Tap … tap … tap …
Gu Qing Shan walked alone along the deserted coast, looking at a huge ship not far away.
"Another boat," Gu Qing Shan said with a complicated expression.
The last time the Spirit Kings fought for supremacy, it was also a boat like this.
But this time, it wouldn't be so simple.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared and reappeared on the deck of the ship.
"Everyone's here!"
Someone said.
Gu Qing Shan looked over, only to see that there were already Asuras, humans, immortals, divine beasts, demons, and all of them had different appearances and behaviors.
These dead came from the other seventeen layers of hell. They were the elites of the past eras of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the leaders of each layer of hell.
"Hmph, he looks like a sword cultivator from the mortal world."
A long-nosed monster in human form snorted.
Its tone was a little uncomfortable, and its feet moved to the side without leaving a trace.
Sword cultivators —
The personalities of these professions were not very peaceful. They would draw their swords at the slightest disagreement, and the closer the distance, the harder it was to guard against them.
The others remained silent.
At this time, the giant ship shook and slowly started moving.
The giant ship slowly sailed towards the vast sea.
The sky quickly darkened.
Night fell.
A bright moon rose.
They could no longer see the shore, and all around them was the sparkling sea.
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
The Bone Ring on his finger once again emitted a slight vibration.
In an instant, a line of scarlet words appeared before his eyes.
"From now on, this place will be separated from the flow of time in the outside world."
"When the selection ends, about three breaths of time will have passed in the outside world."
[You can now check the winning rules for this round's Devil King Tournament:]
"Survive for a quarter of an hour, or die in the past."
[Attention: The Candidate will enter a fragment of the past, placed in the middle of the war between the Heaven realm and Huang Quan]
[— — Due to the Merit enhancement of the God Lord Huang Quan and the Huang Quan Righteous God, you will be able to add a few conditions to the rules]
Gu Qing Shan glanced at it and immediately held the Bone Ring, silently thinking.
A few moments later.
He retracted his Divine Sense.
The rules had changed:
[All Candidates must protect the Death God of Huang Quan and survive for an hour before being allowed to return]
Gu Qing Shan glanced through it and silently said: "That's it"
The Bone Ring's voice came from it: "I only wanted you to become the Devil King easier, why did you increase the difficulty?"
"15 minutes is too short, an hour is only enough for me to investigate the secrets of the past era" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The skeleton lady said, "That battle was extremely dangerous, and it was difficult to even return alive, yet you still dare to think about pursuing the secret!"
"The past of the Samsara is a secret, no one can return, including me," she said.
"The Samsara's past is a secret, no one, including me, can return" the skeleton girl said.
. "Gu" The Gu "Shan sighed:" Samsara "The Samsara is," Tian "is is." Tian "is." Tian "Shan" Samsara "
"But the Devil King Warden Rod has given me a precious chance to return to the past and see what happened back then — — – perhaps I'll be able to gather some useful information"
"You won't even be able to survive, let alone gather any information, that's suicide" the Gu Qing Shan said.
"Senior" Gu Qing Shan changed the way she addressed him and sincerely said: "What I'm best at is survival, please give me a chance"
The Gu Qing Shan went silent.
A few moments later, she scoffed and said nothing else.
— — -apparently she had agreed.
A second later, the Bone Ring gave off an invisible fluctuation.
All the text quickly disappeared.
A ball of dim yellow flame fell from the sky, and under the gazes of the 18 people, it slowly turned into words:
[Selection rule: Survival]
[Space-Time: The first great war between the Heaven realm and Huang Quan]
"All the candidates must survive for two hours in this battle before they can return safely," Xiao Luo said.
[If you have any questions, immediately ask, no one will be waiting]
An Asura spoke: "Survive for 15 minutes? In other words, we might die? "
The text turned into a new line of text:
[If you die in the past, your soul will scatter, never to return]
Everyone's expression changed.
An Asura appeared excited and muttered in a low voice: "I've heard of that legendary era, this time, I'll be able to witness the battle between the Emperor Of Heaven and the Devil King, it'll definitely be an eye-opener"
The other human man, who was fully armored, shouted, "What are you doing here?
"Are you kidding me? I only want to become the Devil King, but you want us to die?"
He then asked: "Can we give up on this competition? I don't want to be the Devil King anymore "
The line of fiery text changed again:
[You can withdraw]
The man immediately said: "I want to withdraw!"
His body turned into a streak of flame that shot out from the deck of the ship, quickly disappearing into the void of space.
The remaining 17 people exchanged glances.
A feather-clad woman glanced at the wraith not too far away and asked:
"Disgusting big guy, aren't you going to withdraw?"
The wraith's entire body was covered in green mucus, glaring at her with its bell-like pale white eyes: 「 The position of Huang Quan Devil King is worth risking my life for 」
"Ah? You don't even care about your life, what exactly do you want? "the woman asked with interest.
The wraith looked at her and replied: 「 When I become the Devil King, I want a delicate bird like you to be my food day and night, eaten by me every single day — — - after all, your sins haven't been repaid, you won't die 」
It drooled and muttered: 「 Whenever I think of a Divine Beast like you struggling in my stomach, I feel like all my sins are worth it 」
The woman wasn't angry at all and instead seemed interested, shaking her head while giggling: "Always saying such ugly things, do you think I'm one of those little girls?"
The rest of the people said nothing and silently waited for the competition to begin.
— — – how many of them were easy to get along with to become the leaders of the Hells, so how could they be scared away by a single sentence?
Gu Qing Shan also calmed down.
The skeleton girl was the God Lord of Huang Quan, so she had never left the stage of history.
She didn't object to me investigating the past.
This indirectly proved that she didn't have any ulterior motives and was trustworthy.
— — -which also meant that she didn't know too much about what happened in the past.
If she knew everything, she wouldn't have wasted my efforts to investigate what happened in the past.
Even as the God Lord of Huang Quan, she didn't fully understand the secret of the Samsara …
For some reason, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit uneasy.
"Samsara …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice. …
On the deck of the ship.
Seeing that no one else was talking, the flaming characters manifested into a mass of flames, flew in front of the ship, expanded in the air, and turned into a wall of flames.
One could faintly see the intense fluctuations of light inside the wall of flames, but it was another world of time.
"One hour …" one of the candidates muttered.
"That's a bit long, seems like the challenge will be very cruel" another candidate commented.
The ship quickly entered the wall of flames and disappeared without a trace.
…
Their surroundings were filled with a faint yellow mist.
The 17 candidates observed their surroundings, only to see that the ship was floating on top of a dead ocean.
The ship seemed to have lost its momentum, not moving forward, not moving back.
Gu Qing Shan concealed his presence right away and retreated into the shadow of the ship's cabin.
He held the Chao Yin sword in one hand and the Delimitation sword from the void of space with the other, then retracted his inner sight and stood still.
There were so many people on the ship, so if something happened, it would definitely alert everyone.
— — -he had sensed some sort of omen of death and was carefully analyzing it.
The other 16 candidates were all different, they either left the group like Gu Qing Shan and stood by themselves, or carefully observed the situation.
The slimy wraith muttered something and shouted in a low voice: "Go, take a look at the ship's situation"
A ferocious red and black glow erupted from his body and split into three writhing masses of light.
One of the masses of light quickly entered the cabin of the ship, while the other two flew one after the other towards the depths of the ocean.
A few moments later.
The three balls of light flew back and landed on his hand, turning into a few skinny little ghosts.
The imps chattered for a while.
「 Strange, there's nothing around us, is this really the Huang Quan of the past era? 」 the wraith muttered.
The others also found it strange and exchanged glances.
Gu Qing Shan hid on one side like a meditating monk, remaining silent.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the sky.
A giant hand appeared in the sky.
This giant hand appeared to be moving slowly but was actually very fast, ignoring the wraith's attempts to dodge or struggle, it caught the wraith in its hand.
「 Bastard, who is it that dares to try and take advantage of me!? 」
The wraith angrily roared, clasped his hands together and unleashed several spells at once.
The spells didn't cause any damage to the hand, instead, they triggered the runes hidden on the hand, which began to give off a bit of Elemental light.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
This hand was created from a spell.
— — -this is a spell!
Could it be, all of us, the ship, as well as this dead ocean are all within the same spell?
Everyone had the same thought at the same time.
A second later.
A giant mouth appeared in the sky.
The hand stopped for a bit, then grabbed the wraith, pulled it back into the sky, and stuffed it into the mouth.
It began to chew in a frenzy.
The wraith let out a series of screams, which slowly faded away.
Gulp.
The sound of swallowing could be heard from the sky.
The wraith's screams stopped.
It was eaten alive by the mouth.
The deck of the ship fell into silence.
— — -the first candidate was eaten in front of everyone just like that.
It was eliminated!
