While chatting with the Giant of Beginning, Gu Qing Shan's mind was quickly turning.
Back in my homeworld, I met that Shade.
What did that Shade say at the time?
"I came from the Age of Immemorial, once a certain person's shadow …"
— — the Age of Immemorial.
That was the moment the Inner Plane was destroyed over 100 million years ago.
In other words, the Gu Qing Shan who advised me not to give up my identity as the Huang Quan Devil King had already arranged everything over 100 million years ago.
At the time, he had already become the Huang Quan Devil King, but due to certain matters, he gave up on that identity.
He regretted it in the end.
— — that's why he left behind a warning during the Age of Immemorial.
100 million years is too long, would those monsters in the River of Time really let him go?
Those monsters had nothing to do every day, the only reason for their existence was to observe the infinite worlds, see if there were any loopholes in the River of Time, and attack as soon as they found one.
They made a living from this, and enjoyed it.
… Then, how did that Gu Qing Shan get there? Did she also use the three coins?
Gu Qing Shan shook her head.
— — -these minor details aren't important anymore.
More importantly, I understand that I definitely can't give up my Samsara identity.
At this point, the Giant's booming voice resounded: 「 Very well, today's business is done, you can return the way you came, but if you want me to teleport you back, you will need to pay extra 」
Seeing the Giant's expectant gaze, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "How much?"
「 That depends on what you have 」 the Giant replied.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him.
The Giant still had an expectant expression.
— — -this Giant was quite interested in doing business.
Gu Qing Shan sensed it for a bit.
The 7-colored fragment in her Thought Sea was giving off a faint fluctuation, pointing at the Giant of Beginning.
It seems this Giant picked up Abaddon after I tossed it away during the battle of Huang Quan.
How do I get Abaddon back from him?
Gu Qing Shan cleared her throat and said: "— — to be frank, other than teleporting back, I also want to get my hands on a suitable weapon, do you have any weapons for sale here?"
The Giant's eyes glowed.
With one teleportation and a weapon, he had earned quite a sizable profit.
This was a guy who really did business.
「 Weapon, huh? What kind of weapon do you want? 」 Giant of Beginning probed.
Gu Qing Shan said, "Cold weapon, long handle is better."
The giant fell into deep thought.
A long row of weapons, including halberds, lances, spears, dagger-axes, and lances, appeared between the giant and Gu Qing Shan.
These weapons had different types of power. Some were related to the elements, some required willpower and spirit to control, and some had their own consciousness and had artifact spirits.
Powerful energy waves emanated from the weapon.
Gu Qing Shan took a look and shook her head, "Not good enough."
The giant said, "These are all good stuff. If you want a higher level weapon, I need to see what you have."
Gu Qing Shan asked, "What do you want?"
A look of urgency appeared on Giant's face as he said, "Anything from the outside world, as long as it's valuable. It doesn't need to be related to combat. My combat equipment is almost full."
You don't want anything related to combat?
Gu Qing Shan casually took out a Dragon's Tear Flower.
This was a flower from the cultivation world that was beneficial to the soul vessel.
The giant glanced at it and casually said: "Flower-type items are quite rare, but they're not even worth these weapons of mine, not to mention exchanging them for something even better"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the flower in her hand, then at the weapons in her hand.
— — -all of these weapons could be considered decent, even in the 900 million World Layers, they would still be top-notch.
The giant's expression was calm.
But Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
This guy's expression isn't natural at all!
— — -if there's nothing going on, who are you trying to scare by maintaining such an indifferent expression on your face?
Could it be …
This giant can only stay here and can't leave?
With that thought in mind, Gu Qing Shan took out the flower pot.
"The soil of a Cultivation-type world can be used to nurture the majority of plants" he explained.
The giant was a bit surprised.
It carefully stretched out a finger and dipped it into the soil, then put it into its mouth and tasted it.
"Hm … that's right, this is top-notch soil, but it's still far from enough to exchange for weapons"
"Alright, let me take a look"
Gu Qing Shan went through the contents of her Inventory Bag.
Qin Xiaolou's spirit cooking.
Xiu Xiu's flower seeds.
Qing Rou and Wan Er's cultivation manuals.
Liao Xing's large databases — — although Gu Qing Shan hasn't looked through them yet, according to Ye Fei Li, they were all teaching materials on romance. He filtered out a portion of the rubbish, saying that he would destroy them after copying them, leaving the rest for Gu Qing Shan.
Jang Young-ho gave her a book called [An Actor's Self-Cultivation], and a book called [This Hitman Isn't Too Cold].
The rest were daily necessities.
Ah, right, as well as all the coins in the Strife Zones — — - the giant octopus coin that could summon a fridge and drinks was kept by Gu Qing Shan.
In short, Gu Qing Shan had taken out everything he could take out.
He decided not to play any tricks.
The other party was the first giant in the infinite worlds, who knows how many billions of years it's lived for, how many things it had seen, whenever it wanted to meet someone, it could simply summon them through Fate.
You can't play any tricks with such a mythical existence, otherwise you wouldn't even know how you died.
Looking at the things Gu Qing Shan took out, the giant doubtfully asked: "Why did you take out so many things?"
Gu Qing Shan honestly replied: "When we do business, we care about our reputation — — - in terms of value, I don't think these things are enough — — because these are all very common things in the outside world, and I want to exchange them for a good weapon"
After a brief moment of silence, the giant suddenly smiled: "And here I thought you were a bit smart …"
He glanced at the weapons.
Those weapons instantly turned into rusty copper and iron.
"Speaking of reputation, I've always had a good reputation, as long as people are serious about making a deal with me"
The giant thought for a bit, then continued: "I want all of these things you've taken out"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Then, about the weapons …"
The giant put away all the scrap metal hovering in the air, then took out a new batch of long-handled weapons.
As soon as these weapons appeared, they gave off waves of power, a faint breeze drifted around them, allowing anyone to quickly sense their level of power.
Soul Artifacts.
These were all powerful Soul Artifacts with their own characteristics, any one of them would cause countless Combatants to go crazy over them.
Gu Qing Shan glanced through them all.
— — there was no Abaddon.
Or rather, these weapons were already very powerful, but compared to a weapon like Abaddon, they were still a bit lacking.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and shook her head: "These aren't what I need"
The giant wasn't annoyed and continued: "If you want a better weapon, you won't be able to exchange it with dirt and common items from the outside world — — no matter how much you offer, I won't be able to give it to you"
"Why not?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The giant appeared nostalgic and slowly replied: "You are a smart person, so you should be able to tell that I don't want to leave this place — — because in the outside world, no matter how powerful an entity is, they would still die one day"
"Seems like you've lost a lot" Gu Qing Shan commented.
The giant sighed and said: "There's no need to mention the past, let's return to the matter of the deal — — if others knew that I was willing to exchange a Divine Artifact for the sake of some common items from the outside world, I would be laughed at by others, my reputation would also be ruined"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "But I do need a better weapon"
The giant observed Gu Qing Shan with its single eye and slowly spoke: "It's not impossible, but other than what you have right now, you will also have to pay something even more precious to you"
"Something even more precious to me? This … could it be that you want my soul? "Gu Qing Shan cautiously asked.
The giant's expression darkened: "I'm not an evil creature"
"Forgive me, but I really don't know what your excellency wants" Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
The giant pointed a finger at Gu Qing Shan and asked: "In the infinite worlds, what is the most important thing?"
"What is it?"
"A talent with unique powers!"
"…" Gu Qing Shan.
The giant continued: "There was once a great scorpion that had the most powerful venomous stinger, unafraid of any damage or magic, capable of slaughtering billions of worlds, almost no one was a match for it — — - but it couldn't maintain and clean its venomous stinger"
"The great scorpion once tried to clean its venomous stinger on its own, but it almost poisoned itself to death"
"After that, it no longer dared to do it on its own"
"Those who were forced to clean it were all dead before they could even get close to its venomous stinger"
"Every time the great scorpion went out on the streets, the stench it exuded was enough to cause a world's worth of people to faint"
"It didn't have a girlfriend"
"And so?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
The giant continued: "One year later, it found a person. That person wasn't very powerful, but he awakened a unique ability that allowed him to ignore the venomous stinger's defenses and directly clean the dead objects and filth on it"
"So powerful, what kind of ability was that?" Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
The giant solemnly replied: "That is a secret that I'm not too sure about either, but the legends say that the ability was called: Wash, Cut, Blow"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Very vivid"
The giant clenched his fist and spoke with a serious expression: "Even those undefeatable big shots are not perfect entities, they will always have problems of this and that, so within the infinite worlds, people with unique abilities are the most important!"
He clapped his hands.
A letter of entrustment appeared from the void of space.
As Gu Qing Shan received it, she shook her head: "I don't know how to do this, I'll be honest, I've only just begun learning"
The giant made a strange expression and asked: "Didn't you want a peerless Divine Armament?"
He clapped his hands.
Bam bam bam bam bam!
The clouds exploded one after another.
Numerous weapons with unparalleled presence silently hovered in the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan immediately saw the 7-colored spear!
The 7-colored spear let out a rapid vibrating noise.
The giant looked at the 7-colored spear, then at Gu Qing Shan.
He thought for a bit.
"I understand, so you wanted this Abyssal Saint Armament" the giant said.
"That's right, in fact, I used to, with this weapon — — -" Gu Qing Shan generously admitted.
At this point, the giant was already muttering to himself: "This weapon didn't cost me anything, after all, it was thrown here by someone who randomly threw things. I was taking an afternoon nap that day, it was a good thing I reacted fast enough, otherwise, I would've definitely been hit"
"What an uneducated bastard, what year is this already, still randomly throwing things in the winds of chaotic tribulation"
"If I find out who it was, I'll definitely eat him alive!"
After saying so, the giant turned to Gu Qing Shan and asked: "— — wait a minute, what did you want to say just now?"
"I … feel like the weather today is really nice …"
Gu Qing Shan reluctantly said.
