Gu Qing Shan walked forward along the tunnel.
A few moments later, the path ahead became clear. There were several dozen piles of items piled up like a mountain.
Everything was haphazardly piled up.
Obviously, it had been a long time since anyone came here to take care of them.
Gu Qing Shan casually walked around, looking for something he could use.
"So messy …"
He couldn't help but comment.
— — -the Ding class treasure vault is the lowest tier, and it's a free gift, so there shouldn't be anything good here.
As Gu Qing Shan walked and stopped, he finally found an armor that was barely passable.
He casually picked it up and looked at it.
I have a sword, as well as a Death God summoning technique, how about I get some armor?
All of a sudden, the Delimitation sword's voice resounded in his mind:
[Be careful, someone is watching this place]
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and just stared at the armor with interest.
"Ah? How did you know? "he asked in his mind.
[Did you forget? I can see everything hidden in the void of space, there are several concealment formations here with people watching over everything] the Delimitation sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
This sword has a Thaumaturgy that allows it to see everything that has happened in the past, as well as everything hidden in the void of space, called [Reflection].
So those who were hiding were discovered by the Divine Sword.
Why is this Ding class treasure vault so heavily guarded — — -
Seems like the Deities of Huang Quan aren't willing to organize the large amount of heretic treasures, so they arranged a few people to watch over this place. If there's any good treasures, they'll immediately be notified.
Furthermore, if someone doesn't follow the rules, or if they have some sort of special technique that allows them to take a few items without the badge, they'll be able to find out in time.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan didn't bother to pick anymore.
He circulated his mana and patted the armor.
— — -it's you then.
Clang!
The armor let out a metallic screech as it split into several dozen components and attached itself to his body.
This was a set of armor that suited his current status.
[Battlemage's anti-demon armor]
[Characteristics: Medium sturdiness, elementary magic resistance, agility]
Gu Qing Shan moved her body and felt quite comfortable. The armor didn't feel like it was restricting her body.
He didn't know whose armor it used to belong to, but it now belonged to the Six Paths.
Then, it became his own.
Gu Qing Shan finished dressing, turned around, walked back to the tunnel, and pushed the door open.
"A set of armor? Not a bad choice. "The official smiled.
"I think so too" Gu Qing Shan agreed.
"Alright, you are now free to do whatever you want for a day, or you can immediately choose a corresponding organization and begin completing various missions to accumulate merit points," the official said.
"What is merit?" Gu Qing Shan asked with a confused look.
"Do you want stronger treasures?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to obtain power and status in the fused World of Death?"
"Yes."
"You want to obtain the Divine Armament of Huang Quan and become a deity of Huang Quan?"
"Of course."
"Then let's accumulate merit. Only when we have enough merit can we be recognized by the world and be granted the corresponding power and artifacts."
The official brought him back to the main hall and pointed at a certain place.
From afar, Gu Qing Shan saw a group of Demonic Gods there, apparently there to receive newcomers.
The Professionists who awakened from the Dead River went through the Beast Transformation Pond, chose their treasures, and conversed with the Demonic Gods in that area.
As Gu Qing Shan watched on, the look in his eyes changed.
The Saint Chosens of the human realm had all lost their Divine Armaments, some even had their powers sealed.
But the Demonic Gods of Huang Quan still had Divine Armaments.
In other words, they were still Deities.
Right — —
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled a certain detail.
During the battle against the Eternal Thought Stealer, he briefly entered Huang Quan and saw the Deities flying in the sky, then hiding on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, silently observing.
They were already Deities at the time!
— — -no wonder this official asked me if I want to become a Deity.
But then, why did the Samsara treat the human realm so harshly, but treat the Huang Quan realm so differently?
Was it just to make it easier for them to deal with the River of Life and Death?
The official explained: "Our Huang Quan has a total of six divisions, namely Hell's Gate, Bridge of Life and Death, Grand Tie Wei Mountain, 18 Hells, Forgetting River, and Samsara Temple"
"Hell's Gate is responsible for combat, Bridge of Life and Death is responsible for intelligence and covert activities, Grand Tie Wei Mountain is responsible for defense, Forgetting River is responsible for large-scale warfare, and Samsara Temple is responsible for everything else"
Gu Qing Shan muses: "You're missing one"
The official showed a smile that didn't seem like a smile and said: "18 Hells? Tsk tsk, the 18 Hells' mission is to imprison and torture the most wicked people of the infinite worlds, but the current Samsara doesn't have much use for it, and hell's Divine Armament is also a bit problematic, so you see — — - "
He pointed at the field. In front of the other Demonic Gods, there were many Death River Professionists who had just woken up.
Only the field that the 18 Hells were in charge of didn't have a single Professionist, making it seem cold and empty.
There was only a Deity of Huang Quan sitting there, bored out of his mind.
It was a young girl, casually draped in her usual green robe, holding a deck of cards in her hand, playing a card game with herself.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze became focused.
— — -this was Hook Soul of the black and white twin snakes, he once met her for a period of time.
Who would've thought she'd be watching over a stall here.
The official continued: "There aren't any powerful Deities in hell, and there aren't many missions, so the Merit they give is also very little, so no one is willing to go"
"Is that so …" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Indeed, just watch, as the other departments gain more and more Merit, the 18 Hells will be left far behind, becoming the weakest department of hell" the official said.
"I understand, thank you for your explanation" Gu Qing Shan sincerely said.
"No need to be so formal, I'm a regular deacon of the Samsara Temple, responsible for personally explaining a battle for the Dead River Combatants, this is for those with Merit" the official replied.
"Did you get it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Not yet, I'll need to complete your ID card to get it" the official took out a ID card.
While saying that, he asked: "Rhode, Dead River Necromancer, expert in summoning the dead — — do you have anything else to add?"
"I'm also an expert in melee combat with cold weapons" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well, that's been recorded, anything else?" the official asked.
"No" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The official gave her the ID card and said: "My mission is complete, and I've received my Merit"
"Thank you" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two of them clasped their fists.
The official turned around and went to receive the next Dead River Combatant who was qualified enough to be received by him.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and watched for a while.
It was quite rowdy, the other Professionists were trying to find a way to join the departments, but there was no one in front of the green-clothed girl.
The girl yawned, then laid down on the table and fell asleep.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then walked over and knocked on the table.
"Hah?"
The girl looked up with sleepy eyes, only to see a middle-aged man standing in front of her.
— — – Gu Qing Shan was currently using the identity provided by the True Old Demon, not his original appearance.
"Excuse me, I want to join hell" Gu Qing Shan said.
"There's almost no Merit in hell right now, are you an idiot?" the girl didn't try to be polite.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and handed the ID card over: "I'm more suitable for hell"
Seeing how serious he was, the girl took the ID card and checked it.
"Rhode?" the girl asked.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"You … why do you want to join hell?" the girl doubtfully asked.
"When I was alive, I was used to sending people to hell" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The girl glared at him, then looked at the ID card in her hand.
"Summoning the dead … as well as melee combat … these abilities are very suitable for the world of Huang Quan, no matter which department you join, you'll always find your own place — — why don't you want to try other ways of living?" the girl asked.
"I only want to send people to hell, this is my career" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The girl slowly came back to her senses. She stood up and said,
"Summoning the dead … so that's how it is …"
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "You understand now?"
The girl stood up and patted his shoulder: "Uncle, you're such an ambitious man — — - I'll take you in now, if there's any Merit to be collected, we can split it evenly"
She then tapped on Gu Qing Shan's ID card several times to complete the spell.
"Let's go — –"
The girl took Gu Qing Shan's hand, flashed, and left the Reincarnation Temple.
When Gu Qing Shan regained her senses, the two of them were already at the foot of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
Not too far ahead was the entrance to the 18 hells.
"Wait a minute, didn't you just say we split it evenly?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, now that you're one of us, I'm not afraid to tell you — — there's no Merit to be collected in hell right now, all the Deities have been transferred to other departments, only my sister and I are left" the girl answered.
"How did you manage to survive until now?" Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
The girl was a bit embarrassed and smiled: "Ahaha … we stayed up all night playing cards, then overslept the next day, and then the Samsara Clash for Supremacy began …"
"… What happened in Huang Quan at the time?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"When the Law of Huang Quan changed, all the other Deities of hell joined the other departments, only my sister and I were left"
"So … you decided to stay and guard hell?" Gu Qing Shan asked in admiration.
The girl lowered her head: "The Law of Huang Quan stated that hell must be guarded by a Deity, we woke up too late that day … by the time we figured out what happened, we were the only two Deities left in hell … we couldn't escape …"
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
This is really a sad thing.
Hearing his sigh, the girl hurriedly looked up and nervously asked: "Are you still willing to send people to hell?"
Seeing her hopeful expression, Gu Qing Shan recalled how she and her sister helped him before and softened his heart: "Don't be afraid … although we're few in number, as long as we're united, it's possible for us to surpass the other departments"
At this point, a white-clothed girl appeared at the end of the road.
— — -it was the other member of the black and white twin snakes, Duo Ming.
The white-clothed girl first looked at the green-clothed girl, then at Gu Qing Shan, then realized.
"Big sis!"
She joyfully shouted: "That's great, you finally managed to get someone from the Dead River to replace us!"
Gu Qing Shan froze and slowly turned to look at the green-clothed girl.
"What nonsense are you saying!?" the green-clothed girl hurriedly shouted.
She looked at Gu Qing Shan and apologized: "I'm sorry, she thought you were a Deity and didn't know you were actually this weak"
