Gu Qing Shan tasted each bottle, silently thought for a bit, then personally made a cocktail.
"You need to memorize the taste and characteristics of each type of alcohol, then use your understanding of the proportions to make different types of alcohol"
He gave the concoction to Scarlet.
Scarlet took a sip and looked at him in surprise.
"What is it? Does it not suit your taste? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's not it, I've always known that you're good at cooking, but I didn't think that you'd also know how to make such delicious alcohol" Scarlet replied.
Gu Qing Shan decided to just throw in the towel and said: "Our Law of Death might naturally require the catalysis of alcohol to help us exert our own power"
"I was thinking the same thing"
Scarlet agreed, then downed the entire glass in one gulp.
She stood up and lightly chanted an incantation, until specks of starlight fell onto her body and manifested as black flames.
These dark flames gradually took shape, materializing into components that were shrouded in black light.
Scarlet muttered in a low voice: "Mortals embrace Death, while Divinities use Death as their armor — – go!"
The fragmented black components fell onto Gu Qing Shan's body and perfectly formed a jet-black full-body armor.
The black flames exuded from the armor, giving off an aura of deathly stillness.
Wearing this armor, Gu Qing Shan looked even more like the legendary Death God!
"Is this your ability?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
"That's right, I asked Shroud for guidance, he told me the secret of star construction — — I chose a few methods to practice, but in the end, I still wanted to make some supportive abilities" Scarlet smiled.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Before Scarlet came into contact with the Law of Death, she had always dreamed of becoming a supportive team leader.
And now, with Boss's careful guidance, she had once again embarked on this path.
Gu Qing Shan stood up, lightly moving her body to get used to the armor she was wearing.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[Magic armor: Flames of Death (full-body armor)]
[An armor manifested using the star construction method and the Law of Death, this is the exclusive armor of Divinities]
[This armor contains the following exclusive spells:]
[Divine Might: A mortal's attacks cannot penetrate the Divine armor, unless they are at least five times stronger than a Divinity]
[Flames of Death: The magic armor will endure all damage for the wearer, before the armor is completely destroyed, the wearer will not be harmed]
Reading the description on the War God UI, Gu Qing Shan was a bit shocked.
The fact that an armor formed by a spell could possess such power was far beyond his imagination.
— — Boss had taken out all of his trump cards and taught them to Scarlet.
"Not bad, this armor is truly powerful"
"Not bad, this armor is truly powerful" Gu Qing Shan praised.
Despite being praised, Scarlet was still a bit nervous and said: "Truthfully, I'm still not strong enough, so this armor isn't particularly powerful — — you need to be careful, this armor won't be able to block too many attacks for you"
"Even if I could block a single attack, the result would be vastly different on the battlefield" Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied.
He lightly stroked this black flame armor, feeling quite pleased with it.
Up until now, I've never had any affinity with armors.
The armor I obtained in the cultivation world had already been destroyed.
I also wore the Bramble Bird Kingdom's armor, but that belonged to someone else, so I returned it.
During the Age of Old, I obtained the armor provided by the [Demon King Order], but at the very last moment, the [Demon King Order] played some tricks and I gave it up.
The Angel of Condemnation armor is a true Divine armor that originated from the Condemnation Codex, it's unparalleled in power — — but I haven't even worn it yet, and I already used it to save Little Dusk.
How could a sword cultivator not have armor?
— — and now, I finally have a set of armor!
"You like it a lot?" Scarlet looked at him and asked.
"Yeah, I like the armor a lot, because with it, I'll be able to avoid having to consider a lot of situations when I kill enemies" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Scarlet fell into thought.
"Thank you, Scarlet — — right, have you constructed a Star Beast yet?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Scarlet regained her senses and replied: "That's too hard, I'll first learn how to construct the Star Beast Armor, then I'll need to ask Shroud for guidance before I can construct a powerful Star Beast — — - no, I need to continue my research"
After saying so, she hurriedly left.
As soon as Scarlet left, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in" Gu Qing Shan said.
An elf cautiously pushed open the door and bowed: "Dear God, your companions have sent me to ask if you've finished your training"
Gu Qing Shan quickly thought about it and understood.
Boss is a bit traumatized by dancing …
"Go and tell him that it's over" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Understood!"
The elf hurriedly retreated as if he was granted amnesty.
A few moments later, a head peeked in from outside the door.
Shroud was hiding outside the door, cautiously glancing inside the secret room.
It was only after he confirmed that there was no music or the atmosphere of dancing that he came in.
Gu Qing Shan advised him: "Hah, I'm telling you, that dance actually has a lot of benefits, sometimes it might even bring you some extra benefits, why do you feel so repulsed by it?"
Boss skipped this topic and said: "If we've already guessed it, then we should do a few things now"
"Like what?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Do you know what kind of island this is?" Boss asked.
"The island of the Protection Deity, as well as the location of her Divine Temple" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Boss continued: "The Protection Deity is the entity with the strongest defense among the Myriad Deities, and her Divine Temple is actually very close to the center of the Pantheon ruins"
"So?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss sighed and said: "Back then, I had also explored the ruins of the Pantheon, but this was the furthest I could go, and I didn't go any further, do you know why?"
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "This is the Divine Temple of the Protection Deity, located above an underground river — –"
He suddenly realized and looked at Boss with a questioning expression.
Boss nodded: "Indeed, this place isn't actually an underground river, or rather — — - half of the Pantheon ruins is above water, while the other half is submerged underwater"
"Why is that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm not sure" Boss replied: "In truth, all of my information came from the half of the ruins above water, but I don't know if there are any other secrets hidden within the underwater ruins"
"Why didn't you go any further back then?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Because I had already established a new era at the time, facing the invasion of the Apocalypse every single day, so I didn't need to know too much about the past. After all, they were too far away from my era, so there wasn't much meaning" Boss replied.
— — -that's true.
The Age of Immemorial had already passed, and so had the Age of Old Gods. Even if there was another era before the Age of Old Gods, it was too far away to affect Boss's era at all.
At the time, Boss had to focus all of his attention on dealing with the various Apocalypses.
"Underwater … huh?"
Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.
"Indeed, I know everything that happened on the surface. I've also explored the half of the Pantheon that is above water, but there isn't any more information about that era. Right now, we can only try to go underwater and see if we can find anything" Boss replied.
The two of them exchanged glances with cautious expressions.
If that monster was hiding in the Pantheon, then it was very likely to be hiding in the underwater ruins.
Even if they guessed wrong, the two of them might still be able to find some information about that era from the underwater ruins.
— — -at this crucial moment, any bit of information would be very useful.
"Little Xi has been managing this place for a long time, I wonder if she's taken a look underwater?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss replied: "I've asked her, she said that there's a divine palace not too far underwater, as well as many ancient structures further down, but she sensed some danger so she didn't dive too deep"
"Alright, let's go take a look"
Gu Qing Shan decided right away.
The two of them left the secret room and followed the path until they reached the shore of the Isle of Protection.
Gu Qing Shan looked down into the water.
The underground river was flowing rapidly, the deepest part of it was completely dark, giving off an unfathomable feeling.
The Pantheon was buried underground.
Then, could the ruins of the era before it be even deeper underground?
While Gu Qing Shan was lost in thought, Boss suddenly sent his voice: "If there's something watching us, what would it think if we go underwater to explore the ruins?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "We'll have to wait until we jump down to find out"
He leapt into the water.
The water was bone-chilling cold, carrying a chill that could freeze anything.
Plop!
Boss also jumped down.
As they were about to dive down, the entire Isle of Protection began to shake.
"What's going on?" Boss asked in a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan had already released her inner sight to scan the surroundings of the Isle.
"There's trouble" he quickly said.
Various broken items were slowly drifting towards them from the river, including a few corpses, broken pieces of buildings, as well as items of unknown use.
The broken items of the Samsara were drifting along the river towards the Isle of Protection.
"These things are very troublesome, some of them even carry the presence of the Apocalypse, once they spread, the consequences will be unimaginable" Boss scowled.
"We need to do something" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two of them leapt out from the water, hovering in the air, silently waiting for those things to come closer.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
He glanced at Boss. Boss's expression was also solemn.
— — -just as they were about to go underwater to explore, something like this happened.
The monster that's watching over everything seems to not want us to go underwater to explore.
