"The king died in the ruin, devoured by the Occultism spirit"
"The prince … died in this room due to the backlash of the covenant"
"Which means, this child is the last descendant of the God of Life?"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the sleeping child and asked.
Xuan Ya nodded.
She hurriedly told them something.
Ye Fei Li translated: "The change of the throne will surely shock the entire Calming Soul Country, the protectors of the royal family will all come here"
"We need to quickly avoid them"
"Furthermore, although the four Deities won't come here right away, they will surely show up at the same time during the coronation ceremony"
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: "There's no time to leave — — hurry, Lola!"
"Understood"
Lola opened her umbrella.
Everyone grabbed the umbrella's handle and disappeared.
A few seconds later.
Bam — —
The door was pushed open.
Several fully-armored Demis came in one after another.
The presence they exuded was almost the strongest in the entire Calming Soul Country, it was obvious that they had grasped a powerful Divine Skill and possessed power that surpassed normal Demis.
These people silently stood around the child's bed.
They silently observed the golden light that continuously radiated from the child's body.
"Is this the last descendant of the royal family?"
One of the protectors muttered.
"That's right, he was born from the prince and the protector Xuan Ya. Unfortunately, Xuan Ya has never been recognized" another protector sighed.
"No matter how much she isn't recognized now, she has no choice but to be recognized. She is the mother of the new king, and according to our intelligence, her soul wasn't devoured by the monster …"
They exchanged glances and understood each other's intentions.
Another protector said: "Let's go, bring him back to the royal palace — — this doesn't just concern our oath, but also the safety of the entire world"
"That's right, nothing must happen to him, otherwise, the bloodline of the Deities will be cut off and the entire Calming Soul Country will be destroyed"
"Hmph, no matter how arrogant the four Deities and that monster are, they wouldn't be willing to see this world destroyed, that would only heavily injure or even kill them"
The protectors discussed among themselves.
They took the child and left the room.
A few moments later.
As Lola was about to close her umbrella, Gu Qing Shan and Boss both stopped her.
Time passed slowly.
Suddenly, four profound and obscure auras appeared at the same time.
A voice resounded from the void of space: 『Is that the final bloodline of the God of Life?』
Another voice replied: "Unclear, the master is currently making the final confirmation"
The third voice replied: 「 That's a good thing, the new king is a three-year-old child, so he won't be able to lead the Demis for a long time 」
The last voice said, "That's not necessarily true. We still have to check if he has any immediate family members …"
"Alright, let's go. We'll see what Master says when we return."
"We must be present at the coronation ceremony. It's a good chance to spread the power of the gods. Let's go."
The sound gradually faded away.
After a long time.
Gu Qing Shan, Jang Young-ho, Ye Fei Li, Boss, and Lola reappeared.
"Fortunately, you guys reacted quickly. It was really dangerous just now," Lola said with lingering fear.
The others were deep in thought.
"Did you hear that? They will appear at the coronation ceremony at the same time "Jang Young-ho said.
"Time is of the essence, we should begin our preparations now" Gu Qing Shan said.
…
On a remote and uninhabited cliff.
Ye Fei Li and Jang Young-ho had already displayed their killing prowess.
Boss praised them: "Although you two aren't particularly strong, you're quite talented at killing, and your unique abilities are quite decent"
"Then what about you? Didn't you recover a bit of your strength? "Jang Young-ho asked.
Boss walked towards the cliff and muttered: "I've only recovered a bit of my Abyssal power, but it's already considered quite advanced within the Abyss. If you hadn't met me, you probably wouldn't have been able to witness this power for the rest of your lives"
The Book of Prophesized Destiny appeared next to him and automatically flipped open.
Standing in front of the cliff, Boss tore off a page and muttered: "Ignite!"
A grey flame appeared on the page.
Boss's hand flickered.
The burning page disappeared in an instant.
Boss turned around and told everyone: "I can't use the Star Firefly because I've already recovered a bit of my power. I don't want to throw away the situation and easily die again — — - that would make everything I have return to zero"
"So watch carefully — — -"
He opened his palms and muttered: "Flames of Nihility"
Boom!!!
The towering cliff was suddenly engulfed by the grey flame.
The cliff exploded with a loud bang, then quickly shrank and collapsed into a small gray dot.
Very quickly, the grey dot also disappeared without a trace.
Not a single physical object remained.
Boss's voice resounded:
"As you can see, this Flames of Nihility is very powerful, even a fake God would be killed by this power"
Standing in front of him, everyone was a bit impressed.
"What unparalleled power" Jang Young-ho looked at the clean crack on the cliff and couldn't help but praise.
"As expected of Boss, if he used his full strength, he would probably be able to win against those fake Gods" Ye Fei Li raised her thumb and silently thought about how she should deal with this attack.
"The strongest Combatant of the Abyss sure is impressive"
Lola also couldn't help but comment.
She was a bit distracted and began to think about the Abyssal Soul Artifacts that he mentioned.
Boss smiled and wiped the sweat off his forehead: "Of course, I'm the strongest Combatant above the Star Crown, the strongest entity within the Abyss, you have to keep that in mind"
The three of them regained their senses and hurriedly nodded.
— — but Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything.
Because among them, he was the only one who managed to observe the entire process with his Paragon realm inner sight and noticed a certain problem.
Hm …
How should I say this …
Boss seems to not have recovered enough power to properly control the power of Flames of Nihility.
When he attacked just now, in order to appear casual, Boss purposely faced everyone with his back to the cliff and used Flames of Nihility.
And then — — -
His back was blown to a bloody pulp, half of his buttocks were exposed.
How is he going to deal with this situation?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought, then couldn't help but glance at Boss.
Only to see that Boss was holding the Book of Prophesized Destiny in one hand and stroked his hair with the other, proudly saying: "I suddenly had some inspiration, you guys go and rest first, I'll be standing here for a bit longer, don't stand here and get in the way of my combat skills"
"Ah, got it" Ye Fei Li replied.
Everyone turned around and headed towards the invisibility formation not too far away.
Gu Qing Shan hesitated for a split second.
Fine.
If Boss wants to hold on, then let him be.
Gu Qing Shan followed the others back into the formation.
Everyone temporarily rested and waited for Boss.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan drew a Card and looked at it.
The Card depicted a water vortex that hovered above the head of a man with his eyes closed.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
"Illusion Technique: Dark Inviter."
[Using this Card will cause a designated target to fall into a unique world illusion, the danger level of that world is determined by the creator]
[Consuming this Card will allow you to comprehend and evolve your swordsmanship]
— — this was one of the Cards he obtained from Lola, the second Card that could help his swordsmanship evolve.
Gu Qing Shan had already consumed a [Wind Elemental Pursuit Strike] Card, so there was no need to think too much about consuming [Dark Inviter] this time around.
Since they were about to fight against four fake Gods, Gu Qing Shan hoped that he would be able to advance to a single strike realm before that.
He answered without hesitation: "Consume"
As soon as he said so, the Card turned into sprites of light that scattered into his body.
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes and began to feel the mysteries of swordsmanship.
All of a sudden, lines of glowing text quickly scrolled past her eyes on the War God UI.
Gu Qing Shan looked over in surprise.
[Attention! Attention!]
[An extremely rare occurrence has occurred!]
[Consuming this Card will be equivalent to being subjected to the illusion technique: [Dark Inviter], but as there are no enemies around who are adept at using illusion techniques, there shouldn't be any issues]
[A rare occurrence has occurred during this process of consuming: a unique spirit has participated in the process of the technique]
[The spirit is about to invite you into a world illusion]
[Unable to discern the spirit's intentions]
[Please ensure your own safety]
The lines of text disappeared.
In a daze, Gu Qing Shan noticed that Jang Young-ho and the rest of the people around her had all disappeared, as well as the surrounding grass and formations.
A dilapidated skyscraper abruptly appeared.
Gu Qing Shan found herself standing in a certain hallway.
"How interesting, it shouldn't be that monster. It can't sense outsiders like us, otherwise it would have killed us already"
"Then, who exactly is it?"
Gu Qing Shan muttered and looked around.
The entire hallway was dark, a single lamp hung from the ceiling by itself. The lamp was already broken and covered in dust.
Because there were so many skyscrapers here, this place doesn't get any sunlight at all.
Wait a minute, this place is — — -
A distant memory resurfaced in Gu Qing Shan's mind, causing him to feel a chill down his spine.
Gu Qing Shan quickly walked through the hallway and stood in front of a familiar room.
At some point, a key had appeared in his hand.
Without saying a word, Gu Qing Shan used the key to open the door and walked in without hesitation.
He stood in the room and looked around.
This place didn't have a living room, bedroom, or kitchen. The narrow, rectangular room was barely big enough to fit a bed and a cupboard, everything else had to be piled up on one side, otherwise, there would be nowhere to put them.
There wasn't even a washroom.
This kind of living environment could only be considered low-class even in the slums.
Gu Qing Shan silently observed everything.
Indeed, this used to be his room.
What kind of world illusion would allow me to return to my homeworld, to the slums of the Federation?
Gu Qing Shan was full of questions.
He tentatively closed his eyes and began to sense his surroundings.
All of a sudden.
As Gu Qing Shan fell into contemplation, something appeared in this dark and secluded room.
A long tongue slowly descended from the ceiling, silently landing behind Gu Qing Shan.
The long tongue lightly licked Gu Qing Shan's back, all the way to his neck.
