The Void Deity was sent flying by the blinding pillar of light from Cannon Brother .
The large hole in the void of space that the king had broken through with his scepter finally closed up .
Everyone waited for a few seconds .
Nothing happened .
Obviously, that Void Deity had no way to break through this isolated barrier on its own .
Everyone sighed in relief at the same time .
“We managed to escape with our lives” Boss calmly commented .
Laura patted her chest: “If it had made it in here, we would have died without any doubt, right?”
“Naturally” Boss calmly replied .
“We were all very nervous, so why do you seem so calm? Did you have something else prepared?” Laura questioned him .
“There weren’t any preparations at all, I’m simply used to seeing grand sights, so I won’t be easily affected by matters of this degree” Boss calmly explained .
Saying so, he headed towards the water fountain first .
——-the black cat seemed to be pointing straight at this intact and luxurious water fountain earlier .
“What an impressive person”
Laura looked at his overall visage and said in admiration .
Zhang Ying Hao pointed at his back .
Boss’ clothes had thoroughly been soaked by his cold sweat, sticking closely to him and revealing every last muscle on his back .
—–he was clearly still shaken .
Everyone: “…”
Gu Qing Shan declared: “Alright, let us go over and take a look as well”
So everyone went forward together and carefully observed the water fountain .
A crystal-clear stream of water was trickling down the steps of the fountain .
The circumference of the entire fountain could be circled with 30 people’s arm length, a life-like and animated mermaid statue stood at the very center of it all .
The mermaid was smiling while raising a trident in her hands .
The water was flowing from the tip of the trident .
As he reached this place, the king slowly closed his eyes and muttered: 「 Ah, I know of this place, in my head, this place was left over by the God of Life…」
His voice slowly turned faint, clearly unsealing another memory .
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him, then at Boss: “Did you notice anything?”
Boss looked over the mermaid statue and shook his head: “It’s been too long, I have no way to figure out, let alone assess the current situation of this place . We can only wait until his memory unseals itself”
Gu Qing Shan sighed: “That’s true, the place we were at before had already been turned into the base of a Void Deity, who knows what kind of place this had become?”
Everyone had no choice but silently stand still and wait .
At this point, a deep voice sounded from Zhang Ying Hao’s shoulder:
[Place me on the ground]
“Yes, Cannon Brother”
Zhang Ying Hao carefully placed the shoulder-mounted cannon on the ground .
Cannon Brother spoke: [You’re a decent kid, and a hitman that has his own style . That’s why I helped you unleash just one shot . Otherwise, it would ruin my street cred]
“Yes” Zhang Ying Hao nodded respectfully .
Cannon Brother continued: [According to the rules that I set up, I can only help you once before I leave——– now, call your handgun, I need to have a little talk with it]
Zhang Ying Hao took his assault handgun out .
“Greetings, Cannon Brother” assault handgun respectfully said .
Cannon Brother’s deep voice sounded again: [I’ve heard of you . You used to be an automatic machine gun with talents that far surpassed any weapons . Your path was open, your potential limitless . Unfortunately, you didn’t know to treasure it, wasting your days on flowering shrubs and making merry . When you finally ran into a hard rock, you stumbled and lost to the point that you couldn’t even save your body]
“…Cannon Brother is right . I’ve been very ashamed of myself”
[Hm, I’ve been watching over you for the past while . You are constantly training your abilities and had become a thoroughly changed gun, that’s why, before I return, I’ll give you a hand]
Clak clak clak—–
With a slight noise, the entire shoulder-mounted cannon broke apart into numerous parts on the ground .
Cannon Brother’s voice sounded again: [I’ll leave these parts here for you . You had better think carefully about your path and perhaps find a new one]
Assault handgun practically cried out: “Thank you Cannon Brother for giving me a chance, I’ll definitely do my best”
[Little handgun, from now on, don’t shout so loudly when you attack, it’s very shameful, got it?]
“Ah, yes, Cannon Brother”
[Good . I’m going back to Gramps Bullet, quite a few newbie young’uns that do not know any better have been trying to steal our spot, I have to give him a hand]
“Cannon Brother, I want to work under you from now on”
[Hak…]
With a single chuckle, Cannon Brother went thoroughly quiet .
“He left” Zhang Ying Hao commented .
“Hm, that’s right”
Assault handgun jumped down from Zhang Ying Hao’s hand and landed among the parts .
“In the past, I used to be a young’un weapon who had no rivals in any technological worlds, but now look at me——-”
“I want to kill that guy! I want to use its blood to clear my name!”
With a loud shout, assault handgun broke apart into numerous pieces and scattered .
Something miraculous happened .
The parts that belonged to assault handgun and Cannon Brother started to merge together, automatically assembling with a series of loud metallic noises .
The gun parts almost seemed alive, constantly coming together, but would quickly scatter again whenever they were about to take shape, seemingly hesitant .
Zhang Ying Hao silently watched this, then suddenly spoke up: “If you want to take revenge, you must have the power to break through the toughest defense”
All the moving parts paused .
Clak clak clak clak clak clak!
An even more intense song of metallic noises resounded .
They seemed to have found a way, quickly merging together at breakneck speed, displaying both determination and resolve .
The parts were no longer scattered after they fused together .
A few moments later, all the parts had disappeared from the ground .
There was now a sniper rifle there .
This was a light-weight sniper rifle, despite seeming a bit simplistic and mobility-focused, it exuded a sharp sense of frigid killing intent .
The light-weight rifle returned to Zhang Ying Hao’s hands and spoke up: “I’ve just reconstructed myself, I need some time to rest”
And then there was no longer any sound .
Zhang Ying Hao put the rifle away with a clear joyful look on his face .
“Congratulations, your gun will gradually become stronger” Laura praised .
Gu Qing Shan and Boss also nodded with smiles on their faces .
After a while more, the king suddenly opened his eyes .
「 Ah… I understand now, this place itself is a Causality lifeform that the God of Life prepared for their holy country, she will help me triumph against all enemies! 」the king excitedly said .
He began walking around the fountain while chanting an incantation .
He circled around the water fountain again and again .
Time slowly passed .
Once the king had circled around the fountain over a dozen times, he returned to the front of the group and grandly declared towards the mermaid in the fountain:
「 Awaken, servant of the God of Life, lady Tide Caller, I need you to help me win against the enemy of our Deity! 」
After saying so, the king cut open his finger and dripped his blood into the fountain .
「 I am an extension of the God of Life, a descendant of the Deity, you must show yourself before me 」the king chanted in a low voice .
Hearing that, everyone else couldn’t help but exchange glances .
It turns out that the royal family of Calming Soul Country were the descendants of the God of Life .
If that’s the case——-
It made sense why the God of Life didn’t escape the Inner Plane’s destruction by themselves and instead brought their entire holy country with them .
This was most likely the case for all 7 Deities, in order to establish a safe haven for their descendants, they had no choice but to struggle and fight against the monsters within the space vortex .
While everyone was thinking that, the mermaid statue inside the foundation began to emanate a holy light .
The grey color of stone slowly retreated from the statue as it regained motion .
Sensing something, Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to observe the mermaid’s eyes .
Only to find out that her eyes were clearly observing them!
