[Pure Man]!
This line of text silently hovered above Gu Qing Shan's head, giving off a faint glow as if declaring something.
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change at all, but he was silently surprised.
— — -if the Dusty World cares so much about Titles, why would they make such a joke about my Title?
Before he could say anything, Lola had already asked: "Excuse me, why is he the [Pure Man]?"
"This is the decision of the entire Dusty World's collective will, representing the world's initial view of you — — - both your and his Titles are like that, the meaning behind it is so profound that I can't explain it with just a few words" the woman replied.
Saying so, she swung the short stick in her hand and tapped the glowing text above Gu Qing Shan's head.
Gu Qing Shan sensed it.
He looked at the void of space to see lines of glowing text appearing one after another:
[You've obtained the Title: [Pure Man]
[This is the first Occultism Title you've ever obtained]
[When you equip this Title, you'll obtain the power of Occultism: Pure]
[Pure: The entire Dusty World has proven your innocence, no one will be able to slander you for no reason]
[— — -when you're in the middle of any event, remember, you are innocent]
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
He had many Titles before, simple ones like [Sword 15], practical ones like [Shen Wei General], strange ones like [Starflame War God], but he had never heard of a Title as strange as [Pure Man] before.
He was already speechless.
The glowing woman slightly bowed to the two of them and said: "Your initial Titles have been determined, please reach the end of the passage to enter the Dusty World"
Saying so, she turned into sprites of light and disappeared in front of their eyes.
Silence returned.
Gu Qing Shan brought Lola forward.
"Lola …"
"Hm?"
"What's the use of your Title, do you know?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
Lola said: "You mean the 'Returning Blood of Thorns'? The [Order] UI gave me an explanation, saying that I've received the favor and welcome of the Dusty World, I won't take a detour or get lost, the Bramble Bird ancestral spirit will explain the surrounding environment to me — — – I will be able to walk all the way to the center of the world "
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
Look at him!
He would not get lost, nor would he take a detour. He would reach the center of the world.
The whole world was welcoming her!
Look at yourself!
Innocence!
I need to be innocent?
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and stopped herself from thinking further. She regained her composure.
He brought Lola all the way to the end of the passage.
"Wow — Gu Qing Shan, look!" Lola exclaimed.
Gu Qing Shan stood at the entrance of the passageway and looked into the dark void outside. She could not help but feel shocked in her heart.
The River of Time!
This river that was originally hidden within the Laws of Time had manifested in front of their eyes.
What was even more spectacular was that the river was hovering above their heads. Standing at the entrance of the passageway, Gu Qing Shan and Lola could clearly see the bottom of the river.
Countless streams of time were entangling, chasing, swirling, forming a giant whirlpool at the bottom of the River of Time.
At the center of the whirlpool, there was a blurry scene.
At first glance, it seemed to be a continent, but at the same time, it was also displaying various strange images. It was completely unaffected by the whirlpool of time and continued to stand there without moving.
"That's unbelievable, Gu Qing Shan, look, the River of Time can't do anything to this place!" Lola loudly exclaimed.
"That's right, or rather, it is using the River of Time to create an independent stream of time for itself" Gu Qing Shan observed the scene and commented.
At this point, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You've discovered the entrance to the Dusty World]
[The Dusty World has also discovered you]
[Due to your Occultism identity, the Dusty World believes that you are a man with a clean background]
[— — -no, strictly speaking, you are a pure boy]
[At this moment, you have been summoned by the Dusty World and are about to enter its outskirts]
At the very next moment, Gu Qing Shan felt an immense pulling force.
Both he and Lola were being pulled by some sort of force through the River of Time and into that scene.
…
There was no one on the cold, damp street.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola slowly descended and stood next to a dim street lamp.
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
Below them was a small stone path that extended all the way to the corner of the alley.
— — -all the other street lamps were broken, only the one in front of them was still barely able to illuminate their surroundings.
It was currently raining, the entire city was shrouded in a frigid mist, as if a gigantic monster was lurking in the darkness, ready to devour its prey at any moment.
"This is the Dusty World?" Gu Qing Shan asked in disbelief.
"Where do you think it doesn't look like it?" Lola asked.
"These buildings are too normal, I don't see anything noteworthy" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"It's currently midnight, Gu Qing Shan"
After saying so, Lola suddenly gestured for her to keep quiet.
Gu Qing Shan instantly went silent.
The two of them noticed something and looked up at the same time.
Within the freezing rain, a small transparent glowing bird flew down from the night sky and lightly landed on top of the street lamp.
The bird stared closely at Lola and chirped something.
Lola appeared to be listening.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then realized.
— — that's right, Lola's title was the [Returning Bramble Bramble Blood], the spirit of the Bramble Bird race would come and explain everything to her.
The glowing bird spoke to Lola for a bit before disappearing.
"What is it? Did you find anything? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lola stared blankly at the direction where the bird disappeared, then explained: "This is one of the cities at the very edge of the Dusty World, we need to quickly think of a way to leave this place"
"Why?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lola replied: "Because this place is the closest to the River of Time outside, one day is equivalent to 10 days outside. In other words, time is still passing for us here"
Gu Qing Shan sharply asked: "The deeper we go into the Dusty World, the slower time will flow?"
"Correct!" Lola replied.
"Then what are we waiting for? Point a direction, I'll take you there" Gu Qing Shan said.
Lola shook her head: "That's not the case. Coming to this city means we've accepted its shelter, we need to gain its recognition before we can leave"
"How do we gain its recognition?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Let this city bestow us with a higher title" Lola replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
— — no wonder the woman in the passage wanted to confirm my and Lola's initial titles.
It turns out that titles are very important in the Dusty World, equivalent to a sort of passport.
Titles also had different kinds of powers.
"Alright, let's think of a way to quickly be bestowed a title by this city" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"My Ancestral Spirit said that from the moment we entered this city, our every action would affect the birth of our new titles"
While the two of them were talking, some noise could be heard from the dark alleyway.
Only to see 5-5 drunken men walking out from the darkness.
"Look, such a rare and beautiful little girl" one of the drunken men called out.
The other men turned to Lola.
The leader of the men stepped forward and muttered: "Such a rare piece of trash … whether it's offering her to the sirs or selling her, it'll be a great deal of money"
The leader stepped forward and said: "Sell her? You've lost your mind! If such a girl is used as an offering … "
He walked towards Gu Qing Shan and shouted: "Hey, you bastard, are you going to sell the little girl on your shoulder?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Not for sale"
The man's eyes suddenly turned black as he smirked: "That's not up to you to decide"
He drew two daggers — — -
A cold gleam. The man froze in place.
Bam!
His head fell to the ground and rolled far away.
At the same time, the other men were also killed with a single slash.
Lola was surprised: "Gu Qing Shan, why did you kill them without even saying a few words? You weren't like this before "
"There's a very evil presence on them, this presence makes me uncomfortable" Gu Qing Shan replied without showing any emotions.
In truth, as the Death God of the River of Life and Death, the Devil King of Huang Quan, he had already noticed the evil presence on them.
— — -they have to be killed.
"This city seems a bit off, let's take a look around" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Alright" Lola agreed.
As the two of them were about to leave, a series of rustling noises came from behind them.
The dead men had revived and stood up from the ground.
"That pitiful bastard, did he really think he could kill us with a single cold weapon?" the leader smirked.
The men behind him also laughed.
Their bodies suddenly emitted a strange aura, as if something had awakened within their bodies.
Gu Qing Shan stood still without turning around.
A split second later — — -
A large hole was opened in each of the drunkards' chests, blood splattered everywhere.
"No … how did you know … where we were hiding …" the leader was unwilling to accept this.
Before he could finish his words, they collapsed to the ground, no longer breathing.
— — -they were really dead this time.
Within the cold rain, faint sword images hovered in the air, only fading away after a long while.
Lines of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[As the enemy's combat skills were too poor, their strength was no different from an ant's, you only needed a single strike before the Causality Sword helped you discover their fatal weakness]
[Your Karmaless Sword (Passive Skill) has been activated]
[You've killed 5 fallen ones]
