The Samsara.
The human realm.
A certain village.
This was a true mortal world, there weren't any Professionists here, not to mention Saint Chosens.
The Combatants' gazes were all focused on the other side of the world, inside the human tomb.
No one would turn back to pay attention to the situation in the human realm.
And no one would pay attention to a normal village.
Sha … sha … sha …
A man walked down the mountain path and entered the village.
"Shogun is here"
"Hurry, Shogun is here"
"Invite him here!"
The villagers all spoke at once.
Shroud smiled and followed the group into a certain courtyard.
"What's the situation?" he asked.
"I was bitten by a venomous snake on the mountain" a sobbing villager replied.
"It's fine, don't worry" Shroud smiled.
He walked up to the stretcher, looked down at the person who was bitten, and lightly squeezed the wound with his hand.
Black blood splattered out.
The person who was bitten opened his eyes.
"Sir … Shroud … you saved me?" the man struggled to speak.
Shroud smiled warmly and replied: "You didn't properly chant the Radiant Incantation, did you? If you did, the venomous snake wouldn't have dared to bite you"
The people next to him quickly agreed: "That's right, I always chant the Radiant Incantation when I go hunting every day, that's why I'm always able to return safely"
"That's right, I'm the same"
"Who isn't?"
The man blushed and gritted his teeth: "Shogun, I'll keep that in mind, next time I won't trouble you to personally leave the mountain"
Shroud smiled, patted his shoulder, told him to rest well, then left.
He left the village and slowly disappeared from the mountain path.
At the top of the mountain.
Shroud was standing on top of a large boulder, looking down at the ground.
In his eyes, the entire world had turned into nothingness, leaving only numerous villages filled with sprites of light.
The sprites of light were flickering, giving off a faint glow.
"Very well, this entire region has basically submitted to me … the power of the River of Life is continuously growing …"
While Shroud was muttering to himself, he suddenly sensed something and took out a book from behind him.
He quickly flipped through the book until he reached a certain page — —
There were three rivers drawn on this page. They were the River of Life filled with light, the River of Death filled with darkness, and the River of Blood in the middle.
Shroud's gaze became even sharper as he stared closely at the River of Death. After a while, he finally spoke in disbelief:
"You left? Why? "
The relaxed expression on his face had completely disappeared, and it was replaced by a calm expression.
"Gu Qing Shan … will never leave the River of Death unless she has no other choice."
"In other words, the situation on his side is very grim."
Shroud silently put the Book of Prophesized Destinies away and gazed at the faraway horizon.
A magnificent city towered over the horizon.
The land where human civilization flourished.
"I wanted to take it slow, but it seems like I can't wait any longer …"
Clouds of light slowly manifested in the sky, illuminating Shroud.
The friendliness and gentleness of the God of Light completely disappeared, replaced by a dignified and angry look.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation is my and Gu Qing Shan's territory, no one can stop this!"
His body turned into a ray of light and merged with the clouds in the sky.
The clouds moved along with the wind.
Under the illumination of the sky, the white clouds drifted towards the horizon.
…
The Earth World.
Gu Qing Shan was sweating profusely as she swung her stone sword.
Wherever the sword went, the void of space would become blurred.
As more and more of these blurred areas appeared, another space-time would appear, manifesting various phenomena before quickly disappearing.
Gu Qing Shan's movements became faster and faster, like flowing water, swiftly performing the entire set of swordsmanship 49 times.
"Let us help you comprehend your swordsmanship"
The Delimitation sword and Chao Yin sword flew out from the void of space, attacking him from two different directions.
Gu Qing Shan blocked each attack and knocked the two swords away with her stone sword.
Kih!
As the two swords were about to attack again, they suddenly stopped.
They were stuck in the void of space, maintaining their forward stabbing motion without moving a single inch.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan put her swords away.
He lowered his head and fell into thought.
Two breaths' worth of time later.
The Chao Yin sword shook a bit, as if it was scared, swung around in the void of space for a bit, only when it found that everything was normal did it carefully went back into the void of space.
The Delimitation sword slowly landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"I was kind enough to help you practice your swordsmanship, but you're showing off your swordsmanship to me" the Delimitation sword complained.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "It was because of your help that I was able to fully comprehend this [Screen of Time]"
"What exactly does this technique do?" the Delimitation sword asked.
"Time stops when you touch the sword, every time you touch it, it stops for a few seconds" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"This swordsmanship is quite impressive, but it doesn't allow you to see yourself without dying" the Delimitation sword regretfully said.
Gu Qing Shan appeared contemplative and slowly said:
"I've noticed that this swordsmanship has a total of two styles, one of which is the [Screen of Time] just now, but there's another style that's incredibly profound. I can faintly sense that I need to master that style in order to surpass the realm of not dying without dying, my strength will greatly increase, and my swordsmanship will also reach Great Accomplishment"
The Delimitation sword said: "Then what are we waiting for, continue training"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and simply looked at the void of space.
A line of crimson text appeared there:
[Your wounds are currently recovering]
[Before your wounds are fully healed, it's best not to train your swordsmanship at full strength, otherwise, your wounds will become even more troublesome]
[Attention: Only after your wounds are fully healed will you be able to exert the true power of the human realm's inheritance]
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
He suddenly put the stone sword away and said: "I've trained for too long, I need to rest for a bit before I can continue breaking through"
[Then what do we do now?] the Delimitation sword asked.
"Let's take a look at the current situation of this void of space" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He lightly flicked the spine of the Delimitation sword.
The empty world completely disappeared.
Outside was the deepest underground of the Earth World.
The silver platform that was originally used to store the human realm's weapons had been unfolded and turned into a large command platform.
Gu Qing Shan stood in front of the platform.
An electronic voice resounded: [Greetings sir, the Goddess has passed, I am an intelligence support device that she created, what are your orders?]
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What is the current situation of this void of space?"
[Please take a look] the electronic voice replied.
A screen of light appeared to display the boundless space vortex.
Silence.
Emptiness.
No living beings.
The electronic voice continued: [Ever since the battle at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss, all living beings of the void of space had been taken away]
[The few remaining living beings had been completely wiped out by the numerous Apocalypses]
[There are no longer any targets in the void for the Apocalypses to destroy]
[After searching multiple times, the Apocalypses had left this void of space]
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then sighed: "The Awaitings of the [Chaos] faction weren't wrong, the only bad thing is … killing everyone would be too much"
At the beginning, the Awaitings were divided into two factions.
One faction advocated imitating the Apocalypses and joining them; this was the [Order] faction.
The other faction advocated the destruction of all living beings, causing everything to fall into chaos in order to deceive the Apocalypse and obtain a place of peace; this was the [Chaos] faction.
The current situation was very much in line with the [Chaos] faction's expectations.
The electronic voice continued: [Greetings sir, what are your orders?]
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and sighed: "This place has become a land of death, there are no other living beings, what else do I have — — -"
Her voice abruptly stopped.
Wait a minute.
… there really aren't any living beings left?
I remember a certain fellow hiding in the dusty hallway, hiding in the depths of the walls.
He had lived for countless years.
He was the first Giant in the infinite parallel worlds.
The Giant of Beginning!
This calamity might not necessarily be able to kill him.
Back then, I had to look up to him, but it's different now.
— — -if he's still alive, I'll be able to ask for some information.
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "Is there any way to help me travel to the dusty hallway right away?"
The electronic voice replied: [There is. Back then, when the Goddess brought Su Cher to the dusty hallway to search for your excellency and the ruins of the Starlight Empire, she left behind a warp coordinate]
"Send me there" Gu Qing Shan said.
[Very well, warp will begin in 5 seconds] the electronic voice replied.
The mechanical watch on Gu Qing Shan's wrist began to let out a beeping sound.
5 seconds later, the warp was activated.
Gu Qing Shan left the Earth World.
