The Ice Emperor stood still.
He casually drew a blank Card from the void of space, clasped his hands together, then silently stared at Gu Qing Shan.
"At first, I didn't pay much attention to you, but it wasn't until these traitors showed themselves again that I understood your value. Why were you able to fool me?"
Gu Qing Shan's image appeared on the blank Card in his hand, while a star appeared on the top left corner of the Card.
The Ice Emperor pondered for a bit, then muttered to himself: "A normal Saint's Chosen? No, I can sense the will of Chaos forming [Worlds Apocalypse Online] behind you, and … there's also an ultimate mystery that deceived me "
Following his words, two more stars appeared on the top left corner of the Card.
Three stars.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything, only wielded the Delimitation sword in one hand and the Chao Yin sword in the other.
"A decent weapon, quite courageous as well, not to mention that you were able to get along well with those traitors of mine"
A look of admiration appeared on the Ice Empress' face as she said softly, "Do you know? If it was any other Bronze Lord standing here, they would most likely tear you to shreds, but I'm different "
"I believe that" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Ah?" the Ice Emperor asked.
"When your excellency was selecting talents, you required them to at least be able to find your traces before giving them the chance to follow you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — it was because Fusi discovered the problem with the Mountain Bar that she was accepted by this Bronze Lord and joined the War Sequence.
The other Awaitings all had similar experiences.
The Ice Emperor displayed a profound smile and said: "I hope that there aren't any mediocre subordinates under me — — -mediocre should belong to the other Sequences"
"You want me to become your subordinate?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
As soon as he said so, he activated [Divine Guidance].
He disappeared from the Primordial World and directly appeared in Huang Quan.
But as soon as he appeared, the Ice Emperor was already standing in front of him.
The Ice Emperor appeared surprised and said: "You guided yourself to the Huang Quan realm? How interesting … "
He opened the Card in his hand.
The card depicted a dark river, and Gu Qing Shan was standing on the river, worshipped by countless ghosts and deities.
In the upper left corner of the card, the number of stars quickly increased to seven.
The Ice Emperor's face darkened as he murmured, "The God of Death, the person who is protected by Chaos, and has an unknown secret that can deceive me …"
"There's no need to think too highly of me. After all, even if I came to Huang Quan, I still couldn't get rid of you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
As he spoke, he thought about how to escape.
There was no need to fight.
Just by sensing the other party's aura, anyone would be able to tell just how incredible the power possessed by the existence that possessed the Ice Empress was.
"I'm thirsty for talent, so of course I have to follow you to the Yellow Springs to take a look," the Ice Emperor said.
"But I don't like war" Gu Qing Shan said.
He once again activated [Divine Guidance] to leave Huang Quan and return to the primordial world.
The Ice Empress was still in front of him.
"Why are you back? I saw some people in the Yellow Springs, are they your friends? Are you afraid that I will hurt them? Very well, it seems we're one step closer to reaching an agreement "the Ice Emperor smiled.
Gu Qing Shan casually unleashed a sword phantom.
The Ice Emperor stood still.
Ting — —
As the sword phantom struck his body, it turned into frigid air that quickly dissipated into nothingness.
The Ice Emperor slowly spoke: "Possessing the Ice Emperor's body, I can only use about 10% of my strength, but that's more than enough to kill you"
"Is that so? I don't really believe you "
Gu Qing Shan swung both swords.
But the sword phantoms continued to strike the Ice Emperor's body, giving off a series of 'ding ding dang dang' noises.
The Ice Emperor clasped his hands behind his back, completely at ease, as if he didn't care at all.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand and two hundred strikes had passed.
The void of space shifted.
A phantom sword pierced through the Ice Emperor's neck.
— — -the Bygone Era Sword Technique, [Wu Karmic]!
The Ice Emperor appeared surprised and muttered in a hoarse voice: "… Void Sword Technique"
He grabbed the phantom sword and pulled it out from his neck.
"Strange, this strike of mine should be able to heavily injure or paralyze someone, why were you still able to pull out the phantom sword?" Gu Qing Shan sincerely asked.
"Because your Causality Law doesn't hold — — - the one you stabbed was the Ice Emperor, not me" the Ice Emperor casually replied.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: "Is this the legendary [One Lives Ten Thousand Techniques]?"
The Ice Emperor's expression changed several times as intense killing intent erupted from his body.
He looked down at the Card in his hand.
On the Card, a phantom sword had manifested behind Gu Qing Shan's back.
At the top left corner of the Card, the number of stars had reached 9.
"Order of the 9 Stars … you have so much potential, but you've never been able to unleash it, how regretful …"
The Ice Emperor muttered as his killing intent slowly disappeared.
"You wanted to kill me just now, why have you changed your mind?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Ice Emperor casually flicked his hand into the void of space.
Over a dozen Cards appeared around him, each of which depicted Fusi, the Thousand Dragons Ancestor, Shen Ji, the golem, and the others.
— — all the Awaitings.
They all had their eyes closed, apparently in slumber.
The Ice Emperor took off the Card where the Thousand Dragons Ancestor was and showed it to Gu Qing Shan.
"The dragon race is a very interesting race, their Dragon Hex is unstoppable, and this dragon has the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, so it desires to find the most powerful Dragon Hex in the legends — — -"
"Because of that, it joined me, and I'm helping it find that Child of Hex, this is a win-win situation"
The Ice Emperor continued to explain.
As Gu Qing Shan stared at the Cards of the Awaitings, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
"— — Gu Qing Shan"
This was Fusi's voice!
"I'm here, milady, how are you doing?" Gu Qing Shan quickly replied.
"We've been caught, but I still have a [Quicksand Grasp], so we can still lend you a hand"
"Milady, what do you mean?"
"No living being can escape from the Bronze Lord, fortunately, it has manifested on the Ice Emperor's body and can only exert 10% of its power, but you must first create an opportunity — — -" Fusi quickly explained.
"What should I do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lady Fusi continued to whisper.
After the Ice Emperor finished explaining the Dragon Ancestor, he suddenly turned to Gu Qing Shan and asked: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Qing Shan regained her senses and nodded: "You are powerful to the extreme, I trust that with your help, it will definitely get what it wants"
The Ice Emperor shook his head: "Young one, your knowledge is still too shallow. You should know that the Dragon Hex that it is searching for is something that even I would have to spend a lot of time and effort to find — — - but with my help, there would be a sliver of hope"
"Then, joining your service is actually a win-win situation?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Correct" the Ice Emperor replied.
"Your excellency, I want to ask, what is the Hex that the Dragon Ancestor is searching for?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
While dragging out the topic, he listened to Fusi's words:
"If you want to make him lose his focus, it would be best if he forgets to pay attention to our Cards, then everyone can use their power to help you …"
In front of Gu Qing Shan, the Ice Emperor saw that he was asking for guidance and chuckled: "You know about the [Ten Thousand Lives] technique, but not the [Void] technique?"
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
The Ice Emperor asked: "Let me ask you, what is this dragon's hex?"
"Dragon Ancestor Origin Hex, Dream" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Do you know the origin of this Dragon Hex?" the Ice Emperor asked.
"— — -it is said to be the origin of all Dragon Hex, capable of causing all living beings to develop in a different direction, like a dream that lasts for 3 days and 3 nights" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Ice Emperor glanced down at the Card in his hand.
On the Card that Gu Qing Shan was on, a Magic Dragon whose entire body was engulfed in black flames silently manifested.
I didn't expect this person to have the dragon bloodline.
On the top left corner of the Card, the 9 stars had fused into one and turned into a crescent moon.
— — -Moon-Class War Card!
The Ice Emperor thought for a bit and decided to tell her: "The Dragon Ancestor Origin Hex initially manifests as a dream, but if a certain secret method is found, it can be continuously improved until it finally becomes an ultimate technique"
"Very well, there's no harm in telling you. There are three powerful techniques in the void, one of which is the [Parallel World] technique"
"When the Dragon Ancestor Hex evolves to its ultimate form, it will be reborn and turn into a [Parallel World] technique"
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a few moments, then muttered: "So that's what it is"
The Ice Emperor replied: "This dragon is pursuing the ultimate power, that's why he's qualified to become my subordinate and fight for me"
"So this is also a kind of glory?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Ice Emperor replied: "Many people spend their entire lives immersed in illusions, willingly blinded by illusions. They will never look up at the stars in the sky, and they won't understand that the changes of eras are all hidden in the dark until it manifests itself in the form of war and harvests them all"
"— — -Only those who truly desire to become stronger are qualified to join my Echelon. I'm willing to lead such people to see the truth behind the endless worlds"
"What if someone rejects you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"There aren't many chances to join the Echelon of War. If you become powerful enough but are taken away by another Echelon, you'll know what despair is" the Ice Emperor replied.
"I mean — – what if someone rejects you?" Gu Qing Shan insisted.
The sincere expression on the Ice Emperor's face slowly disappeared.
"You know that [Ten Thousand Lives] is a spell, so why don't you feel despair?" the Ice Emperor asked.
"I only know the name of this spell, but I have no idea what it actually is" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Ice Emperor casually replied: "It's very simple, the Bronze Lord you speak of, whether it's [War], [Reincarnation], [Gloom], [Authority], [Fallen], or any other Echelon, all of them have grasped this spell"
"— — -Even if it's a Deity, rejecting the wielder of this spell is the same as rejecting a path to survival"
Gu Qing Shan faintly understood.
He couldn't help but sigh: "You're right, then after some consideration, I've already come up with an answer"
"Ah? I'd like to hear the details "the Ice Emperor replied.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and said: "I think …"
At this point, the surroundings were completely silent. The Ice Emperor was fully focused on him, while Gu Qing Shan hadn't used any other Spirit Skills, and he had already unleashed a total of 1200 strikes just now.
Lines of crimson text appeared in the void of space:
[Prerequisites: Silence, Passion, Expectation, Focus have all been fulfilled]
[You can activate — — -]
Gu Qing Shan abruptly crouched down.
Sha — —
He did a cross-cut!
Caught off guard, the Ice Emperor also did a cross-cut!
His eyebrows furrowed as he angrily shouted: "You — — -"
In the blink of an eye, all the Awaitings opened their eyes on their Cards.
"Give me all of your power!" Shen Ji shouted.
The other Cards all gave off rays of light that were infused into Shen Ji's Card.
Shen Ji raised his hammer high and shouted: "Karma Severing!"
The hammer struck the void of space, but the Ice Emperor roared in anger.
He couldn't hold the Card in his hand anymore.
The Card with Gu Qing Shan's image was knocked flying in the air. Everything on it disappeared without a trace.
— — the Card became blank again.
Fusi's voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind: "Hurry and leave! Use the only path you can take to escape — — he lost that Card, so he won't be able to find you again "
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit stifled and spoke in a low voice: "Lady, I will definitely return to save you"
As soon as he said so, a dark golden glow appeared around his body.
The Earth God coin appeared in his hand.
At the very next moment.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
— — he had gone to the other side of the Reality Gate.
The Earth World.
