Chapter 1534: Stars
The empty world completely disappeared.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan returned to the frozen world, he didn’t even waste a single second before plunging the Heaven sword into the icy ground beneath.
“Return to 54,700 years ago!” he shouted.
An immense invisible force gathered around his body, turning into a gigantic column of fog that broke through the sky above, exposing even the s.p.a.ce Vortex outside.
Soul Points was originally invisible, but the phenomenon manifested by the mere appearance of 10 billion Soul Points was more than enough to cause anyone’s expression to warp!
The Heaven sword pierced deeply into the icy ground.
Tick, tock, tick, tock——-
One minute and thirty two seconds remained.
A faint, almost undetectable ‘something’ appeared below the ice.
A frightening sensation struck all of their bodies.
This sensation had far surpa.s.sed even Gu Qing Shan’s presence, manifesting as an almost solid fear of death.
The void monsters retreated even further.
「 Oh no, it seems to be moving 」
『 What do we do now? 』
「 One of us was killed by that youngster again just now 」
『 d.a.m.n it, this place is getting increasingly more dangerous! 』
They quickly communicated with clear expressions of worry on their faces.
Suddenly, the entire frozen world began to tremble as a crack appeared on the surface of the ice.
『 Its consciousness is spreading—— 』
The Matriarch of Myriad Earths cried out as half her body turned to ash.
It spat up blood, then shot up and away through the sky, vanis.h.i.+ng in an instant.
「 Oh no, we need to leave right away 」another Deity corpse wiped the sweat from its head and hurriedly called out.
“Don’t go yet, our covenant had yet to be fulfilled” Reneedol hurriedly tried to stop them.
「 It’s impossible! Reneedol, you need to understand, the few of us are so powerful that it felt a faint bit of hostility towards us—— that alone is more than enough to kill us! 」the Judge of Living Beings Fate furiously shouted.
Reneedol also appeared confused but waved her hands to summon the two Deities of Fate back to protect her.
「 What else is there to talk about, go——– 」the other monster called out.
Sha sha!
The two of them shot away as streaks of light through the sky and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the tremor from the ground suddenly went silent.
“That’s right, it was this sensation, if anyone tried to offend it again, it would immediately erupt” Boss silently sensed it and sent his voice.
Gu Qing Shan solemnly told him: “Then it’s time—— Boss, come out now”
Being someone of Boss’ caliber, as long as it doesn’t concern Reneedol, he’s always very quick on the uptake.
“Give me a carrier for my soul, I’ll come out right away” he replied.
Gu Qing Shan said: “I have a scepter”
“That won’t do” Boss resolutely replied, “I can’t imbue my soul into a weapon, it must be a living creature”
“A living being from me? I only have Black Hound” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Is it very urgent?” Boss noticed this and asked.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the blood-colored clock in front of his eyes and sent his voice: “We only have one minute remaining. After this period, everything will be destroyed”
Boss also felt the pressure and said: “Then it can’t be helped, we’ll leave first——- summon Black Hound, I can divide its body into two and temporarily put my soul into one of them”
Gu Qing Shan released a ma.s.s of black flames that manifested into Black Hound.
Boss quickly flipped through the Book of Prophesized Destinies, ripped out four pages from it, then tossed it towards Black Hound.
The four pages circled around Black Hound, absorbing a lot of black flames from it, then manifested as a second black dog.
A second later, Boss swiftly recited the incantation.
Boss’ image exited Shroud’s body and entered the new black dog’s body.
Shroud stood still, blinked a few times, then looked around and appeared shocked: “Huh? Rhode, what’s going on here? Why are there so many monsters?”
Gu Qing Shan looked at him, then at the black dog.
“I don’t know either, something seemed to have occurred”
He looked at Shroud and replied.
This young man was Boss when he was still young.
He will live through Boss’ past, experience everything that he would have to experience, until a day when——-
He will be killed by Reneedol, fall into the Eternal Abyss, then drift to the 900 million World Layers where I would save him with an Occultism treasure.
——-that is something of the distant future.
For now, he will have to be accompanied by someone with a cold heart, going through countless things together.
This isn’t fair.
But it is history.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and shouted: “Reneedol!”
Reneedol had been paying attention, so she clearly saw everything that just occurred.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
Only fifty three seconds remained.
“Rhode, what kind of tricks are you playing now?” she questioned cautiously.
——-he somehow managed to kill two extremely powerful void monsters, then made an unfamiliar figure fly out of Shroud’s body.
This person, Rhode, is truly someone clouded in mystery, I can’t see through his trump cards at all.
Gu Qing Shan patted Shroud’s shoulder and said: “I have something that I’m going to give Shroud”
Shroud shook his head and sincerely said: “Rhode, I have the Book of Prophesized Destinies and plenty of treasures from the Overlord of Radiance, but you don’t have anything good at all—– you’re the Death G.o.d, you should at least keep something for yourself to use”
Gu Qing Shan’s lips twitched, then squeezed out a smile.
He took out a key that gave off faint dark light.
——-the [Key of Myriad Deities’ Consent]
This was the treasure that Lachesis used to hide the truth.
Inside the divine palace of Fate, Gu Qing Shan had once tested its characteristics in front of Reneedol.
Sure enough.
As soon as he took out this key, Reneedol’s gaze was locked on it.
She stared closely at the key, unable to move her eyes away.
Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed in his mind, then shoved the key into Shroud’s hands.
“This is the [Key of Myriad Deities’ Consent]” he shouted out loud, “Only an unrestrained Deity not under the Lord of Infinite Origins’ control would be able to use this key and enter the Dusty World to retrieve the Divine Artifact of the Deity of Fate, Lachesis”
“Deity of Fate? Lachesis?” Shroud appeared surprised.
“Indeed, if anyone other than an unrestrained Deity took hold of it, it will automatically return to the hands of the one who previously possessed it” Gu Qing Shan explained.
“No, no no, you should keep such a precious thing to yourself” Shroud hurriedly refused.
Gu Qing Shan pushed his hand back and muttered: “I have to leave now. From today onwards, you will be the only and last unrestrained Deity in the entire world”
“Where are you going?” Shroud worriedly asked.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
Twenty seconds left!
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Someday, we will meet again”
Next to him, the black dog lowered its head.
Bam!
Gu Qing Shan abruptly struck the back of Shroud’s neck with his hand.
Shroud instantly fell unconscious.
Gu Qing Shan turned to Scarlet and Little Dusk, quickly sending his voice to them: “Remember this, as long as you remain by Shroud’s side from now on, nothing will happen to you”
Little Dusk appeared confused, still unable to react.
Scarlet was shocked.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, then replied: “A certain moment in the future, an era when [Order] and [Chaos] struggle for power, when the Eternal Abyss clash in war against the Wraith realm”
Fifteen seconds!
A void suddenly called out from the void of s.p.a.ce:
“Unbelievable! How unbelievable! You actually managed to achieve this, you need to hurry and leave now, otherwise, it would be too late!”
——it was the giant corpse’s voice.
At the same time, a jade plate fell from the sky, which Gu Qing Shan caught in his hand.
A line of glowing text appeared:
[You’ve obtained the sixth Sealing Token]
[The period of history shrouded in fog had been completely set in stone]
[You’re about to return to the future!]
Twelve seconds!
All six Sealing Tokens manifested at once.
They crashed through the void of s.p.a.ce, breaking open a large hole.
The black dog instantly turned into flames and entered Gu Qing Shan’s body.
——Gu Qing Shan’s body shook as he was sucked up into the hole.
Right as he was about to enter the hole in the void, Reneedol managed to realize what had happened.
The five powerful void monsters were no longer here.
The frozen corpse is in a highly dangerous state of half-awakening.
The [Key of Myriad Deities’ Consent] was now in Shroud’s hand, and he was the only one who could use it.
——-he’s also the overseer of the frozen corpse’s seal, so if something happened to him, everyone would die as well.
Reneedol furiously shouted: “I did so much in order to resist Fate, but you’re trying to restrain me by Fate once again!”
At this point, she seemed to have broken through some sort of shackles as an unprecedented dark shadow manifested around her.
Reneedol hurriedly recited:
“Apocalypse of legend, the irreversible source of destruction, the calamity of [Great Flood]…”
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
Seven seconds!
The entire frozen world had become empty.
Someone seemed to have descended.
——the legendary Apocalypse!
Gu Qing Shan was only a few meters away from the hole in the void, but his body was stopped in mid-air, unable to move at all.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword continuously swung around his body, but it felt as if it was attacking an endless torrent of water, only allowing Gu Qing Shan to move a little bit at a time.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
Six seconds—–
“Die!” Reneedol angrily screamed.
Another voice abruptly rang out to drown out her scream:
“Countless stars fall, life subst.i.tution!”
——-it was Scarlet.
At some unknown point, her entire body had turned into countless stars as she stood where originally did.
In the sky, Gu Qing Shan instantly regained his freedom and hurriedly flew towards the hole in the void again.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
“Scarlet!” Gu Qing Shan shouted.
“Rhode, make sure to live well!”
Scarlet also shouted back at him with a gaze of infinite longing that closely followed Gu Qing Shan’s figure.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t listen to you, the third ability of Scorpio was also protection——- because I wanted to protect you”
She smiled at him.
Tick, tock.
Tick, tock.
The countdown reached zero.
Scarlet’s entire body turned into stars and disappeared completely from the world.
