Chapter 477: Seal of the Spire
As the pink swimming ring explained this, it began to sing.
“Super Dimensional world, Super Dimensional world, the world desired by many!”
“There are countless beauties here, World Layer-famous celebrities, unimaginably wondrous liquor, untold civilizations and powers”
“Come forward, come forward, come to Angel Port—— Angels have banned me because I’m too lecherous!”
“Come forward, come forward, come to Devil Town—– Devils kicked me out, saying that I’m not bad enough!”
“But that is fine, there are more Super Dimensional worlds to see”
“Let us go on an adventure!”
The theme of the song seems to be about exploring the Super Dimensional worlds, and the ring was quite a good singer as well.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help his curiosity and asked: “You said there are a lot of Super Dimensional worlds, then which one are we going to?”
“…”
The pink swimming ring stopped.
“You don’t know either?” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.
“Only my master would know such a thing” the pink swimming ring answered him irritated.
It removed itself from Gu Qing Shan and turned into a key.
“Stick me into the void of s.p.a.ce” the key said.
“Into it?”
“Yeah, we’re currently in the world’s disguise dimension, you have to enter the true dimension before getting the chance to go to the Super Dimensional world” the key said.
“Ah”
Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.
He had seen too many strange things to feel surprised anymore.
Gu Qing Shan then took the key and stuck it into the void of s.p.a.ce.
“Turn me left, 2.5 rounds”
“Alright”
Gu Qing Shan turned the key.
Ripples began to appear in the void of s.p.a.ce.
As the ripples spread, the scenery around began to reveal itself.
Gu Qing Shan found himself still standing in the middle of the ocean.
However, a bit further away, there was a lighthouse that appeared out of nowhere.
It was a black lighthouse that gave off really blinding light, periodically scanning the ocean all around.
As Gu Qing Shan carefully looked at it, he found that there was a blurred figure moving about at the top of the lighthouse.
The black lighthouse silently stood there.
“How familiar, I think I’ve seen it somewhere before” Gu Qing Shan muttered.
“You’ve seen it before? That’s not possible” the swimming dismissed it.
“Why is it impossible?”
“This is the Spire Keeper a.s.sociation’s unique structure, as the connection of all Super Dimensional worlds are done by them”
“They might not be the most powerful, but they definitely know the deepest level of secrets!”
“They’re that impressive?”
“Yep, that’s why a visitor from a Scattered world like yourself couldn’t possibly have heard of them”
While they talked, a scroll jumped out from Gu Qing Shan.
The compa.s.s.
It was pointing to the lighthouse this time.
“Stop lolly-gagging and go, otherwise we won’t make it in time” the compa.s.s loudly complained.
“Shut up! Before going, we need to disguise his personal strength!” the pink swimming ring spoke.
“Why?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“First principle of the infinite worlds: Even if you are the strongest man alive, you can’t let anyone find out about your background”
“What happens if they find out?”
“There are over 900 million World Layers, quadrillions zillion living beings, too many civilizations and inheritance to count, one of them might be your natural enemy that perfectly counters your everything”
“Understood” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
While they were talking, another scroll had jumped out and dispersed into curve disks that moved around to surround Gu Qing Shan.
The disks disappeared into the void of s.p.a.ce.
After a few moments, a mystical presence formed around Gu Qing Shan.
This presence was able to stop attempts at probing him to a certain degree.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the War G.o.d UI.
A line of glowing text scrolled past it.
[Power Concealment s.h.i.+eld. High-ranked concealment device. Duration: 3 days]
Gu Qing Shan then tried heading for the lighthouse.
But something was wrong with s.p.a.ce around him.
While he was clearly moving forward, it was also clear that he only stayed in place without being able to advance a single step.
The pink swimming ring laughed.
“You’re not a guest with an appointment, so of course you aren’t able to get there”
Saying so, it turned into a pink surfboard and appeared at Gu Qing Shan’s feet.
“Here, you need me to guide you to bypa.s.s the spatial limitations”
“Fine” Gu Qing Shan had nothing else to say.
He stood on the surfboard.
The surfboard then began to dash forward on the water, heading to the lighthouse.
As they got closer, the lighthouse gradually became clearer to him.
Gu Qing Shan noticed a small door at the bottom of the lighthouse.
The surfboard was fast, so Gu Qing Shan was in front of the door not too long later.
Quite a few people were already waiting here.
They stood in various groups, and they all appeared to be quite excited.
Gu Qing Shan silently took notice of them, but found that he wasn’t able to understand their language at all.
They were speaking in their own language, paying no mind or disturbing any of the other groups.
—–not just their language, he couldn’t even make out their appearance.
They all appeared as black cutouts, the only thing he could see was their silhouette while their true appearance was blacked out.
“Don’t think too much, these are the folks who had no authority to go to a Super Dimensional world, they’re only here to satisfy their curiosity” the pink swimming ring told him.
It had already turned back into a swimming ring.
“Why are their appearance obscured and blacked out?” Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice.
“Because these people only found this world by chance, they weren’t accepted inside by the Spire, so they can only use spatial projections to watch”
“What about me? Am I the same?”
“Of course not” a scroll answered him.
This scroll jumped out of Gu Qing Shan and slowly unwind itself.
Unfamiliar characters were written all over the scroll, with various thumb prints and stamps all over.
At first glance, this seemed like a certificate of some kind.
As soon as the scroll appeared, sounds of surprise and admiration could be heard from around.
The certificate cleared it throat and spoke loudly: “Er-hem, sir Keeper, please grant me and the boy here pa.s.sage into the Spire”
Following its call, the gate in front of the lighthouse opened.
An old man wearing a purple trench coat and a pointy top hat came out.
The gathered people all made way for him.
Everyone became silent with their gazes locked onto the old man as no one said a single word.
The old man walked in front of Gu Qing Shan, received the certificate and started checking it solemnly.
“Hm, quite decent, 39 nominations for abroad studies”
Saying so, the old man looked at Gu Qing Shan: “You can go to the specified Super Dimensional world one more time”
“Thank you” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Follow me” the old man returned the scroll to Gu Qing Shan and quickly returned inside.
While walking, he muttered: “An unexpected guest, luckily there’s quite a few empty seats this time around”
Gu Qing Shan followed the old man through the gate.
Bamph!
The gate closed behind him.
Various exclaims of admiration could be heard outside.
In the dark, the old man clapped his hand.
A few flames lit up, illuminating the s.p.a.ce around him.
“Before boarding the s.h.i.+p, please let me check if you brought any dangerous items with you” the old man lazily spoke.
Dangerous items?
Gu Qing Shan tried to think.
I don’t think I brought anything dangerous at all.
“Please go ahead” he said.
Seeing his reaction, the old man’s expression also loosened a bit.
“The light of knowledge” the old man whispered.
One of the flames turned into a ball of warm light, s.h.i.+ning onto Gu Qing Shan.
At first, nothing happened.
While both the old man and Gu Qing Shan were calming down, a metal seal jumped out, showing itself to the ball of light.
All the light centered into a beam, s.h.i.+ning at the seal.
The insignia depicted on the seal began to s.h.i.+ne brightly as it was lit up.
It was a dark, tall spire, standing tall in the middle of a red plains.
