The rain continued to pour.
Gu Qing Shan was sitting next to the corpses, focusing on cooking a pot of food.
The old pixie was walking back and forth with his staff.
"What are you doing walking back and forth?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I need to calm down …" the old pixie muttered in a low voice.
"That's true" Gu Qing Shan agreed.
What happened just now contained too much information, enough for her to come up with various guesses.
Some of the possibilities couldn't even be considered, as they made her feel like her head was about to explode.
Gu Qing Shan decided to stop for a bit to calm down.
— — he began to cook a meal.
"Why am I so unlucky to run into such a dangerous secret?"
While muttering, the old pixie scowled as he walked, occasionally swinging his staff to take the equipment and clothes off the corpses.
"Aren't you trying to get rich?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Hah, getting rich is the most basic thing to do, but after what happened just now, it's already far beyond what I can handle" the old pixie replied.
Gu Qing Shan took a bite of the porridge.
— — delicious, warm.
"Don't think about it, let's get some supper" Gu Qing Shan told her.
The old pixie's nose twitched, then jumped up and called out: "Seafood porridge? That's good, but I have something more important to do — — I need to wash away the bad luck on my body! "
"How?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm going to die, Gu Qing Shan" the old pixie told her with a serious tone.
"Die?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"Yes — — this is a mystical ritual of us pixies, to avoid bad luck through death"
The old pixie stood still and muttered something.
"There's nothing wrong with dispelling bad luck … but there's no need to die" Gu Qing Shan advised her.
The old pixie didn't seem to be moved and suddenly shouted: "Burning flame, burn my body to ashes, to dispel bad luck, death is the only way!"
Hoh — — -
A blazing flame ignited on its body.
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
Are you really trying to die?
The flames crackled for a while.
The old fairy was completely burned to ashes, and the flames gradually dimmed.
Gu Qing Shan stared blankly at the flame.
In order to avoid the misfortune brought by the Emperor Of Heaven, the old fairy died?
Suddenly, the flame flickered and burned fiercely again.
The flames condensed into a ball the size of a thumb, gradually revealing its body and facial features.
The old fairy reappeared!
He walked out of the fire and let out a long breath. "Transforming from a wooden body to a fiery body, I feel much better."
Gu Qing Shan: "… Why are you alive again?"
The old fairy said in surprise, "I lost a life. Now I'm a fire fairy."
He flew to Gu Qing Shan's side, scooped himself a bowl of porridge and gulped it down.
Gu Qing Shan rested for a while and gradually relaxed.
— — After what the old fairy had done, there was nothing that he couldn't accept anymore.
The two finished their porridge and continued on their way.
On the way, although the rain was getting heavier and heavier, they didn't run into anything else.
Just from this point alone, the old fairy's divination technique was somewhat trustworthy.
Soon enough, the sun rose and the rain stopped.
They had arrived at the location marked on the map.
This was a mountain valley.
A stone tablet stood at the entrance of the valley, with some faint markings on it, as if something was written on it countless years ago, but was later destroyed by someone.
"That place is right in front of us" Gu Qing Shan said.
As he walked into the valley, the stone tablet gave off a flash of light that turned into a wall to block him.
A blank voice resounded:
[You are not a Saint's Chosen of the Human realm]
[If you want to enter the Human realm, the Starting Ground, please use another entrance]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
What?
I've been on the road for an entire night, and now you're telling me that I can't enter?
Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out to touch the transparent wall.
It was as solid as a rock.
I can't get through.
[Ignore it] the old fairy spoke up.
It grabbed Gu Qing Shan's collar and pulled him inside while laughing: [We're not a Saint's Chosen of the Human realm, but we know a lot of people who are from the Human realm. For example, the old guy, the young guy, as well as the old guy's family member — — - let's go!]
The two of them melded into the wall of light and slowly made their way into the valley.
A line of crimson text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[The old fairy has activated her Quipcraft: Shameless]
[You've entered the Human realm's Saint's Chosen's personal entrance]
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
The old fairy sent him into the valley, then regretfully said: [Alright, I can only send you this far]
"You're not going in?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Acting shamelessly is one of the strongest types of witchcraft, but for some reason, once I use this witchcraft, the time I can stay here will be consumed very quickly. So, I can only go back to sleep now," said the old fairy.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
It seems like the Samsara was willing to let the pixies in — —
But the pixies' actions were truly worthy of caution, especially during this crucial period of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy. The Samsara wasn't willing to let the pixies stay for too long.
The old fairy looked at him and said: [Gu Qing Shan, I've burned away all the misfortune behind you, your enemies won't be able to find you for the next 3 hours]
[After 3 hours, everything will return to normal]
[Regardless of what you're doing, make sure to seize the time]
Gu Qing Shan sincerely thanked him: "Thank you for your help, I'll definitely think of a way to release all of you from your slumber in the future"
The old fairy smirked and said: [Then I'll be waiting for your good news]
He changed into a dark blue nightgown covered in stars, yawned, and slowly disappeared from Gu Qing Shan's sight.
Gu Qing Shan stopped in place.
Lines of crimson text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[You've obtained the pixie's luck]
[Within the next 3 hours, no one will be able to find you]
[Just as the old fairy said, seize the time]
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath.
He sped up and entered the mountain valley.
Instantly, the scenery around him changed.
The world went away.
A completely new world appeared below his feet.
Mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Deep within a dense forest.
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing in front of a cave.
Around him were numerous half-naked ape-men with leaves tied around their waists.
These ape-men seemed to be ignoring Gu Qing Shan's arrival.
They were sitting in a circle, respectfully kowtowing towards the entrance of the cave.
Very quickly.
A figure walked out from the cave entrance.
— — -it was an old ape-man.
Unlike the other ape-men, his eyes were filled with wisdom and calmness.
This old ape-man immediately noticed Gu Qing Shan.
He waved his hand at Gu Qing Shan, then turned around and went back into the cave.
Gu Qing Shan didn't understand what was going on, but since the other party signaled for him to follow, he had no choice but to follow in order to understand the current situation.
Not too long after entering the cave, Gu Qing Shan saw the old ape-man.
The ape-man started a campfire, sat comfortably on top of a rock, and narrowed his eyes to observe Gu Qing Shan.
「 I don't know where you came from, but you're obviously from the outside 」 the old ape-man said.
「 That's right, I came here specifically, but I don't know where exactly this place is 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 This is the starting point of the human realm 」 the old ape-man said.
「 Starting point? 」 Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Indeed, I'm the one responsible for giving explanations — — - for countless years, I've been here, trapped here, giving explanations to everyone who enters 」 the old ape-man replied.
Gu Qing Shan tried asking: "Is this your job?"
「 Indeed, this is my job. Because of my mistakes in the past, I was punished to stay in this ignorant, primitive era, inside the body of an old ape-man 」
The old ape-man showed a self-deprecating smile.
「 I was born in an era where civilization had reached an extremely advanced stage, possessing unparalleled wisdom and knowledge, but because of my mistakes, I was imprisoned in this ignorant, backward, and murky ancient era 」
He reached out his long, human-like arm that was covered in black hair, carefully observed it, then continued: 「 No living beings around you can understand you, all of your knowledge and spirit are incompatible with this era. You've fallen into eternal solitude — — what could be more painful than this? 」
Gu Qing Shan asked: "I haven't asked, you are — —"
The old ape-man sighed and replied: 「 Young man, in truth, you can see unfortunate people like me in every era 」
「 Usually, in these ancient and backward eras, people have a special word to describe people like me 」
「 — — Prophet 」
