"Blah, blah, blah!"
Dian Dian swung her staff.
The ground split open to reveal what was buried underneath.
It was a rectangular brick.
Gu Qing Shan observed the brick and asked: "How do I use it?"
The pixie replied: "Using it to hit your own head — — is useless; using it to hit someone else's head is also useless"
"… I understand, then what's the correct way to use it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Blah!"
The pixie swung her staff again.
Another brick appeared on the ground not too far away from them.
"These are the Brick of the Left Leg and the Brick of the Right Leg," the fairy introduced solemnly.
"How do I use them?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Do you know how to make teppanyaki?" the pixie asked.
"I do"
"Remember, you can't use them to make teppanyaki"
Gu Qing Shan was speechless and seriously asked: "What do I have to do to use them to reach the Divine Mountain?"
The pixie paused and begrudgingly replied: "You're such a boring person, you don't even know how to talk properly"
"— — you need to take it to the ocean, to the east of the forest. You'll understand once you take the brick and dive into the water"
After saying so, the pixie turned around and disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
— — I also want to talk nonsense with you, but there's an insect that wants to kill me, what can I do?
He could only speak to the air: "Thank you for your help, I'll be leaving first"
— — then picked up the brick.
A second later, lines of crimson text appeared in the void of space:
[Item: Quiptic stairs]
[Description: These are two bricks from the Saint Pillar's Sanctuary]
[In the past, the four Pillar Gods and the pixies had an agreement that the pixies could use these bricks to enter the Divine Mountain]
— — seems like that's the deal.
Gu Qing Shan's figure leapt up and flew towards the ocean.
Not too long after, he saw the boundless deep blue ocean.
I'll know after diving into the water?
What will I know?
Gu Qing Shan muttered in his mind and dived into the water with the brick in hand.
The water gave off a strong buoyancy.
However, the brick helped him dive all the way to the bottom of the sea.
Gu Qing Shan flew forward as if she was on land.
The sea was getting deeper and deeper.
Finally.
Gu Qing Shan stood in front of a cliff and looked down.
The ocean abyss below was a sea of deep blue and darkness. It was impossible to see the bottom.
The two bricks in his hands suddenly flew out.
They landed at Gu Qing Shan's feet, one high and one low, floating motionlessly.
Gu Qing Shan could tell that something was up.
He lifted his foot and stepped on a brick. The brick did not budge.
Gu Qing Shan took another step forward and stepped on another brick that was even lower.
When he retracted his leg, the brick immediately flew to a lower place for him to land on again.
Gu Qing Shan walked all the way down.
The two bricks alternately faced down and rotated, allowing him to step on them steadily as he walked towards the unknown sea.
They walked silently for about a quarter of an hour.
A line of crimson text appeared:
[You've passed through the Myriad Deity Annihilation Formation and reached the safe zone]
[Attention, a Phase World is about to appear]
At the very next moment, the world faded away.
A completely new world suddenly appeared and enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
…
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing next to a stream.
Across the stream was a towering mountain that pierced through the clouds.
Someone was already waiting at the other end of the stream.
A young man wearing a black hoodie with a cigarette in his mouth.
The God of Smelting and Metal — — Yan.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
He was the Deity who stayed behind on the highway to stop Death God Deep Snow's trouble.
Deep Snow said that he wouldn't be able to escape.
In other words, he was dead.
But now Yan was standing in front of me, completely unharmed.
They exchanged glances.
"Hello, I've been ordered to receive a guest — — how should I address you?" Yan asked.
From the looks of it, he didn't recognize Gu Qing Shan at all.
But Gu Qing Shan still remembered how he looked at her with disdain because she was a new Deity.
How could a Deity lose their memories?
"I'm Gu Qing Shan" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Gu Qing Shan, you need to show me your token in order to pass through" Yan said.
Gu Qing Shan raised the two bricks.
"Hm, this is one of them. With it, you can enter the Divine Mountain, but if you want to enter the Hall of the Saint Pillar, you'll need another, more important token" Yan said.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then took out the Chao Yin sword and held it in her hand.
Yan glanced at it, then bowed: "The one whose soul has been released, the owner of the Divine Armament, you are qualified to enter the top of the Divine Mountain and do what you need to do"
"What exactly is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Please follow me, I will lead you all the way to the top of the Divine Mountain, but only you are qualified to know about the Hall of the Saint Pillar" Yan smiled and said.
Gu Qing Shan crossed the stream.
Yan led him up the stone stairs.
"This is the residence of the Divinities, we are here to listen to the voice of the mortal world, enlighten all mortals and collect faith"
Yan introduced.
Gu Qing Shan looked around the path.
He saw quite a few Divinities.
All of them had their eyes closed, chanting an incantation as their bodies gave off a solemn and dignified light.
"What are the Divinities doing?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"They're contributing all of their power to the top of the Divine Mountain" Yan answered.
He explained: "After all, the mortal world has just suffered two heavy losses, so we need to dedicate all of our power to the Divine King and let him decide what to do"
"Who's the Divine King?"
"Your Holiness, the Saint Law Angel"
"An Angel … how could he be the Divine King?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
Yan smiled: "He's another person with a liberated soul, the same as you"
Gu Qing Shan sensed something and turned to look at the middle of the mountain.
He saw the Deity of Misfortune.
This Divinity was clearly dead, but he was perfectly unharmed as he stood in front of a palace on the middle of the mountain, silently chanting an incantation.
A streak of light came from the Deity of Misfortune's body, shooting straight to the top of the mountain.
The streaks of light shot to the sky and converged at the top of the mountain.
Gu Qing Shan silently watched, then suddenly asked: "The Saint Law Angel … is also the owner of the Divine Weapon?"
"Indeed" Yan replied.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything else.
These Divinities have all been revived, no longer descending into the mortal world, instead gathering their power at the top of the mountain.
Could it be that they want to revive the Saint Law Angel?
No.
The Saint Law Angel was killed by me, his soul had already decomposed and entered Primal Chaos.
Primal Chaos is eternal destruction.
— — -so the Saint Law Angel couldn't have revived, and definitely couldn't be at the top of the mountain.
While climbing, Gu Qing Shan asked: "Why don't I see the Death God?"
"Strange … she should be at the top of the mountain as well" Yan scowled.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him.
This God of Smelting and Metal had an expression of incomprehensible confusion on his face.
Gu Qing Shan didn't ask any further to avoid affecting Deep Snow's side.
— — – at this time, Deep Snow was together with me and Lola in the desert.
The two of them continued to climb the Divine Mountain.
Finally.
Gu Qing Shan stood outside the divine palace.
— — -the so-called divine palace was nothing more than a few dozen stone pillars.
Each pillar seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships, broken and ancient.
"Please enter — — only you are allowed to enter this place, I'll be taking my leave" the God of Smelting and Metal said.
"Very well"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan walked towards the stone pillars.
Following her steps, the stone pillars slowly glowed.
— — the light manifested into a grand and solemn divine palace.
Gu Qing Shan entered and walked step by step towards the center of the divine palace.
Finally.
She saw a tall platform.
On top of the platform, there was a pile of ash, as well as a broken sword.
Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows twitched.
Why does that sword feel so familiar …
The Chao Yin sword quickly flew up to the platform and stopped in front of the broken sword.
The two swords were exactly the same!
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Chao Yin, what exactly is it — –"
The Chao Yin sword circled around the broken sword, letting out a sorrowful 'wu wu'.
Another voice resounded:
[That is its own kind, so it is a bit sorrowful]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the void of space.
A book silently manifested.
— — -it was the [World Administrator] that the Saint Law Angel once wielded.
"Can that sword still be saved?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[It is already completely dead — — - each sword forged by the four Pillar Gods can only have a single true master, when the master falls into a state of eternal destruction, the hope that the sword brought would also be destroyed, breaking the sword] the World Administrator replied.
"Is it the Saint Law Angel?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Indeed, the situation is urgent, let us get straight to the point] the World Administrator replied.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and simply appeared doubtful.
The World Administrator continued: [At this moment, you are not in a parallel world — — you have been transported to the real world — — which is the void of space where all four Saint Pillars are present. You will receive the authority to clean up the mess left behind by the Saint Law Angel]
"Why do I have to do that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Because your opponent is currently recovering his power, and I have the only way to help you survive] the World Administrator replied.
"What way? Could it be that you can help the Sacrificial Ritual of Death recover? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
[My apologies, perhaps I was able to fulfill your wish in the past, but I am no longer able to do such a thing]
The World Administrator descended and spread out in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"You …"
Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in shock.
The book had been severely damaged, the inside was completely empty, with only the last half of the page remaining.
[I am the weapon of Water God, during the battle where he fell, I only had the last half of the page left and managed to escape] the World Administrator replied.
"Who is the enemy?"
[I cannot tell you directly, but I am the final message left behind by the Water God of the Four Saint Pillars. That insect desires to obtain me, and I must ensure that I fall into the hands of someone recognized by God, otherwise, I will have no choice but to destroy this secret as well as myself] the World Administrator replied.
"What secret?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
[This secret cannot be told in a straightforward manner, otherwise, it would be sensed and you would be in danger — — - but first, you must support me] the World Administrator replied.
Gu Qing Shan held the book tightly.
The World Administrator then spoke with a relaxed tone: [As expected of the owner of the Earth Saint Pillar, the Liberator of Souls, the owner of the Living Weapon, and the guardian of the Book of Seabed — – if that's the case, I can rest assured]
At the same time, lines of crimson text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[You have been recognized by the World Administrator]
[The World Administrator is telling you a secret]
A voice suddenly appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
[Listen]
[This secret can only be told this way]
[Within the void, there is actually no entity that is a match for the Pillar Gods]
