Gu Qing Shan accompanied Boss to train for a while.
The two of them respectively used the power of Light and Death to fight for about half an hour.
"I found that my control over the power of Death has gotten even deeper"
Gu Qing Shan spat out some blood and said.
— — -he especially cherished that Death flame armor, so much so that he didn't wear it even during sparring, so he accidentally got hit by it.
Boss wiped the sweat off his forehead and appeared nostalgic: "This kind of training sure is nostalgic"
Seeing him spacing out, Gu Qing Shan silently sent her voice: "Alright, it's about time to make it look like you're about to break through"
Boss regained his senses and hesitantly asked: "Won't that be too sudden?"
"It won't be, we fought for so long just now, we've already prepared for it" Gu Qing Shan sent her voice again.
Boss was still hesitant.
After a while, he shook his head and sent his voice: "I can't, I feel like breaking through so quickly would be a bit deliberate"
"Then let's fight again?" Gu Qing Shan helplessly asked.
"How about this, you use a relatively dangerous technique to attack me, I'll break through at the brink of life and death — — - wouldn't that seem natural?" Boss asked.
"Ah, if that's the case, it's not bad, but it's a bit risky" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"It's fine, we can control it well" Boss replied.
"Then let's begin" Gu Qing Shan cautiously said.
He silently held his breath and adjusted his state of mind to its peak.
— — -to make the other party break through at the brink of life and death, I have to attack not too early, not too late.
If I attack too early, Boss will be heavily wounded, but if I attack too late, it'll seem fake.
This is a test.
Layers of black flames manifested from the void of space, manifesting behind Gu Qing Shan and forming a faint shadow.
— — – Gu Qing Shan was completely serious!
"I'm coming"
"Come!"
The two of them prepared to fight.
At this point, Reneedol came in from outside and looked at the two of them.
"Are you cultivating?" she asked.
Boss retracted his aura, looked at her, and said softly, "Yes, I want to improve my strength."
Reneedol nodded: "The current situation isn't optimistic. Shroud, you're our leader, so you mustn't slack off and increase your strength as soon as possible"
Boss was stunned for a few seconds.
Suddenly, a layer of blinding white light surged from his body.
"Ahhhhhh!"
He roared, "I'm about to break through!"
"Ah, so fast?" Reneedol was surprised.
"Of course, I'm the number one in the star- space, Reneedol!" Boss gave a thumbs up and pointed at himself.
His aura continued to rise.
He really broke through!
Reneedol was dumbfounded.
"Your … talent is truly outstanding …" She exclaimed.
"Hehe, of course."
Boss struck a cool pose and began to gather the power of the Radiance Precept.
Indeed, this posture was not conducive to condensing the power of laws.
But it was cool.
Reneedol smiled and said: "How about I spar with you?"
"Sure" Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan expressionlessly looked at Boss, then at Reneedol.
— — whenever it was breeding season, male birds would display their beautiful feathers in order to attract female birds.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded, then turned to leave.
"Rhode, where are you going?"
Boss hurriedly asked.
"— — I need some time alone" Gu Qing Shan replied without turning around.
He silently sent his voice: "I'm going out for a bit, don't let them find me"
"Ah, alright" Boss was surprised.
Outside the training room.
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to observe the situation around her while estimating the time.
— — -it was almost evening, everyone was busy dealing with some important matters.
The elves had lost their slaves, so they were holding a council meeting.
The giants were trying to plant fruit trees on the island.
Scarlet was focused on studying Star Force.
Little Dusk was setting up a defensive and defensive line by the riverbank.
The adulterous couple was cultivating in the training room.
Gu Qing Shan could clearly sense that the feeling of being watched had lessened a bit on this peaceful night.
If that's the case …
He turned around and headed towards the Protection Deity's secret room.
— — -there are a few things that I need to do right now.
A few minutes later.
Gu Qing Shan closed the door of the secret room, then set up a series of defensive and defensive formations before taking something out from his chest.
The colorful rooster statue.
This secret room was relatively safe, a good place to ask for information.
He pulled on the rooster's comb.
The colorful rooster instantly came to life.
"Ah, it's you, youngster, what's the matter?"
The colorful rooster yawned and asked with sleepy eyes.
"How exactly did the era before the Age of Myriad Deities come to an end?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The colorful rooster instantly woke up.
It glared at Gu Qing Shan: "This chicken has only just woken up and you're already asking such a deep question?"
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and helplessly replied: "Time is of the essence, I need to find out the truth as soon as possible"
"Alright, I won't make it hard for you — — as usual, come"
The colorful rooster raised its wing and made a heart shape.
Gu Qing Shan put her hand on the chicken wing and transferred a bit of Soul Points over.
"Ah, how refreshing!"
The rooster let out a cry of ecstasy.
After receiving the Soul Points, the rooster was full of vigor.
"Since you've sincerely asked for my help, I'll be merciful enough to tell you" the colorful rooster said in high spirits.
"Please go ahead" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Listen, youngster, I don't know anything about this either" the colorful rooster said with a serious expression.
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
Boss isn't reliable, and you, a chicken, are the same?
Gu Qing Shan took out a pot from her back, as well as a cleaver and muttered: "It's been a while since I've had chicken …"
The colorful rooster was so scared that it hurriedly jumped back and shouted: "Calm down! I can tell you something else very important! "
"What is it?"
Gu Qing Shan held the cleaver and gently asked.
The rooster explained: "The more powerful a spell, the more power is required to support it in order to continue to exist in this world. On the other hand, those that were created using the simplest and most basic Laws of existence are able to survive for countless years and still continue to exist. Furthermore, the amount of power required to maintain them is extremely small"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and found that to be the case.
"What are you trying to say?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"There are a few places in the Pantheon that no one has ever been to before, so the murals and statues in those places are still intact. I suggest that you take a look at these elegant things" the rooster told her.
"You mean — — -" Gu Qing Shan hesitantly asked.
"Even if the Divinities had exaggerated it a bit, everything was recorded on the murals and statues"
"The shocking secrets of the Age of Immemorial are waiting for you to witness them for yourself"
After saying so, the colorful rooster nodded to Gu Qing Shan and turned back into a statue.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a while before putting the pot and cleaver away.
— — murals, huh?
His gaze turned to the wall.
The Protection Deity was fighting a bloody battle against an unknown entity.
Perhaps, I'll be able to see the true face of that entity in the underwater divine temple?
Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up.
"Gongzi, do you need me to turn into you and stay here?" Shannu asked.
"No, you're coming with me" Gu Qing Shan cautiously replied.
He turned into an orange cat, activated [Ghostly Shadow of Night], and borrowed [Spotless Jade] from Adorable.
Everything was ready.
The orange cat reached his paw out and formed a hand seal.
The door of the secret room opened a crack.
The orange cat's figure flashed and went through the crack.
The door silently closed again.
Everything was done without anyone noticing.
The orange cat found a tree, climbed up it a few times, and carefully sensed his surroundings.
— — the faint feeling of being watched had disappeared.
A black thread was coiled around his front left paw, continuously pointing in a certain direction.
The orange cat narrowed his eyes and looked at the riverbank in the night sky.
A few moments later.
The cat began to run.
He quickly arrived at the riverbank, followed the direction that the thread of fate was pointing at, and found a piece of loose soil in a secluded bush.
The orange cat used his paw to lightly scrape the soil, revealing a hole about half the width of a person.
Deep water flowed out from the hole, then quickly returned to normal.
The orange cat looked at this hole that had already been submerged by the water and silently thought.
— — I don't know what this hole was used for in the past, but at the very least, it allowed me to avoid the apocalyptic trash in the underground river.
It was a passage between a divine temple and another building.
The orange cat silently dove into the water and swam down the hole.
His surroundings were completely dark, so he couldn't see anything.
The orange cat swung his four paws and continuously swam through the water while using his inner sight to observe the situation at the bottom of the passage.
The water had submerged everything.
Even after going very deep, he still couldn't see a single living creature or sound.
The orange cat dove down for about half an hour, but still hadn't reached the bottom.
At this point, he was also a bit surprised.
What exactly is the Protection Deity trying to do? She actually built such a deep tunnel on her own Island.
The orange cat pondered briefly before quickly making his decision.
It immediately activated [Shadow Shift] and began to move quickly in the tunnel filled with water.
After diving down for another 15 minutes, something finally changed in front of him.
The orange cat found himself coming out from a black ceiling.
Other than the ceiling, there was nothing but the vast and misty water around him, making it impossible to see anything.
The orange cat moved his body to look at the black ceiling.
It was hard to tell how deep and wide the ceiling was. There were numerous holes on it, but they all looked exactly the same. There was not the slightest difference.
Even now, the orange cat still couldn't understand the situation in front of him.
He lightly drew a line next to the hole he came from, made a small mark, then swam downwards.
And then, he saw that scene — — -
Countless corpses were lying in the deep water below, forming a sea of corpses.
As far as the eye could see, he couldn't even see the edge of this sea of corpses.
Each corpse appeared to be sincerely praying, still maintaining their expressions even after death.
All of the corpses were wearing armor and weapons in their hands, as if they were preparing to fight something.
A large stone pillar reached out from the depths of the sea of corpses, connecting to the black ceiling.
On this stone pillar, there was an engraving of an existence holding a long scythe. He wore a black cloak, and his face was hidden within the hood. He was commanding countless skeletons, and he was currently fighting against an unknown monster.
Unfortunately, the only thing that remained of that monster was a blurry stone body, its original carvings had already been destroyed.
— — -there was no way to tell what it was.
The orange cat paused briefly, his expression still a bit confused.
This place seemed to be the divine temple of the Death God.
However, this place was completely different from any other divine temple he had ever seen.
The orange cat swam towards the large stone pillar.
