Beads of sweat started to form on Boss's forehead.
One of his hands was connected to the Lord of Infinite Origins' black tentacles, while the other hand was placed on the ground of ice.
A layer of crimson blood was circling around him, constantly moving about as if it was alive.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice: "What is it doing?"
Boss replied: "It's observing my potential"
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Deep within the ice, there was an unknown entity. This entity was able to create the Lord of Infinite Origins with a single puddle of blood, as well as the entire world that came to be.
It did this in order to fight against the Apocalypse.
Gu Qing Shan also understood this.
Boss must have had some sort of fortuitous encounter that no one knew about for him to be able to communicate with such an entity.
The puddle of blood would occasionally merge into Boss's body, then fly out and quickly circle around him. Finally, after a long period of probing, the puddle of blood was absorbed into the black tentacles and disappeared without a trace.
"Did you succeed?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss was trembling nonstop, then nodded to her and replied: "This is only the beginning"
Crimson lines of blood shot out from the ground and stabbed into his body one after another.
Without waiting for Gu Qing Shan to ask any further, he quickly continued: "I will begin to infiltrate the Lord of Infinite Origins' core and gradually replace it. This will be an extremely dangerous process, so make sure to not let anyone disturb me"
Gu Qing Shan, Scarlet, and Little Dusk all nodded.
Boss glanced at Gu Qing Shan, then silently sent his voice: "Both the Lord of Infinite Origins and I are currently in a defenseless state, any entity with the property of a Deity would have a chance to devour both of us"
"Gu Qing Shan, you have to protect me, make sure to not let anyone notice my current state, otherwise, everything will be over"
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank and sent her voice: "Understood"
Boss nodded and closed his eyes.
Only the Lord of Infinite Origins could support the entire Pantheon.
Given this, even if Gu Qing Shan and Reneedol worked together and had a way to kill the Lord of Infinite Origins, they wouldn't dare to try.
Because if he killed the other party, it would be equivalent to putting himself in a situation of certain death.
Whether or not Boss could successfully replace him would be the key to everyone's survival.
After understanding this, Gu Qing Shan immediately began to think.
How could they protect Boss?
The deities fighting in the sky, including Reneedol, were all deity-type existences!
It was best not to let them see Boss's current appearance.
Since that was the case …
Gu Qing Shan reached out her hand and took out a candle.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Causality Law item: Wishing candle]
"Single-use tools."
"A Divine Artifact of the Radiance Attribute. It possesses the power of karma."
"When you make a wish in front of a candle, your wish will come true."
[Usage: Light, make a wish, blow it out]
[Attention: This candle's power is extremely limited, if you want your wish to come true, you must complete the task that this candle requires of you]
There wasn't much time. After glancing through it and confirming the usage method, Gu Qing Shan immediately lit the candle.
A small flame appeared on the War God UI.
A line of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[Please make a wish!]
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes and made a wish: "Boss's condition will be noticed by anyone other than myself, Scarlet, and Little Dusk"
The candle was instantly burnt out.
The blinding flame arranged itself into a line of text in the void of space:
[You must attract the attention of all the Deities here, only then will this candle be able to secretly activate the power of Causality and make your wish come true]
After displaying the text, the flame quickly faded away.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze was still fixed on the void of space with a surprised expression.
This was actually quite reasonable.
If all the Deities were attracted by something else, the wishing candle would naturally be able to use its power of Causality to secretly influence them.
This was the only way to ensure that they wouldn't notice Boss's condition.
What should I do now?
"Ugh"
Boss suddenly uttered a low moan of pain as a bloody glow flickered on his body.
Gu Qing Shan's expression stiffened and hurriedly looked up at the sky.
Only to see that Reneedol was still leading her subordinates to fight against a large number of Deities who were surrounding her.
Since the battle was so intense, no one had noticed Boss for now.
All of a sudden, another bloody glow appeared on Boss's body.
This bloody glow was over 3 meters tall, although it quickly faded away, it was still a terrifying sight to behold.
Boss was drawing too much attention like this, so he would be noticed sooner or later.
Scarlet couldn't help but say: "How about I release my flames of Death to conceal the situation here?"
"No, that would only draw more attention" Gu Qing Shan immediately replied.
Little Dusk quickly drew a Card from the void of space.
She drew 12 Cards in a row, picked out one of them, and showed it to Gu Qing Shan.
It was a portrait of a woman with a veil over her face.
"A mask of goodwill, you can choose a scene from the past and show it to everyone" Little Dusk explained.
"That's possible!" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Little Dusk tossed the Card forward.
Instantly, the four of them were enveloped by a layer of light.
If someone were to look from the outside, they would see that the four of them were standing still, apparently talking to each other.
This was the scene of the four of them talking when Reneedol had just flown up to the sky.
"Now that's good, how long can this Card last?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"One minute" Little Dusk stuck out her tongue and said apologetically.
"…" Gu Qing Shan.
One minute isn't enough!
Seems like I'll have to do as the candle said and show up myself to attract the attention of the Deities.
… what should I do?
Gu Qing Shan's figure flew up to the sky, turned into Dark Magic Dragon whose body was enveloped in flames, and flew deeper into the sky.
Dark Magic Dragon's figure flickered a few times in the sky before it reached a place even higher than where the Deities were fighting.
It roared down below:
「 Silence! Silence! Listen to me 」
The two groups of Deities continued to fight, no one paid any attention to it.
Only a single Deity with a blank expression mocked: 「 I, the legendary God of Moe, why should I listen to you? 」
Saying so, he ignored the black dragon and leapt towards one of Reneedol's subordinates.
Hearing that, the black dragon silently felt a bit scared.
Dark Magic Dragon took a deep breath, opened its mouth, and breathed out endless dragon breath towards the battle below.
The two groups of Deities continued to fight while avoiding the dragon breath. Still, no one paid any attention to it.
"What are you trying to do!?" Reneedol took a moment to glare at him and coldly spoke: 「 If you're so weak, go play with two Deities like just now, the center of the battlefield isn't a place for you 」
Saying so, she leapt towards the other five Deities.
"…" Dark Magic Dragon.
This time, it was really pissed off.
Opening the War God UI, he selected the [War God Title] option, selected [Most Amorous Man] from the list, and locked onto the Title Skill [Makes Sense]!
[Makes Sense: Due to your unparalleled amorous charm, when you talk to someone, you can use this Mystic-type ability to make those who hear you feel that you're right]
[Attention: This Title Skill can only be used once per day]
The Dark Demonic Dragon took a deep breath and roared at all the deities below him.
「 You bunch of trash, the entire Pantheon is about to collapse and you're still fighting amongst yourselves. Why don't you first deal with the things that are suppressing the Pantheon, then fight again!? 」
The Deities slowly stopped fighting.
「 Makes sense 」 a Deity stared at the black dragon and said.
「 Hm, if we keep fighting like this, so what if we win? 」 another Deity said.
「 The way we're fighting, we can already predict that both sides would end up heavily injured, so why bother fighting? 」 another Deity said.
Reneedol muttered: "That's true, even if I win against the Lord of Infinite Origins, I wouldn't dare to kill him, so why not wait until the situation outside is resolved before fighting again?"
The battle ended without any reason.
About a few minutes later, the Deities with black tentacles sticking out of the back of their heads all froze.
They all looked up at Dark Magic Dragon in the sky at the same time.
「 What shocking power, you almost took away my control over the Deities, how did you do that? 」 all the Deities spoke up at once.
The one who spoke was the Lord of Infinite Origins!
Dark Magic Dragon quickly realized, but his main job right now was to attract everyone's attention, so he naturally wouldn't get nervous.
「 Ahem … it's a long story, but it's actually a unique Title Skill 」 Dark Magic Dragon replied.
「 Ah? What's a Title Skill? 」 the Lord of Infinite Origins borrowed the Deities to ask.
Dark Magic Dragon's heart jumped.
What?
There's no such thing as a Title Skill?
He turned to look at Reneedol, only to see that Reneedol also appeared interested and was seriously listening.
No matter who it was, as long as they were Combatants who pursued power, as soon as they saw a type of power that had never appeared before, they would want to immediately understand its power and origin.
At this moment, both the Lord of Infinite Origins and Reneedol were attracted by this new power.
Dark Magic Dragon's thoughts quickly moved.
Although the Lord of Infinite Origins' [Makes sense] was dispelled by him, he still managed to attract everyone's attention. I can't screw up at this moment.
Boss is still on the ground, secretly cutting off the Lord of Infinite Origins' escape route.
I need to buy him some time!
Dark Magic Dragon took another deep breath and replied: "The so-called Title Skill is actually a long story"
"The reason why I know about this skill is because of my personal experience"
"A long time ago, when I crawled out from a pile of corpses, I ran into a patrol with a lantern in his hand …"
"… That squad leader smirked and told me to die, then used his blade to cut me …"
"Wait a minute, I think we're talking about Title Skills" the Lord of Infinite Origins said.
"We're almost there" the Black Dragon impatiently waved his claw.
He continued:
"Then on the road, I met two people, one was called Gongsun Zhi, the other was called Ning Yuechan …"
"I went to Bai Hua sect to ask for help, at the time, there was a goose standing on top of a rock, asking people to compose poems …"
"Then I began to cultivate, I have a senior brother, he doesn't know anything, but he's a great cook …"
"Where I come from, the Apocalypse is especially powerful, so we like to cultivate a bit more, but he likes to go to brothels …"
"Stop!" Reneedol glared at him, "Can't you get to the point, what exactly is a Title Skill?"
Dark Magic Dragon glared at her and said: "I'm about to get to the point, why are you in such a hurry?"
Reneedol had no choice but to restrain her impatience.
After a while.
"And then …"
"During the semester examination, someone bullied my junior sister … don't you think he's disgusting?"
"Of course I wouldn't forgive him, but guess what I did?"
"Enough!!!"
The Lord of Infinite Origins and Reneedol couldn't hold themselves back anymore and shouted in anger.
