Standing still, Gu Qing Shan carefully sensed the surroundings of these believers, the happenings around them, as well as the changes in the world as a whole.
"How strange …" he muttered.
"What is it?" the Book of the Seabed asked.
"I don't see the Eternal Thought Stealer — — I've followed it to this world for a long time, but it hasn't come to see me, I don't know what it's busy with …" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"You miss it?" the Book of the Seabed asked.
"I want to kill it right here, after all, my attacks can be fully unleashed through the power of the Earth God" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He closed his eyes and began to observe the world through the eyes of his followers.
— — -the world had finally fallen into chaos.
Unfortunately, no Deity of Chaos answered their call.
This led to a certain result.
The faith of the Earth God was rapidly expanding.
Through the eyes of his followers, Gu Qing Shan was able to see more and more places.
"The Eternal Thought Stealer … where exactly is it?"
Gu Qing Shan carefully searched and quickly found a few clues.
Something strange seemed to be happening in the outskirts of a city.
The city wasn't too far away, only about 400 kilometers away.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then decided to take a step forward.
At the very next moment.
He appeared at the edge of the city.
From afar, a farmer was running towards his direction in a panic.
"What happened?" Gu Qing Shan loudly asked.
The farmer was startled and finally noticed him.
"May the Earth God protect us — — run, run, run!"
The farmer desperately shouted.
He ran past Gu Qing Shan, ran towards the direction of the city, and quickly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan's expression slowly turned from relaxed to serious.
He looked forward.
It was complete darkness.
It was an overwhelming darkness.
— — -filled with insects.
The entire outskirts of the city, as well as countless villages, had turned into a sea of insects.
Gu Qing Shan felt a surge of anger in his heart.
This emotion was so intense that he shouted:
"Thought Stealer!"
"Show yourself!"
His voice resounded far away, echoing through the night sky.
The sea of insects that filled the sky and land instantly became motionless.
A single person slowly walked out from the sea of insects.
The Eternal Thought Stealer.
「 Huang Quan Devil King, it's been a while since we last met 」 it slowly spoke.
"You destroyed those living beings, no wonder this world underwent such a drastic change …" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 You mean — — eating a civilization and replacing it? This is our insectoid race's specialty, so you'll be able to take its place 」 the Eternal Thought Stealer replied.
Gu Qing Shan stared at it and said nothing.
From the void behind him, a longsword that seemed to be made of gold and jade flew out.
The sword split into two, two into three, and three into millions.
The thousands of swords hovered in the air.
The Eternal Thought Snatcher looked up at the swarm of flying swords in the sky and murmured, "Unfortunately … You don't know that every worm will provide me with enough faith, so in this place, the only outcome for you is death."
"You've been avoiding me" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 That's because the best fruits are left to be eaten last, I originally wanted to explore this world's secrets first — — - fine, since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep — — - then die! 」
The Eternal Thought Stealer took a few steps back and disappeared into the sea of insects.
Gu Qing Shan slowly raised her hand, wielding the Gold Jade sword in one hand while drawing the Chao Yin sword with the other.
He let out an earth-shattering roar.
「 Die! 」
Everything in the world turned into sword phantoms. Everything that existed was illuminated by the sword phantoms, turning into a vast expanse that lingered for a long time.
A colorful giant beetle flew out from the sea of insects, its body as large as a mountain range and blocked the endless sword phantoms, shouting: 「 Don't you dare touch my insects! 」
One breath.
Two breaths.
All the sword phantoms disappeared.
The giant beetle now had a few sword marks on its body, but the insects behind it were completely unharmed.
The beetle was filled with killing intent as it cried out: 「 I didn't think you'd also obtain so much faith, seems like we'll have to have a good fight today … 」
Gu Qing Shan looked at it, calmed down, and began to think of a way to kill it.
The Book of Seabed's voice suddenly resounded in her Thought Sea:
「 The two of you currently have about the same amount of faith and power, but the insect race has an incredible reproductive ability, the number of insects will increase exponentially, and the power of faith of the other party will soon surpass yours. At that time, you might not be able to fight back 」
Gu Qing Shan felt a chill in her heart and asked: "Thought Stealer, are you very concerned about those beetles?"
The Eternal Thought Stealer suddenly chuckled and softly replied: 「 Why don't you dare to call me by my true name? Are you afraid that living beings of this world will hear you and I'll use my psychic powers to steal your life and soul if you do? Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're about to die, yet you're still thinking about others. I must say, this is the disadvantage of humanity in surviving in the void 」
"That's why our human race survives" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 No, no, no, you humans will never be able to adapt to the dangers of the void, you will soon join the other races that have long since disappeared, turning into eternal nothingness 」 the Eternal Thought Stealer replied.
As Gu Qing Shan looked at the black sea of insects, her pupils suddenly turned into a pair of dark golden vertical pupils.
She then reached out with her sword and pointed — — -
An invisible ripple spread from the sword, connecting with the ripples from the ten thousand swords in the void, slowly filling the entire sea of insects.
— — the greatest weapon of humanity, the Dragon of Dreams, [Truth Control]!
「 You have the power to make all power, Laws, and Mysteries unable to reject your connection, known as: [Truth Control] 」
The sea of insects began to become restless.
Some of the insects leapt towards other insects and began to attack in a frenzy.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of the insects were killed.
The Eternal Thought Stealer angrily exclaimed: 「 What exactly did you do? 」
「 You're merely looking down on the human race's inheritance — — I know you're stalling for time, but that doesn't matter, let's fight to the death! 」
Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
His body slowly transformed into a giant dragon that exuded an eerie aura of darkness.
The Eternal Thought Stealer then turned back into a man.
He wagged his finger: 「 Fight to the death? No, the secret of this world might very well be my life's goal, yet you want me to fight to the death with you at such a crucial moment? 」
He clasped his hands together and swiftly formed a hand seal, shouting: 「 Stop the sacrificial ritual! 」
In an instant, everything disappeared.
The entire world turned blank.
The Eternal Thought Stealer stood in that blank space, while the giant dragon named Jue stood outside of it.
「 Devil King, I'll leave you with a word of advice 」
"Never underestimate the great existences that have lived for countless years. They must have gone through countless trials before they became invincible with their own strength."
As the Eternal Thought Stealer spoke, he took out a piece of white bone that exuded a boundless aura of desolation.
「 With this as an offering, the Sacrificial Dance shall temporarily stop! 」
The Eternal Thought Stealer chanted as he crushed the white bone.
Dong dong dong dong dong!
The solemn beating of the drums resounded. Countless voices resounded from the void, shouting in unison: 「 Stop! 」
A line of crimson text suddenly appeared in front of the giant dragon's eyes:
[Attention, your opponent has also grasped the Mystery of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance, his sacrificial ritual is on the same level as yours]
[He has offered up an offering, temporarily stopping the Sacrificial Dance]
[Attention! The Death Battle Dance shall temporarily stop!]
The giant dragon turned back into Gu Qing Shan and looked at the Eternal Thought Stealer with a complicated expression.
"I remember that you pointed out the flaws of the Death Battle Dance at the beginning of the Death Battle" Gu Qing Shan said.
The Eternal Thought Stealer seemed to recall something and appeared to be reminiscing.
"No wonder you know so much about the Ultimate Sacrifice, so you've learned it before" Gu Qing Shan commented.
The Eternal Thought Stealer finally spoke: 「 Yes, technically speaking, we're from the same sect. Unfortunately, the Death Battle Dance was too difficult to advance — — in the end, I finally understood that if I wanted to find that secret, I had to think of another way 」
"What were you looking for?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 The true secret of the void, as well as the four legendary Overseers 」 the Eternal Thought Stealer replied.
"What's that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Eternal Thought Stealer walked into the distance and answered without turning back:
「 Pitiful ant, this isn't something you should know 」
「 The reason I fell for your tricks the entire time and played this boring Death Battle with you is because you have something that I've never seen before, something that's very rare in the void — — 」
「 Sure enough, we've arrived at a valuable world 」
「 Even with my strength, I've been suppressed by the Death Battle Dance, unable to fully explore the secrets of this world — — this is indeed a commendable aspect of the Death Battle Dance, but that's all there is to it 」
「 I've already sent the Death Battle Dance away, it will soon regain its full strength …
「 Devil King, seize the moment and enjoy your final moments 」
「 I'll soon take your life, as well as your secrets 」
As soon as it finished speaking, a white cocoon appeared on the Eternal Thought Stealer's body.
It stopped moving.
Along with the countless insects, it disappeared along with the entire empty world.
— — it could no longer be traced.
Everything returned to normal.
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, the Book of the Seabed jumped out from his chest.
「 Hurry! The Eternal Thought Stealer has broken free! It has broken free from the Death Battle Dance! 」 the Book of the Seabed shouted.
Gu Qing Shan slowly spoke: "Calm down, when its strength wasn't sealed, I still managed to trick it"
The Book of the Seabed quickly replied: 「 No, it was only careless that time — — the situation has become a bit urgent, Gu Qing Shan! 」
It continued: 「 I advise you to find the World Ruler first, find him! This is your final chance! 」
"Where would I find the World Ruler?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 The Apotheosis Altar was created by the pixies, perhaps they know something 」 the Book of the Seabed replied.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then replied: "I've always had a good relationship with the pixies, there's no harm in making a trip"
"Hurry, hurry!"
White fog rose up, enveloped him, and disappeared.
A primordial forest.
Gu Qing Shan reappeared, walking alone in the forest.
In just a short while, the number of worshippers in this world had doubled!
The power of the earth was increasing bit by bit.
Seems like I really need to find the pixies as soon as possible.
"Come out, Xie Fei, or you'll get beaten up!"
Gu Qing Shan casually called out.
Silence all around.
All of a sudden, a wronged female voice resounded:
"Why did you beat him up?"
Gu Qing Shan looked down, only to see a little pixie wearing a pink skirt standing at his feet, looking at him with a pitiful expression.
"Dian Dian? You really are a compassionate girl, I was only joking just now "Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
"Ah? Is that so? Right, where's Lola? "Dian Dian asked.
"She had something to do, so she couldn't come — — - let me ask you, do you have a way to send me to meet the creator of this world?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The creator? That entity has been gone for too long, we don't have any information about him "Dian Dian replied.
"Who is currently in charge of this world? I want to meet him "Gu Qing Shan replied.
Dian Dian appeared to be observing her, then said: "Then, you must go to the Divine Mountain to find out who exactly is in charge of this world"
"The Divine Mountain?"
"Hm, go, you must go to the Divine Mountain"
"But where is the Divine Mountain?"
"Since you're Lola's friend, I'll help you"
Saying so, Dian Dian drew a short stick.
