210: Chapter 210 The Golden Light of the Great Dao, the Masses Kneel to Welcome the True God

Lin Waner nodded quickly and stood up, supporting herself against a stalactite.

Her injuries were severe, and she walked very slowly, grimacing in pain with every step.

Su Changge followed behind her, maintaining a distance of three meters, ready to run at any moment.

The two walked along the cavern for about half an hour before finally reaching the end.

At the end was a massive underground fissure, across which lay the inner area of the Northern Region.

The fissure was over ten meters wide, and below was a pitch-black Void Realm, its bottom invisible.

Lin Waner stood at the edge of the fissure and pointed to the opposite side.

“Fellow Daoist, crossing this fissure leads to the inner part of the Northern Region. The Ancestral Hall is located at the center inside.”

Su Changge stood at the edge of the fissure, took a look down, and his legs turned weak with fear.

Such a wide fissure was impossible for someone at the Qi Refining First Layer to jump across.

Su Changge frowned and looked at Lin Waner.

“How do we get across?”

Lin Waner pulled a talisman from her robes and handed it to Su Changge.

“Fellow Daoist, this is a Light Body Talisman. Stick it on your body, and you can float across.”

Su Changge took the talisman and glanced at it; it was yellow with complex patterns drawn on it.

He didn't know how to use talismans, and he didn't dare let Lin Waner know he didn't know.

Su Changge waved his hand, feigning disdain.

“This King has no need for such mundane things.”

He deliberately ordered the System to exchange for a Floating Special Effect, and his entire body slowly began to float.

Su Changge floated in mid-air and flew toward the other side of the fissure.

Lin Waner stared at Su Changge, her eyes wide.

He could actually fly without using a talisman?

Was this Fellow Daoist's cultivation level really that high?

Lin Waner quickly applied the Light Body Talisman and floated after Su Changge.

Just as the two floated to the middle of the fissure, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated.

Su Changge felt the Floating Special Effect on his body vanish instantly.

His entire body fell uncontrollably.

Su Changge screamed in terror, flailing his arms and legs as he struggled.

Lin Waner also fell, shouting in fear.

“Oh no! There's spatial turbulence here! The Light Body Talisman has failed!”

After falling about a dozen meters, they suddenly stopped.

Su Changge felt himself floating; gravity was gone.

He flailed his limbs, completely unable to control his body.

Su Changge looked down at his feet; it was pure darkness, with no end in sight.

Scared out of his wits, he hurriedly ordered the System to exchange for the Floating Special Effect.

However, the System's notification sounded.

[Regional interference, temporary loss of connection.]

The System actually dropped the ball!

Su Changge's face turned pale. The System lost connection at a time like this?

He was dead meat!

Lin Waner was also floating in mid-air, her face white with fear as she shouted at Su Changge.

“Fellow Daoist! This is the Northern Region's Void Region! There's no gravity! No direction!”

“We can't get out!”

Su Changge's heart sank to the bottom. The Void Region?

He remembered the records in Old Ancestor Xuantian's memories; there was a Void Region in the Northern Region, and no one who entered had ever come out.

Su Changge struggled wildly, trying to float toward the light.

But the more he struggled, the further away he floated.

Su Changge recalled the physics he learned in middle school; in a zero-gravity environment, one could move using reaction force.

He quickly took out his bag of dry rations and threw it behind him.

The ration bag flew out, and using the reaction force, Su Changge floated forward.

It worked!

Su Changge's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out all the useless items on him, throwing them back one by one.

Water skins, jade talismans, extra clothes—he threw them all out.

Using the reaction force, Su Changge floated bit by bit toward the light ahead.

Lin Waner watched Su Changge's actions, completely stunned.

This Fellow Daoist's actions were far too strange, weren't they?

But it seemed to be working?

Lin Waner followed Su Changge's example, throwing away her useless items and floating forward after him.

After floating for about half an hour, the light ahead grew brighter.

Su Changge was overjoyed; they were about to get out!

He threw another item, using the reaction force to speed up.

After floating for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Su Changge finally burst out of the dark Void Region.

As soon as he emerged, he felt gravity return, and his whole body fell.

Su Changge crashed onto the ground, his buttocks once again throbbing with pain.

He rubbed his rear as he stood up and looked around.

He had actually returned to the edge of the Northern Region's Fog Barrier!

Outside was the ground of the Blood Abyss Realm, and on a distant hill stood the figures of the Old Priest and the Four Princes!

Su Changge's face turned pale. He had floated for so long, only to end up back where he started?

Lin Waner also tumbled out, looking at the surroundings with a dazed expression.

“How did we end up back here?”

Before Su Changge could react, he heard the voice of the Old Priest from a distance.

“It's the King! The King has come out!”

Su Changge's heart jolted. The Old Priest's call was like a great bell, instantly snapping him out of the terror of the void. He knew he couldn't show the slightest flaw now, or the “King's” majesty he had meticulously built would crumble. He quickly adjusted his posture, his wide robes smoothing out under the pull of invisible spiritual energy. He then coughed lightly, his internal aura circulating as he deliberately projected the unfathomable air of a Grandmaster.

“System, exchange for the Great Dao Golden Light Special Effect!” His mind raced as the command was issued.

Boom!

In the next instant, a blindingly brilliant golden light erupted from Su Changge's body like the rising sun, enveloping him entirely. The golden light was so intense it was hard to look at directly, yet it didn't feel gaudy or vulgar; instead, it carried the rhythm of the Great Dao, sacred and inviolable. He took the opportunity to soar into the air, his figure slowly coming to a halt in mid-air, looking down from above at the shocked and dazed Old Priest and Four Princes on the hill below.

Su Changge coughed again. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a grand pressure that pierced through the void and reached the Soul. Every word was clear and powerful, shaking the minds of everyone present.

“The place where the Ancestor fell is also the place of rebirth.” His gaze was deep, his tone flat yet filled with immense meaning. “On this journey, this King shall personally set foot there to cleanse that eternal malaise.”

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell in all directions. The Old Priest and the Four Princes were already terrified by Su Changge's return from the void, and hearing such world-encompassing words now made their Dao Hearts tremble. An indescribable fanaticism welled up from the depths of their Souls.

The King! He had actually returned safely from that life-and-death Void Region!

The King! He even spoke such a declaration that spanned eternity, displaying unrivaled dominance!

This was clearly the Reincarnation of the Ancestral True Spirit! His cultivation was so unfathomable that it far exceeded their imaginations!

The Old Priest was the first to break free from the extreme shock. His aged eyes burst with a fanatical light, and he knelt on the ground without hesitation. His body trembled with excitement, and his forehead struck the coarse rocks heavily, making a dull thud.

“Our King's Divine Might! Our King is a True God descended to the world!”

The Four Princes' hearts were also surging, their eyes burning with an incredibly intense fire of reverence. They all knelt together, prostrating themselves with expressions of utmost piety.

“Our King's Divine Might! We are willing to follow our King for eternity, through fire and water, even unto ten thousand deaths!”

The synchronized shouts shook the sky, echoing again and again, filled with a near-delirious fanaticism. The withered leaves on the surrounding trees rustled and fell from the sound waves, adding a touch of solemnity and gravity to the scene.
