Gu Qing Shan lightly swung her sword, causing the corpse to roll to the ground.
This was an unfamiliar corpse with a head full of white hair, its body was curled up into a ball, its body was cold and hard, clearly dead for a very long time.
An old man.
Reneedol couldn't stop the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, so she left this old man's corpse behind to take the attack for her.
— — why did she store a corpse?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled the giant featureless face that appeared behind Reneedol during the battle just now.
Perhaps … it's related to that terrifying featureless face.
Combined with what Reneedol said before, this thing came from the mutated Wings of Fate.
When I helped Little Xi take back one of the wings of Fate, I didn't think something would happen during the process.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze turned grim.
Reneedol was affected by [See you once again], so it shouldn't be a lie.
Not to mention — —
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled that Little Dusk chose the wing that allowed her to become stronger.
But countless years later, Little Xi was able to turn Gu Qing Shan into a Card.
What did she say at the time?
Gu Qing Shan carefully recalled and remembered what happened at the time.
"From today onwards, you will be my only companion" Little Xi said at the time.
Companion — —
Companion.
This is clearly the power of the other wing!
Gu Qing Shan was silently shocked.
Of the Wings of Fate, one wing helps oneself become stronger, while the other seeks the strongest companion.
When the wings were torn apart, Little Xi clearly chose to become stronger!
If Little Xi also obtained a 'companion' ability, then what about Reneedol?
What ability did she obtain?
— — -it should be that giant featureless face.
That makes sense.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Reneedol must've gone North.
She'll be looking for the faint Mara Heavenly King.
But it won't be easy to kill her right now.
Even though I have the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, I still felt an indescribable sense of unease when facing the giant face.
Even Reneedol herself was afraid of this skill and did not dare to use it carelessly.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "Luo Bingli, go and protect Shroud's group for now, I'll take a look at this corpse and return immediately"
"Okay," Luo Bingli answered.
The Heavenly sword flew up into the sky and broke through the void.
Gu Qing Shan squatted down in front of the old man's body and searched it carefully.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qing Shan found two crystal stones in his pocket.
"Memory crystal?"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
This was something used by the World Valley to record images, so he didn't expect this old man to have one on him.
Reneedol didn't check the old man's body carefully?
She was still a young girl. Perhaps she hated corpses?
All of a sudden, Boss's voice came:
"This was the World Valley's guardian Elder, as well as the strongest one among the Elders"
"Are you sure?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm sure, he rarely appeared, but he did meet with Reneedol and I — — - who would've thought that he would die at Reneedol's hands" Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly, then said: "Perhaps Reneedol felt that he was the strongest, so she killed him"
"Let's take a look at what's recorded in the crystal" Boss couldn't wait any longer.
Gu Qing Shan picked up one of the crystals and pressed it with her hand.
The crystal glowed.
A series of images appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
Reneedol appeared on the screen.
She was cultivating, running, playing, and laughing together with Boss's group, completely unaware that she was being recorded.
An old voice resounded:
"Reneedol is too beautiful, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life. She made me feel young once again, awakening my slumbering heart"
The rest of the images were of Reneedol's life.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head, put this crystal down, and picked up another.
Another scene appeared.
Nighttime.
On the banks of the River of Fate.
Reneedol was facing the image and softly asked: "Grand Elder, why did you summon me so late at night?"
A few moments later.
The old voice resounded: "Reneedol, you are a gift from the heavens, a woman of Heaven's Will, the most beautiful flower in this world. I couldn't help myself, I wanted to obtain you"
Reneedol's expression was calm, then she suddenly smiled: "Grand Elder, I'm guessing that no one has discovered our whereabouts right now"
"Indeed, they're all asleep, and they'll be sleeping soundly tonight" the old voice replied.
Reneedol's voice softened and asked: "Then what do you want to do to me?"
The old voice fell silent, then spoke in confusion: "I don't know why I'm doing this either, but since it's come to this, then — — -"
Reneedol cut him off and continued: "Let me see your strength"
A dark, faceless humanoid face appeared behind her.
The Grand Elder chuckled: "Naive girl, perhaps you don't understand, but I am the one standing at the peak of this world, your little tricks are useless against me"
Reneedol didn't seem to notice and muttered: "It's very hard to control, very hard"
"Normally, I wouldn't dare to let it out, but now that you've made all the necessary preparations, let me take a look as well"
The dark, faceless humanoid face slowly opened its mouth.
"Eat him" Reneedol excitedly said.
The image flashed.
The Grand Elder suddenly exclaimed in fear: "Wait a minute, what is this? Why — — - "
Instantly, the image spun and disappeared.
The crystal went dim.
The only thing Gu Qing Shan heard was a short scream of pain.
He froze in place for a while.
— — -that was the era before the infighting of the Law Behemoths.
The strongest Combatant of the World Valley died just like that, at the hands of a young girl.
My instincts were right, that thing is truly hard to deal with.
This has nothing to do with strength!
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Boss also sighed, then spoke a bit more quickly: "I can't stay here for too long, so I can only take this short amount of time to tell you something"
"What is it?"
"When I became the Lord of Infinite Origins, when I looked back at the past, I felt that this part of my memory was a bit blurry, as if I had forgotten a few things" Boss explained.
"What does that mean?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss's voice became solemn as he spoke in a low voice: "It means that the things that happened to me during this period of time have been covered up by something"
"That's impossible" Gu Qing Shan denied it without any hesitation, "You used to be the Lord of Infinite Origins, I can't think of anyone who could cover up this part of history"
Boss continued: "I also hope that there were only some minor misunderstandings — — for example, because you haven't returned from the future, so even though some things have already been decided, the process isn't certain — — I'm feeling a bit uneasy"
"What are you afraid of?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm afraid that someone has done something to me" Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
Boss continued: "In history, at midnight today — — which is right now, the Laws will slowly return to normal, and the Law Behemoths will once again respond to the call of living beings"
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "Because of that, you will soon be healed — — you will still be the one with the highest chance of becoming the strongest person in the world"
"Indeed, Reneedol will soon return to my side, but my memories of this period are completely hazy"
"Oh no!"
Gu Qing Shan shouted, then continued: "I'm going to watch over you right now"
He was about to leave.
Boss smiled and continued: "Gu Qing Shan, you will have to experience the next few days with me and help me see what exactly is going on in this memory"
"I'll hide the third Sealing Token on the last day of this period"
"The rest will depend on you"
His voice faded away.
Gu Qing Shan took to the sky and flew towards where Shroud's group was.
Invisible ripples began to spread between heaven and earth.
The power of the Laws was quickly recovering.
At another location.
Reneedol had also noticed the unusual movements of the Laws.
She stopped on a northward path, tilted her head in thought for a bit, then slowly turned around.
"The Laws are recovering … seems like something unusual has happened"
She turned towards Shroud's direction.
Should I go see the strongest swordsman in the world, or should I return to where I came from and return to Shroud's side?
Reneedol didn't hesitate for too long.
"I wonder if he was killed by the people I sent, if … he's still alive …"
"— — he will definitely become the strongest"
After receiving this answer, Reneedol immediately turned around and flew towards Shroud's direction.
