Chapter 92: Planetary Warning
However, after thinking it over and over, Zhou Heng could not think of anything he had missed.
In the end, he could only drift into a deep sleep.
Ever since arriving in the Douluo World, Zhou Heng had rarely slept soundly, but this time, Zhou Heng fell asleep extremely quickly and even arrived within his Sea of Consciousness.
Zhou Heng looked at that familiar will within the Sea of Consciousness and could not help but furrow his brows.
"Manxing? Why have you shrunk so much? What happened to you?"
Before Zhou Heng, an intangible spiritual consciousness was slowly floating; this spiritual consciousness was none other than Manxing.
Previously, when the Battle Instrument Martial Soul awakened, the planetary consciousness of Shuilanxing had brought Manxing into his Sea of Consciousness, and afterwards, Manxing had given him a great deal of knowledge regarding Soul Rings.
Now, for some reason, Manxing had actually taken the initiative to bring him into the Sea of Consciousness, and furthermore, the volume of Manxing's spiritual consciousness had shrunk by more than half.
Just as Zhou Heng was looking at the Manxing before him in confusion, Manxing's spiritual consciousness finally made a move.
Zhou Heng saw Manxing's spiritual consciousness suddenly change, transforming into a map; upon closer inspection, it was actually a map of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Before Zhou Heng could look any further, the map rapidly shrank, shrinking all the way down to a few small cities in the northwestern part of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Manxing's spiritual consciousness wanted to continue narrowing the scope, but a blood-red force blocked these few small cities, preventing Manxing's spiritual consciousness from narrowing the scope further.
Manxing tried several times, but was blocked by this blood-red force each time; seeing that it could not continue to narrow the scope, it retracted the map.
A familiar yet weak voice rang out within Zhou Heng's Sea of Consciousness: "Heng, save... God, beware of Asura."
"Do not... others, will... betray."
Manxing's spiritual consciousness repeated these words several times, allowing Zhou Heng to memorize them completely.
Afterwards, without waiting for Zhou Heng to say anything more, a blood-red force suddenly appeared from within Manxing's spiritual consciousness, and subsequently, Manxing's spiritual consciousness vanished directly from Zhou Heng's Sea of Consciousness.
"Hoo-hoo~."
The next moment, Zhou Heng woke up directly from his sleep; looking at the familiar surroundings, he was still in the inn from before he went to sleep, and a feeling of irritability seemed to appear out of thin air, making Zhou Heng restless and uneasy.
Moreover, only half an hour had passed since he had fallen asleep.
"Just now, what happened to Manxing's spiritual consciousness? Why did it become so weak? And that blood-red force that blocked those few small cities? What exactly is that?"
The extremely quiet environment around him not only failed to alleviate the anxiety in Zhou Heng's mind, but instead intensified it.
"No, this isn't my anxiety, this is Manxing being restless and uneasy!"
Zhou Heng suddenly realized that his irritable mood was not normal, and furthermore, no matter how much he called out to Manxing in his Sea of Consciousness, Manxing would no longer descend.
Zhou Heng did not doubt whether Manxing was deceiving him, because his connection to the planetary consciousness of Douluo Star was now extremely profound.
This kind of connection could not be faked; even a god could not achieve this.
After all, the prerequisite for being able to do this was to have complete mastery over the planetary consciousness of Douluo Star, or at least half of the power and authority of the planetary consciousness.
If it were the Douluo II era, perhaps it could have been Tang San's parents pretending to be the Douluo Star planetary consciousness.
However, in this current era, the planetary consciousness could not be faked.
Zhou Heng recalled the few sentences Manxing had told him in the Sea of Consciousness.
"Could it be that something happened to Qian Renxue?"
Currently, the only thing related to gods is the Spirit Hall, and she is the only descendant of the Angel God.
As for the rest, it should be Manxing warning him not to bring others along, otherwise, it is very likely that one's mind will be controlled by the power of the Asura God, turning them into a subordinate of the Asura God.
Zhou Heng stood up immediately, thinking of the original story where Qian Renxue could have clearly killed Tang San directly, yet she let Tang San go multiple times; in the end, Tang San became a dual-god and destroyed the Spirit Hall.
Perhaps it was this time that the Asura God played a dark trick on Qian Renxue, leaving a gap in Qian Renxue's mind, laying a foundation for influencing Qian Renxue's mind in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Heng dared not hesitate any longer; with a wave of his hand, he left a line of text on the table in the room with his soul power, telling Dugu Bo not to worry about his whereabouts, and that he would return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well later, asking Dugu Bo to take Dugu Yan back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in advance.
Subsequently, infinite water vapor gathered under Zhou Heng's feet, turning into a mass of pure white clouds; Zhou Heng stepped onto the clouds, which lifted his body.
The next moment, a pair of cyan-green wings stretched out from behind Zhou Heng.
This pair of wings was condensed entirely from soul power and the Life Energy from the Left Leg Bone; every feather was distinct and lifelike.
It propelled Zhou Heng's body, flying in the direction Manxing had provided.
With the clouds lifting Zhou Heng's body to reduce his weight, and a pair of wings propelling his body, the two coordinated with each other, making Zhou Heng's flight speed extremely fast, capable of leaping a thousand meters in an instant.
However, this method was not without its flaws, which was that the flight altitude was not high, only about a hundred meters.
As long as someone paid a little attention, they would be able to notice Zhou Heng.
Moreover, this method consumed a massive amount of soul power, but he had a Soul Core on his person, and the soul power within his body was inexhaustible; the soul power in his body simply could not be used up.
Relying on these two means, Zhou Heng moved forward rapidly.
After flying for a full day, Zhou Heng flew to a spot not far outside a small city; this was the closest small city to the map Manxing had displayed.
Zhou Heng jumped down from the clouds and ran directly on foot; before long, a city appeared in Zhou Heng's field of vision not far ahead.
It was just that the city gates were tightly shut, a large number of anti-cavalry stakes were deployed in front of the gates, the drawbridge had been retracted, and a group of ferocious carnivorous fish lived in the moat, among which there were even one or two ten-year Spirit Beasts.
On the city walls, fully armed soldiers were patrolling, their vigilant eyes watching every corner inside and outside the city walls.
It looked as if this city had entered a state of combat readiness, as if it were prepared to deal with an attacking army at any time.
However, this was the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, separated from the Star Luo Empire by the Star Dou Great Forest; even if it was not a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Star Luo Empire, it was not far off.
Zhou Heng also thought of what Steward Lin had said in the Taizi Fu about Qian Renxue going to the borderlands to audit accounts during these days.
Could it be that Qian Renxue was auditing accounts here?
Could it be that the Asura God took action, influencing the minds of the nobles here, making them rebel and send troops to intercept and kill Qian Renxue?
The Asura God then took the opportunity to strike, leaving a dark trick in Qian Renxue's mind.
Zhou Heng concealed his aura and headed toward the city at a normal speed.
When he appeared within the range of the archers' vision, someone on the city wall immediately began beating a large drum, a troop of soldiers quickly gathered on the city wall, and a large number of archers made preparations.
"Who are you?"
