The peak of the mountain range.
There were no structures here, it was a desolate place.
"How do we break through Calming Soul Country's protective barrier?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Unless the Ring of Sovereign and the three Rings of Protection are destroyed, or the Old Gods themselves come to dispel the barrier" Xuan Ya replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said nothing else.
He stood on top of a protruding rock, observing the ground below.
The trembling and collapse of the earth didn't last for too long.
Deep underground, countless black tentacles were weaving a net that covered the entire world, nullifying all destructive impacts.
That old lady is truly powerful.
She could even stop the collapse of the world in the shortest amount of time possible.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
After receiving the fake Deity's memories, he realized just how unfathomable the power of the God of Life was.
Not only did the old lady possess the knowledge and divine power of a Deity, but she also had the overwhelming vitality and fighting strength of a void monster, she was also continuously studying the Laws of power within the Card.
She was already able to split a portion of the power of the human army for the four fake Deities to use.
— — -it was almost impossible to achieve this, because Water God wasn't on the Card.
So in the end, the old lady had to slowly comprehend the power of [Order].
Not to mention anything else, being able to achieve this much was truly impressive.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh.
Who could possibly win against an entity of this level?
In this era, most Deities were already dead.
Only one Deity remained.
The Deity of [Chaos], the Soul Shrieker.
— — -can it really do it?
Behind Gu Qing Shan, everyone else was also at a loss.
Ye Fei Li cleared his throat and said: "It seems there's only one way to kill this monster"
"What is it?" Lola asked.
Ye Fei Li walked towards Xuan Ya, his gaze falling onto the child in her arms.
"Kill this child and cause the God of Life to be destroyed for the oath she once made"
Xuan Ya looked at him and took a few steps back.
Ye Fei Li stopped and said helplessly, "Hey, this is the only strategy — didn't you die once too? Wait until the monster is killed, then let Gu Qing Shan resurrect your child. Isn't that enough?"
Xuan Ya was startled.
That was right.
As long as he could kill the God of Life, all his problems would be solved.
Besides, he had personally experienced the miracle of resurrection.
As long as Gu Qing Shan was here, life and death did not matter.
If the temporary pain of the children could be exchanged for the rebirth of the entire Nation of Divine Descendants, this sacrifice was nothing.
Moreover, all of the Demis would thank their children afterwards.
As the king, his throne would be incomparably secure.
Xuan Ya hesitated.
Suddenly, a voice came from afar.
"No."
Gu Qing Shan looked at the land that was gradually recovering and said without turning her head.
"Why?" Ye Fei Li asked.
"… I don't intend to use that resurrection ability again for a very long time" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Seeing everyone's confused looks, he explained: "This is a restriction of the oath of heaven and earth, if you violate it, you will be chased by the Laws of heaven and earth until you die"
Lola immediately asked: "Who gave you such a restriction of the oath?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'll do it myself"
Ye Fei Li couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"Because this ability puts too much of a burden on my sword, so she needs to rest for a while"
This time, everyone was speechless.
Gu Qing Shan was a sword cultivator, and everyone had seen those sword spirits before, so they understood that Gu Qing Shan must have a reason for doing this.
— — perhaps the sword spirit couldn't handle it anymore?
Everyone speculated.
But since Gu Qing Shan didn't say why, they didn't ask.
After all, only they themselves knew the secrets of their weapons and abilities.
If he didn't say anything, he must have his reasons.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan continued: "Furthermore, I suspect that even if Xuan Ya's child was killed, it wouldn't cause any harm to the God of Life"
"— — the God of Life wouldn't sit idly by and watch anything threaten her life. I'm guessing that when she was turned into a Card, she had already escaped the restriction of this oath"
Boss asked: "You mean, she's no longer bound by the Old Deity's covenant?"
"Perhaps she's still bound a bit, but her life and death are no longer an issue" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"How do you know that?"
"— — this Deity's fear of death runs deep into her bones. She hasn't left Calming Soul Country for so many years, how could she allow herself to die because of someone else's death?"
"That makes sense" Boss nodded.
Everyone fell silent again.
If even this method doesn't work, what should we do next?
Gu Qing Shan took off the four rings on her finger and gave them to Xuan Ya.
"The monster is busy repairing the world, so it won't pay attention to normal Demis for now"
"Use the power of the rings to mobilize all of the Demis"
Xuan Ya couldn't help but ask: "Are we going to relocate them?"
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then turned to Lola: "The monster won't be able to sense us, but we still need to ensure Xuan Ya's safety"
"Take a few mirror worlds and secretly distribute them with Xuan Ya to the various cities, have all the Demis prepare to enter the mirror worlds so that we can take them away"
"No problem" Lola replied.
"Fei Li, Ying Hao, the two of you will go together" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Understood" the two of them replied.
"Boss, use a reverse summoning technique on them so that they can be teleported back at any time"
"Got it"
Everything had been prepared.
Gu Qing Shan once again reminded Xuan Ya: "Time is of the essence, don't try to convince anyone — — - show them the final bloodline of the royal family and the power of the rings, that would be the most efficient"
"Understood, but when can we let everyone enter the mirror worlds?"
"Not now, wait for my news" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"… Got it"
Xuan Ya, Lola, Jang Young-ho, and Ye Fei Li then left to gather the Demis.
Only Gu Qing Shan and Boss were left on the lone peak.
"You have something to ask me?" Boss asked.
"That's right, as the Abyssal King, your knowledge far surpasses ours. I want to know if you have any way to deal with that monster" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Boss shook his head: "Something that couldn't be done when the Deities were still around is even more impossible now"
"Boss, who do you think will win between the Soul Shrieker and the God of Life?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss resolutely replied: "I know very little about the God of Life, so I'm not sure who will win, but this battle will go on for a very long time — — just like how the Soul Shrieker fought against the Demon King corpse in the 900 million World Layers"
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
At the time, the Soul Shrieker fought against the corpse summoned by the [Demon King Order] for a very long time before a victor was decided.
— — -that was a crucial victory that decided the Soul Shrieker's invincible existence within the 900 million World Layers.
Boss sighed, his expression turning solemn and solemn:
"In terms of individual strength, the Soul Shrieker is far inferior to the God of Life"
"But it is the only True Deity of [Chaos] and has the support of the entire Era of [Chaos], so it should be able to last for a very long time"
Boss continued: "I have a feeling that the God of Life is still a bit stronger than the Soul Shrieker"
Gu Qing Shan agreed: "Your feeling is very important, after all, you were once a Combatant who stood at the peak of the world, so it shouldn't be wrong"
— — -if that's the case, no one can win against the God of Life.
It's so powerful.
Does it have any weaknesses?
Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the mountain without moving for a very long time, just like a statue.
Time quickly passed.
Xuan Ya's group had returned.
All the mirror worlds had been secretly distributed to the Demis.
The four rings had returned to Gu Qing Shan's hand.
As soon as he gave the order, the Demis would enter the mirror worlds to take refuge.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze passed through everyone's faces.
"To be frank, I don't like to gamble"
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"But this time's events had far surpassed my expectations. Against the two Deities, I have no confidence at all, so I can only come up with a certain conclusion"
"What conclusion?" Lola asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "The God of Life turned herself into a monster, then into a Card, hiding in this world without ever leaving — — I assume that she's afraid of something"
"She is a unique amalgamation of a Deity and a monster, and the Soul Shrieker is also a Deity"
"We need to think of a way to make them fight each other. In fact, we've been trying to guide this entire time"
"Of course, I've never seen a battle between Deities before, so I don't know what the outcome would be"
"Which means, we only have one last option left"
"— — to gamble"
He spread the four rings on his palm.
Everyone stared closely at the rings.
Gu Qing Shan drew the Earth sword.
Everyone held their breaths.
— – Gu Qing Shan was about to destroy the four rings and allow Calming Soul Country to reappear within the space vortex.
The Soul Shrieker would directly clash against the God of Life.
No one could guarantee what would happen between the two Deities.
"Wait a minute!"
Lola walked forward, put her hand through her hair, and undid it.
Her playful ponytail was undone, turning into long hair that draped over her shoulders, accentuating Lola's alluring appearance to the point where she no longer looked like a little girl.
"Actually, I still have an Occultism artifact with me"
"This is an Occultism artifact passed down through the generations of the Bramble Bird clan, [Twine of Cloud Atlas]"
Lola tied the purple hairband around Gu Qing Shan's wrist and whispered:
"Its effect is a unique type of luck"
"Gu Qing Shan, you can no longer see anything right now and can only rely on your inner sight to observe everything, but I still need to make it clear to you"
"Remember, the only thing you can't do while wearing it is to turn around and look"
"As soon as you turn around, luck will turn into misfortune"
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened, then froze.
Luck … misfortune …
— — right, how did I forget?
I am the Earth Deity.
I possess the truest form of luck!
