"Little friend Guhan, do you see the black line beneath your feet?"
Liu Bei, who had entered first, pointed at his feet. Guhan lowered his head and saw a black line extending into the distance. It was impossible to tell where the black line ended.
"Could this black line extend all the way to the headquarters of the Martyr's Palace?" Guhan speculated.
"Little friend Guhan, you are indeed smart. Let's go!"
Liu Bei gave Gu Han a look of surprise. Then, he flew up along the black line. Gu Han and Zhang Fei followed closely behind him. Soon, they had entered the dimensional gap.
As they were flying, Guhan noticed that there were many dimensional walls that resembled soap bubbles within the dimensional gap. Guhan knew that each of these soap bubbles represented a brand new dimension, a brand new world.
According to the information Guhan had, most of the dimensional spaces represented by soap bubbles were barren spaces without any life. Only around one-thousandth of the dimensional worlds had life. These life forms formed the source of Yuan Kou's invasion. They were the source of all the disasters on Earth.
"Little friend Guhan, are you interested in these dimensional worlds?"
Seeing Guhan looking around, Liu Bei, who was flying in front, said sincerely, "Actually, what is so good about Earth?
War was unbearable, and disputes were endless. It was no longer the perfect Earth.
Little Friend Gu Han, if you were to find a peaceful and peaceful world with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, then with your strength, you could easily become the king of that world. You could become the ruler of the entire world and rule over the billions of lives in that world. That would be an extremely simple matter. Why would you waste your youth and life on Earth? "
"It really is as wonderful as Imperial Uncle said. Then, why don't you find a dimensional world to live in?
Wouldn't this be a perfect way to fulfill Imperial Uncle's wish of reviving the Han Dynasty and finding another Han Dynasty? "Guhan asked with a smile.
"… … …" Liu Bei was stumped by Guhan's rhetorical question. After being stunned for a moment, he said with a disappointed expression, "Revive the Han Dynasty … … if it is not that land … … how can the Han Dynasty be revived?"
Following that, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei maintained complete silence. As for Guhan, he gained a deeper understanding of this world. However, to Guhan's surprise, he was unable to absorb or sense any sword essence in the dimensional gap.
Guhan immediately communicated with his Sword Ladies and asked if they could absorb the sword essence in the dimensional gap. However, the outcome was the same. All the Sword Ladies were unable to sense the sword essence in the dimensional gap.
"This isn't right!
If the dimensional vortex is really connected to the dimensional gap, there should be endless sword essence in the dimensional gap. Otherwise, where do the sword essence in our bodies come from? "
Gu Han muttered to himself in bewilderment. He had a vague feeling that there might be a great secret hidden in this question.
As Guhan was pondering, a majestic palace complex gradually appeared before Guhan's eyes.
The palace complex was mottled and withered, filled with the aura of time. At the same time, Guhan had mixed feelings as he looked at it.
"I didn't expect there to be such a majestic building in the dimensional gap. Your Martyr's Palace is truly powerful to be able to build such a majestic palace complex in the dimensional gap!" Guhan said in awe as he looked at the majestic palace complex before him.
"Little friend Gu Han, you are mistaken. This palace complex is unlike the newly constructed Endless Palace, which was built after the Great Apocalypse. This is a true palace complex from before the Great Apocalypse. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that this is the palace complex from before the Great Apocalypse, the palace complex from before the Great Apocalypse with a history of 600 years," Liu Bei said smilingly.
"Could it be … … You people …"
"You guessed it right. Back then, all the major factions had moved their headquarters into the dimensional gap.
However, the Heavenly Court brought their Heavenly Palace into this world. Jehovah also brought his Heaven over. Tathagata also brought his Mount Tathagata. We have nothing. After much discussion, the few of us decided to move the palace complex in the old Yan Jing City into this dimensional gap. That is how the Martyr's Palace headquarters you see now came into being! "Liu Bei explained straightforwardly.
"No wonder our descendants never saw any traces of the Forbidden City when they went to Old Yan's Palace.
I thought it had been destroyed by your hands. I never expected your Martyr's Palace to move it here! "
Guhan said with a sigh. This was a secret that humans had never known. Aside from Drifting Goblet, Jiandi, and some of his swordbearers, no one else had been fortunate enough to enter the Martyr's Palace headquarters. As such, no one knew that the Forbidden City was here.
"Follow me!"
Under Liu Bei's lead, Guhan nimbly entered the Martyr's Palace. The moment he stepped foot into the Forbidden City, Guhan had already made all the necessary preparations.
Naturally, he did not believe that Liu Bei would not inform the Martyr's Palace headquarters of his arrival. Guhan believed that the moment he stepped foot into the Martyr's Palace, he would be attacked by the countless Yuan Kou inside.
However, to Guhan's surprise, when he was about to enter the inner palace from the outer perimeter of the Forbidden City, not a single Yuan Kou jumped out to kill him. Although he noticed many pairs of eyes staring at him from the shadows, not a single one jumped out to fight him. Even when he arrived at the Palace of Compassionate Peace under Liu Bei's lead, not a single one of them took the initiative to show themselves.
"Are you wondering how we were able to arrive here safely?" Seeing the look of surprise on Guhan's face, Liu Bei finally felt somewhat happy.
On the way here, he had been suppressed by Guhan and seen through by Guhan. Now, there was finally a time when even Guhan could not see through him.
"What's so difficult about that?"
Guhan lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "It's just that this Seamless Corridor is a place where death is certain. No one has ever been able to leave this place alive. That is why you all believe that as long as I step into the Seamless Corridor, I will definitely die. That is why there is no need to risk your life to fight me. Am I right?"
"Correct!
That's it!
I didn't expect you to see through this as well! "
Liu Bei sighed. He stared at the tightly shut gates of the Palace of Compassionate Peace in a daze and said, "It is as you guessed. This Seamless Corridor is a place where death is certain.
Back then, our ancestor accidentally entered it and has never come out since. If you really want to enter, it will save us the trouble of dealing with you. "
"Right now, you have two paths to choose from. You can either enter the Seamless Corridor and search for the item you want, or you can set up a battlefield here and see if you can be like Drifting Goblet and Jiandi in the past and kill your way out of this place!" As Liu Bei finished speaking, five figures appeared in the sky.
Although the five figures were just illusory images, Guhan could sense the formidable power of laws emanating from them.
Without question, all of them were Primordial-Class Yuan Kou. They were also the strongest experts left behind to guard the headquarters.
If Guhan wished to leave, he would likely have to defeat these Primordial-Class experts.
"Open the door!
Since I'm here, I've been waiting for this moment for more than three years! "Gu Han said without hesitation.
"Then, after you!"
Liu Bei pushed with his palm and the gates of the Palace of Compassionate Peace burst open … … however, it was different from the luxurious residence of the legendary Empress Dowager. At present, there was nothing inside the Palace of Compassionate Peace. There was only a dark corridor leading deep into the Palace of Compassionate Peace. It would appear that this was the legendary Seamless Corridor.
"Thank you!" Guhan clasped his hands toward Liu Bei and prepared to enter the Palace of Compassionate Peace.
"Wait!"
As Guhan stepped into the Palace of Compassionate Peace, Liu Bei, who was behind him, suddenly asked, "What are you looking for by entering the Seamless Corridor?
A person?
Time? "
"A person!" Guhan hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Are you looking for Miss Artoria?" Liu Bei asked again.
"Yes!"
"It really is her!" Liu Bei let out a long sigh. "Do you have any last words?
I can help you convey them to the humans in Yuzhang City. "
"No need. When I bring her out, I will personally speak to my people!" Guhan smiled.
"In that case, I will wait for you to come out!" Liu Bei finally shut his mouth and said nothing else.
…
The moment both of Guhan's feet stepped into the Seamless Corridor, the Palace of Compassionate Peace that was behind Guhan completely disappeared. Other than the faint purple light, there was only the corridor beneath Guhan's feet, with no end in sight.
It was a corridor that could only allow three people to walk side by side. It was very narrow. Additionally, there were no railings on either side of the corridor. One wrong step and they would fall into the bottomless abyss on either side of the corridor.
Standing in the corridor, Guhan had once gazed deeply into the bottomless abyss on either side of the corridor. As a result, Guhan felt an immense fear that he had not felt ever since he became a sword-bearer … … it was a fear that seemed capable of devouring Guhan. Only when Guhan turned his gaze away from the bottomless abyss and returned it to the corridor beneath his feet did Guhan break free from that fear.
"Qingpin!
Douyu!
Heavenly Reliance! "
Gu Han began to call out the names of his swordmaidens, attempting to free them from their state of being swordmaidens. But what caused Gu Han to feel despair was that in this Seamless Corridor, his connection with his swordmaidens had been completely severed.
Although his Zifu and sword scars were still there, the consciousness of his sword maidens had disappeared without a trace after entering the Seamless Corridor. It was as though they had never existed in the first place.
At present, Guhan was truly alone.
