Gu Qing Shan held his black umbrella and flew towards the God of Life with Boss.
While Laura held her flower umbrella as she flew towards the Soul Shrieker together with Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li.
Both sides were moving as fast as possible, quickly entering the battlefield, and respectively made it to where the Deities were.
None of the Deity corpses noticed their presence.
Gu Qing Shan had Adorable follow and protect Laura, only calming down after she made it to the necessary spot.
At this point, the number of Deity corpses emerging from the black coffins had overpowered the two Deities, who couldn’t do anything but get beaten up to the point of barely hanging on.
“Begin!”
Gu Qing Shan sent his voice.
Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li both released their hands from the flower umbrella.
———at this point, the Soul Shrieker had just exerted all its power to escape from the encirclement of the Deity corpses.
“Our peerless Deity, we came to save you!” Zhang Ying Hao shouted.
“My Deity! I discarded everything in order to give up my life and everything, swearing my allegiance to you!” Ye Fei Li declared.
The Soul Shrieker glanced at them.
It could sense the power of [Chaos] coming from them.
Indeed, they were carriers of [Chaos]
They were subjects from my faction.
——I recall that they were allied with that carrier of [Order], why did they suddenly appear here?
Just to fall into the embrace of [Chaos]?
But they are so weak, not only do they pose no threat to me, but they are also helpless to help me.
Perhaps, they are up to something?
I would have lost my life here, so how could they have appeared in this place?
And they said that they were going to save me?
Countless thoughts flashed through the Soul Shrieker’s mind before it hesitantly spoke: 『「 You…』」
Ye Fei Li abruptly cut it off: “My Deity! We are powerless, but we can bring you safely away from here!”
He grabbed Laura’s flower umbrella and let it touch the Soul Shrieker’s body.
The Deity corpses that faced the Soul Shrieker abruptly stopped attacking.
They blankly stood still, seemingly trying to sense something.
But to no avail.
The Deity corpses slowly turned around and looked towards the God of Life.
Gradually, they moved.
The Soul Shrieker stared at the two tiny carriers of [Chaos] as well as the little girl that suddenly appeared, then at the moving Deity corpses.
——regardless, it had to admit a certain truth.
It had evaded everything and wasn’t discovered at all.
These two carriers of [Chaos] had certainly used this strange ability to save me.
But what exactly is happening?
However, since the threat hadn’t fully disappeared, the Soul Shrieker could only remain still and watch as it watched the Deity corpses fly past it.
At the same time.
On the other side.
The God of Life was desperately holding off the attacks of several Deity corpses while also maintaining attention on the Soul Shrieker’s situation.
All of a sudden, the Soul Shrieker disappeared from her senses.
——thoroughly disappeared, not even the Deity corpses managed to detect the Soul Shrieker.
『 That’s impossible! 』
The God of Life abruptly shouted.
But reality wouldn’t change just because of its shout.
And the Deity corpses that originally surrounded the Soul Shrieker had now started making their way towards the God of Life.
『 Damn it! Damn it! 』
The God of Life was shouting half in desperation and half in insanity.
—–that one actually managed to escape!
Right at this point, a voice sounded in her ears.
“I am the servant of the great Soul Shrieker – the Deity of [Chaos]. As you can see, our Deity has a way of avoiding this calamity”
This voice was so familiar that the God of Life nearly froze as she heard it.
Indeed, this was the same person who appeared in Calming Soul Country.
——–he was the Soul Shrieker’s servant who came with numerous Soul Artifacts, looking to trade for the [Order] in my hand.
And I refused.
Afterwards, the Soul Shrieker truly did arrive!
The God of Life looked around and questioned: 『 What do you want? 』
——-she discovered something terrific.
Even the Soul Shrieker’s servant was completely concealed within the void of space, unable to be detected!
They really did have a way to avoid this sure-death situation!
A light of hope sparked in the God of Life’s heart.
Right at this point, Gu Qing Shan utilized the power of Fate he carried and stated the final [Words of Determined Destiny]:
“At this point, you can only use the [Order] Card to exchange for a chance to survive——- in fact, what treasure is worth more than, or even as much as your own life?”
This was a simple and true fact.
What the God of Life treasured most had always been her own life.
This was her nature.
Facing the threat of certain death, it truly didn’t care about any other treasure.
That was why Gu Qing Shan only stated this [Words of Determined Destiny] right at this crucial moment.
The God of Life abruptly raised both hands to send the Deity corpses in front of her flying, then solemnly raised her voice: 『 I can use the Card to exchange for that concealment method, but you must sign a covenant with me! 』
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly.
“Got it, no problem!” he replied.
The God of Life swiped her hand across the void of space to take out a withered leaf and wrote a covenant on it.
『 How do I give it to you? 』she questioned.
“You only need to put things into the void to give them to us” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The God of Life placed the leaf into the void.
Boss immediately flipped through the Book of Prophesized Destiny and activated a technique to retrieve the withered leaf.
It wrote:
[The God of Life shall hand the Order Card over to the Soul Shrieker. After this is accomplished, the Soul Shrieker must come up with a way to allow the God of Life to escape this deathly situation, otherwise, the Soul Shrieker will lose its life together with the God of Life]
—–tch, what a strict covenant.
Boss shook his head, placed the leaf onto the Book of Prophesized Destiny, and lightly tapped it.
Black smoke came out from the leaf almost immediately.
“The covenant is real and does contain her soul signature, but there was a small trick” Boss muttered.
Gu Qing Shan loudly complained: “God of Life, your leaf contains a trick”
The God of Life coldly snorted and turned away.
—–I thought these servants would be shallow enough to not notice, but they actually did detect my trap.
Gu Qing Shan sincerely continued: “There’s an issue with the term ‘[Order] Card’, because we don’t know exactly what form the [Order] in your hand takes, so you must change it to explicitly say [Order]”
This was a simple play of words, so the God of Life didn’t care too much.
While holding off the Deity corpses’ attacks, it angrily roared: 『 Fine! 』
Soon enough, the term ‘[Order] Card’ written on the withered leaf was changed to say [Order].
Gu Qing Shan didn’t waste any words and toss the withered leaf into the void of space.
The withered leaf drifted to the faraway void and abruptly vanished.
Zhang Ying Hao had received it.
“My Deity, please take a look. This was our plan, it had formed a covenant, willing to hand the [Order] over to you” Zhang Ying Hao replied.
He raised the withered leaf in both hands as he handed it to the Soul Shrieker.
The Soul Shrieker received the leaf, read through it several times, then used numerous means to check its authenticity and finally confirmed this to be true.
This was an extremely strict Divine covenant that could restrict even Deities!
In other words——-
The [Order] will soon fall into my hands!
Who would’ve thought, these weak carriers of [Chaos] actually managed to accomplish such a great feat!
Countless of the Soul Shrieker’s doubts up to this point temporarily vanished.
Everything else is unimportant, as long as I can obtain the [Order].
Once I destroy it, the Era of [Chaos] shall thoroughly and completely descend!
The Soul Shrieker took a deep breath, then left its own soul signature on the leaf.
The withered leaf gave off a faint glow and slowly faded.
The covenant had been formed!
The Soul Shrieker and God of Life both felt it at once.
The Soul Shrieker turned to Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li, nodding in satisfaction: 『「 The two of you are quite decent 』」
On the other side, Gu Qing Shan held his black umbrella and told the God of Life: “There, please hand over the [Order], your excellency”
The God of Life was extremely reluctant.
But with the constant descent of black coffins, one of them had begun to exude a presence that exceeded even Deities.
Every second wasted was a second closer to her death.
I can’t hesitate any longer!
The God of Life gritted her teeth and took out a Card.
She glanced into the boundless void, not knowing where the Soul Shrieker was hiding, so she simply tossed it into the void like she did the withered leaf.
『 Take it and save me quickly! 』
The Card vanished into the void.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Gu Qing Shan had retrieved the Card, then used [Ground Shrink] consecutively to bring both himself and Boss away.
Meanwhile, Boss was flipping through the Book of Prophesized Destiny while chanting the incantation.
——-sha!
Laura, Zhang Ying Hao, and Ye Fei Li were reversed-summoned by him.
The group held the two umbrellas in their hands and exchanged fearful glances.
“Go!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted.
Everyone caught onto his sleeve.
While he fully exerted himself to use [Ground Shrink] over and over.
“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” Boss urged him.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’m using all my strength!”
——-very quickly, the group vanished into the boundless space vortex.
…
On the battlefield.
The God of Life glanced not too far away from where she was.
The Soul Shrieker had abruptly appeared from the void, standing there with confused expressions on both its male and female face.
They shouted to the other side at once:
『 Save me now! 』
「『 Hand over the [Order]! 」』
The voices resounded, then slowly faded into the darkness of the void.
Both Deities’ expressions warped.
Time continued to flow.
They seemed to have realized something.
