Chapter 2052 - 1624: In a World Where Looks Matter, There’s No Hope!

Ripple after ripple of water waves continually rippled outward, and in the blink of an eye, they swept the area where Gu Changsheng was standing!

Gu Changsheng only felt a lightness beneath his feet, and then, he only had time to let out a startled cry before he plummeted downward!

"Ah!"

Even though Gu Changsheng’s cry of surprise came so abruptly and the speed of descent was so fast, Zhou Mu, who was walking a step ahead of Gu Changsheng, turned around at the sound, only to see an empty space behind him...

Gu Changsheng...

Was gone!

So abruptly, without any warning, vanished among their group!

"Changsheng!"

Zhou Mu exclaimed, quickly returning, but there was nothing but empty air beneath his feet, still suspended, with no trace of Gu Changsheng to be seen!

"Godfather! What happened? Where’s Gu Changsheng?" Baby Jin Bao was also confused, feeling rather out of sorts!

"Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng?" Shi Wujue’s world-shaking face went almost instantly as pale as snow, retreating in a few quick steps to Zhou Mu’s side. The two of them almost simultaneously leaned over the spot where Gu Changsheng had fallen!

Beneath their feet, nothing but empty air, they could faintly see the misty expanse under the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, with no sign of a person?

"Changsheng! Changsheng!" At this moment, Zhou Mu’s heart was breaking. He didn’t know what had happened, nor did he know how it had happened, clearly all of them were fine, but out of everyone, his little woman was the one in trouble!

Could it really, just like she said, be that crossing this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms tests not courage but one’s face?

Although these words were Gu Changsheng’s self-mockery, only Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue knew that on this journey northward, only Gu Changsheng, only Gu Changsheng, was special!

She was the one with an inexplicable bond to the end of the Ancient Wilderness Times!

In Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s minds, they unconsciously thought of the Goddess Venerable who appeared at the end of the Ancient Wilderness Times, the one who turned the tide...

Why exactly?

Why was it Gu Changsheng?

Why was it she, specifically she, who had to endure hardships that others had not?

"Changsheng! Changsheng! Jin Bao, tell me, what is this all about? Where did Changsheng go? What is beneath this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms?" Zhou Mu asked almost uncontrollably, in a low roar.

Shi Wujue also turned his head and looked at Baby Jin Bao.

At this moment, they could only pin all their hopes on Baby Jin Bao because only he was relatively familiar with this place!

Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue were completely unfamiliar with this place. Even if they wanted to find Gu Changsheng, they didn’t know where to start!

"Here... here... it should be fine. No one has ever fallen from here..." Baby Jin Bao was terrified by the serious looks of Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, twisting his small fingers, looking on the verge of tears, said, "Even I don’t know what’s going on here, we are all fine, we are clearly all fine, why is it only she who is not okay?"

How could Baby Jin Bao have known such a thing would happen?

This Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, no one had ever fallen before, how could he know what kind of ghost place was beneath it?

"Find her! No matter what, you must find her! You should know who she is, she can’t have anything go wrong! She can’t have anything go wrong!" Zhou Mu looked at Baby Jin Bao, the black aura around him constantly surging...

Shi Wujue just took one look and knew what Zhou Mu wanted to do!

He wanted to enhance his abilities, to break this trick technique’s existence, and fall with Gu Changsheng from the same place!

Find her!

This was the only thought in Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s minds at this moment.

Shi Wujue almost simultaneously made a decision. In his hand appeared a mallet, neither entirely wood nor not wood, a bit of pale golden power continuously gathered onto the wooden staff...

Breaking the illusionary barrier here, perhaps, they might all fall together...

Beneath this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, perhaps there was a sheer cliff, perhaps a path of no return, but so what?

They had to find Gu Changsheng!

At all costs, even if it meant death!

"Bang!"

The black air surged from within Zhou Mu, carrying a cataclysmic force, and slammed down at his feet...

And the mallet in Shi Wujue’s hand also struck the transparent, suspended ground at almost the same time...

Yuan Bao and Black Man Duo Shu saw this and also stepped forward, using all their strength to smash at the transparent ground beneath their feet...

Gu Changsheng!

Gu Changsheng!

To this group, Gu Changsheng could be considered the most important presence in their hearts. Anyone could have an accident, but not Gu Changsheng!

In life or death, they had to accompany her, to find her!

And just as Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue, and the others were desperately trying to find Gu Changsheng, at this moment, Gu Changsheng was experiencing firsthand what was called a wordless response...

What the hell!

Wasn’t she lazily asking questions before she fell?

What was she asking about again?

Oh right, was this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms actually ten thousand fathoms high or ten thousand fathoms long?

At this very moment, Gu Changsheng no longer needs an answer, because while experiencing the free fall, she already knows why it’s called the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms. Damn, because it really is ten thousand fathoms high, no exaggeration at all!

Aside from the initial panic of falling, after free falling for a while, Gu Changsheng has already calmed down. It’s not that she’s particularly brave, rather, the unease in her heart has finally settled. For some reason, Gu Changsheng even has the feeling that this is how things are supposed to be!

She just knew, Godfather wasn’t very fond of her. Damn, what she said wasn’t just self-pity or politeness, Godfather really doesn’t care for her!

Look, everyone else crosses the Broken Cliff just fine, but when it comes to her, she falls in no time at all!

Not only did she fall, but it also happened halfway through, unable to go forward or backward, unable to save herself!

What do you call this?

This is called when the heavens block all your paths!

If it was just stepping on the Broken Cliff and falling, Gu Changsheng could still rely on her own abilities to fly back up. But now, she’s in midair, with nothing to support her from any direction. Damn, even if she grew wings, it would be hard to fly!

"In this world that values appearances, it really can’t get any better!"

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse under her breath. Listening to the gale howling in her ears, she couldn’t help but close her eyes tightly, holding even more tightly onto the only thing in her arms.

When she went to the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, she didn’t bring anything, except for this Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp. Now it’s the only thing accompanying her...

In her ears, the mountain winds howled past, her body continuously plunging downward, the sharp whistling winds distorting her face. Gu Changsheng felt that, damn, if the fall doesn’t kill her, her face will probably still be ruined!

With this wind speed, if her face isn’t messed up by it, it would be a disservice to the existence of this wind!

Even in such a life-threatening situation, Gu Changsheng can still think about these things, still joke with herself. It must be said that Gu Changsheng’s acceptance of her fate has reached a level of near abandonment!

"Godfather, I hope the evildoer back home isn’t too worried? Shi Wujue is probably going to go mad... Heaven have mercy, you guys don’t worry, if I’m smashed to death, in twenty years, I’ll be a wild girlfriend again... But this wind, can you stop slapping my face like this? Keep on doing this, and even if I don’t die from the fall, my looks will be ruined..."

"I’m someone who makes a living with my face..."

"..."

As her body plummeted, Gu Changsheng, facing the roaring mountain winds, shouted out...

As if only by doing so could she ease her fear of the unknown...

But, whether Gu Changsheng was overthinking it or not, after she shouted that, the piercing mountain wind was no longer as cutting as before...

This...

This made Gu Changsheng, in her fall, suddenly feel a bit bewildered...

"Huh? What kind of ghost is this?" In the midst of her fall, Gu Changsheng couldn’t resist opening her tightly shut eyes a tiny bit, taking a glance downwards...

Well...

Still the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, can’t see the bottom in one glance...

But why, when she hoped the wind wouldn’t blow in her face, the wind suddenly stopped blowing her face?

In her arms, the wick of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp faintly glowed, Gu Changsheng was completely unaware, her Phoenix Eyes flash with a sharp light, as she murmured with a hint of uncertainty, "How about slowing down the fall too? Although I make a living with my face, if I lose my life, what’s the point of my face?"

Almost at the moment when Gu Changsheng’s words fell, she clearly felt that her falling speed did a 180-degree reversal...

It was originally like a violent storm, but now it’s suddenly turned into a gentle breeze...

This...

Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened almost instantly!

Damn!

This defies all logic!

This completely disregards gravity, damn, this free fall can be controlled on its own, how would this make Mr. Newton feel!

If Mr. Newton found out about this scene, he’d probably curse the apple that fell on his head several times over!

Clearly thinking he discovered a truth, only to uncover a messed up reality!

Of course, as someone who respects science, Gu Changsheng would never think the great Mr. Newton was wrong, the mistake certainly isn’t with Mr. Newton, nor with his discovery of gravity, the mistake clearly lies with this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms!

This place, damn, is really freaky!

"Godfather’s Fourth Auntie Grandma, could it be that this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms is conscious? Or is there someone beneath this cliff who can hear me?"

Her Phoenix Eyes darted around, Gu Changsheng looked around in disbelief, before going onto the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, she had a bad feeling, now, as she falls, she surprisingly feels a bit reassured...

Strangely, even in such a perilous situation, Gu Changsheng doesn’t feel afraid...
