Divine Rune Awakening: Starting With Various Divine Runes and Dominating the World

However, now that he was here, Gu Changqing could not find a way to go back.

He couldn’t possibly be trapped here for countless epochs.

He thought of the worst-case scenario as he continued to search. However, what made him feel helpless was that this had already happened.

Just like in the fog, no matter where he flew, he would eventually return to a similar scene.

Even if he could already skillfully use this place’s spatial laws, he still couldn’t figure out the mystery of his inability to fly out.

The final possibility was that the space here had been sealed by an even stronger force. Unless there were special circumstances or certain conditions were met, it was possible to leave this space.

On the misty river.

Huang Di slowly opened his eyes. Zhang Hu, who was guarding beside him, instantly sensed the former’s aura.

“Senior Huang, it’s not a good idea to wait like this!”

It had been more than ten days since Gu Changqing went to investigate the river when he discovered that there was something wrong with it.

Zhang Hu, Huang Di, and the others didn’t see him return. They could only stay in the barrier created by Huang Di and cultivate while waiting.

As Zhang Hu spoke, the others woke up one after another.

Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and said, “Boss is a reliable person. Even if we run into trouble, he won’t abandon us!”

Monkey King and Qi Yuna nodded in agreement. “This river is very strange, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem. What do you think?”

Zhang Hu was a little annoyed. He stood up and stomped on the ground twice.

Finally, he said angrily, “What else can I see? You all know Boss’s strength. Something must have happened to him. Otherwise, it’s impossible for a living person to disappear without a trace!”

It was fine if everyone didn’t discuss it, but the more they discussed, the more excited they became.

Actually, everyone knew that this place was strange. But they couldn’t tell what was off about it.

Huang Di was the calmest person there. When he saw them whispering, he directly spoke.

“His Excellency the Star Emperor has his own intentions for making us wait here. Now, we can only wait patiently and not cause any more trouble!”

Wu Rui and Zhang Hu’s mood was about the same.

“What if Boss needs help?” he retorted in a low voice. “How can we help him if we just wait here? Brother Hu, why don’t I go with you?” Taotie and Vermilion Bird chose to stand on Huang Di’s side.

Now, Zhang Hu was even more annoyed.

“Universe City is unpredictable, and no one expected Boss to go missing. You

can wait, but I can’t!”

After saying that, he walked into the foggy river.

Wu Rui and Zhao Feng chased after him for two steps, but he pushed them back and said, “I’m enough for this kind of risky thing. You guys wait here!” Huang Di looked at him meaningfully but did not stop him.

Zhang Hu walked out of the barrier and came to the surface of the river.

He still remembered how his boss disappeared. The latter had plunged into the river, his aura completely disappearing afterward.

“Is there something wrong with this river?”

Zhang Hu was skeptical. He reached his hand into the water, and his palm looking a little twisted under it.

Then, he made up his mind and jumped into the quiet river.

Thud!

Water splashed everywhere.

Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment.

The icy cold feeling made him believe that the river was solid and there was no problem.

After diving into the water for a while and finding nothing, he flew back to the surface.

Ever since he came to Universe City, he had experienced many strange things. However, this was the first time he had seen a living person disappear without a trace.

“Boss! Boss! Where are you?”

He floated above the river and shouted Gu Changqing’s name, but he didn’t get any response.

The area around the river that had been quiet a moment ago suddenly became covered in fog.

His heart sank. “Could it be that the source of Boss’s disappearance isn’t this river, but this fog?”

He muttered to himself, but no one could give him an answer. However, this thought took root in his mind.

In the barrier, the usually quiet Taotie suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the river.

When Zhao Feng and Wu Rui saw this, their expressions also became nervous. Wu Rui said uneasily, “Brother Hu will be fine, right?”

Zhao Feng didn’t say anything and turned to look at Huang Di. The latter was also looking at him, their gazes meeting.

Zhang Hu flew back to the crowd and cursed, “If we can’t find Boss, no one will have a good time!”

He looked at everyone and said with a solemn expression, “Follow me to find

Boss. I suspect that he is in the fog!”

Huang Di suddenly stood up and pulled Zhang Hu’s arm, “Wait a minute!”

Then, he swept his gaze across everyone and said in a deep voice, “All of you, go with Zhang Hu!”

For several days, Gu Changqing swept through every corner of the wilderness.

Countless space beasts and Otherworldly Devils who had been hiding were ignited by the Spirit Flames the moment they saw Gu Changqing, and they were eventually turned into hollow shells.

He could no longer remember how many he had killed, but the pure spirit that he absorbed and refined had made his spirit grow stronger.

However, that creature still did not show itself.

Once again, he killed the beasts and demons that appeared in his divine sense.

He looked around, noticing that there weren’t many Otherworldly Demons left in this place.

Returning to Zhulu County.

The human race had an unprecedented period of peace.

The houses that were destroyed in the war had all been rebuilt. Everyone was intoxicated under this rare tranquility.

They knew that this peace was hard to come by, and they were even more unwilling to lose it.

All the people who had gained strength from the totem pillars were training harder.

Gu Changqing’s might was unreachable to them.

However, everyone knew that he could not protect them forever. In the end, the most important thing was to make themselves stronger.

It had been many days since they had seen any Otherworldly Demons or space beasts.

According to County Lord Chi Shu, Gu Changqing went out to hunt. Presumably, all of this was thanks to him.

Gu Changqing returned to the city and was immediately welcomed by warm enthusiasm.

However, he wasn’t in the mood for this. In a flash, he arrived at the center of

Zhulu County.

He entered the forbidden area.

The moment he stepped in, an eye seemed to slowly open in the sky and quickly close..
