A long line of text appeared on the War God UI:
[As the skill performed by Adorable was' borrowed ', the following explanation is hereby given:]
"When the next skill is' borrowed ', the traces of the previous skill will disappear completely, so you can only learn the most recent skill from the jade pendant."
It was not hard to understand. Gu Qing Shan glanced at it and said, "Understood."
A final line of text appeared on the War God UI:
[To comprehend Life Talisman: Wicked Thoughts Burning Spirit, 100 million Soul Points]
Gu Qing Shan was startled and asked: "Why do you need so much Soul Points?"
The War God UI replied: [Because you haven't practiced any Life Talisman techniques, a large amount of origin power of the soul will be required to decompose, learn, reconstruct, and complete the Life Talisman. Through estimations, it will be around 100 million]
Gu Qing Shan asked again,
"If I learn the Life Talisman Technique, will the soul power required for this technique gradually decrease like before?"
[Indeed] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan showed a look of reminiscence.
Something like this had happened before.
For example, when he was comprehending the Divine Skill [Ground Shrink], he trained hard for a long time.
As he became more proficient in his techniques, the amount of Soul Power he needed to comprehend his techniques decreased.
So the correct way to put it is:
If he had a deep understanding of the skill, then the cost of learning the skill would be reduced accordingly.
Unfortunately, the talismans in the cultivation world were called spiritual talismans and were mainly used to release spells.
While the Wraith realm's talismans are Life Talismans, which require vitality to activate.
— — -the entire Wraith realm is a mystery, so it's almost impossible to understand their civilization, knowledge, and skills.
That was why he didn't have the chance to learn other Life Talismans, nor could he gain a deeper understanding of this art through practice.
Gu Qing Shan was slightly hesitant.
100 million Soul Points to learn the Wraith's Life Talisman technique.
Was it worth it?
He thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.
「 System, I want to pay 100 million Soul Points to comprehend [Wicked Thoughts Burning Spirit] 」
On the War God UI, his remaining Soul Points value jumped.
Half of his 200 million Soul Points were instantly erased.
The War God UI's voice responded:
"Soul Force received. Beginning to consume Soul Origin Energy to break down this Life Talisman and record it."
"Please note that this is a Civilization Domain that has never been understood before. The interface needs some time."
[One hour later, you will obtain all the knowledge related to this Life Talisman]
Gu Qing Shan gladly said, "Thank you."
— — this was Red Wraith's Life Talisman, if the War God UI could disassemble this talisman and obtain a large amount of knowledge from it, Gu Qing Shan believed that 100 million Soul Points wouldn't be a loss.
The War God UI slowly went silent.
Gu Qing Shan raised her head and looked at the magnificent white light that connected the heavens and the earth.
The life within the white light seemed to be rapidly recovering its strength.
With every passing second, Gu Qing Shan felt that it was getting stronger.
This power was even stronger than the Saint Spirit world, almost on the same level as the Earth Creator and Lady Fusi.
"Truly … amazing."
Gu Qing Shan murmured softly, feeling that she had neglected something.
He silently thought for a bit, then suddenly recalled something.
Earlier, the War God UI had notified me that I was baptized by the [Chaos] Serpentes King Ouroboros.
— — right.
[Chaos]!
Could this Serpentes King be an Awaiting of the [Chaos] faction?
Gu Qing Shan was doubtful.
"Sorry for the wait"
A gentle voice resounded.
Following this voice, all the holy white light in the sky retracted and returned to the ground.
The forest was gone.
A lake of light appeared where the forest originally was.
"Hello, were you the one who helped me dispel the hex? I have to thank you "
Gu Qing Shan politely asked.
The gentle voice replied: "There's no need to be so formal. In truth, you've saved my life. Not too long ago, I pulled the world out from the brink of destruction, expending almost all of my power — — but before I could even take a breather, I was struck by the Plague Apocalypse and almost died"
Gu Qing Shan's mind was in turmoil.
Indeed.
The extinct monster world, the Plague world, and the Saint Spirit world were all heading towards destruction, but the remaining Origins of these three worlds had fused together to reverse space-time and temporarily obtain a chance to continue existing.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Pardon me for asking, but what exactly happened in your world?"
The gentle voice continued from the flickering lake of light:
[Perhaps you don't know, or perhaps you came from another fused world, but if you want to know, I can tell you a bit]
"Thank you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The gentle voice continued:
[The void calls us the Awaitings, and we also call ourselves that]
[In my original parallel world, the Apocalypse had knocked open the Reality Gate, the infinite worlds within the space vortex were gradually destroyed]
[Our slumbering selves had yet to recover our powers, but when we woke up, we saw that everything had come to an end]
[We were filled with despair — — - because the means that we had exhausted all of our power to prepare had all failed in the face of the Apocalypse]
Gu Qing Shan's gaze froze a bit.
The so-called means were most likely [Order] and [Chaos].
But Gu Qing Shan didn't ask anything and simply remained silent, waiting for the other party to continue.
The gentle voice continued:
[The Awaitings are all dead]
[— — only I, the [Chaos] Serpentes King, have found the only way to survive]
Hearing this, Gu Qing Shan asked: "Your excellency, did you really find a way to fight against the Apocalypse?"
[That is not the case]
The [Chaos] Serpentes King sounded a bit bitter: [I have only found a way to temporarily prolong my feeble existence]
"Prolong your feeble existence?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
[I discovered that the majority of Apocalypses share a common characteristic, that is, when they sense that the world is destined to be destroyed, they would no longer summon other Apocalypses — — - they would simply go along with the current state of affairs and silently wait for everything to end] the [Chaos] Serpentes King replied.
"Please elaborate further" Gu Qing Shan solemnly said.
The [Chaos] Serpentes King replied: [The world that we currently reside in is actually a destroyed world. Furthermore, we require all entities that enter this world to be unique individuals, which would confuse the Apocalypses]
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized and continued: "Because they are all unique individuals, there is no chance for them to reproduce, not to mention that this world has already been destroyed, so when the Apocalypses encounter this world, they would assume that this world will be destroyed sooner or later, so they would no longer attack it"
[That is indeed the case, you are very smart] the [Chaos] Serpentes King replied.
Gu Qing Shan felt like a storm was raging in her mind.
— — -so this is possible!
This is the same as deceiving the Apocalypses, but not deceiving them at the same time.
Because individuals that are too unique wouldn't be able to form a clan, nor would they have the chance to reproduce, fated to die alone in this world.
And the world was indeed heading towards complete destruction step by step.
However, this process would be very slow, and those unique individuals would be able to survive, at least for a while.
"To think that you could think of such a method, I am truly impressed"
Gu Qing Shan sincerely said.
The [Chaos] Serpentes King dejectedly replied: [In the end, we still lost to the Apocalypses, we will die sooner or later]
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
The [Chaos] Serpentes King also didn't say anything.
What exactly are the Apocalypses?
Why do the Apocalypses keep appearing, spreading, and destroying everything?
If all the Awaitings die, then — — -
What about Lady Fusi?
She is the companion of Time, able to travel through the River of Time and pry into secrets that others cannot.
Furthermore, what about the Earth Creator's fate in that parallel world?
— — -in truth, Gu Qing Shan still hadn't fully discovered the true power of the Coin of the Earth.
Because he was too weak.
But the Earth Creator was different, it was too powerful.
It was able to fully utilize [True Luck] of Fate, while the Fusi Fusi was able to borrow the power of Time — — -
Are the other Pillar Gods still alive?
Gu Qing Shan recalled that when she became the Earth God, the Soul Artifacts manifested by the other three Holy Pillars came to bear witness.
The Wind God's Soul Artifact was a blue key.
— — the Key of the Wind.
If the Wind God of the four Pillar Gods was still alive, they could even use the power of the Key of the Wind to travel anywhere within the space vortex.
This way, the Three Great Laws of Time, Space, and Fate would all be on their side.
Perhaps they wouldn't be able to fight against the Apocalypse, but wouldn't they be able to survive even that?
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but try asking: "Did all of your companions die?"
「 Yes, I'm sure of that 」 the [Chaos] Serpentes King replied.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned and asked: "Then what about your enemies?"
「 Enemies?
」 The [Chaos] Serpentes King pondered: 「 Those fellows from the [Order] faction seemed to have escaped to the Eternal Abyss 」
「 Too much time has passed, let me think … 」
「 The Inner Plane has been destroyed, but at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss, there is a passage that leads to the destroyed Inner Plane 」
「 But something terrifying seems to be guarding that passage — — because of that thing, the Eternal Abyss can only remain dormant, not even daring to awaken … 」
「 How laughable, the Eternal Abyss is the most powerful primordial monster of the space vortex, yet it is afraid of that thing 」
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
There is a terrifying demonic creature at the bottom of the Abyss.
Boss had also mentioned this before, but at the time, Boss's expression wasn't very good, as if he had no intentions of returning to the Inner Plane.
Gu Qing Shan could sense that Boss had his own thoughts, but more than anything, he felt helpless.
— — -helpless, unable to do it.
The [Chaos] Serpentes King continued: 「 Once … the Eternal Abyss used everything they had to come up with a weapon to deal with that terrifying thing 」
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, she already knew what weapon it was, but still asked: "What was it?"
The [Chaos] Serpentes King's voice went silent for a bit before answering: 「 It was the Protector of Extinction, the Sword of Destiny, the Key to All Worlds, the Demon Warding Weapon at the bottom of the Endless Abyss, the legendary twin swords: Heaven and Earth 」
"The Demon Warding Weapon at the bottom of the Endless Abyss …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
The [Chaos] Serpentes King continued: 「 Unfortunately, the sword known as' Earth 'was completely destroyed 」
Gu Qing Shan cut in: "You didn't make another one?"
「 This weapon carries a unique destiny, carrying the Laws of Causality and Mysteries with it, and would only appear once in the long river of history 」 the [Destruction] Serpentes King sighed emotionally.
「 Speaking of which, at the final moments before the Apocalypse destroyed everything, there might have been one or two members of the [Order] faction who managed to stop that terrifying creature at the bottom of the Endless Abyss and entered the destroyed Inner Plane alive — — or none of them 」
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "Why did they go there?"
「 … I don't know 」
The [Chaos] Serpentes King replied with a confused expression.
