Gu Qing Shan stood at the edge of the airship with a colorful fragment in his hand.
This was one of the seven Saint Armaments of the Abyss, a broken fragment of Abaddon.
Through this fragment, Gu Qing Shan was able to sense the location of the spear.
A brief moment of silence.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recognized the sensation of guidance.
Countless worlds parted ways to either side, so rapidly that one could only faintly observe images of them.
Gu Qing Shan saw the border of the Eternal Abyss.
The scene in front of his eyes didn’t stop and continued jetting forward.
——-through the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation capable of destroying all things, heading towards the unknown faraway space vortex.
And yet it was still not far enough.
Even further away, a place outside of the observable range of the 900 million World Layers.
Indeed, the 7-colored spear, Abaddon was here!
Gu Qing Shan abruptly let go and put the fragment back into his Inventory Bag.
“What’s the matter?” Laura asked with concern.
“It’s a bit far, seems like I’ll have to be on my way immediately” Gu Qing Shan sighed.
In truth, the extreme distance wasn’t an issue.
Laura could provide him with an airship with enough speed to traverse that.
The real issue was how could a living being make it through the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation.
——-they were gusts of winds strong enough to ravage and destroy entire worlds.
Gu Qing Shan was completely clueless about how to solve this.
Alright, let’s just go on my way first, standing here won’t solve the issue.
Boss asked: “Which direction are you heading?”
Gu Qing Shan pointed in a certain direction.
“That way?” Boss was surprised, “That’s the direction of the Eternal Abyss”
“Hm, I’ll need to make my way through the Eternal Abyss, then continue for a bit more” Gu Qing Shan said.
Boss pondered a bit and replied: “It’s currently wartime, so the Eternal Abyss won’t simply grant anyone passage—— let me communicate with the Abyss first, just to prevent any misunderstandings”
He closed his eyes and went into thought.
A short while later.
Boss appeared surprised.
He opened his eyes: “The Abyss just informed me something, the Demon Dragon didn’t just ally itself with the Soul Shrieker, in reality, the Demon Dragon was actually a spy from the parallel world”
“The parallel world has formed an alliance with [Chaos]”
Gu Qing Shan thought of the masked people.
“So they actually allied themselves” Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Boss continued: “The Abyss knows that you’re looking for the method to fight against the Soul Shrieker, so it had agreed to grant you passage; at the same time, it also knows that you’re attempting to awaken an [Order], so it had made an offer”
“What kind of offer?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss replied: “If you successfully awaken [Order], then you would become the envoy of [Order], capable of representing [Order] as a whole”
“Through its long observations of you, the Abyss felt that this would be the most pivotal and desperate point in this war, thus offering to ally with [Order] through you as the representative”
“Ally? We’re going to form an alliance as well?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
“Indeed, since a few days ago, the Abyss had stopped its backflow into the 900 million World Layers”
Boss continued: “As the 900 million World Layers and Abyss have a common enemy, we should certainly ally ourselves”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Alright, I agree; but I don’t even know what the Abyss is”
“The Abyss is the Abyss, it isn’t like any other kind of entity, and I’m the representative Abyssal King, so are you willing to ally yourself with me?”
Gu Qing Shan: “I’m willing”
Boss slightly nodded, closed his eyes, and once again contacted the Abyss.
A few moments later.
A bronze ring appeared from the void of space between the two of them.
Boss knelt with one knee to the ground, took the ring, and offered it to Gu Qing Shan with both hands.
This scene was so completely unexpected, the atmosphere turned completely indescribable.
Silence.
Ye Fei Li and Zhang Ying Hao both took a few steps back——- clearly trying to hide below the deck.
Laura opened her eyes wide, her jaw practically dropped to the ground.
“This, this, this! Wha-why!?”
She was stuttering.
Gu Qing Shan retained relative calm as he looked confusedly at Boss: “What are you doing?”
Boss replied solemnly: “This is the gift that the Abyss bestowed to you in hope that you will soon be able to awaken [Order], leading the living beings of the 900 million World Layers to fight alongside it”
So that’s what that was.
Everyone silently sighed in relief.
Boss continued: “I will inform you this ahead of time: Regardless of who it is, there is a very real chance of death when coming into contact with the Abyss, and this ring is no different——– so you mustn’t touch it unless there is no longer any choice. Only at the very last moment before death can you put it on, gambling to see if you can salvage life within certain death”
“Understood”
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand, the ring hovered by itself and was stored in his Inventory Bag.
Boss stood up and went on: “The 900 million World Layers is currently suffering through the pain of [Chaos], I suggest that we immediately declare this alliance to the 900 million World Layers, notifying the Combatants who are still retaliating against [Chaos], which will also serve to encourage their cause”
“I agree” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Laura cut in: “Gu Qing Shan, then how about you return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom first, I’ll have this alliance declaration broadcasted to the entire 900 million World Layers, then summon more people. After that is done, you can be on your way”
As Gu Qing Shan was about to talk, he sensed something.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Dum badum! Dum badum!
A series of lively battle drums resounding through the void.
This sensation——-
Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li’s expressions heavily warped.
Boss also backed away, taking 7-8 meters of distance from him.
The sound of music seemed faint, yet resounding, it continued on as if excited for something.
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “Not possible! I can’t return with you! It should be near the day where I have to perform the dance this month, if an issue actually occurred, it will truly become a huge joke—— let’s postpone the declaration of the alliance for now”
As soon as he said that, the music stopped.
Did he stop the music with a declaration?
How does that work?
Everyone carefully observed Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and tried probing: “I want to return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom and announce the formation of this alliance in front of the 900 million World Layers, as well as declaring war on [Chaos] and the parallel world”
Dum dum dum dum dum dum!
Dum badum badum! Dum badum badum!
The sound of drumming returned!
Although Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li had retreated really far away, as soon as the music began to play, the two of them squarely returned behind Gu Qing Shan with a ‘sha’, reforming their formation.
Boss noticed that he didn’t move.
He sighed in relief and muttered: “Seems like, thanks to my status as the Greatest Above the Star Crown—–”
Chen cha chen cha chen, jiuu—– jiuu——
Followed by the sound of exciting electronic music!
Boss twirled on the spot, then leapt right next to Gu Qing Shan in a graceful ballet step.
The four of them were gathered in place.
Boss: “…”
Zhang Ying Hao: “…”
Ye Fei Li: “…”
Gu Qing Shan loudly shouted: “I’ve decided not to go!”
After a short moment, the drumming stopped again.
Everyone regained control over their bodies, no longer standing in formation.
Everyone sighed in relief again.
“Yeah, I think Gu Qing Shan definitely can’t return, otherwise I’ll be ruined by this dance for sure” Zhang Ying Hao commented.
Laura pondered as she nodded, muttering: “This dance seemed to have been created for a grand occasion”
Gu Qing Shan wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling exceeding tired inside.
“Let’s just spread the rumors of the alliance first for now. When you return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom, first rally the Combatants, by the time I get back I should have already performed this Dance once, then we’ll make an official announcement”
“—–I’ll be on my way first, farewell”
He finally said.
…
On another side.
Gu Qing Shan’s homeworld.
The S.W. Divine Temple.
A screen of light was hovering at the deepest chamber of the interstellar fortress.
Countless notifications were scrolling up on the screen.
[Utilizing 21 of the Starlight Empire’s forefront research results]
[Combined with the knowledge, experience, and genetics of Combatants from the 900 million World Layers]
[After collection of previous materials and metals from various worlds]
[This research project has been completed]
[Results are as follow—-]
A small interstellar warship slowly rose from below the ground.
The warship silently laid there as the chamber returned to darkness.
[I’ve finally completed it, unfortunately, I don’t know where he is]
A regretful voice resounded from inside the small interstellar warship.
All of a sudden, the screen of light reappeared, completely cleared of its previous messages.
A new notification appeared at the very top:
[The Eternal Abyss had formed an alliance with Order]
[The legendary Abyssal King had reached a common consensus with the Envoy of Order, Gu Qing Shan]
[The two sides will make the official announcement of their alliance at the Bramble Bird Kingdom!]
After those notifications popped up, they swiftly vanished from the screen.
Oong——–
A thunderous sound of rumbling resounded from inside the S.W. Divine Temple.
The upper ceilings of the fortress were opened.
An enthusiastic female voice resounded across the entire interstellar fortress:
[Preparing]
[The Super Space-Time war equipment had been loaded, target: Mystic Zones, Bramble Bird Kingdom]
[Three]
[Two]
[One]
[Launch!]
*Oom
