A burst of dark blue light appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s hand, manifested into starlight that filled the air, then spread in every direction.
The entire secret room became a vast galaxy of stars.
The numerous stars gathered in place and manifested into feminine form.
—–the Deity of Fate, Lachesis.
She gazed down from the stars above with eyes full of sorrow and pity.
『 I am not Lachesis 』she declared first.
“Then who are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
『 I am the Spirit of Prophecy, created from the Fate Prophecy surpassing all power that Lachesis performed, but she didn’t have the qualifications to touch this Prophecy—— a Fate Prophecy would only be known to those who possess it 』
After answering him, Lachesis lightly bowed to Gu Qing Shan and continued: 『 May we begin now? 』
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Please”
Lachesis clapped her hands.
The starlight surged forward to manifest into a vision.
『 A drop of blood from the frozen corpse created the Lord of Infinite Origins 』
『 The Lord of Infinite Origins was capable of controlling all the Laws of Reality, which he used to control everything in the world, forbidding the Myriad Deities to gain emotions and personal will 』
『 To control Fate, the Deities must first save themselves 』
『 Not even the Deities of Fate were an exceptional to this rule 』
The dark sky in the vision faded away as it began to change.
Gu Qing Shan found that he was standing in the middle of a brightly lit divine palace.
Numerous Deities had gathered here with the three Deities of Fate sitting at the highest seat of power, currently in the middle of a heated discussion.
Gu Qing Shan stood next to Lachesis and silently listened for a while.
It turns out these Deities were discussing how to escape from the Lord of Infinite Origins’ control.
They had come up with numerous solutions, but none of them received total consensus from the other Deities.
The other two Deities of Fate——-
Clotho and Atropos also occasionally joined the discussion, offering their ideas and solutions.
Only Lachesis sat with a bored and aloof expression on the throne.
She suddenly turned to Gu Qing Shan and spoke to him: 『 Lachesis wasn’t insane or psychotic 』
『 ——-however, as the only unrestrained Deity of this era, she needed to use the excuse of psychosis to protect herself from being discovered by the Lord of Infinite Origins 』
She pointed at the numerous Deities below and continued:
『 Take a look, all the Deities here attempted to alter their Fate, but didn’t even know their own identities 』
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He naturally understood that the one currently speaking to him was actually the Spirit of Prophecy.
She had attached herself to Lachesis’ image to explain the past to him.
Lachesis suddenly clapped her hands.
Sprites of light began to lit up from the Deities’ bodies.
『 Can you see it? 』she told Gu Qing Shan, 『 These Laws had gained consciousness and became Deities, but the Deities did not understand the most crucial detail—— all the Laws originated from the frozen corpse 』
『——- in other words, the Deities were actually a part of the frozen corpse’s body 』
『 Because the Lord of Infinite Origins’ authority was higher than their own, the Deities would never be able to defeat him 』
Right at this moment, a Deity loudly offered his idea, which received increasingly more support.
In the end, all the Deities consented to his idea, including Clotho and Atropos.
They were a male Deity whose body exuded boundless radiance.
「 We should pool the complete power of the Deities to forge a powerful Divine Artifact, using it to fight against the Lord of Infinite Origins 」he excitedly declared.
The other Deities all agreed.
『 That’s true, the power belonging to each of us is limited 』
“But a weapon can contain infinite power”
「 Focus the power of all the Deities and forge a Divine Artifact! 」
「 We might just be able to succeed! 」
『 —–No, we would definitely be able to succeed! 』
In the end, all the Deities turned to Lachesis.
——–she was the ruler of the Myriad Deities, the one who had the final say.
Lachesis stood up from her throne and loudly declared: “Then let us forge a powerful Divine Artifact to fight against the Lord of Infinite Origins!”
The Deities all cheered.
Lachesis then turned back to Gu Qing Shan and sighed: 『 They did not know that the one truly in control of everything was the frozen corpse——- the only one who would realize this during my era was the Prophecy that I performed. In the future era, a person called ‘Shroud’ would appear, who would then become assimilated with the frozen corpse and become the new Lord of Infinite Origins 』
The vision changed.
Numerous Deities dedicated their powers to forge the three Divine Artifacts of Fate.
A pendant that radiated starlight.
A full suit of dress armor.
And a mass of obscured light.
Gu Qing Shan naturally recognized the first two Divine Artifacts as [Tear of Deities] and [Plate of Destiny’s End]
Lachesis stood with a still expression in front of the three Divine Artifacts.
“Big sister, what can this Divine Artifact of ours do?” Atropos asked.
“Indeed, it is the strongest among the three Divine Artifacts, but what can it do?”
Clotho also asked.
Lachesis shook her head and answered inexplicably: “I do not know either. It is the Law of Fate condensed to surpass my own power, containing the strongest Causality Law of ‘Will surely evolve into an appropriate power to counteract an especially powerful enemy’”
Clotho and Atropos both turned to the mass of light.
Lachesis suddenly turned to Gu Qing Shan.
——-at this point, she was actually the Spirit of Prophecy.
The Spirit of Prophecy spoke:
『 The Deities had successfully forged the three Divine Artifacts, but they were still completely unable to go against the Lord of Infinite Origins, as the one behind him was the frozen corpse—— to wish to triumph against the frozen corpse itself was a laughable wish 』
『 However, an unexpected situation occurred right at this moment 』
Clotho and Atropos reached their hands out to each take a Divine Artifact with an excited and glad expression on their faces.
“”Lachesis, what do you think about the power of these three Divine Artifacts of Fate?”” they both asked at the same time.
Lachesis smiled and replied: “Very powerful! They would surely be able to help us triumph against the Lord of Infinite Origins”
She walked forward and quickly recited an incantation, then continued: “But these three Divine Artifacts of Fate are incomplete”
“Incomplete!? But why?” Clotho asked.
Lachesis explained: “Because out of all the Deities, there were still three Deities who had not exerted their powers for them”
The anxious expressions on Clotho and Atropos’ faces both faded.
“That’s true, there are still the three of us” Clotho said.
“Without us granting them the power of Fate, they could not be called Divine Artifacts of Fate” Atropos also commented.
“Come—— gather your powers into my hands, I will grant all the power of Fate to these three Divine Artifacts!” Lachesis declared.
The three Deities of Fate released all of their powers to imbue them into the Divine Artifacts.
The Spirit of Prophecy reminded him: 『 Pay attention——– 』
Gu Qing Shan focused his attention.
Only to see the boundless power of Laws gathering on the three Divine Artifacts and gradually cause some sort of change.
The starlight on the [Tear of Deities] and [Plate of Destiny’s End] gradually became dim, as the majority of the power of Law had gathered into the mass of light in the middle.
“How powerful! It is surely the most powerful!” Clotho frightfully exclaimed.
After the mass of light absorbed the majority of power, it suddenly scattered into sprites of light and vanished.
“Was the most powerful Divine Artifact of Fate destroyed?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but question.
『 That isn’t so, because it had gained sentience 』the Spirit of Prophecy replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said: “Sentience? It is quite normal for a Divine Artifact to have a spirit”
The Spirit of Prophecy continued: 『 This was the most powerful Divine Artifact of Fate, which contained the unique Causality Law of ‘Will surely evolve into an appropriate power to counteract an especially powerful enemy’, as well as other unbelievable powers, so it had recognized a paradox 』
“What paradox?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
『 In that era, there was no method of counteracting the Lord of Infinite Origins or the frozen corpse 』the Spirit of Prophecy replied.
“And?” Gu Qing Shan was still unclear.
『 And so, the Artifact Spirit had arrived at two conclusions: Firstly, it was impossible to create a countermeasure against the enemy. Secondly, to defeat this enemy, it required a long period of time for evolution 』
『——– it then left that era 』
“What, it left that era!?” Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in shock.
『 Indeed, it jumped to the end of the Age of Immemorial and borrowed a certain inexplicable power 』
The vision changed.
In a certain secret room, Gu Qing Shan was teaching Boss and Little Dusk how to dance.
The sound of music resounded throughout the room.
Doong dum tsh, doong dum tsh!
Dum tsh!~
Dum tsh!~
Doong doong tsh!
With Gu Qing Shan leading in front while Boss and Little Dusk were at the back, the three of them continued to dance.
The Spirit of Prophecy said: 『 Pay attention, it’s here 』
Gu Qing Shan looked in the vision and saw a strange power manifesting on the ceiling of the secret room.
——in reality, he also noticed it at the time, but during the Dance, some strange and inexplicable things would always manifest, and Little Dusk had just obtained an Occultism Card from this Dance: [Weapon Prohibition].
From this point of view, the fact that strange and unusual things occur in the middle of the Dance isn’t anything out of the ordinary.
So Gu Qing Shan didn’t pay much attention to it at the time.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and shook his head: “So I was actually this close to the strongest Divine Artifact of Fate”
The Spirit of Prophecy continued: 『 Please pay attention, it’s leaving 』
The mass of strange power on the ceiling then abruptly disappeared.
“Where did it go?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
『 At the end of the Age of Immemorial, the Lord of Infinite Origins lost his life. After this weapon lost its original target, it discovered a new target in Reneedol——– through the countless years so far, no one had ever been a match for Reneedol, so it wasn’t until now that Reneedol had to face an enemy she could not defeat 』
The Spirit of Prophecy looked at Gu Qing Shan and spoke: 『 That person was you 』
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Then, where’s the Divine Artifact?”
『 It had borrowed the power of your Dance to complete reincarnation while also releasing the power of Fate at many locations within the Boundless Void, using that to deceive Reneedol into thinking that the appearance of the Law of Fate was actually a normal occurrence 』
『 At the same time, it had also made preparations to evolve once again 』
The vision changed again.
Void City appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Within the grand manor of the City Lord, countless Combatants stood around a girl.
Long black hair, fair skin, a pair of clear emerald eyes.
She wore a green wizard garb with white cloud patterns, exuding a mysterious and noble presence.
Everyone was following her orders to quickly resolve various matters within the infinite worlds of the void.
——–the City Lord of Void City, Fei Yue.
Gu Qing Shan looked at this vision in surprise, then suddenly realized a lot of things.
A certain unbelievable answer had surfaced in his mind.
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Wait a minute, could it be——”
『 Indeed 』the Spirit of Prophecy replied, 『 The most powerful Divine Artifact that the Myriad Deities forged had borrowed the power of your Occultism Dance and the power of the Samsara to traverse the countless years until it reached his era 』
『 Fei Yue 』
『 She had finished her preparations and is only one last step away from awakening 』
『 She will be the key to defeating Reneedol! 』
