The underground river.
Halfway through her flight, Reneedol abruptly stopped in mid-air.
She quickly raised her arm to block in front of herself.
Endless starlight flowed from her neck and manifested into a glowing tower shield in her hand.
At almost the same time, a pillar of black light shot out from the underground river in front of her.
This pillar of light was so fast that it reached Reneedol in the blink of an eye.
The tower shield clashed against the pillar of light.
Oong — — — —
The pillar of black light was reflected away and pierced through the thick rock wall of the underground river, leaving only a deep circular tunnel on the surface.
Reneedol raised the tower shield and coldly spoke: "Hiding in a dark corner, using a despicable and despicable method to face fate, you really are disgusting"
A resounding voice resounded from the underground river:
「 There is no need to hate your creator, because you came from me, you are a part of me 」
Reneedol shook her head: "Whenever I think about how you can observe my thoughts, I feel disgusted 」
「 That is because you have yet to mature, one day, you will get used to this way of existence 」 the voice replied.
"I will never get used to it" Reneedol replied.
In front of her, a gigantic tentacle reached out from the water.
This tentacle was so gigantic that it blocked the entire river.
A thin slit slowly appeared on the antennae. It rapidly expanded upwards and downwards, revealing a black vertical pupil within.
The giant pupil stared straight at Reneedol and coldly spoke: 「 Your fate today has already been decided, just like those Myriad Deities hiding in a corner of the Dusty World 」
Oom — —
A large amount of mist rose from the surface of the underground river.
One figure after another appeared on the surface of the underground river, slowly filling up the entire river.
When the mist was blown away by the wind, their appearances were quickly revealed to Reneedol.
"These are … my companions hiding in the Dusty World"
Reneedol's complexion was pale as she watched this.
The Deities were wearing armor and wielding weapons, staring blankly at Reneedol.
Numerous thin black tentacles had pierced deep into the back of their heads, controlling their every action.
The majestic voice buzzed.
"Reneedol, I don't have time to waste with you, give Shroud to me right now — — this is your last chance!"
Reneedol smiled coldly.
A deep shadow burst out from her armor and shrouded the surroundings.
Countless stars flew out from the necklace around her neck and turned into a spear.
She wielded a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, loudly declaring: "A mere Myriad Deity wants to steal Shroud from my hands?"
"Then die!" the Lord of Infinite Origins roared angrily.
Following its declaration, the deities standing in the dark river began to stir.
Crack!!!
A crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Reneedol looked up, only to see that the rock wall above them had begun to crack open, which was quickly spreading outwards.
Reneedol's expression changed.
She knew very well that the countless Apocalypses were crushing the entire Pantheon.
Looking at the opposite side, he saw countless tentacles reaching out from the underground river, rushing towards the rock wall above his head, supporting the rocks that were about to shatter.
More thin and long tentacles directly entered the rock wall through the cracks, turning into new support.
「 Aaaargh! Damned Apocalypses! 」
The Lord of Infinite Origins roared in a frenzy.
The Myriad Deities under his control also acted, using various powers to maintain the rock wall above.
Reneedol took a few steps back with a hesitant expression.
The two Divine Armaments in my hands were forged by millions of Deities in the past to kill the Lord of Infinite Origins.
— — -this was the perfect chance to attack him.
But in this situation, once the Lord of Infinite Origins is defeated, no one would be able to hold the Pantheon up anymore.
If I kill the Lord of Infinite Origins, the endless Apocalypse garbage on the ground will destroy the entire Pantheon, and I will die as well!
— — all living beings hiding within the Pantheon will die!
Reneedol raised her spear, then slowly lowered it.
All of a sudden, a male voice resounded from behind her: "No need to think too much, now is not the time to kill him"
Reneedol abruptly turned around.
"Shroud! Why are you here? This place is too dangerous! "she hurriedly said.
Boss looked at her and smiled faintly, then said: "Come, lend me your Star Force"
"What do you want to do?" Reneedol asked.
The Book of Prophesized Destiny hovered in front of Boss, automatically flipped open, and stopped at a certain page.
All kinds of organs were drawn on this page.
A large eyeball was at the center of the page, staring straight at Boss.
"We need to borrow a bit of power to deal with the current situation"
Boss said.
…
The secret room.
The blinding starlight was absorbed into Scarlet's body and vanished without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her, a bit surprised.
Now that I think about it, I was the one who brought the Death wine, I was the one who taught Scarlet how to mix drinks, I was also the one who taught Star Force how to attack as well as defensive techniques.
— — Scarlet actually created a Star Scorpion that resonated with the wine I mixed.
Fate is truly a mysterious thing.
I wonder what Scarlet's future will be like.
I wonder if Anna is actually her descendant or not.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "Scarlet, what happened to the Scorpion you created using Star Force?"
Scarlet raised her chin and pridefully replied: "Take a guess?"
"I can't" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Hehe, the Scorpion is me" Scarlet replied.
"How did that happen?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Scarlet patiently explained: "This is a unique Star Force technique that grants me the power of a Star Beast of Death. Shroud said that this was the most powerful technique, but since time immemorial, almost no one had been able to complete it"
"But you did" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"It's all thanks to you lending me the Death flames scythe and teaching me how to mix drinks, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do it" Scarlet replied.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
So it was all because of me.
I have the power of [Distortion], but when I returned to this era, I ran into too many opponents that I couldn't win against.
The Samsara Apocalypse.
Reneedol.
The Lord of Infinite Origins.
Even the sealed entities that Boss mentioned.
Under such circumstances, what else can I change?
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered, glanced at Little Dusk who wasn't too far away, then at Scarlet.
Due to her success in condensing the Star Force, the girl's expression was full of joy.
A voice resounded from Gu Qing Shan's mind.
— — no matter what, I have to at least let them live.
Even if the Apocalypse is coming and monsters are rampaging, I have to let them have the right to live!
Gu Qing Shan's gaze slowly became determined.
He stood up and walked around the secret room.
Lachesis was the strongest of the three sisters of Fate, the one who controlled the Fate of the Deities, not even the Lord of Infinite Origins was able to corrupt her thoughts.
The Divine Artifact that millions of Deities forged for Lachesis in the past should be the strongest.
— — the best shortcut to obtaining even more power is to find this Divine Artifact!
But where should I find it?
To deceive Reneedol, Lachesis gave me a fake key.
How should I find clues about the True Divine Artifact?
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit, feeling a bit of a headache.
"Rhode, what are you doing?"
Seeing his troubled expression, Scarlet couldn't help but curiously ask.
"Don't mind me, I need to think about something" Gu Qing Shan waved her hand without turning around.
"Tell me, I'll help you think about it" Scarlet called out.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her and said: "You?"
"You dare look down on me? My Scorpio technique is known as the hardest Star Force technique in history! "Scarlet angrily said.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and asked with a smile: "Then how did you complete it?"
"I just kept trying, trying, and trying, and when I got tired, I would take a sip of liquor and finally completed the entire structure of the Scorpio technique!" Scarlet replied.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and was about to say something, but then stopped.
Try?
Try …
For some reason, Lachesis' words once again resounded in her mind.
"… It was only now that I've seen a bit of the trajectory of Fate … Death God, you are our only hope"
"… In the past, I had foreseen … that someone would act against our statues … so I placed a very powerful defensive force on the three statues to ensure that they were always undamaged"
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
The statues of the three Deities of Fate had already been broken into pieces by Reneedol.
Could it be, Lachesis had already foreseen this?
If she had truly foreseen this, then perhaps it was as she said, she had left something on the three statues in the past.
The statues — — -
Right.
The colorful rooster once said a few things about the statues.
— — it said that many of the secrets of the past era were hidden on the statues and murals of the Pantheon.
When Lachesis said that I was their only hope, was she trying to hint to me that she was entrusting something to me?
What could she possibly entrust to me?
The answer was obvious.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and silently stared at Scarlet.
"Rhode, what's the matter?" Scarlet asked in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan walked over and patted her shoulder: "Scarlet, you really are a genius!"
After saying so, he retreated into a mass of white fog and disappeared.
The divine palace of the Deity of Fate.
White fog filled the air.
Gu Qing Shan came out and looked around the divine palace.
Broken pieces of the statues were scattered everywhere.
It wasn't a simple matter to put all of them back together.
But Gu Qing Shan didn't seem troubled at all.
— — -at this point, he had completely calmed down.
He crouched down, picked up a piece of the statue, and muttered to himself:
"Lachesis, let me see what exactly you've hidden on the three statues"
