In the wilderness.
A martial artist.
A young man.
A tall dark-skinned man wearing a grass skirt and a skull.
The three of them knelt in front of Gu Qing Shan.
A gust of wind blew past. The air exuded a sense of vicissitudes and ancientness.
— — -who knows how many years this world has existed for?
Gu Qing Shan sighed, retracted her gaze, and looked at the three of them.
"Kneeling while talking is quite tiring, it also hurts my pride, I really don't want to do this"
He awkwardly continued: "About that — –"
"Can I let them stand up?"
A breath's worth of time passed.
The mechanical voice answered: [The grace of God can naturally bring glory to mortals, if you allow, they can stand up]
Gu Qing Shan was pleased: "Then stand up"
Gu Qing Shan quickly stepped forward and helped the martial artist stand up.
The other two also stood up.
Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised and pointed at the young man and the dark-skinned man: "Hah, I didn't tell you two to stand up"
The two of them froze.
The mechanical voice answered again: [So that's how it is, mortals who haven't received God's grace, kneel!]
The young man and the dark-skinned man stood still.
The mechanical voice became frigid: [Your Quest rewards have been canceled, if you do not kneel, you will both be turned to dust]
Pu!
Pu!
The young man and the dark-skinned man both knelt down.
Between life and death, it was a very easy choice.
Gu Qing Shan didn't look at the two of them and instead clasped her fist towards the martial artist: "May I ask which world of the void you came from, sir?"
The martial artist looked at Gu Qing Shan and spoke as if he was sleepwalking: "By the grace of God, I came from the # 7961 tunnel world"
A screen of light appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
At a certain part of the dark tunnel, the Reality Wall had revealed another world.
This world was filled with various giant beasts, as well as martial artists who relied on these beasts.
Lines of small annotations appeared:
[36,000 worlds have been explored and controlled]
[Marking: # 7967 tunnel world, a Savage world, martial arts civilization]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the World Wall and recalled the scene when she first entered the tunnel.
At that time, after he erased the Life Talismans that covered the walls, he saw an ocean world, many worlds destroyed by the Apocalypse, he even saw a giant walking alone on the wasteland.
— — -so there were actually so many worlds inside the tunnel.
But no one had ever known this!
The Wraith realm had hidden the entire dark tunnel, so no one knew the secret of the tunnel!
Countless years ago, the Four Evil Gods occupied this place.
Did they build this place?
Gu Qing Shan looked at the cultivators and continued to ask: "What is your harvest? You can tell me now."
The martial artist replied: "We examined the remains and came to a conclusion through analysis"
[Just like before, this corpse died at the beginning of the Apocalypse Era. The moment the Reality Gate was opened, countless Apocalypses descended. Before this corpse died, it resisted a total of 31 Apocalypses, but was completely destroyed by the 32nd Apocalypse]
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What other harvest did you get?"
The martial artist replied: "Before the corpse died, it seemed to be trying to escape. Its posture told us that it was heading towards a certain direction. If we want to know more, we will need to continue exploring"
As soon as he said so, a screen of light appeared.
This screen appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan. A line of glowing text quickly appeared on it:
[Your majesty, Matriarch of Myriad Earths, in consideration of your presence here, the exploration authority has been transferred to you]
[Everything is now up to you, you may personally issue the follow-up Quests]
As Gu Qing Shan silently read this line of text, his thoughts quickly surged.
He didn't even need to think about it to understand something very important.
— — the dark tunnel wasn't created by the Four Evil Gods.
Because even they were still exploring this place!
Gu Qing Shan slowly sighed.
What exactly is this tunnel?
It hides at least 36,000 worlds, as well as a few Apocalypses that were let in when the Reality Gate was first opened.
And the ruins of the past!
Gu Qing Shan didn't even need to think to know that the opening of the Reality Gate was the moment when the Awaitings entered.
But what kind of civilization did these ruins belong to!?
Who knows?
Who knows?
Even the Four Evil Gods had to constantly recruit cannon fodder to search for clues bit by bit.
Lady Fusi once tried to peek into the Wraith realm, but was blocked by some sort of mysterious power and couldn't reach this place.
At this moment, Gu Qing Shan felt like he was standing under the boundless starry sky, while the entire galaxy of stars above was filled with countless secrets that made it impossible for anyone to escape.
He closed his eyes, then took two deep breaths.
"You've done very well, you may now return with the corresponding reward"
He told the martial artist.
The martial artist asked in disbelief: "I can no longer participate in the follow-up Quests?"
Gu Qing Shan put his hand on the screen of light and said: "The number of participants will be changed to two, the martial artist from the # 7967 tunnel may return to his world and conclude this Quest"
[Understood] the mechanical voice replied.
A flash of light descended from above and enveloped the martial artist's body.
He immediately vanished.
Gu Qing Shan then turned to the other two and continued: "Issue the Quest, continue to search in the direction the corpse escaped in until you find something"
"If the Quest fails … then you're definitely dead"
[Reward for completing the Quest — — right, what kind of rewards do you usually get?]
The mechanical voice replied: [Normally, the reward is time to survive, but if the Quest's completion rate is high, the reward will be a certain amount of World Origin power. World Origin power will help their world become stronger and produce more treasures]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two of them and said: "Follow this rule"
[Understood]
The mechanical voice told the two kneeling people: [Begin issuing the Quest]
It repeated Gu Qing Shan's words.
After it finished, Gu Qing Shan told the two of them: "Do a good job, I'm a very fair person, if you do a good job, I won't be stingy with your rewards"
The two of them stood up.
The dark-skinned lanky man said: "Even if what you said isn't true, we still have to listen to you, don't we?"
He stared at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "That's right, when you were stronger, one of you wanted my soul, the other wanted my corpse, and now that I'm stronger than you, I want you to work — — - that's still very fair"
The dark-skinned lanky man couldn't say anything else, so he turned around and silently headed back into the wilderness.
The young man followed behind him.
They quickly went far away.
Gu Qing Shan was still standing there blankly.
A screen of light appeared in front of him, showing the scene of the two of them running forward.
They went past the location where the corpse was discovered and continued to head deeper into the ruins.
All of a sudden, the ground in front of them caved in.
A deep cave was revealed.
"We've discovered a cave" the dark-skinned lanky man reported.
His voice was transmitted to Gu Qing Shan through the screen of light.
"Continue to search"
Gu Qing Shan ordered.
The dark-skinned lanky man and the young man carefully went deeper into the cave.
On the screen of light, the scenery around them turned dark. As the two of them went deeper, everything slowly became clear in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
As Gu Qing Shan watched, she suddenly had a thought.
"I want to select a few people to participate in the next Quest, is that possible?"
The mechanical voice replied: [Of course, you may choose any of the 36,000 worlds under the control of the four venerables]
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Very well, I need to select a few people from the Wraith realm"
