Chapter 1029: Chapter 782: Conveying the Message

"Something big has happened? What happened?"

Qin An was slightly taken aback, then strode quickly to the door and opened it.

He saw the old eunuch standing at the doorway, anxiously glancing left and right. Clearly, something major had occurred to make the old eunuch this flustered.

And when the old eunuch saw Qin An, he let out a breath of relief and said,

"Mr. Qin, you’ve finally come out. Your Majesty told me to hurry over and find you. He said something has happened that’s enough to plunge the entire Daqian Kingdom into turmoil. You must come over so he can discuss how to handle it, otherwise even he can’t decide on a concrete course of action."

Qin An’s brows furrowed even tighter.

He hadn’t sensed anything happening, so why would Emperor Xuanwu be summoning him?

That left him deeply puzzled.

But puzzlement was puzzlement; Qin An didn’t waste words. After telling the old eunuch to go on ahead, he tidied up briefly, then headed toward the place where Emperor Xuanwu was.

When he arrived at the Imperial Study, it was utterly quiet inside. Only Emperor Xuanwu was seated within, tapping anxiously on the desk.

As the ruler of the entire Daqian Kingdom, the master of all under heaven, Emperor Xuanwu rarely showed his emotions at any time. Yet this small gesture at this very moment betrayed his mood.

Upon hearing the sound of the door, Emperor Xuanwu immediately saw Qin An. He pointed to the seat opposite him and said,

"Sit. Something major has occurred. Once you’ve sat down, we’ll talk it through in detail."

Qin An gave a slight nod and, without extra chatter, sat opposite Emperor Xuanwu, waiting for him to continue.

After pausing briefly, Emperor Xuanwu took a sheet of paper from the drawer beside him and slid it across the desk to Qin An.

Qin An was slightly stunned. When he unfolded the paper, he found a line of script he couldn’t understand written on it.

Those characters definitely did not belong to the world where the Daqian Kingdom resided.

Qin An speculated that they should be from some other world.

"Is it from the world destroyed by the Heavenly Demon, or the world where the Heavenly Demon resides?"

Qin An asked aloud.

Since he couldn’t make sense of it, he might as well ask directly. After all, Emperor Xuanwu had summoned him here, so he was bound to explain.

Emperor Xuanwu shook his head and said, "You’re wrong. In fact, it’s neither. The content on this sheet comes from that Mysterious World we’re in contact with. Just now, I sensed something out of place, as if some presence had descended upon the Capital City of Daqian Kingdom."

"So I searched this place thoroughly and finally discovered this sheet of paper in a corner of the Imperial Palace. The aura on the paper was very dense at first, and it was precisely the aura of that Mysterious World. It’s only because time has passed that the aura has gradually faded. By the time you arrived, you can’t sense it anymore."

On hearing this, Qin An’s brows knit tightly together.

He scrutinized the sheet carefully and found the contents completely incomprehensible.

Because the script on this paper truly did not belong to the writing of the Daqian Kingdom, even if he wanted to decipher it, there was no way to break it open.

However, since Emperor Xuanwu had sensed it before him, he must have noticed something abnormal.

Thus Qin An did not prattle on. He set the letter down and looked at Emperor Xuanwu patiently, waiting for him to continue.

Emperor Xuanwu also knew the situation was urgent and didn’t waste a single word. After only a brief pause, he spoke in detail.

"Because the aura on it has dispersed, you can no longer sense the content above. But the instant I took this sheet into my hand, I felt something out of the ordinary."

"Though the content itself can’t be read, it can be transmitted into the depths of one’s mind through a special power, and through that inner perception one can sense the existence of this message."

"The message is simple: it tells us we must be fully prepared before entering that Mysterious World again, because that Giant King we met back then is already planning to move against us."

"As for how he intends to deal with us specifically, it seems he’s trying to rally the alliance of his world and plans to carry out our eradication."

When Emperor Xuanwu said this, a trace of worry showed between his brows.

He could not help but worry, for the current situation was far too delicate for him, and it left him with a hard-to-describe sense of helplessness.

Only after witnessing the terror of the Giant King personally could one understand what kind of foe they were truly facing.

Qin An rubbed his chin, sinking into thought.

A moment later, he asked,

"Your Majesty, can you sense how long it will be before we merge with that Mysterious World?"

The information received today was indeed weighty enough for Qin An to take seriously.

After all, the pressure that Giant King exerted on him was truly terrifying.

Even though Qin An had now reached Perfection in the Selfless Realm, if he really had to fight the Giant King, he wasn’t certain he could win.

Therefore, what Qin An wanted to know now was precisely when their worlds would undergo Fusion.

Only then could he make the most comprehensive plans within the limited time remaining.

Emperor Xuanwu shook his head and said, "I don’t know either. That’s exactly why I called you over. Should we try to communicate with the power of the Selfless Realm, spreading that power beneath the sky? Perhaps by using this principle, we can deduce a more concrete timeframe."

The principle itself was actually quite simple: after reaching the Selfless Realm, one could use a special method of communication to sense that Mysterious World.
