So the Chao Yin sword was forged by the four Pillar Gods of the past.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered: "I should've thought of that"
On the way here, neither the man-made Soul Artifact [Divinity] from the Age of Old, nor the Myriad Divinities manifested from the blood of the frozen corpses had the power of [Soul Liberation].
Because of that, the giant shadow I saw on the icy peak of the Old Gods must've surpassed all Divinities.
It was one of the four Pillar Gods!
Recalling that scene, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but become a bit lost in thought.
After a while.
He asked: "If you recognized that as the Water God's Book of Weaponry, why didn't you come out to greet it?"
The Book of Seabed scoffed: 「 I'm the true foundation of the Divine Pillar, it's only an outdated weapon, why would I want to meet it?
」 "At least we could've gotten familiar with it so that it wouldn't attack us" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Book of Seabed begrudgingly replied: 「 It can't be helped, it has an extremely clear goal, so everything revolves around that goal — — it wouldn't give up on that goal just because I showed up 」
That's probably why you didn't want to show yourself, Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
"What exactly is it trying to do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 I'm not sure, it seems to have entered a new mode, I don't know what it's trying to do either 」
The Book of Seabed continued: 「 I suggest that you don't show yourself for now, take a look at what happens in this world before making your decision 」
"That's what I think as well" Gu Qing Shan replied.
After obtaining the Earth God's hammer, I've obtained the first steps of the Earth God's true power.
All skills I use now are equivalent to Spiritual Skills, and Spiritual Skills are Divine Skills, no longer restricted by the Laws of this world.
Since I can protect myself, I'll stay here and see what happens.
— — of course, I can't expose myself.
I've made up my mind.
"I need to think of a way to hide myself and see what happens in this world …"
Gu Qing Shan stood up and began to search around the room.
The table was very clean.
The floor had just been cleaned.
The bed …
The bedsheets were creased, which meant they'd just been changed.
Gu Qing Shan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that such a remote rest stop could be so hygienic.
This almost subverted everything he knew.
He walked back and forth and finally found two strands of hair under the bedside table.
Gu Qing Shan lightly picked up her hair and activated [All Beings Equal].
His figure grew slimmer and slimmer.
"No, it's not this one."
Gu Qing Shan stopped All Beings Equal and put down one of the strands of hair.
He held the other hair in one hand.
After a while, he turned into a young man with a buzz cut.
Lines of crimson words quickly appeared:
"You activated Ultimate All Beings Equal and became a man named Jiang Dongliu."
"Do you want to obtain his memories and all of his skills?"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and said, "No need."
He only wanted this identity. He didn't really want to be an ordinary person.
There was a sudden tremor.
A few high-pitched screams came from outside, followed by a hubbub of noise.
Earthquake?
Gu Qing Shan instantly went through the window and landed on the ground outside.
Looking back, she saw that the roof of the building was quickly covered in cracks, almost about to collapse.
A few moments later.
The rest stop's staff, passengers, and passing drivers all ran out and stood on the empty ground outside.
"Earthquake?"
"What the hell, what happened?"
"This is definitely an earthquake!"
"No, no, no, I've experienced an earthquake before, this doesn't look like an earthquake at all …"
"It doesn't? Look at what happened to the building! "
Everyone discussed among themselves.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly turned around and looked at the dining hall.
"Gu … Gu … Gu …"
A strange sound mixed with a short scream of pain resounded at the same time.
Everyone felt like they were being strangled, completely silent.
A second later.
Blood splattered on the glass window of the dining hall.
Bam!
The door of the dining hall was slammed open.
A man stumbled out and shouted: "Help!"
Hurried screeching could be heard from behind him.
Everyone saw a sharp insect limb piercing through the man's head and dragging his corpse back to the dining hall.
No one could suppress the fear in their hearts anymore.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
— — even he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in the dining hall at first.
Everyone dispersed in an uproar.
The drivers all ran back to their cars.
They started their cars, wanting to quickly leave the rest stop.
A devout believer loudly called out: "O God of Exorcism, I praise you, please help us!"
Bam!
The door of the dining hall was sent flying and fell on the square.
A large monster covered in blood slowly crawled out from the dining hall.
It had four long legs, a body similar to a giant human with a pair of cicada wings on its back. What was originally a human head was flipped up high, replaced by an insect head.
"Gu … Gu … Gu …"
The insect observed the situation on the square.
The believer instantly shut up, turned around, and ran for his life towards the main road outside.
As soon as the insect saw him, it flapped its wings and flew forward.
Gu Qing Shan slightly stepped aside.
When the insect flew past him, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the afterimage of the long wings.
The insect instantly lost its balance and fell to the ground.
Gu Qing Shan walked forward and crouched down to take a closer look.
"What exactly are you — — - forget it, Book of Seabed, help me take a look"
The Book of Seabed's voice came: [Didn't you want to hide for now? Wouldn't you be exposed as soon as you act?]
"I can't let a monster eat a human in front of me" Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
He reached his foot out and stepped on the insect's head.
The insect angrily roared and swung its four sharp legs, forming countless afterimages in the air as they slashed towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan lightly flicked his finger at the void of space and blocked all of the insect's attacks.
[I've finished my inspection, no wonder neither of us noticed at first — — - this guy was a human, but he suddenly mutated] the Book of Seabed said.
"I saw his human head, but why did he mutate?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
As the insect's attacks became more and more hurried, Gu Qing Shan became a bit impatient and kicked the insect until it fainted.
[Because there's a parasitic insect inside his body that's completely devoured his soul and replaced him]
The Book of Seabed continued: [Furthermore, the world's structure is changing, that 'World Ruler' is purging …]
"Purging what?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[It lost its original controller, and has also noticed an unprecedented crisis in the Land of Divinity, so it has no choice but to purge everything] the Book of Seabed explained.
"Why haven't those Divinities descended to protect living beings?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[If it's a purge, the Divinities wouldn't appear, or perhaps they would appear under another identity] the Book of Seabed replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "This insect gives me a familiar feeling, I'm guessing that it was created by the Eternal Thought Stealer"
"Are you sure it was him?" the Book of Seabed asked.
"— — he's a very thoughtful insect that knows many secrets that we don't, and his abilities are even more astonishing" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Book of the Seabed said, "Right now, many humans in the entire world have already turned into bugs. They will start a massacre and will eventually be killed by humans. This will be a great calamity, and it is also the only way to purge them."
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
The Eternal Thought Stealer's actions clearly intended to topple the entire system of Divinity.
Once the entire system of the world collapsed, the Eternal Thought Stealer would be able to rebuild the Insectoid civilization on top of the ruins, wiping out everything while killing itself.
Fortunately, the Book of Seabed noticed and reacted.
Unfortunately …
This world would still have to pay a heavy price.
[Gu Qing Shan, what do we do now?] the Book of Seabed asked.
"… There's no other way, I have to do my best" Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Didn't you want to hide?] the Book of Seabed asked.
"— — living beings are innocent, and I am their God"
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes and began to sense all of the Earth God's worshippers.
An invisible power began to radiate from her body.
A few moments later.
Lines of crimson text appeared from the void of space:
[You've activated Divine Power: Earth Body]
[The bodies of all living beings shall be safe and sound, just like the earth itself. This is your promise to your worshippers]
[Furthermore, you've activated your personal Divine Power: Earth God's Hammer]
[Any enemy who fights against your worshippers shall be treated as if they were fighting against you]
[Their bodies shall fall into a state of collapse]
[— — To rebel against the Earth God is to disregard the existence of your soul]
[At this very moment, you shall fight alongside your worshippers!]
All of the worshippers of the Earth God in this world sensed it.
"Earth God …"
"God is responding to me!"
"God!"
"I … I understand …"
The worshippers silently understood the will of God.
The first to act was a young man.
He was a student trapped in a classroom while the insectoids were slaughtering their way out.
The young man opened his eyes, stood up from his seat, and quickly walked to the back of the classroom.
There was a fruit knife hidden there, originally used to eat fruits.
But now — –
The young man wielded the knife and rushed out of the classroom.
He looked at the insectoid at the end of the hallway and loudly shouted: "Stop eating people!"
The insectoid jumped forward without hesitation and stabbed its long limbs into the young man's body.
The young man's expression paled and abruptly shouted: "May the Earth God be with me!"
He didn't back down and stabbed the dagger into the insectoid's body.
Feeling the pain, the insectoid desperately stabbed the young man.
The young man seemed to have gone mad, madly stabbing the insectoid with the knife while muttering: "You've eaten too many people, our class … has too many!"
His tears mixed with blood flowed down his face.
The fruit knife was only a normal weapon.
The young man was also a normal young man.
The knife quickly twisted and fell to the ground.
The young man was also exhausted.
Using the last of his strength, he roared and punched the insectoid's head with all his might.
His punches weren't very powerful, but the insectoid's four limbs suddenly fell off.
— — -the insectoid's body was collapsing!
Seeing that, the young man used the last of his strength to continue punching the insectoid with all his might.
One time.
Two times.
Three times.
The insectoid opened its mouth to bite him, but its head fell to the ground.
The headless insectoid's body tilted and fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
The young man clutched his body that was pierced by the insectoid and sat down on the ground, sobbing:
"Earth God, am I … going to die?"
As if he had sensed something, he suddenly looked down.
Wounds …
— — where are they?
