Golden light erupted from Gu Qing Shan's body.
As the surging dead sensed the power of the golden light, they no longer had the killing intent from before and simply stood still without moving.
Gu Qing Shan observed his surroundings.
Everything was still.
Within the scene, besides himself, nothing else could move.
Within the Measure Tribulation, the dark Law of Destruction also temporarily stopped as the golden light appeared.
Under the illumination of the golden light of Merit, Gu Qing Shan finally found a way to survive within the Measure Tribulation!
— — the Laws of Heaven and Earth support all living beings, but they are also affected by all living beings.
Cultivators who recklessly kill and destroy everything will be mercilessly erased by the Laws of Heaven and Earth during the Measure Tribulation.
But those who do good deeds to save living beings and protect the Laws of Heaven and Earth will also receive extra care from the Laws due to their Merit.
The Laws of Heaven and Earth wish for such people to continue living — — -
This was the true meaning of the Measure Tribulation.
This time, it was Gu Qing Shan's turn to face the true Measure Tribulation!
After a breath's worth of silence, the scene changed again.
From nothing to something.
An extremely pure light descended from the sky, resonating with the golden light of Merit around Gu Qing Shan's body.
As Gu Qing Shan looked at the light, he felt like there were countless tiny voices telling him about the light's identity.
It sounded like the sound of the wind, but it also sounded like many people were whispering to him.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly understood.
The Laws of Heaven and Earth are communicating with me!
They are telling me that this is the first light that was birthed by heaven and earth, a secret that's even more profound than the secrets of the world itself.
This light is called the [Indestructible Origin], and according to the legends, it's guarded by true Divinities, never allowing anyone to obtain it easily.
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
So I saved the world of the Samsara.
The light seemed to be attracted by the golden light around his body, turning into a thin thread that flew towards the golden ring behind his head.
The light wrapped around the golden thread, giving off a gentle white light.
Within the white light, Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of realization.
He just found out a true secret.
The secret of life and death.
"I see."
Gu Qing Shan mumbled as she looked at the countless dead people on the ground.
So …
The reason why the Initial Divine Light appeared was because Gu Qing Shan had done something extremely rare.
He had killed countless dead people.
The dead were people who had already died. They were the final form of life.
According to common sense, life was divided into life and death.
His body dissipated, and his soul left his body and entered a state of death, becoming a dead person.
The dead would always be reincarnated and would not completely disappear.
The cycle of life and death was endless.
But Gu Qing Shan used the Devil King Warden Rod's power to break the dead's state, pushing them into a state that they rarely see.
The soul dissipated.
Even after the soul dissipated, the last and most essential part of all living beings, the spirituality that contained all the mysteries, still remained.
It was not in Life Realm, and neither was it in Death Realm. It was in the most primitive state.
Chaos.
Primal chaos was the source of everything. Compared to all things, all living beings, and the world, it was where the deepest mysteries of the natural laws resided. It gave birth to everything.
That was why Gu Qing Shan pushed so many dead people whose souls dissipated into Primal Chaos at once, creating a rare Causality.
— — because he had used an extremely incorrect method, these entities were rejected by Primal Chaos, unable to merge with it or return to the cycle of life and death.
An incorrect method?
Hearing the Law of Heaven and Earth's description, Gu Qing Shan had a lot of thoughts.
He silently asked the War God UI: "What do you mean by an incorrect method?"
The War God UI went silent briefly before displaying a few lines of glowing text: [The power of the Samsara Divine Artifact originates from the Samsara itself. Although it is small, the power it contains is real, so it is incompatible with Primal Chaos]
"That's why the Law of Heaven and Earth took advantage of my Measure Tribulation to find me?"
[Indeed, you might need to make a decision now]
At the same time, countless whispers resounded in Gu Qing Shan's ears.
Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, Gu Qing Shan slowly understood what they were trying to say — — this was a miraculous occurrence.
The Law of Heaven and Earth was using the Initial Spirit Light to tell him that it was time for him to make a decision.
Either he used his Merit to save these entities that weren't even souls and return them to the state of death.
This way, the dead would return to their souls and return to the normal cycle of life and death.
Other than that, there was another choice.
Using the power of Merit, Gu Qing Shan could completely dissolve these entities into a part of Primal Chaos.
This would strengthen the power of Primal Chaos, but the dead would never be able to return to the state of the cycle of life and death.
They would turn into pure Primal Chaos power.
And now, the choice was in Gu Qing Shan's hands.
Should I let these villains return to Huang Quan to suffer, or should I let them completely disappear?
The endless whispers in Gu Qing Shan's ears temporarily disappeared.
The Law of Heaven and Earth was waiting for him to make his choice.
A few moments of silence.
Gu Qing Shan once again recalled how he killed these villains in the past.
"It's true that the heavens are benevolent, even we don't like to push others too far …"
He muses for a bit, then continued: "But for villains like you, I don't think there's any need to forgive any of you, you should all die"
Following his words, the Law of Heaven and Earth responded.
The light around Gu Qing Shan's body once again erupted, turning into a blazing sun that hovered in the sky.
Under the illumination of the sun, the bodies of the billions of dead turned into quicksand and slowly sank into the desert.
The billions of dead scattered into a sea of sand, no longer able to return to the state of life and death.
Lines of glowing text suddenly appeared on the War God UI:
[You've learned the true secret of life and death]
[You've automatically become the guardian of the secret]
[You've increased the power of Primal Chaos]
[The Laws of Heaven and Earth have been strengthened by a negligible strand because of your actions]
[The Laws of Heaven and Earth have changed their attitude towards you]
[You've received a gift from the Laws of the Inner Plane: World Origin]
[Your World Technique has become more stable]
[From now on, you have a complete Inner Plane, which will form various worlds according to the way you construct it]
[Furthermore, your Measure Tribulation has been completed]
Boom — — — —
The entire world collapsed.
The images shattered one after another.
The darkness that represented the Law of Destruction vanished without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan was pushed back into the Bramble Great Tree ship by an immense force.
In front of his eyes, the last notification appeared in the glowing text.
[You've become a Paragon realm cultivator]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
I'm already … a Paragon realm cultivator?
Why don't I feel anything?
While he was thinking, he suddenly felt a chill on his forehead.
A sky-piercing light shot out from his forehead, shooting straight into the space vortex.
His spirit energy was increasing at a terrifying rate.
10%.
20%.
40%.
70%!
His spirit energy had increased by 70%!
According to common sense, the amount of spirit energy determined the power of a cultivator's techniques.
With the boost of his spirit energy, Gu Qing Shan's fighting strength had almost doubled.
He clenched his fist tightly, exuding boundless fighting spirit as he stared at the countless entities within the space vortex.
Power!
I finally have great power!
At this moment, with the boost of spirit energy, Gu Qing Shan felt that he could easily fight against those powerful enemies.
I can even do that — — -
"Are you alright?"
A female voice suddenly resounded, cutting off Gu Qing Shan's thoughts.
Gu Qing Shan turned to look.
Lin.
Lin, who was wearing a set of majestic armor, an elemental gauntlet, completely unharmed and in peak condition.
Lin observed Gu Qing Shan and smiled: "Not bad, you've finally broken through. How about I use a bit more strength to spar with you?"
"Hah …"
"Hm? You were full of fighting spirit just now, why did you suddenly frown and sigh? "
"I don't want to discuss this with you"
