The Wraith realm.
The Wraith temple.
Deep inside the silent temple, three statues stood in order, completely motionless.
These were the statues of the three Wraith Lords.
They stood here as if they were protecting something, or waiting for someone.
Suddenly, one of the statues spoke up: "It's been half an hour, but there's still no news from Soul Eradication Mountain, most likely a failure"
Another statue spoke up: "Our Soul Eradication Mountain's formation hasn't had any issues for the last 500 years, it seems that Hitman's foundation is quite deep"
The final statue spoke up: "How about we do it ourselves and — — -"
Its voice was abruptly cut off.
The sound of a bell resounded from the void of space, cutting off the three Wraith Lords' conversation.
Ding dong — — ding dong — — ding dong — — ding dong — — ding dong — — ding dong — — ding dong — — - ding dong — — -
A total of six chimes reverberated throughout the dark temple.
The Wraith temple abruptly disappeared, replaced by a new world.
There was no sun in the sky, but a faint white light radiated from a towering statue that reached all the way to the clouds, illuminating the entire world.
Around the three Wraith Lords, there was a lush green meadow, countless fragrant flowers, a clear fountain, as well as countless ivory-white minarets.
A four-winged angel descended from above, arriving in front of the three Wraith Lords.
The four-winged angel lightly bowed, then spoke: "Greetings, Wraith Lord Fate Obstruction, Giant Frame, and Wraith Lord Karmic Fire, I'm here on the Holy Son's orders to report a certain matter"
The three Wraith Lords returned the greeting: "Please speak"
The four-winged angel spoke: "The Holy Son told me to inform you that the Titled Hitman had recognized a sword in his hand, it was the Earth sword of the twin swords Heaven and Earth"
"This person's identity can be confirmed, but there was a hint of Space-time fluctuation coming from his body. The Holy Son was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle this properly, so he specifically ordered me to lead everyone here to lend you a hand"
Wraith Lord Fate Obstruction spoke: "The twin swords Heaven and Earth … strange, these two swords should currently be within the 900 million World Layers, under the surveillance of the Eternal Abyss and the Awaitings of [Order] and [Chaos], how could they …"
Wraith Lord Giant Frame spoke: "There is no problem with this, I also remember that the twin swords are still within the 900 million World Layers, unless …"
Wraith Lord Karmic Fire said, "Unless this assassin came from the past or the future!"
The angel's expression was cold as she continued: 「 According to our intelligence, Fei Yue of the Void has already met with this person, this is something that cannot be allowed to happen — — to prevent this person from affecting our true plan, I will lead the angels and the three Wraith Lords to eliminate this person! 」
…
Void City.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the lobby of the library and waited for a while.
"You're looking for me?" A voice rang out.
Gu Qing Shan looked in the direction of the voice and saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing not too far away. His expression was a little nervous.
"You are?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The middle-aged man replied: "This humble one is Omaki, a researcher in Void City's library — — they said that a Titled Hitman was looking for me"
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and fell silent.
He had never seen this person before.
"Not too long ago, did you go to fight against the Saint Spirit world's Plague Apocalypse?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and hesitantly answered: "At the time … I was doing an experiment, but something went wrong and I fell unconscious, only waking up yesterday"
Gu Qing Shan looked at him, slightly released her killing intent, and asked in a low voice: "Can you guarantee that you're telling the truth?"
The middle-aged man sighed and tiredly answered: "Indeed, I had indeed lost my ID card. As soon as I found out that I participated in that war and survived, I immediately knew that someone was impersonating me"
"But what could I say? If that person was able to steal my ID card without anyone noticing, it wouldn't be too hard for him to take my life, so I naturally couldn't tell anyone "
— — -this person was wearing a pair of thick glasses, his expression was one of discomfort from talking to someone, his expression was tense and stiff, his strength … was also much weaker than the Omaki I knew.
— — -he wasn't lying.
Even Gu Qing Shan could instinctively come to this conclusion.
"You … have you ever come into contact with the Church?" Gu Qing Shan pondered and asked.
"The Church?" The middle-aged man's expression glowed with a different kind of light, then began to speak: "I'm a loyal believer, the Church of Splendor is extremely powerful. They have always protected a powerless person like me who only focuses on research, even providing us with funds and protection"
"Right, are you also a believer?" the middle-aged man asked.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a split second.
He was about to leave just now, but the middle-aged man's final words successfully drew his attention.
"I'm a believer, take a look"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan took out the circular light tube.
"A Saint Chosen believer! My apologies, it turns out your position is much higher than mine "the middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you know what this represents?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course, only the most staunch believers would know about this halo, and I happen to be qualified" the middle-aged man's expression became a bit more respectful.
He even performed a holy salute to Gu Qing Shan while staring at the ring of light.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned.
This halo that was used to track and locate him had now turned around to prove his identity as a believer.
"Do you care about this a lot?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, this is a kind of proof that can be shown to the Church in exchange for more research funds" the middle-aged man truthfully replied.
"Then do you know how many believers of the Church are in Void City's library?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The middle-aged man was still staring at the halo and answered: "I only know that there are a few people in my field of study, I rarely come into contact with researchers from other fields, so I don't know who else is a believer"
"Ah? What kind of research do you do in your field of study? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
The middle-aged man replied: "We study the world within the void and its related content"
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
The person who impersonated Omaki didn't kill him to silence him.
This means that the real Omaki still has a certain amount of value.
"Pardon me for asking, but what is your field of study?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Me?" the middle-aged man puffed out his chest and pridefully answered: "I study the history of war between multiple worlds"
History of war between multiple worlds?
Gu Qing Shan silently remembered this term.
"You must be the best in this field" he flattered.
"Ahaha, don't say that, there are actually a few other experts who are also quite skilled in this field — — although they are still a bit lacking compared to me" the middle-aged man embarrassedly replied.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
— — -this is a person who is obsessed with scientific research and doesn't understand the ways of the world.
"Here, this is for you. Remember, never tell anyone that you were impersonated, this is for your own good"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan manifested a white fog around her body and vanished in front of the man's eyes.
The middle-aged man was a bit surprised and looked at his hand.
Just now, he gave me the circular light tube.
"This … is great, with this proof, I'll have enough resources for my next research!"
As he spoke, he put away the lamp ecstatically.
…
Deep into the night.
An orange cat was quickly running under the cover of the night.
The orange cat flew through the tall buildings of the city, only taking a few moments to find his destination.
He lightly landed on the cold street and looked at the buildings in front of him.
The Church was right in front of him.
It was currently late at night, so the believers had already left. The Church was also very quiet, only a few angels could be heard singing hymns.
「 Do you want to silently infiltrate and investigate? 」 the Earth sword's voice resounded.
The orange cat replied: "No, the Great Flood is about to descend, and I'll die before that happens — — we don't have time to slowly investigate"
"Then what now?"
"I'm almost certain that this was the Church's handiwork — — and now, I need to force that person out"
The orange cat raised his paw and swung forward.
An excited 'wu wu' sound resounded from the void of space.
A sprite of light about the size of a fingernail appeared out of nowhere.
It flickered with a dim light and floated in the wind, flying in the direction of the Church.
At the very next moment.
This faint glow lightly trembled, then abruptly manifested into a blazing sun that unleashed large clusters of crimson flames like a meteor shower towards the Church's buildings.
— — Chaos Divine Skill, [Azure Flame].
This was a Divine Skill from the [Chaos] Serpentes King, Ouroboros!
Almost as soon as the azure flame appeared, the Church's alarms rang out. Groups of angels flew to the sky to receive the intense flames!
