Gu Qing Shan pulled his hand back and muttered: “How troublesome”
“What’s the situation?” Ye Fei Li asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Three hours ago, he already swore his allegiance to the Previous Kings”
Everyone was shocked.
“If that’s the case, the Previous Kings don’t trust you at all” Zhang Ying Hao commented.
“If they actually did, I’d be a lot more surprised——— compared to an outsider like me, the kingdom’s guardians are naturally more trustworthy” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Oh no, then what about Greyhound!?” Xuan Ya muttered.
Indeed, if the Previous Kings have reached out to one guardian, they would naturally reach out to the other guardian as well.
The Previous Kings wanted to make sure that the child will die in the hands of the God of Life.
The situation had turned a lot more serious.
Gu Qing Shan spoke up: “We’re heading to the other guardian immediately”
Xuan Ya pointed at the blacksmith and asked: “What about him?”
Gu Qing Shan took the ring from the blacksmith’s finger and replied: “To ensure that we don’t alert them, first we need to ensure that he remains unconscious”
“That’s easy” Laura said.
She took out a 2-meter-long coffin and threw the man inside.
“Legendary Artifact: [Sleeping Beauty’s Sealed Coffin]——— after lying inside, as long as no one kisses you on the lips, you will never wake up” Laura patted the top of the coffin and boastingly explained.
Zhang Ying Hao looked at the blacksmith and muttered: “Then I guess he’s never going to wake up”
The group tidied everything up and quickly left.
They moved as fast as possible and soon reached a restaurant.
Laura opened her flower umbrella and vanished together with Gu Qing Shan’s group.
Just as before, Xuan Ya brought Ye Fei Li inside.
After just a few sentences, Ye Fei Li noticed that he was lying, so he gave the signal.
This guardian was knocked unconscious as well.
After using Soul Reading on him, Gu Qing Shan turned to Laura.
“What is it?” Laura asked.
“Do you have another of that coffin from before?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“…It was a one-of-a-kind artifact” Laura replied.
“Then, we’ll just have to put them in together—– that won’t decrease the effects of the coffin, will it?”
“It won’t…” Laura hesitantly replied.
“That’s good then”
Gu Qing Shan took off this guardian’s ring and tossed him into the coffin as well.
——-although it was a bit cramped, as long as the two guardians were laid on their sides, they would still barely fit inside.
As Laura was about to activate the seal and close the coffin, Zhang Ying Hao suddenly spoke up: “Wait”
“What is it?” Laura was confused.
“If the two of them happen to kiss one another, wouldn’t that mean both of them would wake up?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
After considering that situation for a bit, everyone agreed that would be the case.
So Zhang Ying Hao went up and changed how the two guardians laid down, making sure that the most they could do was kiss the other person’s boot.
He then overlapped some parts of their bodies to make sure that the two of them would perfectly fit inside the coffin.
“There——- should be no issues now” Zhang Ying Hao declared in satisfaction as he carefully pulled down the lid of the coffin and sealed it tight.
“Very careful” Boss praised.
“Well done” Ye Fei Li praised.
“Meticulous” Laura praised.
“Well-considered” Gu Qing Shan praised.
Xuan Ya: “…”
She suddenly recalled how she thought that these people were just a rag-tag bunch the first time she saw them.
But right at this moment, the only impression she held of them was that of a terrifying group.
Xuan Ya calmed her emotions a bit, then spoke up: “Then… now that we’ve obtained all the rings, should we command all the kingdom officials, the military, as well as the civilians to go up against both the monster and the Previous Kings?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “No, during our secret meeting yesterday, the Previous Kings had arranged so that we’d meet up at the palace today, during the coronation”
“Are you actually planning on cooperating with him to act during the coronation ceremony?” Xuan Ya asked.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “Not at all, but there’s a very simple logic here——- over 100 million years ago, not even the Deities managed to kill that monster”
“Are the few of us here, even with every Demi in this world, going to be more powerful than the Deities used to be?”
Xuan Ya froze.
Everyone also fell into thought.
Zhang Ying Hao mused: “We would definitely not win against that monster——- let’s call her the God of Life for now”
Boss added: “Not only does she have the strength of the monster, but also the God of Life’s knowledge and experience, even in the infinite void, there shouldn’t be many who could be her match”
Ye Fei Li asked: “Then, are we going to surrender?”
Gu Qing Shan turned to Laura and asked: “That gift you gave to Lin last time, do you still have another similar item?”
“The gift I gave Lin? You mean the mirror world?” Laura thought for a bit and answered him: “There are, but none of them are quite as good”
When Laura first met Lin, she gave her a mirror world.
That world wasn’t particularly large, it was only 5 million square kilometers in total, surrounded by golden beaches——– managed by top experts of the 900 million World Layers, including 5 top-class gourmet chefs, 7 hairstylists, 15 jewel designers, 24 scientists, and 36 modern fashion designers, all of which could be summoned if the owner required anything.
“It’s ok, as long as you have them” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“So now, there are two issues left——- Boss, back in the Bramble Bird Kingdom, you once demonstrated a reverse devil summoning technique”
Boss nodded.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “I want to know, does that summoning technique of yours have any limitations?”
Boss replied: “There are. At most I can only summon ten people at once”
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and said: “Then, give me a reverse-summoning covenant”
Boss nodded: “Alright”
A dark crimson flame appeared on his hand, which he used to quickly draw a circle in the air, followed by flaming runes.
This was the Fiend Flame and the unique ruins for the summoning circle.
“Catch” Boss told Gu Qing Shan.
The dark crimson flame magic circle was pushed, lightly flying towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan received it with his hand.
The dark crimson flame magic circle abruptly vanished, while Boss’ Book of Prophesized Destiny automatically flipped open to a certain page.
The page naturally depicted Gu Qing Shan’s appearance.
“There” Boss nodded, “I can now summon you to where I am at any time”
Gu Qing Shan finally turned to Xuan Ya: “Then what about you? I remember you said your Divine Skill was [Fearless Transmission], right?”
“Yes, at the time, it was because of this Divine Skill that the king made me receive you in the secret passage” Xuan Ya replied.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “I remember you telling me that your Divine Skill will allow you to warp to any location you wished”
“Yes” Xuan Ya confirmed.
“Are there any limitations?” Gu Qing Shan pursued.
“There’s also a limit of 10 people, and the place of transport would be the location where I focus my mind” Xuan Ya replied.
“Good, then we can begin our battle right now”
Gu Qing Shan clapped his hand and circulated the spirit energy around his body.
Laura hurriedly exclaimed: “Wait a minute, Gu Qing Shan, you just said that we can’t defeat that monster—— and you still haven’t explained how we’re going to fight!”
Gu Qing Shan prepared his sword seals.
The Earth sword appeared next to him from the void of space.
“Don’t worry, I’ll explain it right away”
The Earth sword flashed and shot straight to the sky.
Everyone watched as the flying sword entered the deep blue sky above and slowly travelled even further away, completely out of sight.
Gu Qing Shan patted Ye Fei Li’s shoulder and told him: “Distribute the drinks”
“Got it”
Ye Fei Li gave a canned drink to everyone.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan quickly began to delegate the roles of battle:
“Fei Li will be responsible for lookout, I’ll leave the mirror world and our ship to you, also remember to pay attention and help us if necessary”
“Sure” Ye Fei Li replied.
“Ying Hao, are you able to utilize your gun yet?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“As much as I possibly can, it had only just awoken, so we’re still training”
“At a crucial moment, you’ll be responsible for sniping”
“That’s simple enough” Zhang Ying Hao nodded.
“Xuan Ya, in a few minutes, I’ll leave the rings to you. You need to rally the strength of the Demis; Laura, you’ll come with us and be on standby to provide help at any time”
“Got it” Xuan Ya replied.
“Yes” Laura replied.
Gu Qing Shan then turned to Boss.
“Boss, you and I will kill the four fake Gods——- I’ll create a chance for you”
“Don’t worry, my Flames of Nihility will be more than enough to kill them” Boss replied.
“Wait a minute” Zhang Ying Hao couldn’t help but cut Gu Qing Shan off and asked: “The Previous Kings are still plotting to kill the God of Life in the royal palace, the four fake Gods are waiting for the coronation ceremony to begin, the God of Life should also be hiding in the vicinity of the royal palace—– how do you intend to break this situation?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Quite simple, that place is where all of their plans and schemes intertwine, if we continue forward like this, we’d surely be the passive side and would lose our initiative, so——-”
We’ll let keep their plans and arrangements where they are, while we create an entirely new situation and take back the initiative”
As soon as he said so, everyone couldn’t help but look up.
Far above in the sky.
A streak of light was ripping through the void of space with a high-pitched screech as it shot towards the ground.
The Earth sword.
——–the Earth sword was about to descend while carrying its unrivaled destructive power!
Zhang Ying Hao couldn’t help but ask again: “Brother, I know your swordsmanship is great, but what are you trying to do?”
“Nothing much, just creating a bit of chaos”
Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.
Far away from where they stood, the Earth sword struck the ground like a meteorite.
