The small flower umbrella finally covered Gu Qing Shan's head.
[Shelter of Infinite Worlds] activated!
Almost at the same time as it disappeared, Gu Qing Shan brought Lola up, flashing through the void of space to escape from the monster's grasp.
「 Disappeared? How interesting 」
The monster's mocking voice resounded through the void.
The black figure that blocked out the sun suddenly disappeared, leaving nothing but emptiness in this world.
All of a sudden — —
A boundless dark-green light descended upon them.
This light contained unimaginable power, flickering at an indiscernible frequency as it quickly filled the entire void of space.
A series of strange screams rang out.
A few monsters that were hiding in the void of space appeared, but before they could even attempt to escape, they were already turned into corpses amidst the screams.
The corpses were illuminated by the green light and quickly disappeared, as if they had never existed in the first place.
The dark green light lasted for a few dozen breaths' worth of time before it slowly faded away.
The world returned to darkness.
The blood-colored full moon hung high in the sky, scrutinizing everything the blood-colored light could see.
「 The lice that had been hiding in the surroundings are all dead … but that guy just now wasn't among them … 」
「 He was able to avoid my [Soul Extinguishing Illumination], and I still couldn't find him 」
「 How strange, I seem to remember this ability … 」
The monster fell into thought.
At another location.
Gu Qing Shan brought Lola away from the blood moon.
— — the monster's body was simply too big. The two of them had to fly for a full 15 minutes before they could fly out of the darkness.
In front of them was a dark grey vertical wall that was completely surrounded by thick fog that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Gu Qing Shan, this world is so eerie" Lola commented.
"Hm, take a look" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two of them looked around, only to see that the wall was filled with various instruments of torture, each of which were either stained with blood, flesh, or bones.
— — -there were no complete corpses.
"What do we do now?" Lola asked.
"Let's find a direction and take a look" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them flew along the wall for a quarter of an hour before stopping again.
Gu Qing Shan stopped in mid-air, seemingly sensing something, thought for a bit, then grabbed the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
Whoosh!
A cold light flashed.
The long sword cut a deep gash on the wall.
Dark red blood flowed out of the wound and dripped down at an extremely slow speed.
He looked at the opening, sheathed his sword, and continued to fly up with Lola.
A few minutes later.
Gu Qing Shan stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Lola asked in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan remained silent and pointed at the wall.
Lola looked at the wall and felt her hair stand on end.
A bloody hole appeared on the wall. Dark red blood flowed down the wall silently and converged into a hideous face.
The face appeared on the wall with a puzzled expression.
「 What a disgusting divine presence, why did the Patrollers allow such an entity to enter this place? 」
The face condensed into a mass of blood, separated from the wall, and flew towards the darkness at a faraway place.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola silently watched the entire process.
"That's why we've been going around in circles here?" Lola couldn't help but ask.
"We have [Infinite Worlds' Shelter] — — - it's probably not because something is targeting us, but rather because this place already has such a rule" Gu Qing Shan analyzed.
An angel's voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Holy Apostle, this is an incomparably evil world system, while you're wearing the legendary divine armor and have the reputation of being pure, you're not accepted by evil"
Another angel spoke: "We also don't dare to show ourselves in this world, otherwise we'll draw the hostility of the entire world system and bring you great trouble, Holy Apostle"
Gu Qing Shan became interested and asked: "Ah? Can you explain it to me in detail? "
The other two angels didn't show themselves and simply replied: "If you want to do anything in this world, you must first be an evil person before you can be accepted, otherwise, you can only go around in circles like you, or even run into Patrollers like the Blood Moon"
So such a world exists!
Gu Qing Shan and Lola exchanged glances.
"Gu Qing Shan, it's over, you're not evil at all" Lola dejectedly said.
One of the angels replied: "That's right, Holy Apostles have the reputation of being 'Pure', so they won't be accepted by this world system"
"Must they be evil?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, only evil people can find their place in this world, otherwise, they'll be eliminated sooner or later, or killed, their souls and corpses will become nourishment for the world system" the angel replied.
— — evil people?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit.
According to the angels, first of all, I can't wear this [Holy Apostle's Embrace] anymore.
The [Pure Man] title has become a hindrance in this place.
Do I really have to give up?
No, if I want to forge a complete [Passage Key], this is my last chance.
Once I return to the space vortex, it'll only be a broken world, how will I be able to manifest the world core there?
If that's the case, everyone can only wait to be harvested by the Apocalypse.
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist.
I need to think of a way to become an evil person!
— — but what exactly is considered evil?
With that in mind, he asked the angel behind him.
"Only a title — — - a title represents a person's status, Holy Apostle" the angel replied.
"So that's how it is, then I only have one last question, is this world really filled with evil people?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Only evil people can enter" the angel replied.
"— — then I'm relieved"
Gu Qing Shan's body slightly shook. The armor components flew out from his body and formed a complete set of armor in the air.
A line of glowing text appeared in the void of space:
[Attention: Your Title 'Holy Apostle' has disappeared]
Gu Qing Shan put the armor away, turned his gaze to the War God UI, and stared at the [War God Titles] that he obtained.
— — if the [Pure Man] title isn't suitable for this world, then I'll change it.
But what should I change it to?
"Evil … evil …"
Gu Qing Shan repeated this as his gaze slowly moved.
[Starflame War God] title isn't considered evil.
[Dragon King of Atrocity Jail] summoning virtuous living beings definitely isn't considered evil.
[Shen Wei General] and [Talented General] aren't considered evil either.
[Most Flirtatious Man] …
That's just flirtatious.
Is flirtatious considered evil?
Gu Qing Shan paused — — -
Flirtatious is a man's charm, how can it be considered evil?
It doesn't!
Finally, Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the title that he hasn't used for a long time.
— — Ace Hitman.
An Assassin is a Profession that specializes in killing, scheming, and bloodthirsty, so the title he obtained in this field might be considered evil?
Gu Qing Shan
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan immediately changed his title to [Ace Hitman].
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
"Title: Ace Assassin."
[Description: You used a single strike to kill an opponent stronger than yourself]
[Equipping this title grants you the Unique Skill: Harvest (Advanced)]
[Harvest (Advanced): Whenever you kill an opponent in a single strike, the consumption of that strike will be fully recovered]
Gu Qing Shan took a few deep breaths, then said: "Lola, don't let [Infinite Worlds' Shelter] cover me for now, I want to test something"
"Got it" Lola slightly tilted the small flowery umbrella in her hand.
Gu Qing Shan's figure appeared from the void of space.
He turned to the grey wall.
The wall remained silent for a few moments, then suddenly let out a creaking noise, as if there was some sort of mechanism inside.
The wall caved in, revealing a path full of corpses and blood.
"Ah? Why would a path suddenly appear on the wall? "Lola asked in surprise.
"I've thought of a way, shhh — –"
Gu Qing Shan gestured for her to stay silent.
The two of them both looked back, only to see a grey shadow appearing in the path.
「 An Assassin … this title barely qualifies, but it still isn't a truly honorable title 」 the grey shadow replied.
"I only wish to enter the world" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Then as you wish, but there are plenty of people with your title in our world, so you can only start as a gladiator. If you agree, then enter, otherwise scram 」 the grey shadow said.
"No problem" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 If you can survive three battles, you will be able to choose a new identity, but if you die — — - 」
「 Then your soul will become nutrients for the world! 」
After saying so, the grey shadow disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan stepped into the path.
He stepped over the corpses one after another, heading deeper into the path.
As time went by, he could hear the sound of clamoring.
Light appeared from afar.
He walked all the way to the glowing exit.
Outside was a large gladiator arena, quite a few people were already standing on it.
The clamoring he heard before came from the stands.
The stands were filled to the brim, everyone had fallen into a bloodthirsty state of excitement.
"Newcomers, die! Die here! "
"Hurry! I want to see your blood! "
"Scream and scream, your souls will be extracted and sent to the depths of the world"
"Kill kill kill kill kill!"
The spectators shouted.
Gu Qing Shan looked around, then lightly leapt onto the arena.
"Are you confident?" Lola nervously asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "These are all small fries, there's no sign of Realm Power on them, furthermore — — -"
He raised his hand and clenched his fist.
Instantly, several dozen skeletons descended from the void of space and stood in a row behind him.
This scene shocked the surrounding gladiators, and they all retreated one after another.
Gu Qing Shan whispered to Lola: "Since they're evil, these guys would definitely bully the weak and fear the strong, I bet they wouldn't dare to fight me"
Lola nodded in agreement.
All of a sudden, a deafening voice resounded in the arena:
「 The final gladiator has arrived 」
「 This is your feast of death, newcomers!
」「 Now, let the Death Match begin! 」
Whoosh — — — — —
The gladiators all flew towards Gu Qing Shan.
They completely surrounded Gu Qing Shan, drew their weapons, and shouted:
"This guy is the most eye-catching, everyone, let's get rid of him first!"
"Yes, kill him first!"
"Everyone, go!"
