The sun was shining brightly.
A screen of light descended from the dry and cracked ground.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola appeared.
"It looks like a barren wasteland" Lola commented.
Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes as he observed his surroundings.
In truth, he was checking the lines of glowing text in the void of space:
[You've killed the spirit of the Holy Evil Artifact]
[You've obtained 100 Realm Points]
Realm Points?
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the UI, only to see that the 'Soul Points' value had disappeared, replaced by 'Realm Points'.
"Hey, are we not going to calculate Soul Points anymore?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The War God UI replied: [You've crossed the chasm of power and stepped onto the stage of the strong, from now on, Realm Points will be used as the unit of calculation]
[You can't use this Realm Points right now, but you can store it for later]
[Attention: 1 Realm Point is equal to 1 Soul Points]
[Attention: 1 Soul Points cannot be exchanged for 1 Realm Point]
After that, Gu Qing Shan's Realm Points disappeared a bit.
— — remaining Realm Points: 99.
Gu Qing Shan was shocked and asked: "You only answered a single question of mine and you deducted 1 Soul Points?"
The War God UI replied: [Do you still remember? Last time, you gave me an IOU and still haven't returned it]
Gu Qing Shan retorted: "That still doesn't amount to 1 Soul Points"
[It's interest, compounded with the questions I answered just now, the total is 1 Soul Points] the War God UI calmly replied.
Gu Qing Shan turned away, too lazy to argue with this money-grubber any longer.
This time, he really began to observe his surroundings.
Unfortunately, when he released his inner sight, he found that there was nothing but a vast barren wasteland with no end in sight.
"— — I don't even know which direction we should go" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Lola smiled: "Did you forget this Queen's title?"
Gu Qing Shan also smiled in understanding.
— — Lola's title was [The Returning Bramble Blood].
With the help of the ancestral spirit, she wouldn't get lost and could walk all the way to the center of the Dusty World.
It was quite useful.
His name could be used for —
Sigh, forget it, let's not talk about it.
While Gu Qing Shan was lost in her thoughts, a green shadow flew down from the sky and landed on Lola's shoulder.
It was still that little bird.
"Lola, and Chun Nan, listen to me carefully."
It looked a little nervous.
Lola and Gu Qing Shan immediately became serious.
"Something is about to happen in this world. It is something that no one has foreseen —"
"The other worlds in the chaotic streams of space have just decided to seal this place as the map for the qualification battle."
"The battle is about to begin."
The two of them were startled.
Other chaotic streams of space?
The dusty qualification battle?
The little bird quickly explained: "With your current knowledge, it's very hard to explain it to you — — just remember one thing, the Dusty World isn't just located in your space vortex, it is also located in many other space vortexes"
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "If this space vortex of ours is destroyed by the Apocalypse, what will happen to the Dusty World?"
"It will close the Phase Realm leading to your space vortex and disappear from your Reality Gate" the little bird replied.
"In short, Lola was originally a pure-blooded Bramble Blood, so she was naturally qualified to enter the Dusty World. As for Chun Nan — — you are also a rare high-class dancer — — no, you should be the male lead dancer, you were also granted the qualification by that great one"
"Because of that, you won't need to compete for the qualification and can directly enter the center of the Dusty World"
"But others won't be able to, they will have to compete for the qualification to enter the Dusty World from a randomly selected peripheral world"
"What I want to say is — —"
"You must avoid any competitors and quickly pass through this world's system"
"No need to fight against them, and do not let anyone discover Lola's true identity"
"Why is that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Those who compete for the qualification are all from the outside world, unlike the entities of the Dusty World who are still being suppressed by the Bramble Blood Contract. So once they discover Lola's true strength and value, who knows what they might do"
"By the way, they are very strong, their understanding and usage of Realm Power is much deeper than the two of you novices"
"Gu Qing Shan is also very strong" Lola was unconvinced.
The little bird replied: "Strong? The two of you have only just found out what Realm Power is, yet you don't even know how to use it to defend yourself. If you're hit by an enemy, you'll die without a doubt, understand? "
"I understand" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He really did understand.
As the saying goes, a person's wealth is a wall — — -
Lola is the owner of all wealth, but she doesn't have enough power to protect herself.
Once she's discovered, her fate is self-evident.
And I look like the Dance that protects her — — – a sword cultivator, the first thing anyone would do is kill me.
The situation really isn't looking good.
"Very well, if you understand, I won't stay here any longer. Otherwise, those people will notice something as soon as they get here" the little bird said.
It suddenly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and looked at Lola.
"It just sent a map into my head" Lola said.
"Very well"
Gu Qing Shan picked her up and put her on her shoulder.
"Where are we going?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That way"
Lola pointed in a direction.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and prepared to run: "Be careful — — I'm going to run as fast as I can to leave this world system as soon as possible"
"Unfortunately, no matter how fast you run, we'll still need 5 days to leave this place" Lola said.
Gu Qing Shan was about to run, but almost tripped as she heard that.
"How much?"
"5 days"
"You know my walking speed?"
"No, the boundary of this world is measured by time, you need to move in the direction I pointed for 5 days before you can leave"
"… Including rest time, wouldn't that be 6 days?"
"Correct"
Gu Qing Shan looked forward.
Blue sky.
Not a single cloud in ten thousand miles.
The blazing sun hung high in the sky.
The barren land stretched as far as the eye could see.
5 days …
"If we walk slowly — –"
"Same, we'll leave after 5 days" Lola replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
What a strange world system, I really don't understand why it's like this.
Now, he somewhat understood the Holy Heroic Spirit's words.
"… Different world systems are actually unable to understand each other, and no one can interfere with another's world without reason — –"
Other than that, the Dusty World and the Doomsday Cemetery were two extremes.
The Doomsday Cemetery was a place of complete destruction.
The Dusty World was a powerful world that survived the flames of war during the Apocalypse, still managed to survive and escape.
When these world systems were combined, they were far more powerful than any single world system!
But what about the Samsara?
Even that lady said that the Samsara was the final hope …
Gu Qing Shan temporarily stopped that thought.
He took a step forward and slowly walked forward.
"Lola, from now on, you either have to use [Shelter of Infinite Worlds] at all times, or don't expose any of your abilities at all" he told her.
"Using [Shelter of Infinite Worlds] for 5 days at a time? I'll die of exhaustion if I do that, I'll choose to do nothing at all "Lola replied.
"Very well, I'll carry you from here on out, you can rest" Gu Qing Shan told her.
"— — I'll just use a random means of transportation, it should be fine, right?" Lola asked.
"No, you don't have to do anything, since we don't know what those people are capable of, we have to be on guard" Gu Qing Shan cautiously said.
He also took off the ring on his finger and carefully hid it.
Back at the Isle of Dreams, the mercenaries recognized the Bramble Ring on his finger.
Although it wasn't a Bramble Ring anymore, it had been replaced with a higher-grade ring.
"Hey — – if I get kidnapped, would you be sad, Gu Qing Shan?" Lola peeked at him.
"I would" Gu Qing Shan seriously nodded.
Lola tilted his chin up: "This King will try to restrain himself for a bit, the rest is up to you"
"Don't worry" Gu Qing Shan told him.
As soon as he said so, his expression changed.
The distant sky hung high above the horizon, and blazing flames fell from the sky like a magnificent meteor shower.
"Gu Qing Shan" Lola called out.
"Hm, both their presences are quite powerful" Gu Qing Shan commented.
— — -the participants of the Dusty World qualification competition had arrived.
They would fight to the death in this world to obtain the right to enter the depths of the Dusty World.
Lola was a bit worried and said: "We really don't know how to use realm power to defend, what do we do?"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and simply drew two swords, wielding one in each hand.
All of a sudden.
A streak of intense light descended from the sky towards the two of them.
This streak of light quickly landed not too far away from them.
Boom!
The shockwave from the impact blew the surrounding dust away.
When everything settled down, a bull was slowly standing up from where the streak of light landed.
He looked at Gu Qing Shan and Lola.
"Two stinky humans. You two are truly unlucky to have bumped into me at the very first moment," said the bull.
His killing intent rose!
Gu Qing Shan immediately raised his hand: "Wait! We surrender, we're only passersby, we're not qualified to participate in the qualification competition "
The two swords in his hands fell to the ground with a loud clang.
The bull looked at the two of them, only to see that the little girl really wasn't a threat — — - while the human male had already thrown away his weapons, both his legs were trembling.
What a coward, his face is already pale from fear.
The bull felt a bit disdainful, but silently sighed in relief.
— — -they really are passersby.
Seems like my luck is quite good this time.
Perfect, I'll use these two as a warm-up, while also letting the stench of blood disperse.
That way, I'll be able to create a bit of deterrence.
The bull smirked: 「 If there's a mistake, there's no mercy! 」
Just as it finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck its body. Immediately after, a Thunder Demon burrowed into its body, and countless sword auras flew towards it.
One after another, world spirits appeared in a densely packed manner. They rose and fell in succession, and continued to attack for a full three minutes before completely disappearing.
Oong — — -
The two swords that were originally lying on the ground lazily flew up and patted Gu Qing Shan's shoulder.
"Not bad, old actress"
"Getting into the groove is fast"
After saying so, they disappeared into the void of space behind Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan brought Lola towards the bull's corpse and explained:
"I've already thought about it, since we don't know how to defend, we shouldn't let them attack"
"Furthermore, to create a bit of deterrence, we'll eat beef tonight"
Lola cheered: "You dare call this king stinky, eat it!"
