Chapter 367 Opening the Gate

"Do your best to find Nagash's trace. Once you find him, report to me immediately. Ferrus and I will go together."

Vukan said.

"Don't worry, we already know the approximate location of the Valaya Gate. No matter what, Nagash will go there eventually. We just need to wait patiently!"

Ludwig seemed confident that everything was going according to plan.

After taking care of some important government affairs, Vulkan and Ferrus went to the secret room where the gate was stored.

"Volkan, Ferrus, be prepared. We don't know what is behind the gate yet. If something unexpected happens, just destroy it."

After Zhang Heng gave the two people instructions, he mobilized the newly acquired divine power. He did not inject all of the divine power directly, but instead tested it bit by bit.

After one tenth of the divine power was injected, the boundary gate that had been silent all this time finally began to move.

Under the influence of an unknown force, a layer of transparent film-like substance with continuous ripples formed in the center of the gate.

The space in the center is distorted.

"Father, this is obviously a space channel, but I don't know where it connects to. Let me go in first. I am an immortal. Even if something unexpected happens, I can be resurrected again!"

Wokan took the initiative to speak, and it was obvious that Wokan was the most suitable person present.

"Okay, Wokan, be careful. If there is any problem, return it immediately!"

Vulkan picked up his weapon and walked into the gate with firm steps.

After a space fluctuation, Wokan completely disappeared in the secret room.

Zhang Heng and Ferrus were both waiting nervously, but to their surprise, Volkan's voice came from Ferrus' communicator.

"Vokkan! Is that you? Where have you been teleported to?!"

"Ferus, I seem to have been teleported to the Ancient Creation below Middenheim... This thing looks like a webway-like existence, connecting all places."

Soon Yurik's voice was heard on the communicator.

"What's going on? Are you Vokhan? How did you break through the barrier I set up? This is impossible!"

When the Old Ones' ruins beneath Middenheim began to operate, Ulric noticed it immediately.

But Zhang Heng was very dissatisfied with the result... He spent so much effort and divine power, and the only thing he got was a portal?

Isn’t this effect too useless?
"Ferus, stay here, I'll go explain this to Yurik!"

After saying this, Zhang Heng was also ready to step into the gate. He didn't believe that the creation used by the ancient saints to lead to other worlds had only this use.

As Zhang Heng stepped in, he also felt a strange sensation of spatial distortion.

However, Ferrus outside had a drastic change of expression. The transparent substance that once distorted the space disappeared, and the gate also stopped working. Ferrus immediately stepped forward to check, but found that the gate was completely quiet at this time. No matter how hard he tried, he could not open the gate again.

"Volkan! The gate has stopped working! My father is missing!!!"

"What!" Wokan was shocked!
After stepping into the gate, Zhang Heng found himself walking in a colorful passage. The surrounding space seemed to have a barrier that blocked the entry of external substances and prevented people in the passage from going out.

"Why does the transmission take so long? Vulkan will obviously come out of Middenheim's gate soon. It should only take one or two seconds at most, but now it's almost one or two minutes!"

Zhang Heng looked back and found that the entrance had disappeared.

"Where's the door?! Where did the door go?! Damn it, I can't go back!!!"

Zhang Heng panicked. How come he had no way out all of a sudden? Where were they sending me?!

Just when Zhang Heng was at a loss, the passage in front of him seemed to have finally reached an end. He drew his weapon and walked forward vigilantly.

With nowhere else to go, he could only try to walk out.

The moment he stepped out with both feet, everything in front of Zhang Heng changed. He found himself as if he had entered an extremely dark universe without even any light.

Zhang Heng was in a floating state at this time. "Where is this? Where on earth is this gate taking me?"

Zhang Heng even tried to return to his own body but couldn't do it, as if this place was completely disconnected from both the Middle Ages and his own world.

“I won’t be trapped here and die.”

"Zhang Heng? Huh? How come I can suddenly sense you in the physical universe?"

The emperor's voice suddenly sounded, but was soon interrupted.

Just as Zhang Heng was surprised by the emperor's words, a little light appeared in the distance, and this light was rapidly growing bigger.

The moment Zhang Heng saw the light, he was delighted. No matter what it was, at least it existed here. But he soon regretted it. As the light gradually grew bigger, Zhang Heng finally realized that this thing was not light at all.

From a distance, the other side looked like a constellation, a huge collection of countless stars shining with dazzling light. But as he got closer and closer, Zhang Heng felt the gaze from these huge stars.

"Is this alive? This thing is actually alive?"

It wasn't that the other party was getting brighter, but that it was getting closer and closer to him. It didn't take long before the existence in front of him filled Zhang Heng's field of vision. Even a 40k Titan or a battleship seemed small in front of it. The other party was like a huge mountain!
Zhang Heng felt that perhaps only the former Star Gods in 40k could be compared to him.

The object in front of him stopped, as if looking at Zhang Heng curiously, looking at this creature he had never seen before.

Zhang Heng couldn't help swallowing and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, determined to fight to the end even if he died.

However, what he waited for in the end was not an attack, but a voice from the other party that came into his brain.

"Are you human?"

"Huh? You know about the existence of humans?"

Zhang Heng said incredulously.

"Some wanderers once told me about your existence. They also used your method to get here, but they left. They said they were going to find the power to save a world."

Zhang Heng guessed after listening to the other party's words that it was talking about the ancient sage!
"What kind of being are you..."

"Me? I don't know. I have existed in this void since I gained consciousness. I traveled to various worlds. The creatures in some worlds and my descendants often call me Draxion."

Zhang Heng's head suddenly shook when he heard the name.

"The Zodiac Beast, Draxion, the one who grabbed the fragments of the Old World after the destruction of the Middle Ages and helped Sigmar complete the Stormcast Eternals. He is also Sigmar's friend?"

Zhang Heng didn't expect that after entering the boundary gate, he would meet an important person in the future!
"Human. I sense an extraordinary aura from you. You are obviously not that powerful. Are you really still a human? Can you tell me about the world you live in? There has been nothing new in this endless void that can interest me for a long time."

Draxion asked.

However, just when Zhang Heng wanted to continue talking with him, the gate that had disappeared opened again. Looking at the gate that appeared behind him, Zhang Heng did not dare to stay.

"Draxion, I have to go back first! Perhaps we will have a chance to continue communicating later. How can I find you?"

After saying this, a metal object with obvious spatial properties separated from Draxion's body and was delivered to Zhang Heng.

"This is a part of my body. You can find me by holding it. Time has no concept to me. I am willing to continue waiting for you here for your story.

"Okay, Draxion, I'll be back soon! Wait for me!"

After saying that, Zhang Heng walked back to the gate without looking back. This time, he finally did not appear in some other strange place, but returned to Ferrus' side.

However, Ferrus' body was shriveled at this time.

"Ferus? What's wrong with you!?"

"Father, I just used the Wind of Death to continuously inject magic power into the gate, and fortunately, it succeeded in opening the gate."

Zhang Heng then realized that Ferrus had almost drained himself, and the quality of his magic power was still not enough compared to divine power.

The originally opened gate was closed again because the magic power provided by Ferrus was consumed.
