The entire world froze.
Gu Qing Shan felt like an invisible waterfall was flowing around his body.
This waterfall isolated him from this space-time.
Outside the waterfall, Lola, Shen Xue, and I were heading towards the main road to wait for the truck driver.
If I were to enter this space-time …
With a single thought from Gu Qing Shan, the waterfall parted to reveal the true appearance of this world.
At the same time, a line of crimson text appeared:
[Attention!]
[You've activated the forbidden sword: 'Mirror of Flowing Sand']
[You've completed a space-time substitution of yourself]
[— — You've replaced yourself and arrived at the current moment]
['You' from this moment in the past will directly appear in the future where 'you' are]
[From this moment onwards, you can do anything, as long as it doesn't interfere with what you've already done in this entire timeline]
[When you arrive in the future again — — to the moment when you activate the swordsmanship, you must return to the location where you activated the swordsmanship in order to conceal the matter of your substitution and ensure that it doesn't cause space-time chaos]
[Furthermore, you must complete the entire closed-loop process before you can use the Space-Time swordsmanship 'Mirror of Flowing Sand' again, otherwise, you absolutely cannot use this swordsmanship]
[— — This is all to avoid drawing the attention of the Time clan, as well as to avoid being discovered by the terrifying existences in the River of Space-Time]
[I wish you luck]
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
He took a step forward.
Instantly, the other 'me' in the room disappeared.
— — -that 'me' had gone to the future and was currently practicing swordsmanship in a desert.
While I've replaced him, I can't touch anything that 'me' has already done. I have to ensure that these things continue to develop according to their original trajectory until I use 'Mirror of Flowing Sand'.
"Gu Qing Shan, let's go, the truck driver is already starting up the truck" Lola urged her.
Gu Qing Shan silently looked at the two girls.
In the original timeline, I followed them to the side of the road, waiting for the truck driver's truck to start up.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Lola, I suddenly recalled something very important that I must do right now"
Lola was surprised: "Huh? So now we — "
"We'll split up. We'll go to the desert, and you'll head there immediately after you're done. Right, is there any risk of you dying?" Deepsnow asked.
"No, don't worry" Gu Qing Shan said.
"But —" Lola still wanted to say something.
Gu Qing Shan immediately said, "My matter cannot be delayed, and neither can you. Quickly go, trust me."
Deepsnow said, "Alright then, you have to come quickly."
"Yes, don't worry."
Deep Snow pulled Lola who was reluctant to leave, pushed open the door and walked out.
The door closed.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and pondered.
This sword technique actually caused some problems in spacetime.
It stratified time and space.
On the surface, everything was moving forward according to the original trajectory, until the moment when he was practicing his swordsmanship in the desert.
Everything looked fine.
He would rush to the desert at that moment and replace his past self, allowing the timeline and events to remain the same.
But beneath the surface —
There was another layer of space-time.
Both space-time and events were changed.
I didn't go to the desert with Lola and the others.
In other words, everything I do from now on will be a part of my 'dark history' that won't be recognized, just like the undercurrent under the calm surface of the water, unknown to anyone.
However — —
Causality isn't empty.
I'll be changing the original trajectory of many things.
Except for what I've already done.
This is also the meaning of the phrase 'you can do anything, but you can't interfere with what you've already done in this timeline'.
Gu Qing Shan stood in front of the window and silently sensed the rest stop.
There were no followers of the Earth God in the rest stop.
The closest follower to me — — was about a few hundred kilometers away.
Then …
He suddenly saw the truck driver carrying a heavy bag hurriedly running back to the rest stop.
The truck driver made a phone call.
He was pacing back and forth in the corridor outside the rest stop, apparently waiting for something.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Time slowly passed.
A car came from the road in the distance and stopped outside the rest stop.
The truck driver immediately ran over and got on the car.
The car turned around and headed towards the city.
"What happened? Where's your car? "the truck driver asked.
"There's a problem, someone towed it away — — let's not talk about that, it's all thanks to you today — — I'll pay for your gas back and forth, and I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow" the truck driver said.
A smile immediately appeared on the driver's face.
"We're old friends, no need to be so polite"
"It's only right"
"Hah, look, how strange, there's still someone walking on such a secluded road"
The truck driver suddenly said.
The two of them turned to the side of the road, only to see a young man standing on the side of the road, smiling at them.
The carriage flashed past the man's body and quickly left.
Gu Qing Shan stood on the side of the road, silently waiting for a while.
The sound of footsteps came from behind.
"The God of Travel?" Gu Qing Shan asked without turning around.
The footsteps stopped.
A voice came: "So you purposely let my follower see you?"
"That's right, I wanted to meet you and talk about a few things" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He turned around, only to see a thin man standing in front of him, carrying a backpack on his back and silently observing him.
"What do you want to talk about?" the God of Travel asked.
"I'm in charge of the Earth, while you're in charge of people's journeys, from this perspective, we actually have a lot of areas where we can cooperate" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Your followers are growing too quickly, this is a matter of offending others — — - you'll definitely be ostracized by the Deities in the future, so why would I want to get involved in this mess?" the God of Travel asked.
Gu Qing Shan squinted her eyes and replied: "I thought I wouldn't offend anyone. After all, you've had countless Deity wars throughout history, the Deities have changed one after another, so you should be used to the competition of faith, even maintaining some semblance of courtesy"
The God of Travel stared closely at Gu Qing Shan.
All of a sudden, another person appeared from behind him.
This was a muscular man with a small mustache, several weapons were strapped to his back, as well as two Blades by his waist.
"I'm here to answer your question, because we didn't think that the Deific Authority of the Earth God would cover so many domains that you would be able to meddle in any of them" the muscular man replied.
"May I know your name, sir?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I am the God of Weapons, Li Jiu — — - just look at these weapons in my hands, they all require the smelting of metals produced by the Earth; as for Travel, it's related to the Earth itself; not to mention the Harvest, Burial, Forests, Rivers — — - no one can avoid your Divine Authority" the God of Weapons, Li Jiu replied.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "I like to mingle with everyone"
Two more voices sounded:
"This isn't mingle"
"This is stealing food"
— — -two unfamiliar Deities appeared from behind the God of Weapons.
Four Deities.
They surrounded Gu Qing Shan from four different directions.
"The God of Life said that when I'm strong enough, I can find her, she will help me join the faction of [Order]" Gu Qing Shan replied.
One of the Deities replied: "You will never be qualified enough to find her"
Another Deity immediately replied: "— — because you will die here"
Killing intent erupted from the four Deities, ready to attack.
Gu Qing Shan crossed his arms and sighed: "I've actually joined the faction of [Order] because I want to tell you a secret"
The four Deities looked at him, waiting for him to finish.
A line of crimson text quickly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[Tranquility, Passion, Expectation, Focus have been gathered]
[Begin your performance — —]
Sha!
Gu Qing Shan did a split in the air.
Caught off guard, the four Deities lowered their bodies and also did a split.
The God of Weapons, Li Jiu, didn't say a word and drew a spear; the other two Deities also moved, but both stopped.
Gu Qing Shan placed her hands on the ground, spread her legs apart, and stood upside down.
— — -singing performer.
"After the first successful split, you will be able to perform two more splits in different postures."
Li Jiu and the other Deities couldn't help but give up on attacking and followed Gu Qing Shan to perform the second split.
"Unfortunately, if you want to kill me, I won't be able to do anything about it"
Gu Qing Shan replied.
The void of space shifted.
With a resounding 'dong', the blood giant landed on the ground and raised both hands towards the God of Weapons — — -
Following that.
Countless Spirits of the Blood Sea manifested layer upon layer, surrounding the four Divinities.
The God of Travel exclaimed in shock: "That's impossible! Such a control-type Spirit Technique requires a lot of prerequisites, you clearly — — - "
Gu Qing Shan sighed, stood up straight, and performed the third split.
"You wouldn't understand the true power of the Earth God, even I have only just begun to understand it"
Saying so, he clapped his hands.
Boom!!!!
The ground roared.
A cloud of dust rose to the sky.
