Kill all the gods.
As soon as this thought appeared, Gu Qing Shan completely relaxed.
Since he had decided to do this, there was no need to consider other strategies. He only needed to continue thinking about this point.
Of course, there were still many problems.
For example, what kind of organization was the Pantheon?
Why did he want to come into being at the end of the world?
Who was inside Reneedol's body?
How could he kill her so that the Three Great Laws wouldn't repeat themselves?
Gu Qing Shan put down the bottle and leaned against a tree to rest.
Problems were just problems. They could be solved step by step.
It was time to start gathering information.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell on the line of glowing text in the air.
"Two minutes and one second left. The apocalypse is coming!"
Doomsday is coming.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly communicated telepathically with Shroud:
"Shroud, don't look at me, I'll quietly ask you, are you currently the Lord of Radiance?"
Sure enough, Shroud didn't look over and simply replied: "You could say that, but my abilities are very limited, I can't do much"
"As an Overlord, can you sign a contract with mortals?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I can, but I'm still very weak right now, I don't know who would be willing to form a covenant with me" Shroud smiled bitterly.
"It's because you're still weak that you need someone to help you. I think Epta is a good candidate," Gu Qing Shan said.
"Epta?" Shroud asked.
"Yes, Radiance and healing are also deeply connected. If she signs a contract with you, she will be able to increase the effects of her healing skills. If we were to encounter a battle, she will be a form of insurance for us."
Gu Qing Shan continued, "Besides, the Overlord of Radiance only had you as his contractor in the past. Now that you've become the Overlord of Radiance, if you can get all the experts in the world to sign a contract with you …"
Gu Qing Shan didn't continue.
Shroud pondered: "It's worth a try"
"Yes, but if someone asks, don't tell them it was my suggestion" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Why?"
"Because it would make it seem like I'm paying special attention to Epta, which would cause misunderstandings."
"Oh, that's true. Now I think you like her a little — well, I'll say it was my own idea."
Gu Qing Shan didn't continue.
There was less than a minute left.
He walked behind a large tree and found Scarlet.
Scarlet was crouching on the ground, wiping her tears.
Gu Qing Shan squatted in front of her and said with a smile, "Why? Scared by Atlee's words? "
Scarlet shook her head.
"Then why are you crying?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"I'm now the messenger of the Law of Death in the mortal realm, I'm afraid that one day I'll accidentally kill those innocent people —"
Scarlet replied dejectedly: "Their families would definitely be in great pain, and I would also blame myself for this"
Gu Qing Shan was startled, and her eyes gradually became gentle.
"Scarlet"
"Hmm?"
"When it's time to kill someone, follow me and kill them, it won't go wrong" Gu Qing Shan said.
"You promise?" Scarlet doubtfully asked.
"I promise" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"But what right do you have to decide who should die?" Scarlet stared straight into his eyes and asked.
"I naturally don't have the right to decide anyone's life or death, but I have a lot of experience, so I can tell who's human and who's a Ghost in human skin" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"So you're going to kill Ghosts?" Scarlet asked.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan didn't avoid Scarlet's gaze and looked straight into her eyes: "When I act, the Ghost will die, you can follow me and kill them together"
"Does that mean we're both worshiping the Overlord of Death?"
"It does"
Scarlet tilted her head in thought, then said: "Alright, I'll follow you from now on"
That sounded a bit ambiguous, so she added with a flushed face:
"Kill them together"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[Three]
[Two]
[One]
[The Apocalypse has arrived]
[Please prepare yourselves]
At the same time, the entire world noticed.
Mountains, grasslands, deserts, wilderness, cities, villages, countries, even the World of Laws, the insects, birds, beasts, humans, even the various sentient lifeforms, as well as the Law Behemoths all noticed the phenomenon in the sky.
"What's that?" Shroud loudly called out.
The sky abruptly turned dark as countless stars manifested in the sky.
These stars gave off a blinding cold light.
Soon after, dark blue lines appeared and connected the tens of thousands of stars, forming a boundless net.
A blank, emotionless voice resounded in everyone's mind:
[Everyone, the legendary game has finally been smuggled in and has arrived in front of you]
[Welcome to the Apocalypse: Siming!]
[To celebrate the advent of the Apocalypse, the first round of the game will now begin]
[Starting from a certain person, each of you must describe the connection between yourself and all things or living beings, which will be verified by the game]
[The first round is about to begin, you will need to prove that you have at least two connections with each other, no duplicates]
[Those who can do it, congratulations on winning the right to prolong your feeble existence]
[If someone can't even prove three connections …]
[Then they will be finished!]
[The game — –]
[Begin!]
Starlight erupted, shining as bright as day, illuminating all living beings and all things.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Following that, everyone felt a sense of fear that originated from the depths of their souls.
This fear had even surpassed the fear of death, suffocating everyone and instinctively trying to grasp onto any chance of survival.
And so.
Those with quick reflexes quickly recalled what the voice had said before.
For example, Gu Qing Shan — — -
After all, he had seen many Apocalypses, so he immediately said: "Be it now or in the future, Shroud and I will always be good brothers!"
A dark blue string manifested out of nowhere, connecting him and Shroud.
"Hurry!" Gu Qing Shan urged him.
Shroud immediately said: "I'm a disciple of the same generation as Scarlet"
A blue string manifested, connecting him and Scarlet.
Scarlet had already noticed this and said: "I'm also a disciple of the same generation as Epta"
The two of them were connected by the string.
Epta looked at the three of them, so she naturally understood.
She hurriedly turned around and told Atley: "I'm also a disciple of the same generation as Atley"
A few moments later.
The blue string didn't manifest.
The connection couldn't be established!
Shroud exclaimed in shock: "Impossible! Why is that!? "
Atley's expression also changed greatly.
He looked at Shroud, then at Gu Qing Shan, then at Scarlet with an expression of despair.
Suddenly, he loudly declared: "I'm friends with Rhode"
The blue string still didn't manifest.
A split second later, their surroundings abruptly turned dark.
All of a sudden, two red figures appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Epta and Atley.
Epta froze, but before she could say a single word, her entire body had already melted into the red light.
Atley abruptly unleashed boundless blue light and angrily shouted: "No! I'm the controller of wind, I'm the Deity of Wind, how could I be — — - "
The red light became increasingly thick, almost like blood.
Atley's flesh and blood melted into the light, followed by his skeleton — — -
Even though he was only a skeleton, he was still madly struggling to resist this red light.
But it was useless.
One breath's worth of time later.
Both his body and soul no longer existed.
Gu Qing Shan, Shroud, and Scarlet were all stunned.
A cold and emotionless voice resounded in their ears:
[Two living beings have been terminated]
[The game shall continue]
[Please complete the second connection within 10 seconds, otherwise, you will be terminated]
Gu Qing Shan abruptly slapped her own face to force herself to calm down.
Atley had already changed his soul, so he naturally wasn't satisfied with Epta's connection.
That's why both of them died!
Gu Qing Shan quickly explained: "The Law of Death that I wield and the Law of Radiance that Shroud wields both belong to the most unique category, we are Professionists of the same level"
The second blue string manifested, connecting him to Shroud.
Shroud turned to Scarlet, then thought of something and loudly declared: "The Law of Radiance that I wield and the Law of Death that Scarlet wields both belong to the most unique category, we are Professionists of the same level"
The second blue string manifested, connecting him to Scarlet.
The cold voice resounded again:
[The game is over]
[You've completed the simplest introductory challenge]
"Please continue to live."
[You may live for another 12 hours]
After saying so, the voice disappeared.
Only the three of them remained in the wilderness.
A few moments later.
Scarlet fell to the ground, silently crying.
"Epta …"
She called out.
There was no response.
