Scarlet had already fallen asleep.
She was sleeping very soundly, hugging the black flames scythe without letting go no matter how hard she tried.
Epta carried her on her back and went to rest behind a large tree.
"Can she really fight like this?" Atley was a bit doubtful.
Gu Qing Shan smirked.
He was thinking about Anna, so he was in a good mood.
During one of their drinking competitions, Anna managed to get Jang Young-ho, Ye Fei Li, and Liao Xing all drunk, only Gu Qing Shan managed to win against her thanks to her cultivator constitution.
"It's fine, once her alcohol tolerance improves, she'll only become stronger and stronger" he said.
"I don't think so …"
Atley mumbled and went back to his cultivation.
Only Gu Qing Shan was left standing there by himself.
He released his inner sight and saw that Reneedol was heading back, but Shroud was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Shroud must have gone to the Overlord of Radiance's divine palace.
Reneedol wouldn't kill Shroud right now, instead, she would ensure Shroud's safety. After all, Shroud was going to retrieve the most precious treasures of the World of Laws.
Reneedol must have told Shroud something.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, feeling a bit nervous.
Once Shroud retrieves the Overlord of Radiance's treasures, all the Law Behemoths would hunt Shroud down.
Other than that, there was also Reneedol.
She came from the Pantheon, who knows what she's planning.
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan's gaze focused.
Reneedol had entered the forest and was heading towards him.
She seems a bit different …
A few moments later, Reneedol appeared in front of him.
"Rhode, where are the others?" Reneedol asked.
"Scarlet drank too much, Epta is taking care of her, Atley went to think of a way to break through" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Reneedol nodded.
This was similar to the previous situation, although they weren't being hunted down, they were still following the same path of growth.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell on the top of Reneedol's head, revealing a surprised expression.
— — above Reneedol's head, a speck of starlight could be seen.
Reneedol noticed his gaze and said faintly, "This is my new ability. I'm slowly exploring it."
"I see."
Gu Qing Shan pretended to be enlightened, but in her heart, she became even more vigilant.
In the future, countless deities would kneel before Reneedol's throne, and a vast galaxy would be born, evolved, and destroyed behind her.
In the past, the four Gods once said that Reneedol's title was the Jade of Infinite Worlds, the Master of the Star River, the Blessed Maiden of the Inner Plane, and the Grand Empress of the Pantheon.
And now, in this foggy history, Reneedol condensed the first starlight.
Was it worth it for him to ask the reason?
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a split second, then suddenly asked:
"Reneedol, what is the origin of your starlight?"
— — -see you again, activate!
Everyone had already tasted his noodle soup, and now it was finally time to reap the harvest.
Reneedol fell into a daze.
She seemed to be recalling something and muttered as if she was sleep-talking: "The Law Behemoth of Wind was wandering nearby, trying to find a mortal who could form a covenant with it, so I ate it and condensed this starlight"
Gu Qing Shan trembled as waves of shock surged in her heart.
The previous Reneedol only wanted to eat powerful Professionists.
But this Reneedol was completely different.
She directly ate the Law Behemoth!
That was a living being manifested from the world spirit and Origin power, a wielder of the Laws!
Even such an entity couldn't reach Reneedol's devouring ability?
Gu Qing Shan controlled her breathing and heartbeat to avoid being noticed by Reneedol.
A split second later.
Reneedol returned to normal.
She appeared to be oblivious to what she just said and calmly told him: "Rhode, I'm going to rest for a bit. Keep an eye on your surroundings, call me if anything happens"
"Should I call you if Shroud returns?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Call me as soon as possible"
"Alright"
Reneedol walked past Gu Qing Shan and prepared to head deeper into the forest.
She suddenly stopped and looked at him.
"Rhode, all Laws are afraid of two types of Laws, the Law of Radiance and the Law of Death. Not only are these two Laws powerful, but also because Radiance can fuse with all other Laws, while Death will destroy any other Law if it fuses with them"
Gu Qing Shan appeared confused and asked: "Why are you telling me this?"
Reneedol spoke with a meaningful expression: "Shroud's talents are destined to grow stronger and stronger, so you must properly cultivate the power of Death to be able to stand by Shroud's side"
After saying so, she turned around and headed deeper into the forest to find a place to rest.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze slowly turned grim.
A monster that can devour an Overlord is staying by Shroud's side and mine.
When I fought against Reneedol, the Fate-type ability [Longing] sensed my inevitable death.
Now that I think about it, that feeling was correct.
Who would be able to stop such a terrifying devouring power?
If what Reneedol said just now was true, then — — -
She didn't devour Rhode, who has the power of Death, because the power of Death would destroy other Laws.
Why didn't she devour Shroud?
… Most likely because the Overlord of Radiance is already dead, Shroud still hasn't matured, isn't powerful enough, and isn't the most powerful entity.
If one day, Shroud truly becomes the Overlord of Radiance …
Gu Qing Shan didn't think about it any further, but suddenly understood something else.
The first speck of starlight on Reneedol's body represented the Law of Wind that was devoured.
In the future, countless specks of starlight would revolve around her, giving her the title of [Lord of the Star River].
In other words — —
She had devoured almost all of the Laws!
Gu Qing Shan's hand twitched.
His slender fingers slightly opened, as if he wanted to grasp something.
At the same time, the four swords were hidden in the void of space, silently waiting for his choice.
They were ready to fight at any moment!
But Gu Qing Shan's hand stopped.
He hesitated.
— — should I just kill her?
I don't need to fight her head on, I need to assassinate her.
As a sword cultivator, the most terrifying fighting prowess isn't during normal times, but rather in two situations.
The first situation is to charge into battle while fully armored.
The other situation is to ignore everything else and assassinate her.
The first time was when I killed Reneedol as Red Wraith.
This time, I had to use a lot of methods to make her not suspect Rhode.
This way, no matter how powerful she is, as long as she stands close to me, I'll be able to cut off her head before she can even react.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath.
— — -but if I kill this Reneedol, another Reneedol would appear.
The next Reneedol would inherit the former's memories, so she would definitely know that Rhode was Red Wraith.
She wouldn't let me get close to her again, instead using her Fate ability as soon as she sees me.
I won't be able to stop a Fate ability.
Tch …
There's no point in killing her, but if I don't kill her, she'll only become more and more powerful in the future.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
After a while, he slowly lowered his hand.
— — kill this one, and the next.
If I don't kill her, I'll at least know quite a bit about this Reneedol.
Her personality, her abilities, and her schemes.
If it was another Reneedol, she would definitely want to kill Rhode as soon as possible.
And that would be a completely unfamiliar Reneedol, so she wouldn't let Rhode know anything about her.
That would be even more troublesome.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, then decided not to kill her.
Reneedol had already considered me to be a young man, so she slowly let her guard down.
This is very important.
It's best that I find out everything about her before making a decision.
While I was thinking, Atley ran out from the forest.
"Rhode, take a look for me" he said.
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Atley put his hand forward.
A green light drifted around his arm, then converged in his palm to form a long blade of wind.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "Congratulations, you've finally formed a covenant with the Law of Wind"
Atley was confused: "I didn't"
"What didn't I?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I … didn't form a covenant with the Law Behemoth of Wind, but I can use the power of the Law of Wind" Atley fearfully said.
All of a sudden, a blinding flash of light appeared.
Shroud appeared in front of the two of them.
He was holding a golden book in his hand and chanted an incantation.
The golden book automatically flipped open to reveal a small, circular pendant.
— — -this was the Pendant of Radiance that he took out last time, capable of blocking all tracking techniques.
Shroud wore the pendant around his neck and told the two of them: "We need to hurry, all the Overlords are looking for me!"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze flickered a bit.
Sure enough, the days of running for their lives had officially begun!
At some unknown point, Reneedol had appeared.
"No need to worry" she calmly said, "Your destination is this forest, as long as we leave this place, no one will be able to find us"
"Atley, call Epta and Scarlet, we're leaving!"
Atley hurriedly dispelled the power of Wind in his hand and called Epta.
Shroud suddenly called out: "Oh no! Atley can now use the power of the Law of Wind, the Law Behemoth of Wind will most likely be able to find us through his location "
Reneedol's gaze flickered a bit and muttered: "They won't, don't worry"
Shroud froze.
Gu Qing Shan was confused: "It's strange, he didn't form a covenant, but he can now use the power of the Law of Wind"
Reneedol replied: "That's not strange, the Overlord of Radiance is already dead, but Shroud can still use the power of the Law of Radiance"
Shroud was surprised: "You mean, Atley has the potential to become an Overlord just like me?"
"Yes" Reneedol replied.
Shroud sighed in relief.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Reneedol, more and more confused as to what she was thinking.
— — seems like I'll have to cook a few more meals to find out her true goal.
While thinking, the group quickly made their preparations.
They randomly chose a direction and quickly left the forest.
