388: Wire

Watching the Professionals he brought quickly spring into action, Zheng Shanhai looked at Chu Tian and said:

"I've notified all the military bases I could contact. It's highly unlikely that the disruptors are people from our Huaxia Nation.

Furthermore, to be able to cause long-term turmoil in the river of time, the opposing side must have quite a few Time Walkers.

For a force of that caliber, it's almost impossible that they wouldn't guess the person on the river of time is Gu Qinghan, right?"

Chu Tian also shook his head, indicating that he did not know about the situation.

After all, although Shangjing Base had recovered some modern technological equipment, their connection with the outside world was still very limited.

Under these circumstances, obtaining information became incredibly difficult.

Zheng Shanhai sighed slightly and said to Chu Tian:

"Don't go out yet. Stay here and keep an eye on things to prevent any accidents.

Gu Qinghan cannot be harmed. If this game can be ended, the person most likely to end it is him.

They are waiting for me for a meeting over there. I'll take my leave first."

Chu Tian nodded, watching Zheng Shanhai's figure disappear at the doorway.

But not long after, the two Time Walkers in front suddenly cried out in alarm.

Chu Tian quickly asked what happened, and the answer he received was surprisingly:

"Another force is inciting turmoil in the river of time. We need two more people to stabilize this turmoil."

"Add them immediately! Auxiliary Professionals, spare no mana consumption and help them with all your might!"

Chu Tian shouted sternly, yet he heard the Time Walker who had just spoken say weakly:

"Uh... General Chu Tian, it seems we don't need it for now."

Chu Tian frowned tightly. He looked at the Time Walker, wanting him to provide a reasonable explanation.

The Time Walker first intervened in the river of time, wiped away a cold sweat, and said:

"Just now, a force of intervention truly joined in suddenly, and almost capsized Gu Qinghan's boat when we least expected it.

But just now, another force joined, calming the turmoil in the river of time.

Now I don't know what's going on, but we definitely don't need extra help."

The Time Walker next to him also opened his eyes, confirming that his companion was indeed telling the truth.

Chu Tian's brows were knitted together, and his attractive peach blossom eyes were filled with confusion.

These two Time Walkers had no reason to lie, especially at such a critical time.

Therefore, two more factions had just joined in.

Time Walkers are also Legendary Professionals. It takes at least two Time Walkers to cause turmoil in the river of time.

But if a faction can gather more than two Time Walkers, it means that force definitely has a certain scale.

Would a force of this level fail to guess who was on the river of time?

After all, Gu Qinghan had previously left a shadow in the hearts of many Professionals during the auction.

"Is it because they think Gu Qinghan won't be able to find them, leading some people to become greedy?

Or are these people simply trying to kill Gu Qinghan?"

Chu Tian thought silently, but could only watch Gu Qinghan's boat continuously move forward on the light screen.

This was the innate ability of a Secret Realm Peeker from Shangjing Base, allowing him to observe the situation inside an activated Secret Realm for a period without entering it.

The color of the light screen gradually faded, finally turning into scattered spots of light and disappearing from here.

Chu Tian found a chair and sat down, muttering as he looked at the sweating Time Walkers:

"Gu Qinghan, you mustn't capsize here..."

...Gu Qinghan was now standing beside Meina, watching the water surface ahead constantly churn, yet quickly calm down.

It looked as if some kind of force was engaged in a confrontation.

At this point, Gu Qinghan no longer believed this was an intrinsic problem with the river of time.

If he were here alone, he might have considered that possibility.

But with Meina, a Secret Realm Peeker, by his side, how could he continuously be targeted by this Secret Realm?

Meina turned her head and said breathlessly to Gu Qinghan:

"I feel something is wrong. Someone must be deliberately targeting us.

After all, it is almost impossible for a Secret Realm Peeker to be targeted by the Secret Realm while inside it, unless someone intervenes, like you did last time."

Although the waves in the water were calmed by an unknown force, it increased the difficulty for Meina to control the boat's movement.

Gu Qinghan nodded. Meina's words confirmed the thoughts in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly took out a high-grade mana potion bottle and handed it to Meina.

Meina was stunned for a moment, and after using it, she prepared to return it to Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan, however, shook his head: "Keep it. It might be useful later."

Then, under Meina's gaze, he suddenly sat down.

"If they want to mess with me, they should first check if their luck is strong enough."

Gu Qinghan snorted coldly in his heart. They didn't know how much longer they would drift on the river of time, and continuing to drag this out would likely exhaust Meina.

Therefore, he now had to find a way to solve this problem.

Currently, none of his skills could help, but he could create his own skills.

Although he wasn't sure if he could succeed, sitting back and waiting for death was definitely not his style.

Closing his eyes, Gu Qinghan tried his best to relax his mind.

He thought about the six types of power he could use, and finally concluded that perhaps only by creating a skill related to spirit or curse could he solve the current problem.

However, he had no inspiration.

After all, both of these powers were relatively abstract, and he couldn't even imagine their specific forms.

Helplessly, Gu Qinghan opened his eyes and looked around.

He watched Meina spread her hands, holding up a protective shield to guard the small boat.

However, there was actually no direct contact between her hands and the protective shield; instead, there was a gap.

On the river surface, the waves that were about to churn immediately subsided, yet there was no physical object controlling them.

Gu Qinghan suddenly realized that when he used his skills, he also didn't make contact, yet he could control his subordinates and those skills.

He could even communicate with his subordinates mentally.

"I can communicate with them because I established a connection with them in my mind.

Similarly, when I use a skill, I also have a similar connection with that skill..."

Gu Qinghan's gaze suddenly stopped. He looked straight ahead, watching the river surface where waves could surge at any moment.

It was as if he had suddenly entered a mysterious state; the other scenery in his vision gradually faded.

In the end, only the water surface remained.

Even Meina, who was not far in front of him, seemed to disappear, leaving only himself suspended over this river of time.

At a certain moment, Gu Qinghan suddenly felt something flash in his vision.

Although the flash quickly faded, Gu Qinghan knew this was not an illusion.

Within a few seconds, he saw the flash again; it seemed to be a line.

That line connected the sky and the water surface, and the end leading to the sky went to an unknown place.

And the point where this line connected to the water surface was precisely where the water faintly showed signs of rising waves.

This thin line became increasingly clear in Gu Qinghan's eyes, and finally, a second, a third line appeared... Even when Meina reappeared in his vision, there were two thin lines between Meina's hands and the energy shield.

What Gu Qinghan didn't know was that his eyes were no longer black and white; instead, they seemed to be burning with two clusters of ethereal green flames.

The entire world seemed to have turned a faint green, with only those thin lines shining brightly, making them extremely conspicuous.

A smile appeared on Gu Qinghan's lips, followed by a hint of faint mockery:

"Is this the connection between a skill and its caster?

If I sever this connection, what would happen..."
