Gu Qing Shan then explained everything that happened earlier to her.
「 Who would've thought, so there really was a lone insect here 」 the dragon doll commented.
"This insect … seems to be hiding some sort of secret" the Ritual Dancer pondered.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He recalled the owner of the [Miracle] deck.
A terrifying entity who could control all the Void Lords and had miraculous powers, he could be considered the strongest existence in the entire void.
Wouldn't there be a reason why such a person wanted to kill the Eternal Thought Stealer so badly?
The more that's the case, the more I need to protect this insect.
At some point, the insect might be able to play a crucial role.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan looked towards the Phase World.
The entire Phase World slowly shrunk and turned into a streak of light that entered Gu Qing Shan's hand.
"Alright, it will follow you so that you can check on the progress of the trial" the Ritual Dancer told him.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to check the streak of light.
He saw that Crow was drinking with a few beautiful insectoid women, clearly enjoying themselves.
Crow was already holding one of the women's hands.
Tch.
Sure enough, it's the Avian race's turn to do this.
Gu Qing Shan calmed down and put the streak of light away.
The dragon doll took out a box from behind his back and gave it to him.
"Senior, this is?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 This is a parallel world technique that I just completed after spending a lot of effort 」 the dragon doll replied.
Gu Qing Shan was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, senior"
He received the box, only to see a line of text written neatly in dragon language:
[One-time use parallel world technique, price: 80 dragon coins]
He couldn't help but ask: "There's a fee to use this technique?"
The dragon doll patted his shoulder: "According to our agreement, I've already paid for you to use the parallel world technique this time"
"In other words, I have to spend money to use this technique?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The dragon doll replied: 「 Just like how the insectoids value reproduction, the ultimate path that we dragons manifest naturally has to be unique to the dragon race, you understand 」
Gu Qing Shan felt uneasy when she saw the words "eighty Dragon Coins". She couldn't help but ask,
"When I open the box, countless parallel worlds will appear?"
The dragon-shaped doll replied: 「 No, only 1500 Asura worlds will be created 」
Gu Qing Shan looked at it.
The dragon-shaped doll shrugged: 「 I'm still heavily wounded, it's already good enough that I managed to do this much — — not to mention, 1500 Asura worlds are more than enough to make those two Arcane Arts retreat 」
Gu Qing Shan thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.
In the previous battle, although one person's [Ten Thousand Life Technique] and [Ten Thousand Spirit Obscurity Technique] had the upper hand, it would still take a lot of effort to truly conquer the Asura world.
One thousand five hundred Asura worlds …
They would die of exhaustion.
"As expected of the strongest defensive technique" Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.
"The strongest defense?" The dragon-shaped doll sneered.
"Am I wrong?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course not, this is our dragon race's Path, how could it be as simple as just defense? Don't you want to see your other fates? "the dragon-shaped doll flashed an inscrutable smile.
Gu Qing Shan recalled something.
Back in the great tomb, to prevent the Apocalypses from collapsing, I used the twin swords Heaven and Earth to open a path to many parallel worlds, summoned many of my selves, and survived that crisis.
"Gu Qing Shan, remember this well, there is no end to the Path, how far one can reach depends on one's own ability" the Ritual Dancer told her.
"Madam … is the Living Being Sacrificial Dance also a Path?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"It is, but it's a bit unique, it doesn't originate from a specific race, but from all Sacrificial Beings" the Ritual Dancer answered.
The dragon-shaped doll was annoyed: 「 Alright, if we were to talk about the Path here, we wouldn't be able to finish even if we talked for a day and a night, it might even take 10 days — — take this box with you, I'm going on vacation to heal my wounds, bye bye 」
As soon as it said so, the dragon-shaped doll flew up and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan carefully put the box away.
All of a sudden, lines of blood-red text appeared in front of him:
[Attention!]
[Your True Luck has been used for 2 hours]
[Remaining time: 10 hours]
[This is the power of True Luck multiplied, please use it wisely]
Gu Qing Shan felt tense.
That's right.
I'm currently in a state of extreme Luck, so if there's anything I need to do, I need to do it quickly.
— — -is there anything I need to do right now?
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned, then abruptly looked up: "Madam, I need to go, please bring Ning Yuechan here"
"So soon?" the Ritual Dancer asked.
"Yes, since I've obtained the parallel world technique, I need to quickly return to the Asura world to deal with the matter" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Ritual Dancer pondered for a bit, then said: "That's right, even if you can travel through time, there are still some things that cannot be delayed — — because neither you nor I know who else is currently traveling through time"
Gu Qing Shan's body trembled as he suddenly had a vague idea in his mind, but it was as hard to grasp as the fog.
He looked up at the Ritual Dancer, only to see that she was also a bit hesitant.
The Ritual Dancer pondered for a while, then abruptly said: "I just went to see Ning Yuechan, she's currently at a crucial point in her advancement, so I can't disturb her"
"Then forget it, her safety — –"
"Don't worry, I've concealed her identity, everything about her is under my protection, there's no need for you to worry"
Saying so, the Ritual Dancer reached her hand out and lightly tapped between Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows.
Countless sounds of music resounded in Gu Qing Shan's ears, then slowly faded away.
"I've placed the Sacred Wish Sacrifice seed in your Thought Sea, you can practice it whenever you want" the Ritual Dancer told him.
As she lightly stepped forward, an illusory figure separated from her body.
The figure seemed to be a woman wearing a long dress, but her face couldn't be seen.
"This is the figure of my main body, equivalent to myself, it also has 10% of my full strength. It will follow you, act as your helper in battle, as well as answer any questions you don't understand during the Sacrificial Dance — — - even questions regarding your Path" the Ritual Dancer explained.
The woman whose face couldn't be seen walked up and stood behind Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: "Thank you, I'll be leaving now"
"Hm, hurry" the Ritual Dancer said.
Gu Qing Shan took out the Key of Wind, lightly stabbed it into the void of space, then turned it — — -
A gate of light opened, on the other side was an endless void of darkness, below which a glowing River of Space-Time slowly flowed.
As Gu Qing Shan entered, the Ritual Dancer's figure closely followed him.
The two of them stood in the void of darkness, guided by the power of the Key of Wind towards a certain direction.
For some reason, Gu Qing Shan's sense of unease grew stronger and stronger.
He couldn't help but look back.
And then, he saw a shocking scene — — -
From the River of Space-Time, terrifying gigantic figures abruptly appeared, roaring angrily towards the direction he came from.
Following that, countless members of the Epoch clan appeared.
They gathered the indescribably terrifying giant monsters and charged in that direction with all their might.
— — -what happened?
I've traveled through the River of Space-Time several times, but this is the first time I've seen something like this.
"Our connection with the past has been severed, and I can no longer sense my own will" the Ritual Dancer's figure suddenly said.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything.
A series of crimson notifications appeared in front of his eyes:
[Attention!]
[Your past has been solidified by Primal Chaos, that's why you're safe]
[The era of the past has been completely distorted by some sort of power, you will no longer be able to return to that era!]
[Your connection with the Dusty World has been severed]
[The Dusty World's coordinates have disappeared from the River of Space-Time]
Gu Qing Shan's mind quickly turned and immediately asked: "Can the Key of Wind find the Dusty World?"
"It can, but the Epoch clan is also searching for the Dusty World's location. If you insist on using the Key of Wind in the River of Space-Time, you will definitely draw the attention of the Epoch clan, they might use all of their power to kill you" the highest-ranking Beyonder replied.
"— — Let me add, they have already been angered, so they will most likely make things difficult for you right now"
All of a sudden, a suffocating shadow appeared in Gu Qing Shan's spirit sense.
He looked up at the river, only to see the Epoch clan following his flight path, aggressively approaching.
"How strange, what exactly happened? Why would the Epoch clan be angered "the Ritual Dancer's figure said.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the Epoch clan and immediately made up his mind.
No!
How can I let myself fall into their hands?
Even if they find out that there's nothing wrong with me in the end, it would take too much time.
Just as the Ritual Dancer said — —
No one knows who else is traveling through time.
Without any hesitation, Gu Qing Shan stabbed the Key of Wind into the void of space.
"This is the moment, take us to the Earth World!"
He shouted in a low voice.
A gate of light opened. His and the Ritual Dancer's figures disappeared into the gate.
