Standing on the boat, Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the turbulent water.
The color of the water became deeper and deeper.
Forgetting River?
Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about it.
— — no, this feeling isn't Forgetting River.
Forgetting River gives off the feeling of being reborn in the midst of death, forgetting everything and starting over again.
But the river here exudes an endless sense of despair and chilliness.
The boat slowly drifted.
The water around them became wider and wider until they couldn't see the end.
"What is that?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Not too far away from him, at the center of the river, there was a small protruding island.
Although it was called a small island, it was only a few meters in diameter.
A single statue stood on top of the island.
The statue looked like some sort of reptilian beast, but it had three heads.
One head looked like a ferocious tiger, one looked like an eagle, and the last head looked like a human, but not a human.
[Come]
A voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind:
[Come to the island, I want to pass my inheritance to you, that way I can die in peace]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the statue.
This statue took up all the space on the island, so anyone who wanted to get on the island wouldn't have any space to stand on.
"I can't get on" Gu Qing Shan replied.
[You can control the boat to come here — — don't jump over, the boat will disappear] the statue said.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the boat below him.
Sure enough, the boat was drifting towards the direction of the statue as he wanted.
"Is that right?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Yes, that's right] the statue replied.
Gu Qing Shan controlled the boat to cut through the water and sailed a few dozen meters away from the island.
The statue's three heads were staring at Gu Qing Shan, following the direction of the boat.
[Why did you leave?] the statue asked in confusion.
[Because I have something to do, I'll come find you again when I return] Gu Qing Shan replied.
The statue said, "Listen to my advice. Since you've obtained a ship, you should use it to escape from this tomb instead of going deeper."
The boat stayed in the water.
Gu Qing Shan asked confusedly, "But I want to go in and have a look."
"Don't go in. There are countless Doomsday Suns in there. Countless powerful existences in the void in the past have died to those Doomsday Suns, let alone you."
The stone statue continued, "Run! Take my inheritance and run away quickly! This is your only chance of survival! "
Gu Qing Shan took a deep look at the stone statue.
He steered the boat and continued to sail towards the end of the river.
Not long after.
The island on the water surface behind him suddenly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan felt relieved.
He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
This time, he didn't have any information. He was completely relying on his own cautiousness and intuition to make a choice.
The other party cared so much about his ship …
There had to be some sort of rule that prevented him from boarding the ship directly.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought to herself. She let go of the control of the boat and let it continue to move in a certain direction.
A few minutes later.
A new situation appeared in front of the boat.
A black object was bobbing up and down on the surface of the river, almost like a piece of wood.
Gu Qing Shan drew her sword and carefully observed it.
Unfortunately, the black object seemed to be obscured by something. There was also a faint mist drifting above the river, so even inner sight couldn't clearly observe it.
When the boat got closer, Gu Qing Shan could finally see what it was.
— — -it was a black finger that was several dozen meters long.
The finger seemed to have sensed the boat and started to struggle in the water.
A gentle female voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind:
"The glory and honor of the past have already faded, I now need a successor. Come, you can learn everything about the void from me!"
"Brave human, come and be my successor!"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the black finger and asked: "Who are you? Why are you here in the form of a finger? "
The female voice gently replied: "I couldn't stop the destruction of the Deep Apocalypse, only this finger remained, drifting here for countless years — — but now, I can't hold on much longer, I need you to accept all of my knowledge and continue the flame of my lineage!"
Gu Qing Shan went silent and said nothing.
In his mind.
The boundless coldness and danger caused his heart to beat faster and faster.
The feeling of dread surged like a tidal wave.
This feeling — — -
Something's not right.
This wasn't instinct, but rather a vague impression obtained through their conversation and perception of their surroundings.
Gu Qing Shan instinctively wanted to use his World Technique.
— — once the [Parallel Dream] technique was activated, he would be able to observe what the black finger would do if he made a certain reaction.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled that his World Technique had already disappeared.
Indeed, when he completed the final strike of the [Offering to the Infinite Worlds], the Origin of the worlds of the past that had fused into one had entered his eye, causing the two World Techniques to disappear.
The new World Technique was still in the process of evolving and hadn't manifested yet.
Gu Qing Shan sighed helplessly and temporarily gave up on doing anything.
In this dangerous environment, the small boat was already very deep in the water while carrying him, so it couldn't carry such a heavy finger anymore.
He no longer paid attention to the black finger.
Without a sound, the small boat slowly drifted away from the other side of the black finger.
The female voice became hurried: 「 Wait a minute, as long as you save me, I will tell you a secret. This secret is related to your survival! 」
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "My life is more important than the secret, farewell"
The female voice abruptly became high-pitched and sharp, using a sharp voice to exude the deepest malice:
「 Entity on the boat, you don't know who you've angered 」
「 I am the ruler of all gloom within the void, the shadows of all things are under my control, yet an ant like you dares to reject me!? 」
「 I curse you in the name of the gloom! Regardless of which graveyard you choose, you will die within the Deep Apocalypse! 」
「 Ahahahaha! 」
The voice laughed hysterically.
Following this laughter, the black finger had also sunk into the river, no longer visible.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bone-piercing chill.
— — -he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
This sensation came and went very quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, making it seem like everything that happened just now was just an illusion.
But Gu Qing Shan knew that this was a real sensation.
Lines of glowing text also appeared on the War God UI:
[You've been afflicted with the wicked curse of the void monster: Gloom Void Matriarch]
[When you step into a certain graveyard, you will surely die there]
[Description: Fortunately, you came here as' Night Cruiser ', so as soon as your' Night Cruiser 'dies, this curse will disappear]
Gu Qing Shan lightly sighed in relief.
Sure enough, those excessively powerful void monsters weren't completely dead yet, using various methods, they were still able to exist within this river of chaotic space-time.
From the looks of it, the Lord of the Space-Time Mystery Nest was an even more outstanding entity.
After all, it managed to escape, only to be suppressed and sealed away by the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
Otherwise, it might have been able to rise again!
Gu Qing Shan's mind was in a mess, feeling that these monsters' words and actions were a bit strange.
Without waiting for him to think any further, he saw a faint mist rising from the water several hundred meters in front of him.
This mist quickly formed into a giant skull.
This skull was slightly different from a human's, its cheeks were too long, almost three times the length of a human's.
As soon as this skull appeared, the entire river seemed to have come to life.
Countless strange creatures appeared from the bottom of the river, hurriedly fleeing from where the skull was.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly sensed something and lightly tapped his Inventory Bag.
The colorful rooster leapt out from the Inventory Bag and yelled at him: "Run! Run! I can sense the true presence of the Apocalypse! "
"True? What do you mean by true? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Idiot, a lot of Apocalypses are merely evolved versions of the true Apocalypse, they're very weak, nothing but illusions that can only destroy a few weak worlds, this isn't one of those trash!" the colorful rooster hurriedly replied.
This colorful rooster was the product of the fusion of [War God Intelligence] and the Hitman Guild's most advanced intelligence container, so Gu Qing Shan naturally trusted it.
He turned the boat around and hurriedly fled in the opposite direction.
Behind the boat, the skull slowly moved forward.
The floating objects on the surface of the river where it was facing quickly disappeared completely.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
— — -can a mere gaze destroy all living beings?
Or is it using some sort of method that I don't know about?
If a mere gaze is enough to destroy everything, the boat wouldn't have been able to escape!
"Hey, can this skull be killed?"
Gu Qing Shan drew his sword, calmed himself down, and began to prepare for battle.
The colorful rooster glanced at the skull made of mist, then collapsed on the ground, speaking full of despair: "Not good, not good, we won't be able to escape this time"
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "Then tell me quickly, can it be killed? The only path we can take right now is to fight it "
"It's no longer in Space-Time, so you can't kill it"
The colorful rooster explained further: "This is the true form of an Apocalypse that came from outside the gate. Once it sees you, the Laws of Space and Time would no longer be able to exist on your body, you would enter eternal blankness, only death would give you a chance to escape"
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while.
Suddenly, he sighed, hugged the colorful rooster in his chest, and said: "Time's up"
Instantly, he disappeared without a trace. …
At another location.
The Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
The Western Sea Grotto.
The School of Shan Hai.
The Study Lodge's storage room.
Gu Qing Shan woke up from a destroyed world.
