He left the bar.
Gu Qing Shan stood on the street, observing his surroundings.
The sky was black.
The area outside the town was also completely dark, as if nothing existed at all.
— — -the entire world was a Card called [Moonless Town].
This Card was a secret Card, anyone who knew about it couldn't reveal any information about it to anyone else.
Violating this rule would immediately be discovered by the Watchers, which would be considered a betrayal to the organization.
The result would be death.
Gu Qing Shan continued walking along the cold, slippery stone road.
As the Sovereign of Pain, he had been stationed in the void for too long.
The consequence of leaving the organization's central authority for too long was — — -
The Sovereign of Pain didn't know what the organization was planning.
Right now.
Gu Qing Shan was completely clueless.
He could only guess that the 'large-scale battle' would take place in the Asura world.
The Asura world wanted so many Void Lords to participate, and even now, the battle still showed no signs of ending.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan wanted nothing more than to find out what was going on.
But the Sovereign of Pain had just finished a mission, so he was still resting, so no one would assign him a mission.
— — -do I have to volunteer to fight?
The organization's way of doing things was to make every Void Lord act like a precise clock in every mission. They had to constantly work towards completing a certain task.
If I suddenly volunteer to fight, I'll be seen as a lunatic.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
Then — — -
What else can I do to participate in the current large-scale battle?
While these thoughts were flashing through his mind, he suddenly recalled what the organization's leader said in the secret room:
[The situation is becoming more and more tense, you must immediately recover your strength]
— — -perhaps it won't be long before I'll be sent to the battlefield?
All of a sudden.
A line of crimson text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[Attention]
[The miraculous power of the Card: Sovereign of Pain has been unleashed]
[You carry the power of miracles, what will you achieve in the future]
[Of course, what you achieve in the end will depend on your performance]
[This is what the mastermind wants from you — — -]
[After you killed Gu Qing Shan, he wants to see if you can turn into a more powerful Card for him to use]
Gu Qing Shan's eyes twitched.
Was he using the power of miracles to make himself stronger?
In the past, when he encountered miraculous powers, they were all enemies. He had no choice but to rack his brains to find a way out.
Now, the situation had changed.
How would the power of miracles help him?
Gu Qing Shan was so curious that she slowed down her pace.
A voice came from afar.
"You really are here."
Gu Qing Shan narrowed her eyes and looked over.
At the end of the street, a child and a woman stood side by side, seemingly waiting for him.
Master of the Void, Weapon Forger of the Law of Causality, Soldier Boy.
The other woman was wearing a plain robe, and she looked like an ordinary human beauty.
She had appeared with the soldier boy in the secret chamber before.
— — she was one of the strongest people in the organization.
Everyone called her the Moon Goddess.
"Moonless Town" was her card.
These two people …
Could this be the catalyst for him to create a miracle?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit expectant, but her expression was cold: "I just find it boring"
"Seems like a life without blood and slaughter doesn't suit you" the soldier boy said.
"Does it suit you?" Gu Qing Shan asked him in return.
The soldier boy smiled: "A normal life is the same as the void, a waste of our lives, I agree with you on this point"
"Speak, what do you want from me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Moon Goddess cut in: "I've calculated your bill, my [Moon Offering] technique cost a lot of materials, as well as a few powerful evil creatures — — - you have to pay"
The soldier boy replied: "According to the old man's orders, you only paid half the price for the weapon, the organization will pay for the other half, so I'm also here to collect my bill"
Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised.
Normally, such a small matter only required a random servant card to be sent over.
Both the Moon Goddess and the soldier boy were part of the organization's 1st platoon, so they didn't need to show up just to collect a bill.
"— – tell me the bill" Gu Qing Shan said.
He took out the Sovereign King of Pain's card and was about to pay.
According to his memories, both the [Moon Offering] technique and weapon crafting were huge expenses.
He was already prepared to bleed a lot.
"Don't be in such a hurry, there's actually a way that you won't have to pay anything and can still earn a lot" the soldier boy said.
Gu Qing Shan showed an 'as expected' expression and didn't say anything, simply watching the two of them.
The Moon Goddess explained: "The old man gave me and the soldier boy a mission, originally telling us to form a team and complete this mission together"
The soldier boy replied: "But the war is in a critical situation, all frontline troops have been sent out, even the Divine Eater Demon was sent out just now, we're missing a powerful melee combatant"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two of them.
The soldier boy and the Moon Goddess's abilities appeared in his memories.
— — -although they were both powerful, they weren't suited to stand at the front and attract firepower.
"I just happen to be free" Gu Qing Shan said.
The Moon Goddess drew a grey scroll from her back and said: "I'll say this first, you might die, but even if you die, you cannot escape, otherwise our mission will be considered a failure"
"You're looking down on me that much?" Gu Qing Shan scoffed.
The soldier boy replied: "It's not that I'm looking down on you, but it's truly dangerous, you need to prepare yourself"
"Come" Gu Qing Shan said.
The Moon Goddess and the soldier boy exchanged glances, then gave the scroll to Gu Qing Shan.
"With your blood" the Moon Goddess said.
Gu Qing Shan opened the scroll and muttered: "Conclude this covenant"
He made a cut on his finger and let his blood drip onto the scroll.
Poof!
A mist of blood rose from the scroll.
The entire scroll became visible.
Lines of text quickly appeared to display the details of the mission:
[Time: As soon as the team is formed, immediately act]
[Location: The Asura's Eternal Era War realm]
[Quest objective: Establish a small defensive camp in the Eternal Era of Chaos]
[Quest rank: Highest]
[Participants: Moon Goddess, soldier boy, Sovereign King of Pain]
Layers of light began to radiate from the scroll, slowly enveloping the three of them.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan saw the word 'Asura', he felt assured.
All of a sudden.
The entire world disappeared.
The dark void around them quickly faded away.
"So we're heading to the Asura realm — — but what is the Eternal Era of Chaos?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
While they were still teleporting, the soldier boy explained:
"— — -that place is a Phase World that the Asura released, and even among all the other Phase Worlds, it's ranked highly"
"It is said that the origin of the Samsara is hidden there, to become the Asura King, one must reach the deepest part of the Eternal Era of Chaos and find the true secret of the Samsara" the Moon Goddess explained.
"Is it very dangerous?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Moon Goddess didn't answer.
The soldier boy continued: "If you can help us complete this Quest, both the Moon Goddess and I will recommend you to join the 1st Regiment — — - isn't that what you've been longing for for so many years?"
Lines of crimson text appeared from the void of space:
[Attention]
[You will enter the Eternal Era of Chaos in 30 seconds]
[This place is filled with countless monsters, you must be fully prepared]
Gu Qing Shan immediately understood.
The Moon Goddess and the soldier boy didn't say anything at first, wanting to gauge their strength.
If they were strong enough, they would survive and become their comrade.
If they weren't strong enough, they would die there — — -
And die.
The two Void Lords wouldn't care about him, they would simply return to Moonless Town and blame the failure of the Quest on the Sovereign King of Pain.
This was how the Void Lords interacted with each other.
Last time, the Sovereign King of Pain was able to receive treatment after returning, firstly because he completed the Quest, and secondly because he was attacked by the Sacred Realm, which was understandable.
Gu Qing Shan squinted her eyes and silently prepared herself.
"5 seconds left until destination"
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1!"
The darkness dissipated.
Gu Qing Shan found herself standing in a completely new world.
The ground was boundless, as far as the eye could see.
The sky was yellow.
The wilderness was densely packed with monsters.
— — -all of them were monsters that he had never seen before!
And in terms of presence alone, none of them were weaker than the Eternal Thought Stealer.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes narrowed.
I didn't think it would be a battle of this magnitude.
Although he had already become the Sovereign King of Pain, this was the first time he had to face a battle of this scale.
As soon as the three of them appeared, they drew the attention of all the monsters.
The Moon Goddess calmly spoke: "I'll be in charge now — — -"
"The soldier boy will be responsible for building the camp, I'll prepare the large-scale [Extinction] technique, the Sovereign King of Pain will hold off all attacks, begin!"
Before she even finished, a series of light beams shot towards the three of them.
Gu Qing Shan took two steps forward — — -
Boom boom boom boom!
The light beams struck his body, causing his armor to crack a bit.
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
The Moon Goddess and the soldier boy both looked at him.
With the insect armor covering his body, Gu Qing Shan was naturally unharmed.
He didn't even turn around and casually spoke: "Only if they can pierce through my armor will they be qualified for me to use my full strength"
Although he said that, Gu Qing Shan was still a bit soft-hearted, afraid that the insects would die without a sound.
He took out the [Seven Weapons] card and placed the shield in front of his chest.
"Come! Trash! "
The Sovereign King of Pain's roar echoed across the wilderness.
The soldier boy and the Moon Goddess exchanged glances and nodded.
The Moon Goddess began to chant a long incantation.
"Very well, Sovereign"
The soldier boy grinned and threw a Card out, then began to build the camp.
