Chapter 994 - 20: Waterworld
"There definitely are gods." Qu Liufeng’s voice became serious, "I didn’t believe it at first either. But after I thoroughly researched the records of our ancestors, along with some folk accounts from that time, it seems to be true. When our ancestors encountered danger, it was the gods who saved them. And not just once." Qu Liufeng’s tone was very certain.
"Is it that huge moving fortress recorded in the accounts?" Qu Ruiqing was full of curiosity and anticipation.
"Yes, according to the records, it was encountered in this area. We are going here to search for it. I think the gods will know we’re looking for her, and then she will meet us." Qu Liufeng speculated.
"Then, why do you think the gods don’t intervene in this world? Why let this world develop in such a pathological way?" Qu Ruiqing gently bit her lip and asked in a low voice.
"This question, I think, we can ask the gods face-to-face." Qu Liufeng also wanted to know the answer to this question. What were the gods thinking?
After flying for more than five hours, Qu Liufeng and Qu Ruiqing arrived at the area recorded in the history books. It was still a swamp, unchanged since the floodwaters receded.
Looking at the darkened swamp below, Qu Ruiqing furrowed her brows, "Will the gods still appear here? How can there be a fortress able to stay here?"
The light on top of Bai Bao began to flash, as if deep in thought.
Qu Ruiqing piloted the airship, circling the area for a while to confirm there was no moving fortress, feeling a bit skeptical. Are there really gods? Was it the ancestors’ hallucination at the time, or were they looking forward to the future, thus crafting a story about gods?
At this moment, Qu Liufeng suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Little girl, look there, look there!"
Qu Ruiqing turned her head to look in the other direction and was stunned to find a gigantic warship suddenly appearing above the swamp. Yes, floating above the swamp! Could it be that there truly are gods?
"Go, go, go!" Before Qu Ruiqing could speak, Qu Liufeng was already swiftly piloting the airship towards the warship.
The airship landed steadily on the deck of the gigantic warship.
Qu Ruiqing opened the cabin door and slowly stepped out of the airship, looking at the colossal warship, speechless with astonishment. Even the Empire has no such gigantic warship.
The surroundings were very quiet, not a hint of human presence.
Bai Bao flew ahead, heading towards the main cabin.
When it reached the entrance, it stopped.
"Little girl, come and see, am I blind? Oh, although technically I don’t have eyes anymore. Is there a problem with Bai Bao’s scanner? Otherwise, how do I see such a miraculous couplet? And this golden ingot at the door, is it real gold? It doesn’t fit with the surroundings at all, does it?" Qu Liufeng called to the dazed Qu Ruiqing, exclaiming loudly.
Qu Ruiqing came over, looking at the scene in front of her, also stunned.
What is this?
Such a huge golden ingot?
Qu Ruiqing couldn’t help but touch it: "Wow! This feeling, it has such texture."
"Because it’s made of real gold." Qu Liufeng circled the massive golden ingot a few times, analyzed the composition, and asserted, "Pure gold!"
"Is this really the place where gods reside?" Qu Ruiqing questioned, doubtful. Are there such gods?
Everything exists.
And this strange couplet.
Left couplet: Credit available, honesty for all ages
Right couplet: Repay on time or face my wrath
