A line of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[Your remaining time to live:]
“11:57”
“11:56”
“11:55”
…
Gu Qing Shan's gaze moved towards Scarlet.
Scarlet was still grieving for Epta.
Shroud stood on one side, completely stunned, unable to react to what just happened.
"He directly wiped them out."
"Why … would she have such power …"
He muttered to himself, then abruptly jumped up and loudly shouted:
"Oh no, Reneedol is alone outside!"
Scarlet also abruptly stood up and hurriedly said: "We need to hurry and find her!"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two of them.
They didn't know about Reneedol's true situation, so they still considered her to be their companion.
In truth, it was indeed time for them to check on her situation.
After all, she was alone outside, unable to establish contact with anyone, so it was very likely that she had already been erased by the [Apocalypse: Siming].
But even now, time still hadn't returned.
If Reneedol had died, why haven't the three Great Laws of Reality reappeared?
Could it be because of the Apocalypse?
"Indeed, we need to confirm her situation right away" Gu Qing Shan said with a stern expression.
Suddenly, a voice resounded:
"I'm glad that you thought of me right away"
Reneedol appeared in front of the three of them with a smile.
— — -she had returned!
However, a white-haired old man was standing next to her.
Shroud's expression changed, then exclaimed in shock together with Scarlet: "The Guardian Elder?"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised for a split second, then immediately followed up: "Grand Elder, you're still alive!"
The Guardian Elder, who was also the Grand Elder, had been missing for a very long time.
The previous Reneedol had used his corpse to block Gu Qing Shan's attack in order to buy herself a chance to escape.
Gu Qing Shan had examined the corpse and even found a recording of Reneedol's image on it.
— — this Elder was indeed dead.
But he came back to life.
The Great Elder looked at the three youths and said with a smile, "I've been looking for you for a long time. Just now, I just happened to feel Reneedol's aura and finally found your whereabouts."
"It's great that you're still alive!" Scarlet said.
"Yeah, as long as you're here, we're not afraid of anything!" Gu Qing Shan added.
It was full of loopholes.
The Law Behemoth had clearly sealed space, but Reneedol said that she could hide in another space without being discovered.
If she was really hiding in a different space, how did the Great Elder find her?
Besides, this person was really dead.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Reneedol.
Above her head, there were actually three faint stars!
With the first star, she devoured the Law Behemoth of Wind, allowing Atley to complete the soul swap.
Which two Law Behemoths did she devour with these two extra starlight particles?
In any case, one of them must have been used up.
— — she used the Great Elder's corpse to lure another soul of the Pantheon here and attached it to the corpse.
Gu Qing Shan noticed that.
Perhaps it was because of the advent of [Apocalypse: Siming] that she had no choice but to use the Great Elder's corpse to place the soul of a certain Deity into it.
Without this resurrected person, Reneedol wouldn't have been able to establish a connection with another person twice.
She would have died in the Apocalypse!
Gu Qing Shan instantly understood the crux of the matter.
He turned to Reneedol.
This woman is truly impressive, she managed to escape from [Siming].
The Great Elder was still talking.
"I've been cultivating in seclusion, but as soon as I heard that the World Valley was destroyed, my heart broke"
He sighed and pretended to say: "It's good that a disciple managed to survive. From now on, I will not leave you again, I will ensure your safety"
Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally: "It's great that you're here, we won't have to worry about anything anymore"
Both Shroud and Scarlet sighed in relief.
— — they were truly sighing in relief.
Reneedol looked at everyone's expressions, her lips twitched a bit, but she didn't say anything.
Atley and Epta weren't here.
The result was clear, there was no need to confirm it again.
Since the Apocalypse had arrived, a lot of things had to be done quickly.
She glanced at the Great Elder.
The Great Elder's expression changed a bit, then turned to the young people and asked: "While I wasn't here, did you grow any stronger?"
"Yes, I can now control the power of the Law of Radiance" Shroud replied.
Scarlet replied: "I can control the power of the Law of Death, the same goes for Rhode"
The Great Elder's expression remained calm as he continued: "Reneedol has already told me about your current situation, the Law Behemoths will send people to find you at any moment, so I need to first understand your current strength in order to help you improve a bit faster"
The three of them exchanged glances.
The Great Elder continued: "No need to worry, my strength is more than enough to deal with you, so use your strongest attacks against me"
"Alright, I'll go first"
Shroud stepped forward and casually flipped through the Book of Prophesized Destinies.
Several dozen spears of light manifested out of nowhere and shot towards the Great Elder.
"Not bad" the Great Elder praised.
He lightly flicked his hand against the spears of light.
Instantly, layers of frost manifested out of nowhere and froze the spears of light inside.
Unable to move, the spears of light were quickly extinguished.
"Shroud, stand down, Scarlet, you go" the Great Elder said.
Scarlet casually summoned the black scythe, rushed forward, and slashed at the Great Elder's neck.
Black flames filled the air.
Bam — —
A dull thud.
Scarlet was sent flying, rolled twice on the ground, then stood back up in a sorry state.
The Great Elder couldn't tell what he was thinking and only casually said: "His strength is decent, next, Rhode"
Gu Qing Shan opened his palm.
A cluster of black flames manifested in his hand.
— — since this guy from the Pantheon was borrowing the Great Elder's identity, he would naturally be able to unleash his original power without any qualms. After all, the Great Elder was also very powerful.
The current Shroud and Scarlet were both too young to be able to tell just how powerful the soul underneath the Great Elder's body was.
Then let me give it a try!
Gu Qing Shan leapt forward and tossed the cluster of black flames in his hand towards the Great Elder.
A stray flame instantly traversed a long distance and directly collided with the frost shield in front of the Great Elder.
Boom!
The flames rose to the sky!
Within the intense black flames, the frost around the Great Elder's body began to melt.
He clasped his hands behind his back and praised: "Rhode's power of Death is already quite powerful, much more powerful than Scarlet"
"You flatter me, Great Elder" Gu Qing Shan appeared embarrassed.
The Great Elder's gaze moved through the three of them and commented: "Shroud is the only inheritor of the Law of Radiance, his talents are limitless, and he will sooner or later become one of the strongest Combatants in this world"
"Rhode's power of Death is compatible with his own characteristics, so it's possible for him to become a true God of Death in the future"
"As for Scarlet … Reneedol has told me about your situation …"
The Great Elder opened his palm. A cluster of flames manifested in his hand.
"You aren't suited for the Law of Death. I have a covenant of the Law of Flame here, how about you sign it and become the Envoy of Flame from now on?"
The Great Elder added: "Scarlet, your thoughts are pure, and you don't have any killing intent, pure flames are more suited for you"
"Once you accept this covenant of Flame, you will improve even faster than Rhode"
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Scarlet appeared hesitant.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank to the bottom.
He finally understood what the other party was planning.
Reneedol had three stars on her, two of which were used by Atley and the Great Elder.
Only one star remained.
— — the Great Elder wants Scarlet to complete the soul swap and become one of them!
Boundless killing intent erupted in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
— — not yet.
The Apocalypse is right before us.
I still don't know the situation of the Pantheon.
If I act rashly, I'll only allow the enemy to resurrect again.
If Reneedol resurrected again, she would know that there's something wrong with Rhode, she would know when [Apocalypse: Siming] would erupt and know how to avoid it.
— — the Pantheon would obtain clearer and clearer information, they would be able to advance further in this chaotic situation!
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, then opened them again.
"Grand Elder" he smiled, "Scarlet and I cultivate the power of Death together, so we've been able to communicate with each other and improve quite quickly"
The Great Elder shook his head: "Rhode, the power of Death is a bloodthirsty power, anyone who accepts it would fall into an endless cycle of slaughter, it's not suitable for a girl"
Scarlet looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at the Great Elder, but didn't say anything for now.
Seeing that, Reneedol smiled: "Scarlet, after you accept the Law of Flame, you won't need to drink anymore, and you'll be able to quickly grow stronger under the Great Elder's guidance, isn't that great?"
Scarlet silently nodded.
"It is indeed great" she said.
The Great Elder happily nodded and said: "Then come, receive the covenant of Flame from me"
Gu Qing Shan's killing intent surged.
— — although he's a wise and intelligent person, in the end, he's still a sword cultivator.
At such a close distance, if he suddenly decided to kill someone, no one would be able to stop him in a hurry.
I don't care who you are, whether or not you can be revived, I want you dead right now!
Gu Qing Shan's hand slightly opened, almost about to grab the Six Paths Great Mountain sword from the void of space.
At this point, Scarlet turned to him and asked:
"Rhode, do you really think it's better for me to use the power of Death?"
Before Gu Qing Shan could answer, the Great Elder had already shook his head and sighed: "Rhode is also a newbie when it comes to using the power of Laws, in truth, both of you need my guidance"
Scarlet ignored him and simply stared at Gu Qing Shan.
The Great Elder also stared back at her.
Gu Qing Shan held back her killing intent and smiled warmly: "I'm also a newbie, so I don't know much about the power of Laws, but I feel that it's better for you to use the power of Death, tsk tsk, a black scythe, how cool"
Scarlet instantly smiled.
She bowed to the Great Elder and said: "Grand Elder, I'm sorry, the Law of Flame is good, but I've already prepared myself to always use the Law of Death"
The Great Elder scoffed: "You're a girl, the Law of Death will make you kill a lot of people"
Reneedol also scowled: "Accepting the Law of Death will cause you to receive the curse of Death, you will fall into the eternal fate of killing and being killed"
Scarlet smiled and looked at Reneedol: "It can't be helped, I promised Rhode"
"What did you promise him?" Reneedol appeared doubtful.
Scarlet replied: "I promised Rhode that I would follow him"
The Great Elder shook his head: "You kids are just joking around, no need to take it so seriously"
"— — no, I never go back on my promises"
Scarlet firmly replied.
