Everything went very smoothly.
Not too long after, Gu Qing Shan once again appeared in the forest.
"Did you succeed?" Shroud asked.
Gu Qing Shan opened his palm.
A cluster of black flames silently burned in his hand.
"Whoa!"
Epta and Scarlet both exclaimed.
"How strong is this Overlord?" Atley excitedly asked.
Shroud replied: "He's the same as the Overlord of Radiance, the strongest of them all"
He also raised his hand and unleashed a blinding light.
But a split second later, the light in his hand began to dim.
"Huh?"
Shroud exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank. Reneedol's expression warped.
What's bound to come has come.
The Overlord of Radiance was surrounded and killed by almost all the Law Behemoths.
He was the strongest Overlord, but he was still outnumbered.
Mortals couldn't interfere in this matter, nor could they do anything about it.
No one could go against so many Overlords in the World of Laws.
But after the Overlord of Radiance's death, the treasures he left behind were all within the Divine Hall of Radiance.
— — -these treasures had fallen into Shroud's hands!
Reneedol suddenly spoke up: "Very well, Rhode has succeeded — — I have something to tell everyone"
Her tone was very serious. Everyone couldn't help but turn to her.
"Everyone, listen to me. When the Fate ability was evolving, I saw a fragment of the future"
"In the future, we will have to face many powerful and terrifying enemies. If we want to survive, we must prepare for battle from now on"
The young people appeared to be in disbelief.
They looked at the light in Shroud's hand, only to see it growing dimmer and dimmer before finally going out.
"Reneedol, is what you said true?" Shroud asked.
"It's true, so everyone must now make arrangements according to what I saw" Reneedol replied.
Her tone was calm and quick, giving off the presence of a superior.
"Rhode, Scarlet also has the talent of the Law of Death, help introduce her and guide her"
Gu Qing Shan was slightly stunned, but she still nodded.
Reneedol then looked at Atley and said: "Rhode has already done it — — Atley, hurry up and cultivate, perhaps you'll be able to form a covenant with the Overlord"
Attlee looked at the flames on Rhode's hand enviously and asked: "Did you see that I succeeded?"
"If you don't work hard, you will never succeed," Reneedol said coldly.
Atley begrudgingly sat down in front of a tree and began to cultivate.
Reneedol turned around and continued to make arrangements.
"Epta, I'll teach you later — — Shroud, come with me first, I'll tell you about the Overlord of Radiance"
She led Shroud out of the jungle.
"Rhode, do you think Reneedol is right?" Scarlet asked.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a second.
What was Reneedol thinking when she had already set up a countermeasure?
Shroud was the last person to form a covenant with the Overlord of Radiance.
… Very soon, he would head to the Divine Church of Radiance and obtain the Overlord of Radiance's treasures.
All the Law Behemoths would know about this, they would begin to madly search for him in order to steal the treasures.
Because of that, Reneedol was actually doing the right thing.
Gu Qing Shan retracted her gaze and looked at Scarlet.
This girl is indeed suitable for the Law of Death.
Then …
"Scarlet, are you willing to give up your support skills and become the representative of Death?" he asked.
Scarlet was a bit surprised, her gaze a bit complicated.
"I once wanted to be the leader of a group, but now it seems that I'm too weak …"
"That's right, there aren't too many companions for you to support right now, so you need to become stronger by yourself" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"I heard that the Overlord of Death is an entity that controls Death, will it allow me to kill people?" Scarlet asked.
Gu Qing Shan purposefully replied: "It's very possible, after all, the Law of Death grants us power, so we need to repay it with the deaths of living beings"
Scarlet's gaze was a bit fearful, but it quickly turned into determination.
"Of course I'm willing to form a covenant with the Overlord of Death, this is my chance to survive, as well as the source of my power to protect everyone" she muttered.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
As a young girl, although she was afraid of the Law of Death, both the last time and this time, she was still able to take this step forward.
She truly is a talent worth nurturing.
This Scarlet was probably Anna's senior from who knows how many generations ago, so there's still a bit of kinship between them.
It would be better to think of a way to properly nurture her and turn her into a true warrior. This way, this young girl would be able to help quite a bit during this obscure period of history.
Having made up her mind, Gu Qing Shan took out a bottle of liquor and put it in front of Scarlet.
"Very well, then let us begin" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What are you doing?" Scarlet asked in surprise.
Gu Qing Shan cleared her throat, then whispered: "When I introduce you later, give this bottle of liquor to the Overlord"
"Giving me liquor … will help?" Scarlet was in disbelief.
"That's right, trust me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He stuffed the bottle into Scarlet's hand, then muttered with a solemn expression: "Venerable Overlord of Death, I, Rhode, hereby introduce you to a new covenant candidate. 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 manifested in the void of space:
"I'll 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.
Her expression was very complicated.
"It's done?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, I didn't think it would be so easy" Scarlet replied.
"It wasn't easy"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan took out another bottle of liquor and put it in front of Scarlet.
"What is it?" Scarlet asked.
"It's time for you to train your alcohol tolerance" Gu Qing Shan solemnly told her.
He explained: "The better one's alcohol tolerance is, the closer one is to the Law of Death, the more power one will obtain"
Scarlet's clear eyes opened wide, looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at the bottle of liquor, then pinched herself.
"Isn't liquor a beverage that the Elders drink during celebrations? How could there be such power? "Scarlet asked.
"About that, the reason is a bit complicated. You can think of it as alcohol being the essence of food, the more you drink, the more power you'll obtain, let me show you — —"
He opened the bottle and gulped it down in one gulp.
"Grant me the power of Death" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Hoh — —
The black flames around him boiled, then manifested into a long-handled scythe.
Gu Qing Shan held the scythe horizontally in front of Scarlet.
"Can you sense its power?" he asked.
"I can, this scythe is really cool, and it's also very powerful" Scarlet's eyes were glued to the scythe made of black flames, unable to move away.
"Give it a try" Gu Qing Shan said.
Scarlet reached her hand out to grab the scythe.
Suddenly, her hand was bounced away by some sort of power.
"It rejected me" Scarlet said, a bit disappointed.
Gu Qing Shan patiently explained: "This is because your affinity with the Overlord isn't high enough. You need the Overlord to feel that you and it are the same kind, the same kind of existence, a companion worthy of protection. That's why you need a medium to quickly pull your relationship with the Overlord closer"
"What should I do?" Scarlet asked.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and took out another bottle of liquor, opened it, and put it in front of Scarlet.
This time, Scarlet understood everything.
"Drinking this kind of beverage …"
She clenched her teeth, took the bottle with both hands, tilted her head back, and gulped it down.
Clang!
The liquor was finished, and the bottle was tossed to the ground.
Scarlet reached her hand out to grab the long-handled scythe.
She caught it.
At the same time, the black flames behind her became more intense.
"So that's why, my power is skyrocketing …"
Scarlet's eyes glowed brighter and brighter, then suddenly turned to Gu Qing Shan.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Give me another bottle!" Scarlet replied.
"… Let's just do it step by step" Gu Qing Shan cautiously said.
"Why would I stop on the path of pursuing power?" Scarlet asked in confusion.
As soon as she said that, her expression changed, she staggered back a few steps and leaned on a tree: "Rhode! What did you put in the liquor? "
Gu Qing Shan froze, then replied: "I didn't put anything in it"
Scarlet couldn't help herself anymore and collapsed to the ground.
She pointed a finger at Rhode.
Epta and Atley both ran over as they heard the commotion.
"What's going on? Rhode, what did you do to Scarlet? "Atley asked in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan helplessly replied: "I really didn't do anything"
"But I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now, there must be something wrong with your liquor" Scarlet breathed heavily.
Epta didn't say anything and checked Scarlet's body.
"What's wrong with me?" Scarlet asked.
Epta looked at her with a complicated gaze and whispered into her ear: "You drank too much"
