Everyone was expressing their wishes.
"I want to approach that human Duke and ask him what he did to be conferred the title of Duke of the Bramble Bird Kingdom"
"I want more wealth."
"I really like the Bramble Bird Kingdom, as soon as the ceremony is over, I'm going to stay here without leaving"
"I want to see Lola's true face"
At the venue of the ceremony, countless guests began to express their wishes.
Among the infinite worlds.
Those who heard the music or saw Gu Qing Shan's group dancing also expressed their wishes.
"I don't want to go to work today, the Apocalypse is coming, I want to go play some games"
"What kind of woman does this human Duke like?"
"The Apocalypse is too terrifying, before the Apocalypse, I want revenge"
"Young lady, it really wasn't me last night"
"When will my book become popular?"
"Does he love me or not, I really want to know the answer"
…
Countless living beings expressed their wishes.
Billions of worlds, countless living beings.
At this moment, they all expressed their greatest wishes.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What exactly is going on?"
He, Ye Fei Li, and Jang Young-ho stood still, slowly tapping the beat.
The dance had come to an end, so he now had the time to ask the reason.
Very quickly, the bald old man's voice resounded in his mind:
"Since you've successfully performed the second stage of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance, you are qualified to know a few things"
Gu Qing Shan immediately sensed something flickering between his eyebrows as something entered his Thought Sea.
Oom — —
Countless pieces of information flowed in one after another, flashing through Gu Qing Shan's mind without stopping.
Magnificent, never-before-seen scenes began to manifest, showing the beginning of the Bygone Era.
Within the silent darkness, countless blazing suns quickly flew forward.
They passed through indescribable barriers, passed through incomprehensible desolation, and arrived at the space vortex from an extremely faraway place.
Indeed, in the beginning, there were no worlds, only the space vortex.
After flying for a certain point, these suns finally stopped.
The light faded.
Gu Qing Shan finally saw the true face of "The Sun."
These 'suns' were all gigantic steel spaceships, each of which was as big as an Abyssal Behemoth, or even much bigger than an Abyssal Behemoth.
In the command room of a spaceship, Gu Qing Shan saw the bald old man.
The strongest human of the Bygone Era was issuing an order to the entire fleet:
"I order you to report the situation immediately."
"Yes!"
A series of reports rang out in the control room of the spaceship.
"Fleet losses have reached 79%."
"Crossing the parallel barrier completed."
"All flight fuel is basically depleted."
"According to the analysis of the final fluctuations coming from behind, we can confirm that our original world has been completely destroyed."
[Current environment: Unknown Parallel World]
The bald man listened attentively and asked, "Did we lose any of the species we stored?"
"Sir, the loss rate is 21.793%."
When the bald man heard this, his expression relaxed a little.
"Fortunately, as long as the species remains, we can continue to reproduce. Everything has hope."
He murmured.
The image suddenly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan regained his senses.
He noticed that only a split second had passed.
Everything around him seemed to be under some sort of spell.
Time passed very slowly.
Everyone fell into their own thoughts, unable to come out for the time being.
Gu Qing Shan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
It couldn't be helped, what he saw just now was too shocking.
"Do you understand now?"
The bald old man asked.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded and muttered: "So this place was an endless space vortex, and all life forms here originated from your homeland — — - a destroyed parallel world"
"Indeed, that is the answer" the bald old man replied.
"Then there's a problem" Gu Qing Shan asked, "why didn't you escape to another parallel world and instead stayed in the space vortex?"
The bald old man replied: "Our ship's energy has been depleted"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "I believe that with your abilities, you would definitely have a way to replenish the ship's energy"
The bald old man replied: "It's not as simple as you think, this place is a vast void between parallel worlds — — we've never been to another parallel world before, it was only because of the threat of destruction that we were forced to move"
"In truth, we don't know how to escape from this space vortex either, we don't have a way to go to another parallel world"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "But since you're here, logically speaking, there must also be a parallel world similar to this place, can't you find even a single clue?"
"Many of us have spent our entire lives studying Space-Time, only to discover even more truths that caused some of us to go insane — — - the greatness of Space-Time is truly unfathomable" the bald old man replied.
Gu Qing Shan immediately explained: "You discovered the Reality Gate in the Eternal Abyss. You believed that place to be some sort of passage, so you left this place and went through that gate"
"Correct" the bald old man sighed: "This void is too dangerous, not only is there the Eternal Abyss, the Space-Time Maze, the Abyss of Broken Worlds, there are also countless other terrifying entities — — we need to leave this place as soon as possible"
"What do the Bygone Era you're talking about have to do with this Dance we're performing right now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The bald old man's expression became extremely solemn.
"Gu Qing Shan, do you believe in God?"
"I believe it to be some sort of even more powerful entity"
The bald old man chuckled.
"It was only right before my death that the real me decided to pass this Dance down"
"It was the greatest discovery we've ever made in this space vortex"
"This Dance is capable of awakening a certain power — — an unparalleled power that none of us have ever come into contact with before"
"But no one has ever been able to perform it all the way to the final stage, including me"
"Don't you have 9 stages of the Dance that you want to teach me?"
"I can only lead you to the 2nd stage, from the 3rd onwards, you will need to be taught the corresponding Dance, as will be the same for each subsequent stage"
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask the question in her mind: "Wait a minute, why did you do all of this?"
"In the end, you are all lifeforms born from our world, our compatriots, so I have to leave something for you"
The old man's voice carried a bit of warmth: "I believe that a person who is willing to sacrifice himself to kill the Magic Dragon wouldn't be a particularly bad person — — after all, even we wouldn't dare to do such a thing in our era"
"I understand, in other words — — - this Dance doesn't exist to contain the power of the Magic Dragon?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Don't underestimate it, restraining the power of the Magic Dragon is nothing but a small matter for it" the bald old man replied.
He seemed to have something else to say, but quickly stopped.
"Look, it's coming!"
The bald old man shouted.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly looked up.
While he and the bald old man were looking forward to it, while everyone else was still in a daze, the scene of the ceremony began to change.
All the Divinities in the sky were gently lowered to the ground.
An invisible entity manifested.
Although he couldn't see it, Gu Qing Shan could clearly sense this invisible entity.
He felt like he was standing in front of an endless blazing light.
All of a sudden, where the invisible entity was, a hoarse female voice slowly resounded:
"… Sacrificial Dance … how regretful … this little Prayers … is still far from enough …"
Hearing that, the bald old man panicked.
He suddenly flew out from between Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows, sincerely knelt down on one knee, and spoke:
"No matter what, please grant this Sacrificial Dance in front of you a tiny sliver of hope"
"He is only an ordinary and ordinary living being, without your guidance and protection, he would not be able to pass on the Sacrificial Dance"
The bald old man knelt down.
Silence filled the void of space.
"Ordinary … and ordinary?"
The hoarse female voice resounded again.
From her tone, it seems like she didn't agree with that.
"Your understanding of him is too shallow, but … the Sacrificial Dance does need to be passed on … very well"
After saying so, the female voice disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan could clearly sense that the invisible entity in the void of space had disappeared.
Indeed, that entity had left.
At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You've been granted the third stage of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance]
[Due to your unique identity, your third stage of the Sacrificial Dance is different from others]
[You've obtained the Sacrificial Dance of the Four Pillars]
[The Dance of the Earth God has been passed on to you]
