Gu Qing Shan and Lady Fusi instinctively held their breaths.
Both of them silently observed that figure.
“That is him” Lady Fusi confirmed.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The figure circled around the black flames several times while speaking:
“It is exactly as the information said… such a powerful [Order] is like a canna flower blooming in a storm, although it can display a ray of light within the endless darkness of the Apocalypse, a mere 10 seconds cannot possibly win against the Apocalypse, it can only——-”
His tone became full of killing intent: “At a certain moment in the future, prevent the full manifestation of the Era of [Chaos], and I shall alter that future”
The sound of battle resounded from outside.
The people of both factions were clashing against one another!
The person briefly listed, then took out a small brownish-grey bag from his chest.
“There’s not much time, fortunately, we had done everything we could to make this preparation”
While saying that, he opened the small bag and tossed a handful of dark golden fine sand into the black flames.
Oom!
The black flames suddenly rose up and manifested a faint humanoid figure.
It spoke with a puzzled tone: [Who was it, who granted me another kind of power?]
After being mixed with that dark golden fine sand, the humanoid figure manifested by the flames was gradually becoming more unstable.
Numerous special materials and substances appeared from its body, silently floating in the air as they gave off a glorious light.
The figure quickly muttered: “I have granted you the emotions of humanity. From now on, you shall have deceitful language; a gloomy and cold timid personality; malicious and lacking in emotions; up until the moment of your sacrifice, at which you shall embrace the Era of [Chaos] and become the final power for the Era to descend!”
“From now on, you shall accept your completely new self, and a completely new mission!”
The flame abruptly trembled, then completely retracted; the humanoid figure also returned to stability.
[I——understand—–]
The humanoid figure said.
The other figure stated: “Keep well in mind, you shall fight against [Chaos], only when you cannot win shall you flee as far as possible from it, up until a day when you are brought to place called the world of the Spire”
[And then?] the humanoid figure asked.
“Embrace the Era of [Chaos], after sensing the presence I left, it will temporarily not consume you”
The figure continued: “Once the Apotheotic Combat is over, the ‘Harbinger of Apocalypse’ End’ will appear. You must release all of your Prayers and imbue her with it”
“The 10 trillion years of Prayers would’ve accumulated would overwhelm her, forcing her to call out to us”
“We shall consume those Prayers and return to our peak states, thus reawakening”
[Understood——-] the humanoid figure replied.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze became focused.
So that was it.
So that was the crucial mission that Ye Ru Xi carried, acting as the catalyst to imbue the Awaitings from the [Chaos] faction with the Prayers of 10 trillion years.
No wonder the Era of [Chaos] regarded her with such importance, sparing no price to protect her.
The [Demon King Order], the Era of [Chaos], the Apotheotic Combat, the bronze palace of [Chaos].
Everything had already been predetermined, as soon as the Apotheotic Combat ends, Ye Ru Xi will be brought back to the world of the Spire, and the preparations will be triggered.
At that time, not only would the Era of [Chaos] fully manifest, but these Awaitings from the [Chaos] faction would also be thoroughly awakened!
Regardless of who becomes the founding Deity of [Chaos], they would still be powerless to stop the Awaitings of the [Chaos] faction.
The [Chaos] faction would emerge triumphant within this 10-trillion-year-war.
They will destroy every world, eliminate every living being, and bring about desolation to all—–
Until the Apocalypse ultimately ends.
These Awaitings…
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tightly, forcing himself to control his killing intent.
After finishing his entrustment, the figure nodded with a pleased attitude.
His gaze turned to the void of space, staring at the numerous precious treasures that appeared from within the [Order].
—–all of them were Dreamscape Soul Artifacts, personal artifacts of the Awaitings.
“These Soul Artifacts are the core from the side of [Order], I naturally cannot take them out, otherwise they will notice”
He muttered, then took out a rectangular box.
The treasures that flew out were placed within and sealed by dozens of Secret Arts, rendering them unable to be sensed any longer.
The figure silently listened to the commotion outside and mockingly said:
“We spent an untold amount of time to prepare a total of 3000 concealment Secret Arts, I’d like to see you try and find them again”
He strolled towards a certain corner, crouched down, then placed the rectangular box on the ground.
The rectangular box quickly faded away and sank into the ground, completely vanishing from sight.
“People from the side of [Order]”
“You shall continue to come here day by day, continuously creating your [Orders], but never will you find out that everything you’re doing would become a stepping stone for [Chaos]”
“This is my silent insult——– one that will follow you each and every day up until the moment of the Era of [Chaos]’s descent”
Saying so, that figure triumphantly chuckled, then slowly faded into the void of space and disappeared from the secret room.
One breath’s worth of time later.
“Has he left?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“He has” Lady Fusi replied.
She flew forward, pressed her hand on the ground, and muttered an incantation.
The rectangular box was taken out from the ground.
Gu Qing Shan silently watched this and said: “So he replaced the core of the [Demon King Order], no wonder it got involved in so many tricks and schemes later on”
“Indeed, with these cores still present, we still have hope” Lady Fusi’s gaze was filled with hope.
She carefully carried the rectangular box in her hands.
——that one probably didn’t expect that the entire process of his sabotage was discovered by two people who came from over 10 trillion years in the future.
Lady Fusi opened the box and looked carefully at the treasures inside.
“When you sacrificed the [Demon King Order], it had already obtained the Prayers of countless living beings, it was only because it had to wait for the descent of the Era of [Chaos] that it continued to hide itself” Lady Fusi muttered.
“I’ve always felt it strange, because of how fearful it was—— it has clearly evolved into its ultimate form already” Gu Qing Shan added.
Lady Fusi continued: “It had actually been waiting to be taken to the world of the Spire, waiting for the Apotheotic Combat to end”
“Lady Fusi, do you have any solutions?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lady Fusi shook her head: “Even though the [Demon King Order] has been altered, it has still gotten involved in numerous events for the next 10 trillion years. If we tried to change it again right now, the history of 10 trillion years would also be changed, we will be affected by the surging current of messed up Causality and killed off”
Gu Qing Shan pondered, then said: “We can simply not touch anything during this period of 10 trillion years, only changing the outcome at the very last moment”
“You mean——”
“Yes, that person had foreseen that the [Demon King Order] will be consumed by the Era of [Chaos], we will make it reality”
Lady Fusi observed him: “Go on”
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Can we somehow utilize these core components and also rig the [Demon King Order], to make sure that everything will happen as it had, only suddenly changing the outcome at the moment that the Apotheotic Combat ends?”
He made a slashing gesture with his hand and continued: “Like an assassin, only striking a single time when it’s most necessary”
Lady Fusi muttered: “Let me think…”
She fell into thought.
A few moments later.
She took out a few Dreamscape Soul Artifacts from the box and put them into the black flames.
Numerous mystical incantations were chanted for dozens of seconds before she finished.
“With my power, I cannot alter this [Order]—— that person also had to bring the preparations of the [Chaos] faction with him in order to change the [Order] we created”
“However, as the old saying goes, destruction is easier than creation”
“And I have a way to destroy all of their preparations”
As she explained, her long hair slowly turned silver-grey, her beautiful appearance gradually became withered and old.
——-even though she altered the [Order] only just a bit, even though she was an Awaiting, she still had to expend a great deal of power.
Gu Qing Shan stopped her from falling.
“It is done”
Lady Fusi tiredly wiped the sweat from her forehead, then handed a Dreamscape Soul Artifact from the box to Gu Qing Shan.
As Gu Qing Shan received it, he saw that it was a Card.
The Card depicted a snow-white unicorn, hanging on the unicorn’s neck was a bright red flute.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
