The battle between the two Deities and a group of dead Deities and Demigods was still ongoing.
At the center of the battlefield.
The God of Life and Soul Shrieker were both roaring angrily.
Both of them had lived for countless years, so they had a natural sense for combat.
So while they were fighting, they kept their gazes on the coffins that had just descended.
— — -if they noticed that the presence of a coffin was too powerful, they would act without any regard for anything else to destroy the coffin.
This way, the coffins would turn faint and temporarily disappear.
However, as time went on, the coffins would reappear, together with the coffins that were descending, raining down like a tidal wave, slowly overwhelming the two Deities.
The Deity corpses that came out from the coffins began to form an encirclement.
The God of Life and Soul Shrieker had no choice but to stand back to back and help each other, barely managing to maintain the balance of the battle.
— — in the face of death, any conflict could be temporarily put aside.
Furthermore, they had also realized that they had been tricked.
Even so.
They didn't have much time left.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan and Boss arrived at the edge of the battlefield with their black umbrellas.
Boss scowled, stared closely at the Deity corpses, and muttered: "That can't be right, these aren't just the corpses of Deities from the Inner Plane, there are also some that I don't recognize …"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "You recognize all of the Deities from the Inner Plane?"
"I recognize all 80,000 True Deities" Boss confirmed.
"What's more powerful than a True Deity?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The Divine King — — - just now, one of the coffins had the presence of a Divine King, so when those two were desperately attacking the coffin, the coffin temporarily disappeared. It'll probably reappear after a while" Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "And so, the question is, where did these Deities that you don't recognize come from?"
He silently floated up, approached one of the coffins, and carefully observed it.
"This seems to be a coffin manifested by a spell"
Gu Qing Shan commented.
As soon as he said that, he was shocked.
A spell.
What kind of spell could control hundreds of thousands of Deities and Demigods?
And even the Divine King!
It was simply preposterous.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and was about to deny this idea when Boss spoke up: "That's right, I also felt it, this is a type of spell, look at those Deity corpses — —"
Gu Qing Shan followed Boss's direction and released her inner sight.
The coffin closest to them opened, and a demigod corpse walked out.
"Look carefully," Boss said in a low voice.
"Yes."
Gu Qing Shan replied.
He sensed it with his Divine Will.
On the demigod's corpse, there were a few threads as thin as hair that were pulling the corpse's limbs and body.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that these threads were not real threads, but rather dark rays of light that were condensed from some strange runes.
That's right, this was a spell!
Gu Qing Shan and Boss exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
One of them was a world-traveling savior, the Devil King of Huang Quan, the Earth Pillar God; the other was the Greatest Above the Star Crown, the Abyssal Master, the King of Infinite Origins, both of them were knowledgeable and experienced.
But neither of them had ever heard of a spell that could control hundreds of thousands of Deities' corpses like this.
Boss appeared confused: "What kind of spell could it be that could summon all the Deities from their tombs? I really have no idea"
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then asked: "Calming Soul Country … is only a place where the descendants of the Deities live?"
Boss asked: "What do you think?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "The God of Life clearly knew about this beforehand and had been hiding in Calming Soul Country this entire time, so I'm guessing that it might be related to this spell"
Boss appeared nostalgic and explained: "When the Inner Plane was destroyed, countless corpses of those who died in battle were ejected into the space vortex"
"The seven Deities who managed to survive gathered the corpses of those who died in battle and created a tomb within the space vortex, which the God of Life was responsible for watching over"
"Later on, the God of Life also placed all of her descendants near the tomb and created a world, which is the Calming Soul Country that you know of"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
No wonder it was called Calming Soul Country, so this place was close to the tomb of those who died in battle.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "What kind of world was the Inner Plane, and why was it destroyed?"
Seeing how serious he was, Boss explained: "The Inner Plane is a unique place that ensures that parallel worlds cannot see each other, as well as the space vortex that separates parallel worlds from one another"
"Perhaps parallel worlds would split apart at various points in history, forming new parallel worlds"
"But there is only one Inner Plane"
"Once the Inner Plane is destroyed, the parallel worlds and the space vortex would slowly fall into chaos, causing various problems"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "For example, the conflict between the parallel worlds and the Apocalypse that led to them falling into the Eternal Abyss?"
Boss sighed: "Indeed, the Inner Plane had already been destroyed by the Apocalypse, so the parallel worlds had already fallen into chaos"
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought again.
"The Inner Plane wasn't completely wiped out, I remember there were still Returnees …" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Indeed, but the reincarnation of a soul within the space vortex is extremely dangerous, only the Divine Kings have the ability to do so"
Boss continued: "Only one Divine King would emerge from every 10,000 Divinities. There are 80,000 Divinities in the Inner Plane, but there are a total of 8 Divine Kings. Above the 8 Divine Kings is the Grand Empress, she is responsible for ruling over the entire Inner Plane"
"At the time of the Inner Plane's destruction, the Grand Empress was no match for the Apocalypse and went missing after being heavily wounded. Two of the 8 Divine Kings died in battle, while the other six knew they couldn't win and reincarnated"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan was shaken and tried her best to retract her thoughts: "What we need to do now is to investigate what exactly this technique was"
Boss pondered: "Something that could cause the God of Life to be afraid of couldn't be as simple as a simple technique, it might also be related to something she had done"
"For countless years, she had remained holed up in Calming Soul Country" Gu Qing Shan muttered: "So we can be sure of one thing — — first of all, Calming Soul Country is safe for her, so whatever she had done must have nothing to do with Calming Soul Country"
"If there was something that could cause her to be afraid, it must have come from outside of Calming Soul Country"
"She had been hiding in Calming Soul Country all this time, so what exactly did she do that was related to the outside world?"
The two of them thought for a few moments.
"It's not an [Order] Card" Gu Qing Shan concluded, "There's nothing wrong with the Card, I can prove that"
"Then there's only one thing left" Boss said.
The two of them turned to the God of Life.
Its body was that of a black snake with a purple helmet on its head, black arms on its body, and a tail that could split into countless tentacles.
— — indeed, the only thing left was this monster.
The God of Life had taken this monster's body for herself.
Strangely, even the Deities couldn't kill this monster, so how did the God of Life manage to take over this monster's body?
The more they thought about it, the more they felt something was amiss.
While they were making their own deductions, the situation on the battlefield was becoming more and more dangerous.
Both the God of Life and the Soul Shrieker were already covered in wounds.
Another row of coffins descended.
Five Deity corpses emerged from the coffins.
The Soul Shrieker couldn't hold itself back anymore and shouted: 『「 Come out, Gu Qing Shan!』」
Gu Qing Shan and Boss were both surprised.
How did this guy know we were here?
The Soul Shrieker continued to shout: 『「 I know you must be nearby, just watch — –』」
Boom!!!
Boundless light abruptly erupted from its body, slowly converging on one of its fists to form a blinding mass of light.
This was almost all of its power.
Boss commented with a serious expression: "What an intense Deific Retribution power"
Gu Qing Shan also nodded.
The power of this [Chaos] Deific Retribution was completely different from the Deific Retribution he faced last time.
While dodging the Deity corpses' attacks, the Soul Shrieker loudly declared:
『「 I know that you have a deep relationship with the Bramble Bird Kingdom』」
『「 I'll count to three, if you don't use that concealment technique to save me, I'll unleash this Deific Retribution and destroy the entire Bramble Bird Kingdom!』」
『「 I know that you can borrow my power, but I can unleash the same attack several times in a row — — I refuse to believe that you can borrow the power of my Deific Retribution forever!』」
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
This monster's mind is truly sly and cunning, it actually managed to grasp my weakness.
Lola didn't hesitate to help me, so I can't just watch as her country is destroyed.
Boss glanced at her worriedly.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head, expressing that she was fine.
He calmly looked at the Soul Shrieker.
The Earth sword silently appeared in his hand.
「「 Your Soul Points isn't enough to kill it 」 the Earth sword's heavy voice resounded.
"I know, we'll only use [Sanctuary]" Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
He added: "Full power"
「 That's fine 」 the Earth sword went silent after saying so.
At this point, the Soul Shrieker couldn't stop the Deity corpses' attacks and loudly counted:
「「 Three 」」
「「 Two 」」
「「 One 」」
It furiously roared and swung its fist.
Gu Qing Shan moved.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
Instantly, he switched places with the God of Life.
He wielded the umbrella in one hand and the Earth sword in the other.
A single strike!
Boom — —
The Earth sword heavily struck the Soul Shrieker's body, causing it to stagger and about to be sent flying.
Countless images abruptly manifested from the void of space and froze the Soul Shrieker in place.
Who would've thought it was prepared!
But with a strike of 1001 times gravity combined with Gu Qing Shan's full power, the Soul Shrieker's cluster of Deific Retribution light was forced out of its hand and drifted upwards.
As soon as he swung his sword, Gu Qing Shan used [Shadow Shift] again without hesitation!
At the very next moment, the God of Life was switched back!
At the same time, the Soul Shrieker reacted and attacked behind itself.
Before the God of Life could understand what was going on, she was struck and sent flying into a group of Demigods.
『Aaaargh! You're courting death!』 the God of Life angrily shouted.
All of a sudden, all voices went silent.
Whether it was Gu Qing Shan, the God of Life, or the Soul Shrieker, none of them could say anything at this point.
They looked up.
The cluster of Deific Retribution light shot up to the sky, blew away the unrecognizable darkness, and revealed something.
A gigantic green-furred face was looking down from the darkness above.
The green-furred face opened its mouth wide.
Countless wooden coffins were falling from its mouth.
At the very next moment.
The power of Deific Retribution disappeared.
The darkness above the battlefield once again converged to cover the green-furred face.
