After unleashing [Ethereal Shadows], Gu Qing Shan silently waited in the air to see if the white flame skeleton would return.
While waiting, he took a moment to look at the War God UI.
Lines of glowing text that appeared during the previous battle were still there:
[You've obtained a unique item: Frozen Corpse's white bones]
[This item is one of the six components of the frozen corpse's remains]
[This item has now fused with the 'Retribution Hound's military cap' to form the white bone gauntlet you're wearing right now]
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
Finally, I don't have to run around with a dog's head on my back anymore.
However, this is a manifestation of the remains of a supreme entity from the void, so its power must be unimaginable.
Gu Qing Shan continued to stare at the void of space and read down:
[Gauntlet: Frozen Bones]
[A product of Apocalypse Resonance, in a state of suspended animation, the following abilities are available:]
[Total Annihilation: All defensive equipment struck by this gauntlet will immediately shatter]
[Frozen Touch: This gauntlet was created from the fusion of the Keeper of the Seals and the frozen corpse's white bones. When you wear it, you will not be attacked by the remains of other frozen corpses, allowing you to better sense where the frozen corpse's remains are buried]
[Mystery of Apocalypse Resonance (Intermediate): The Apocalypse views you as one of its kind]
[Temporary Manifestation: Whenever you obtain a frozen corpse's part, you will immediately be able to use that part's power, specifics unknown]
[Awaken: When you obtain the frozen corpse's parts hidden within the six Sealing Tokens, they will awaken together with Shroud to become the new Secret Apocalypse]
[Parasitic Power: It must be worn or held in your hand in order to absorb the power of Death from your body and maintain its existence]
[Shroud's will is with you]
Gu Qing Shan quickly finished reading through.
Destroy all defensive equipment?
This was an interesting ability.
But I don't have the time to slowly experience the power of this gauntlet.
While the white flame skeleton is temporarily unable to escape, it's time to search for the next location of the frozen corpse's remains.
The white bone gauntlet gave off a series of senses that quickly helped Gu Qing Shan determine his location.
"Is it … in that direction?"
He looked at the sky, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the isolation of the world and cast towards some unknown place.
A gust of wind blew.
He rode the wind upwards, directly breaking through the darkness, cutting open the world barrier, completely disappearing from Doomsday Cemetery.
The space turbulence.
In the dark void, strong winds kept blowing.
Gu Qing Shan flew towards a certain direction with all her might.
The next Frozen Corpse Component was in this direction.
However, he didn't fly for long before he suddenly stopped in midair and looked at the darkness not far away with surprise in his eyes.
"Eh? This aura … it's so close to me … Oh well, I'm afraid it won't take long. It can even help me increase my strength … "
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.
He changed his direction and flew towards another part of the space vortex.
After a quarter of an hour.
He stopped in the void and looked into the distance.
There was a stone that was constantly emitting yellow mist.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
"With the Sacrificial Dance, you killed and transformed countless undead in the River of Life and Death."
"And now, you've discovered the Huang Quan fragment that they're in"
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
During the Sacrificial Dance, the lady had told me that all the undead that were transformed would appear in the Huang Quan fragment that was closest to the Doomsday Cemetery.
And now, I've found this fragment on the way.
Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and flew towards the stone that was emitting white mist.
As soon as he got within a certain range, he was enveloped by the mist and disappeared without a trace.
…
The world was dusky.
Sand and wind filled the air, leaving only its afterglow.
A boundless river flowed across the entire world.
The river was yellow and the water flowed rapidly.
A black metal-like mountain sat by the river bank, completely empty.
Gu Qing Shan slowly descended from the sky.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword flew out and continuously vibrated around him.
"Come" Gu Qing Shan said.
The sword turned back into a blue-dress maid, looked down at the vast world and joyfully spoke:
"Gongzi, it's been a long time since I've seen the world of Huang Quan"
"That's right, I'm also a bit nostalgic" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them both looked at this Huang Quan world.
"This fragment isn't very big, I can't sense any other Divine Armaments" Shannu sighed.
"Strange, why are there so many dead people everywhere?" Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
The Heaven sword also flew out and curiously looked around.
Luo Bingli's voice came from the Heaven sword: "Hmph, aren't these the undead you created from the River of Life and Death?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I thought they would just reincarnate"
The Earth sword's heavy mountainous voice followed: 「 Tsk tsk, they don't seem to be bound by the Law of Huang Quan, not only did they not reincarnate, they even established their own forces here 」
Gu Qing Shan looked up at the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
Countless undead creatures were gathered on top of the mountain.
According to their strength, they each took a piece of territory, occasionally fighting amongst themselves.
"Shannu, you've stayed in Huang Quan for a long time, can you tell me what's going on here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Shannu scowled and thought for a bit before answering: "Gongzi, for Huang Quan, these dead people only appeared out of nowhere. They don't have a past life, so they don't have karma, good or evil, nor do they have any predestined fate, so they aren't bound by the Law of Huang Quan"
Gu Qing Shan understood and nodded: "So that's why"
At this point, a figure flew down from the top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and stopped in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Atley.
During the Age of Immemorial, Atley who studied the Law of the world together and fought alongside Shroud and Gu Qing Shan.
"Rhode, we meet again"
Atley casually said.
He clapped his hands.
Immediately, all the dead on the ground and on the mountain stopped fighting and looked up at the sky.
"This is the world of the dead, dead people here are undying. I really want to know if you've chased after me again to kill me" Atley coldly spoke.
On the ground, the dead all roared in unwillingness.
Gu Qing Shan didn't seem to notice at all and simply looked at Atley, recalling how he was under the Deity of Fate's control and how he cried tears of regret before he died.
"Hah, Atley, I heard that Shroud once tried to save you and Epta, why did you refuse?" Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked.
Atley calmly replied: "He did indeed come to the River of Death. At the time, he was the strongest entity in the world, the boundless Lord of Radiance, while I was only a dead soul. Even if I was taken away like Epta, I would only be sleeping in a different place, waiting for you to save me in the future"
"What's wrong with that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Atley's tone became a bit incomprehensible: "One of you is the Lord of Radiance, the other is the Deity of Death, and what about me? What would I do after being saved by you? Would I be grateful to you, then continue to be your lackey? Or perhaps you need a flattering servant? "
"No, we treated you as a comrade, that's why we saved you" Gu Qing Shan corrected him.
"But I'll never be able to catch up to you" Atley replied.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "You're being too stubborn about that. You see, I can't even win against the flaming skeleton, but when it comes to dancing, cooking, and mixing drinks, it can't compare to me in any of those three aspects"
Atley stared closely at her, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed maniacally, loudly shouting: "How fake, your excellency God of Death, you and Shroud stole the authority of the River of Life and Death, one was the Lord of the Realm of Life, the other was the Lord of the River of Death. It wasn't until the very end that you were afraid that your reputation would be tarnished that you remembered that you still had companions to save. At this point, Epta and I had already endured countless years of torture in the cold and dark River of Death!"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "You're wrong, Atley. We've always kept you in mind, but we truly had something we had to do"
"What was it?" Atley asked.
"We needed to survive first, then ensure that the world wouldn't be destroyed" Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied.
"Then why didn't you save us first? Weren't we your comrades? "Atley coldly smirked.
Shannu couldn't help but cut in: "You're too selfish. My gongzi had to go through countless hardships to leave the Age of Immemorial alive, Shroud was also constantly under Reneedol's control and only slowly awakened after dying once. Why do you always blame them, but never think about what you've done wrong?"
"I wasn't wrong! I just wasn't strong enough! "Atley angrily shouted.
"Is that so?" Luo Bingli also manifested, dressed as a female cultivator, and coldly spoke: "The ones who killed you were the Deity of Fate and the other Divinities, perhaps even Reneedol's instigation, so why haven't you taken revenge yet?"
The Earth sword spoke with a resounding voice: 「 A single person, not even avenging their own death and instead blaming their former comrades, is there any meaning to that? 」
The Chao Yin sword also let out a dissatisfied 'wu wu' sound.
Atley was temporarily speechless.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and said: "Go, Atley, go reincarnate, if you can do it all over again, you might be able to go even further, even further than Shroud and I"
He continued: "I have a gift for you, this is the last"
Atley abruptly cut him off and abruptly shouted: "Go!"
On the ground, the dead gave off an innumerable roar of response.
They all took to the sky, flying towards Gu Qing Shan's direction and quickly surrounded him.
"Ahahaha, Rhode, this isn't the River of Death, it's not your concern, and we can't die in this world, let's see how you're going to win against us!"
Atley laughed maniacally and made a gesture.
Roar!!!
The dead all roared full of killing intent, drew their weapons, and rushed forward.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
Even when all the weapons were about to hit him, he still didn't move.
Clang clang clang!
The four swords circled around him, blocking all the attacks.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Atley.
Atley's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Gu Qing Shan pulled her gaze back and sighed: "Our friendship is gone"
His body shook, bypassing the encirclement of the dead and flew higher into the sky.
"Listen, I don't have any grudges against you, I only saved you from the hands of the Apocalypse!"
He shouted at the densely packed dead people below.
"Saved? We originally had enough power to go against everything, but now we're trapped here with nothing! "Atley shouted.
"That's right"
"That's right, it's all because of this River of Life and Death's God"
"We could have conquered the infinite worlds!"
The dead roared in anger and swung their weapons.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Listen to me, hurry and reincarnate, otherwise you'll really die if you're trapped here, I'm begging you!"
The dead didn't seem to hear her at all, gripped their weapons tightly, turned into a torrent of metal, and continued to fly higher.
Gu Qing Shan appeared helpless.
At some unknown point, a staff had appeared in his hand.
As the tip of the staff glowed with a blinding red glow, the hesitant expression on his face slowly faded and turned into emotionlessness and indifference.
「 It's over 」 the Earth sword muttered.
