Just as Notch manually muted Rookie, the Blade of the God of War in his right hand began to show unusual movement.
This divine weapon, which had originally been lying quietly in his palm, now seemed to be awakened by some mysterious force.
The entire blade suddenly burst out with a dazzling blue light, like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly lighting up the dark void around them.
Right after that, the Blade of the God of War began to tremble violently. The shaking became so intense that it soon broke free from Notch's right hand, floating on its own in this empty space as if it were alive.
After breaking free, the Blade of the God of War did not stop. Instead, it trembled even more violently, as if it were resonating strongly with some unknown existence.
Along with this resonance, the surrounding air was also affected and began to show obvious distortions, like a calm lake struck by a massive stone, sending ripples spreading outward in every direction.
As the fluctuations in the surrounding air intensified, an astonishing scene gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
One after another, weapons of different shapes and glowing with strange light began to appear out of thin air around the Blade of the God of War.
At first, they were almost transparent, but as energy from the surrounding air waves continuously poured into them, these weapons became clearer and more solid.
Only now could their true appearances be seen clearly.
There was a giant scythe glowing red; a greatsword glowing purple; a short sword glowing black; and iron swords and stone swords that looked ordinary but all emitted white light… there was even a pair of wings that couldn't really be called weapons…
Finally, once all the surrounding weapons had completely materialized, the Blade of the God of War slowly stopped trembling, as if it had completed its mission.
At that moment, the many weapons formed a magnificent circular formation around the Blade of the God of War.
Each weapon shone with its own unique light, reflecting off one another, forming a breathtaking and mysterious scene.
Clearly, these weapons summoned by the Blade of the God of War were the weapons of Entity 303 and his group.
Seeing this scene, Rookie felt a bit more joy in his heart, 'One step closer!'
Logically speaking, as long as the Blade of the God of War was successfully summoned, it was equivalent to successfully bringing Entity 303 and the others into the inner world.
After all, the Blade of the God of War was the key to the item dimension. Since the blade could appear in the inner world, then the item dimension would also appear in the inner world.
But ever since the accident that happened when Notch tried to withdraw his power, Rookie no longer dared to take anything for granted.
The saying that poor children grow up early really did carry weight.
Since Notch wasn't reliable, Rookie would just have to step up himself.
Rookie looked disgusted as he forcefully pried open Notch's hand that was covering his mouth.
After finally freeing himself, Rookie first shot Notch a fierce glare, then turned his head and stared straight at the shocking scene before him.
After a moment, Rookie seemed to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath, reached out and lightly patted Notch on the shoulder. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, carrying a faint, unreadable smile as he said, "Ready to face the raging storm?"
However, Notch looked at Rookie with a completely confused expression, his eyes full of doubt.
"Huh? What?"
Clearly, Notch had no idea what Rookie meant.
Seeing Notch's innocent expression, Rookie helplessly shrugged, let out a long sigh, and shook his head.
"Ah, forget it, it's nothing… when they come out later, don't say anything."
After saying that, Rookie suddenly seemed to remember something important and quickly added another sentence.
"Oh right, whatever you do, don't make eye contact with the only woman among them later. Got it?"
Hearing this strange warning, Notch suspiciously reached up and scratched the back of his head, blinking as he thought for a moment.
Then suddenly, a look of realization flashed across his face. He immediately showed an understanding, gossip-loving expression and smiled as he nodded at Rookie.
"Hehe, don't worry! I get it! I still understand the principle that 'you don't mess with your brother's wife!'"
After hearing Notch's answer, Rookie almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes practically rolled into the sky. He raised his hand to his mouth and made a zipper-closing gesture.
"I'm pretending I never heard that, and that you never said it. Please, just don't try to be clever later. Just keep your mouth shut!!"
Just as Rookie was giving Notch these instructions, the weapons that had been quietly floating in midair suddenly began to move.
As if controlled by some mysterious force, they all moved in unison and then slashed fiercely toward the surrounding void with thunderous force.
In an instant, a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out. The empty-looking void was actually split open by these weapons as easily as fragile paper. With each fierce slash, enormous bottomless cracks instantly appeared before them.
Although it was impossible to see what exactly lay hidden deep within those cracks, through the deep openings one could clearly feel a dazzling and brilliant light constantly shining out from inside, forming a sharp contrast with this gray and gloomy void.
Before long, as the cracks gradually stabilized, familiar figures began stepping out from within them one after another.
Every face was filled with wild joy and intense excitement, as if they were full of anticipation for the reunion that was about to happen.
However, when they stepped out of the cracks and truly saw the endless void before them, everyone's expressions instantly froze.
Then almost in perfect unison they shouted the same sentence, "What happened?! Where is our king?!"
As they spoke, everyone unconsciously gathered toward Rookie and Notch.
Seeing this, Notch finally understood what Rookie meant by a storm.
There was no need for anyone to say anything more. Just the first sentence they spoke after leaving that space was enough to show Xu Yuan's position in their hearts.
If they were to find out that Xu Yuan had already dissipated in the main world, and that there still wasn't complete certainty about bringing him back…
Then what they would be facing probably wouldn't be a raging storm, but heavenly tribulation…
After figuring out the situation, Notch immediately pressed his lips tightly together and then looked toward Rookie beside him.
He had originally thought Rookie would tell everyone the situation in a more tactful way, but unexpectedly Rookie showed no concern at all and spoke directly.
"He's in trouble. D used the lives of living beings to threaten him into handing over Notch's power."
"You understand him. You probably already know what choice he made."
"After handing over the power, he dissipated."
