Chapter 342: The Gateway
Chapter 342: The Gateway
The decision to stay or leave wasn't a particularly difficult choice.
Lu Wuzai had made up his mind the moment he chose to feign death.
"Let Aunt Zhang decide."
"Then let's leave. Where to go is up to you."
As Zhang Yunyi nodded, he casually handed Lu Wuzai a phone and a necklace.
"Inside the phone is a map of the current world, methods to reach various zones, and some resource points I know of.
Also, here are the documents I promised you.
And this necklace is a random teleportation item, with only three uses left. Use it sparingly."
"From now on, let's try to avoid contact." Zhang Yunyi said as he handed over the items, not lingering for long.
He quickly departed.
After Zhang Yunyi left, Lu Wuzai focused on the two items in his hand.
He examined them to ensure they were in good condition before opening the phone first.
At this moment, Lu Wuzai didn't look at the map but instead, the additional information Zhang Yunyi had provided.
These so-called documents were actually about Old Lin, Lu HaiKong's past, and the Gateway.
Initially, Lu Wuzai hadn't planned to delve into these matters.
But now that things had progressed this far, he could no longer turn a blind eye to them.
He ought to know how he had ended up in a situation where he needed to feign death to escape.
The first document Zhang Yunyi provided was about Lu HaiKong's past.
"Lu HaiKong, male, 67 years old, from Quan Cheng in the Southeast.
At 18, he summoned his first summoned beast, a Little Skull, and became a Summoner...
..."
Lu Wuzai was surprised.
His old man had also started out as a Failure Stream Summoner.
From 18 to 20 years old, his life was unremarkable, and he didn't even consider pursuing the path of a Summoner.
It wasn't until he turned 20, when a major Summoned Beast Disaster struck Quan Cheng, that Lu HaiKong's life trajectory changed completely.
During that disaster, he lost his summoned beast and partner but seemed to gain some kind of fortuitous encounter.
From then on, Lu HaiKong's strength skyrocketed.
A month later, he was specially recruited into Jiangning University, which was then a fourth-rate school. It was Lu HaiKong who pioneered the 'Study Abroad' system, thoroughly dominating and humiliating Summoners across Zone 1.
This humiliation earned Lu HaiKong the reputation of being the first genius, and it elevated Jiangning University to the ranks of top-tier universities.
Zhang Yunyi made a note here, mentioning that during this phase, Lu HaiKong was a steel man.
After becoming powerful, Lu HaiKong shifted his focus to investigating the truth behind the Quan Cheng Beast Tide. After many twists and turns, he uncovered the reality behind the Beast Tide.
He then attempted to single-handedly destroy the Summoned Beast forces responsible for the Beast Tide, but his strength at the time fell just short, and he nearly got humiliated. It was only after Xing Zhanlong's father intervened that Lu Wuzai's life was saved.
Zhang Yunyi added another note here, 'Lu HaiKong was deeply moved, and a few years later, he slept with Xing Zhanlong's sister.'
Lu Wuzai's face reddened as he read this.
His old man was truly shameless.
As he continued reading, he came across a typical dragon-like protagonist's story. Lu HaiKong secluded himself for cultivation for a few years, and after mastering his divine skill, he emerged just as a Summoned Beast force was causing trouble, launching a Beast Tide to attack the coastal cities of Zone 1.
At this critical moment, the old man made a powerful entrance, single-handedly wiping out the entire Beast Tide.
This battle marked his pinnacle.
Through this battle, he became a hero of that time.
However, it was also after this battle that he seemed to become a different person. The steel man was gone, replaced by a Casanova who flirted with every girl he met.
Over the course of three to five years, no one knew how many women he had charmed or how many times he had been beaten up by the Casanovas.
Just when everyone thought this guy would either live as a Casanova or be beaten to death, he suddenly disappeared without a trace twenty-three years ago.
He never showed his face again, and it seemed that someone was secretly erasing any trace of his existence without making a fuss.
This situation continued until Li Wu appeared.
The information Zhang Yunyi provided about Lu HaiKong was quite objective.
He wrote about it in a straightforward manner, using only a thousand or two words.
She didn't offer any personal evaluation of Lu HaiKong's life nor did she make any unnecessary speculations.
On Li Wu's end, after reading the information about Lu HaiKong, he furrowed his brows slightly.
"Why did this old man go from being a steel man to a Casanova?
Did he lie to me before?
Did he use the method of flirting with 99 girls as a price to resurrect my mom?"
In a 69 book bar, a mistake-free version!
Li Wu found it hard to believe.
Could there really be a way to save people by flirting with girls?
"Regardless of whether this old man's method is real or fake, it's clear that my mom has been resurrected.
He must have used some method to bring her back.
Judging by his recent expressions, he definitely paid a price to resurrect my mom.
I really want to know how he brought my mom back, and what price did he pay?
Also, how did this guy offend so many people?
It seems like both the law enforcement and criminal worlds want him dead!"
Li Wu's confusion was furthered by the information Zhang Yunyi left about Old Lin and the Gateway.
Zhang Yunyi briefly shared the intelligence she had on Old Lin.
It was basically the same as what Li Wu already knew.
Old Lin held the secret of the Gateway, which originally belonged to Kong Yi and his Zero Organization, and it seemed that someone from the Council of Elders had also intervened.
From the current situation, Old Lin was likely not dead, but if nothing unexpected happened, he should no longer be in Zone 1.
This was the extent of Zhang Yunyi's knowledge about Old Lin.
There wasn't much more, as Zhang Yunyi's information was similar to what Li Wu already knew, so he wasn't too surprised. However, the message Zhang Yunyi left about the Gateway completely stunned Li Wu.
According to Zhang Yunyi's instructions, the Gateway was the truth behind the Cataclysm and a force that could change the world! The first record of the Gateway was before the Cataclysm, when it appeared intact and abruptly on the First Peak.
The powerful energy it emitted caught the attention of various organizations.
Research teams from different groups conducted comprehensive investigations on the Gateway, but years went by without any results.
Just when countries were about to forget about it, the Gateway was accidentally activated by a researcher.
The activated Gateway granted the researcher three wishes.
At the time, the researcher thought it was a prank and casually made three wishes to the Gateway.
The first wish was for a world without deadly hot weapons, bringing peace.
The second wish was for a world with more fantasy elements, like the myths with angels, monsters, and incredible powers.
The third wish was for more mini-worlds, with additional space to alleviate potential future population issues.
After the three wishes were made, the Gateway glowed.
The outermost stones shattered, and the inner Jade Gate disappeared.
From that moment on, the world was turned upside down!
