Gu Qing Shan stood there for a while.
There was no movement within the blood mist. The Overseer of Myriad Worlds did not appear either.
"Sir?"
Gu Qing Shan tried to shout.
What responded to him was a series of bone-chilling chewing sounds.
"Ge ge ge — Kacha kacha — Hiss — Flow — Gu — Cough — Ge ge — Cha —"
The continuous sounds rang out, as if an existence that had been starving for countless years was crazily eating.
A full quarter of an hour passed.
"Bah!"
A sudden voice resounded. At the same time, a black shadow flew out from the blood mist.
Gu Qing Shan moved sideways to avoid the black shadow, letting it fall on the ground and make a series of crashing sounds.
"Take it."
An indistinct voice came from the blood mist.
Hearing this, Gu Qing Shan looked at the black figure on the ground.
The black shadow was a dark gray pentagonal cube with all kinds of strange patterns etched on it.
A line of glowing text appeared in the air:
"You've discovered a holy artifact belonging to the world."
[Description: A certain world system has been reduced to ruins, its core manifested object was swallowed by an unheard-of Apocalypse, until you killed it]
Gu Qing Shan gladly stepped forward and picked up the pentagon, saying, "Thank you very much."
"You should thank yourself. This is the prey you killed, and I'm just —"
The Overseer's voice paused for a moment before he suddenly let out a long sigh and said with satisfaction:
"… Delicious … This trip was worth it …"
BOOM!!!
A strong wind blew, and the blood mist tumbled violently, spreading out in all directions like waves.
Somehow, Gu Qing Shan sensed some kind of emotion from him.
— like a ferocious beast that had just woken up, opened its sleepy eyes, ready to do something.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, her expression gradually turning grim.
Moments later.
The Overseer's voice rang out from the blood mist.
"Gu Qing Shan … when you killed this apocalyptic monster, your companions were already slowly recovering. This is the content of our deal."
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
The Overseer continued: 『In truth, as long as that monster dies, your companions would naturally recover — — I believe you have also sensed this』
It let out an indecipherable laugh and asked, "Do you feel like you've been tricked by me?"
"To be honest, I do feel that way. But what are you trying to say?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Overseer replied: 「 The first layer of your Realm Power was to summon a Realm Spirit; the second layer of Realm Power was to summon the Wheel of the Saint Realm, but I, as the ultimate Spirit, had directly appeared — — this was partly because you had completed the Spirit Realm War ahead of time and obtained the qualifications to do so; and secondly — — do you know why? 」
Gu Qing Shan thought about it and said, "I don't have a clue."
Infinite Worlds Overlook replied: 「 You are a qualified hunter, I need an existence like you to hunt for food for me 」
"— — -after all, the Saint Realm is a place where the Apocalypse can't find, I won't be able to eat the abundant food here"
Gu Qing Shan did not say anything. She maintained a polite smile on her face.
Feeding on the Apocalypse?
What kind of existence are you …
While she was thinking, Infinite Worlds Overlook's voice became serious:
「 We've always said that in any world, even in the space vortex or the infinite worlds, the most valuable thing is a secret. It is more fascinating than anything else, do you agree? 」
"I do" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Gu Qing Shan, having you kill the unheard-of Apocalypse was actually a test for you. Now that you've proven your worth, you are worthy of a secret that I am about to tell you 」 Infinite Worlds Overlook said.
"Your excellency, I'm all ears" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Infinite Worlds Overlook continued: 「 Humans always have a way to travel through time to return to the past, but no one can travel to the future, do you know why? 」
"I don't" Gu Qing Shan answered truthfully.
「 — — -that is because the past is fixed, so it's easy to enter; but any future is uncertain 」
Infinite Worlds Overlook continued: 「 — — -at each moment of the 'future', there are only a few crucial factors that are certain, and the fate of the people and people around these crucial factors are actually affected by the 'present', resulting in ever-changing uncertainties 」
"You mean, the future is actually composed of various factors pieced together?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right. Only the most basic elements are certain, but there are many other elements that are uncertain. That's why almost no one can go to the future to take a look. Even if they see something, only a small part of it is real. Most of it is fake," Infinite Realms Overseer said.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then asked: "Is there something else you want to tell me?"
「 — -smart! I like talking to people like you!
」 Infinite Worlds Overlook praised her, then continued: 「 When you killed the unheard-of Apocalypse, I knew it was time to tell you this secret 」
"Listen up, this is your reward."
Infinite Worlds Overlook's voice slowly became inaudible, almost like a whisper that resounded by Gu Qing Shan's ears:
「 First of all, you must know that not too long from now, the space vortex you are currently in will be destroyed by the Apocalypse, this is an undeniable fact — — which is why the Dusty World will soon withdraw itself from the space vortex you are in. This is the only part of the future that will not be changed 」
「 Most importantly — — - 」
「 The Reality Gate you are currently in actually hides something incredibly unique. Countless Apocalypses and survivors are searching for them … even the Dusty World is searching for them. Unfortunately, they are all sealed, no one has ever found them, and no one has ever been able to unseal them, allowing them to fuse together and exert their true power to accomplish that unimaginable feat 」
「 — — do you want to know what that is?
Gu Qing Shan was surprised, then recalled the half-secret that Shroud once told her.
"I've finally found this Gate … other than myself, no one will be able to notice anything wrong with it …"
"… I cannot tell anyone about my secret, and I will completely forget about it, until I find the Passage Key …"
— — could it be that Infinite Worlds Overlook and the Frozen Corpse were talking about the same thing?
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "Your excellency, I want to know what you're talking about"
The Overseer of Worlds laughed.
His laughter grew louder and louder, gradually becoming like the roar of thunder.
「 Gu Qing Shan, it is not time yet 」
「 You once obtained the method to find them, but lost it … 」
"Even I only know this much."
「 But remember this well, if you want to save the living beings of this void, you must find them … 」
「 Otherwise, you will have no choice but to escape by yourself! 」
Boom!!!
A deafening explosion resounded all around them.
The blood-red fog quickly dissipated.
The world went away.
Gu Qing Shan found herself still standing in front of the ruins of the subterranean world.
Everything that happened just now felt like a dream.
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
The dark gray pentagonal cube was still in his hand. It was heavy and cold.
Another two lines of text appeared in the void of space:
[With this item, you can form a connection with the spirits of this world's system to increase your strength]
[Unfortunately, all the spirits of this world's system have died in battle, you cannot obtain a new spirit to fight alongside you]
[— — you can now use the mold of the Passage Key to refine it into a new part of the Passage Key]
All the spirits had died in battle.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, feeling a bit regretful.
The [Realm Spirit's Descent] that he obtained actually came from the pillar that connected the Blood Sea to the Sacred Realm, the spirit of the pillar.
Back at the Dance Troupe of Sin, he was carelessly tricked by the cow, so even though he managed to learn the Splits Divine Skill, he still wasn't able to form a combat covenant with a new spirit.
As for Infinite Worlds Overlook — — -
As soon as he arrived, he wanted me to kill an Apocalypse for him to eat.
Although the reward is quite good, killing an Apocalypse is too hard, I won't be able to do it whenever I want.
When would he be able to interact with more spirits in order to increase his strength?
Oh well — — -
Before Lola and Liao Xiao Pao arrive, I'll forge a Passage Key first.
With that in mind, he took out the mold for the Passage Key.
As soon as this mold appeared, the dark grey pentagonal cube sensed it and began to shake intensely.
It flew up, landed on the mold of the key, slowly melted into liquid, and slowly poured into the groove of the mold.
The dark liquid flowed into the groove and fused with the key.
— — -it solidified at a visible rate.
The key manifested four different colors: the bronze color at the handle, the black color at the front of the handle, and the dark red and grey color on the body of the key.
They corresponded to the three coins, the Holy Artifact of Evil in the gloomy old city, the dark red pocket watch in the Clock Tower world, and the pentagonal cube in the ruined world.
This time, the key's length had reached 3/5th of the mold's length.
Gu Qing Shan was full of anticipation.
— — -not too long from now, I'll be able to forge a complete Passage Key.
The secret of the frozen corpse will soon be revealed to me!
