“Gu Qing Shan, we need to leave now” Lady Fusi
“Where are you going?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lady Fusi replied: “We can’t let Darksea busy herself with everything, so we need to go help her. As the various [Orders] continue to grow, our power would gradually increase until we regain the peak of our strength, or perhaps even surpassing it”
“As for you—— Gu Qing Shan, you’ve awakened us at the most dangerous moment, otherwise, our outcome would have been extremely unsightly” the rock-man said.
“Indeed, you’ve even defeated [Chaos]—- the guys who opposed us in the past will probably not have a chance to awaken anymore” the dual blade old man commented.
The giant axe young girl turned to Gu Qing Shan and told him with interest: “Now, since you’ve become the [Order]’s Songster of Night, you’d be able to summon us whenever you wish from now on”
She lightly licked her lips with her pinkish red tongue.
Gu Qing Shan could only pretend that he didn’t see it.
Lady Fusi giggled and helped him by changing the subject: “After not too long, the Apocalypses would attack again, so we need to seize our time and increase the power of [Order]—– once we regain a little bit of our power, you’d be able to contact us at any moment; all you need to do is sing”
As she said that, lines of glowing text appeared in front of his eyes:
[You are the only Songster of Night of the Era of Order]
[You can summon the numerous Awaitings at any moment through your singing]
Under Lady Fusi’s lead, the Awaitings nodded to greet him, then flew into the air and vanished.
The Thousand Dragons Ancestor said: 「 Brat, we’re going to recover our strength through [Order] now—— remember, don’t let your voice crack the next time you sing, do you know how humiliating that is? 」
“I’m not an expert at singing” Gu Qing Shan tried explaining.
「 —–Then try a song that’s easier to sing 」
The Thousand Dragons Ancestor patted his shoulder, then also vanished into the Boundless Void.
The Awaitings had all left.
Only Gu Qing Shan and the skeleton remained on this cold dark planet.
“Esteemed lady, you haven’t returned yet?” Gu Qing Shan respectfully asked.
That existence’s spirit still remained within this skeleton.
Speaking of which, it was quite strange. This skeleton was clearly a dead person, but this esteemed lady managed to possess it just fine.
The skeleton looked up at the sky for a bit before finally speaking in a hoarse female voice:
「 Do you have any cigarettes? Give me one 」
Gu Qing Shan was about to say no, but suddenly recalled how Gu Qing Shan one secretly handed him a few packs.
…
“Even if you don’t smoke, sometimes you need to have some ready to give to others”
…
This was what Zhang Ying Hao said at the time.
Gu Qing Shan then searched his Inventory Bag with his inner sight, taking out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from it.
「 Thanks 」
The skeleton lit the cigarette, took a deep drag, then breathed the smoke out.
The skeleton looked a bit lonely, as all of its gestures appeared to be either lonely or forlorn.
「 Go ahead, settle the souls in your eye first, then I’ll talk to you about something 」the hoarse female voice told him.
“Ah, yes” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He stood still, but his inner sight reached into his left eye.
—–thanks to [Huang Quan’s Guidance], he had been able to fuse several fragments of Huang Quan with his left eye and create a miniature Huang Quan realm inside.
At the very next moment.
He manifested a tangible form and landed inside the Huang Quan realm.
The bank of the Forgetting River.
Someone had already been waiting here.
Xiao Die, Fei Yue, the blind nun, and the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower.
“He’s here” the blind nun said.
「 Gu Qing Shan, is this place a Huang Quan world? 」the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “It is”
Xiao Die sighed and wiped some tears from her eyes: 『 Who would have thought, before my son had even grown up, I’m already dead 』
“The Samsara’s Huang Quan… are we going to reincarnate? I heard that one would forget everything during reincarnation” Fei Yue asked nervously.
After a short moment of silence, Gu Qing Shan replied: “In actuality, all of you had participated in the battle against the Apocalypse—— this was a battle to save billions of worlds, so I assume that your Merit had reached an immeasurable number, if you reincarnate, you’d be rewarded with untold blessings and fortune”
His tone then changed a bit: “Although I say that, I’m not exactly sure how this would be calculated, and there was a serious problem before this would be taken into consideration”
“After not too long, the Apocalypse will once again attack the Reality Gate, which would cause the Samsara to be broken and destroyed again”
“Because of that, I have a personal suggestion—–”
“Don’t reincarnate, there’s no longer enough time for that”
The four of them silently listened.
“Then what should we do?” Fei Yue asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Remain here and participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy with me”
Xiao Die’s eyes lit up.
If I don’t reincarnate, I’d be able to retain all of my memories, powers, and I might even be able to meet my son again.
『 We’re currently dead people, do you have a way for us to remain in Huang Quan? 』 she hurriedly asked.
Gu Qing Shan recalled what happened at the passage leading into the Dusty World and answered: “There is one solution, that is to turn you into Deities of Huang Quan—– I’ll take care of it”
Everyone exchanged glances.
Fei Yue asked: “If we remain in Huang Quan, would we be able to retain our previous abilities?”
“Of course, even dead people would be able to retain their original combat prowess, it wouldn’t be until after you’ve reincarnated that you forget everything” Gu Qing Shan explained.
Xiao Die raised her hand in front of her chest and softly asked: 『 Then, would I be able to meet my son again? 』
Gu Qing Shan smiled and gently told her: “Don’t worry, I will make sure that you all become Deities of Huang Quan, this way, you’d be able to freely travel between the realm of the living and dead. Even if there were any complications, I’d be able to let you see him again through summoning”
『 Truly? 』
“Truly, I’ve already summoned a fatty, there wouldn’t be any issues with summoning you all as well” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Xiao Die sighed in relief, then said firmly: 『 Then I’ll remain and fight by your side 』
The Master of the Ominous Demon Tower said: 「 I as well 」
Fei Yue raised her hand.
Countless threads of Fate hovered on top of her palm, drawing out mystical runes patterns.
Even the two most powerful Apocalypses in the Reality Gate were restrained briefly by this power of Fate.
It was because of this power that Gu Qing Shan managed to save Demon Dragon and eventually overturned the situation.
Fei Yue said: “I carry the entire power of Fate within the Boundless Void, I won’t reincarnate just to lose it”
“Indeed, if you remain as a Deity of Huang Quan, there’s no telling how powerful you would be able to become in the future” Gu Qing Shan praised.
Three of them had agreed, one remained.
The blind nun told everyone: “Then I’ll reincarnate”
Everyone was surprised.
The blind nun sighed: “I’ve obtained countless powers and abilities during my life, but never have I ever seen light. This is my entire life’s regret”
Gu Qing Shan nodded: “With your Merit, you would definitely gain a clear pair of eyes during your next life”
Everyone has their own choices to make, and as a comrade, what they should do is give her their blessings, not stop her.
The blind nun waved goodbye to everyone, gave Xiao Die and Fei Yue a group hug, then finally walked into the Forgetting River.
Not too long after that, she sank into the river and thoroughly disappeared.
“Qing Shan, then we’re going to wait here for you” Fei Yue said.
“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied.
『 Gu Qing Shan, do your best, hurry and get some Huang Quan Divine Weapons, I’m afraid that my son might feel sad if I leave him alone for too long 』Xiao Die told him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get to it right away” Gu Qing Shan gave them his word.
He bid farewell to the trio, then flew up onto the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
A man in black clothing was standing at the peak of the mountain, silently looking down on the faint yellow water of the Forgetting River.
Demon Dragon.
He had been standing here the entire time, thinking about something.
“What’s your answer?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Just now, you said that our reincarnation would enjoy untold blessings and fortune?” Demon Dragon asked.
“I did” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“But there was a prerequisite to that, which was the Samsara not being broken and destroyed by the Apocalypse once again” Demon Dragon continued.
“Indeed” Gu Qing Shan confirmed once again.
Demon Dragon then asked: “What is the Samsara Clash for Supremacy?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’m not sure either. All I know is that there’s going to be a fight, and after the fight, we’re going to fight the Apocalypse”
Demon Dragon stayed silent for a bit and finally gave his answer: “The Divine Weapon, it’ll be fine as long as it’s a claw gauntlet”
Gu Qing Shan grinned and replied: “I’ll try and be quick about it”
Demon Dragon nodded.
Gu Qing Shan then left the Huang Quan realm in his eye.
—–there was still one person missing.
He recalled all the events up to this point and asked: “Lady Darksea, why don’t I see little Wei anywhere?”
[She was the rare carrier of a unique template, I’ve already transported her away at the time] Lady Darksea replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
If something had happened to little Wei, there’s no telling just how sad Shroud would be.
Then next up——-
My job will be to head to that Huang Quan world with plenty of Divine Artifacts, then search for a few for everyone to receive and become Deities of Huang Quan!
Gu Qing Shan mentally made the arrangements, then walked up to the skeleton and clasped his fist: “Esteemed lady, I’ve taken care of everything”
The skeleton threw the cigarette bud away and turned to him.
「 —–the owner of the twine and the user of the twine must accompany one another in order to enter the Dusty World 」
「 With this last bit of power, I will pull the owner of the twine here so that you won’t need to waste any time 」
She reached out with her skeleton hand and caught Gu Qing Shan’s wrist.
——holding onto the Twine of Cloud Atlas, she exerted some strength and pulled.
Instantly, the void of space opened.
A beautiful little girl fell out and rolled on the ground.
However, her sense of caution was excellent, as she immediately stood back up and took a defensive stance.
“Who? Where am I?”
After looking closely at her surroundings, Laura’s expression suddenly changed as she screamed: “—–Gu Qing Shan!”
