The River of Time.
Resplendent and eternal.
Countless generations of history, trillions of living beings, all of them spent their own time within the River of Time, eventually fading away.
Fusi held Gu Qing Shan's hand as they traveled against the flow of the River of Time.
To return to that moment 10 trillion years ago, the distance needed to travel was so long that Gu Qing Shan had a lot of time to think about it.
At a certain point.
"Lady Fusi, what exactly will happen when the [Demon King Order] evolves to the very end?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Haven't you already experienced such a moment?"
Fusi answered while traveling through the flow of time.
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully replied: "Indeed, the [Demon King Order] wants to borrow my Soul Points to summon the Demon King — — – what exactly is this thing called the Demon King?"
Fusi replied: "The [Demon King Order] will use your Soul Points as a catalyst to fuse the Prayers it had gathered over the course of 10 trillion years into one, creating a unique entity"
"Create?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, this is a peerless technique of creation that was created by gathering the power of our [Order] faction"
Fusi sighed emotionally: "That created entity will attach itself to the summoner, ignoring the restraints of causality and all Laws to change everything!"
Gu Qing Shan was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "If we have such power, why would we need to worry about not being able to deal with the [Chaos] faction? Why would we be afraid of the Apocalypse? "
"This is indeed one of the most powerful weapons that our [Order] faction has ever created, regretfully …" Fusi sighed and continued: "It has an irreparable shortcoming — — - we had calculated at the time, if the [Demon King Order] were to go through 10 trillion years and collect the Prayers of all carriers during this period of time, it would only be able to allow an entity like the Demon King to descend for 10 seconds at most"
10 seconds!
No matter how powerful this power was, it would only exist for a very short amount of time.
— — -and the Apocalypse outside the Reality Gate was' Endless'.
Using 10 seconds against 'Endless' would only result in failure.
Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about it and understood.
The [Chaos] faction also desired this power, so the enemy whose power was close to Fusi's had silently tampered with the [Demon King Order].
— — this would cause the Era of [Chaos] to fully descend after 10 trillion years, and the power of the [Order] faction would be completely eliminated.
At this moment, Fusi suddenly waved her staff and softly chanted an incantation.
"Time, you are my close friend. Please raise your radiance and cover our tracks."
A stream of time flew over and turned into a thin white thread that revolved around the two of them.
"Be careful, we're almost there" Fusi said.
Gu Qing Shan became spirited and replied, "Understood."
Fusi wielded her staff in one hand and held his hand with the other as they headed in a certain direction within the River of Time.
She raised her staff and thrust it forward.
The dazzling river parted to the sides.
The flickering light and shadows gradually became clear in front of the two.
In a secret chamber.
Within the secret chamber, there were many beings in black cloaks walking around the several meters tall black flames.
These people's faces were covered, and their faces could not be seen clearly. Only their mouths could be heard chanting all kinds of incantations.
As they chanted the incantation, the black flames gradually became more and more dazzling.
At some point, these people stopped in their tracks.
The chanting also stopped.
A voice resounded from one of the cloaks: "I've given it 1,963 combat skills"
Another voice resounded: "I've added 990,000 pieces of equipment and their combination forging techniques"
"I've given it the triggering rules for evolution, as well as a new power selection method"
"In terms of summoning spells, I've given you 7,491 types."
"The Dreamscape Soul Artifact for collecting Prayers has been prepared"
"…"
These people continued to speak.
Fusi and Gu Qing Shan stood in a corner and silently watched this.
Not too long after, Gu Qing Shan understood.
Over 10 trillion years ago, these powerful entities were racking their brains to think of a way to fight against the Apocalypse.
These pioneers, they created [Order]!
— — -this was the process of [Worlds Apocalypse Online – Demon King Order]'s creation.
I didn't think I'd travel through 10 trillion years to witness the creation of [Order] with my own eyes!
An indescribable feeling welled up in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
"Can't they see us?" Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice.
Fusi replied: "Naturally, there are some who understand Space-Time techniques that can discover us, look — — -"
An entity wearing a black cloak slowly turned around and walked in front of the two of them.
A familiar whisper resounded:
"Successor of Time, who exactly are you?"
At this point, they were close enough that Gu Qing Shan could clearly see her appearance.
Fusi.
The young girl had a face that carried a bit of immaturity, but also contained unparalleled power and dignity.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her, then at Fusi who was holding her hand, feeling extremely surprised.
"No need to be surprised, the Law of Time will erase two identical entities from the same timeline, because this will cause Space-Time to fall into chaos and collapse"
"While I can calm the chaos of Space-Time, so I can see myself"
After saying so, Fusi took a hairpin from her hair, chanted an incantation, and gave it to her other self.
The young Fusi received it, glanced at it briefly, then returned it.
"Is it really me from 10 trillion years in the future? Is there something you want to tell the current me?" she asked.
"I can't say, but I need your support to investigate a few things" Fusi shook her head.
The young Fusi nodded and sighed: "It seems the situation is quite grim"
She clasped her hands and softly chanted: "May the great power of the River of Time pour down like a waterfall, filling your heart and soul"
The white threads around Fusi and Gu Qing Shan's bodies abruptly expanded, turning into a milky white barrier of light that enveloped the two of them.
Another dazzling cluster of light flew into Fusi's hand from the young Fusi's hand and was tightly grasped by her.
"This is my most powerful investigative technique" the young Fusi said.
"I naturally know" Lady Fusi replied.
Gu Qing Shan was so shocked that she couldn't say anything.
You want me to help you?
Fusi glanced at him, saw that his gaze was fixated on her young self, then seemed to have misunderstood something and explained: "The more power of Time I store, the younger my appearance will become, and vice versa, the older I will become"
As she said so, the young Fusi turned around and returned to the group of Awaitings.
She then said something to the others.
— — -several Awaitings turned to look at this corner, but as soon as they heard what she said, they turned their gazes away.
"These people are all on the secret scroll used to protect your identity, so they should be fine" Fusi replied.
Gu Qing Shan also added: "Furthermore, you are currently at the scene of the creation of [Order], so your opponent won't dare to come here for now"
"That's right, we need to wait a bit" Fusi replied.
The two of them silently stood in the corner, listening to their conversation.
A long while later.
A resounding voice resounded from outside:
「 You bastards from the [Order] faction, come out and die! 」
Gu Qing Shan turned to Lady Fusi.
"Ah, I remember now, when the [Demon King Order] was completed, the [Chaos] faction once came to challenge us"
Lady Fusi appeared nostalgic and continued: "At the time, we thought that they were jealous of the power of the [Demon King] that we created — — although it was only 10 seconds, it had already surpassed their imaginations"
As she spoke, the Awaitings of the [Order] faction left the secret room in groups of two or three.
With the [Chaos] faction attacking, they had no choice but to go out and face them.
The young Fusi followed her friends to a corner of the secret room and looked at where the two of them were.
"You don't need me to do anything?" the young Fusi asked.
"No need, you can leave, don't interfere with the 10 trillion years of history" Fusi replied.
The young Fusi nodded and was about to leave with her friends.
"Hmph"
Suddenly, a cold scoff resounded.
Among her friends, another entity whose face was hidden under a black cloak stepped forward.
He walked in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Brat, the dragons you killed 10 trillion years later were all trash that deserved to be killed, so I won't say anything"
"But — — how could you use the power of the dragon race like that, what a disgrace!"
"Running your mouth is shameful, do you understand?"
He kept on lecturing Gu Qing Shan, seemingly angry.
Gu Qing Shan looked at this Awaiting.
He had a pair of golden vertical pupils.
His face was covered in scales that were naturally engraved with mystical runes.
This person's presence was completely different from the others around him.
— — -he was stronger.
"Your grace, please calm your anger, because at this juncture of life and death, I can only use whatever power I have" Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to say this.
The person coldly stared at Gu Qing Shan, then suddenly reached his finger through the milky white screen of light and tapped his forehead.
"Remember, this is the true power of the dragon race"
After saying so, he turned around and left.
The young Fusi looked at this person's back, then at Gu Qing Shan.
"It's fine, he is the Myriad Dragon Ancestor, he must have given you some sort of help, there's no need to worry" she lightly said.
Lady Fusi urged them: "Alright, don't stay here any longer, hurry up and leave, otherwise, if the history of 10 trillion years is altered, it will bring about unpredictable consequences"
The young Fusi exchanged glances with her companions, nodded, and left.
The Awaitings left one by one, leaving only the blazing black flame silently in place.
The secret room quickly returned to silence.
Only Fusi and Gu Qing Shan silently stood in a corner.
"If you've guessed correctly, that event will most likely happen very soon" Lady Fusi said.
"I don't know either, but this is the only place where the other party could have done something, and they've also used quite a few people to draw everyone away from the secret room. I'm guessing that event will happen very soon" Gu Qing Shan replied.
While saying so, he turned his gaze towards the void of space.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared:
[You've received the Myriad Dragon Ancestor's teachings]
[Your Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding is evolving]
[Azure Dragon Origin Hex is manifesting]
[You will soon obtain the true power of the Dragon race]
Gu Qing Shan didn't have time to read any further.
— — he could feel Fusi's hand suddenly tightening around him.
"I am the Undying Sand of Time, I call upon the deepest power of Time"
"All of Time, you are my closest friends, please dispel the illusions that once existed, as well as the illusions that never existed, reveal to me the truth and secrets hidden within the depths of Time"
Fusi quickly chanted in a low voice, then crushed the brilliant cluster of light in her other hand.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly looked up.
The world in front of their eyes faded away.
Nothingness.
After the nothingness, the entire world abruptly reappeared.
Nothing had changed, nor did anything out of the ordinary.
"Let us see the results" Lady Fusi said.
The two of them silently stood there.
Gu Qing Shan was no longer in the mood to look at the notifications regarding the power of the Dragon race.
Because this was the most crucial moment!
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
…
Time slowly became endless.
Still, nothing happened.
After a while, even Gu Qing Shan's own confidence began to waver.
Lady Fusi sighed and was about to say something.
All of a sudden, an illusory figure descended from above and silently landed in the secret room.
The figure circled around the several feet tall black flame and muttered:
"So this is the [Demon King Order]? I didn't think they would be able to create such an Order "
Gu Qing Shan and Lady Fusi exchanged glances.
— — -the enemy really did come.
It turns out that the entity from the [Chaos] faction from 10 trillion years ago had indeed tampered with the [Demon King Order] at this very moment!
