Gu Qing Shan felt like he was hallucinating.
The River of Death is me; I'm the manifestation of the River of Death's will.
Since time immemorial, countless souls have fallen into slumber at the bottom of the River of Death.
Without the River of Death, these living beings' souls would only wander the void of space, unable to rest, unable to find peace, unable to escape the fate of dispersing.
This is the Merit of the River of Death. It's boundless and immeasurable!
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and sensed the wondrous sensations around him.
The will of Huang Quan is waiting for me.
— — as the God of Death, what kind of Huang Quan Divine Skill do I need?
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a brief moment.
Everything that happened since he participated in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy flashed through his mind.
My first wish was — — -
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, feeling a deep desire in his heart.
The void of space around him was trembling, as if it was interacting with his inner sight.
A few moments later.
A giant vortex appeared in the sky.
The dim power of Huang Quan Origin descended from above and entered Gu Qing Shan's body.
At this time, the Forgetting River, Samsara Palace, Bridge of Life and Death, Hell's Gate, Tie Wei Mountain, countless ghosts and deities all looked at him.
— — -the ascension of a Pillar God.
Everyone carefully remained silent, waiting for the ceremony to end.
Time slowly passed.
All the light faded away.
Everything returned to normal.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes with a gratified expression.
He suddenly disappeared from the world of Huang Quan.
…
The human realm.
Gu Qing Shan appeared on top of a raging river.
The Senluo Sword Realm had completely sealed off his surroundings.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the flowing river below his feet and muttered: "Receive!"
The void of space shifted.
A man appeared in the sky, currently in a tranquil state of slumber.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand.
Splash!
The man fell into the water.
Glug glug glug — — -
The man suddenly poked his head out of the water and spat out a mouthful of water.
Gu Qing Shan flew down, picked up the man, and landed on the beach.
"You're finally awake" Gu Qing Shan said.
"But … I seem to have lost all of my power, even the power of the Frozen Corpse" the man said.
"Shroud, now that you've entered the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, all of your powers must be sealed — — - even your memories had to be preserved through my full efforts" Gu Qing Shan told him.
"What's the current situation?" Shroud wiped the water off his body.
Gu Qing Shan told him what had happened.
Shroud seriously listened to everything, then spoke with a solemn expression: "There is a hidden will of the Samsara in the human realm, if that's the case, I will most likely have to be extremely careful"
"Yes, the situation was extremely dangerous, so I didn't wake anyone but you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
His eyes fell on the void and stared at the previous notification.
[You've obtained Huang Quan Divine Skill: Divine Guidance]
"You will be able to travel between the worlds of life and death at will, leading the living to death and the dead to new life; or you can inject new power into the world system of the River of Life and Death."
— — That's right, this was what Gu Qing Shan had always desired.
To awaken the living beings slumbering within the [Order]!
To allow them to join the world of the Samsara and obtain a chance to fight!
Shroud pondered briefly, then said: "So that's how it is. You're the Lord of the River of Death, and the River of Life must have also fused with the Samsara, so the most likely place for it to appear would be the human realm"
"But I've never heard anything about the River of Life" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Then, it might have been hidden away — — should I look for it?" Shroud asked.
"Yes, you're the Overlord of Radiance, once you find the River of Life, you would most likely be able to regain your strength without being rejected by the Samsara, just like how I have Merit" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Shroud nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, I should be the one to do this, no one else would be able to do it"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Indeed, whether it's knowledge, insight, technique, wisdom, experience, or even combat, you're the strongest — — - I'll leave this matter to you. I have many enemies in the human realm, so it's not convenient for me to stay for too long. To keep your identity a secret, I'll return to Huang Quan first"
Shroud patted his chest and proudly declared: "I am the First Above the Star Crown, the Lord of Infinite Origin, the Unspeakable Secret Apocalypse — — - don't worry, I will travel the human realm, quickly find the River of Life and join the battle"
"Very well" Shroud nodded.
"I'll be waiting for your good news" Gu Qing Shan said.
He pressed a hand on Shroud's shoulder.
[The power of awakening the Apocalypse, activate!
[The power of awakening the Apocalypse: If a living being once held the power of the Order, you can once again awaken the power of the Order within their body]
After doing all that, the Senluo Sword Realm dissipated. Gu Qing Shan also disappeared without a trace.
The human realm.
Shroud stood by himself on the beach, falling into thought.
"Although I've lost all of my powers, Gu Qing Shan helped me awaken the [Order] — — - I am the King of War of [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Human Army] …"
He lightly called out. A semi-transparent UI that gave off a blue glow appeared in front of his eyes.
A line of text was written on the UI:
[The Order is awakening, three minutes remaining]
Three minutes.
Then let's wait.
Shroud silently nodded. A voice resounded from not too far away:
"Brat, which mountain are you from?"
Shroud froze, then realized after a few moments. I've already lost all of my powers, so of course I wouldn't be able to notice someone approaching.
He looked towards the forest behind the beach, only to see a few ferocious looking robust men emerging from it.
"And who are you?" Shroud coldly asked.
The leader of the men replied: "We are bandits from this area, currently recruiting manpower at the foot of the mountain. Are you willing to join us, rob and become rich together?"
Shroud chuckled: "With just you guys? How about this, if you can stop me, I'll join you "
"Stop you?" the robust man doubtfully asked.
Shroud raised his chin and spoke with a deep voice: "Indeed, ever since I was born, I have been the master of the Myriad Deities, no one in this world has ever been able to stop me. If you can stop me — — even if you can only stop me for a thousandth of a second, it will be the glory of your life"
The other side fell silent.
"Big bro, let's not recruit this brat" one of his subordinates whispered.
"Why not?" the robust man also lowered his voice and asked.
"This brat has a screw loose in his head" the subordinate replied.
"Only someone with a screw loose in their head wouldn't be afraid of death. From now on, let him lead the charge — — - I'm definitely going to have him" the robust man said.
The robust man waved his hand behind him: "Brothers, come out!"
Over a dozen bandits suddenly appeared from behind the bush.
Shroud's expression changed.
I've lost all of my powers, while the other side has over a dozen people, all of whom are experienced martial artists.
He looked towards the void of space.
The number in the void of space changed:
[Two minutes remaining, the Human Army will be activated]
Two minutes!
Shroud hurriedly shouted: "Wait — –"
His voice was cut off by the robust man:
"Brothers, let's go together and properly entertain this newcomer!"
"Yes!"
"Remember, beat him up a bit more, otherwise, he won't be honest in the future!"
"Yes, Boss!"
The bandits wielded their weapons and charged towards Shroud.
Shroud couldn't help but look at the [Order] UI in the void of space.
There's still one and a half minutes left until the army awakens.
… This is … awkward …
As the saying goes, random punches can kill a master, I don't even have a bit of strength left, it's almost like I just drowned, how am I supposed to fight against over a dozen bandits?
As the Lord of the Myriad Gods, if I get beaten up by a bunch of bandits right here and now, how am I supposed to continue living?
What about my reputation?
Wouldn't I be laughed at?
— — -this isn't a small problem.
If Bali were to find out about this in the future, he would use this to laugh at me until the end of time.
… I can't.
"Mortals, you will never be able to stop an entity like me"
Shroud scoffed, sped up a bit, then leapt up — — -
Seeing this, the bandit leader panicked.
He shouted: "Hah! Brat, even if you can't win, you don't have to jump into the river — — why are you swimming — — don't run — - "
"Brothers, get into the water and catch him!"
"Yes!"
Splash splash — —
The bandit jumped into the water and shouted: "Don't run!"
Splash splash splash — —
Shroud swam as hard as he could and shouted: "What's there to chase!"
Splash splash splash — —
The bandit also swam as hard as he could and shouted: "Stop if you have the guts"
Splash splash splash splash — —
Shroud desperately swam forward and shouted: "Don't chase if you have the guts"
One of the bandits couldn't help but shout: "What the fuck, are you a water dog? Everyone, chase after him and beat him up!"
Splash splash splash splash — —
30 seconds left!
Splash splash splash splash — —
10 seconds!
A bandit grabbed Shroud's pants from behind!
8 seconds!
Shroud managed to escape, but his pants were pulled off!
3 seconds!
Shroud was still swimming forward!
Suddenly, a line of glowing text appeared out of nowhere:
[The Order has awakened]
Shroud sighed in relief, feeling like he had come back to life.
…
The realm of Huang Quan.
Gu Qing Shan appeared from the void of space.
At this point, all the supernatural phenomena had faded away, leaving only the Deities in the sky bowing to him and speaking in unison: "Congratulations, new Deity, for becoming a True Deity"
Gu Qing Shan raised her hand and bowed back.
A second later.
The surging waters of the Forgetting River parted.
A female voice resounded from the depths of the river: "New God of Death, please come forward"
"— — the other Pillar Deities have also come"
This voice resounded throughout the entire realm of Huang Quan.
An old lady leapt into the air from the Samsara Palace and spoke: "By the Lord God's order"
The Gates of Hell opened. A middle-aged man with a pair of blades on his back walked out and said: "By the Lord God's order!"
A familiar female voice resounded from the top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain: "By the Lord God's order!"
Gu Qing Shan focused her gaze.
Only to see a group of people standing on top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
The one in the middle was a woman who wore a female wraith mask, her body was covered in strands of threads that seeped into the void of space.
At some unknown point, a strand of thread had silently flown over and wrapped itself around Gu Qing Shan's hand.
