Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out and held the scepter tightly.
A line of glowing text appeared:
[The scepter is too heavy for this performance, it has automatically disintegrated into golden light that revolves around your body, preparing to awaken the Sacrificial Dance with you]
The dark golden scepter turned into countless sprites of light that circled around Gu Qing Shan's body.
In the sky.
The faint figure stood still and continued to unleash spells at Gu Qing Shan, only to be reflected by the trillions of Prayers on Gu Qing Shan's body and struck himself.
At this point, another line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Because you haven't had Prayers on you for too long and have traveled through Space-Time, it is very difficult to directly trigger the Sacrificial Dance]
[You will need to perform the Dance of Prelude in order to activate the Living Being Sacrificial Dance]
Dance of Prelude?
Gu Qing Shan appeared confused.
— — -how do I know what the Dance of Prelude is like?
Perhaps guessing what Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a new line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Dance as you please, perform the first stage of the Sacrificial Dance]
"The first stage of the Sacrificial Dance that I'm proficient in — –" Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and recalled the Dances that she had learned.
The image of the bald old man wearing a pair of beach shorts suddenly appeared in her mind.
This … Dance …
Dance …
Gu Qing Shan sneaked a glance at the battlefield — — -
Within the cold wind, everyone was looking at him.
All the soldiers of the 900 million World Layers who came to participate in this war were looking at him as if he was their savior, waiting for him to display his might.
— — -they couldn't be blamed for this.
After all, it was Gu Qing Shan himself who activated the three coins and brought everyone back to the past.
In front of everyone, he activated the Apotheotic Combat and fought against the Deity of [Chaos].
At the very last moment, he rode his unicorn and played his flute, stealing the [Demon King Order]'s trillions of Prayers.
— — -not even the faint figure could stop him.
Logically speaking, it was time for him to act and save the world.
After all, everything he did had always been cool, on point, and impressive.
That was what everyone was thinking.
But only Gu Qing Shan knew —
He needed a dance first.
One, two, three!
He counted to three, clenched his teeth, and braced himself. He shook his head, swung his arms, spun, twisted his waist, and kicked his legs. Then, he did a small kick on the spot, stamped his feet, and stood on the spot again.
A cold wind blew.
The world was deathly silent.
Everyone stared at him without moving.
Gu Qing Shan was also motionless. She looked into the void, avoiding everyone's gaze.
Could it be that at this last moment, he still had to care about his pride and miss the chance to save everything?
Thinking of this, Gu Qing Shan straightened her back even more.
The next second.
A new line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
"Your movements are too fast and too vague. Some of the places that should be fixed were not fixed. You are not nimble enough, so you did not meet the passing mark."
"This Sacrificial Dance wasn't triggered or activated by you."
"You need to start over."
"Good luck."
Gu Qing Shan froze in place.
"Alright, I knew it, nothing in life is easy …"
He muttered, slowed down his movements, and once again moved his body.
Glittering golden light danced with him — — -
Swayed his head left and right.
Pouted his lips.
Swung his arms 360 degrees.
Spun 720 degrees in place.
Twisted his waist, straightened his hips, swung his buttocks, kicked his legs.
Then there was a clean kick.
Stamped his feet.
Regained his footing.
A complete set of movements!
Gu Qing Shan froze in place, afraid that he would have to dance again due to the slightest mistake.
At this point, even the cold wind had stopped.
On the battlefield, there was still a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at Gu Qing Shan, unsure of what to think.
— — what exactly is he doing?
Other than a few people, no one else could understand what was happening in front of their eyes.
The pixie king lowered his voice and whispered: "Father's father's father's father's father, what is he trying to do by dancing? Is he trying to give us some information? "
The long-bearded old man also whispered: "I'm not sure either, but I know something else — — -"
"What is it?"
"To be able to perform such a shameful Dance at such a crucial moment, he is truly a flirtatious man"
The two pixies had lowered their voices to a whisper. But of all the Professionists who came from the infinite worlds to participate in this war, which one of them was a pushover?
Everyone heard the pixies' words.
That's right …
This Dance was truly flirtatious.
But then — —
Flirtatious is flirtatious, but what about the war?
Gu Qing Shan shamelessly ignored that and stared closely at the War God UI.
This time, I should be able to pass, right?
A line of glowing text quickly flashed on the War God UI:
[Congratulations! You've surpassed the barrier of Space-Time and successfully activated the official Living Being Sacrificial Dance!]
As soon as the glowing text appeared, a dry, hoarse female voice resounded in the sky:
"Who is it? Who called upon the infinite worlds to perform the Sacrificial Dance in the past? "
With a single thought from Gu Qing Shan, the golden sprites of light around his body abruptly became extremely bright.
— — the golden light spread across the entire world like an avalanche.
The twin swords Heaven and Earth automatically appeared from the void of space and were held in his hands.
"Milady, I want to try again" Gu Qing Shan said.
"So … that's how it is …"
The female voice sounded a bit glad.
Following that, her voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
"Close your eyes and listen to me"
"Your time is very limited, you must sacrifice all the worlds of the past within 7 seconds, as well as complete this war of yours"
"The situation is unique, fortunately, you have trillions of Prayers on you, so you don't need to perform the Dance of the Earth God anymore, I will personally teach you the secrets of the Sword Dance"
"With my personal teachings, you will be able to directly enter the fourth stage of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance, use the seven swords to release trillions of Prayers and complete everything"
While she spoke, Gu Qing Shan felt another piece of information appearing in her mind.
A second later.
The female voice became extremely solemn: "The unfinished Sacrificial Dance shall now begin"
Gu Qing Shan abruptly opened his eyes and replied: "Understood"
He took a step forward.
The sound of the war drums resounded, filled with killing intent and as rapid as a thunderstorm!
Without any preparation, Gu Qing Shan swung the Heaven sword in a graceful arc towards the sky.
The sky was cut apart.
All the grey fog of [Chaos] scattered and disappeared together with the sky within the boundless space vortex.
— — [Chaos] had been blasted out of this world, disappearing without a trace.
The first strike.
Sacrificial Sword, [Sky Shatter]!
Following that, various strange entities manifested from the void of space.
These entities of unknown origins were gigantic, humanoid in shape, their limbs resembled claws, but they had no faces.
They were all staring at Gu Qing Shan, as if waiting for something.
In accordance with the unfinished promise from last time, they were here to witness a complete sacrifice.
Gu Qing Shan didn't have time to greet these remnant spirits of worlds.
He only had 7 seconds, so he had to hurry and perform the seven strikes!
He held the Earth sword in his hand, drew layers upon layers of sword images, and stabbed it deep into the ground.
The second strike.
Sacrificial Sword, [Earth Burial]!
On the other side of the battlefield, the Soul Shrieker abruptly roared.
『「 No! I am the Deity of [Chaos]! Era, grant me power, I shall bestow Divine Retribution!』」
It raised both hands and fully channeled the power of [Chaos].
In the distant void, there was indeed an endless amount of gray light descending from the sky, landing on its body.
But before it could act, Gu Qing Shan had shouted in a low voice: "Down!"
The ground split open.
Countless souls in pain crawled out from the ground and clung onto the Soul Shrieker.
『「 Scram!』」 the Soul Shrieker shouted.
But these were the souls of countless living beings that had died in its hands. These souls overlapped and worked together to pull the Soul Shrieker away.
No matter how strong the Soul Shrieker was, it couldn't deal with the pulling of countless souls at once.
In the blink of an eye, it was dragged underground.
Gu Qing Shan immediately released the Heaven sword.
The third strike!
The Heaven sword swiftly circled around the Earth sword like a bright gleam of light.
Sacrificial Sword, [Offering of Sacrifice]!
At some unknown point, the remnant spirits of worlds in the sky had already descended and entered the ground.
Using the power of the sacrifice formed from trillions of Prayers, they entered the ground and began to absorb all of the Soul Shrieker's power.
Following this, no matter how much power [Chaos] bestowed upon it, it would all be absorbed by the remnant spirits of worlds!
The Soul Shrieker had always viewed destroying worlds and spreading [Chaos] as its mission, and now it was being used as a sacrifice to the living beings that died at its hands, as well as the worlds that were destroyed at its hands.
Whatever power it brought to [Chaos], it would all be returned at this very moment.
This was its final resting place.
A second later, Gu Qing Shan's expression became extremely solemn.
His gaze fell onto the faint figure in the sky.
This guy — — -
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out, grabbed the Chao Yin sword from the void of space, pointed it at the other party from afar. As the other party coldly chuckled, Gu Qing Shan stabbed the sword into his own chest.
Strangely, there were no wounds on his body, and no blood flowed out.
The fourth strike, sacrificial sword, [Suffering of All Beings].
This was the [Sword of Interrogation], the damage it was supposed to inflict on oneself would ignore all of the other party's defenses and directly affect the other party's soul and body.
『No, what are you — –』
The faint figure clutched his chest, broke through the void of space, and vanished from this world.
Gu Qing Shan gripped the sword and forcefully twisted it into his own chest.
A corpse fell from the sky.
Bam!
The corpse fell to the ground.
Gu Qing Shan didn't look at the corpse anymore. He was about to unleash the next strike!
The Devil King Warden Rod was casually thrown forward and accurately stabbed into the corpse.
The Devil King Warden Rod shook.
Gu Qing Shan retracted his gaze, pulled the Chao Yin sword out of his chest, and danced around with it in hand.
All of this took a long time to describe, but it all happened in just a few seconds. Even the slightest bit of hesitation or mistake would've wasted precious time.
Fortunately, Gu Qing Shan remained calm and solemn!
— — the fifth strike, sacrificial sword, [World Reversal Offering].
The sacrificial offering's power absorption rate increased by 10 times!
All of the power would be converted and absorbed by the incomplete world spirits.
Immediately.
The Soul Shrieker's painful and unwilling roar resounded from deep underground.
『「 Don't even think — — I am — — the Deity of [Chaos] — —』」
However, the grey pillar of light that descended from above abruptly disappeared.
The Era of [Chaos] had endless power, but the remnant world spirits of the infinite worlds were constantly absorbing its power, so even it couldn't endure this endless consumption.
After weighing the pros and cons, [Chaos] gave up on the Soul Shrieker.
The ground shook intensely, then returned to normal.
Gu Qing Shan immediately noticed the Soul Shrieker's complete death.
At this moment, he felt a myriad of emotions.
This monster that had been constantly competing against me since the Age of Old had finally been slain in this world.
『Don't get distracted』 the hoarse female voice reminded him.
"Hm"
Gu Qing Shan let go of the Chao Yin sword and took out an autumn-water clear blue sword.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword!
He wielded the sword with both hands and slashed at the void of space.
The sixth strike, sacrificial sword, [Space-Time Offering]!
From the River of Time, sprites of light that looked like meteors flew up and landed in this world.
They landed on the battlefield and lightly lined up.
As everyone looked closely, they saw that the Prayers on these sprites of light had faded away to reveal the true form of ice crystals.
Each of these ice crystals contained a slumbering warrior.
They were the survivors that Lady Black Sea sent away in the past!
Because Little Xi had guaranteed that these people would be able to stay inside the ice crystals for a very long time, and since Gu Qing Shan couldn't leave, it was now the perfect time to save them all.
"Bro, they're still alive!" Meow excitedly shook Bali's arm.
"Hm, I can see" Bali showed a warm smile.
Lady Black Sea appeared from the void of space, nodded to Gu Qing Shan, and walked towards the ice crystals.
— — -she didn't need to die, so she naturally had a way to dispel the ice crystals and save these people.
Gu Qing Shan turned around. The four swords hovered in the air, moving with him.
Gu Qing Shan let go of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and wielded the twin swords Heaven and Earth again.
He took a deep breath and focused his mind.
Following this was the final strike of the sacrificial sword.
Everything would be changed.
