he was unable to say a word about the painter’s skill. The latter was even worse than a primary school student on Blue Star prior to its mutation period.
It was extremely sloppy, and one could only roughly see the contents drawn on it.
A group of extremely simple, tiny people with round heads raised their heads and looked up like a few matchsticks. The drawing was that simple.
You’re looking up. What are you looking at?
Gu Changqing raised his head subconsciously.
In the sky.
In the universe beyond the sky.
The universe where the stars are located?
There seemed to be nothing difficult to interpret in the first picture. It was nothing more than something in the sky that attracted human attention.
Or perhaps…
Gu Changqing remembered the history he had learned during school back on Blue Star. Ancient humans learned to stand, look at the sky, and use their thoughts from crawling. Thus, human civilization gradually emerged.
The civilizations continued to explore the lands and the entire planet. Finally, they turned their eyes to the sky.
Exploring the unknown was their eternal motivation. The first picture might be showing the ancient humans trying to explore the universe.
This could be the best explanation at the moment.
Gu Changqing repeatedly looked at the drawing several times, but in the end, he still couldn’t see anything else.
On the second page.
The drawing displayed what seemed to be a wilderness. There were humans holding various simple weapons as they fought various monsters..
