The ground was covered in pure white snow.
However.
A dark river flowed forward, spreading and expanding across the snowy ground.
On both sides of the river, the flame skeleton and Gu Qing Shan were summoning more and more undead.
「 Death God, you've been gone for too long, the River of Death no longer belongs to you 」
Below the dark wall, the flame skeleton snickered.
The axe in its hand turned into a bone staff that gave off a grey mist that quickly enveloped the dark river.
「 Come out, King of Giants, regardless of life or death, the Apocalypse needs your help! 」
The flame skeleton quickly chanted.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Following the sound of heavy footsteps, a giant clad in heavy armor stepped out from the river.
Standing on the ground, he angrily shouted: 「 I am the King of Giants of the River of Death, undead who submit to me, join me in slaying my enemies! 」
The deafening roar resounded across the entire Doomsday Cemetery.
Slowly, a dense horde of undead appeared from the dark river.
The various species that were slumbering in the River of Death climbed up to the riverbank, their eyes glowing coldly as they stared at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the giant in surprise.
He's clearly a dead, but the presence of both the Apocalypse and Death emanating from the giant makes it hard to tell if he's a dead or an apocalyptic monster.
Has the Apocalypse infected the River of Death to this extent?
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit heavy.
The giant waded ashore and spoke in a low voice: 「 Death God, your time has come 」
Just as he was about to declare war, Gu Qing Shan had already opened his palm and chanted: 「 The flames of Death devour all dead, forcing them to slumber 」
A cluster of black flames manifested in his hand.
Gu Qing Shan casually tossed it out.
The black flames dragged a long trail of flames behind them, quickly growing to become an overwhelming inferno that struck the giant.
The giant took a few steps back and roared, wanting to resist the power of the Law of Death.
It was like a walking cluster of black flames.
「 I still have the power of the Apocalypse, don't try to use death to bind me! 」
The giant quickly walked towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan clapped her hands.
「 Explode 」
He whispered.
The raging flames soared into the sky, emitting crackling sounds.
The giant's speed became slower and slower, and finally fell to the ground.
Its body gradually melted, but it still called out,
"With my slumber, I summon the king of the River of Death to lead all the undead to kill the Grim Reaper!"
With that, the giant's entire body turned into a mass of black water and fell back into the dark river.
It would once again fall into a deep slumber in the depths of the Dead River until there was enough power to wake it up again.
"Roar!"
All the undead roared in unison, as if they were welcoming a noble existence.
An indescribable aura appeared.
The surging river parted to two sides, revealing a figure.
It was a human male.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him, her eyes gradually darkening.
"Rhode, you didn't expect it to be me, did you?" the man said.
"I really didn't think it would be you, Atley" Gu Qing Shan said.
"It can't be helped, you helped Shroud, but left me to die in that era" Atley coldly replied.
During the Age of Immemorial, he was the young Atley who grew up and went through many dangers together with Shroud and Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan put the flames in her hand away and explained: "I'm sorry, I left that long period of time because I had something urgent to do"
Atley silently chuckled and slowly continued:
"Back then, when I was killed and thrown into the River of Death, I had hoped that you would take care of me as the Grim Reaper. But over the long years, I suffered countless hardships, but you never appeared"
Gu Qing Shan silently listened.
Atley pointed at the undead that appeared one after another in the River of Death and angrily shouted: "As the Grim Reaper, when did you ever take care of us undead? How are you worthy of being the ruler of the River of Death?"
The undead all roared in indignation, as if accusing the Grim Reaper of his crimes.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and simply looked around.
The River of Death continued to boil, turning the earth into sand and mud, turning it into a river.
The entire Doomsday Cemetery was turning into a River of Death!
The River of Death shouldn't normally appear in the Realm of Life, but the white flame skeleton had used the power of the Apocalypse to construct a high wall around the Doomsday Cemetery, turning this place into a unique zone.
Within the range of this wall, there was both the constantly expanding River of Death and the Apocalypse Wall formed by the endless Apocalypses.
Just as the rooster said, this was the beginning of destruction!
"Speechless, right? Fine, we don't really have anything to say to each other"
Atley simply gestured towards the River of Death.
"The Grim Reaper gave up on the River of Death, fortunately, the Apocalypse appeared and helped me, granting me power and allowing me to slowly grow stronger"
Following his explanation, a giant dragon covered in grey mist broke through the water surface and took to the sky.
Gu Qing Shan's pupils dilated.
There's a dragon race as well?
The dragon race sided with the Apocalypse?
He became very cautious.
The damn fatty hurriedly wrote a sign and raised it in front of him:
"Brother Gu, this is a dragon that the Apocalypse created using me as the original, it's a replica of me"
Gu Qing Shan whispered: "Is it the same as your original strength?"
The damn fatty wrote another sign and raised it:
"No, I noticed the Apocalypse's scheme and hid a bit of my strength, so this dragon only knows how to bite and roll around, it doesn't understand our dragon race's true fighting style"
The damn fatty raised his chin and raised another sign:
"It's a pirated product, pirated products are still lacking in taste, it's completely different from my original, brother Gu, you should understand"
Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances with him.
Both of them had the same strange look in their eyes.
"So that's how it is, then that's good" Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
The damn fatty didn't even dare to say anything in fear of hurting someone.
If this Dragon Hex was replicated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, the damn fatty was smart enough.
The dragon race had always been a smart race.
The white flame skeleton raised its voice: 「 Death God, why do you think I wanted to fight you just now? Now is the time to reveal the answer 」
It reached its bone staff into the dark wall behind it and shouted: 「 Shadow Apocalypse, manifested from the power of countless Apocalypses! 」
A figure slowly appeared from inside the wall.
The figure broke through the wall and appeared in front of everyone.
Gu Qing Shan.
The other Gu Qing Shan.
He knelt in front of the white flame skeleton and muttered: "I've grasped all the combat skills just now, including the power of Death, I've also fully replicated it"
A cluster of black flames appeared from his body.
The power of the Death God!
Three more flying swords manifested behind the clone Gu Qing Shan.
He had also grasped the power of flying swords!
The white flame skeleton looked at the real Gu Qing Shan and loudly declared: 「 Death God, you've given up on the undead in the River of Death, we shall now create a new Death God to rule over all the undead! 」
A line of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[Attention: You've been replicated by the Shadow Apocalypse]
[This Apocalypse can only take effect once, but it will be able to fully replicate all of the abilities you've displayed]
Gu Qing Shan silently read through everything she had displayed just now.
The white flame skeleton laughed.
It lightly tapped the kneeling clone Gu Qing Shan with its bone staff.
The clone Gu Qing Shan stood up, leapt up, and landed next to Atley.
"Undead! We shall now welcome a new Death God, he will not abandon you, he will lead you through all obstacles and assist you in every possible way "the clone Gu Qing Shan declared to the undead.
"Everything he knows, I know, we'll focus all of our power to kill him!" the clone told Atley.
Atley nodded, thought for a bit, then loudly called out to Gu Qing Shan: "Rhode, do you have anything to say before you die?"
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He shook his head: "I have something I need to make clear to you, as well as to all of you undead who have surrendered to the Apocalypse, this is also for you"
Atley stood on the Dragon of Death's back, looking down at Gu Qing Shan.
The undead were also silently staring back at him.
Gu Qing Shan loudly declared: "In truth, the reason why I didn't go to the River of Death to see you was because I had something important to do, otherwise the entire River of Time would have been destroyed; other than that, there was one more important thing"
His tone became solemn:
"I will now make my stance clear in front of all of you"
"Regardless of whether you're alive or dead, none of you should think about relying on the Death God for protection"
"The Death God will never help you, nor will he actively protect any of you undead"
Attlee and the rest of the undead fell into silence as they listened to the cold words.
Gu Qing Shan's voice resounded again:
"Unless"
"Take up your weapons and fight against the Apocalypse for the things that are worth protecting"
"Only then will the Death God be by your side"
