Her gaze grew even colder. In the next moment, with a flicker of her figure, she vanished from the passage without a trace.
"Human, you share a profound connection with my abyss. We will meet again."
Only a few faint words were left behind.
As her form disappeared into the cave, beams of light swept by, causing a large number of abyssal creatures to dissolve into vapor, shattering into drifting currents. Along with the departure of the gray-haired woman, even the abyssal tide paused momentarily.
Gu You looked down and noticed several gray-white marks stretching from his chest up to his neck.
'What the...? That was just a collision, wasn't it? How did this happen?'
Though he didn't feel anything wrong physically, he had a bad feeling about it.
'Another abyssal creature with power equal to a human Limit Douluo.'
The sudden halt in the abyssal offensive gave everyone a moment to breathe, but the power that gray-haired woman had shown left a lingering chill in everyone's hearts.
A flash of silver light. The Blood God descended before Gu You. To his surprise, a female voice came from behind the mask. Cold and crisp—like biting into chilled watermelon on a winter day.
"Come with me." As she spoke, she grabbed Gu You without ceremony and whisked him out of the cave.
Long Yuxue and Jiang Wuyue watched them leave, exchanging puzzled glances. What had just happened had completely shattered their understanding of abyssal creatures.
Outside the cave, the Blood God said, "Follow me."
Gu You stepped through the air behind her.
In a flash, she landed in an inconspicuous courtyard behind the command post. From the outside, it looked no different from the rest of the base.
As she touched down, her battle armor retracted into streams of silver light and vanished into her body.
Gu You followed behind.
Standing behind her, he could only see her back—pure white military uniform, a general's star on her shoulder. She was a Major General. Short, silvery-white hair, a straight back, and a slim waist.
"Come with me." She glanced back at Gu You, revealing her face to him.
'What the hell? Who is she supposed to be?'
Her icy blue eyes paired with her silver hair gave her an unusual look. It was different from the silver hair he remembered on Gu Yue—hers had a crystalline sheen, while this woman's hair was whiter and smoother.
Gu You followed the female Blood God inside. The air was warmer, making one feel relaxed. Inside the building, it was cramped, with only a single elevator straight ahead.
A beam of light appeared. The Blood God's Blood God Ring lit up, connecting with the elevator. She waved her hand, and a halo from her clearly higher-grade Blood God Ring enveloped Gu You.
Then she stepped into the elevator.
As the door opened, Gu You quickly followed.
There were no buttons inside. As soon as the door closed, the elevator began to descend.
About ten seconds later, the elevator stopped. They entered a circular hall.
All around were three tiers of monitors showing the status of various cave points. This had to be the central surveillance hub of the abyssal battlefield.
"Welcome to the Blood God Camp. You may call me Blood Eight. Among the nine Blood Gods, I rank eighth. The ranking is based on strength, not age." Her voice was as cold as ever.
"Number Eight—I mean, Commander, hello."
Blood Eight frowned, suppressing irritation, then waved her hand and tapped her Blood God Ring.
The surrounding screens split open, revealing several doors. Four of them opened, and four people emerged.
"What's the matter, Little Eight?" A lazy voice called out. A young-looking man about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old appeared, stretching as he walked. He looked casual and carefree, but the golden general's star on his shoulder sparkled just the same.
Blood Eight's face darkened. "Blood Seven, I won't repeat myself. Don't call me Little Eight. It's Blood Eight."
Blood Seven chuckled. "Alright, alright! We're all comrades here, no need to be so stiff."
"Hmph!" Blood Eight snorted coldly.
The other three also walked over. One of them, a woman who looked around fifty, said, "Blood Seven, you'd better watch that mouth. Once Blood Eight surpasses you, I'll be curious to see if you can still act this smug."
Blood Seven grinned. "That's what drives me to train harder, isn't it? Third Sister, if that day really comes, you'll have to protect me."
Blood Three shook her head with a smile, but her eyes turned to Gu You. "Blood Eight, you brought a new recruit. Is he really that promising?"
Blood Eight nodded. "He's... special. Let's look at the footage first—this is from Cave Six." As she spoke, she walked to a console and began operating it.
Gu You gave a standard salute. "Greetings, Commanders."
Blood Three smiled gently. "No need to be so tense. The Blood God Camp is different from other places—we're less bound by rules here. I'm Blood Three. This is Blood Five, Blood Six, and Blood Seven. You've met Blood Eight. Normally, there are only nine of us in the Blood God Camp. Welcome aboard. Frankly, I've heard about you. I've had some history with Leng Yaozhu. If she recommended you, that means your talent is already worthy."
Blood Five and Blood Six were both men. Blood Five was tall and muscular with dark skin, like a walking iron tower. Blood Six, in contrast, was short and thin, with the most ordinary appearance—harmless, almost nonexistent, with a gentle smile. But Gu You noticed his hands were particularly long and his lean frame carried a subtle edge.
'A sensitive-assault type Super Douluo...'
"So you're recommended by Senior Tianfeng? Kid, what kind of background do you have?" Blood Seven looked astonished.
"Enough chatting—come take a look at this," Blood Eight called out. Her voice drew everyone's attention.
They all gathered around the screen, which began playing the footage of Gu You's battle in the cave.
As the battle played out, their expressions gradually changed. At first, they were relaxed and casual. But soon, Blood Seven's grin faded. Blood Five remained as still as a statue. Blood Six's eyes shimmered with surprise...
