Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Two lines are slightly thin, like fingers.

One line is extremely thick, like an adult’s arm.

Those six extremely sturdy cause and effect lines converge above the seven people’s heads, twisted and intertwined, forming a shockingly large pillar of cause and effect!

The Supreme Elder understood in his heart, this is the cause and effect... pillar that relates to Lu Wenwu!

”Such massive cause and effect, how astonishing is this...”

He murmured in his heart, his figure lifted by an invisible force, slowly rising into the air above the seven.

With the Turtle Shell glowing brightly behind him, the Supreme Elder, who resembled the Turtle Immortal, surprisingly straightened his back slowly at this moment, and his robes fluttered without any wind, making a rustling sound.

His withered right hand reached out, gently touching the cause and effect line that belonged to Lu Wenwu, cautiously tracing it backward using the power of the Mythical Level Turtle Shell, conducting a deduction.

This process proceeded extremely slowly.

Not because this Supreme Elder was inept, but just because Lu Wenwu was like a hedgehog covered with nuclear bombs, touch him and risk being obliterated in an instant.

The Grand Elder’s death was fresh in his memory.

He had to be careful.

If carelessly touched upon the cause and effect of the Great Power behind Lu Wenwu, he didn’t have enough lifespan to compensate for a Heavenly Sentence, he would be killed instantly.

Chasing backward against the flow of cause and effect, the Supreme Elder began to see some blurred glimpses.

However, these glimpses seemed shrouded behind a layer of obscure black cloth, concealing any foreign probing gaze.

At that time, Lu Wenwu had not yet obtained the Destiny Jade Pendant.

But, the major cause and effect attached to him were numerous and terrifying, even the mere naturally emitted ”aura” was enough to become the doom for the majority of Divinationists.

Without the aid of the Turtle Shell, this Mythical Treasure, the Supreme Elder might not even be able to trace these blurred glimpses.

Just like the Grand Elder who calculated his death directly.

Back then, even if Gulu hadn’t intervened, he was already doomed.

”Indeed, possessing a tool that blocks cause and effect destiny, fortunate that the old man was prepared.”

A slight smile appeared on the Supreme Elder’s aged face, lightly biting the tip of his tongue, he suddenly sprayed a mouthful of vital essence, his whole body instantly weakened.

This mouthful cost him at least fifty years of lifespan.

Just to break through once Lu Wenwu’s unintentional cause and effect defense, smoothly tracing backward deduction.

The vital essence exploded like fireworks before him.

The giant Turtle Shell rose into the air, emitting a low and deep buzzing sound.

The black cloth seemed to encounter its nemesis, melted like ice and snow by the misted blood, slowly revealing Lu Wenwu’s true cause and effect destiny line.

However, although the cause and effect protection was initially breached, the Supreme Elder still dared not casually trace backward.

Too many cause and effect lines extended from Lu Wenwu, too many branches.

Who knew which one would connect with a terrifying Great Power?

The Supreme Elder did not wish to end up like the previous Grand Elder, who calculated an address only to lose himself.

Therefore, he was extremely cautious at this moment.

See no evil, hear no evil.

Focusing all attention on finding the intersecting line of destiny between the ”Dragon Hunting Squad” and Lu Wenwu.

”Egg pancake...”

”Imperial City...”

”Exclusive community...”

”Liaison Liu Ming...”

”Hmm? What’s this?”

While the Supreme Elder continued tracing backward along the deduced path, he suddenly saw something he had never seen before.

Before him was a wall.

The height of this tall wall reached the heavens and the earth, its width seemed endless.

Even from the unique perspective of fate, it stretched out of sight.

Looking closely, faint patterns seemed to be circling intricately on the black wall, unknown what they were.

”Is this some defensive mechanism left by certain Great Powers?”

The Supreme Elder frowned slightly.

He hated variables.

Especially when unknown variables appeared under such tense circumstances, things he’d never seen before emerged.

Calculating slightly, it seemed he deduced he had taken a wrong path, the Supreme Elder withdrew from this branch, continuing the correct direction of tracing backward.

Today, the bizarre occurrences seemed exceptionally abundant.

After seeing the ”Black Wall” once, he saw it another seven times in succession, finally finding the entanglement point of destiny and calculating the correct location of contact.

”In a month, outside the north Sixth Ring of the Imperial City... south side of the Fourth Safe Zone... northern end of Beitian Road... opposite the main gate of Lijing Community.”

The Supreme Elder spoke in a deep voice, precisely reporting the time and place.

The process was so smooth that even he found it somewhat unbelievable.

The Supreme Elder rubbed his sore and tense eyes, rubbed his temples with his fingers, feeling very tired, both physically and mentally exhausted.

The divination this time consumed an enormous amount of energy.

After confirming there were no mistakes, he took a distant glance at the Black Wall standing afar and quickly withdrew from the perspective of destiny.

Hanging in this perspective, every second of lifespan was slipping away.

The Supreme Elder didn’t have much lifespan left and didn’t dare to waste any.

As his eyes returned to normal, the heavy turtle shell crashed to the ground with a ”boom,” making a noticeable ”crack” sound on the altar floor.

It seemed the ground was unable to bear the weight and shattered.

The Supreme Elder slowly descended, yawning a bit out of fatigue.

”Did you all remember what I just said? For this divination, I have spent nearly a hundred years of my lifespan.”

”We have remembered. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ku.”

The Ascension to Divinity tier Transcendent in the Dragon Hunting Squad replied.

”Then leave on your own. Someone will erase your last entanglement of cause and effect with me and the Military Lord, and you will forget everything about the Salvation Resistance Army.”

The Supreme Elder, resembling the Turtle Immortal, leaned on his cane and returned to the altar, sitting cross-legged in front of the turtle shell, feeling his eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

This time, the loss of lifespan was too severe; he couldn’t hold on anymore.

The decaying body was almost unable to suppress the withering of the soul and needed to sleep for a period to recover.

This was a chamber specially designed for divination. Without having to leave, the effect of the turtle shell nurturing the soul was the best.

As soon as he sat down, the Supreme Elder leaned against the turtle shell and entered a special sleep state.

The others didn’t say much, bowed to him, and filed out one by one, closing the door of the chamber again.

Outside the door, seeing the few individuals walk out with determined expressions, the Military Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Supreme Elder’s Life Lamp intact.

”How is Withered Supreme?”

”The deduction was successful, but Fellow Daoist Ku has spent nearly a hundred years of lifespan and has entered sleep to begin nurturing the soul,” said the Ascension to Divinity tier member of the Dragon Hunting Squad.

”A hundred years...”

The Military Lord sighed deeply.

”Come with me. Once your last cause and effect with the Salvation Resistance Army is erased, you can set out.”

”Hopefully... everything goes smoothly.”

”For Blue Star!” the seven said in unison.

As they departed, heavy security doors closed, the array activated, and the place returned to its usual silence.

In the chamber, Withered Supreme only felt himself particularly exhausted this time.

In his slumber, he seemed to have a dream.

This was quite a surprising thing for him.

Since becoming a Transcendent and stepping onto the path of divination, he hadn’t dreamed for a very, very long time.

In the dream, he seemed to be traveling in a fantastical and wondrous place, flying freely in the sky.

Even more oddly, he seemed to once again see the eerie Black Wall that he had seen previously.

As it was in his own dream, Withered Supreme curiously flew over, preparing to scrutinize what this Black Wall actually was.

The Black Wall stretched from heaven to earth, like a celestial chasm, dividing the world into two parts.

He exerted all his strength to propel his body upwards, soaring like this.

After an unknown amount of time, it seemed like Withered Supreme finally reached the top of the Black Wall.

The appearance at the top was even more peculiar.

It turned out to be two equally enormous Black Walls slanting upwards on either side, forming an extremely wide gorge in the center.

Upon reaching this peculiar feature of the Black Wall, Withered Supreme suddenly felt his body becoming heavy and weary again.

Even in the dream, an extreme fatigue was troubling him, forcing him to interrupt his dream.

Just before he fell asleep again in the dream, a strange thought suddenly emerged in Withered Supreme’s mind.

Could this Black Wall... be an immensely thick cause and effect line?

It shouldn’t... right?

No one noticed that inside the massive turtle shell above the chamber’s altar was a shocking crack, nearly splitting the turtle shell into two halves.
