Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Something seemed to have happened just now.
The soldier boy died.
Cang Wu Mo investigated the soldier boy's death.
And then?
And then Cang Wu Mo declared that everything was fine.
But why do I feel like something isn't right?
Gu Qing Shan felt like his mind was a mess, unable to recall a few things.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the crimson text in the void of space:
[Attention: You have only just begun to comprehend the power of Water God, so you will need some time to familiarize yourself with it, as well as some time to dispel the various Mysteries within you]
[Attention: The Earth God body is only the most basic power of the Saint Pillar, so you will need some time to slowly dispel the Causality hidden within your body]
Gu Qing Shan sensed something.
He sensed something on his body.
— — like a leaf had fallen on his head, or more like a long venomous snake was coiling around his body.
Even though he couldn't see anything.
But he knew that something was affecting his body.
On the high platform. As soon as Cang Wu Mo finished speaking.
"Alright, everyone return to your duties and continue with your current missions"
"Dismissed!"
All the Void Lords scattered and flew up into the sky.
There were only a few people left on the square.
Cang Wu Mo jumped down from the high platform and went in front of Gu Qing Shan and Moon God.
"You've established a camp in that remote and desolate area, your mission was completed quite well" Cang Wu Mo said.
"What now? What are we going to do? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"You — — rest for a day, then we'll give you a new mission" Cang Wu Mo said.
"Have you given me my reward? I need it to forge a few things "Moon God said.
"We've earned it" Cang Wu Mo smiled.
Moon God quickly left.
Cang Wu Mo looked at Gu Qing Shan and said: "Sovereign King of Pain, your performance can be considered excellent — — I've seen your past missions, and you've completed them perfectly every single time"
Gu Qing Shan went silent, waiting for his next words.
Cang Wu Mo then said, "Congratulations, from today onwards, you will be promoted to a member of the First Regiment, taking up the position of Soldier Boy."
The members of the first column also had the most authority. They could be considered the leaders of the Miracle Deck. They knew the secrets and obtained the most resources.
Only then did Gu Qing Shan relax a little. She bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord."
"Yes, there are many missions that require a melee cold weapon expert like you. Seize the time and rest well."
"Yes."
…
The residence of the King of Pain.
Gu Qing Shan sat still with her eyes closed.
Wisps of light condensed into threads and flew out from his body. Tiny sparks appeared in the void and soon turned into ashes.
Buggy clicked his tongue and said, "What is this thing?"
"Do you remember what happened before?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Only … a Void Master died. Your Boss went to investigate, but he didn't find anything wrong," Buggy said.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
— — what terrifying power. Even after turning into armor, Buggy wasn't able to escape and was still hit.
"My memories were altered by someone, and you were probably the same" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What!?" Buggy was shocked.
"Don't argue, I'll tell you after I'm done with my business" Gu Qing Shan said.
He closed his eyes and began to use the power of [Trickling Beginning] to slowly alter the effects of the Mystery techniques on himself.
In a split second, a phenomenon manifested.
Countless strands of light appeared from Gu Qing Shan's body, wrapping around his entire body. His head, face, limbs, and body were all obscured by them.
However, a stream of water continuously dripped onto the threads of light, causing them to burn and turn into ashes.
Seeing this, Buggy was speechless.
Time slowly passed.
Half a day later.
The final strand of light that flew out from Gu Qing Shan's body was completely burnt to ashes.
At the same time, a dark golden glow appeared around his body.
Lines of crimson text quickly appeared:
[Your [Trickling Beginning] technique has thoroughly dispelled the effects of the Mystery techniques on you]
[Your [Earth Body] technique has cleansed all the Causality hidden within your body]
[You've further grasped [Trickling Beginning]]
[You're the Divine Lord of Earth and Water of the Four Saint Pillars]
The lines of text flashed by.
Gu Qing Shan slowly recalled what happened.
— — -what exactly was that giant hand surrounded by starlight?
I really want to kill it right now.
He sighed and looked at Buggy.
"How are your wounds?" he asked.
"A bit better, but it'll take a bit more time for me to fully recover" Buggy replied.
"Is there a way to evolve and become stronger?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Buggy answered in annoyance: "Evolving is nothing, but I don't want to blindly evolve"
"What do you mean?"
"Today I grow an arm, tomorrow I grow a head, and in the end, I still have to think of a way to cut off both the head and the arm — — - that's another heavy blow to my vitality"
"That's why you look like this by yourself?"
"That's right"
"… It wasn't easy at all"
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a bit sorry for Buggy.
A guy that doesn't even know how to look like, who could possibly help him?
But the owner of the [Miracle] deck wanted to kill him.
That means someone knows about his origins, perhaps even the direction of his evolution.
— — that's why he's so cautious.
"I have a lot of things to do right now, when I get the chance later, I'll think of a way to help you evolve a bit" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Alright, I'm going to evolve my brain a bit. If that's what you say, I'll wait a bit longer" Buggy replied.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to say something, his expression changed.
A Card appeared in front of him.
The Moon Goddess' voice came from the Card:
[Sovereign King, come to the Square — — we've received a new quest]
"I'll be right there" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Card disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan stood up and left.
Buggy hurriedly turned back into armor and attached himself to his body.
A few moments later.
He arrived at the town's Square.
Only to see the Moon Goddess waiting for him.
"What quest?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Moon Goddess took out a scroll and muttered: [With your blood]
Gu Qing Shan received the scroll and said: "Conclude this covenant"
He cut his finger and let his blood drip onto the scroll.
A mist of blood rose from the scroll.
The quest details became clear:
[Time: Immediately]
[Location: Wan Gu Chaotic Land, infiltration point number 1]
[Quest objective: Gather enough Proof fragments to form a complete Proof]
[Quest rank: A]
Gu Qing Shan skimmed through it and asked: "What about the camp we established before?"
The Moon Goddess replied: [The old man wants to use it for something else, so we don't need to worry about that camp]
"Alright, let's go"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the Moon Goddess.
This woman is a relatively powerful entity within the void of space.
Should I take her …
After a brief moment of thought, he smiled and handed the scroll over, asking: "Are there any new teammates? Bring me to meet them "
The Moon Goddess received the scroll and shook her head: "There's only you and me, so if there's any danger, you'll have to stand at the front"
"Don't worry"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan accidentally touched the Moon Goddess' finger.
A line of crimson text appeared:
[You've secretly activated the power of the Water God 'Trickle of Origin' and the power of the Earth God 'Body of Earth']
[Target: the Moon Goddess]
[— — even if you've comprehended the power of Earth and Water to a certain degree, it will still take a certain amount of time to deceive the other party and strip away their Mystery and Causality Laws]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess didn't mind.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Infiltration point number 1? I remember that place to be very safe — — - if it wasn't a dangerous quest, why did you call me? "
"You found the fragments as soon as you arrived, so I was going to borrow your luck" the Moon Goddess smiled.
While she was talking, she suddenly felt a bit dazed.
An unfamiliar scene appeared in front of her eyes.
It was an innumerable number of stars.
They were connecting to form a circle — — -
Wait a minute.
What is that?
「 What's wrong? Are you alright? 」 the Sovereign of Pain's voice resounded.
The scene abruptly disappeared.
"I'm fine" the Moon Goddess reluctantly replied.
She activated the teleportation technique on the scroll.
The two of them instantly disappeared and arrived at the Asura world.
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
This was a large, well-constructed military base.
All the necessary war facilities were here.
There were also other Void Lords coming and going inside the base. As the Moon Goddess was about to say something, a voice resounded in her ears.
"Moon Goddess, if anything happens to me, you will be the new leader of the organization" Cang Wu Mo said.
He gave himself a Card.
This was a secret Card of the void, only an extremely special person could hold it, and only those who had once held it would know of its existence.
— — -if Cang Wu Mo is fine, why didn't he ask for this Card back?
Did he forget?
While she was thinking, another scene appeared in front of the Moon Goddess's eyes.
Her expression changed and quickly said:
"Sovereign of Pain, take a stroll around and familiarize yourself with the base — — I'm going to take care of something first, I'll go look for the Proof Shard with you later"
After saying so, the Moon Goddess hurriedly left.
Leaving Gu Qing Shan standing still.
— — – the Moon Goddess was second only to Cang Wu Mo in the organization.
When Cang Wu Mo went to investigate the truth, he had already arranged for her to take over the leadership of the organization.
Cang Wu Mo even gave her a Card.
Then.
If the Moon Goddess recalls everything that happened before, what would she do?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit expectant.
But now …
Since the Moon Goddess has begun to recall the past, I have something to do as well.
He walked to the back of a secluded building as layers of white fog appeared around his body.
At the very next moment.
He disappeared from where he stood and reappeared in a faraway place.
It was an empty base.
As if a monster had just visited, the entire base had collapsed, no longer able to defend itself.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the ruins, looking around and couldn't help but shake her head.
This was the base that the soldier boy built before.
Unfortunately.
This secluded area was too close to the sea of weapons.
The base had been abandoned.
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed as he quickly flew across the wilderness, quickly arriving at an unassuming forest.
He found the markings from before and lightly pushed away the dirt with his hand.
Only to see eight rocks that exuded a faint mist in front of him.
— — -the Asura Proof Shard.
He only needed one shard to enter that world.
