With Gu Qing Shan's support, Lady Fusi leaned against the wall and slowly laid down.
"Time is an eternal mystery, Gu Qing Shan"
She breathed heavily.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and replied: "I've never been able to understand the true meaning of Time"
"Because it is fickle"
Lady Fusi continued: "I fully believe that the [Chaos] faction must have expended an immense amount of power to find our only flaw within the River of Time, furthermore — — -"
"Furthermore what?" Gu Qing Shan pursued the question.
Lady Fusi's expression appeared a bit heavy as she slowly explained: "We had arranged countless spells and powers within the secret room where [Order] was created to protect this place, but they were able to easily enter. I suspect that they had used the power of the Law of Fate"
"Furthermore, the dark golden sand that the [Chaos] faction took out to alter [Order], even I have never heard of such a thing before, it must have been a treasure that they had spent countless efforts to create"
Gu Qing Shan slowly sensed that something wasn't right, as she carefully thought about it, she even felt her back becoming numb.
"Lady Fusi, what are you worried about?" he directly asked.
Lady Fusi replied: "The battle between [Order] and [Chaos] had reached its most crucial moment during the era of the Spire's destruction. I'm worried that my old foe would continue to observe that era, preparing to prevent any unexpected incidents from occurring — — - or perhaps even alter the outcome"
"Didn't all the Awaitings fall into slumber?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Both he and I, due to the power of Time, were able to slowly recover over 10 trillion years — — - so I'm worried that he might have something up his sleeves" Lady Fusi replied.
She struggled to sit up and said: "You can't underestimate them, we must immediately return to the era of the Spire's destruction and confirm the final outcome"
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a brief moment.
"Could it be … there might be other variables involved?" he asked.
"It's hard to say. Anything that hasn't happened will always have its own variables, especially when it concerns the fate of trillions of worlds like this"
"Although before I left, I had created an illusion of you traveling through time, so [Chaos] shouldn't be able to notice — —"
Fusi sighed weakly, then continued: "However, when we returned to the past, at the point of time before we returned, time continued to move forward"
"I understand, so we have to go back now!" Gu Qing Shan urged.
Fusi shook her head and spoke in a low voice: "The majority of my power has been used to modify [Order], it is no longer enough for both of us to return at the same time"
"As an Awaiting, I cannot carry [Order] and [Chaos], so you are the only one left"
She looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
Lady Fusi traveled through countless years of time, then expended her power to alter [Order], so she had used up all of her power.
She had done all she could.
Now —
Gu Qing Shan looked at the card in her hand.
On the card, the unicorn was looking at him.
"Madam, leave the rest to me."
Gu Qing Shan said.
Lady Fusi nodded and tried her best to smile.
"Gu Qing Shan, you have to return immediately — — before [Chaos] absorbs Prayers and awakens its Awaitings, you have to reverse it!"
She used all of her strength to push Gu Qing Shan's shoulder.
The void of space behind Gu Qing Shan broke apart to reveal the vast River of Time, which directly swallowed Gu Qing Shan.
…
A trillion years later.
The bronze palace of [Chaos].
Jang Young-ho and Ye Ru Xi were waiting for a result.
Suddenly, lines of grey text appeared in front of their eyes:
[The Apotheotic Combat trial this time has been concluded]
[The Apotheotic Combat has ended]
[According to your performance, the Deity of the Era of [Chaos] has been confirmed]
[Currently transporting the challengers of the Apotheotic Combat]
A gloomy fog slowly filled the palace, as if something was brewing.
Jang Young-ho raised his glass and drank it all at once.
"Are you very nervous?" Ye Ru Xi asked.
"There's nothing to be worried about, Ye Fei Li will definitely win. If there's really no other choice, there's still Gu Qing Shan, there won't be any issues" Jang Young-ho pushed his sunglasses up a bit and casually said.
The grey fog continued to surge and rise, slowly manifesting a figure.
Ye Fei Li.
He was still wearing the Clown mask, his body was covered in terrifying wounds, but his entire body was glowing crimson like blood, his presence had undergone an overwhelming change.
"Hah, I should have won"
The Clown waved his hand at the two of them.
The two of them calmed down.
"Not bad, you've grown much stronger" Jang Young-ho praised.
"That's Ye Fei Li? Why do I feel like he's a different person? "Ye Ru Xi doubtfully asked.
"He's a bit different when he wears the mask, you'll understand once you get to know him more" Jang Young-ho smiled and said.
The grey fog once again surged.
The Soul Shrieker stepped out from the fog.
「『Laughable fools, it's time for you to die 」』 it smirked.
The three of them were surprised and looked at it.
「『I've won the trial, the Deific Authority of [Chaos] is still mine. Following this, I shall lead the entire Era to eliminate all of you insects 」』 the Soul Shrieker roared.
Jang Young-ho and Ye Ru Xi exchanged glances.
Why did both of us say that we won? Who exactly won the Deific Authority of [Chaos]?
At this point, the Clown looked around and doubtfully asked: "Why don't I see Gu Qing Shan and that Raging Flame Traveler?"
A second later, lines of grey text suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
[The Raging Flame Traveler failed the trial and no longer exists]
[Gu Qing Shan has disappeared]
Jang Young-ho crushed the glass in his hand and shouted in a low voice: "What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"
Lines of grey text continued to appear:
[Disappeared means his whereabouts are unknown. Most likely, he encountered an inexplicable problem within an Awaiting's dreamscape, then disappeared without a trace]
Jang Young-ho pursued: "Then, is he dead or alive?"
The grey text continued to appear: [Most likely, due to him being a unique material, he was taken by an Awaiting within the dreamscape as nourishment and energy]
Jang Young-ho froze.
Ye Fei Li froze.
Ye Ru Xi scowled and muttered in a low voice: "How is that possible?"
The grey text continued: [This isn't an impossibility, so judging by the two who returned in the end, the following results have been determined:]
[The victor of this Apotheotic Combat:]
[Ye Fei Li, Soul Shrieker]
[Both of you have displayed your value in the trial, you are the Deities that [Chaos] needs]
[From now on, the two of you shall sit on opposite ends of the Deific Authority, becoming the two Deities of the Era of [Chaos]!]
[And now, I shall send you back to where the Apotheotic Combat began]
Ye Fei Li glanced at the Soul Shrieker.
For the sake of fighting against this monster, Gu Qing Shan will forever be gone.
Damn it.
Damn it — — -
"I refuse, I want to kill it" as Ye Fei Li declared so, her killing intent boiled.
The entire bronze palace trembled.
Boundless grey fog enveloped Ye Fei Li, Jang Young-ho, Ye Ru Xi, and the Soul Shrieker, then transported them away.
One breath's worth of time later.
The world of the Spire.
Four clusters of grey fog descended from above, hovering in front of everyone.
Two of the gray mists immediately fought against each other.
Ye Fei Li's furious roar resounded from one of the clusters of grey fog: "Die! Die! Trash monster, I don't care about the Deific Authority, I'll kill you first! "
Caught off guard, the Soul Shrieker shouted: 『「 How dare you, you're already my equal — —』」
Boom!
The two clusters of grey fog scattered.
Ye Fei Li and the Soul Shrieker were still locked in combat, both of them were engaged in a fierce battle.
The ground beneath their feet broke apart, black cracks appeared in the sky, the shockwaves from their battle turned into shockwaves that created a sandstorm that pushed everyone back.
Anna had been observing the changes in the battlefield, so she quickly flew forward, grabbed Jang Young-ho's hand, and asked: "Where's Qing Shan?"
Meeting Anna's clear eyes, Jang Young-ho lowered his head: "I don't know"
"You don't know?"
Anna's gaze became focused, grabbed Jang Young-ho's collar, and whispered: "I want to know the truth, you can't lie to me"
Jang Young-ho didn't dare to look her straight in the eyes and sighed: "He — — should be — — -"
Anna felt like she was struck.
She let go and took a few steps back.
"No, I don't believe it"
Two streams of bloody tears flowed down her pale cheeks.
Jang Young-ho couldn't say anything.
Ye Ru Xi also sighed.
In the sky, Ye Fei Li seemed to have gone insane, fighting against the Soul Shrieker without any regard for her own life.
All of this was reflected in Anna's eyes.
All of this was telling her that the truth was true.
Gu Qing Shan.
She really isn't here anymore.
"Aaaargh — — –"
Anna uttered a long scream.
Boundless will of death manifested as intense flames that enveloped her.
The long-handled black scythe was stabbed into the ground.
Anna hovered in the air and began to chant:
"A power greater than life."
"An End's End that living beings cannot restrain"
"It's like fate, an irresistible destination."
"I am your ruler."
"I, Anna Medici, hereby offer up my soul in exchange for the last bit of divine power"
"The Law of Death"
"In the final moment of my existence, please grant me my final wish"
"I will avenge him!"
