As the golden light converged on Gu Qing Shan's body, he began to become faint and illusory.
『No, I was only one step away!』
The lord of Demonic Flame Purgatory angrily shouted.
He reached his hand out to take the Chao Yin sword from Gu Qing Shan's hand, but his entire body went straight through Gu Qing Shan's body.
The Eternal Thought Stealer cautiously took a few steps back.
He had also noticed that as the golden light enveloped Gu Qing Shan's body, all attacks were useless.
All of a sudden — —
Gu Qing Shan's body turned into a golden streak of light that shot into the sky and disappeared into the void of space.
『He ran away? No, I remember that the Final Offering can't be stopped … running away means death』 the Eternal Thought Stealer commented.
Crow shrugged: "He obviously couldn't help himself — — you can't blame him for that, so your battle will continue"
Sha! Sha!
Two golden streaks of light descended from above and hooked onto the Eternal Thought Stealer and Crow.
The two of them were instantly hooked into the void of space and also disappeared.
Only the lord of Demonic Flame Purgatory remained.
『How regretful … I had already made my preparations, only missing the Ancient God sword … and I would have been able to go …』
Saying so begrudgingly, his body was enveloped in a layer of flames.
He and the flames both disappeared.
…
The entire world was spinning without stopping.
Gu Qing Shan felt herself passing through countless worlds, flying towards an unknown location.
She had experienced this feeling before.
However — — -
Last time, I destroyed the [Demon King Order] to meet the Giant.
This time, I clearly haven't done that.
Why was I transported as well?
A faint, gigantic figure appeared from the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
— — -it was the Giant!
It was the Giant who released my soul!
The Giant was completely hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to make out his features and appearance, but due to the halo of light around his body, Gu Qing Shan could confirm that he was a humanoid entity.
The Giant spoke: 『Although we have already left, due to certain unique circumstances, we left behind a few measures after creating the 900 million World Layers』
"After we leave, countless worlds in the void will fall into calamity."
"As a member of our faction, you shouldn't die under the influence of that spell. We will bring you here."
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I still don't know — —"
The giant interrupted him and said, "You must leave at once. Don't worry, someone will come to fetch you."
The giant pointed a finger at Gu Qing Shan.
After doing this, his towering, mountain-like figure disappeared into nothingness.
At the same time, lines of scarlet text quickly appeared in the void.
"This world has a special image left behind by the Ancient Gods."
"You did not trigger the remnant image from back then. Instead, you triggered another remnant image."
"After further analysis, it has been confirmed that the conditions for triggering this image recording are quite harsh. The specific conditions are as follows:"
[Condition 1: The 900 million World Layers is heading towards its end]
"Condition 2: Be in the world where the ancient gods once resided."
[Condition 3: Wield a weapon forged by the Old Gods: Chao Yin]
[Condition 4: Walk the path of the Old Gods and fight against the sequences of living beings]
[Condition 5: You do not belong to a normal apocalyptic sequence, you are the representative of Primal Chaos]
[Condition 6: You are a Deity of the void, an Earth God]
[You have fulfilled the above 6 conditions]
[The power of the Old Gods has been activated, it will help you escape from danger and reach an unknown location]
Gu Qing Shan's vision blurred.
An even stronger sense of dizziness manifested.
Under the influence of an invisible force, he felt countless worlds spinning away from him, opening up a path of nothingness for him.
After an unknown amount of time.
Everything stopped spinning.
His surroundings slowly stabilized.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a cold and hard sensation on his face.
There was the sound of people all around him.
The smell of disinfectant.
Hurried footsteps.
Noise.
All of a sudden, someone joyfully called out: "It's born! It's born! "
Followed by many other joyful voices.
Gu Qing Shan took a bit of time to get used to it and stood up.
He slowly retreated and found a chair to sit down.
— — -this place seemed to be a hospital, but the majority of the building was made of wood, only a small portion of it was made of brick, the architectural style was very conservative and old.
Many uniformed doctors and nurses were coming and going.
Someone walked past him and casually said: "Wait a bit, I'll come find you when I'm done"
Gu Qing Shan turned to look.
A female doctor glanced at him briefly before quickly walking towards a nearby sickroom.
Gu Qing Shan obediently waited where he was.
He released his inner sight to check the sickroom. Only to see a woman who had just given birth hugging her child, thanking the female doctor.
The female doctor said: "Let us all thank the God of Life, it is because of her protection that the birth of a life can be so smooth and peaceful"
Around the sickbed, everyone closed their eyes and chanted a prayer in praise of the God of Life.
After the prayer was finished, the female doctor smiled and left the sickroom.
She walked in front of Gu Qing Shan and said without a trace: "Come with me"
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and stood up.
The two of them walked to the top floor of the hospital one after another.
There was no one else here.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the city under the night sky.
Light flashed and neon lights flickered.
Unfortunately, there were no aircrafts to be seen, there were only cars on the streets.
— — the very old kind of cars.
Occasionally, one or two large behemoths could be seen drifting away.
"Those are …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
"A True Deity — — - a True Deity who has revealed her true appearance" the female doctor replied.
"Madam, if I may ask, you are — — -"
"I am your guide, the God of Life" the female doctor replied.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised and asked: "What exactly is going on here?"
The female doctor replied: "First of all — — - you have brought two small problems to our world, you will have to deal with them yourself — — after all, that is the Sacrificial Dance of the Death, none of us will interfere"
"I will take care of my own matters" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The female doctor put her hands in her pockets and silently observed him: "Alright, relax a bit, this is our turf, no Sequence, not even the Bronze Lord can reach this place"
"Then, I'm safe?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Safe …"
The female doctor muttered and sighed: "Yes, you are safe"
She continued to explain: "In the past, we created everything in the void of space, revered as True Deities by living beings, everything operated according to our will. But one day, something happened — — -"
"Numerous bronze pillars appeared in the void of space, sealing a few strange entities"
"We've fought against them before."
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What was the result?"
The female doctor replied: "At first, they weren't a match for us at all, but they knew a certain technique — — -"
"The Art of Ten Thousand Lives by One"
Gu Qing Shan held her breath and muttered: "What exactly is so powerful about this technique?"
The female doctor replied: "This technique created the Sequences, drawing countless living beings into it and converting them into their power"
"As living beings no longer believed in us, our power began to weaken"
"We realized that this was the beginning of our demise"
"But no matter what we did, we couldn't go against that technique, it was too powerful"
"So we could only hide"
"We built this world in a hidden and unknown place."
"— — the world of the Old Gods"
The female doctor pointed at a tall building in front of them and said: "Attack with your full strength, test your current strength"
Gu Qing Shan looked back, only to see that the tall building was completely dark, still surrounded by construction sites, obviously still unfinished.
It was currently nighttime, so the workers had already left.
Following her words, Gu Qing Shan casually unleashed a sword phantom.
The giant crescent-shaped sword phantom flew out, then quickly weakened until it completely disappeared in the air.
Gu Qing Shan's expression turned cold, noticing that her supernatural powers were slowly disappearing.
A line of crimson text appeared:
[This world is a blessed land of the Old Gods, completely isolated from the outside world, you cannot unleash supernatural powers]
"Only a small number of rare racial talents can be preserved here," Lin Feng said.
The female doctor walked in front of him and stared straight into his eyes: "You have many identities, but none of them can be used in our world, nor can you exert any power — — only the most fundamental source of power will be able to unleash your power"
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The faith of living beings — — this is the foundation of our status as Deities and Creators"
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "What should I do?"
The female doctor replied: "Although you are the representative of Chaos, living beings do not desire eternal destruction, so you only have the identity of a Deity left"
"The Earth God" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Indeed, you need to make living beings accept you again, recognize you, and believe in you — — only then will you obtain power" the female doctor replied.
"Like what happened in the ward just now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, you can reveal your identity, or disguise yourself as a mortal, in short, you need to find a way to gain the faith of living beings"
At this point, the female doctor was about to leave.
"Milady, I still have a lot of questions" Gu Qing Shan said.
The female doctor stared straight at him and solemnly told him: "Earth God, if you cannot gain the faith of living beings, you will slowly lose your position as a Deity and become a mortal"
"Only by maintaining your position as a Deity and obtaining the power of the Old Gods will you be qualified to truly join us and hear our secrets"
"… You don't have much time left"
The female doctor turned around and slowly disappeared down the stairs.
On the top floor, only Gu Qing Shan was left standing in the darkness, contemplating.
…
The void of space flickered.
Crow and the Eternal Thought Stealer both fell into the wilderness.
"Ouch ouch ouch ouch! It was just a fall, why does it hurt so much!? "
Crow loudly cried out.
The Eternal Thought Stealer stood up from the ground, stretched his body a bit, then was about to leave.
"Wait for me!" Crow hurriedly stood up.
"Don't follow me, or I'll kill you" the Eternal Thought Stealer shouted.
"We're allies" Crow shrugged.
"I don't need you!" the Eternal Thought Stealer roared.
He abruptly flew into the air — —
Then, he fell down and fell flat on his face.
"Huh? You've lost your power? I don't think I can exert my full strength anymore, that's bad news. After all, this is the wilderness, there's no telling what strange things might appear "Crow muttered.
He abruptly went silent.
A few flickering fireflies appeared in the darkness not too far away.
