Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock …
Within the deathly silence, the two watches gave off the same rhythmic ticking sound.
At this point, there was nothing else in the dark tunnel except for the ticking of the two watches.
The pocket watch with six ticks represented six worlds.
The pocket watch with 12 ticks represented six white worlds, as well as six completely dark ticks.
"I should've thought of that, there must be some sort of connection between them …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
All of a sudden, a resounding voice resounded in the darkness:
[Ally of the Divine King, entrusted by the Divine King, envoy of the Empress, the three of you may learn of the Pantheon's past, the beginning of the Apocalypse …]
Gu Qing Shan abruptly looked up.
There was nothing else in the dark tunnel, and no one at all.
But the entire dark tunnel was becoming brighter.
It was becoming brighter and brighter, almost turning into a sea of light.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[Attention!]
[Three items on your body are resonating with the dark tunnel]
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I noticed"
He took off the Abyssal ring, placing it together with the pocket watch and the black watch.
These three items were giving off faint vibrations that resonated with the entire dark tunnel.
"The Abyssal ring, the non-fusion-type world linking device, the 12 ticks [Grasp of Infinite Rejection] — — - what exactly is going on?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The War God UI replied: [The system does not know the specifics, but the resonance of these three items seems to have activated a certain function of the dark tunnel]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Even though he had faced countless difficult situations and unexpected situations, he still didn't know what he was going to face at this moment.
The world faded away.
A new world manifested.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly found himself standing in front of a towering divine temple that reached all the way into the clouds.
The architectural style of this divine temple was very familiar, almost like — — -
The Inner Plane.
All of a sudden, the entire world began to collapse and shrink.
"I didn't think you'd be able to do this. Just in time for me to borrow the power of this projection to talk to you"
A voice resounded.
Gu Qing Shan slightly looked up to see a figure slowly manifesting in the void of darkness.
He stood opposite Gu Qing Shan.
Boss.
Gu Qing Shan calmed down and said: "You gave me the Abyssal Ring a long time ago, saying that it was a ring of alliance between the Eternal Abyss and I. In other words, from that moment on, you had already predicted today's events?"
Boss said: "The Book of Prophesized Destiny has shown itself, but more importantly …"
"What?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I can see boundless potential in you. You are someone from the Samsara, and you have a close relationship with the Awaitings. As you grow stronger, you will meet her sooner or later," Boss said.
"Who is she?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss said, "You know."
Gu Qing Shan was silent for a while. Suddenly, she recalled the future scene that she saw when she was in a state of spiritual wander.
A woman clad in endless starlight stood in front of Xie Dao Ling.
"After countless years, I've finally found you. Now, you shall be destroyed forever."
Saying so, the woman attacked Xie Dao Ling.
— – Reneedol!
Gu Qing Shan appeared to understand and asked: "Why does she want to deal with someone from the Samsara?"
Boss replied: "Because she has a certain fear towards the Samsara. She can see things that the myriad Deities can't, so she wanted to completely destroy the Samsara, but after many years of effort, she found that it was impossible"
"After that, she began to take in the fragments of the Samsara for her own use, like the Wraith realm"
Gu Qing Shan carefully thought, then said: "The Fate Corrosion was also her doing"
"Indeed, the Wraith realm listens to her orders" Boss confirmed.
— — the entire matter is finally clear.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "Boss, what exactly are you trying to do by appearing now? Are you going to help her kill me, or are you going to kill her together with me? "
Boss didn't answer her and instead tilted his head: "I've now … lost all of my powers, what else do you think I can do?"
"But now that you've received the support of [Order], you'll only become stronger and stronger from now on" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Boss smiled and sighed: "I'll never be as strong as I was before"
"Before?" Gu Qing Shan sharply asked.
"Yes — — I think you should know what my Title is" Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "The Abyssal King, the Exiled Apostle, the Peerless Fallen One, Greatest Above the Star Crown, the great Lord of Infinite Origins"
Boss replied: "In the past, I only had a single Title. People called me the 'Great Lord of Infinite Origins'"
"Why did they call you that?"
"Because countless worlds were born from my body, living beings enjoyed the beauty of life — — until the Reality Gate opened, the Apocalypse descended and destroyed my body"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything.
He had already thought of a certain shocking answer, so he calmly spoke: "Don't tell me that the Eternal Abyss is actually your body"
Boss shook his head: "Of course not"
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Boss continued: "It's only a part of my body"
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Normally, whenever they talked about the Eternal Abyss, Boss would always act nonchalant.
It wasn't until now that Gu Qing Shan realized how shocking the truth was.
Boss seemed to have noticed something and continued: "The power of the projection is limited, I don't have enough time to tell you much, let me tell you about the past as soon as possible"
"On the day the Reality Gate opened, I was attacked by countless Apocalypses, a part of my body brought the Deities away and reestablished a sanctuary, which was the Inner Plane"
"My body turned into the Eternal Abyss that protected the Inner Plane, while I used the method of death to reignite life and become the King of the Myriad Deities"
"But Reneedol wasn't willing to accept that"
"Because a part of my body that contained even greater power was left behind in the Pantheon"
Boss pointed at the ground beneath their feet.
"The dark part of the 12 scales were the ruins of the Pantheon after it was destroyed"
"That part of my body was hidden within one of the scales"
Gu Qing Shan cut him off and asked: "Is Reneedol looking for your body?"
Boss replied: "Indeed, this part of my body contained a considerable amount of power. She was deeply afraid of the future and desired the power I had back then"
"Gu Qing Shan, you can't let her obtain my past body, otherwise, everything will be irreversible"
Boss sighed tiredly and said: "The current her is no longer the same as before"
Before he finished, Boss's figure disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan found herself back in the dark tunnel.
Everything was silent, as if nothing had happened at all.
A notification quickly appeared on the War God UI:
