Seaside World.
The hotel.
Gu Qing Shan had prepared several dozen formations in his room.
Early on, he just wanted to follow the Earth Creator’s prepared route and see what exactly this boss-class entity left behind for him.
But now, Lin’s wounds were recovering very slowly.
The Abyssal Demon Dragon was chasing closely after him.
He lost contact with Zhang Ying Hao and didn’t know where he actually was.
——-so it’s time to change my tactics.
First, I need to obtain some information.
Gu Qing Shan pulled the colorful rooster out with a serious expression.
Lin looked at his expression, then at the colorful rooster and said: “Your expression doesn’t fit someone looking at this thing”
“It’s a good item, ok?”
Gu Qing Shan helplessly sighed.
The War God’s personal intelligence function had been affixed to the colorful rooster and guaranteed that the colorful rooster would always provide intelligence related to Gu Qing Shan.
But this was related to the War God UI, so he couldn’t explain it.
Gu Qing Shan put his hand on the rooster’s head and pulled on its comb.
The rooster suddenly became alive and flapped its wings around in place a few times.
It then began to cry like a chicken:
“Cock-a-doodle——- wait, no. Sheesh, you startled me!”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Sorry about that, I need the intel for today”
The rooster opened one wing and looked up: “Then pay me some Soul Points please”
“You need Soul Points to work?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
The rooster replied with confidence: “Of course, in this day and age that’s close to the apocalypse, who’s going to work for free?”
Gu Qing Shan rubbed his temples.
This thing originally didn’t cost any Soul Points.
But the War God UI’s reinforcement was so good that it directly changed how this thing works.
“So you’re going to try bargaining as well?” Lin muttered.
She cracked her knuckles and fingers, giving off a series of popping sounds.
A terrifying presence began to exude from her body.
The rooster was shocked looking at Lin and muttered: “This is above a Lord…”
It immediately jumped onto Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder and loudly clucked:
“What do you want to do? You think you can just beat people up just because you’re beautiful?”
“So what if I do?”
Lin cracked her head and asked.
The rooster clucked in anger: “I’m going to tell you right now! If such a heroic, beautiful, peerless female warrior that everyone loves and respect like yourself try to beat me up, I would definitely not dare to retaliate at all”
Lin: “…”
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
“Alright, how much Soul Points do you want?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
He glanced at the War God UI——– ever since he returned from the Age of Old, he hadn’t used it at all, so he still had a bit.
The rooster judged his expression: “I want 40—— no, 45 Soul Points”
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
But because of how out of the ordinary this rooster had shown itself to be, he didn’t want to give up on the big picture just because of a small matter.
So Gu Qing Shan showed a troubled expression: “A piece of intel needs that much Soul Points?”
The rooster replied with a serious expression: “Listening in and collecting intelligence is a very tough thing to do, you need to understand this”
“What a cut-throat price, deal” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He put his hand on the rooster’s wing and transferred 45 Soul Points over.
Being soothed by the Soul Points, the rooster’s entire body shivered from pleasure.
“Hm, pure and clean power from the soul’s origin, how it relaxes my feathers so” the rooster muttered in satisfaction.
“Then, please tell me today’s intel” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Wait a minute”
The rooster closed its eyes, seemingly sensing something.
It then abruptly spoke up: “The crisis and fear from the Eternal Abyss had already begun to sweep into the 900 million World Layers. You must make the decision regarding the direction of your path quickly because the 900 million World Layers will soon be separated by the tide of the Abyss”
After telling him this piece of intel, the rooster turned back into a statue and went completely still.
It would probably need another day to be activated again.
Hearing that intel, Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances with Lin.
He suddenly recalled the final words that the Earth Creator left him:
…
「 Finally, if all of this truly does happen, then the fate of countless beings will have been decided for them 」
「 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 」
…
Gu Qing Shan abruptly stood up.
“That can’t be right. There must be something extremely severe happening in the Abyss right now. What exactly is happening that would force the Eternal Abyss to corrode the 900 million World Layers?”
He asked in a solemn tone.
Lin thought for a bit and replied: “It might have something to do with the Reality Gate. When I left the Abyss, I remember that the Apocalyptic calamities near the Gate were already beginning to spread”
Lin continued: “There were quite a few that even I find terrifying within the Abyss, so if even those ones feel threatened, the situation might really have taken a turn for the worse”
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
He then recalled the Fairy of Time’s words:
…
“This parallel world was extremely powerful, it desperately wrestled against the Apocalyptic calamity, transcended the ‘parallel’ Law, fell into our Eternal Abyss and drifted around the Reality Gate”
“When any living being in our reality approached the Reality Gate, their Fate would be assimilated and corroded by that parallel world”
…
Seeing him remain silent, Lin couldn’t help but ask: “What do you think about this?”
Gu Qing Shan swiftly reorganized the entire situation in his head and muttered in a low voice: “I think that kind of corrosion is currently sweeping across the entire Eternal Abyss”
Indeed, the corrosion that came from a powerful parallel world that wrestled against the Apocalypse to the very end.
The fate that befell it was currently eating away at the Eternal Abyss!
This was an irresistible death, not even the Earth Creator could resist being killed within the Fate Corrosion.
This would be the only reason why those extremely powerful Abyssal monsters would escape from it and take refuge in the 900 million World Layers!
Gu Qing Shan’s heart slowly sunk to the very bottom.
A mere avatar of the Soul Shrieker was enough to sweep across the entire 900 million World Layers and is still fighting against the [Demon King Order] in the Fallen Zones even now.
What if its main body came?
What if a monster even stronger than it comes?
This can’t go on, I need to change my strategy!
Gu Qing Shan spoke seriously: “I have to summon a few friends right away, I hope that you won’t kill them due to a small bit of offense”
Lin scoffed and replied: “I’m not an unreasonable person, as long as they don’t bother me”
Gu Qing Shan continued to persuade her: “Please try to keep your calm. With people helping me, my business would be done a lot quicker, and after your ring returns, I would be able to come with you to the Reality Gate right away”
Lin thought for a bit, then replied: “Very well, as long as they don’t try to take advantage of me being wounded to try anything”
Gu Qing Shan sincerely told her: “Don’t worry, they’re all good people”
Saying so, he tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a black piece of cloth.
——this black piece of cloth used to be a newspaper that Kitty secretly gave him.
But Kitty’s actions naturally carried their own reasonings.
Gu Qing Shan once used this black cloth to find the wounded Yun Ji.
Indeed, this was the secret communication device of the Blade Edge Pledge.
The Blade Edge Pledge was a secret organization that Yun Ji, Barry, Kitty, and Bloodcloak were all a part of.
The piece of black cloth’s main use was for the Blade Edge Pledge members to communicate with one another.
Gu Qing Shan opened the piece of cloth and tried calling out:
“Barry, can you hear me?”
Various noises came out from the cloth.
But after a while, no one replied.
Gu Qing Shan had to call out again:
“Kitty? Are you there? Please talk to me”
More noises came from the piece of cloth.
But still, no one replied.
Lin shook her head: “That thing of yours is quite decent, but perhaps your friends are a bit too far away that they couldn’t receive the signal”
Gu Qing Shan still didn’t give up, put both hands on the cloth and loudly called out: “Kitty, I know you’re the most powerful spatial technique user, you can surely hear my voice, can’t you?”
One minute.
Two minutes.
Time slowly passed, but no reply came from the black cloth.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in disappointment.
At this time, a female voice suddenly came from the black cloth:
[Kitty here, Gu Qing Shan? Is that you?]
