Gu Qing Shan also smirked.
“Empress Li Yang, about what we said before, you will help me defeat an enemy, and I’ll provide you with a world as payment”
He pointed straight at the ground below: “From now on, this world is yours”
Li Yang glanced at him, before she managed to say a word, the Progenitor had already pulled her behind herself.
『 So, you said you’re going to give this world to my daughter? 』the Progenitor asked.
“Indeed, this world is now hers”
『 Are you serious? Can you take responsibility for your own words? 』
“Very much so, and I can indeed take responsibility for my words” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Progenitor silently nodded with a sarcastic look on her face.
『 Daughter, today will be a lesson, let Mother teach you just how sly a human can be 』the Progenitor told Li Yang.
She stepped forward, pointing at the divine temple behind Gu Qing Shan, then faced all the Tianma sisters and explained: 『 Listen well, I’ve seen through the truth of this world—— that structure is the divine temple of the Old Gods, because of that, this place doesn’t belong to him, rather it’s a lost world of the Old Gods 』
The Progenitor then pointed above, saying: 『 Up there is a renowned barrier that contains divinity of the Old Gods—– this world’s very own protective barrier established by the Old Gods themselves 』
『 One of you, try flying up there to show everyone 』she ordered.
Several Tianma sisters competed to see who could reach it first.
Very quickly, a golden light could be seen in the sky.
The Tianma sisters returned and spoke excited: 『 Dear Mother and sisters, there really is a divinity barrier of the Old Gods, we couldn’t pass through 』
『 Very well, let’s go on 』the Progenitor continued: 『 Above the divinity barrier is an endless ocean, where a few normal creatures reside 』
『 Above that, is an outer shell of ice that formed its own world 』
The Progenitor smiled and looked at Li Yang, asking: 『 Daughter of mine, can you guess what is there? 』
『 I don’t know 』 Li Yang could only reply.
The Progenitor loudly declared: 『 It has been taken over by an army of 100,000 ghosts, as well as over 2 million demonized people! 』
『 They have already taken this world! 』
The Tianma sisters all became rowdy.
This man kept insisting that he would provide a world as payment, yet the truth was like this.
The Progenitor looked at Li Yang and spoke in a cold voice: 『 In other words, this world is either owned by the Old Gods, or it already belongs to the demons. There is no way that man over there has any claim to it 』
『 He promised you the payment of a world, but look, he has no world to give you 』
『 He has always been lying 』
『 Li Yang do you see it clearly now? 』
Li Yang could only step out from the group of Tianma sisters and knelt with one knee on the ground: 『 Your daughter understands 』
The Progenitor looked at her, sighed and shook her head: 『 How naïve… 』
At this point, a voice called out.
“Excuse me——- I’m afraid I’ll have to cut you off again” Gu Qing Shan said.
The Tianma all looked at him again.
This time, besides Li Yang, every other Tianma had a cruel and bloodthirsty look on their faces.
『 Fraud 』
『 You dared to try and deceive us Tianma 』
『 Sisters… 』
They all shouted in anger, clearly unable to hold themselves back.
Gu Qing Shan only smirked and circulated his spirit energy a bit.
Having wandered at the verge of breaking through for so long, the change in his spirit energy immediately got noticed by the Laws of heaven and earth.
In the sky, bolts of lightning exploded one after another thunderously.
A giant lightning dragon several hundred miles long peeked out from the clouds, watching the crowd below.
Seeing such a dragon born from Lightning Tribulation forced the Tianma to become speechless.
Gu Qing Shan took the Earth sword in hand again, infusing it with Soul Points.
The Earth sword immediately began to vibrate, giving off invisible waves of divine power.
Gu Qing Shan brandished the Earth sword muttering for them to hear: “You all refuse to listen to the end before trying to attack, do you perhaps think you can’t die here?”
Seeing this sword, the Tianma felt fear for the first time.
『 That is… 』
『 Yes, a sword that can kill us 』
『 What do we do? 』
『 Let’s wait and see what Mother thinks 』
They retreated.
The Progenitor stood in front of all the Tianma sisters and coldly smiled: 『 What? Wanting to use force after you got exposed? I’ve met too many people like you 』
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “I already said, I’m here to pay back my debt, if you believe this world belongs to someone else, that’s your problem, it doesn’t have anything to do with me. I only intended to let Li Yang know that this world really does belong to her now”
Li Yang suddenly looked up at him.
Is there really still a chance to overturn this situation? she thought to herself.
The Tianma sisters all focused their attention on him.
The Progenitor shook her head: 『 The Old God’s divinity still persists, the ghosts, revenants and demonized overrun the surface of the ice, how are you going to prove that this world belongs to you? 』
Gu Qing Shan smiled and answered: “You said you know this world very well, but do you know what this city you’re standing on called?”
『 How would I know such insignificant details—— so you intend to weasel your way out of this with words again? 』the Progenitor asked.
“That’s not the case, I’m going to prove to you that I know this world much better than you do”
Gu Qing Shan sighed and continued: “This city was built on a cliff of the highest mountain, the closest location to the ocean, so it was named Tidal city”
The Progenitor asked: 『 And so? This city was created by the Old Gods before they left this world, what does it have to do with you? 』
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “This world will naturally prove to you that it belongs to me”
As he said that, a flying sword came from the void of space behind him and shot up to the sky.
Chao Yin.
The ancient sword, Chao Yin!
Like a streak of light, it flew up without any resistance, stopping just at the edge of the sky.
It silently hovered there, waiting for something.
“Open!”
Gu Qing Shan softly utters a single word.
Receiving the order, the Chao Yin sword lightly stabbed its tip into the Old God’s barrier.
The Chao Yin sword was originally forged by the Gods and had already brought Gu Qing Shan in and out of the barrier several times, opening the divinity barrier once again is nothing but child’s play for it.
A single golden point of light slowly appeared in the sky.
And it didn’t stop——-
The point grew and turned into a circle that quickly expanded more and more.
The more it expanded, the clearer the blue ocean above the sky could be seen.
At this time, the entire Old God’s barrier had been opened by the Chao Yin sword!
Gu Qing Shan didn’t care to look at his rapidly decreasing Soul Points value on the War God UI and utter another word.
“Drop!”
Following his order, the Chao Yin sword let out a rapid ‘wu wu’ sound!
It was controlling the ocean!
In the Age of Old, the Old Gods forged this sword to anchor the four seas.
He who holds his sword is the king of all seas!
An unimaginable sight appeared.
The ocean itself fell from the sky.
The endless raging ocean flowed from the heavens like the Great Flood of legends, enveloping the world below.
Even Tidal city itself was completely submerged.
The world was now a part of the ocean.
Except for the plaza in front of the divine temple, where the water had purposefully avoided them.
The Tianma, the people of the Bramble Bird Kingdom, and Gu Qing Shan.
They stood there completely unharmed.
The turbulent water swept the sea creatures inside hurriedly away from the plaza.
At this time, the Tribulation clouds had yet to disperse, so the several hundred miles long lightning dragon was still swimming around the ocean water, illuminating the water current around them in a blinding blue electrical light.
This scene in front of them was nothing short of an act of god!!!
Everyone who was watching was speechless.
Gu Qing Shan reached out his hand.
Oong!
A sword came down from the sky, falling into his hand.
“The barrier isn’t a problem”
He said.
“The ocean also follows my command”
He continued.
“As for the ghost army—–”
He circulated the spirit energy inside his body just a bit.
The lightning dragon recognized his presence.
Roar!!!
The lightning dragon uttered a thunderous roar.
Its gigantic body of lightning descended, dancing around the plaza along with the flowing water current.
The plaza itself was now illuminated in a white-blue shade of lightning.
Gu Qing Shan looked to the Progenitor Fiendess, smiling: “Do you have any other problem?”
