Shroud stood at the center of the divine palace, his radiance growing more and more blinding.
He walked up to the ruined statue, knelt down on one knee, and chanted an incantation:
"Radiance Divine Artifact, I summon you in the name of the final ray of Radiance, if you are willing to follow me, then we still have hope"
"If you are unwilling, when the Law of Radiance is completely destroyed, I will proceed on my own"
After saying so, he silently waited.
A few moments later, nothing happened.
Shroud sighed and stood up: "Alright, then I'll have to go alone — –"
Before he finished speaking, the broken statues suddenly exploded, turning into specks of golden light that condensed into a golden book out of thin air.
"The Book of Prophesized Destinies!"
Shroud was still a young man, so he exclaimed in surprise.
The book flipped open, displaying lines of text in front of him.
Shroud quickly finished reading, hugged the book close to his chest, then told Gu Qing Shan: "We can leave now"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What about this divine palace?"
Shroud patted the book and replied: "It's fine, the origin of the Law of Radiance is contained within this book. This divine palace is now nothing but an empty shell, used to temporarily deceive those Law Behemoths"
He held Gu Qing Shan in one hand, opened the book with the other, and chanted: "Return to the mortal realm!"
The golden book gave off a cluster of light that enveloped the two of them.
Instantly, the two of them disappeared.
Inside the cave.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared.
"You're finally back" Epta's voice resounded.
Gu Qing Shan turned around, only to see Epta holding Scarlet in her arms, sitting next to Shroud.
Epta was quite careful as she had set up a small isolation barrier around her body, which could be used to stop simple prying and attacks.
Scarlet remained motionless in her arms.
"What happened!?"
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank and hurriedly asked.
"… Some people came, Scarlet killed them all" Epta replied.
"Did she run out of power? Or was she wounded? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"She drank too much" Epta replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Epta then told her what had happened.
Gu Qing Shan slowly understood.
How did things turn out like this?
If that was the case, then the one who caused the Law of Death to become addicted to alcohol was actually him?
At this point, Shroud slowly opened his eyes and struggled to speak: "Hurry, we need to leave!"
His injuries hadn't healed yet, so it was still difficult for him to move.
"Will those Law Behemoths chase after us?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Shroud quickly replied: "Indeed, they had originally intended to divide the Origin power of the Law of Radiance among themselves, but soon found that the Divine Palace's power had completely disappeared"
Gu Qing Shan sighed, "Not good."
Shroud replied: "It really isn't good, they will definitely come to this cave, so we need to flee right now!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Gu Qing Shan carried Shroud on her back, while Epta hurriedly carried Scarlet as well.
"Wait!" Shroud suddenly called out.
"What's wrong? We have to leave quickly. "Gu Qing Shan said.
"But why don't I see Reneedol and Atley?" Shroud asked in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Epta was also speechless.
Everyone knew that Shroud and Reneedol were a couple, they'd been together for so many years, and it was Shroud himself who saved Reneedol.
But just now, when the Overlord of Radiance was about to disappear, Shroud was trapped in the Divine Palace of Radiance, seemingly on the verge of death, but Reneedol had already left.
Atley had formed a covenant with the Law of Wind, and Reneedol had left with him.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit hesitant.
In theory, she should have told Shroud about Reneedol right away.
But Shroud's injuries hadn't fully healed yet, so suddenly hearing such news would most likely deal a heavy blow to him.
If it affects his body …
While Gu Qing Shan was hesitating, Scarlet slowly woke up and said with a drowsy expression: "The World Valley is completely done for! The most promising Shroud is also done for! Atley felt that we were burdens, so he took Reneedol and ran away. There's nothing we can do, there's really nothing we can do, we can only raise our glasses and — - burp — - "
Scarlet let out a small hiccup, then buried her head in Epta's chest and fell asleep again.
The air suddenly became silent.
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to continue: "Shroud, don't listen to Scarlet's nonsense. In truth, if we all stay together, we'll be too big of a target, so splitting up and running away is the correct choice"
Shroud took a deep breath and said: "Reneedol's plan is correct, if she follows us right now, it will only put everyone in more danger"
His voice was a bit cold.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't tell what he was feeling, only feeling that he seemed to be very distant from everyone else.
— — -but this can't be helped.
Anyone who runs into Reneedol would not end up well.
Shroud hesitated a bit, then struggled to raise his hand.
A golden book appeared in his hand.
The book opened.
A small, round pendant flew out and hovered in the air.
"Rhode, wear this pendant, it will allow its light to conceal our tracks" Shroud said.
Gu Qing Shan received the pendant and carefully observed it.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Radiant Divine Armament: Protection of Origin Power]
[The wearer of this pendant will obtain three types of power manifested from Origin Power of Light]
[Firstly, Origin Power of Light: The wearer of this pendant will increase the power of their spells by 30%]
[Secondly, Protection of Light: The wearer of this pendant will absorb half of the damage received by the light]
[Thirdly, Concealment of Light: The wearer of this pendant will gain a concealment range of 100 meters in radius. Within this range, you and your companions will not be tracked by any spells]
[Attention: The above three types of power can only be used during the day]
Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in surprise: "Sure enough, it's a good item!"
Shroud strenuously replied: "Right now, all the good items in the entire Divine Palace of Radiance are in my hands — — we need to find a suitable place to hide, we'll make further plans after I've recovered"
"You're right" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He released his inner sight to carefully observe Shroud's expression.
Shroud didn't seem to be sad, nor did he mention Reneedol again.
… wait a minute!
Could it be, Shroud has always been charmed by Reneedol, which is why he's been with her?
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
Or rather …
When Reneedol first appeared, she was in the water.
Could it be that she had already charmed Shroud at the time, which was why Shroud saved her?
Gu Qing Shan felt a chill in his heart.
If this kind of charm is something that no one can resist …
He left the cave, got his bearings, and quickly chose a narrow path.
It was currently just past noon, the time of day when the sun was the brightest.
Thanks to the power of the pendant, the four of them had completely vanished from this world.
…
At another location.
Reneedol was sitting inside a luxurious horse carriage.
Atley pulled open the curtain and cautiously asked: "Reneedol, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I just need to rest for a bit" Reneedol smiled.
Atley stared at her blankly, greedily staring at her peerless beauty.
Reneedol muttered: "Shroud won't be able to live for much longer, Atley, I'll have to rely on you from now on"
Atley immediately replied: "Don't worry, since I've already formed a covenant with the Law of Wind, I'll only grow stronger and stronger. I'll protect you, Reneedol"
Reneedol's smile became a bit warmer.
She leaned forward and stared at Atley: "Grow stronger and stronger … in this era, this isn't enough at all, Atley"
Atley asked: "Then what should I do? Should I become the strongest Combatant in this world? "
"… No, you must become the strongest person in history, no one in the past or future will be able to surpass you. This is your goal, Atley"
"Only by doing so will you be able to win my heart"
Atley was surprised.
He had only heard of people wanting to become the strongest person in the world, but he had never thought that Reneedol would reach such a level.
But since Reneedol had said so, that's what I'll do.
Atley reached his hand out, wanting to stroke Reneedol's face.
Reneedol lightly caught his hand and asked: "What I've asked, can you do it?"
"Reneedol … for you, I will do it" Atley replied.
"Hm" Reneedol nodded in satisfaction.
All of a sudden, the world around them disappeared.
The World of Laws abruptly manifested.
Boundless wind gathered to form a vortex, giving off a resounding voice:
「 Go, mortals who have formed a covenant with me, you must travel the mortal realm and find the newly born Overlord of Radiance! 」
「 He carries countless treasures on him, he is the enemy of all formations! 」
In the obscure world of laws, some dim light and shadows outlined a portrait.
Shroud.
Shroud's image appeared in the void of space.
「 Go, find him, kill him, take back all of his treasures and Origin Power — — 」
「 All Laws shall reward you for this! 」
The Law Behemoth of Wind roared in anger.
