Chapter 1572. Co-operative Partner
Gu Qingcheng nodded. “You are right. The rooms you and I went to were similar. There were some differences, however. I guess those must have been crystallizer items, but I didn’t know that at the time. And when I actually returned from there, I was unable to find the entrance I had originally used.”
Han Sen thought the sanctuaries definitely had some association with the crystallizers now. When he entered the Main Control Room, he himself had been taken ten years into the future. He had no reason to doubt what she was telling him.
But Han Sen still believed that something was amiss. He looked at Gu Qingcheng and said, “I remember something; weren’t you a member of the seventh team? You were with Han Jinzhi in the beginning, and it’s a well-known fact that humans were unable to enter the sanctuaries at that point. The teleporters were just for testing. Did you get out through one of those devices?”
Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “Teleporters aren’t the only way for one to leave the sanctuaries. When I teleported away, I found myself standing at an altar situated in some old construct on a human-inhabited planet. It was my exit point, but there was no way for me to re-enter from there. When I eventually returned to the sanctuaries, I made use of human-built teleporters to go to and fro.”
Han Sen asked, “When you entered the sanctuary with Han Jinzhi, what did you see?”
“I have answered enough for now. Now it’s your turn. Give me the rest of the book.” Gu Qingcheng simply put out her hands.
“Answer my last question: what happened there?” Han Sen insisted on an answer for this.
“I don’t know what happened. We met a being called God. He said he could fulfill our grandest wishes, but we would only receive one each. Han Jinzhi told me not to make a wish, so I left with Ning. Ning did not make a wish, either. After that, I’m unsure what happened,” Gu Qingcheng said.
“Were you a demi-god by that point already? Did you think that was God himself, or was it just some strong, almighty creature?” Han Sen asked.
