The Earth World.
After the World Creator Mech used the most primitive form of propulsion rockets to send the polluted people off-world, Gu Qing Shan returned to the underground database bunker beneath the desert.
“Is turning this entire world into a world of steel going to affect you?”
He drank tea as he asked the Gold Coin.
Cling clink
The Gold Coin replied.
“Hm, that’s good to hear” Gu Qing Shan said.
The Gold Coin let out a doubtful ‘clink’.
Gu Qing Shan explained: “I’m actually thinking about something—— I want to turn your world into a mechanical world specifically to counteract supernatural power”
The Gold Coin thought briefly but felt that there wasn’t anything to fret, so it calmed down again.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan put his cup of tea down and seriously asked: “Can you travel through time again?”
The Gold Coin gave a ‘clink’ of denial.
——-the reason why it was able to take him back to the future from the Age of Old was because of a magic that the Earth Creator affixed onto it, giving the Coin two simultaneous powers of True Luck and Time Warp.
In the end, the most prominent power of the Gold Coin was the True Luck that could be used once every 100 days.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and typed a line of text onto the Holo-Brain on the table”
[Begin outer space search, priority level: highest]
The order was soon issued.
As the World Creator saw this order, it began to adjust the world’s main strategic goal.
The robots that were constructing the cities stopped their hands and received their new mission.
Right now, Gu Qing Shan needed to know what space outside this world was like before he decided what to do.
Fortunately, he already had all the technology necessary to conduct such a search, he just needed to leave it to the machines.
Gu Qing Shan put the cup of tea away, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes to begin cultivating again.
He still had an ample amount of Soul Points to utilize.
The necessary cultivation scriptures had already been recorded in his inner sight.
All he needed to do now was continue to cultivate and quickly become stronger.
A few moments later, Gu Qing Shan entered deep meditation.
——he was no longer reinforced with the [Demon King Order] that allowed him to advance without qualms or worry.
The War God System required him to break through on his own after providing him the necessary comprehension to do so.
And it was also how Gu Qing Shan had been cultivating from the start.
Without noticing it, his cultivation had already reached Three Thousand Worlds realm peak stage.
The next step would be for him to face the Measure Tribulation.
This was a great Tribulation that far surpasses the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Quad Tribulation, a place where countless cultivators fell.
Xie Gu Hong had already reached this stage, but due to him having too many things to worry about, and the sect was infiltrated by pawns of the Divinities who monitored his every waking moment, he simply had no way to find a safe place to face his Tribulation, thus prolonging it until his death.
Naturally, Gu Qing Shan was very cautious and followed his predecessors’ experience to carefully prepare for a period of time before he broke through.
After all, not only would he need to face a Tribulation, but he would also be paying a visit to the giant corpse for the first time in a long time.
——–he needed to make all the necessary preparations before that.
Cultivate.
Practicing swordsmanship.
Drink tea.
Gu Qing Shan repeated these three activities day by day.
It seemed as if he would never be impatient even if the world turned on itself and the entire 900 million World Layers were destroyed.
Time silently passed.
Gu Qing Shan remained stable day by day, settling himself down like a thick bog of water.
Until one day, Shannu couldn’t handle it any longer.
“Gongzi”
She flew out and landed next to him.
“Hm? What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
He poured a cup of tea and offered it to her.
“I have something I don’t know if I should say” Shannu hesitated.
“Go ahead”
“The Lords inside the Divine Power Crystals have already been stuck in that state for over a year, they might not be able to last much longer”
“Yeah, that makes sense”
“Little Dusk had already been captured for over a year”
“Correct”
“Su Xue Er and Anna are both staying within the seven Holy Churches, and they don’t even realize how dangerous their situations truly are”
“Indeed”
“It’s good that you’re preparing to break through here, but if you want to save her, you’ll have to come up with something soon”
“Very good, Shannu, you’ve improved”
Gu Qing Shan smiled and praised her.
Shannu felt elated from the compliment and couldn’t help but ask: “Does that mean gongzi already has something planned?”
“I do, don’t worry” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“But the Lords might already be at the end of their ropes, gongzi, how would you…”
“It’s too much effort to save them one by one, so I’m just not going to”
Shannu froze.
“You mean, you’ll leave them to slowly die inside the crystals?” she asked in confusion.
“Of course not, we only need to save some person to be able to save everyone”
“Who?”
“The one who brought them into the Strife Zones”
“But then… Lady Darksea was already… killed” Shannu muttered in a gradually lower voice.
Gu Qing Shan tilted his head up and finished his spirit tea before slowly explaining: “Our real mission now, is actually to find Little Dusk”
“Little Dusk?” Shannu was completely clueless.
Weren’t we talking about saving Lady Darksea just now? Why did the talk suddenly turn to Little Dusk?
Gu Qing Shan told her: “Indeed, I’ve already entrusted the matter of the three coins to Laura, so I’ll have to take care of Little Dusk and the Demon King by myself”
Shannu gasped with a look of realization: “I understand”
Indeed, gongzi is so unimaginable, he intended to use the coins to go back in time directly to the battlefield of the Spire to save Lady Darksea from that timeline and bring her directly to the current moment.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Darksea seems to know something about me, perhaps we were acquainted back in the Age of Old, so we need to save her, which would also save everyone else”
“That’s…”
“That’s why we don’t need to hurry. The first thing we need to do is carefully plan out every detail before we can take action”
“What is gongzi… going to do?”
Gu Qing Shan operated his personal Holo-Brain a bit.
“Today just happens to be the time when space exploration will be conducted, we’ll look at the results together” he said.
A light screen was projected.
Countless space shuttles were taking flight and heading out of orbit.
The World Creator appeared on the screen below and reported: [Godfather, it is estimated that we shall leave orbit and witness the true outer space in two minutes]
“Very good, I’m watching” Gu Qing Shan replied.
At this time, the Heaven sword appeared and turned into Luo Bing Li who landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
“What are these things?”
She pointed at the space shuttles on the screen and curiously asked.
Gu Qing Shan offered her a cup of tea and replied: “A type of flying implement”
“Similar to airships?”
“Yeah”
While they were talking, the space shuttles had left the atmosphere and entered outer space.
An endless sea of stars.
“How beautiful” Luo Bing Li sighed.
Shannu explained to her: “Every world is different——— some worlds exist within the same outer space but on different planets, some worlds exist within another world. For example, the world of the pixies is rumored to be a piece of lush green leaf that flutters all over the place—— but there are so many leaves in that world that no one knows for sure which leaf the pixies are hiding in. And then there are some worlds that are bound by their domain, they don’t exist in outer space, but in a different location entirely”
Luo Bing Li was stunned listening to that explanation, then muses: “If that’s so, the infinite worlds are actually scattered very chaotically”
“They are, that’s why Super Dimensional worlds exist to connect each of these worlds…”
“What is a Super Dimensional…”
…
Gu Qing Shan didn’t join their conversation as he had realized something and abruptly looked towards the secret database within this room.
Just now——– this database had just refreshed itself.
A few moments later, a screen of light appeared from the database.
A giant covered entirely in a surging grey flow appeared on the screen.
The Earth Creator.
It gazed carefully at the void of space and slowly spoke: 「 I have seen many visions of the future, but there were two that were most likely to happen 」
「 One of those visions was such: When the land becomes devoid of life, the machines rule over this world. My ally will be exploring the border of this world to help him determine the correct way to escape 」
「 Frankly speaking, I do not hope that this vision becomes true because if such a future were to happen, it means that I have run into very big trouble 」
「 However, this was still a plausible future, and so I must prepare the appropriate preparations for it. Otherwise, if the Earth World collapsed, not only will the Gold Coin disappear, but I will also lose most of my power 」
「 My friend, if you are watching this recording, that means I will have already encountered ‘that matter’. Please do not investigate it under any circumstances, it is a matter that you mustn’t even hear about 」
「 Take this star chart, a path that no ones knows in detail is drawn up inside that can help you return to where you came from 」
「 Finally, if all of this truly does happen, then the fate of countless beings will have been decided for them 」
「 All of this will lead to the following future 」
The Earth Creator’s voice became gloomy and pained:
「 The war between Abyss and all living beings will soon break out. A storm is coming once again, and you must be ready for it 」
「 Do not save me 」
「 Survive 」
The Earth Creator vanished from the screen.
A dim and mysterious star chart was now being shown on the screen of light.
