"Are you still accepting people?"
The king asked.
From their previous conversation, he could tell that these people were extremely wealthy.
— — the only unexpected thing was that he didn't expect them to be this wealthy.
The king cautiously glanced at Gu Qing Shan and Lola.
The armors these two were wearing were beyond the value of money, even if he sold the entire Calming Soul Country, he still wouldn't be able to afford them.
Furthermore, the little girl was this man's servant.
He had heard the little girl call the man 'master' before.
Even if words couldn't be trusted, their relationship could still be verified through their actions and expressions.
The little girl was constantly paying attention to the man.
As long as he said anything, the little girl would seriously consider it; as long as he gave an order, the little girl would accept it without hesitation.
When he smiled, she would be happy.
When he frowned, she would be nervous.
— — without a doubt, this was a master and servant pair.
The king was a bit jealous.
Indeed, Calming Soul Country was a paradise for Demis, every Demi could directly awaken a Divine Skill and were naturally powerful.
But compared to this kind of servant …
A Divine Skill doesn't seem like much at all.
— — -just like how I had countless Divine Skills, but they still stabbed me with a scepter and almost took my life.
Right, that scepter was also a priceless treasure.
After everything is over, these people would definitely have a way to leave Calming Soul Country.
With that in mind, the king's mind completely changed.
Calming Soul Country is already under the control of monsters, what's the point of staying here?
— — -might as well follow them to the 900 million World Layers!
It would be best if I could join them.
The king felt his vision clearing up.
That was why he asked the question above.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "We are accepting people, but according to the rules of our Blade Edge Pledge, there is a 3-month probation period before accepting people"
"Probation period? Is it to test loyalty? "the king asked.
"That's not true, our organization consists of experts from all fields, there's no such thing as a single person's loyalty" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Hearing that, the king felt much better.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "The probation period is to allow prospective members to display their value and determine what kind of treatment they will receive after they officially join the organization"
"Treatment," the king repeated.
"Yes, treatment." Gu Qing Shan nodded affirmatively.
"Then, how do I become a reserve member?" the king asked.
"As long as you get the agreement of three members, you can be considered a reserve member" Gu Qing Shan said.
The king thought for a moment, then said decisively, "Alright, I will now officially apply to become a reserve member. I hope you will agree."
"After all, my combat power is very strong. I can be a good support for this team."
Gu Qing Shan agreed, "That's true. We need someone who can stand at the front. What do you think?"
Ye Fei Li and Jang Young-ho looked at each other.
Gu Qing Shan was indeed capable. She actually made up a rule of "probation period" on the spot, and she didn't even blink when she said it.
In fact, when this guy said "an expert who can truly stand at the front", they already understood.
Tsk.
It seemed that there was finally someone who could fight at the forefront of this exploration of the ruins.
Also —
Outside Calming Soul Country, the Soul Shrieker should have already arrived.
Hm …
The two of them nodded without hesitation: "No problem"
Gu Qing Shan patted the king's shoulder and said: "Very well, from now on, you will become a reserve member of the Blade Edge Pledge. You will have three months to prove your worth"
"And your worth will directly determine your treatment"
The king looked at Gu Qing Shan, glanced at the invisible wind around his body, then at Lola.
He couldn't help but point at Lola and asked: "About that … I want to ask, at what level do I have to reach to obtain a servant, just like you"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "That's not something you should know. You're only a reserve member, you can ask later"
The king was surprised.
I thought she would give me a few conditions to make me work harder, but this is what she said.
… right, it's not like she's begging me to join.
The king hurriedly said: "Ah, my apologies, I was being presumptuous"
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said nothing else.
That was the end of the topic.
In the darkness, the stone slab continued to float forward, slowly approaching the corpse pillar.
The first corpse pillar was getting closer.
The king once again closed his eyes and fell into thought.
"Let me think, some secrets seem to be unsealed in my mind"
He lowered his head and stopped for a while, only when the stone slab was about to float past the first corpse pillar did he show an expression of realization.
"I understand, these are the mythical creatures created by the Gods using the Abyss, they are all sealed inside the corpse pillars"
"I need a bit of time to chant a prayer to awaken them!"
The king raised the golden ring in his hand and chanted: "The God of Life has granted you unique forms, the power of the Abyss has granted you weapons"
"You have waited for this moment, this is the beginning of your awakening"
The golden ring suddenly lit up.
The king was overjoyed and continued to chant.
At the same time.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly covered his eyes.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
Lola immediately noticed something was wrong, grabbed his hand and asked worriedly: "Gu Qing Shan, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, one of my techniques is just a bit unstable" Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
He fell into thought.
Why would my eyes suddenly hurt at this time?
Could it be some sort of reminder?
But this is a World Technique that I created, not a living being, why would it remind me?
… that's not right.
There is indeed a will within this technique.
The remnant will of a parallel world.
Because I helped it win against [Chaos], it was able to join my Iris Technique.
What is it trying to tell me?
Gu Qing Shan undid the black cloth in front of his eyes and opened his eyes.
There was only darkness in front of him, he still couldn't see anything.
Wait a minute.
A scene slowly manifested in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
Countless corpses gathered to form giant pillars that stood in the boundless darkness.
The forest of corpse pillars.
It was still the same place. The same scene.
This forest of corpses was almost exactly the same as the real world that his inner sight sensed, but there were also some differences.
Gu Qing Shan observed the forest of corpse pillars with both eyes, constantly comparing it to the real world that his inner sight sensed.
— — this place was still the same, but there were some slight differences.
Some of the corpses on the pillars were arranged differently.
And in the forest of corpses that he could see, he didn't see them, nor did he see the stone slab.
As far as the eye could see, it was dead silent.
How strange, why did I see another forest of corpse pillars?
While Gu Qing Shan was confused, he suddenly heard a faint rustling sound.
It was as if something was crawling on the ground in a tiny, moving pattern.
Gu Qing Shan looked up.
Only to see a grey maw in the darkness above the forest of corpses.
This was an unimaginably large maw, so large that when it opened, it could almost swallow the entire forest of corpses.
The maw suddenly sucked in the countless corpse pillars below.
The corpse pillars split into two, revealing the various giant monsters that were slumbering within.
The maw slowly opened.
Thousands of long tongues flew out, quickly coiling around the slumbering monsters.
The tongues completely enveloped the monsters, turning them into a ball of flesh that madly wriggled.
Screams of pain resounded from inside the ball of flesh.
A few moments later.
The tongues all spread out.
All the monsters were devoured, not a single drop of HP was left.
The long tongues quickly retracted.
The maw also disappeared.
The world returned to darkness.
Complete darkness.
Gu Qing Shan knew that he had lost his sight again.
— — -but when exactly did that happen?
He tied the black cloth in front of his eyes and continued to think.
What does that have to do with my current situation?
Could it be that I saw the future?
— — in other words, I'm the same as the Earth Creator and have awakened the ability to see the future?
While Gu Qing Shan was carefully thinking, the king's voice resounded in his ears.
The king's prayer seemed to be about to end.
His voice abruptly became louder: 「 Divine power and Abyssal power, heed the God of Life's command, awaken from your eternal slumber and serve me! 」
The golden ring's light pierced through the darkness, illuminating the entire forest of corpse pillars as if it was daytime.
Rumble rumble rumble — — -
One after another, the giant corpse pillars split open from the middle, revealing the scene inside.
Empty.
Every single corpse pillar was empty.
The so-called mythical creatures left behind by the God of Life didn't seem to exist.
「 Empty! No! 」
The king shouted in confusion: 「 That can't be right! They were clearly slumbering here, how could they not be!? 」
But the others didn't care about what he said. They all looked up at the same time towards the darkness above the forest of corpses.
Although they couldn't see anything, they could hear a series of rustling noises coming from the darkness.
As if something was about to come.
The king was a bit surprised, then joyfully declared: 「 Ah, perhaps it's been too long, they've already awoken 」
He raised his head and looked up, waiting expectantly.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
— — -so what I saw just now was the world's past!
The terrifying creature that ate all the mythical creatures with its mouth alone.
It's about to descend!
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but shout: "Lola, [Shelter of Infinite Worlds]!"
Lola opened her flower umbrella without hesitation.
