Chapter 1607

From the moment he saw his own body, the Sixth God Star knew it was over—Anthony had bypassed their contract. They actually didn't need the Boundless Gate to open a rift into the Infinite Realm?

"You don't need to worry about how we did it—just follow the points I told you and report to Lania," Anthony said.

"But..." the Sixth God Star hesitated and asked: "Can you sever my consciousness link?"

Anthony gave a faint smile: "Now we don't even need to pass through the Boundless Gate—why bother severing the consciousness link? Our contract never included severing the consciousness link."

The Sixth God Star fell silent. Indeed, there was no such clause—because passing through the Boundless Gate required severing the consciousness link, but who would've thought they could open a rift into the Infinite Realm without it? That way, severing the link wouldn't be necessary.

If they could break through the barrier, why bother using the Boundless Gate to deceive people? Isn't that just fishing? the Sixth God Star thought angrily. If he were a demon, he'd never sign such a loophole-ridden contract.

But no matter how angry the Sixth God Star was, there was no regret pill to take—Anthony wouldn't be so foolish as to sever his consciousness link; instead, he urged him to contact Lania.

At this very moment, the Sixth God Star dared not contact Lania: "I can't connect—my physical body still bears my star soul imprint seal. Once activated, it will establish a consciousness link with me, tearing my consciousness in half."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Anthony wasn't surprised at all, just a little curious as he asked.

"When I came here, I sealed half of my star soul and consciousness imprint in my physical body. Once activated, it will link with me, allowing me to transfer my consciousness back instantly via the consciousness link. But now, since you won't sever my consciousness link, if activated, I'll be torn in half," the Sixth God Star explained.

Anthony exclaimed in surprise: "Really? Then what do we do now?"

The Sixth God Star gave him a resentful look and said: "You sever my consciousness link for me."

Anthony shook his head: "No."

The Sixth God Star also knew it was impossible—without contractual restraints, how could the other party possibly sever the consciousness link? But facing this situation, he had a backup plan: he had sealed half of his star soul in his physical body.

As long as he sends a signal from this side, the star soul on the other side will activate, and through the consciousness link between star souls, instantly retrieve his consciousness. If it can't be retrieved, this side's star soul will dissipate, and the other half will activate, reclaiming control of his physical body.

The idea was sound, but the Sixth God Star now found himself in the same predicament as a ghost tree sapling: he would dissipate.

Don't say the other half of your star soul is still you—once that half activates, you'll die, and the Sixth God Star doesn't want to die.

Realizing he couldn't sever the consciousness link and didn't want to die, the Sixth God Star's mindset shifted rapidly: "I can't die—I must go back to undo the seal and reclaim my other half of star soul."

"Oh, can you make it back in time? When you came, you flew the Star Rainbow Bridge for over two months—now there aren't enough dark stars to build one with you. How long would it take you to return?" Anthony asked.

The Sixth God Star looked at Anthony and said: "Relying on the Star Rainbow Bridge won't get us there in time—I hope you can relocate the Boundless Gate and walk from this side of the Infinite Realm."

"Relocate the Boundless Gate? Walk from this side of the Infinite Realm?" Anthony's heart stirred: "How do we relocate it?"

The Sixth God Star glanced up and down at Anthony and said: "You've never relocated the Boundless Gate before?"

Anthony shook his head: "No."

The Sixth God Star said with a hint of helplessness: "Besides being the origin of life, the Infinite Realm is also a high-speed passage in the void. We move at a hundred knots here, which corresponds to a thousand knots in the outside world. So if we retract the Boundless Gate here, relocate it a hundred knots outward, and reopen it, the other end of the Boundless Gate can appear a thousand knots away in the outside world."

"Really?" Anthony's heart jumped: "If the outside world has a Boundless Gate, can it also open a passage to this side?"

The Sixth God Star said: "No—because this place is the origin of life, it can open a gate to the outside world, but if it's the outside world, both sides must open it together to activate the Boundless Gate."

"Why? What exactly is the origin of life?" Anthony asked.

"Because of the barrier—this barrier is one-way: easy to open from inside, hard from outside." As he said this, the Sixth God Star's tone suddenly shifted: "You're actually not ghost guides, are you?"

Anthony neither admitted nor denied it, but countered: "Why do you think that?"

"You seem to know nothing—don't even know how to use the Boundless Gate, nor that the Infinite Wall opens only one-way," the Sixth God Star said.

Anthony said: "Can't it be because we're newly born ghost guides?"

"Only those who can guide foreign ghosts are true ghost guides—if you can't guide foreign ghosts, you're at most just ghosts," the Sixth God Star scoffed.

Anthony gave a faint smile: "Fine, we're ghosts. Teach me how to relocate the Boundless Gate—if I move it inside, will the outside gate still stay in its original place?"

"So you need to first retract the outside Boundless Gate," the Sixth God Star said.

Following the Sixth God Star's guidance, when Anthony opened the Boundless Gate, he bent the door backward, swung the door panel around, and reclosed it from the opposite direction.

With a snap, then stepping out through the triangular gap and looking, the outside Boundless Gate had already vanished.

"Wow, so this is how the Boundless Gate is used." In the soul network, Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Ursman also sighed: "Yeah, if no one had pointed it out, who'd know it could still loop around and close in reverse? Reverse closing can pull the outside gate in—if open, and you loop forward once before closing, what would change?"

Nai Ge Li Si said: "Seems like you can't go forward—when opening, you can only push outward, not inward, so there's no such thing as forward opening."

While they discussed this, Anthony had already picked up the boundary beads of the Boundless Gate and said: "Alright, where should we open it now to reach your physical body's location?"

The Sixth God Star's expression stiffened, and he hesitated: "You don't have a star point chart of the Infinite Realm, do you?"

"No—what is that?" Anthony asked, confused.

The Sixth God Star gave a bitter smile—no star point chart, let alone star coordinates. Thinking this, he said: "Do you have another Boundless Gate here? It doesn't need to connect to the outside world—just needs to link with our gate. Then we can use that other gate to determine direction and scale."

"Use another Boundless Gate, then three-point positioning to determine direction and scale, then calculate the corresponding star position of your physical body in the outside world relative to here?" Anthony said while asking in the soul network: "Lord Nai Ge, is this feasible?"

"Feasible, but we don't have another Boundless Gate—no, half a gate. We don't need to connect to the outside world—half a gate is enough. Isn't there half a gate at Ange's Fortress?" Nai Ge Li Si said.

At that moment, a strong information wave came from the direction of the Infinite Void Chasm: "Your Grace Ange, I am the Star Migrator, warning you—a god star is approaching your position, possibly the Ange's Fortress you mentioned."

"Ange's Fortress arrived? Wasn't it supposed to take sixty years to fly? Only eleven years have passed—how did it get here so fast?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, both startled and delighted.
