National Fortune Bonus: After the new player awakens at the maximum level, he will kill like crazy

That’s right, the young man in front of him was none other than A Guang, the sickly child who was once saved by You Fuyao in the First Continent. After years of baptism, he has now grown into the young master of the Ji family in the Gray Realm, named Ji Lingguang.

He had gone through many hardships since he was young, but this also tempered his tenacious character. Before leaving the First Continent, Su Mohui's shaping of his body made his strength more stable. Now that he has returned to the Gray Realm, he is also a well-known figure.

"It's sorted." Ji Lingguang nodded slightly. As he spoke, he reached out and took off the space jade pendant from around his neck. The jade pendant emitted a soft light, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary object.

He handed the jade pendant to Qi Mo and said seriously, "It's all here. Brother Qi, take a look and see if there's anything missing."

Qi Mo took the space jade pendant handed to him by Ji Lingguang, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after sensing it for a while, he looked up at Ji Lingguang, a faint smile on his lips, and praised: "You always do things in a reassuring way. The things in this jade pendant have a stable aura, which means they must have been properly organized."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingguang smiled modestly and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Qi, you are too kind. This is a matter of great importance, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. However, what exactly are the objects of these four major families gathered together for? Brother Qi, can you at least reveal a few things now?"

As he spoke, he refilled their glasses with sake and looked at Qi Mo with curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.

Qi Mo picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the Phoenix Fire Spirit Wine. The rich aroma of the wine spread in his mouth. He savored it for a moment before slowly speaking, "You know, the situation in the Nine Heavens is becoming increasingly complicated. Undercurrents are surging from all sides. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, dangers are lurking everywhere."

"And the things I asked you to collect, part of them have unique marks of inheritance, while the other part can suppress the power of resentment. When combined together, perhaps you can find those missing gods, or find a way to check and balance this chaos."

"The missing gods?" Ji Lingguang listened, frowning slightly, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and his voice became a little lower: "Brother Qi, I know you are a great figure with divine power, but the Lord of Light is very concerned about these things..."

"That's true, but we can't retreat now." Qi Mo put down his wine glass and looked through the window at the distant sky that was still shrouded in gray fog, as if he wanted to penetrate the fog and see the changes hidden behind it.

"You know, the situation in the Nine Heavens has changed. After the Netherworld officially returned, the fates of several orthodox gods have appeared many times in my Zhuluo Instrument, but I have detected auras in these fates that do not belong to this world..."

To be precise, it is a breath that does not belong to this universe.

Qi Mo didn't say this out loud. He didn't need to tell Ji Lingguang, "A few days ago, my Zhuluoyi unexpectedly revealed the four ancient surnames Yao, Ji, Jiang, and Ren. Then, I happened to hear some things about the Gray Realm and the Fateful Space from an old friend. If I don't stop it, I'm afraid it will cause great disaster..."

"In other words, the things hidden in the four major families in this gray world can directly affect the legendary destined space?" Ji Lingguang seemed to have insight into something, his eyes were full of thought. Although his tone was in the form of a question, his words were full of affirmation. It was clear that he followed Qi Mo's train of thought and guessed some of the key points.

Qi Mo nodded and was about to get up and leave when a sudden commotion from downstairs interrupted their conversation. The two of them looked at each other, then both stood up and walked to the railing, looking down.

I saw that a dispute had broken out downstairs at some point. A burly man with a red face was pointing at and cursing a thin scholar-like man in a gray robe. A group of people gathered around him, some trying to stop the fight and some cheering on the side. The scene was a mess.

"Well, this Gray Realm is like this, full of good and bad people, and a small thing can cause a big mess." Ji Lingguang frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Qi Mo looked downstairs thoughtfully and said softly, "Don't underestimate these trivial matters. Sometimes, key clues are often hidden in inconspicuous places."

As he spoke, he moved and jumped lightly from the third floor, landing steadily between the two arguing people.

When everyone saw Qi Mo appear, they were stunned at first. The originally noisy noise seemed to have been paused and quieted down instantly.

The burly man was about to get angry when he saw someone interfering, but when he saw that it was Qi Mo, his expression froze, and his arrogant aura suddenly weakened a bit, like an eggplant hit by frost, and he muttered:

"Mr. Qi, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please don't meddle in other people's business." Although there was still some reluctance in his words, his voice unconsciously lowered a lot, and it was obvious that he was afraid of Qi Mo.

Qi Mo simply smiled faintly, a smile as warm as the spring sun, gentle yet revealing an irresistible majesty. His gaze slowly swept over the two of them, and he asked in a gentle voice, "What are you arguing about? Tell me. If you have a point, I'll help you get justice."

The frail scholar hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Qi Mo. His face was filled with anxiety as he said anxiously, "Master Qi, I was just discussing some ancient records with someone here, but this elder brother insisted that I was talking nonsense and even hit me. I am truly wronged. I hope Master Qi and Master Ji will understand."

Qi Mo nodded slightly to show his comfort, and then looked at the big man with a calm but scrutinizing gaze, "Oh? Then why do you think what he said is nonsense?"

The big man's face flushed red when Qi Mo asked him this, and he stammered, "He...he said something about ancient books that recorded a method to break through the gray world barrier and reach the destined space. This...how is this possible? I think he is just spreading rumors to confuse people!"

"This Gray Realm has existed for so many years. How could anyone easily break through the barrier and reach that illusory and destined space? I immediately thought it was unreliable, so I couldn't help but argue with him."

When Qi Mo heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and a subtle light flashed in the depths of his eyes. However, his face remained calm, and he continued to ask slowly: "Where is your ancient book? Can you show it to me?"

The scholar hurriedly pulled out a slightly worn booklet from his pocket. It looked quite old, with slightly yellowed paper and frayed edges, showing the wear and tear of many years. He held the booklet in both hands and handed it to Qi Mo respectfully.

Qi Mo took the booklet, opened it carefully, and examined each page carefully. His expression became more and more solemn, and his originally peaceful face was now furrowed.
