「 Why is this happening? 」 the Dead Soul Demon King appeared confused.
An insect's voice resounded from behind it:
「 My strength is sealed, but my hunting techniques are something you will never be able to imagine 」
「 — — -this is the reason 」
As soon as it said so.
The Dead Soul Demon King's body trembled, the ferocity in its eyes slowly disappeared.
It slowly lowered its head, dead.
The sound of flesh being cut could be heard from behind it.
「 You're quite strong … you can help me end this battle of life and death faster 」
The Eternal Thought Stealer entered the Dead Soul Demon King's body through the hole on its back.
One breath.
Two breaths.
The Dead Soul Demon King moved.
It raised its head again and moved its body a bit.
A monstrous black flame was emitted from its body, forming a small hurricane.
— — -compared to when it was alive, it had become even stronger.
The Dead Soul Demon King appeared pleased.
It turned into a blurred image and quickly flew towards the top of the icy peak.
A few moments later.
At the top of the mountain, the divine temple of the Old Gods.
The Dead Soul Demon King stood in front of the ice cave, looking down at the water below.
— — -this large ice cave led straight into the ice mountain.
Although the blue water was clear and transparent, this place was so high that it couldn't see anything at the bottom.
Looking down at the water, it felt like looking down from the top of a bottomless cliff.
「 Could it be hiding in the water? 」
The Dead Soul Demon King doubtfully asked.
There was no trace of the Huang Quan Devil King in the entire divine temple, nor was there any place to hide.
After a bit of hesitation, the Dead Soul Demon King was about to jump into the water cave.
Suddenly, it stopped in its tracks.
「 No … this place isn't right, this mountain isn't right 」
The Dead Soul Demon King muttered.
It slowly crouched down and reached its hand into the water.
— — -its hand was blocked by the water, unable to reach in.
The Dead Soul Demon King pondered for a bit, stood up, walked up to the wall of the divine temple, and lightly wiped it with its claw.
The dust on the wall peeled off layer by layer, revealing the Divine Patterns inside.
「 Sure enough, this place's defenses are too tight, if I dive into the water, I might trigger this place's defensive mechanism and fall into a dangerous situation 」
The Dead Soul Demon King appeared hesitant.
I can't chase after it.
If I don't chase after it, do I just watch as the Huang Quan Devil King slips away?
All of a sudden, the Dead Soul Demon King's expression changed.
It stood there in a daze, silently looking at the void in front of it.
Time passed slowly.
After some time.
The Dead Soul Demon King's voice resounded again:
"Worlds Apocalypse Online – Origin, you want to ally with me?"
"Hmph, a low-level Sequence like you …"
It seemed to have sensed something and didn't continue speaking.
The Dead Soul Demon King walked out of the divine temple of the Old Gods, stood at the top of the snowy peak and looked down at the plains.
"200 million subordinates?"
It murmured, and the corners of its mouth gradually curled into a cruel smile.
"A bargaining chip like yours is barely enough."
"Fine, I'll cooperate with you, but you have to give me your two hundred million demonized people and let me modify them."
The Dead Soul Demon King's back split open.
Dozens of long insect limbs stretched out and swayed in the wind.
…
The Shelter Continent.
The situation of the battle was completely reversed.
The skeletons withstood the attacks of the Demonic Insect Legion.
Seeing this, the allied human forces in the city seized the opportunity to charge out.
With both sides working together, the Demonic Insect Legion was quickly routed. Combined with the fact that the Demonic Insect Legion had no one to command them, the insects quickly scattered and fled.
All the skeletons flew back, turned into blurred images, and disappeared into the void of space behind Gu Qing Shan.
— — -the battle was over.
A few leaders of the human race rode over on their warhorses.
"Your excellency who saved us, are you a Deity? Or a mortal? "the human leader asked.
"I'm a mortal" Gu Qing Shan replied.
A look of deep disappointment immediately appeared on the human leader's face.
The other leaders behind him also sighed and lowered their heads.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, suddenly remembering that this was the world of humanity blessed by God.
"— — but I can communicate with the Deity and borrow the army of Death from him to help you win against the Demonic Insects" Gu Qing Shan said.
Everyone became spirited.
"If I may ask, your excellency, which domain of Deity did you communicate with?" the human leader hurriedly asked.
"Ah, it's a Deity from the domain of Death" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Everyone had a look of understanding.
The skeletons were exuding a thick aura of Death, clearly from the Underworld, they couldn't be faked.
"Which means, a Deity from the domain of Death is paying attention to our world?" the human leader asked.
"Indeed" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Sporadic cheers could already be heard from the soldiers.
They were the descendants of the Deity and humanity.
The Deity was the supreme existence of this world, this was the education they received from birth.
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and replied: "The connection between the Divinities and your world is still very weak. If you can't strengthen this connection, when the next war erupts, I might not be able to summon the Divinities and summon so many troops of death to help"
"How can we strengthen the connection between our world and the Deity? Do we need to sacrifice them? "the human leader asked.
"Indeed, we need to sacrifice them" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"The Deity of Death — — how many lives do we need to sacrifice?" the human leader asked.
"No, you will return to the domain of Death sooner or later, the God of Death does not need you to sacrifice yourselves" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Under everyone's nervous gazes, Gu Qing Shan added: "You will need to offer food — — all kinds of delicious food, so that the Deity of Death can feel what this world produces"
No one said anything.
But Gu Qing Shan could feel everyone sighing in relief.
Just now, he had used his inner sight to take a look. This world was rich in natural resources, the Deity's favored humanity had always lived a luxurious life.
If it weren't for the Demon Insects, their civilization would've quickly developed.
"I'll have people prepare it right away!" the human leader said.
"Thank you" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
An hour later.
Outside the grand city.
A mountain of food had been piled up several hundred meters high.
Standing at the foot of this mountain, Gu Qing Shan asked emotionally: "How did you get so much food?"
"Is there a lot?" The human leader stood next to him and awkwardly answered: "We didn't prepare anything before, so we only brought out this much — — there were actually a lot of good things, but we didn't have time to gather them due to the war. We'll definitely do better the next time we offer sacrifices"
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit, then muttered: "The Deity will definitely be moved"
He raised his hand and patted the mountain of food.
The entire mountain was taken away by him.
"We'll meet again later"
After saying so, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Several ten thousand miles away.
He had turned into a winged Demon Insect that was quickly flying in the sky.
Not too long later.
He noticed a lone Demon Insect on the grassland below.
The Demon Insect seemed to have been heavily wounded in the previous battle, so it left the battlefield by itself and hid here, attempting to slowly recover.
The Demon Insect in the sky retracted its wings and dove downwards.
It was getting faster and faster — — -
When it swung its sharp front limbs to cut the Demon Insect into pieces, the Demon Insect didn't even have the chance to scream.
A pale yellow mist drifted out from the corpse and was quickly absorbed.
[You've killed another Demon Insect]
[You've obtained another chance to evolve]
[But you can give up on this evolution and accumulate the power you obtained to complete the Chaos Quest of 'Kill 15 Demon Insects']
[If you can complete the Chaos Quest, you shall receive the gift of Chaos and embark on the path of evolution to a higher level]
The Demon Insect chose the latter without hesitation.
After doing that, he once again took to the sky and headed towards a faraway place.
Until he was sure that he was far enough away from the grand human city.
The Demon Insect then chose a secluded mountain and released a small portion of the mountain of food.
Rumble — — -
The mountain was instantly filled to the brim with food.
The Demon Insect looked at this food and fell into thought.
The Eternal Thought Stealer's main soul had been killed.
— — -those clones would definitely use every second they had to evolve!
If I ran around to hunt them down, it would be a waste of time.
Perhaps by the time I find them, they would already be far stronger than I am.
I can't help but admire the Eternal Thought Stealer.
It knows how to run.
It knows how to create clones and control puppet bodies.
— — -and it can grow infinitely stronger.
Fortunately, I was already three times stronger than the Eternal Thought Stealer when I first appeared, otherwise I would have been in grave danger.
However — — -
Where did such a terrifying insect come from?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
But he didn't have the time to think about it any further.
Right now, he needed to rely on the resources of humanity to evolve faster and leave the Demon Insect clones far behind.
Once his strength reached a certain level — — -
I need to kill all the insects right away!
The Demon Insect landed on top of the food and began to devour it.
Lines of crimson text appeared:
[You're currently eating]
[The energy converted from food will provide you with the power to evolve]
[Eat another three tons of food, and you will undergo a major evolution]
[Do your best!]
The Demon Insect seemed to never be full, nor did it know fatigue, it only ate and ate and ate.
From how desperate it was, it didn't seem like it was eating, but fighting.
