Gu Qing Shan turned to Shroud.
Shroud was no longer breathing, his heartbeat was also becoming weaker and weaker.
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to carefully observe Shroud's situation.
— — -in truth, Shroud's injuries were already recovering, and there weren't any other wounds on his body.
Why is he dying?
Gu Qing Shan was confused.
"Epta, you're a healer, do you have any clues?" he asked.
"I don't" Epta's expression was full of despair: "He's clearly getting better, so why is his vitality getting weaker and weaker? I really don't know"
Gu Qing Shan tried releasing several healing hand seals, but none of them worked.
This time, he was truly confused.
"Death …"
Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: "Overlord of Death, do you know what's going on with this friend of mine?"
A line of black flames quickly manifested from the void of space:
[I can sense that a part of his soul is currently within the World of Laws, most likely within the Overlord of Radiance's palace]
[The Overlord of Radiance had already been extinguished, his palace had also been closed. You must go to the World of Laws and find out what happened in order to save him]
Gu Qing Shan immediately replied: "Alright, but I don't know how to get to the Overlord of Radiance's palace"
[I can take you there] the black flames wrote.
"Thank you very much"
Gu Qing Shan stood up and was about to leave when she recalled something.
Even if Shroud's situation was extremely dire, this matter had to be dealt with before it was too late.
"Epta, Scarlet, I'm going to the World of Laws to search for the other part of Shroud's soul, but once I leave, Shroud's body will be left here without any ability to resist" Gu Qing Shan said with a serious expression.
The two girls were surprised.
"Do you have a solution?" Scarlet asked.
"Yes, at least one of you needs to form a covenant with the Overlord of Death, that way, you'll be able to fight and protect Shroud" Gu Qing Shan said.
Epta hesitantly said: "But I've always only known healing techniques, I've never killed anyone, and the same goes for big sis Scarlet"
"Furthermore …"
She didn't continue.
But both Gu Qing Shan and Scarlet understood what she meant.
— — to form a covenant with the Overlord of Death, one must kill 30,000 living beings in a single day.
This was something that Epta and Scarlet couldn't do at all.
Their lives would be taken by the Overlord of Death.
This was courting death!
Gu Qing Shan agreed.
But now, I need to save Shroud's soul, so I can only rely on them.
Gu Qing Shan softened her voice and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just thirty thousand heads. I can actually help, it won't be a problem at all."
Epta was frightened by these words and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Scarlet appeared to be struggling, then suddenly asked: "Rhode, do you think someone will attack us?"
Gu Qing Shan sneered, "Of course, although Reneedol has left, our situation will not improve."
Scarlet paused briefly, then said: "I'll sign it"
Epta opened her eyes wide in shock: "Big sis Scarlet?"
Gu Qing Shan also turned to Scarlet.
Scarlet shook her head: "I used to desire to be a party leader, so I've been practicing the War Support Technique to lead an entire party in battle, but now, it seems our World Valley will no longer have any parties"
"I have to save you, as well as myself"
Following the summoning ritual that she had learned, she knelt down on one knee and muttered: "I, Scarlet, sincerely request the contractor of the world spirit, Rhode, to introduce me to the Overlord of Death"
Gu Qing Shan had a look of appreciation in his eyes.
Unafraid of death, decisive and decisive.
Such qualities aren't often seen.
He looked down at the girl.
The girl's appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, but there was a sense of heroism in her eyes, as if she wasn't afraid of any difficulties.
Gu Qing Shan then muttered: "Venerable Overlord of Death, I, Rhode, hereby introduce you to a new contractor. Are you willing to show your benevolence and form a covenant with this mortal, allowing her to borrow your power?"
A cluster of black flames appeared in the void of space:
"I allow it"
The black flames manifested out of nowhere, enveloped Scarlet, and directly took her away.
One breath's worth of time later.
Scarlet reappeared.
However, her expression was a bit strange.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"It's nothing!" Scarlet hurriedly replied.
"You've formed a covenant?"
"Yes"
"Very well, then I'll be going. If there's an enemy attack, you only need to hold them off for a bit, I'll immediately return"
After saying so, Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist.
An invisible power began to surge from his body.
— — [Blessing of the Past Worlds]!
Instantly, he left the cave and entered the World of Laws.
Scarlet stood still, her expression fluctuating.
"Big sis Scarlet, are you ok?" Epta asked in concern.
"I'm fine … Epta, I remember that during your birthday, you once prepared a bit of liquor for the Elders …" Scarlet replied.
"Ah, I did" Epta replied.
"Do you still have any?" Scarlet asked.
"Yes, the Elders didn't drink much at the time, there were still 7-8 bottles left" Epta replied.
"Give it to me, I have use for it"
"Alright, I won't drink it anyways"
Scarlet accepted the liquor, took out one of the bottles, and held it in the air.
The bottle disappeared in an instant.
"Huh? What's going on? "Epta was surprised.
Scarlet answered without changing her expression: "To provide for the Overlord"
She opened another bottle of wine and took a sip herself.
"Big sis, when did you learn to drink?" Epta was still surprised.
"This was the Overlord's idea … he designated liquor as a catalyst that would allow the contractor to better harmonize with the Law of Death, allowing them to utilize its power beyond their expectations" Scarlet replied.
Scarlet drank one mouthful, then another.
As I drank this liquor … I feel like my power of Death has grown a bit stronger …
Seems like it's true.
The Overlord of Death wanted someone to drink with him.
Drinking alcohol can, to a certain extent, resonate with the Law of Death.
This is truly — — -
Unimaginable.
At this point, a commotion could be heard from outside the cave.
"Seems like it's this cave"
"That's right, we're going to kill the brats inside"
"Let's go"
Someone was talking.
Scarlet's gaze became sharp.
Sure enough, as Rhode expected, someone really did come looking for them.
Who was it that leaked our whereabouts?
Rhode wouldn't, he's currently saving Shroud.
— — was it Reneedol? Or Atley?
Why would they do this to us?
Scarlet felt anger rising in her heart.
Several Professionists were already standing at the entrance of the cave.
"Aha, sure enough, it's just a few brats" one of the Professionists smiled.
When the other Professionists saw that there were only two girls and a boy lying on the ground, they calmed down.
"Heh heh, I really can't bear to kill these two little girls right away" someone laughed.
Epta was so scared that she retreated and hid behind Scarlet.
Scarlet didn't say anything else, simply raised the bottle and drank the entire bottle in one go.
Clang!
She threw the bottle to the ground.
"Death is a sweet dream, once you fall into it, you will never be able to wake up"
Scarlet chanted an incantation, then manifested a cluster of black flames in her hand.
"Embrace Death!"
Endless black flames surged forward like a tidal wave towards the entrance of the cave.
Hoh — —
The Professionists had nowhere to dodge and were instantly burned to ashes by the black flames.
Scarlet didn't stop there, so she tapped the void of space with both hands and chanted: "I can sense your existence, come, slumbering Guardian of Death"
The void of space opened.
A cluster of black flames turned into a bird that lightly landed in front of Scarlet.
Flying Bird observed Scarlet and said: "I am the servant of the Overlord of Death — — I really must say, your talent in Death isn't any weaker than Rhode's"
Scarlet's face was flushed red as she opened another bottle of liquor: "I can be even stronger"
"Stop, you're really going to get drunk if you keep drinking" Flying Bird hurriedly said.
…
Gu Qing Shan was flying through the chaotic world.
His body was covered in black flames, this was the power of the Law of Death that was guiding him forward.
Following Gu Qing Shan's flight, the blurry scenery abruptly disappeared.
A grand and majestic palace appeared in her vision.
It gave off an endless white light, making it look extremely solemn.
Gu Qing Shan flew into the palace.
Only to see that everything in the palace had been destroyed, the statues were also broken and scattered all over the ground.
A single person was sitting at the center of the palace.
Shroud.
He was staring at the statues blankly.
"Shroud! What's the matter? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Shroud replied: "I'm fine, I just haven't thought through something"
"What is it? If you don't return now, your body will die, hurry and come with me! "Gu Qing Shan said.
Shroud shook his head and sorrowfully said: "I don't understand. The Law of Radiance illuminates all things and causes all Laws to grow, so why was it surrounded by so many Laws and destroyed in the end?"
He turned around and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Rhode, the Laws are attempting to absorb power from Radiance and divide the entire Law of Radiance"
"It was clearly the Law of Radiance that helped them grow stronger, but they plotted against the Overlord of Radiance instead"
"Listen — –"
Shroud tapped the void of space with his hand.
Various voices resounded from all around the palace.
"The Age of Radiance has passed, but there is still a final soul left in its divine palace"
"Destroy him, I'll break down the power of the Law of Radiance"
"No, you're too weak, the power of Radiance will make you explode, let me do it"
"Be careful, no one will be able to endure that power"
"Indeed, don't be greedy when breaking it down, take as much as you can according to your own abilities"
"Hurry, put in more effort"
These were clearly the voices of the Law Behemoths.
Gu Qing Shan silently listened for a while.
Shroud's expression was full of sorrow, the light around his body was becoming dimmer and dimmer.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "Let's return first"
"You don't understand, I am the final soul of the Law of Radiance. Once I leave, this divine palace created purely from the Law of Radiance will be divided among the other Laws" Shroud replied.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "So you're just going to cry here?"
Shroud paused.
"They all believe that the Law of Radiance is a matter of the past, what do you think I should do?" he asked.
"Don't worry about what they think, and don't worry about what I think, but do you think you should take revenge?" Gu Qing Shan asked him in return.
Shroud froze.
"Don't worry about what others think" Gu Qing Shan sincerely told him: "You are the final host of the Law of Radiance, what do you think you should do? Should you allow your Radiance to be destroyed forever, or should you act like a man, stand up and do something? "
Shroud fell silent.
A few moments later, he muttered: "If there were no other Radiance in this world, I would be the only Radiance"
The light around his body abruptly erupted, gradually filling the entire divine palace.
