The girl flew down from the city wall and landed next to Gu Qing Shan.
She smiled: "What an interesting fighting style, seems like we won't have to go to another point in history"
In the sky.
Three skeletons were circling around the giant monsters.
— — -they were flying through the night sky.
Four swords appeared on the backs of each skeleton, closely following them. They would fly out according to their will and attack those giant monsters at any time.
Gu Qing Shan had a total of four swords.
So the skeletons also had four swords — — -
But their swords didn't have the power of a Divine Armament.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the battle in the sky and asked: "Don't we need to change history?"
The girl replied: "We don't have the power to point fingers at history, not to mention, changing history is a huge matter"
Gu Qing Shan agreed.
— — the power of [Distortion] is extremely rare, it wouldn't easily appear in this world, even the Apocalypses found this power troublesome.
If we don't want to change history, then what are we doing here?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, the girl spoke again:
"Just as I said before, in just a few moments, it will be the first time in history that a Sacred Artifact is destroyed, in other words — — -"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Right now, all the Sacred Artifacts are still intact"
The girl continued: "Indeed, we are only here to win their recognition before they are destroyed — — as long as any of the Sacred Artifacts acknowledge you, we will be able to return to the future"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "I have a question, in this current era, have there been people who have awakened their Realm Powers?"
"If there were such people, the city wouldn't have been shrouded in darkness" the girl replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded in understanding.
The girl looked at the sky and said: "The moment when the Sacred Artifacts are destroyed is about to arrive, we need to get there now"
"Got it"
Gu Qing Shan replied.
He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
The ancient, desolate music once again resounded in the night sky.
In the void of space.
The silhouettes of skeletons gradually appeared.
They all descended from the sky, landing behind Gu Qing Shan and neatly lined up behind him.
"Go"
Gu Qing Shan snapped her fingers.
The skeletons roared in unison, passed by him and the girl, and flew forward.
In the hands of each skeleton, there was a long, black, and thick tube-shaped object.
"What's that?" the girl suddenly asked.
"It's a type of archaic machine gun, a Technological item" Gu Qing Shan explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, the night sky was illuminated.
Da da da da da da!
Dense lines of fire fell from the sky, like a flaming waterfall sweeping across the earth, plowing through the entire battlefield.
The skeletons continued to line up and fly forward.
The other three skeletons were originally fighting with the huge monster, but they also stopped at this time. They pulled out the long steel cannon from their back one after another, and aimed at the place where the monsters were concentrated.
Boom!
The deafening explosion attracted the attention of all the monsters in the city.
The young girl frowned and said, "If this goes on, we'll be tied down here."
"It's not us who are being held back, it's the monsters."
As Gu Qing Shan spoke, she sheathed her swords and called out to her,
"Alright, let them fight, we're going straight to the monastery"
"How?" the girl asked.
"Please give me your hand"
The girl took his hand.
A cluster of white fog appeared and circled around the two of them.
They disappeared.
On another side.
Inside the monastery.
It was still the same secluded corner.
The white fog descended.
The two of them showed themselves.
The girl looked around and said: "We arrived just in time, if we could make it in time, the Holy Artifacts would still not have been separated"
"Separated? Were the Holy Artifacts originally kept together? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, because we couldn't win against those monsters, to preserve the Holy Artifacts, the Bishop ordered them to be kept separately" the girl explained.
At this point, a series of chaotic footsteps came from outside. Someone shouted: "Who's there? Are they monsters or our people? "
"Captain, they shouldn't be our people"
The sound of weapons being unsheathed resounded.
"Stay alert, let's go take a look!"
"Understood!"
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Layers of holy light suddenly appeared from the girl's body, illuminating both her and Gu Qing Shan.
"This is our camp, I can guarantee that we won't be discovered by our own people" the girl said.
"That's quite convenient" Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
A squad of fully-armored knights suddenly appeared at the end of the road.
They rushed forward, looking around with confused expressions.
— — -there was nothing.
"Go! Reinforce the front gate! "the knight captain ordered.
They left.
"Right, where are the Holy Artifacts?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The cathedral!" the girl replied.
The two of them exchanged glances, then flew towards the cathedral.
The cathedral was brightly lit.
12 Holy Wizards, 4 Cardinals, and the Archbishop were all here.
Gu Qing Shan and the girl went past these people, directly standing behind them, and looked at the four Holy Artifacts that were being enshrined on the table.
A pure white cloth crown inlaid with jewels.
An old shroud.
A bloodstained flail.
A Golden Apple.
As the two of them stood in front of the Holy Artifacts, the girl immediately unleashed a holy light that enveloped the four Holy Artifacts.
She sighed in relief and said: "Your fighting prowess was quite high, far beyond my expectations, that's why we were able to make it in time before the other Holy Artifacts were taken away"
"What now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The girl looked at him and solemnly told him: "Anyone who comes into contact with Realm Power for the first time can only awaken one type of Realm Power"
"At this moment, the four Holy Artifacts are all staring at you. They represent four different World Spirits, each corresponding to a different type of Realm Power"
"The Holy Crown corresponds to the power of redemption, the Shroud represents sacrifice, the Flail will connect you with the world, allowing you to obtain the holy power of slaughter, and the Golden Apple will grant you a special and elusive power."
"Now, you will need to confess your thoughts in front of them"
"Because you can only awaken one type of Realm Power, the four Holy Artifacts will discuss among themselves, then one of them will resonate with you and open a unique path of Realm Power cultivation for you"
"Begin!"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and hesitantly said: "I want to become stronger and defeat the Apocalypse"
"That's … it?" the girl asked.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied.
A second later, something happened — — -
The four Holy Artifacts began to vibrate at the same time.
They began to hover together, circling around Gu Qing Shan.
The girl was stunned.
She muttered blankly: "That's impossible … anyone who comes into contact with a Holy Artifact for the first time can only open a path of Realm Power cultivation, just who are you — — -"
As she spoke, her expression was already filled with vigilance.
Gu Qing Shan immediately knew that the situation wasn't good.
If the other party no longer trusts me, the entire ritual will be interrupted and I won't be able to obtain Realm Power.
"You can tell if a person is lying or telling the truth. Come, please place your hand on my chest again, I can tell you my conjecture" he sincerely said.
The girl immediately placed her hand on his chest.
"I've never come into contact with Realm Power before" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The girl nodded.
"I'm guessing — — the reason why this happened is because my soul has been released, allowing me to cultivate any power I want" Gu Qing Shan said.
The girl nodded again, but then shook her head: "You're telling the truth, but releasing one's soul is something that only exists in legends, even mortals can't release their souls, how did you do it?"
Her expression had returned to normal.
— — -seems like this man in front of me really did have some fortuitous encounters.
This kind of thing was still considered normal.
To be able to survive for so long and reach the point where they're about to awaken Realm Power, which Combatant wouldn't have some fortuitous encounters?
Seeing that the other party had regained her trust, Gu Qing Shan smiled and explained: "It was after a battle that I awakened the remnant image of the Creator Deities, that Deity released my soul"
His words were supposed to end here.
The girl originally didn't want to ask any further, but her lips twitched and finally spoke:
"You're wrong"
"Hm? What's wrong? "Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
"Deities are only beings of Laws, their starting point is higher than living beings, but even they can't allow a mortal to cultivate four different Realm Powers at once — — in other words, the release of your soul is real, but it definitely wasn't the Deities who granted you the release of your soul" the girl sincerely replied.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
— — not the Deities?
Then what kind of entity would grant me the release of my soul?
Noticing his emotions, the girl continued: "Rather than thinking about the entity that pretended to be a Deity, it's better to think about another question"
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The girl looked at him with an inquisitive gaze and muttered: "The release of my soul isn't a simple matter, so who exactly are you?"
Gu Qing Shan was stumped and didn't know how to answer this question.
Standing there, he felt like he was standing on a lonely island.
As if nothing in the world had anything to do with him.
— — who knew this would happen?
Originally, he came here to obtain Realm Power, but then he unexpectedly discovered a mystery.
A mystery that couldn't be solved.
The girl was still pressing her hand against his chest, only now did she nod and slowly move her hand away.
"I believe that you are being honest — — you don't know your origins, nor do you know anything, so the current situation isn't because of some evil thought on your part"
The girl's voice slowly became gentle and continued: "As your companion, I can only remind you to think carefully — — before and after your soul was released, did something eerie happen?"
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Something eerie.
That's right.
I went to see the giant corpse.
And then … there was a monster that knew my name — — - even the giant corpse couldn't deal with it.
Following Gu Qing Shan's recollections, the scene from that time once again appeared in his mind.
— — -that monster.
Its head rolled to the ground, looking at me with an indescribable expression.
It said:
「 Pitiful 」
