Within the boundless space vortex.
The frost continued to spread and completely froze a large area of the void.
As far as the eye could see, the void had become a land of death.
Ever since the two Apocalypses retreated, the frost had been spreading without stopping, until now — — -
Boom!!!
A giant whose entire body was covered in frost broke through the frost and abruptly appeared in the void of space.
「 Hoh … hoh … I finally caught it … 」
The giant opened his palm to reveal a grey eyeball.
The eyeball seemed to want to struggle, but as soon as the giant caught it, it was covered in a layer of frost and couldn't move at all.
The giant grabbed the eyeball and forcefully pushed it back into its socket.
The eyeball moved a bit, then uttered a short shriek before losing its spirit.
Following that, a different kind of spirit appeared in the giant's eyes.
A flickering deep blue coldness appeared from the giant's eyes.
「 Aaaargh! 」
The giant uttered a deafening roar.
Like a tornado, an aura of destruction radiated from the giant's body.
— — -he had finally regained his full body.
The frost in the void of space faded away.
Everything had returned to normal.
The frost giant looked around and muttered: 「 Now that I've regained all of my strength — – should I go to the Dusty World to find Gu Qing Shan, or the Reality Gate to take his place as Shifu? 」
All of a sudden, a female voice resounded from afar:
「 You can't do either of those things, because I need your help here 」
The frost giant looked at the void of space, the coldness in his eyes becoming increasingly intense.
A stranger dares to speak to me like that?
The frost giant scoffed and asked: 「 — — Who are you? Do you think you can order me around just because you know a bit about the Law of Time? What right do you have to interfere with my business? 」
The void of space shifted.
A woman with long white hair walked out.
「 Shroud, you might know me, I'm Su Cher 」 the woman replied.
The frost giant observed her, his presence scattered, and smiled: 「 I know you, you're Gu Qing Shan's — — 」
His voice abruptly stopped.
— — -some sort of inexplicable connection had been created.
Shroud had now fused with the frozen corpse, his strength and cultivation had already surpassed the past, so he was naturally able to notice a few things.
The Frozen Giant's expression turned serious as he unconsciously muttered: "You — — you — — this — —"
Su Cher smiled and said, "The attributes of time and fate are always very strong, aren't they?"
"Yes," the Frost Giant admitted.
"The Dusty World is about to escape, which means that Gu Qing Shan will return very soon" Su Cher said.
"How did you know — —" Just as the Frost Giant was about to ask, he immediately reacted and sighed: "Even you know about this, it seems like the situation is a bit critical."
"Yes, you and I can't go anywhere. We have to get ready before Gu Qing Shan comes back," said Su Cher.
"How's his business going?" the Frozen Giant asked.
This time, it was Su Cher's turn to sigh and say, "I wasn't by his side, how would I know his situation?"
The Frost Giant went silent for a bit, then suddenly said: "Don't you know that everything you've done will only bring disaster upon yourself?"
"The Apocalypse is about to destroy everything — — – perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow. At a time like this, what else do I have to care about?" Su Cher shook her head.
The Frost Giant spoke in a deep voice, "Sooner or later, you will be severely punished. Even if you manage to survive, you will only be able to keep going up, just like walking on an endless staircase. The higher you go, the deeper the staircase will be. There will be no end, and there will never be an end — — do you really not regret it?"
Su Cher looked at the endless darkness of the void and muttered: "I think of him every minute and every second. As long as he's alive, my heart is still alive; but if he's dead, even if I'm still alive, I'm already dead, so there's nothing to regret"
The Frost Giant seemed a bit emotional, seemingly recalling something as a sorrowful expression appeared on his face.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" the Frost Giant asked.
"Let's go to the Eternal Abyss and forge the components of the twin swords Heaven and Earth" Su Cher said.
"You … already know?" the Frost Giant was surprised.
"No, I'm only guessing. After all, I've seen so much history, it's normal for me to notice something from it. I'm guessing that the situation has reached its most critical point — — only you and I can accomplish this, and we need to do it quickly!" Su Cher said.
"… Got it" the Frost Giant replied.
…
The Dusty World.
Gu Qing Shan stood by a ruin, letting the cluster of light in front of her fade away.
The secret of the frozen corpse had been revealed.
And now, the Key of Wind that represented the Four Saint Pillars was silently lying in his hand.
"That can't be right …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
"How could it not be? You've already obtained three Saint Pillar Soul Artifacts, Gu Qing Shan!" Lola excitedly exclaimed.
"Compared to that, the secret just now is more important to me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Lola froze, then couldn't help but ask: "Secret? What secret? "
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something and asked in return: "Didn't you hear what the cluster of light said just now?"
"What cluster of light? Why didn't I see it?" Lola asked.
Gu Qing Shan instantly understood.
No wonder the War God UI told me to listen carefully, it seems that this secret can only be heard by the person who unlocked it.
But why the twin swords Heaven and Earth?
I understand the power of these two weapons very well.
If there was an unknown demonic entity that even the frozen corpse couldn't win against, how could the twin swords Heaven and Earth possibly win against it?
While the frozen corpse was asleep, it was able to use its own blood to create the Myriad Deities to stop any Apocalypse that tried to enter from outside.
Just how powerful would it be after awakening!?
If even the frozen corpse couldn't win against a demonic entity, how could the twin swords Heaven and Earth possibly defeat it?
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but whisper: "Earth sword"
「 I'm here 」 the Earth sword replied.
"Do you and the Heaven sword have any other hidden trump cards?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 We don't, even if we obtained those components, the Heaven sword and I would only be able to open many parallel worlds. You've already seen it in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts 」 the Earth sword replied.
"You don't have any other abilities?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 I can tell jokes, the Heaven sword can sleep, does that count as an ability? 」 the Earth sword asked.
"…"
Gu Qing Shan felt like his vision was filled with layers of fog, unable to see the truth of the matter.
But he still remembered what happened at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss.
When the Wraith realm used the Samsara Divine Skill [Lead People] to summon the Deity corpses, wanting to explore the Inner Plane, Shroud once told him about it.
What did he say?
"… As soon as the Inner Plane was destroyed, numerous undefeatable demonic creatures appeared in that space — — - they were true demonic creatures, even at my peak, I didn't dare to probe them …"
"The Abyss found a secret passage into the Inner Plane and hid it at the bottom of the Abyss … there was only a single demonic creature there. Despite how powerful it was, it took the Abyss countless years to finally find a way to deal with it"
"However, as soon as that method was created by the Abyss, it was stolen by the Soul Shrieker … Gu Qing Shan, it's with you right now"
If that's the case, then it really was the twin swords Heaven and Earth!
Gu Qing Shan sighed deeply and decided not to think about it anymore.
This matter was a bit strange, but there was too little information to investigate the truth.
The only thing that could be confirmed right now was that the secret of the frozen corpses had been unraveled.
A unique door!
Behind this door was a future that didn't have an apocalypse.
The frozen corpses had marked this door to be at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss!
There was a way out.
I need to take a look right now!
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking that, the void of space shifted as a skeleton descended from above.
The skeleton opened its mouth and spoke with a hoarse female voice:
"Gu Qing Shan, it's almost time, the Dusty World will soon leave this space vortex, have you finished your business?"
"Yes, I've successfully forged the key" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The hoarse female voice warned her: "Do not rashly open other Reality Gates, a lot of the void has already been destroyed, there are unknown terrors and dangers lurking inside"
"I understand" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Quickly go, I hope that we will meet again in the future" the hoarse female voice said.
Gu Qing Shan solemnly clasped her fist: "Thank you for taking care of me"
The hoarse female voice chuckled and said: "I have bestowed the Sacrificial Dance upon you, you must continue to practice it and continue to evolve, it will become a great helper for you"
"Understood" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Where is Lola? The returning Bramble Bramble blood, are you not going to stay behind? "the hoarse female voice asked.
Lola appeared, bowed to the skeleton, and respectfully said: "Thank you, sir, I will be returning with Gu Qing Shan"
The skeleton wanted to say something else, but stopped and spoke: "Alright, you may leave this place, I will also be leaving"
She tapped the void of space with her bony finger.
Oong — — —
Invisible fluctuations swept forward.
"The barrier has temporarily disappeared, you must leave immediately!" the hoarse female voice urged her.
"Very well, I hope that I will be able to return in the future, at that time, I will thank you in person"
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist to the other party as a white fog appeared around his body.
[Fog Realm Descent]!
He took a few steps into the fog and disappeared from the Dusty World.
In the entire world of ruins, only a skeleton was left standing in the same place.
Its figure appeared lonely and cold.
Its head was lowered as if it was thinking about something.
Not too long later.
Innumerable sounds of activity could be heard behind the skeleton.
Several dozen auras appeared, circling around the skeleton like an invisible gust of wind.
Voices came one after another:
"There is a problem with the Evil World, the one who started the war seems to be here"
"Indeed, but I didn't think this esteemed lady would go against the iron law and secretly send that person away"
"And the Bramble Bramble blood, it should have also returned to the Dusty World …"
"Lady, can you explain, why — — -"
The skeleton slowly looked up.
"I'm not in a good mood today, if anyone says another word, I'll kill them" it casually declared.
In a split second, all the voices disappeared.
The dozens of auras disappeared without a trace as if they never existed in the first place.
Silence.
In the world of ruins, there was only dead silence.
The skeleton was still silent.
After a while, it sighed and muttered in a low voice: "Pitiful person, your fate … what will it be like?"
"How regretful … I probably won't be able to see it …"
The skeleton turned around and walked into the void of space.
