Chapter 1548: Approaching
Gu Qing Shan checked his current Soul Points value.
After a few days of battle, he had gained over 220,000 Soul Points.
Then…
Should I give 200,000?
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand forward to transfer Soul Points to the colorful rooster.
“Cooooo—-”
The colorful rooster growled in satisfaction and flapped its wings, feeling a lot more spirited.
It delightedly fixed its comb and jumped in front of the black dog, declaring:
“Brother, don’t worry, Gu Qing Shan’s matter is also my matter”
Boss said: “Please help me take a look, I keep having the feeling that there was something critical that I can’t remember”
“Alright, let me take a look”
The colorful rooster walked around the black dog, then jumped back onto the table and mumbled to itself: “That’s a huge loss, such a cruel matter, I even had to pay 20 Soul Points—– peh, cough cough”
It suddenly appeared tired and sat on the table, breathing heavily: “So tired, I had to spend all my strength to find out everything clearly”
After that, it snuck a glance at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
Crow: “…”
Boss: “…”
Gu Qing Shan’s eyelids twitched and said: “Alright, what exactly happened?”
The colorful rooster looked at the black dog and replied: “This was a matter obscured by Fate, fortunately, he already knew about this, so Fate couldn’t stop my investigation”
“I can’t tell you a lot, otherwise, the other party would notice. I can only tell you one word”
“What is it?” Boss asked.
The colorful rooster spoke:
“Hair”
After saying that, it instantly turned back into a colorful rooster statue and stood still.
Boss appeared to be shaken.
Gu Qing Shan could somewhat guess what had happened.
In the past, Boss had told him that the frozen corpse’s hair and eyeball were hidden in the Eternal Abyss.
He quickly spoke: “No wonder Reneedol dared to meet the giant eyeball, so she had already obtained the frozen corpse’s hair!”
Boss sighed: “Indeed, that should be the case. I found out in the past that the eyeball was incredibly unstable, which was why I had placed it and the seven strands of hair within the Eternal Abyss in order to watch over it”
“Later on, the seven strands of hair became the foundation for what I used to create the Abyssal forms, as they were the weakest part of the frozen corpse’s body”
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Do the strands of hair have their own sentience as well?”
“No, the hair would definitely not gain sentience, they only contained a bit of the frozen corpse’s power” Boss affirmed.
Both of them could see the solemn look in the other’s eye.
“…What is Reneedol trying to do?”
“I don’t know, but I have a bad feeling about it”
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a few moments before suddenly turning to Crow.
Boss instantly understood what he wanted to do at a glance and hurriedly sent his voice: “You should understand, if we let him talk, the situation might…”
“No, that isn’t the case” Gu Qing Shan silently sent his voice in return: “He has a one-in-a-billion unique const.i.tution that allows him to prematurely sense approaching misfortune, and even aid that misfortune to set it in stone. He could even leave room for our survival by adding onto his statements”
Boss thought briefly and admitted: “In that case, this could truly be considered a very powerful ability”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “That’s right. Since we have so little information, rather than randomly guessing, it’s better to let Crow predict the calamity. Not only would we have a better idea of what to expect, but he would also be able to leave us a hope of survival”
“That’s true” Boss was convinced.
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and told Crow: “You heard us, we’re all counting on you now. Take off the metal facemask and please show us your [Weal In – Woe Out] technique”
Crow crossed his arm and impatiently said: “I feel very good wearing this ugly mask, thank you very much. Other than having no choice but to take it off during meals, I don’t want to take it off at all right now”
Gu Qing Shan and Boss exchanged glances.
—–he’s sulking.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed to appear sincere: “Crow, we’re currently out of options right now, you’re the only one who can change that”
Boss also followed up: “That’s right, you’re a true hero, the only expert capable of turning the situation around. Whether or not Gu Qing Shan and I will survive is totally dependent on you”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “It isn’t just us. Did you see how strong Void City Lord Fei Yue was? Or Ominous Demon Xiao Die? But neither of them could change the current circ.u.mstances, only you—– the true man among men, the renowned great Hitman, Curt Death Silver Crow, has that capability”
Gu Qing Shan and Boss both said at once: “Everything truly depends on you now, Crow!”
Crow slowly took off his metal facemask and tilted his chin up: “Since you’re asking so sincerely, I suppose I can help you out just this once”
He took a deep breath.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Nothing.
All three of them opened their eyes wide, staring at each other.
“Where’s your [Weal In – Woe Out] technique?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask.
Crow shrugged, he then tried jumping in place a few times, then circled around the dining table.
“Huh—- what happened to my ability? Why did it suddenly disappear?” he wondered confusedly.
Boss sighed in relief: “Then it seems nothing will happen just yet”
After hearing that, Crow began trembling and slowly lowered his head, causing everyone to no longer see his expression.
“…Nothing… will happen…?”
He spoke with a hoa.r.s.e voice, then looked up straight at Boss.
Boss didn’t answer him.
He could sense some sort of presence emerging from Crow’s body, so he hurriedly signaled to Gu Qing Shan with his eyes.
They saw Crow’s pupils completely dilated, staring straight at Boss with what could only be described as a horrific expression, black feathers also began to fly out of his body and circled in the void of s.p.a.ce.
“Crow, what exactly is going on?” Gu Qing Shan asked with a low tone.
Crow abruptly turned and stared straight at Gu Qing Shan.
It was as if he just saw some sort of frightful monster corpse, his expression became extremely horrified.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and calmed his voice: “Relax, we’re temporarily safe right now; what did you realize? You can tell me”
Crow slowly began to talk with an almost metallic sc.r.a.ping voice:
“She has been cornered by the eyeball”
“Currently, she is absorbing the power hidden within the frozen corpse’s hair, attempting to summon an Apocalypse that surpa.s.ses even [Great Flood] into this Reality”
“Every world hidden within the Pantheon ruins will be destroyed in this battle”
“Everything is happening right as we speak”
“The final chapter of the destruction has already arrived!”
Right after he finished talking, all the supernatural phenomena disappeared.
Crow’s expression returned to normal and said with a troubled expression: “What now? I think my [Weal In – Woe Out] technique isn’t working”
“Wait a minute, don’t you remember what you’ve just said?” Boss instinctively asked.
“What did I say just now?” Crow really had no idea.
Boss turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan silently stood still as he stared at the lines of glowing text in the void of s.p.a.ce:
[You’ve been affected by the prophetic ability: Cemetery]
[Cemetery: Capable of accurately foreseeing upcoming events of ma.s.s death]
Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.
Crow’s first ability is [Tombstone], capable of providing support for the Law of Fate.
Fortunately, this ability was within Crow’s control, so he can correct himself on the spot to change its results.
It’s very rare for Crow to use his second prophetic ability——- [Cemetery]
[Cemetery] cannot be changed at all, as it would accurately foresee any future!
Gu Qing Shan said: “Boss, we need to seize our time, what Crow activated just now was a true prophecy”
“What? Are you saying that he just predicted a true upcoming disaster?” Boss asked.
“That’s right, it will definitely occur, and no one would be able to stop it”
Gu Qing Shan replied.
Just [Great Flood] alone had already erased Void City and pushed everyone in it to a corner of despair.
If Reneedol summoned an Apocalypse that surpa.s.ses even [Great Flood], who would be able to survive?
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
“We can’t waste any more time, we need to find Fei Yue right away!”
“Let’s go!”
The three figures s.h.i.+fted and vanished within the dark tunnel.
…
At another location.
Inside an underground cave hidden below the underground river.
The river flowed across them from above, but no water flowed inside.
Several people were sitting inside the cave.
Fei Yue, Xiao Die, the Ominous Demon Tower Master, and the blind nun.
“Too many people have died, only a few of us remain” the blind nun sighed.
“You’re wrong, there are still quite a few Cultivation-type people within the Heavenly Ark” Xiao Die refuted.
The Ominous Demon Tower Master shook his head: 「 All of the Heavenly Immortals had already died off countless years ago, those who remain can’t even be considered a fighting force 」
Fei Yue just sat there blankly, silently thinking about something.
Xiao Die silently inched closer and whispered: “What’s the matter? You’ve been acting a bit strange recently”
Fei Yue didn’t say anything and simply raised her hand.
Numerous Laws manifested in the void of s.p.a.ce and circled around her wrist to form a glowing ring of light.
A black strand of thread could faintly be seen on the ring of light, it circled around her wrist several times before tying itself to the tip of Fei Yue’s finger, which allowed her to control all the Laws of Reality.
Everyone was shocked.
「 Your power… has far surpa.s.sed all of us 」 the Ominous Demon Tower Master exclaimed.
“It is comparable to even Reneedol”
The blind nun sensed this vast power and commented.
Xiao Die appeared glad and patted Fei Yue’s shoulder: “That’s great, we can finally retaliate against that d.a.m.n woman”
Fei Yue stared closely at the ring of light around her wrist and remained silent for a while.
“For some reason, I feel like my death is quickly approaching”
She softly spoke.
