Chapter 1693 - The Book Of The Sea!
The vision of Huang Quan gradually faded away, leaving only Su Xue Er behind.
She stood alone in the middle of the yellow fog, gazing straight at Gu Qing Shan.
"Qing Shan, Impartial G.o.ddess and I have been traveling against the flow in the River of Time, hoping to give you some support at the origin of Time"
"But we made a mistake"
Gu Qing Shan silently observed her without saying anything.
------this was clearly the vision of a distant past, so he wouldn"t be able to communicate with Su Xue Er at all and only hear the information that she wanted to relay.
Su Xue Er continued: "Although my evolution has reached an unprecedented height, I still could not achieve that we had expected to"
"After all, other than us, there were also the frozen corpse, the various Apocalypses, as well as other unspeakable ent.i.ties who were after the secret of this Reality Gate"
"They do not know anything about this secret, but we know a little bit, so we definitely cannot rouse their suspicion, otherwise it would be the end for everything"
"In the end, we only managed to do a single thing…"
"Once you put both pendants of the Death G.o.d into the Condemnation Codex, you will understand everything"
"Ok, I"ve already said everything I need to say, so now let"s talk about something off-topic"
Su Xue Er continued: "From the Age of Immemorial to the future, I can"t help but admire Anna, she is the only woman I wholeheartedly recognize"
"However, if any other women wants to approach you----"
Su Xue Er displayed a brave smile and gently told him: "Don"t worry, Qing Shan, I"m definitely going to kill them all, ensuring that none of those wild gra.s.s and flowers stick close to you, dividing your attention"
Her figure slowly faded away into the fog as well, disappearing with the rest of the vision.
"Oh right, Qing Shan, remember to give Impartial G.o.ddess a name, she has specifically reminded me to tell you this"
After this statement, the entire vision vanished.
Only Gu Qing Shan and Laura remained.
The two of them had both fallen into thought.
Gu Qing Shan was silently feeling troubled------
If Su Xue Er was serious, things are going to be very troublesome.
Laura suddenly called out: "Gu Qing Shan, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah, I"m thinking about Impartial G.o.ddess" name" Gu Qing Shan answered right away.
"No, they"re definitely thinking about those other girls" Laura said.
"Not at all, I"m thinking about Impartial G.o.ddess" name" Gu Qing Shan insisted.
Laura sighed, then started to monologue:
"During our chat a while ago, when you mentioned the Tianma Empress, I"m sure she was still hiding her strength, so I wonder who would actually be more powerful between her and Su Xue Er"
Gu Qing Shan frowned a bit.
Laura continued: "I"m also thinking about Ning Yue Chan------ I remember that she was a girl especially worthy of admiration. If Su Xue Er found her and the two of them fought again, tsk tsk…"
She didn"t finish her words, but what she meant was very clear.
And Gu Qing Shan perfectly understood it.
----now that I think about it, Su Xue Er had once been on the receiving end of Ning Yue Chan"s beating.
And Ning Yue Chan was someone who didn"t hold back in combat.
If the two of them fought again…
Gu Qing Shan felt a headache coming and glared at Laura: "Stop guessing blindly, what we need to do now is to seize the time to see what exactly Su Xue Er had done"
He took out the Condemnation Codex, thought briefly about it, then took out the Master of Valhalla"s Card before putting the two pendants of Death onto the book"s cover.
Laura also dropped the previous topic and said: "Since Su Xue Er had specifically mentioned these three artifacts, they"re most likely hidden cards that she had hidden in the past"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "All of them were artifacts from the era of the Pantheon, no wonder she was able to silently make these arrangements"
While the two of them discussed this, the three artifacts began to undergo change.
The two pendants of Death started to dissolve completely into the black cover of the Condemnation Codex.
The entire book began to be covered in a thick black aura that persisted for several dozen seconds before it gradually faded away.
Silence.
Continuous silence.
Laura impatiently asked: "Was that it? It doesn"t look like anything has changed at all"
"I"m not sure either" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The book suddenly took flight-------
It continuously circled around Gu Qing Shan, opening and closing by itself while giving off excited noises.
"It… seems to be quite interested in you" Laura whispered.
"Not me" Gu Qing Shan corrected her.
A golden light flickered on his body before emerging into the void.
-----the Coin of the Earth.
Ding ding! Clink clink clink cink!
The coin gave off a continuous metallic ring.
Pap pap pap pap!
The book flew in front of the coin and started responding to it.
After communicating for a while, the two artifacts flew back down.
The golden coin went back into Gu Qing Shan"s body and disappeared without a trace.
While the black book hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Gu Qing Shan! That coin was really splendid! The book was remarkable as well! I can clearly sense just how extraordinary they are as treasures!" Laura was very excited.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already understood.
After all, a similar supernatural phenomenon had occurred when he first became one of the four Pillar G.o.ds.
At that time, the Earth World completely disappeared, while I appeared in a vast unknown s.p.a.ce----
That"s right!
It was clearly a unique Phase Realm that appeared in front of me at the time, but I didn"t know it at all!
The Book of the Sea appeared at the time together with the other two artifacts, having arrived to witness my covenant with the coin.
That"s right…
Gu Qing Shan lightly placed his hand on the black book and stroked its cover.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:
[You"ve awakened the slumbering Book of the Sea]
[As you are the Earth Pillar of the Four Pillar G.o.ds, you"ve received its recognition and knowledge of its details]
[Book of the Sea: The Soul Artifact manifested from the Laws of the Water Pillar, which records all knowledge within the Boundless Void]
Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Qing Shan"s mind until he finally ended up with a single question.
"Book of the Sea" he muttered.
Pap?
The book responded.
"All of this… what exactly is going on here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The book flipped open by itself to an empty page.
Lines of glowing text swiftly appeared:
[The Water Pillar of the Four Pillar G.o.ds used to be an Awaiting who obtained me for a short while, but he died during a particularly dangerous battle. Within that chaos, the Death G.o.d of the Pantheon got ahold of me]
[The Death G.o.d took advantage of my grimoire attribute to disguise me as a Card Binder, then fused my front and back cover with her power of Death to create two effigies]
[Following her request, I fell into a long and uneventful slumber, only waking up for very short periods of time at crucial moments in history…]
[Up until this very moment!]
Gu Qing Shan understood that it was referring to Su Xue Er and hurriedly asked: "Why did that Death G.o.d have to do such a thing? You"re the Book of the Sea who recorded everything within the Boundless Void, you must surely know the reason"
[I naturally know] lines of text quickly appeared on the book: [Because I must be prepared to meet you at this exact moment and awaken----- only this way would all the living beings of the s.p.a.ce Vortex have a ray of hope]
"Hope?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[The hope to flee] the Book of the Sea answered.
"Do you mean, everyone would have a chance to escape?" Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.
[That will depend on your actions following this, Gu Qing Shan] the Book of the Sea answered.
Gu Qing Shan pondered briefly and suddenly said: "Wait a minute----- the Coin of Earth was already in my hands, and Su Xue Er had also delivered you to me, then where are the other two Pillar G.o.d Soul Artifacts?"
[Gu Qing Shan, you are very sharp, being able to recognize this so quickly]
Lines of text appeared on the Book of the Sea:
[Among the countless Reality Gates, only this Reality Gate had manifested the complete Pillar Soul Artifacts of the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind]
[That Death G.o.d"s capabilities were limited, so even after using up all her strength, she could only deliver me to you. After this, it will be up to you to use me and the Coin of the Earth to find the other two Soul Artifacts]
[Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, if you manage to gather all Four Pillars…]
[The final secret of this Reality Gate will be revealed to you]
The Book of the Sea paused briefly before continuing: [That frozen corpse managed to make certain guesses, but hadn"t managed to touch the truth]
[After all, this was a secret that no one had ever known about]
