The Grand Elder was a bit troubled.
He didn't expect this to happen, and neither did Reneedol.
Although Scarlet was only a disciple, once she had decided on something, no one could change her mind.
Shroud stepped forward, shielding Scarlet and Rhode behind him, then smiled: "Grand Elder, you don't really understand. Sometimes, other than cultivation, young people have other choices"
The Grand Elder smiled: "It's fine, it's only a small matter"
— — Shroud can't let anything happen to him.
— — Rhode is also the best choice for the Law of Death.
These two people can't be touched.
Reneedol immediately changed her tone and smiled: "I really couldn't tell, but Rhode, you're quite capable"
"It's just that she's really suited to use that scythe"
Gu Qing Shan answered honestly, feeling a bit prideful.
— — I gave her a scythe, but you didn't give her anything at all, and you still want to move her?
If Scarlet doesn't take the bait, you can't touch her.
Gu Qing Shan dispelled her killing intent and respectfully said: "Grand Elder, I've always respected you, and we understand your efforts, but there are some things that can't be forced. Are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of noodles? "
While the Grand Elder was listening, he suddenly heard the word 'noodles'.
His throat moved a bit, then he asked: "You know how to make noodles?"
"Indeed, you've come from afar, so you must have the ingredients. You provide the ingredients, I'll cook it, I guarantee that you'll be satisfied" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Grand Elder paused, then couldn't help but touch his body.
— — -really, there really isn't anything good on this corpse.
But it's been a long time since I've heard of eating, so how could I miss this chance?
The Grand Elder tossed everything that happened just now to the back of his mind and said: "I'll go get some ingredients"
After saying so, he disappeared.
Reneedol shook her head with a rare helpless expression.
She could understand this, but she couldn't reprimand him.
So she could only turn a blind eye to it.
"What do you think about the Apocalypse just now?" Reneedol asked.
"It was extremely dangerous" Scarlet replied.
"This is only the beginning, if that 'Siming' wants us to reveal even more about the relationship between us, we'll be in trouble" Shroud said.
Gu Qing Shan was about to speak when lines of glowing text flashed before her eyes.
The glowing text flickered and suddenly turned blood-red.
Gu Qing Shan immediately became serious.
— — -the War God UI very rarely changed the color of its text, unless it was to alert him.
Lines of blood-red text prompted:
"Attention!"
"Attention!"
"Your time to survive is rapidly decreasing."
[Apocalypse: Siming, has deceived this world, and is currently deceiving this world]
"In twenty-seven minutes, the Apocalypse will descend again."
「 Compared to last time, this time, it will request a layer of connection between living beings — — don't ask me how I know, I deducted 200,000 Soul Points from you 」
"Be very careful!"
Gu Qing Shan shuddered.
He clearly said twelve hours, but in the end, it became more than twenty minutes.
This Apocalypse actually knew how to lie!
However, if one thought about it carefully, one would realize that its goal was to end all living beings.
What's the point of lying?
A line of numbers appeared in the void of space in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
“00:26:59”
“00:26:58”
“00:26:57”
…
What now?
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned, but she still spoke slowly and calmly:
"Shroud, you're absolutely right, we should establish more connections as soon as possible, just in case [Siming] comes again" Gu Qing Shan said.
Shroud nodded.
Reneedol thought for a bit, then agreed that this was an urgent matter.
"But how do we establish connections?" Scarlet doubtfully asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "The connection between people is also known as' relationship ', it's a form of communication and interaction, as well as a manifestation of one's identity"
"But how many connections are there between people?" Scarlet asked.
Shroud began to count: "Schoolmates, friends, brothers, other than that, what else?"
Reneedol pondered: "Parents and children are also a type"
"And lovers, companions, husband and wife" Scarlet added.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "The line between friends and brothers is too blurry, they might be mistaken for the same type of connection"
"From a broader perspective, lovers, companions, husband and wife are all a type of relationship" Reneedol added.
"Why do we have to look at it from a broader perspective?" Scarlet asked in confusion.
"Because [Siming]'s goal is to end everything, you can't rely on it to give us any loopholes" Shroud replied.
Reneedol and Gu Qing Shan both nodded.
That was indeed the case.
Against such an unknown entity, we must discard our fantasies and eliminate all possibilities of being framed.
"We don't actually have a lot of connections between us, so it's not easy" Reneedol scowled.
Everyone also went silent.
They were schoolmates, so they could also be considered friends.
But what else?
There were no other connections.
Shroud turned to Reneedol and asked: "How about you become my girlfriend?"
"Of course!" Reneedol smiled.
Scarlet pondered: "This way, there would be three types of connections between the two of you, namely as fellow disciples of the World Valley, companions, and friends"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "No, I'm guessing that companions and friends can't coexist, because from a male and female perspective, they are either companions or friends, and [Siming] would definitely make that clear"
"That's right, Shroud and I should have two types of connections" Reneedol confirmed.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "For example, if I were to teach you how to cook from now on, you would all become my culinary disciples, while I would be your culinary teacher"
"Is that what you call a connection?" Scarlet asked.
"Indeed, we would establish a master-disciple relationship, one of us would teach, the other would learn, so it would naturally be considered a connection" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Shroud, Reneedol, and Scarlet exchanged glances.
"We're friends, it wouldn't be a good idea to become master and disciple right now, would it?" Shroud hesitantly asked.
"But it shouldn't matter how well I learn, right?" Scarlet was still a bit worried.
"No, I'll seriously teach you, and you also have to seriously learn, don't think that you'll be able to bluff your way through in front of [Siming]" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"So troublesome? Can't we change to something else? "Scarlet asked.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the War God UI.
— — there were 25 minutes left before [Siming] would descend again.
He shrugged: "How about you come up with something else — — as long as you have any good Life Skills, skills, specialties, or talents, I don't mind learning from you"
The three of them fell silent.
Other than becoming stronger and fighting, what else can I do?
This was a question that would make one recognize oneself.
After a while of silence, Reneedol said: "If we can really establish a connection this way, then I don't mind becoming your disciple, but it's only limited to learning how to cook"
"I won't teach you anything else even if you want to" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"I'm fine with that" Shroud replied.
"Me too" Scarlet added.
"Alright, let me teach you the first lesson about cooking" Gu Qing Shan said.
The three of them listened.
Gu Qing Shan took out a cleaver and showed it to the three of them.
"Pay attention, this is a cleaver for cutting vegetables, feel it for yourself"
The cleaver was passed back and forth between the three of them.
"What's going on with cutting vegetables?" Scarlet asked.
Gu Qing Shan randomly chopped a tree branch, then gave the cleaver to Reneedol and said: "You cut it, follow the pattern of the tree, make sure to make sure that the size of each cut is about the same"
"That's very simple" Reneedol said as she held the cleaver.
She seriously began to cut the tree branch. Gu Qing Shan, Shroud, and Scarlet watched from one side.
This was the scene that the Great Elder saw when he returned.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was seeing things.
She — — -
She's using a cleaver to cut a tree branch?
"What are you doing?" the Grand Elder asked.
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: "Establishing a connection — — we're here to see what kind of ingredients the Grand Elder brought back, so that we can demonstrate it in person"
When it came to ingredients, the Grand Elder didn't ask any further and took out a few random rations.
— — after all, there were still 11 hours before [Siming] would descend.
The most important thing right now was to eat a delicious meal.
"A group of pixies were migrating, so I took some of their rations" the Grand Elder said.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at them, then rolled up his sleeves and began to shape these rations into long strips.
"I'm going to demonstrate how to make noodle soup" he told the three of them.
"Would it be better if these rations were stir-fried?" Scarlet asked.
"Pretty much, but I'm an expert at making noodles" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — don't be ridiculous, I have a lot of questions to ask this Grand Elder, so I'm definitely going to make him a bowl of noodles.
Gu Qing Shan's cooking went without saying.
A bowl of noodle soup was quickly devoured by the Grand Elder.
"Delicious, it's so delicious"
The Grand Elder was still holding the bowl, unwilling to put it down.
Gu Qing Shan turned around and told Scarlet: "Quickly recognize Shroud as your older brother, this is another connection"
"That's right, why didn't I think of that!"
Scarlet turned to Shroud.
"Alright, from now on, we're siblings, and I do want to have a younger sister" Shroud grinned.
Scarlet called out: "Big brother"
"Hm, younger sister" Shroud replied.
Gu Qing Shan turned to Reneedol and said: "I'm older than you — –"
Reneedol turned away and asked Scarlet: "Can I also recognize you as my younger sister?"
"Sure" Scarlet glanced at Gu Qing Shan and smiled.
Gu Qing Shan appeared helpless.
His gaze moved towards the time on the War God UI.
Scarlet, Shroud, and Reneedol now had three connections.
5 minutes left.
Gu Qing Shan's heart suddenly jumped.
In such a short amount of time, would I be able to achieve all of this?
He silently simulated it in his mind.
Suddenly, the Grand Elder asked: "What kind of connection did you establish with Rhode?"
"A master-disciple relationship in cooking" Reneedol replied.
The Grand Elder looked at Gu Qing Shan and praised: "That's a good connection"
Gu Qing Shan followed up: "Grand Elder, how about I learn some battle techniques from you, that way we can also establish a master-disciple relationship"
The Grand Elder thought about it and agreed.
[Siming] is too terrifying, I really need to prepare more connections.
He stood up and asked: "What do you want to learn?"
"How to increase the power of a spell" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Grand Elder thought briefly, then said: "This place isn't convenient, let's find a more open place to unleash a more powerful spell"
"Alright" Gu Qing Shan replied.
4 minutes left.
The Grand Elder told the others: "You can rest here, we'll return shortly"
"Hm, let's think about it and see if there are any other new connections" Reneedol said.
The Grand Elder nodded, then brought Gu Qing Shan into the wilderness.
3 minutes later.
They stopped in the middle of a desolate barren wilderness.
"That's enough, releasing powerful offensive techniques here won't harm bystanders by accident" the Great Elder said.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and suddenly asked: "The Wind God took over Atley's body, but was killed by the Apocalypse, can he revive?"
[See you again], activate!
The Grand Elder blanked out for a bit, then replied: "Only Reneedol can revive. We're powerful enough to not be killed, but if there's really something that can kill us, we'll cease to exist"
At the very next moment.
The Grand Elder regained his senses, completely oblivious to what just happened and said:
"Rhode, I need to discuss something with you"
"What discussion?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"If you're willing to convince Scarlet to accept the covenant of flames, I'll teach you the most advanced destructive spells" the Grand Elder said with a grim expression.
"What if I don't?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Grand Elder shook his head: "Then I can only teach you the most basic of things — — this is for the sake of establishing a connection"
5 seconds left.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "No need"
Time's up!
In the sky, countless stars once again erupted in blinding light.
