Chapter 173 Gu Changye enters the profession, locking the second anchor.
Inside the abandoned archives.
The twelve black door chains fell simultaneously.
Eleven locks pointed towards Gu Changye.
The last one went straight for the black notebook in his arms.
Gu Changye did not dodge.
He simply looked down and watched the thinnest chain slip through his sleeve and wrap around the corner of the notebook.
Click.
The dark door pattern spread rapidly along the book cover.
The text recorded in the notes lit up page by page.
Bronze Goalkeeper.
Second anchor.
Lin Xiaoya's lock mark.
Lin Yuan's three-stage battle form.
Blood shadow soul core.
Extreme Star Domain.
All records concerning the battle of the Dragon Abyss Main Gate were being read line by line by the gate chain.
The smile in Gu Changye's eyes faded slightly.
"I see."
Pei Xuanmen's voice came from deep within the archives.
"Did you understand?"
"The first eleven living anchors are used to bear the power of the sect leader's descent."
Gu Changye raised his hand.
She let a door chain wrap around her wrist.
"But the twelfth one is different."
"You need someone to calibrate reality for the Zero Ancient Gate."
The surrounding darkness rippled slightly.
Gu Changye continued:
"The sect leader is too far from Earth."
"Even if the twelve-ring gate array is completed, a forced descent may still result in deviations."
"Therefore, the last anchor cannot simply have stargate access."
"You also need to have a good understanding of Lin Yuan, Lin Xiaoya, the main sect of Longyuan, and the reasons for all your previous failures."
He looked down at the black notebook.
"You chose me."
"It's not because I can protect the gate."
"It's because I've seen too many doors."
There was a moment of silence in the darkness.
Pei Xuanmen's voice rang out again.
"Gu Changye".
"You are indeed more suitable than those people in the General Headquarters."
"The headquarters only records the power level."
"The gatekeeper only judges the gate's power structure."
"Only you recorded every change in the Gate Devourer."
"Only you can pinpoint the sect leader's weakness the moment he arrives."
The eleven door chains suddenly tightened.
Gu Changye's arms, legs, and neck were locked at the same time.
Black lines spread upwards along the skin.
Wherever the door pattern passes, the flesh and blood quickly turn cold.
They did not immediately invade the soul.
Instead, they built tiny channels inside Gu Changye's body.
Wait until the twelfth anchor is truly opened.
These channels will then connect all his memories, observations, and deductions to the Zero Ancient Gate.
Gu Changye did not struggle.
He even took the initiative to open the black notebook.
"Since you want to see it."
"Then look more carefully."
All the black eye patterns on the door chain opened at the same time.
Turn to the first page of the notes.
There was only one sentence written on it.
A door is not a road.
A door is something that forcibly turns two places that were originally not connected into adjacent ones.
Page 2.
Every door requires two coordinates.
The location to enter.
The location where it came out.
Page 3.
If you can only see one end, it means the other end has been hidden.
Pei Xuanmen's voice became low.
"What do you want to do?"
Gu Changye smiled.
"you guess."
He flicked his finger lightly.
The notes continued to be flipped through.
Page four is not text.
Instead, it is a complex underground star chart.
The map marks the strata of the ancient capital of Zhongzhou, the Nine-fold Star Iron Seal, and the thirteen possible locations of interlayers where the No. 0 Ancient Gate may exist.
Twelve of them were crossed out.
Only one place remains.
But that location is also wrong.
After the door chain read the star chart, a large number of dark door patterns quickly flooded the paper, attempting to correct the incorrect coordinates.
Doors hate wrong paths the most.
Because if incorrect coordinates are included in the gate array, the entire cross-domain path will be offset.
Therefore, the door chain must be checked.
It must be calibrated.
We must also obtain the correct coordinates from the real No. 0 Ancient Gate for comparison.
Just then.
Gu Changye's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I've found you."
The deepest part of the notebook pages.
A black line that did not exist before slowly appeared.
The black line crosses the incorrect star chart.
down.
left.
Then it turned into a hidden compartment behind a door.
That is the true entrance to the Zero Ancient Gate.
Pei Xuanmen clearly sensed something was wrong.
"Retrieve the door chain!"
The chain that had been entangled in the black notebook immediately retreated.
Gu Changye had already raised two fingers.
A tiny black nail was held between his fingertips.
The Sky Patrol Bureau seeks traces.
It cannot harm those behind higher-level gates.
Its sole purpose is to nail a disappearing trace to reality.
Gu Changye pointed a finger down.
Black nails pierce through the pages.
It also pinpointed the real path that was disappearing.
hum!
The entire abandoned archive trembled slightly.
The dust on the ground scattered to both sides.
A curved door mark emerged from beneath the long table.
It does not lead directly to the Zero Gate.
However, it was the return path left behind by Pei Xuanmen when he took control of this archive.
Follow this road.
At least we can enter the outer interlayer of the No. 0 Ancient Gate.
For the first time, Pei Xuanmen's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"You deliberately used incorrect coordinates to force the door chain to correct them for you."
Gu Changye nodded.
"Otherwise, how am I supposed to get in?"
"You think that finding the entrance will allow you to destroy the Twelve Rings Formation?"
"No."
Gu Changye looked up into the darkness.
"I just want to confirm one thing."
"What?"
"You are still near the Zero Gate."
Pei Xuanmen did not answer.
Gu Changye, however, already had the answer.
If Pei Xuanmen were far from the Zero Ancient Gate and only controlled the archives through ordinary door talismans, the door chain just now could not have retrieved the real coordinates so quickly.
Only the main body is near the Zero Ancient Gate.
Only then can calibration be completed in an instant.
The twelve door chains tightened again.
This time, the erosion will not be slow.
Eleven door chains pierced Gu Changye's body simultaneously.
puff!
Blood seeped from beneath the black robe.
Gu Changye swayed slightly.
The chain passed through his shoulders, waist, and limbs, pinning him to the front of the long table.
The last chain completely entangled the black notebook.
I want to drag the entire notebook directly to the beginning.
"Since you're in such a hurry to come in..."
Pei Xuanmen said:
"Then it will become the twelfth anchor ahead of schedule."
In the center of the long table.
Twelve files were opened simultaneously.
The first one, by Han Yuechuan.
The second one was from Huo Yunzhang.
The third document was originally addressed to Zhou Xuanheng.
But the name has been burned through by dark gold flames.
The remaining nine copies are all blank.
Only the last one.
The name Gu Changye is growing increasingly dark.
As the name becomes more profound.
The gate-like patterns within Gu Changye's body began to converge towards his heart.
The outline of a tiny black door was taking shape on his chest.
As long as the black gate is completely solidified.
The twelfth anchor will be set ahead of schedule.
Even if the remaining live anchors have not yet been collected.
Gu Changye will also be locked into the Zero Ancient Gate first.
He looked down at the spreading lines on his chest.
The smile on his face finally disappeared.
Pei Xuanmen said:
"Don't you like taking apart things that other people have already made?"
"Come in."
"I'll let you take your time dismantling it."
Gu Changye raised his head.
That makes sense.
next moment.
He suddenly let go.
The black notebook fell from my palm.
The chain that had tangled the notebook immediately lifted upwards.
I want to store it under the curved doorway beneath the long table.
It can happen the instant the note is pulled up.
A piece of white paper that was tucked into the last page fell out.
There were no words on the blank paper.
There were only a few very light ink dots.
three o'clock.
six o'clock.
Twelve o'clock.
24:00.
The moment the ink droplet hits the ground, it lights up simultaneously.
It is not an attack formation.
It's not a seal either.
It was, in fact, the simplest communication mark from the Celestial Patrol.
It cannot transmit sound across tens of thousands of miles.
Yet it can deliver a very short rhythm to all paths that have ever been connected to the patterns on the door of this place.
Including the peephole that was previously hidden in the black scraps of paper.
This also includes the black line that had followed the General Headquarters' communications to Zhou Xuanheng.
Pei Xuanmen immediately noticed.
"Break it off!"
Below the long table, dozens of door-shaped lines rush towards the white paper.
Gu Changye suddenly took a step forward.
He allowed the eleven chains piercing his body to penetrate further.
Simultaneously.
Step on the white paper with one foot.
The door knocker bumped into his body.
It was a moment too slow.
It was in that very moment.
Message completed.
Three short.
Six short.
Twelve short.
Twenty-four short.
At last.
A very long door slammed shut.
thump—
The signal disappeared.
The white paper turned into black ash.
Pei Xuanmen's voice turned completely cold.
"Who are you showing the way to?"
Gu Changye looked down at the ashes at his feet.
"Someone who particularly enjoys eating doors."
All the windows in the archive shattered simultaneously.
Darkness poured in like a tide.
The curved doorway beneath the long table opened completely.
There is no underground area behind the door.
Instead, it was a dark corridor that had been folded countless times.
Both sides of the corridor.
Every few feet there is a stone gate.
Crying could be heard coming from behind some doors.
Some dry, withered hands protruded from the cracks in the doors.
On some doors, there are old identity plaques belonging to human gatekeepers.
Gu Changye looked at the road.
His eyes changed slightly.
Seventy-six years.
Pei Xuanmen is not just guarding the No. 0 ancient gate.
He hid too many things in this mezzanine corridor.
"Gu Changye".
Pei Xuanmen's voice came from the end of the corridor.
"Since you wish to see me..."
"Then let's go."
All eleven door chains were pulled back simultaneously.
Gu Changye was dragged toward the door mark.
He did not resist.
Instead, he raised his hand and grabbed the black notebook that was tangled in another door chain.
Before the body entered the doorway.
Gu Changye turned his head and glanced at the twelve files.
The first and second portions have turned completely black.
The third marking failed.
And on the fourth blank file.
A new drop of black ink is slowly seeping out.
A new name is coming soon.
Gu Changye narrowed his eyes slightly.
I want to see it clearly.
But the door under the long table had suddenly closed.
boom!
Gu Changye and the black notebook disappeared at the same time.
The archives fell silent once again.
Only the ink on the fourth file is still slowly spreading.
The first stroke.
The second stroke.
Ultimately, this resulted in a surname.
lo.
……
Broken Star Boat.
Quiet room.
Lin Xiaoya suddenly covered her forehead.
The white lock mark on the door flashed violently.
She heard a series of strange knocks on the door.
Three times.
Grade 6, Part 2.
12th grade.
Twenty-fourth grade.
Finally, there was a long bang of the door.
She opened her eyes.
"elder brother."
Lin Yuan looked at her.
"Someone is knocking on the door."
"What's the rhythm?"
Lin Xiaoya repeated it.
Zhou Xuanheng stood to the side, his expression immediately changing.
"Three, six, twelve, twenty-four."
"These figures are from previous budget records."
"Gu Changye".
A dark golden starry sky had already unfolded in Lin Yuan's eyes.
A faint vibration also rang out from the tracking gate he had just swallowed.
The signal is very weak.
However, it left a clear scratch inside the Extreme Star Soul.
The scratch did not point directly to the Zero Ancient Gate.
Instead, it points to a folded corridor hidden behind the layers of reality.
Gu Changye found the entrance.
And before being dragged in, they left a path open.
Lin Yuan raised his hand.
Dark gold starlight gathered in the palm of my hand.
A blurry door, less than half a foot high, slowly emerged.
It is not the Extreme Star Gate.
He is still a long way from 1.1 million times.
It is impossible to truly open doors across domains.
But with the help of the traces left by Gu Changye, he was able to lock up that mezzanine corridor.
Once you enter Zhongzhou.
The distance is close enough.
You can then follow this trail and break in.
Lin Xiaoya suddenly looked up again.
"There's one more person."
Zhou Xuanheng's face darkened.
"A third live anchor?"
"There is no light."
Lin Xiaoya shook her head.
"The fourth piece of paper has a name on it."
"Who?"
Lin Xiaoya closed her eyes.
In a white dream.
She only saw a drop of black ink spreading on the paper.
A full name has not yet been determined.
Only the very first character.
lo.
She opened her eyes.
"His surname is Luo."
The quiet room suddenly fell silent.
Zhou Xuanheng immediately looked at Lin Yuan.
In Longyuan City.
He had the closest relationship with Lin Yuan.
Having high-level stargate access makes one a suitable candidate for selection as a live anchor.
His surname is Luo.
only one.
Luo Xingshuang.
The dark golden starlight in Lin Yuan's eyes paused for a moment.
next moment.
He stood up abruptly.
"Contact Longyuan."
Zhou Xuanheng immediately took out his backup communication token.
"Images cannot be used."
"Only send text signals to users who do not have permission."
Qin Guanlan also quickly entered the quiet room.
"What happened?"
Zhou Xuanheng's voice was deep:
"Their next target."
"It might be Luo Xingshuang."
The communication signal has just been activated.
No message has been sent yet.
A muffled impact suddenly rang out from outside the Starbreaker.
Boom!
The entire boat tilted violently.
An alarm went off in the main control room.
Qin Zhu's voice came through the array.
"A portal mark has been detected ahead!"
"It's not a natural crack!"
"Something is blocking the boat!"
Outside the bow.
In what was originally a clear sea of clouds.
A black stone gate, hundreds of feet tall, floats silently in the air.
In the center of the stone gate.
It bears the inscription of a name that is slowly taking shape.
Luo Xingshuang.
Behind the door.
The aged voice of Pei Xuanmen could be heard.
"You want to save her?"
"Then open this door first."
