Chapter 1493: Effort on both sides
Once Laura became serious, no one in the universe would be able to prevent her from doing a certain thing.
Which was using money.
——-the world of the Spire.
The entire world was being changed.
An unprecedentedly grand magic ritual had been erected.
This ritual was using the highest quality of precious magic materials that were lined up from one side of the world to the other.
A small bit the size of a nail of any of the materials here can easily be used to buy 3-5 worlds.
But not, they were being piled up like a mountain, arranged by the wizards of the Spire for the sake of a single ritual.
“Chairman, the ritual has been prepared” a wizard reported.
The Spire Keeper a.s.sociation’s chairman nodded and turned to Laura.
“Can we really provide her power like this?” Laura asked.
The Spire Keeper a.s.sociation’s chairman sighed: “Empress, you’ve created a magic ritual with an unprecedented energy transfer capacity, the only thing we need to do now is to imbue it with enough Soul Points in order to awaken her”
“Are you sure?” Laura was still a bit nervous.
Another white-haired old man replied: “We’re very sure. After all of our scholars’ research, we’ve confirmed that there are only two shortcuts to helping her regain her powers. The first was to collect 10 Inner Plane Cards in order to instantly help her regain her power, the second was to wait for her to acc.u.mulate power on her own, which would be an extremely long process that doesn’t carry any dangers”
“Now that we’re trapped inside the Temporal Oasis, we wouldn’t be able to find 10 Inner Plane Cards”
“So the only choice remaining would be to help her acc.u.mulate the power she needs—– unfortunately, the Card’s power has been drained quite considerably, making it extremely hard to replenish her powers, it will probably take an astronomical amount of Soul Points…”
Having received the answer she wanted, Laura nodded.
“Very well, Ilya, you can begin” she said.
The Bramble Bird General Ilya immediately ordered:
“Everyone, the Empress had ordered the release of the Kingdom’s treasure vault worlds marked #4773 to #8999”
“Pay attention to the Empress’ order and prepare to unload the storage!”
Hearing these words, the Combatants at the scene couldn’t help but look at the very center of the ritual.
There was a pedestal there with a single Card on top of it.
——-Angel of Condemnation, Dusk.
As depicted on the Card, Dusk was still asleep.
When she fell into the Demon Dragon’s hands, to prevent this Card from providing power for Gu Qing Shan to travel through time, Demon Dragon drained all of the Card’s power.
Afterwards, Su Xue Er took this Card from the Holy Church of Fate, then transferred to Gu Qing Shan through Ning Yue Chan.
Sure enough, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t use the Angel of Condemnation’s power to activate the three coins and return to the moment in time when the Spire was destroyed and save Lady Darksea.
Left with no other choice, Gu Qing Shan could only advance his status to become the Cherub of Condemnation, which was barely enough to activate the three coins.
After defeating the Soul Shrieker, he entered a Spirit Wanderer state that allowed him to see the predetermined future of destruction, thus deciding to use the three original coins to return to the past.
Before the Demon Dragon’s death, he had entrusted the three original coins to Gu Qing Shan.
—-the true [Key to the Past].
Because of that, Gu Qing Shan didn’t need to borrow the power of the Great Bramble Tree, the Angel of Condemnation, or the Demon King of [Order] in order to return to the moment when the Wraith realm first declared war against the Eternal Abyss.
Gu Qing Shan had always been a cautious person.
Before he left, in order to prevent any possible dangers, he had entrusted the Angel of Condemnation, Dusk, to Anna.
And so, Little Dusk had always remained completely safe on the Temporal Oasis.
After that.
Strange things began to occur on the Temporal Oasis, the flow of history started to become unclear, the Fate of all living beings also began to veer off course.
Boss resolutely left the Temporal Oasis to return to the Age of Immemorial and fight alongside Gu Qing Shan.
The other residents of the Temporal Oasis also began to come up with solutions.
However, with both Gu Qing Shan and Boss now in the Age of Immemorial, what would they be able to help?
Most likely, this was a feat only an omnipotent G.o.d would be able to achieve.
Everyone was stumped.
Suddenly, Laura remembered this Card.
No one wanted to know what Laura was trying to do.
But she begged Anna to take out the Angel of Condemnation, Dusk, then spared no expenses to try and awaken the girl on the Card!
“Empress, there was a total of 4265 treasure vault worlds that we used to store Soul Points crystals, which are now all ready” Ilya reported.
Laura nodded and made her order:
“Pour them in!”
Following her order, thousands of Bramble Bird Royal Guards that had been stationed at various points of the ritual each created an opening to a treasure vault world.
Beautiful crystals glowing in every color of the rainbow poured out from the sky into the ritual.
As soon as the crystals came into contact with the ritual, they were instantly converted into pure Soul Points and transferred to the center of the ritual, absorbed by the Angel of Condemnation Card.
It almost seemed like there were an unlimited amount of these crystals, filling the entire Temporal Oasis with their glow.
From morning to night, then back to morning again, the glow of the crystals colorfully illuminated everything around them.
“Laura, how’s the situation?” Anna asked.
Laura kept a close eye on the center of the ritual, not turning around as she answered: “It’s still early, I’ve only drained a bit more than 900 treasure vault worlds since I can’t pour them in too quickly”
“Why not?” Anna asked.
“Because we need to wait for one wave of crystals to be absorbed before we can pour in the next wave, otherwise, this world wouldn’t be able to handle the weight and collapse”
Anna silently calculated.
—–a bit more than 900 worlds have been emptied.
In other words, there were still over 3000 worlds full of these Soul Points crystals.
She went back and looked at everyone.
The glow of the crystals pouring down from the sky made Zhang Ying Hao look red, Ye Fei Li look green, Barry purple, Ye Ru Xi blue, and Kitty orange.
“How was it?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
The red glow around his body disappeared and became green.
Everyone’s colors had just been changed again.
Anna stayed silent for a short moment before clicking her tongue: “It’ll probably take a few more days”
Everyone was speechless.
“Seems like she’s serious” Zhang Ying Hao commented.
“Yeah—— and I’ve actually just finished calculating something” Barry sighed.
“Calculating what?” Ye Fei Li asked.
Everyone looked at Barry.
“As you know… I’ve actually fought Soul Shrieker” Barry said.
Everyone nodded.
Barry pondered for a bit and explained: “The Bramble Bird Kingdom’s treasure vaults were actually enough to fill a few dozen worlds, so if Laura had been able to open all of them at once…”
“She would have literally been able to crush Soul Shrieker to death”
“Seriously?” everyone gasped in disbelief.
Barry lit a cigarette, took a drag, then nodded with a complicated expression: “Trust me, I wouldn’t make a mistake on that”
While they were talking, the ritual began to change in an insignificant manner.
As the Soul Points continued to replenish it, the Card at the center of the ritual began to hover.
On the Card, Little Dusk’s closed eyes began to twitch.
…
The Age of Immemorial.
Little Dusk was accompanying the elves and giants to set up a surveillance line around the river bank.
Reneedol had gone somewhere again.
Gu Qing Shan and Boss continued to lie on the ground, slowly regaining their stamina.
He glanced at the extended black thread on his hand without saying anything.
—–the two of them were still being monitored.
The path that [Longing] found was ‘a path that could avoid the apocalyptic junk that would lead further underground’.
The path would still be monitored.
But Gu Qing Shan had a solution for this after night fell.
[Ghostly Shadow of Night] was a Thaumaturgy that only he could use.
In other words, he would have to move alone after this.
“Shroud, you should focus on cultivating to quickly grow stronger” Gu Qing Shan said.
Boss understood as he heard that.
Indeed, with the teenage Shroud’s level of strength, there were actually a lot of things that they wouldn’t be able to interfere with, having no choice but to be led around at the nose by that ent.i.ty.
——for example, the apocalyptic junk that suddenly appeared earlier.
But there needs to be a justifiable reason for abruptly growing stronger.
The one that made the most sense would be cultivation.
Boss also needs to cultivate a little bit to quickly regain his strength.
“Then I’ll go cultivate now” Boss said.
“I’ll come with you” Gu Qing Shan said.
The two of them stood up and moved towards the center of the Isle.
“Have you found a way to go underwater?” Boss silently sent his voice.
“The time isn’t ripe” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He was silently calculating the time.
It is currently afternoon right now.
After a few hours, it’ll be night.
