In the sky, tens of thousands of stars were constantly moving, giving off blinding light.
A cold and blank voice resounded:
"Everyone"
"There are a total of 11 hours until the official start of the game"
"But you must understand, the official [Siming] game is extremely difficult, it could bring about your end at any moment"
"In consideration of this dangerous situation, we shall now begin the warm-up game"
"The rules of the warm-up game are as follows:"
"Every entity, regardless of who you are, must describe the connection between yourself and all things or living beings, as verified by the game"
"You must prove that you have at least three types of connections with each other, no duplicates"
"Those who can do it, congratulations on winning the right to live on"
"If someone can't even prove three types of connections …"
"That means they are not qualified to participate in the official game"
"They shall be ended!"
"Very well, the game — – begins!"
The Grand Elder's expression warped.
Three types of connections!
"Oh no, why did it start early — — - Reneedol!" he hurriedly shouted.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and muttered: "She won't be coming"
"Why not?" the Grand Elder shouted.
"Because she has established at least three types of connections with Shroud and Scarlet, so she can peacefully survive — — -"
"Furthermore, even if she does come, would you dare to expose the connection between you in front of me? I have a covenant with the Overlord of Death, so when I die, he would at least be able to help me pass on a message or something "Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit.
The Grand Elder's expression warped.
"Furthermore — –" Gu Qing Shan shrugged, "[Siming] has already deceived everyone, who knows what it will do next? What if Shroud dies as soon as she leaves? "
Gu Qing Shan smiled, but the Grand Elder felt a chill in his heart.
"At such a dangerous moment, it would be best for her to protect herself and take care of Shroud"
While they were talking, two blood-colored figures silently appeared and hovered above their heads.
"Rhode, this is for the sake of saving lives! Hurry, accept me as your teacher! "the Grand Elder Boss shouted.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and ignored him.
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of him.
It wasn't accurate to call it a person. In fact, it was just a burning ball of dark flames attached to a black cloak.
The Overlord of Death.
Above its head, a ball of blood-red light also appeared!
— — so even the Overlords were threatened by the Apocalypse: [Siming]!
Gu Qing Shan quickly said, "We are in a contractual relationship."
A line of words also appeared in front of the Overlord of Death: [I will provide you with power, and you will worship me with the death of all living beings]
A dark blue thread appeared, connecting Gu Qing Shan and the Overlord of Death.
The first connection was established!
Gu Qing Shan reached into his pocket and tossed a spirit stone to the Overlord of Death, then quickly said:
"I am your creditor."
A line of text immediately appeared in front of the Overlord of Death:
"I admit that I am your debtor."
Another dark blue line appeared and connected the two of them.
The second connection was established!
Gu Qing Shan didn't stop for a single breath and continued: "Can you be my friend?"
Another line of text appeared in front of the Overlord of Death:
"I can!"
The dark blue line continued to appear, connecting them together.
The third connection was perfected!
Hoh — —
The ball of light above Gu Qing Shan's head disappeared.
The ball of light above the Overlord of Death's head also disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan looked to the side.
Only to see the other ball of red light becoming thicker and thicker, quickly enveloping the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder opened his mouth and angrily shouted: "Rhode, who exactly are you!?"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and only coldly stared at him.
The red light became even brighter, like blood and fire.
The Great Elder opened his mouth and seemed to be cursing at something.
But his voice couldn't be heard anymore.
Almost in an instant, his entire body, flesh, bones, and even his soul disappeared along with the scarlet light.
— — -he was finished.
Gu Qing Shan and the Overlord of Death silently watched this.
A line of burning black text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan:
[Rhode, it was fortunate that I had you]
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "Without you, I would have ended up the same way, we were both trying to save ourselves"
He then curiously asked: "Were you also affected by [Siming]?"
The line of burning text changed to form a new line of text:
[Indeed, during the previous two connections, we were able to pass because we had a double connection with the World Origin, but now that the Laws have been changed to three connections, we can no longer pass — — several Overlords have already been killed — - look up!]
Gu Qing Shan looked up, only to see countless sprites of light on Fei Li's land flying towards the stars in the sky.
"So powerful … this must be the World Origin power contained within the Law Behemoths …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Quite a few Law Behemoths had died just now, so their World Origin power was being absorbed by [Siming].
Tens of thousands of stars in the sky were strengthened by the World Origin power, becoming brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire world as if it was noon.
[Apocalypse: [Siming]] was growing stronger.
It would continue to grow stronger.
And there was nothing in this world that could resist its power.
Not even the Law Behemoths!
Reneedol came from the Pantheon and managed to avoid the destruction of the previous era, but she had no choice but to learn cooking from me, all for the sake of surviving under [Siming]'s influence!
The sense of danger in Gu Qing Shan's heart was growing stronger and stronger.
This definitely wasn't a Seal-class Apocalypse, nor an Unsolvable Apocalypse, it was at least a true Unlivable Apocalypse!
Unlivable.
No survivors.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Suddenly, a person appeared behind him.
Reneedol.
Reneedol looked around and understood the situation.
"The Grand Elder — –" she said.
"He was killed by the Apocalypse" Gu Qing Shan suddenly knelt down on one knee and punched the ground.
Boom!
A deep pit burning with raging flames appeared.
"How detestable, it killed the Grand Elder, I couldn't do anything about it!"
Gu Qing Shan roared in grief and indignation.
Reneedol looked at the Overlord of Death and muttered: "Rhode, were you saved by the Overlord of Death?"
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan replied dejectedly, "He established a few more connections with me and helped me survive, but the Grand Elder — — -"
He couldn't continue.
Seeing that, Reneedol also felt a bit of lingering fear.
— — among the Myriad Deities, my connection with the Water God isn't actually that close, and I don't normally interact with them.
On the other hand, it was because I established a few concrete connections with Shroud, Rhode, and Scarlet that I managed to avoid this [Siming] calamity.
The situation is becoming more and more serious.
— — I need to gather more people to the Realm of Life!
Reneedol silently thought.
At this point, Shroud and Scarlet also arrived.
After learning about what happened just now, they also sighed.
This Apocalypse was truly too powerful.
It was truly despairing.
"What should we do now?" Scarlet asked.
"Go somewhere with more people!" Reneedol replied.
"But the Law Behemoths are still looking for us" Shroud said.
Reneedol coldly chuckled: "A large number of them have already died, the rest can't even protect themselves, so how would they be in the mood to look for you"
"Alright, then we'll go somewhere with more people, that way we'll be able to establish more connections" Shroud agreed.
Gu Qing Shan hadn't said anything up to this point, but he followed up: "This Apocalypse is too terrifying, we can't hesitate any longer, we need to hurry to somewhere with more people!"
He then turned to Reneedol: "I know you're thin-skinned, but now isn't the time to be bashful. I'm older than you, you're younger than me, let's become brother and sister"
Reneedol was a bit surprised.
Gu Qing Shan patted Shroud's back and said: "Try to convince her, this isn't something to joke about"
Shroud then walked forward and held Reneedol's hand: "Rhode is our best friend, so you should just treat him as your younger sister — — - each more connection we have, the more hope we'll have for survival"
Reneedol thought about it and agreed.
The Wind God is already dead.
Water God is also dead.
I didn't even have time to devour the Law Behemoths before they were harvested by the Apocalypse.
The situation is truly terrible.
— — -we need to protect ourselves first, then consider other matters.
Reneedol looked at Rhode, her lips twitching, but couldn't say anything.
All of a sudden, all the stars in the sky dimmed down.
The cold, emotionless voice once again resounded across the entire world:
「 Congratulations, you have passed the warm-up test, you may safely pass the remaining 11 hours and wait for the game to officially begin 」
「 However … 」
「 In the remaining 11 hours, there might be other surprises waiting for you 」
「 Everyone, please stay tuned 」
The voice slowly faded.
The world became dark.
What will happen next?
No one knew.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Reneedol and urged: "Hurry! Everything is for the sake of survival! "
This time, Reneedol no longer hesitated and called out: "Bro"
"Hm, little sister" Gu Qing Shan replied.
