Two statues.
One statue had several hundred skulls glued together to form a gigantic face.
The other statue was a bit damaged, but it was made from a pair of coiling dragons, one blue and one red, giving it a mysterious appearance.
The Soul Shrieker stood between the two statues, unable to make a decision.
The gigantic face made from several hundred skulls gave it a very unique feeling.
But the statue of the two coiling dragons also gave it a familiar sense of power.
— — furthermore, the statue of the two coiling dragons was also damaged.
『「 Damaged …』」
The Soul Shrieker muttered and made its final decision.
It placed its hand on the two dragons and lightly touched them.
The two dragons instantly came to life, circled around the Soul Shrieker for a bit, then took it away from the bronze palace.
After the Soul Shrieker left.
Ye Fei Li walked around the palace once and arrived at where the Soul Shrieker disappeared.
He stared closely at the statue.
— — -the gigantic face made from several hundred skulls.
Ye Fei Li silently stood there for a while, then suddenly took out the Clown mask and put it on.
"I yearn for your mighty power."
He spoke to the statue.
The statue abruptly moved.
The hundreds of skulls began to move in groups, causing one's scalp to go numb, but also allowing the gigantic face to display its expression and voice.
「 Puny carrier of [Chaos], clown of the mortal realm, why should I grant you power? 」
The gigantic face looked down at the Clown and asked.
The Clown respectfully bowed, then replied: 「 The world needs me to display your great power 」
The gigantic face spoke with a deep rumbling voice:
「 Tell me, how do you think true [Chaos] can be achieved? 」
The Clown thought for a bit, then replied: 「 Will and purpose are not [Chaos], the essence of [Chaos] is to turn everything into nothingness 」
「 I shall grant you this chance, take the test 」
Saying so, the gigantic face abruptly opened its mouth and swallowed Ye Fei Li whole.
A split second later.
The gigantic face also disappeared from the bronze palace.
Jang Young-ho circled around and returned to where Ye Ru Xi was standing.
He took out two cups, poured some liquor, and offered one of them to Ye Ru Xi.
"I saw you circling around, what's the matter? You still haven't found a suitable Awaiting? "
Ye Ru Xi questioned.
Jang Young-ho said: "Since Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li are already compatible, then I don't have to."
Ye Ru Xi asked in surprise: "Why not?"
Jang Young-ho finished the wine, lit a cigar for himself, and said, "My heart yearns for order, so there won't be any chaotic Awaiting that suits me."
Ye Ru Xi thought for a bit and smiled.
"I remember you said you were the boss of an assassin's guild," she said.
"Yes." Jang Young-ho nodded.
"Do hitmen also yearn for order?" Ye Ru Xi asked.
"Those beasts in human clothing who ride roughshod over others are my prey. I enjoy the process."
Jang Young-ho puffed out a smoke ring and continued, "I hope for the world to be peaceful and for everyone to have their own place. To achieve this goal, I'm willing to hunt for my entire life."
Ye Ru Xi drank the entire bottle, then gestured for Jang Young-ho to pour another for her.
"I'm a member of the [Chaos] faction. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you for telling me that you yearn for order?" she smiled and asked.
Jang Young-ho filled up the two glasses, then replied: "You're not someone who's blinded by power, otherwise, your world would've already been destroyed"
He handed the glass to Ye Ru Xi.
Ye Ru Xi stared closely at the amber liquid inside the glass and muttered: "Not only are you able to control your power to such a small degree, but you also possess such firm conviction, you truly are a kindred spirit"
She raised the glass.
"A toast to you, and to the rest of us"
"A toast to everyone who couldn't figure it out"
This title caused both of them to chuckle.
They clinked their glasses together.
While they waited, the entire bottle of liquor was emptied.
…
A faint light slowly appeared in front of them.
The sound of graceful and soothing singing and dancing could be heard from within the light, causing those who heard it to feel tranquil.
Gu Qing Shan was enveloped by the power of warp and rushed straight into the light.
Gu Qing Shan slowly landed on the ground.
This was a cathedral — — or perhaps the top floor observation deck of a palace.
A woman was standing on top of the observation deck, wielding a scepter in her hand and wearing a crown on her head, her back towards Gu Qing Shan as she observed the mountains and rivers below.
A glorious scene.
The woman turned around, then softly chanted:
"Time cannot be disrupted, only when it returns to its original course can living beings be at peace"
An invisible force fell upon Gu Qing Shan's body, slowly dispelling some sort of tiny disorder.
Gu Qing Shan knew what this was, so she carefully observed the other party.
— — although she appeared a bit too young, she could faintly make out Fusi's figure.
Gu Qing Shan bowed: "Milady, long time no see"
The woman smiled and replied: "You've grown so quickly that even I can't help but admire the Earth Creator's vision"
"Milady, are you an Awaiting of [Chaos]?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Fusi smiled and replied: "It's a long story, Earth God, you should know more by now"
Fusi waved her scepter and lightly tapped the void of space.
Heaven and earth changed.
The world faded away.
Another world manifested, circling around the two of them.
"The Reality Gate has been closed"
Following Fusi's voice, the two gates that connected heaven and earth abruptly closed.
Countless entities cheered.
Quite a few of them were crying tears of joy.
"The Apocalypse of the infinite worlds destroyed everything, only the most peerless entities, through their unimaginable power, managed to enter the Reality Gate in order to prolong their existence and await the end of the Apocalypse" Fusi continued.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "What was the Apocalypse outside the Reality Gate like?"
Fusi seemed unwilling to recall that scene and only uttered two words:
"Endless"
Endless …
Gu Qing Shan carefully pondered the meaning of this word.
Fusi replied: "After waiting for so many years, the Apocalypse outside the Reality Gate showed no signs of weakening at all"
"As time passed, a few particularly weak Apocalypses managed to infiltrate the Reality Gate"
"We've all finally realized one thing."
"We must come up with a way to study the Apocalypse, find a way to fight against and end it"
"Due to the difference in ideology, we split into two factions"
"One faction believes that the Apocalypse cannot be fought against. Only by making the Apocalypse realize that all living beings have perished would the world return to its primitive state. At that point, the Apocalypse would gradually end and a new era would begin"
"The other faction believes that the existence and destruction of living beings would not affect the Apocalypse, and that the Apocalypse would never cease. Once living beings appear again, the Apocalypse would follow them like a shadow, so the only way out is to fight against it"
"Fighting against the Apocalypse requires greater power, greater wisdom, and a better opportunity. Once living beings are strong enough, one day, we would be able to win against the Apocalypse — — - or at the very least, after the Reality Gate collapses, we would have the power to protect ourselves"
At this point, she turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm guessing that this is the origin of both [Order] and [Chaos]"
"Indeed" Fusi displayed a look of praise and said: "The [Chaos] faction had attempted to accomplish some destruction and obtained quite a good result"
Around the two of them, scenes of worlds being destroyed appeared.
As these worlds fell into [Chaos]'s destruction, the Apocalypse also slowly faded away.
— — because the Apocalypse had lost its target.
"The [Order] faction was also busy educating living beings, allowing numerous brilliant civilizations to emerge from the Reality Gate. These civilizations then came up with many ways to fight against the Apocalypse"
One world after another appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
He saw numerous Technological, Magic-type, Cultivation-type, Void-type, Mystic-type, and various other worlds.
Countless great people and heroes appeared one after another in the River of Time, leading their civilizations towards prosperity.
Fusi's voice came:
"However, [Chaos] and [Order] will eventually have to fight"
Gu Qing Shan pondered briefly, then nodded: "[Chaos] wants to destroy all living beings, while [Order] wishes for living beings to grow stronger, this is an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides"
Fusi continued: "A great war broke out between [Order] and [Chaos], but in the end, both sides realized that if this continued, other than both sides suffering heavy losses, there would be no other outcome"
"Because of that, both sides poured everything they had into either [Order] or [Chaos], hoping that living beings would either rely on [Chaos] to destroy themselves, or rely on [Order] to prosper"
"Victory and defeat would be decided by living beings, while both sides had expended too much power to create [Order] and [Chaos], only occasionally waking up, or communicating with us through dreams"
Hearing this, Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled the two titles.
The Harbinger of Apocalypse's End.
The Era of Slumber's Song of Night.
He spoke: "After [Chaos] destroys all living beings, the Apocalypse will also end. At that moment, a Harbinger will awaken the Awaitings of the [Chaos] faction — — - they will be reborn and win their victory"
"Similarly, as the Apocalypse rages on, a Harbinger of Night will summon the slumbering Awaitings, hoping that they will grant them power to aid and guide living beings to win against the Apocalypse"
Fusi nodded: "That is indeed the case"
"Then what about you? Which side are you on? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Fusi replied: "You go first"
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: "Of course I don't want living beings to be destroyed. Everything I've fought for is for the sake of protecting them. If anyone dares to touch the people I protect, I will kill them"
