A thick stench of blood could be faintly felt from outside the mine.
Today, when a Cloud Pattern Spirit Ore was discovered in the mine, the mining cultivators immediately rioted, then Xue Nu came to suppress them, killed the manager and two squad captains, took Chen Si away, then ordered the new manager to kill the remaining squad captain, as well as the injured mining cultivators.
After killing so many people and a busy day, it was finally nighttime.
Today naturally wasn't a suitable day for mining, so after the new manager had established his authority, he happily announced that he would rest for the night and resume work tomorrow.
Gu Qing Shan concealed his presence, still hiding deep inside the dark mine.
He didn't do anything, only silently waiting.
— — waiting for time to move forward.
Finally.
It was nighttime.
Gu Qing Shan took out his pocket watch to take a look.
The pointer moved forward from the angel wing icon, pointing at the dark tunnel.
[Ding dong!]
The pocket watch let out a clear chime.
A line of glowing text appeared from the void of space:
[Attention: You can currently activate the non-fusion-type World Linking Device to head to the dark tunnel]
[By spending 10,000 Soul Points, you will be able to directly jump into the dark tunnel]
[Attention, once you jump into the dark tunnel, you will temporarily be unable to return to the Wraith realm, until the clock once again points to the Wraith realm scale]
[Would you like to pay?]
[Yes]
An invisible gust of wind drifted around Gu Qing Shan's hand, infusing it into the pocket watch.
[Ding ding ding ding ding!]
The pocket watch let out a resounding chime.
Instantly, the world completely disappeared.
The boundless darkness and the tunnel overlapped, displaying various apocalyptic scenes.
Gu Qing Shan took a step back and entered the scene.
The Wraith realm immediately left him.
The scenery around him slowly became clear, turning into a long, deep tunnel.
Gu Qing Shan looked around and found that he was standing in front of a cliff. The platform of bones from before had already disappeared.
— — -alright, after taking a detour to the Wraith realm, I've returned.
"I remember that Zhao Xiao Seng and I were at a fork in the road, I chose the left path, but there were actually two other paths, one going down, the other going forward" Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
Since the left path had already ended, it would be better for me to go back and try heading in another direction.
Before that —
Gu Qing Shan took out a colorful rooster statue from her bosom.
At times like this, even a little bit of information would be extremely useful.
Gu Qing Shan reached out and pulled the comb of the colorful rooster.
The rooster immediately came to life.
"Hoh, you're still alive?" the rooster cautiously looked around and asked.
"He's still alive, but there are too many mysteries here, I need some information" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What's that in your hand? Let me have a look. "Rooster said with interest.
Gu Qing Shan handed over the pocket watch.
— — the rooster was actually a function of the War God UI: [War God Intelligence], so Gu Qing Shan didn't hesitate at all.
The rooster received the pocket watch, carefully fiddled with it for a bit before speaking: "Strange, in the legends, there were supposed to be 12 scales … who was hiding all of this?"
"You know about this thing?" Gu Qing Shan quickly asked.
"That's right, at that time, to avoid the Apocalypse, the Awaitings ran into the Reality Gate and met the owner of this thing — –" the rooster replied.
Gu Qing Shan listened carefully, but after a while, the rooster still didn't say anything else.
"What happened after that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The rooster's eyes were straight, its mouth was closed, and its body was completely still as if it didn't hear anything.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
The rooster whispered: "Don't be noisy, I'm just like a wooden chicken"
"… Why are you like a wooden chicken?" Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.
"I've been reading a serial recently, this way of saying something halfway but not finishing is basically a cliffhanger — — just look at your blank expression, hehehehehe!"
The rooster suddenly came to life, slapped its belly with its wings and laughed, shaking its head.
"…" Gu Qing Shan silently looked at this rooster, thinking that the next time I summon it, I'll definitely show it how I cook a chicken.
— — -but I'm still asking for it, otherwise, I wouldn't know what happened all those years ago.
— — -but I'll definitely teach it a lesson from now on!
Gu Qing Shan silently swore.
"Brother rooster, your cliffhanger is quite impressive. Here, this is a small token of appreciation, take it first"
Gu Qing Shan transferred 20,000 Soul Points over.
Receiving this amount of Soul Points, the rooster became spirited again.
"Ah — — it's like this, your pocket watch came from four powerful monsters of the void, they are the leaders of all void monsters, known as the Four Evil Gods of the void"
"Why are they called Evil Gods?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The rooster explained: "As soon as the Awaitings hid in the Reality Gate, the four Evil Gods immediately discovered them. They also found out that almost all of the Awaitings were heavily wounded"
"These four monsters were afraid that the Awaitings would take control of the void after recovering, so they took advantage of the fact that the Awaitings were heavily wounded to attack and devour several of the heavily wounded Awaitings"
"This caused the wrath of both the [Order] and [Chaos] factions"
"The four powerful Awaitings acted together and fought against the four monsters for several days, finally defeating them and taking control of the space vortex"
"— — as you know, the four most powerful Awaitings were later called the Pillar Gods of the void, namely Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind"
"From that point on, the four void monsters were defeated and fled, eventually disappearing without a trace"
"This thing in your hand is a trinket left behind by the four Evil Gods"
At this point, the rooster suddenly leaned close to Gu Qing Shan's ear and whispered: "This dark tunnel was actually their work"
"Gu Qing Shan, you need to find the item left behind by the four Evil Gods. Although I don't know what it is, it must be inside the tunnel"
"Perhaps that item will be able to help you"
After saying so, the rooster turned back into a colorful statue and stopped moving.
Gu Qing Shan put the colorful rooster statue away.
Four Evil Gods.
In other words, they were entities strong enough to fight against the Earth Creator head-on.
But this tunnel is so deep that there's almost no end to it, how am I supposed to find the item left behind by the four Evil Gods?
From the void of space, a thread of darkness manifested into a thread that coiled around his left arm.
The other end of the black thread was pointing towards the direction of the tunnel.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
He found that he could completely sense the information on the other end of the black thread.
That was the location of the item I'm looking for.
After a while, Gu Qing Shan finally sighed and muttered: "Longing … as expected of a Fate-type Ability"
When he obtained this Ability, the War God UI had reminded him: [This is an extremely unique and rare Fate-type Ability, as deep as the ocean and as powerful as God. You must slowly comprehend it in order to realize its true value]
Gu Qing Shan had now experienced the power of this Fate-type Ability.
— — in times of need, Fate would immediately provide guidance. This is a Divine Skill among Divine Skills!
And now, he understood why the wraiths desired this Fate-type Ability so much.
— — I wonder how Fei Yue and the others are doing.
And Crow.
She wouldn't actually marry the Wraith Lord, would she?
Following Gu Qing Shan's thought, another black thread slowly manifested and coiled around his left arm.
As soon as the other end of the thread flew out, it was caught by another thread that appeared out of nowhere.
The two threads intertwined and slowly formed a single thread.
All of a sudden, Fei Yue's voice resounded from the thread:
"Very well, Gu Qing Shan, you've finally learned how to use this Fate-type Ability"
