Rain.
Within the rain, a gate of light opened.
Gu Qing Shan came out.
"Lady …"
He turned around, only to see the Sacrificial Dancer's shadow standing still, as if she was silently sensing something.
"This world doesn't seem to allow the use of any supernatural powers" the shadow said.
"That's right, this is the Earth World" Gu Qing Shan replied.
A rope of light descended from the sky.
Only to see a Time Fishman tied to the rope.
— — -a member of the Time clan.
He quickly descended along the rope of light and stopped in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Were you the one who destroyed Space-Time?"
The Time Fishman stared at him and asked.
"Of course it wasn't me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"The area of Space-Time you left was destroyed, affecting the stability of both time and history" the Time Fishman replied.
"I don't know what exactly happened" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"If you were the one who destroyed Space-Time, then you would be the nemesis of our clan" the Time Fishman replied.
"It wasn't me, and I have no intention of becoming enemies with you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"— — -regardless of whether you are a liar or the one who destroyed Space-Time, you will all be thrown into the Eternal Time Halt by us, enduring endless torture" the Time Fishman replied.
Sensing the killing intent from the other party, Gu Qing Shan knew that if the Earth World hadn't cut off all supernatural powers, the other party would have already acted.
He appeared sincere and spoke in a low voice: "I don't know what happened at all"
"But you were the only one who appeared on the River of Time at that moment" the Time Fishman replied.
The Sacrificial Dancer's shadow whispered: "The Time clan is a stubborn bunch, it's impossible to reason with them, only if you were on their side would they change their minds"
Gu Qing Shan paused, then immediately replied: "You haven't met me before, but some of you definitely know me — — - I once went to the Age of Immemorial and saved the entire River of Space-Time"
The Time Fishman was surprised, evaluated him again, and asked: "What's your name?"
"Gu Qing Shan"
"Gu Qing Shan? How strange, aren't you dead? "
"Who said I'm dead?"
"You're really dead. There's no mistaking that."
"I am the Earth God of the Void, and I am currently standing in the Earth World. I am the only one who can use extraordinary power in this world. Your Time Clan should already know this."
Gu Qing Shan said as she gestured with her hand.
Rumble —
In the distance, the earth gradually rose, forming a towering mountain range.
"It's really you … Looks like I have to report this immediately …"
The Time Fishman had a strange look on his face as he quickly climbed up the rope.
Gu Qing Shan and the shadow of the sacrificial dancer looked up at the same time, watching the time mermaid disappear into the depths of the sky.
"It said that I'm already dead" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 It seems someone had deceived the Time Clan — — - this is no small matter 」 the Sacrificial Dancer's shadow commented.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
After a while.
The Time Fishman descended again along the rope of light.
It bowed to Gu Qing Shan and said, "We made a mistake. We didn't expect you to still be alive."
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Not too long ago, the you of the countless parallel worlds in the Void all died, while there were no traces of you in this Reality Gate, so we assumed that you were dead 」 the Time Fishman replied with a serious expression.
"I have an enemy who has been following me, most likely because he couldn't find me, he vented his anger on other parallel worlds" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 That should be the case. It seems the enemy we were looking for isn't you, farewell 」 the Time Fishman bowed again, climbed up the rope of light, and quickly left the Earth World.
Sha — —
The rope disappeared in an instant.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Lady Fishman, did you feel that?"
「 You mean, the sense of danger has disappeared? 」 the shadow asked.
"Indeed, I didn't think the master of the Miracle deck … would be able to deceive the Time Clan and have them come to kill me" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
— — if I hadn't entered the Earth World in time, it would have been very hard to say.
The Sacrificial Dance Lady's shadow said: 「 The danger hasn't gone away. I can sense an even deeper and more despairing shadow gathering at that very moment just now. It is currently guarding the River of Time and Space, concealing your path back to the Asura world 」
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
— — there's still a backup plan?
「 I can sense that it is a power that you cannot resist 」 the shadow stared closely at him and muttered: 「 The Sacrificial Dance's sensing ability surpasses everything — — - it was fortunate that I was with you this time, otherwise, you would have been unable to survive merely by improvisation 」
Gu Qing Shan stood still for a while.
A backup plan that I can't sense, a power that I can't resist.
— — -the power of miracles?
The mastermind behind everything is clear.
However.
I must follow the River of Time through the Reality Gate and return to the Asura world …
I must return!
The decisive battle of the Samsara is unfolding there.
I don't know who else is currently traveling through time, or how the course of history will change.
Gu Qing Shan casually took out a black-covered book.
"Other than the path through the River of Time, are there any other paths that can avoid the ambush and reach the Asura world?" he asked.
The Book of Seabed replied: 「 Then we'll have to take a detour 」
"There's no need to worry about that, we have the Key of the Wind" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 That's true — — then let's take another path. Within this void of space, there are two gates, one at the bottom of the Abyss, and the other at the center of the Abyss 」 the Book of Seabed replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"You mean, we can leave through the gate at the center of the Abyss?" he asked.
「 That's right, after leaving, we'll take a detour to another world in the void 」 the Book of Seabed replied.
"Alright, then we'll take that path" Gu Qing Shan cheerfully said.
He turned around: "Lady Seabed, we might have a new companion"
"A companion?"
"That's right, I once promised someone that I would take her to the center of the Eternal Abyss and enter that gate"
Lin's appearance appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
Lin was still in slumber within the Echelon.
This time, I'll wake her up and fulfill my promise from before.
"What kind of person is she?" the Ritual Dancer asked.
"Ah … it's a long story. She and I used to be enemies, and I couldn't win against her at all. It was thanks to the Earth Creator secretly helping me that I barely managed to win" Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
A flash of light appeared in his mind.
— — what?
What was that just now?
Gu Qing Shan's expression slowly froze, desperately trying to recall that flash of light just now.
… I … noticed … what?
He stood still, a bit absent-minded.
The shadow stared closely at him, knowing that he was thinking about something, so it stood guard next to him without saying a word.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered a bit.
That's right …
I'm thinking about … the Earth Creator.
During the Age of Old, the last time I met it, what did it say?
"Aren't you going to return to the future, your excellency?" I asked at the time.
The Earth Creator replied: 「 Since I'm here, I want to seek out a certain secret before returning to the future 」
In the void of space, its voice became fainter and fainter, almost completely disappearing.
「 What exactly happened to the Abyssal Gate? I didn't manage to take a look back then, but now that it's about time, I might as well take a look 」
「 Hm … I'll have to be careful to avoid myself as well … 」
The Abyssal Gate was the Reality Gate in the middle of the Eternal Abyss.
The Earth Creator had gone there.
And then — —
It died.
A thought flashed through Gu Qing Shan's mind as he recalled another scene.
The voice from the stone sword:
「 Gu Qing Shan, you failed to accomplish your mission and even became a useless card in my hand 」
「 So you don't need to know who I am 」
「 Now that your destiny has reached its end, I've decided to make you disappear without a trace, similar to — — - 」
「 The previous Earth God 」
The scene flashed through his mind.
The scene from before replayed in his ears.
The merman said: 「 Gu Qing Shan? Strange, weren't you already dead? 」
"Who said I was dead?"
「 You really were dead, there's no doubt about that 」
The merman continued with certainty: 「 Not too long ago, the countless parallel worlds of you in the void all died, while there were no traces of you in this Reality Gate, so we thought you were dead 」
There was also the Lady Sacrificial Dancer.
She said — —
「 The danger hasn't gone away, I can sense a shadow of even greater despair … 」
Gu Qing Shan was shaken.
"So that's what it was" he muttered: "If all the parallel worlds of me are dead … it's the perfect time to activate the Fate Corrosion …"
「 Fate Corrosion? That's an extremely powerful Mystery technique 」 the Lady Sacrificial Dancer's shadow commented.
"Lady Sacrificial Dancer, that enemy of mine killed all the parallel worlds of me in order to activate the Fate Corrosion and make me die in the Reality Gate just like the previous Earth God" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He had regained his composure and looked down at the book in his hand.
The Book of Seabed only knows about secrets and knowledge, not the schemes of the human world, so this couldn't be blamed on it.
The enemy's plan was too ingenious.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze became sharp.
A pair of dream-like wings appeared behind his back.
The Dimensional Feather!
「 You have this power, making it so that the dimensions of space cannot stop you, and nothing can hinder your movements. Its name is: Dimensional Feather 」
Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice: "Lady Sacrificial Dancer, you mentioned just now that 'Fate Corrosion' is a powerful Mystery technique, is that correct?"
「 This lady is correct, Fate Corrosion can be considered a top-level Mystery technique 」 the Book of Seabed replied.
"Very well, let us go" Gu Qing Shan said.
"You aren't afraid of the Fate Corrosion?" the Lady Sacrificial Dancer's shadow asked.
"If I didn't know, I would naturally be killed by the enemy's calculations … but now that I know what he's capable of, victory or defeat is still uncertain"
Gu Qing Shan squinted her eyes and muttered.
