Design Drawings of the Bronze Gate

"Tomb Raiding: Scientists Dissect the Queen Mother of the West" is sparking a reading frenzy. Haven't you read it yet?

As dawn broke, the group arrived safely in the territory of the Wannu Kingdom and breathed a sigh of relief.

With torches around, the wild beasts dared not approach, which is why they were able to travel so smoothly.

The Zhang clan chief wiped the sweat from his brow and said to the soldier beside him:

"There's no time to lose, take us to see King Wannu now."

"He must be in such a hurry to see me because he has something important to say."

The King of Wannu has been entrenched in Changbai Mountain for a long time, and he is ruthless and merciless, killing without blinking an eye. He is someone that Wannu is unwilling to offend.

They didn't want to see the Zhang clan and the Wannu Kingdom go to war.

That would result in severe losses, causing the death of most of the tribe.

Moreover, besides the Wannu King, other tribes were also watching them.

The tribal chiefs all believed that the Zhang clan possessed the "art of immortality".

If their strength is greatly reduced, they may be besieged.

The soldier nodded:

"Come with me."

He led the Zhang clan chief and a dozen or so members of the Zhang clan toward the palace.

After a while.

The Zhang clan patriarch entered the palace to await the arrival of the Wannu King.

Qi Mo also received a notification that the Zhang clan chief had arrived in Wannu Kingdom.

He quickly washed up and went outside.

Clan Chief Zhang, it's been so long! You'll be very surprised when you see me later.

This is another opportunity to earn Shock Points.

Qi Mo slowly walked into the palace and found that the King of Wannu was chatting with the Zhang clan chief.

When the Zhang clan chief saw Qi Mo, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he said:

"My Lord, you are truly in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Slaves!"

Just now, King Wannu told him that the God was also in Wannu Kingdom, but he didn't believe it.

Now that he had seen the deity with his own eyes, he finally believed it was true.

But didn't the deity return to the heavens?

How did I end up here?

The Zhang clan has always maintained contact with the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West and knows when Qi Mo will return to the Nine Heavens.

That's why he seemed so shocked at this moment.

Qi Mo had already prepared his words and said with a smile:

"I was originally going to return to the heavens, but during my return journey, I foresaw a great calamity in the human world, so I descended back to the human world."

"You must have seen the demon stone fall last night."

"That demonic stone smashed open a spatial rift, creating a passage between the human realm and hell."

"If we don't find a way to seal it off, then the world will be plunged into chaos and death."

He stared at the Zhang clan chief and said, word by word:

Do you know what this means?

The Zhang clan chief was taken aback by receiving so many messages at once.

Demon Stone!

Spatial rift!

A passage between the human realm and hell!

The land was devastated, and corpses littered the ground!

This sounds ominous; it seems a major catastrophe is about to occur.

He took a deep breath and asked:

"My Lord, since you speak of it as so serious, how can we seal that spatial rift and prevent the great calamity from occurring?"

He knew that the deity must have a plan in mind for saying so much.

Although he had many questions he wanted to understand, he still knew how to prioritize things.

Now we should focus all our efforts on sealing that spatial rift.

Qi Mo retrieved the blueprints for the bronze door from the system space:

"These are the design drawings for the bronze door, detailing the raw materials used in its manufacture and how it was built..."

"Send people to collect the raw materials immediately and build the bronze door before the evil spirits escape."

"Only in this way can human safety be guaranteed."

He didn't hide anything or ramble on; instead, he directly took out the design drawings for the bronze door.

Now, with only a dozen days left before he leaves this era, he must hurry and finish building the bronze door.

Even if it's impossible to create the entire thing, we should at least create a portion to temporarily stop the evil spirits from escaping to the human world.

Only then can he leave in peace.

The King of Wannu and the Zhang clan chief exchanged a glance, and said with solemn expressions:

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will send people to collect the raw materials for the Bronze Gate immediately."

They took the design drawings for the bronze door and examined them carefully.

Then, they wrote the names of various raw materials on animal hides and sent people to collect them.

Qi Mo didn't interfere.

If Wannu King and Zhang clan chief did not want their tribe to perish.

Then we will focus all our efforts on building the bronze door.

After all, once the evil spirit escapes, the first people it will deal with will be the Wan Nu Kingdom and the Zhang clan.

Who told them to be right in Changbai Mountain, the closest place to where the meteorite fell!

…………

At the spatial rift.

The army of ghost soldiers returned once more.

The tall man holding the halberd sat on horseback, looking at the world on the other side of the spatial rift, somewhat hesitant.

He wanted to go there, but he didn't dare to go there easily.

After all, the person and the small sun from yesterday made him feel a strong sense of danger.

"The spiritual energy in the human world is dwindling, yet there are still such powerful individuals. How interesting!"

"Fine, let those evil spirits test the waters first. Once it's safe, I'll use this spatial rift to head to the human world."

He pondered for a long time, but still dared not take any risks. He could only lead his troops to retreat again, heading towards the depths of hell.

Qi Mo was unaware of everything that was happening here.

Because he wasn't paying attention to everything happening at the spatial rift.

The system didn't pay attention either, because Qi Mo hadn't paid any points to have it keep an eye on things, so of course it wouldn't act for free.

This has nothing to do with points, it's none of my business!

…………

Around noon.

The sun hung high in the sky, and warm sunlight streamed into the room through the wooden windows.

Not far away, the Zhang clan patriarch sat cross-legged in front of a wooden table, holding a silk scroll in his hand, his expression somewhat conflicted.

As agreed, he had to relay the message from the deity back to the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.

But at this moment, he did hesitate.

He was afraid that the gods would be angry if they found out about this.

Moreover, he had no desire to work for the sleeping Queen Mother of the West.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in.

Qi Mo closed the door, narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Zhang clan chief, whose face was full of confusion.

The Zhang clan patriarch quickly stood up and respectfully bowed to Qi Mo:

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"May I ask what brings you here, my lord?"

He hid the silk scroll under the table.

Qi Mo saw through his little actions clearly and said with a half-smile:

"Clan Chief Zhang, why are you so nervous?"

"What were you hiding just now?"

Under immense pressure, the Zhang clan patriarch's mind raced, and he forced a smile as he said:

"My Lord, I didn't hide anything."

"This is just an ordinary silk scroll, nothing special."

He took out another silk book from under the table.

Fortunately, he usually liked to hide the silk book under the table.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if the silk scroll from earlier were taken out.

Under the table, there were several silk scrolls.

Qi Mo smiled and stared at the Zhang clan chief, saying:

"You really think you can hide your agreement with the Queen Mother of the West from me?"

"The Queen Mother of the West obtained her immortality technique from me."

"And the key to achieving immortality, she probably didn't tell you."

"That is, three thousand years from now, I will need to return to the mortal realm and infuse your bodies with divine power."

"Without this step, you will never be able to attain immortality."

He paused, then reached out and stroked the head of the mutated pheasant's neck:

"As a smart person, you should know what to do."

"Also, you probably know what should be said and what shouldn't be said."

"I don't like being watched, do you understand?"

The mutated pheasant stuck out its tongue.

The Zhang clan chief was drenched in sweat, his breathing became rapid, and his legs felt weak.

"My Lord, this was all the Queen Mother of the West's idea; it has nothing to do with me."

"She threatened me that if I didn't secretly monitor your every move and report back to the Queen Mother of the West, she would send troops to attack my Zhang clan's territory."

"Although she is now asleep, her subordinate, the Mystic Maiden, is still here, and I dare not disobey their orders."

He absolved himself of all responsibility, placing all blame and responsibility on the Queen Mother of the West.

He can be described as cunning and shrewd!

Qi Mo took two steps forward and said in a deep voice:

"If the Queen Mother of the West dares to send people to keep an eye on me, I will settle accounts with her a thousand years from now."

"Whether you are innocent or not, you know best."

"Alright, I've said everything that should and shouldn't have been said."

"Think about it carefully on your own."

Qi Mo turned and left, not wanting to waste too much time on the Zhang clan chief.

After Qi Mo walked away, the Zhang clan chief suddenly collapsed to the ground as if deflated.

"Damn Queen Mother of the West, you've really ruined me this time."

"As expected, you didn't tell me the whole story of the secret to immortality."

"You dared to hide from me the fact that this requires a deity to infuse magical power to awaken it."

"What a vicious old hag!"

He took out the hidden silk scroll from under the table.

Then he lit an oil lamp and burned the silk scroll.

Since the gods have explained it so clearly, he naturally knows what to do.

Following the Queen Mother of the West is clearly not as promising as following a deity; even a fool knows which to choose.
