Chapter 1439: Entering Law
Gu Qing Shan had countless questions in his mind, but knowing that he didn’t have much time whenever he visited the giant corpse, he immediately asked: “Why exactly are the Law Behemoths fighting?”
The giant corpse replied: “The world spirit had divided and manifested into many Law Behemoths. In times of peace, they would stimulate the growth and diversity of the world, but now that the Behemoths have realized the incoming threat, they have begun to compete for the right to lead”
He seemed to chuckle, then continued:
“A cl.u.s.ter of flames contains both the Law of Light and the Law of Destruction, then does the initiative of this flame fall towards Light or towards Destruction?”
“Before, while there had always been conflicts between the Law Behemoths, there had only been insignificant skirmishes. But now that it is the era of the apocalyptic calamity, they need to select a sovereign who will lead all the Behemoths and living beings to resist the Apocalypses”
“So, have they decided on a leader?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The giant corpse replied: “They have not——- during their war, they found out that if they continued this way, even before the Apocalypses descended, the world would have already been broken into innumerable pieces”
“Then——-”
“Ignore them. They will eventually find a suitable way to unite the powers of the world”
At this point, the giant corpse’s tone became more serious: “And now, I have something else I need to tell you”
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit shaken and asked: “What is it?”
“You and I are currently both living in an obscured period of history, one whose process and details have yet to become determined” the giant corpse said.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit confused and said: “How is that possible? According to the Laws of Causality, if the process isn’t determined, then what would happen to everything in the future? Illusions?”
The giant corpse explained: “Causality is determined, the future outcome had also been determined, but the process is actually the most important aspect of it all—— imagine it like a fish who swam through the River of Fate from upstream to downstream, but we do not know what had happened to it on the way”
“What difference does it make?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The giant corpse replied with a chilling tone:
“As you can imagine, we only know that the fish has arrived downstream, but we don’t know if it had been replaced halfway through, or someone had caught it and placed something inside its belly, or if there were any ferocious pursuers who followed it there”
Gu Qing Shan was startled, then slowly understood.
This was a completely hidden period of history where no one knew what happened.
After that—–
Reneedol killed all the Deities and headed into the Dusty World.
After the Inner Plane was destroyed, a terrifying monster whose background was unknown had taken over that place.
Boss’ original body was split in half, one half transformed into the Eternal Abyss, the other half became sealed inside the dark tunnel.
The cause of all of this was a complete mystery.
What was actually hiding in the fog to manipulate it all?
An ent.i.ty?
Or an unknown Fate?
If that’s the case, then I don’t actually know anything at all.
The more Gu Qing Shan thought about it, the more cold sweat he could feel on his back.
The giant corpse continued: “There, you’ve understood. Causality is a very simple matter, but if we do not know the process, then there is no way for us to see through the truth behind the Causality”
“What do you think I should do now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The giant corpse replied: “The Lord of Infinite Origins had also realized the hints of this and thus made a certain correct decision during the fog of history, which was to forge the six Sealing Tokens within the ruins of the Pantheon”
“Gu Qing Shan, you must obtain these six Sealing Tokens no matter what, they must not come into the possession of anyone else”
“As you hold the seals, then no matter what happened in history, it would still be under your control. There would then be no issues”
The giant corpse paused for a brief moment, then continued: “How unfortunate, with my current powers, I can only tell you so much, you must leave now”
Following his words, a flash of blinding light manifested deep above the sky.
It was a violent arc of lightning that had struck the top of the gigantic bronze pillar.
Almost immediately, the entire bronze pillar was enveloped in lightning, with smaller rays of electricity arcing from it.
Boom!
The corpse remained still without saying another word, letting the lightning envelop him.
Gu Qing Shan saw a black piece of scale armor detaching from the corpse and flew in front of him.
The giant corpse’s voice was heard again:
“I can’t aid you any further”
“This is the evolution seal of [Mystery of All Beings Equal], take it”
“It will allow you to completely transform into a certain living being, even if your opponent has the power of Fate, they would not be able to detect you”
The scale directly entered Gu Qing Shan’s body.
Lines of glowing text swiftly appeared on the War G.o.d UI:
[You’ve obtained the supplement Laws of the Mystery of All Beings Equal]
[Your Mystery of All Beings Equal is evolving]
[This Mystery has been reinforced with a unique constructed Law, unless this Law is destroyed, no living being will be able to detect the real you]
[3]
[2]
[1]
[Your exclusive Law: All Living Beings Equal, has been constructed]
[This Law has the property of exclusivity, without your permission, no one would be able to copy, steal, borrow, or utilize it]
[As you command this Law, any low-levelled disguises, illusions, or transformation techniques would not be able to deceive you]
Gu Qing Shan felt glad.
Reneedol had gotten ahold of all my powers, but now, [Mystery of All Beings Equal] has evolved again.
It had become an exclusive Law.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the giant corpse and loudly called out: “Thank you, when I return to the future, I’ll definitely think of a way to save you——”
Hoh!
An immense pulling force abruptly manifested on Gu Qing Shan’s body and instantly pulled him away from this world.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared almost right away.
The giant corpse continued to be enveloped in the destructive lightning without uttering a single word for a very long time.
…
Within the concealment formation array.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce, landing on the gra.s.s.
The other three young men and women had also just awoken.
After the Laws recovered, they regained their powers and woke up much earlier than Gu Qing Shan had predicted.
The young man among them saw Gu Qing Shan suddenly reappearing and asked full of admiration: “Rhode, so you were able to enter the World of Laws?”
Gu Qing Shan looked at everyone, only to see them all, including Shroud, focusing on him.
There had always been very few people who could enter the World of Laws, and among the remnant members of the World Valley, Shroud was the only one capable of this.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Yes, but after I entered, I didn’t see any Law Behemoths. I only heard a voice that told me to tell Shroud——”
He made a very serious expression: “Don’t continue to listen to the voices, they will only bring forth calamity”
Hearing him, Shroud displayed an understanding expression.
“I had also a.s.sumed that to be the case… truthfully, I’ve been able to sense some sort of threat recently…” he muttered to himself.
“Don’t mind me for now, hurry and heal Shroud” Gu Qing Shan urged.
The healing expert girl regained her senses, stood up, then rushed up to Shroud and began using a healing technique.
“My powers have returned—— I can guarantee to be able to fully heal Shroud’s wounds within a few more days” the girl delightedly said.
The other young man and woman also realized that their powers were recovering.
Having been sufficiently healed, Shroud’s pained expression slowly subsided, he slowly closed his eyes exhaustedly, perhaps preparing to sleep again.
As the others saw this, they said nothing and simply stood guard cautiously.
Suddenly, Shroud reopened his eyes and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
“What’s the matter?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Rhode, since you were able to enter the World of Laws, you’ve definitely drawn the attention of the Law Behemoths, so a Behemoth should have already arrived to form a covenant with you, why haven’t they arrived yet?” Shroud confusedly asked.
“Ahaha, I’m not really hopeful about that” Gu Qing Shan played dumb to gloss this over.
——-the giant corpse directly pulled him towards his faraway sealed-off world, so he didn’t appear in the World of Laws for even a second.
Perhaps this was why the Law Behemoths didn’t notice me?
Shroud refuted: “That can’t be true. As long as you’ve entered the World of Laws, the Behemoths would definitely notice you, the key point is… which Behemoth favors you”
Since they were on this topic, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit interested.
“Shroud, which Law Behemoth did you form a covenant with?” he asked.
“The Behemoth who formed a covenant with me was the manifestation of the Law of Radiance——- it sensed that my power and it was well-suited, so I was chosen” Shroud replied.
“Well-suited…” Gu Qing Shan repeated that.
“Indeed, one of the Laws must be well-suited with you, but I don’t know what it would be” Shroud continued.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then said: “I have an idea”
A second later, boundless black flames descended from above onto his body.
