Whenever Gu Qing Shan took a step forward, the old man would take a step back.
The distance between them didn't decrease at all.
"Wait …" the old man said.
Gu Qing Shan stopped and looked at him.
"Spare my life" the old man said.
"Ah? Didn't you want to eat me? "Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"I was wrong about this, I shouldn't have attacked the successor of the Sacrificial Dance, please be magnanimous and let me go" the old man said.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and said: "It's not impossible — — give me the manifestation of the world's core and I'll let today's matter go"
The old man's expression changed and spoke unwillingly: "If I give you that, it's the same as giving you the entire world's core"
"You can still live in this world, and your life will be preserved, this is a good deal" Gu Qing Shan said.
The old man appeared conflicted.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and chuckled: "As the saying goes, a bet is a bet, a bet is a bet. You were the one who started the Spirit Realm war, but now you're not willing to give me anything, how could that be"
The old man's eyes turned cold and spoke in a low voice: "You don't know how much effort I've put into this world!"
His finger twitched.
The soil under Gu Qing Shan's feet suddenly split apart as countless glowing objects appeared.
Souls!
These were the souls of dead living beings. They overlapped one another, trying to grab onto Gu Qing Shan's hands and feet.
"Stay here! Endure the endless pain with us! "
The souls all screamed in unison.
The old man loudly laughed: "Naive brat! Trying to spare the enemy's life in the middle of a war, I really don't know why that great one chose you as his successor — — - "
He looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan was still being held by the countless souls, but she didn't show a single bit of anxiety on her face, she even sighed.
"Bastard — — now that the offensive and defensive positions have changed, it's your turn to die!"
The old man shouted, clasped his hands together, and quickly chanted an incantation.
Poof!
A soft, almost undetectable sound interrupted his spell casting.
The old man's lips moved as he slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.
A long sword had pierced through his body, protruding a long section of his body. Blood flowed down the blade of the sword.
Behind him, a slim and graceful orange cat hovered in the air.
The orange cat turned into a cold and elegant woman, still wielding his sword.
"There are actually people who think that my young master is naive …"
The woman shook her head and did not continue speaking.
Just now, when Gu Qing Shan was talking to the old man, she had turned into the orange cat and used [Ghostly Shadow of Night] to silently hide behind the old man.
The old man's expression changed several times. He finally felt the approach of death. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground.
"Spare me, spare me —"
But Shannu didn't relent.
The sword radiance flashed.
The old man's limbs were chopped off, leaving only his torso, which flew out and landed at Gu Qing Shan's feet.
When the souls behind Gu Qing Shan saw this, they immediately dispersed and hid underground, not daring to come out again.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!" The old man let out a mournful howl.
But he quickly shut his mouth.
A frigid sword was pressed against his neck.
Gu Qing Shan crouched down and sighed: "Just look at this, what's the point of doing this, shouldn't you have promised me earlier"
The old man glared at her with hatred.
"He still dares to look at gongzi like that — — – gongzi, why are you wasting time with him, just kill him with a single strike" Shannu spoke with killing intent.
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer. Her expression was a bit complicated.
This old man in front of me.
A spirit that wields Realm power.
But he voluntarily gave up on all of his Spirit Skills.
All for a fair fight with me!
What kind of spirit is this?
It would be great if my future enemies were all this naive.
Gu Qing Shan treasured this moment a bit.
Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:
[The Spirit Realm war has ended]
[You've won the war]
[The entire world system shall belong to you, and your enemies' spirits shall also be at your disposal]
A crimson pocket watch flew out from the old man's body and hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
— — the manifestation of the world's core!
Two more lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:
[You've discovered a Divine Artifact of the world's core]
[You can now use the key mold to forge it into a new part of the Traveler's Key]
Gu Qing Shan immediately took out the mold for the Traveler's Key.
As soon as this mold appeared, the crimson pocket watch began to shake intensely.
The crimson pocket watch flew up, landed on top of the key mold, slowly melted into liquid, and slowly flowed into the groove of the mold.
The crimson liquid flowed inside the groove and fused with the small piece of the key.
— — it solidified.
Three different colors appeared on the key, the bronze color of the handle, the black color of the handle, and the newly forged crimson color of the key.
They corresponded to the three coins, the Holy Artifact of Evil in the gloomy old city, and the crimson pocket watch in the clock tower world.
Perhaps because the clock tower world had become more complete, this time, the key's length had reached 2/5 of the mold, much longer than the first time it was forged.
Gu Qing Shan happily put the key mold away.
If I can continue like this, I'll probably be able to create the Traveler's Key very soon.
— — -this is the key to my path of escape!
"Do you have any last words?" he asked the old man.
As soon as he said that, the old man knew that he wouldn't be able to escape.
His expression became uncertain, then abruptly broke into a frenzied laughter:
"Ahahaha, I know that you're only a temporary spirit — — a mortal like you could have wielded the power of the entire world, but now that you've erased the manifestation of the world, the only thing left for you is death!"
"Stinking brat, the entire underground of this clock tower world is filled with vengeful spirits, all of them had participated in the Dusty World Qualification Tournament while they were still alive — — - for countless years, every single one of them who died was by my hand!"
Gu Qing Shan narrowed her eyes.
— — so the evil spirit that caused the contenders to kill each other was this old man.
The old man's expression became twisted with rage as he continued to shout: "You don't have the manifestation of the world, and you're only a mortal, how could you possibly deal with these billions of evil spirits?"
"I've already released them"
"As soon as your spiritualized state ends, the billions of evil spirits will come to kill you mortal, this is my final curse"
"— — prepare to be devoured by the myriad of evil spirits!"
A gloomy glow manifested around Gu Qing Shan's body.
A curse!
The War God UI immediately provided a notification:
[You've been cursed: Evil Spirit Devouring]
「 This is the final bit of power of a spirit, it wholeheartedly unleashed this curse 」
[You must win against all the souls of the dead, otherwise, you will always be haunted by the evil spirits]
Gu Qing Shan regretfully sighed and lightly lowered her sword.
— — the vengeful voice abruptly stopped.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Obtained World Force: 150]
Gu Qing Shan stood up, cracked his neck a bit, and prepared to welcome the billions of vengeful spirits.
Suddenly, a nervous voice resounded from above:
"What did that old man say just now?"
This was Lola's voice!
Gu Qing Shan turned around to see Lola and a cute girl in a miniskirt descending from above.
The girl had a head of colorful hair.
— — -she was the one who gave them invitations before.
The milk cow from the Dance Troupe called her 'Miss Colorful Burial'.
"Ah? Why did you come here? "
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two of them in surprise.
Lola explained: "I was still worried, so I begged Li to go to the Land of Fantasy for me and ask who could bring me to you. In the end, big sister Caizang said that she could, so I signed the Covenant of Thorns with her"
The cute girl next to her smiled and replied: "I can indeed enter and exit other people's Phase Realms as I wish, and I'm honored to become a covenant spirit of the Bramble Blood"
It was now that Gu Qing Shan understood and smiled: "Thank you"
— — -signing a Bramble Covenant with Lola was most likely the dream of every spirit.
Lola understood that she had Li search for information for her while hiding herself, so she had matured quite a bit.
While he was thinking, Lola ran up to him, pulled his sleeve, and anxiously asked: "That old man seemed to be cursing you just now, what exactly happened?"
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "It's nothing, he's just a cute and naïve old man, let's have a cooking competition — —"
While Lola and Cai Zang were listening, countless spirits suddenly appeared from all directions.
Endless screams and howls resounded all over the ground.
The spirits that were buried here leapt out from the ground and danced in the sky.
In just a few breaths' worth of time, the entire world was surrounded by these resentful spirits.
"DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!"
"Don't you dare run!"
"Your soul will remain here and suffer with us for eternity!"
"I'll eat you! I'll eat you! "
They screamed and rushed towards Gu Qing Shan's direction.
Cai Zang looked at the resentful spirits, then at Gu Qing Shan and asked: "— — you call this cooking?"
Gu Qing Shan said nothing and simply stared at the void of space.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[The Spirit Realm war has ended]
[You've become the master of the Clock Tower world]
[All of your sealed powers have returned]
Gu Qing Shan skimmed through and clenched his fist.
"Sacrifice"
He uttered a single word.
An invisible fluctuation erupted from his body and swept across the entire world.
Instantly, the countless resentful spirits froze in place, not daring to move.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan turned to Lola and Cai Zang and finished his words:
"That's right, the old man and I cooked a few dishes together, but I still won in the end"
"In the end, he was convinced and blessed me, saying — — -"
"Happiness will soon come knocking on my door"
Gu Qing Shan drew a jet-black horned Devil King Rod, placed it next to her, and lightly tapped the ground.
