[The Empress] ship.
Gu Qing Shan was still conversing with the War God UI.
“Water God evolved from the human large-scale war system, [Chaos] becomes stronger the more it spreads”
“Then, where exactly did they come from?”
Gu Qing Shan questioned.
The War God UI remained silent.
Obviously, it had no intention of answering.
Gu Qing Shan could only give up.
He scanned his Thought Sea with his inner sight only to find that the star chart that the Earth Creator left him had already vanished.
——–the Earth Creator didn’t leave him any information regarding where Water God was kept.
After considering what he knew and various possibilities, he sighed: “There’s too little information”
At the moment, the [Demon King Order] was like a bird that became afraid of a slingshot, completely unreliable.
It would be great if I can use it to awaken Water God.
The power of [Human Regiment] couldn’t be ignored, and as long as it’s given time to mature and grow, the Soul Shrieker would not necessarily be its match.
This way, the Soul Shrieker would no longer have the leisure to pursue me.
Furthermore.
When [Chaos] needs to clash against a new [Order], it would also not be able to thoroughly mess the 900 million World Layers up.
Gu Qing Shan went over his thoughts a few times before confirming what he needed to do.
He asked: “War God UI, I have one last question”
[Say it]
“If an Apocalypse approaches too closely, would [Order] and [Chaos] cooperate to fight against it?”
The War God UI replied: [They will respectively fight against the Apocalypse]
This answer was perfectly woven, allowing him to imagine the relationship between these forces.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said nothing else to the War God UI.
He directed his inner sight towards the other UI in his vision.
——-the blood-red UI, [Demon King Order].
Gu Qing Shan called out to it: “Hey, we need to talk”
A line of bright red text appeared and started to flicker on the [Demon King Order]:
[Please quickly run for your life, the Envoy of Chaos is coming]
Reading this line of text, Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat.
“About that——– I actually wanted to tell you that other than running away, we still have other things to do”
Another line of bright red text appeared on the War God UI:
[This Order has already been defeated, please quickly run for your life, the Envoy of Chaos is coming]
Gu Qing Shan clicked his tongue.
So this [Order] has already lost its fighting spirit?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit to find the words and encouraged it: “You don’t have to feel dejected like that, I’ve already dealt with the Soul Shrieker once during the Age of Old. You should remember that quite well, so what we should do now is to carefully make a course of actions, use our heads, and consider ways to kill it again”
“No need to fear, as long as we try our best together, we can definitely accomplish that!”
After Gu Qing Shan finished, a few more lines of bright red text appeared on the [Demon King Order]:
[The Era of Chaos has descended, the Soul Shrieker will only get increasingly more powerful, to a point where you are unable to follow]
[Because of that, the only thing we can do now is——]
[Quickly run for our lives!]
Reading this last line of text, Gu Qing Shan was stunned for a bit.
It’s hopeless to talk to this [Order].
And it still calls itself the [Demon King Order].
Yes, the situation is urgent.
But what the heck can you do in that state?
Gu Qing Shan lost his patience.
He told the [Demon King Order]:
“Alright, then let me rephrase that—— quite simply, if you insist on acting this pathetically I’m going to find someone near-death to throw you onto and toss him to the Envoy of [Chaos]”
“I don’t need to wait for my death together with you piece of trash of an [Order]” Gu Qing Shan said with an indifferent and emotionless tone: “I’m sure you know about this, I was able to kick you out at the Age of Old, and right now, I can do it again”
Hearing those words, all the text on the War God UI vanished.
A moment of silence.
Two moments.
Three moments——
A line of text swiftly appeared:
[What would you like to do sir? This Order is sincerely listening]
Gu Qing Shan clapped his hand and said with open enthusiasm: “Now that’s more like it. It wasn’t hard to talk with his attitude now, was it?”
Another line of text appeared on the blood-red UI: [Venerable Demon King of Condemnation, please state your wish as you’d like]
Gu Qing Shan nodded: “If you’re already awake, I have something to ask——– why didn’t you awaken the other [Orders] to help you fight against [Chaos]?”
The blood-red UI stopped briefly before displaying new text:
[I only have a single mission, that is to have the Demon King descend upon this world]
Gu Qing Shan asked: “So did you accomplish it?”
[Only half]
“Half? What do you mean?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
The [Demon King Order] explained: “Because the Soul Shrieker entered the Fallen Zones at a crucial time of the summoning, causing me to be unable to fully finish and only end up with a corpse]
“Where’s the corpse now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Destroyed by the Soul Shrieker] the [Demon King Order] answered.
Gu Qing Shan recalled the information he heard before and nodded: “I remember now, the Soul Shrieker seemed to have fought against that corpse for quite a while——– if that corpse was that strong, why didn’t you continue the summoning?”
The [Demon King Order] replied: [All resources have been exhausted. The Soul Shrieker did not allow me enough time to conduct a second summoning]
Gu Qing Shan sighed: “So it was exactly as I thought. Your only solution now is to awaken more [Orders] to help you fight against the Soul Shrieker together”
[Incorrect, my only mission is only one thing, that is to have the Demon King descend upon this world]
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “But the current situation isn’t one where you can summon the Demon King again, you will need other [Orders] to at least show up in order to draw the Soul Shrieker’s attention”
The [Demon King Order] insisted: [Negative, my only mission is one thing, that is to have the Demon King descend upon this world]
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
He muttered in contemplation: “Seems like I really have to find a near-death person to shove you into before throwing him to the Envoy of [Chaos]”
The Soul Shrieker immediately said: [Please do not. If you do that, countless worlds within the void will be taken over by Chaos]
“I don’t care!” Gu Qing Shan impatiently shouted: “I’m going to find someone——- no, better yet, let’s find an animal and shove you into that instead”
He exaggeratedly turned around and shouted towards Zhang Ying Hao: “Hey, Zhang Ying Hao, you’ve been to Riddle world before, what’s the most common animal in this world?”
Zhang Ying Hao was currently discussing [Chaos] with Ye Fei Li, so he was startled when he was called out.
“The most common animal???”
Although he didn’t understand what Gu Qing Shan was thinking, Zhang Ying Hao still seriously thought about it before answering: “The most common animal in Riddle world would be pigs”
“Pigs?”
“That’s right, pigs. Pigs run rampant around the wilderness of this place”
Gu Qing Shan then stood up and walked towards the railings of the ship.
He muttered in his mouth: “I’m going to catch a pig, shove the [Order] inside, then give it to the Soul Shrieker——- this way, I’ll be safe”
Boss was lying on the deck right next to him, so as he heard those muttering, he couldn’t help but open his eyes ever so slightly to glance at Gu Qing Shan.
A person of his caliber and knowledge instantly understood what was going on with just one sentence.
The way Gu Qing Shan said that, he seemed to be purposely informing someone of his intention.
But there seems to be no one else here.
Which meant that Gu Qing Shan is actually talking to the final [Order].
Is he using this method to threaten the [Order]?
…how unheard of
Boss closed his eyes again.
Gu Qing Shan walked step by step towards the railing of the ship and was about to leap down——
When a hurried line of blood-red text appeared to stop him:
[Your Excellency, I was wrong, please do not put me onto a pig]
“Hm? Why shouldn’t I?” Gu Qing Shan asked curiously.
[I still have a holy mission]
“Didn’t you say you only had a single mission, that is to have the Demon King descend upon this world?”
[No, I still have another mission, that is to help you awaken other Orders] the [Demon King Order] replied.
Gu Qing Shan raised his thumb and praised: “As expected of something named the [Demon King Order]”
The [Demon King Order] then swiftly continued: [But before that, you will need to first find an Order before I can awaken it]
This time, it was Gu Qing Shan’s turn to freeze.
Find an [Order]?
That’s true.
If I can’t even find an [Order], how am I supposed to awaken it?
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
“Find an [Order]… hm, how should I go about looking for an [Order]?”
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
He couldn’t help but glance towards Boss.
In the Bramble Bird Kingdom, Boss sent Anna, Su Xue Er, Ning Yue Chan, and Lin away to their respective places in order to prepare for the fight against [Chaos]
Boss has a mysterious background, and he is my mutual saviour.
Perhaps he might know where to find the [Orders]?
Gu Qing Shan asked Boss right away.
Boss slowly kept his eyes closed and casually replied: “Don’t look at me, my previous place was very desolate, I didn’t have much contact with the [Orders], so I naturally don’t know where they’re hiding”
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to contemplate this himself.
In the Age of Old, to help me safely return, Water God was taken by the Earth Creator and went thoroughly missing.
Where would the Earth Creator put this slumbering Card?
