The ruined city district.
The Soul Shrieker looked up at the sky with a heavy expression.
It couldn't understand why [Chaos] would give it such a mission.
It couldn't help but open its mouth and chant in unison: 「 Endless [Chaos], I am the founder of the Era, why do you want me to stay here and stop the unknown danger for my enemies? 」
Lines of grey text appeared in front of its eyes:
[Everything must be done with the search for the Shrine of Secrets as the highest priority]
[Both you and the other side of the Apotheotic Combat path must do everything in your power to make this happen]
[Outstanding performance will grant you a reward]
Reading this, the Soul Shrieker was still confused.
「『Reward? 」』 it asked.
「 Indeed 」 [Chaos] replied, 「 You do not need to worry, as soon as the path to the Shrine of Secrets is opened, you will be directly transported there 」
「 Now, stop the countless enemies who will come after hearing the news 」
All the text disappeared.
The Soul Shrieker sensed that and abruptly looked up at the sky.
Sprites of light appeared in the sky one after another.
They were so bright, so grand, so dignified and full of power that anyone who saw them would feel the urge to worship them.
「『So it was the stench of [Order], I understand 」』
The Soul Shrieker growled in a low voice.
— — seems like my job is to buy time for that Deity of [Chaos] so that she can find the hidden path.
Next to the Soul Shrieker, the Raging Flame Traveler suddenly shouted:
「『Too many! Too many! 」』
In the sky, the sprites of light were slowly filling up like a vast sea of stars.
They were descending towards the two of them at an unparalleled speed.
The Raging Flame Traveler paused briefly, then loudly declared: 「『[Chaos], I give up on this Apotheotic Combat path, please transport me back 」』
The Soul Shrieker's expression changed and grabbed him: 「『You're insane! If you leave now, do you want me to stop all of them by myself? 」』
The Raging Flame Traveler pushed the Soul Shrieker's hand away and asked in return: 「『I almost died just now, do you understand? 」』
The Soul Shrieker froze.
Just now, Gu Qing Shan's sword had already pierced through the Raging Flame Traveler's neck, if [Chaos] hadn't abruptly stopped, the Raging Flame Traveler would have died.
The Raging Flame Traveler said in a low voice, "I have a long life, great strength, and countless extraordinary abilities, but that person's sword is too fast. He didn't give me any chance to use my power!"
"I believe that many of my powers are stronger than his, and I could even use some special Extraordinary powers to directly kill him — but against him, I have no chance to do so!"
"He's the real Grim Reaper!"
The Raging Flame Traveler roared in fear, "I don't want to be enemies with such a person!"
The two of them fell silent.
「『Who would've thought, even you are a piece of trash 」』 the Soul Shrieker scoffed.
At the same time, chaotic gray text appeared in front of them.
"It doesn't matter if you exit the Path of Godly Ascension or not, you have to face the enemy."
"Remember, this is the critical moment of chaos."
"Those who avoid the battle will die."
Before Raging Flame Walker could say anything, two new lines of notifications appeared in front of them.
[As many [Orders] have arrived, the following conclusion is made:]
"This incident has been exposed."
"From now on, you can use all of your strength to resist the [Order]"
The Raging Flame Traveler shuddered.
It felt that the power that had been imprisoned in it had been completely released.
All of its power had returned to its body.
"That's more like it, I might be able to hold them off for a bit"
It muttered and turned to the Soul Shrieker.
The Soul Shrieker's body began to exude an eerie presence.
A chilling and intense chill continuously emanated from the Soul Shrieker's body, like a silent, invisible wave that slowly spread to the entire sky.
「『Carriers of [Order] who have arrived from the distant world! You pitiful worms should not think too highly of yourselves, as you are only vessels for souls 」』
「『And souls are my food 」』
At the very next moment — — -
A male and female voice chanted at the same time, "Soul! Offer your souls to me, aaaaah — — – "』
A shrill howl resounded across the sky.
…
At another location.
Gu Qing Shan, Jang Young-ho, Ye Fei Li, and Ye Ru Xi stood at the bottom of the ocean.
All of the seawater had been blocked several hundred kilometers away.
No oceanic monsters could approach this place.
As Jang Young-ho watched this miraculous scene, he couldn't help but ask: "Say, can this power of yours be performed by simply holding a sword?"
"No" Gu Qing Shan replied, "it requires soul power"
Ye Ru Xi replied: "This is a very unique sword, Gu Qing Shan, I need you to use the power of this sword to undo the seal and allow me to regain my power"
"Is it that thing?" Ye Fei Li asked.
"Yes" Ye Ru Xi replied.
On the seabed in front of the four of them, a circular bronze sphere silently laid on the ground without moving.
There was nothing special about this sphere, only a small opening at the center that seemed to be able to fit something inside.
As Gu Qing Shan looked at this bronze sphere, she felt a strange sensation.
Bronze …
The giant corpse was imprisoned by a bronze pillar.
Could there be some sort of connection between the two?
Gu Qing Shan walked forward and placed her hand on the surface of the bronze sphere.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Dreamscape Soul Artifact: Seal of the Ocean]
[This is a Dreamscape Soul Artifact created for the purpose of sealing power, capable of greatly suppressing the power of Dreamscape Travel]
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "What is a Dreamscape Soul Artifact?"
On the War God UI, 200 Soul Points were silently deducted from his Soul Points.
The War God UI replied: [The most powerful Soul Artifact within the Reality Gate is a Dreamscape Soul Artifact]
[Firstly, this type of Soul Artifact is something that mortals yearn for even in their dreams, but mortals can only dream about obtaining such a Soul Artifact]
[Secondly, this type of Soul Artifact is used to suppress or release the user's Dreamscape Travel power, and this power is actually the most powerful power within the Reality Gate]
Gu Qing Shan gasped.
Who would've thought that I would run into such a powerful item here?
After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan asked again: "How should I help Ye Ru Xi release her power? And what is the power of Dreamscape Travel? "
The War God UI replied: [Every Dreamscape Soul Artifact has a specific target to use it on, so this matter will depend on the identity of the person being sealed in order for us to know the truth]
Two hundred Soul Points were deducted.
"Even you have to see through her identity in order to know the truth?" Gu Qing Shan purposefully asked.
[Of course, I am the War God UI, not an encyclopedia] the War God UI replied.
This time, 400 Soul Points were deducted.
Gu Qing Shan didn't mind and stood up, looking at Ye Ru Xi.
"What should I do?" he asked.
Ye Ru Xi looked at the Chao Yin sword in his hand and replied: "This sword of yours is … in short, it can suppress all of the oceans of the Endless world, but in other words, it can also release the power of the ocean"
"Because of that, you need to insert the sword into this seal, then use your intense willpower to communicate with the sword and have it release the power of the seal"
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then silently sent her voice to Chao Yin: "Will there be any issues?"
Chao Yin sword simply vibrated without a care.
Gu Qing Shan then relaxed a bit and inserted the Chao Yin sword into the bronze sphere.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The Chao Yin sword gave off a deep blue glow.
The bronze sphere abruptly split apart, turning into various components that flew towards Ye Ru Xi.
A black eyepatch covered her left eye.
A bronze-colored metal mask covered her mouth and mouth.
Her right arm was bound with a long, thin chain of bronze.
Both her legs were shackled by heavy shackles.
Ssss — – hoh — –
Ye Ru Xi exhaled deeply.
"What's going on? Wasn't the seal supposed to be released? Why is she being restrained instead? "Jang Young-ho asked in confusion.
"It's fine, the seal has indeed been released. 10% of my power has been released" Ye Ru Xi's voice came from behind the mask.
She showed the things on her body to everyone and explained:
"My eyes can communicate with the Awaitings, my mouth can summon them, my right hand can support their techniques, my legs can arrange their great power formations, so I should be restrained like this"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What are the Awaitings?"
Ye Ru Xi replied: "I'm not sure either. Simply put, ever since I could sense them when I was young, I've always felt that they were waiting for something, so I call them the Awaitings"
As Gu Qing Shan carefully pondered this term, he felt that it carried a deeper meaning.
He recalled the bronze finger he saw in Ye Ru Xi's dream.
At the time — — there was a voice — — -
"The Age of Apocalypse has yet to end, and now is not the time for me to awaken. Who exactly is calling me?"
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, he was cut off by the next scene.
Ye Ru Xi took off her mask and muttered: "I have to leave this world as soon as possible, otherwise, once my power is released, this world will surely be destroyed"
She began to chant an incantation:
"The knell of the Apocalypse echoes outside the Reality Gate,"
"Those entities hiding in the darkness, cautiously waiting,"
"Listen to me;"
"The Era of the End has yet to pass,"
"And I,"
"Your herald now needs a path to the Palace of Secrets," Roland said with a smile.
The incantation was finished.
Instantly, the world in front of the four of them faded away.
Their surroundings became gloomy.
A flight of stairs made entirely of grey fog silently manifested beneath their feet.
The entire flight of stairs led deep into the void of space, a faraway place that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
"Alright, let's go" Ye Ru Xi said.
Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li followed her and stepped onto the grey fog.
Gu Qing Shan followed the three of them, but her gaze was focused on the void of space.
