Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Zhulu County, the place was clear.
The wounds left behind by countless years of war were slowly being healed.
There were new people everywhere. Chi Shu looked at the flourishing scene in front of him and his expression was a little dazed.
A month ago, the human race was still in a state of panic because of the invasion of the space beasts. Those with weaker minds even had the thought of killing themselves.
The warriors with slightly stronger divine rune powers were also frustrated because they could not find a way to kill the beasts.
The situation of the old and young in the county was even worse, needless to say.
In order to not let the warriors be distracted, Chi Shu had no choice but to let them give up the houses passed down by their ancestors, and they would have to hide in the dark underground.
The lack of supplies made many people face the dilemma of not having enough to eat. Most of the children were yellow and thin, and they were so hungry that they cried late at night.
As a large area of the planting area was outside the city, the beasts wandered in all directions. How could Chi Shu dare to let everyone go out of the city to find food?
The brawny men who had volunteered to go out to get food previously had all died.
As the County Lord, Chi Shu saw the people’s empty eyes and could not help but treat every day as the end of Zhulu County.
This moment came to an end by Gu Changqing’s arrival.
The sullen days of being suppressed by the space beasts were gone forever. He could finally turn the page.
Today, a month later, Gu Changqing was like a spiritual pillar that had been injected into the county, revitalizing everyone.
Although the food outside the city had been ruined, only one-tenth of it was ruined because there were enough plants and the fruits buried underground.
Everyone worked together to dig out the huge fruits and transport them to the city, storing them properly in a special cellar.
Based on the current population, it was enough to support them for a year and a half.
The entire human race was now united. According to Gu Changqing’s suggestion, they reinforced the houses and cities on the ground.
At the same time, he did not forget to strengthen their sentry posts.
Moreover, he made sure to set up all the defense systems.
Gu Changqing’s eyes were cold, but he didn’t put on airs in the days he spent with the humans in Zhulu County.
Everyone in the county liked to be close to him.
Especially the children and women, who always found all kinds of excuses to surround and listen to him.
Chi Shu hadn’t seen such a thing in a while and missed his childhood very much.
However, he knew very well that Zhulu County had already undergone earth-shattering changes. It was even more beautiful than everything he had seen when he was young.
Gu Changqing was the one who brought all these foreseeable futures.
Especially the sudden awakening of divine rune power. If not for his guidance, who knew how much blood, sweat and tears the human race would have to pay in order to reach their current strength level.
However, there was always a vague sense of alienation on Gu Changqing, making people puzzled. It was as if he did not belong to this world.
As the County Lord, Chi Shu was naturally not an incompetent person. He had his own judgment on many things.
He knew that one day, Gu Changqing would leave. Although the latter was also human, he did not belong here.
Now, he was urging everyone to build the city day and night.
He wanted the young men to enter the forbidden area and find a totem stone pillar that was compatible with them.
All of this was to prepare for the day of departure.
Gu Changqing sat in the middle of the forbidden area. Around him, the totem pillars lit up one by one.
Divine rune power flowed endlessly. The divine light on his body was brighter than ever.
Not far from him, a few youths who had just connected to the totem pillars turned their heads to look at him who was surrounded by divine rune light.
Seeing this, they secretly made up her mind to keep up with his pace.
In the future, they believed that they could also be like him and kill their way up to the heavens.
In the blink of an eye, another few days had passed.
On this day, the flowing light on Gu Changqing’s body suddenly erupted, and the entire forbidden area He then opened his eyes.
“Grim Reaper, 100% compatibility!” “King of Hell, 100% compatibility!” “White Tiger, 100% compatibility!” “Black Dragon, 100% compatibility!” “Human Skull, 100% compatibility!” “Qilin, 100% compatibility!”
“It’s just a pity that there’s no change for Nezha… And Luo Hou!”
What kind of secret was hidden within the powerful Luo Hou Divine Rune?
Even at this stage, he was still unable to fully unleash the divine rune’s powers.
Through the time he spent communicating with the totem pillars in the forbidden area, Gu Changqing had already determined that this place was indeed the origin of divine rune power. At the very least, it was one of them.
These totem pillars should be inextricably linked to Blue Star’s origins.
In fact, these were the seeds of hope left for the Blue Star and the human race.
Gu Changqing had more guesses about the mysterious beings he had encountered during his trip to Universe City.
However, he was still not completely sure. Everything had to wait until he returned to the original universe and searched through all the ancient clans before he could finally get the answer.
Retracting his scattered thoughts, he began to investigate his gains these days.
The most obvious gain was the increase in his potential index.
His potential index, which was originally 36,728 points, was now 100% compatible with all his divine runes.
Now, it had already reached 39,986 points. It was only 14 points away from breaking through the 40,000-point barrier.
Gu Changqing had a premonition that once his potential index broke through 40,000 points, there would definitely be a huge change beyond his imagination.
However, the further one went, the harder it would be to increase it.
He tried to communicate with a slightly weaker totem pillar and similarly obtained a 100% compatibility.
However, in the end, his potential index did not increase by even a little.
After a few consecutive attempts, Gu Changqing already understood in his heart that this method was no longer effective in increasing his potential index.
Perhaps, in the future, he would have to find a way to increase his compatibility with Nezha or Luo Hou before he could break through to 40,000 points.o
Despite that, he could no longer do it here.
The second harvest made Gu Changqing overjoyed, which was the 100% compatibility he obtained with his divine runes.
The greatest use of this harvest was the Divine Rune Concretization. He could already launch attacks and defenses according to his own will.
With a thought, the Grim Reaper and Human Skull’s manifestations appeared. In the next second, the two engaged in a fierce battle.
The two divine runes exchanged blows as fast as lightning, constantly changing their positions. It was completely different from the relatively dull battle from before.
They continued their short battle. In order to avoid causing too much of a commotion that might damage the totem pillars in the forbidden area, the Grim Reaper and the Human Skull did not manifest too much.
Gu Changqing understood this in his heart and immediately withdrew them.
In the following battles, he would be able to use more and more techniques.
Each Divine Rune Concretization could take charge of an area by itself, allowing him to obtain even more assistance..
