“Destroying the Wraith realm? Forgive me for speaking frankly, but you alone will not be able to accomplish that” Shan Hai Qi Xia said.
Everyone also took that as a natural answer.
Although Gu Qing Shan became renowned through his battle in the past, it would still be impossible for him as a single person to triumph against the entire Wraith realm.
Gu Qing Shan grinned and replied: “Who said I was alone?”
“You mean you still have support?” Banishing Sword Saint – Wang Shun couldn’t help himself asking.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “All Combatants within the 900 million World Layers, all Abyssal monsters of the Eternal Abyss, countless Combatants under [Order], as well as the Deity and servants of [Chaos]. Naturally, there are also those whose identities cannot be disclosed, their strength far surpassing anything you could ever imagine; however, it would still be a while until they truly participate”
Shan Hai Qi Xia exchanged glances with the people on her side.
Her gaze met with Old Man Embracing Bones, then they both nodded.
The two of them each had a different ability to discern lies and truth, both of which had been constantly active, and yet Gu Qing Shan didn’t tell a single lie.
——–if this was the truth, this was a truly astronomical event.
Who would’ve thought Sword Saint Gu Qing Shan had such great forces backing him? No wonder none of the School’s defensive measures managed to stop him.
What he was about to do was related to a grand competition between the void and the Samsara, a war whose repercussions would ripple far and wide!
It seems that our caution towards Gu Qing Shan must be raised by a few levels.
“You disclosed such a shocking secret…” Old Man Embracing Bones muttered blankly.
Everyone’s expressions tensed up.
They couldn’t imagine that Gu Qing Shan would disclose such a disquieting secret so easily.
The entire void will be holding their breaths for this war, as it would surely affect the fate of every world in existence.
Gu Qing Shan gazed at his opposition, smiled, and said nothing else.
The circumstances he spoke of was in the future, something that would occur after the Soul Shrieker’s defeat——-
Speaking of the future while in the past, Gu Qing Shan’s words naturally didn’t contain any lies, and it was completely foolproof to any means of confirmation they had access to.
How would they know that it was something that would occur later on?
“Was your grace truly only passing by our School of Shan Hai?” Shan Hai Qi Xia cautiously asked.
At this point, she was even more concerned about whether or not the other party was scheming something against the School of Shan Hai.
After all, he had gathered the power of both [Order] and [Chaos], of the 900 million World Layers as well as the Abyss, such force wasn’t something that her School of Shan Hai would be able to resist again.
“It could be said that I merely stumbled across your world. In reality, I never had any plans to enter your School in the first place, I can guarantee that”
As Gu Qing Shan spoke, Shan Hai Qi Xia and Old Man Embracing Bones slightly nodded to each other again.
Shan Hai Qi Xia’s eyebrows loosened.
The truth again.
My lie discerning technique is the most powerful within the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, if he wanted to bypass it, he would need to be ten times more powerful than myself.
Not to mention, I’ve already seen Gu Qing Shan’s previous sword strike.
This person was most likely about as strong as I am, naturally, he might have countless other preparations, but he is definitely not ten times stronger than I am.
While she was thinking, Gu Qing Shan spoke up again: “Very well, I’ve displayed my sincerity, I hope that the Shan Hai Dean will inform me of that dried tree’s secret”
Shan Hai Qi Xia nodded and said: “That dried tree was an enemy of the Eternal Abyss, one-third of a strand of hair from the Space-Time Mystery Nest’s Lord”
“Please continue” Gu Qing Shan said.
“During the constant battles of the Samsara’s past, our Tomb of Myriad Beasts—–”
“Wait a moment” Gu Qing Shan cut her off, “May I ask, what did the Samsara in the past battle for?”
With that question, Shan Hai Qi Xia felt even more at ease.
So this Huang Quan Devil King truly isn’t interested in reorganizing the Huang Quan realm.
She explained: “The Heavenly Palace vanished, Huang Quan broke part, the Human realm disappeared into the unknown. Humans instead scattered into the broken fragments of the two realms of Wraith and Beast Kings, which laid close to some broken fragments of the Asura realm and the Asura themselves. With so many worlds staying so close to one another, for both the sake of survival and to become stronger, they naturally competed against one another”
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
So after the disappearance of heavenly beings, only the weapons of Huang Quan remained, while the Wraiths and Beast Kings all disappeared without a trace.
Only humans remained within the Samsara.
This perfectly matched my conjectures and understanding, it should be the truth.
Shan Hai Qi Xia continued: “Our Tomb of Myriad Beasts had been consistently laying low, planning on fusing 99% of the original Beast King realm fragments and becoming unprecedentedly powerful, to the point that the Asuras and humans from the Wraith realm no longer dared to invade us”
“Unexpectedly, during the final fusion, a great tomb that spanned across our entire world abruptly manifested”
“Our ancestors ventured into the great tomb, bringing back with them powerful weapons and inheritance after the very first expedition”
“This secret couldn’t be kept and was spread outside”
“Countless powerful entities from the void then arrived at our world to confirm the rumors, while we were helpless to stop them”
“Unexpectedly, innumerable Apocalypses erupted from the great tomb, eliminating those powerful entities in the mere blink of an eye”
“Including this Lord of the Space-Time Mystery Nest, his entire form erased by the Apocalypse, leaving only this strand of hair that managed to burrow underground, reaching this place”
“It wanted to take control of us and reform its body”
“Despite everything we did, we still couldn’t destroy it, leaving us no choice but to pay a great price to seal and trap it here”
Listening to her, Gu Qing Shan’s gaze fell onto the dried tree.
——-so this actually was a strand of hair, a strand of hair from an enemy of the Eternal Abyss.
No wonder it knew exactly who I am, most likely it managed to sense something from the Abyssal Ring I carry around.
This isn’t a domain that I can look into.
After all, the mere consciousness of the Eternal Abyss’s eyeball managed to erase the God of Life from existence.
This strand of hair was already sealed away, and yet still managed to discover me and recognize my identity.
These entities have already far surpassed my understanding, I have no way to determine the true degree of their power.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, lines of glowing text swiftly appeared in front of his eyes.
[Attention, you’ve triggered the following event:]
[Event requirement: Eliminate the Lord of the Space-Time Mystery Nest’s strand of hair, burrowing it in past history, never to rise up again]
[This is related to the fate of the infinite worlds of the void, by completing this, you will receive the countless feedback of Causality from the void, using it to activate the method to obtain the ‘Void War God’ Title]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
———this [Void War God] title quest has been silent for so long; I didn’t think that it would be triggered here of all places.
Is it because this monster was an entity of the void?
Gu Qing Shan silently pondered but didn’t draw any conclusions.
At this point, the dried tree’s voice once again resounded in Gu Qing Shan’s ear:
「 Don’t believe them, listen to me. I have a way to release the power of that ring you carry, it will be thoroughly turned into your power, making you the most powerful person in this world! 」
「 As long as you release me, I’ll make sure you’re rewarded as you deserve! 」
It constantly talked and talked.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth sword and silently asked: “What do you think?”
The Earth sword’s mountainous heavy voice resounded: 「 This thing isn’t easy to kill, using [Earth’s Choice] with your current strength will most likely require 50 million Soul Points 」
“That much?” Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
「 Indeed. It’s because I came from the Abyss that I have a chance to slay it in the first place. Any other weapon would not be able to completely slay it as it would simply regenerate 」the Earth sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly.
I’ve already used up a lot of Soul Points, if I use up another 50 million Soul Points right here, my remaining Soul Points reserve would be less than 100 million.
All that in exchanging for information regarding the [Void War God] Title…
What exactly is the value of this Title?
Is it really worth this much effort and expenditure?
Gu Qing Shan recalled the start of everything.
At the time, I gave up a unique Title: [Enemy of Chaos], to earn information regarding the [Void War God] Title.
The War God UI also specifically gave me a reminder that this was a Title with the suffix of ‘War God’.
Even now, I only have a single Title with ‘War God’ as the suffix.
[Starflame War God].
This Title can trigger the power of Causality, an extremely useful ability.
In that case, what could be inferred from this was that the [Void War God] Title shouldn’t be lacking…
Gu Qing Shan only took a few seconds to ponder before he asked: “Dean, you said that you spent a lot of effort only to seal it away?”
“That was indeed the case” Shan Hai Qi Xia replied.
Gu Qing Shan asked: “If I can help you eliminate it, is there anything you can use to repay me with?”
“Eliminating it… is impossible, Sword Saint Gu” Shan Hai Qi Xia answered.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her.
All of a sudden, two swords manifested from the void of space behind Gu Qing Shan.
One as clear as the water of autumn, bright and sharp.
The other was forged in a simple and ancient matter, emanating an endless aura of destruction.
Oong——-
Both swords flashed and traversed the distance to the tree in a single blink of the eye.
The autumn-water clear blue steel sword slashed first from a distance.
Countless mystical runes manifested in front of the dried tree, only to systematically shatter and disappear into nothingness within the slash of this sword.
The autumn-water clear blue steel sword only slashed a single time before stopping motionlessly in the air.
The sword of ancient design then flew down and drew a perfect arc——–
The light-blue arc then converged to form a perfect full moon that enveloped the entire dried-up tree.
The sword phantom abruptly shined like the sun itself!
Secret Art, [Full Moon Consecutive Slashes]!
Earth sword’s Thaumaturgy, [Earth’s Choice]!
「 AAAAAAaaaaaeeee——- 」
A sharp screech resounded from the dried-up tree, the shockwaves of which caused every rock and pebble in the vast field to crumble to fine dust.
This abrupt loud screech caused everyone to almost lose their footing.
Fortunately, the screech only lasted for a short second before vanishing.
The two swords returned to Gu Qing Shan’s back and faded into the void of space.
The dried-up tree in the empty field had already vanished.
Lines of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes:
[You’ve ended the Lord of the Space-Time Mystery Nest’s fate]
[The War God path had been opened]
[Attention, you will need to eliminate five kinds of monsters of the void in order to unlock the ‘War God’ unique Title: Void War God]
