A ship was quickly making its way through the space vortex.
Thanks to the pixie’s Spatial Divine Artifact, he was transported directly to the vicinity of the Eternal Abyss.
He was currently heading back to his starting point, the final destination being the Bramble Bird Kingdom.
[… zzt… Gu Qing Shan, can you hear me?] Laura’s voice sounded from the ship’s intercom.
“I can hear you” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Has everything gone well?] Laura asked.
“It has, when I return, we can immediately declare war”
[Perfect, I’ll make the preparations]
The conversation ended.
Gu Qing Shan leaned back on the large sofa in the control room, snacking on a spirit energy replenishment pill.
He was alone on the ship.
——–Su Xue Er remained in the secret passage.
She and Impartial Goddess’ Super Dimensional weapon were currently breaking into the Starlight Empire war base database to collect their leftover materials and weaponry.
Hazeden, Guyan, and Sha Qiang brought their subordinates with them to visit the kingdom of pixie as guests.
…
When they parted, the pixies had also invited Gu Qing Shan and Su Xue Er to their kingdom as guests, but Gu Qing Shan naturally declined, saying that he needed to return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom immediately.
The long-bearded old man once again asked Gu Qing Shan to marry a pixie princess.
Su Xue Er was immediately wary of him.
——-why are the pixies so insistent on this?
I can’t let Gu Qing Shan remain here for too long!
She pushed Gu Qing Shan and urged him: “Hurry up and go, you have to do what you have to do right? I’ll catch up with you later”
So Gu Qing Shan left.
——-he directly used the pixie’s Spatial Divine Artifact to leave.
“Why does he seem like he’s running away?” the pixie king asked in surprise.
Su Xue Er glared at the pixies and explained to them in a frigid voice: “He won’t be marrying a pixie; I’ll tell you that much. He’s a human, get it? A human can only be with a human—–”
The long-bearded old man cut her off.
He waved his hand dismissively and spoke with regret: “Young miss, I highly valued your willpower and bravery in battle, so I originally wanted to have you accept the blessing of the pixie royal family, becoming a pixie princess who can use Quipcraft before marrying you to him”
The pixie king also nodded in agreement: “That’s exactly right, today was a perfect day, we would have been able to host a grand marriage ceremony for the two of you”
Silence.
Su Xue Er froze completely, standing motionlessly for a long while.
An electronic voice sounded from her arm: [Su Xue Er, let us start decoding the base’s passwords]
For some reason, this electronic voice sounded both happy and pleased.
…
——–naturally, since Gu Qing Shan had already left, he didn’t know anything about this.
He sat on the ship and entered a meditative state.
Having absorbed the power of almost 2000 cultivators, combined with the Demon Dragon’s original power, he was currently experiencing an abrupt spurt of growth in his power.
Gu Qing Shan could feel himself becoming stronger every second.
At a certain point.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Your personal strength has reached the threshold of {Yama King} realm]
[You can trigger the Tribulation at any moment]
Gu Qing Shan didn’t feel too surprised.
He could sense that the Demon Dragon’s power still sleeping in his body wouldn’t only help him reach {Yama King} realm, but advance even further.
However, since he was inside of the ship, it wasn’t quite suitable for facing a Tribulation.
So…
“Adorable” Gu Qing Shan called out.
A squeak quickly replied to him from the void of space:
Xiu?
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Is it because you borrowed someone’s ability that you had been hiding without saying a word?”
The jade gourd pendant Adorable immediately showed itself and started circling around Gu Qing Shan.
Xiu xiu xiu wu wu!
It appeared quite excited.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan gave it a thumbs up.
“Well done!” he praised.
—–since Adorable had been able to steal that ability, I’ll be able to sneak into that world and collect a bit more information.
After all, I stand on the side of [Order] and the Abyss, which is at war with [Chaos] and the parallel world.
The Eternal Abyss had also displayed its sincerity.
——-originally, the Aegis could only summon random Abyssal monsters with a random level of power, and only one at a time
But as the Eternal Abyss felt the summoning of this Saint Armament, it sent all of the most powerful Abyssal monsters over.
It was only after the battle was over that those Abyssal monsters slowly returned.
Gu Qing Shan understood this quite clearly.
After pondering for a bit, he activated the ship’s camouflage function and docked it at an unassuming ruined location in the void.
Gu Qing Shan set up all the necessary defensive barriers, then summoned the Aegis.
After everything was prepared, he began to form the necessary hand seals.
Secret Art, [Sealed Body Yin Shift]!
Secret Art, [Soul Comes Soul Goes]!
With the two techniques, his soul was once again ejected from his body.
He released his inner sight and checked the surrounding several thousand miles of space.
Everything seemed ordinary.
——-this was a random ruin in the space vortex that he just happened to see, so there shouldn’t be anyone who notices his presence.
Coupled with the Aegis and Adorable, Gu Qing Shan was confident that his safety was somewhat assured.
After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan took out a wide-brimmed hat that could obscure his presence.
This was an item from the Suspended world that he had specifically kept since a while ago.
———as for the Elemental Fairy King’s armor, he left it for Su Xue Er.
Since he had both the Aegis and Adorable, he didn’t need it quite as much, while he would feel much more assured with the armor protecting Su Xue Er.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan was wearing the Silent Dusk Cloak, a wide-brimmed hat over his head, as well as a sword hidden at his waist, which made it impossible to discover his identity at a glance.
With everything prepared, Gu Qing Shan said: “Adorable, use that technique on me——- you just need to maintain it with Soul Points, no need to fully complete it, then come take a look with me”
Xiu!
Adorable replied.
It then used that technique on Gu Qing Shan.
Divine Skill, [Circulation of Life and Death]!
——this was the Divine Skill that the red main gate had used.
Instantly, Gu Qing Shan found everything around himself becoming illusory.
Another world suddenly manifested in front of him.
The Huang Quan realm fragment world!
Just like when the red main gate performed this technique, as it was related to the overlapping of two worlds, it couldn’t be completed in a short while.
Gu Qing Shan landed on a piece of rock, only to realize that he was standing at a corner of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
—–he had entered the Huang Quan realm fragment world.
Gu Qing Shan carefully concealed his presence and hid in a location away from the wind.
In the sky, several sprites of light that carried faint and solemn presences were flying back and forth.
A loud noise could be heard from afar.
Several Deities were working together to shove Hell back into the crack between the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and Forgetting River from where it had emerged.
—–this world was still in chaos, apparently not recovered from the influence of the Devil King’s rage.
Gu Qing Shan narrowed his eyes and released his inner sight to carefully check.
All of a sudden, he noticed an acquaintance.
She seemed to have just finished something and was quickly running in a certain direction.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t hesitate for a single moment and vanished.
“It’s me”
He directly appeared behind the white-cloaked girl and gently sent his voice.
The white-cloaked girl paused slightly before speaking to the void of space: “Big sis, go back first and wait for me, I’m about to make dinner”
A spark of flame escaped from her mouth before flying out of sight in a few moments.
The white-cloaked girl then turned in another direction.
“Don’t fly, don’t run, don’t greet anyone, just slowly follow me” the white-cloaked girl sent her voice.
Gu Qing Shan understood and closely followed her.
The white-cloaked girl led him away, making sure not to speak or greet anyone at all, simply heading forward.
As time went by, more and more ghost soldiers and ghost generals gathered, together with a few Deities as well.
“Hurry! Hurry! Someone is silently using a world-overlapping technique”
“Relay the superior’s orders, quickly locate any suspicious people!”
“Split up, report immediately if you find anything out of the ordinary”
“Sir, yes sir!”
“Hurry, a Deity discovered that the origin of the technique was on top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain”
“Advance in formation, prepare for combat!”
They hurriedly made their way forward while shouting order after order.
The atmosphere of Huang Quan turned tense.
The white-cloaked girl lowered her head and picked up her pace, quickly bringing Gu Qing Shan to a house next to the banks of the Forgetting River.
She unlocked the door, took Gu Qing Shan inside, and hurriedly closed the door.
“There, this is our place, should be safe” the white-cloaked girl sighed in relief.
The black-cloaked girl was already waiting for the two of them here.
“You’re a real piece of work, you know that!?”
The black-cloaked girl glared at Gu Qing Shan and quickly said.
Gu Qing Shan turned to the void of space.
It replied with a series of ‘xiu xiu xiu’ noises.
Gu Qing Shan said right way: “This technique can persist for 30 more seconds; we need to make this swift”
