Next to the stream.
This was how a conversation had unfolded:
"Why do you insist on obtaining the twin swords Heaven and Earth?"
"I want to … see what exactly is behind the Reality Gate"
"… The Reality Gate has been isolated by some sort of destructive power, even Abyssal monsters with eternal life would die when they approach the Reality Gate"
"There is a saying in the Abyss, that they were corrupted by another type of fate and died because of it"
"… Within the Abyss, there is only a single weapon that can resist against fate corruption, which is the sword that defies fate, the weapon of demon suppression at the bottom of the endless Abyss, the protector of extinction — — the twin swords Heaven and Earth"
…
Gu Qing Shan recalled the conversation she had with Lin and couldn't help but sigh.
It has been too long.
But the two swords that Shroud came up with had to go through the Soul Shrieker's theft, the Age of Old humanity's forging, as well as the final competition between the four factions to finally reach my hands.
These two swords have the power to resist fate corruption.
— — -but then, where did Shroud find out about the forging method for these two swords?
「 What do you plan to do? 」 the Sacrificial Dance Lady's shadow asked.
Gu Qing Shan's mind focused.
"Fate corruption is incredibly insidious, but compared to the power of [Miracle], it is much easier to deal with" he said.
The path to the Asura world was covered by the power of [Miracle].
While the other path — — -
The path to the other Reality Gate required a long detour to reach the Asura world, which was protected by the Fate corruption technique.
"Please come with me to the center of the Eternal Abyss, we need to see the situation of that Reality Gate" he sincerely said.
"Then let's go" the shadow replied.
Gu Qing Shan took out the Key of Wind, poked it into the void of space, and opened a gate of light.
The two of them entered.
Instantly.
They arrived at the dark space vortex.
This place was originally the Eternal Abyss, but now that the Frozen Corpse's eyeball and hair had left, this place was completely abandoned.
— — -the only thing that remained was a gigantic bronze gate that connected heaven and earth.
"We need to go through that Reality Gate and return through another path" Gu Qing Shan pointed at the gate and said.
As soon as she said so, something unexpected happened!
Within the darkness of nothingness, countless images appeared.
These lights and shadows changed at an unimaginable speed, instantly wrapping around Gu Qing Shan and the shadow.
In front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes, scenes of countless worlds appeared.
In those scenes, he saw each and every one of him falling into a situation of death.
Death.
Death.
Death.
Endless death.
There was no trace of the murderer, only a cold corpse.
Gu Qing Shan sensed something. She lowered her head and saw dust rising from her body.
Fine dust scattered from his body, as if he would disintegrate at any moment.
This was very similar to the moment when the Earth Creator died.
In a split second, a row of scarlet words appeared:
[Attention, you are currently enduring the Mystery of Fate: Fate Erosion]
"Your fate will be assimilated into death!"
In the blink of an eye …
Suddenly, two sharp sword sounds came from behind Gu Qing Shan.
The twin swords Heaven and Earth manifested at the same time, turning into two sword phantoms that circled around him.
An unusual fluctuation radiated from the twin swords.
Being enveloped by this fluctuation, Gu Qing Shan felt like he was being protected by a layer of protection that separated him from the endless scenes of death.
Notifications quickly popped up:
[You have received a unique protection, allowing you to no longer be harmed by Fate Erosion]
[The swords that betray fate, the demon-suppressing weapon at the bottom of the Endless Abyss, the protector of destruction — — the twin swords Heaven and Earth are protecting you]
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered, then reached his hand out and lightly touched the endless images.
"Connect!"
He uttered a low shout.
Illusory streaks of light appeared from his hand and entered the layers of images.
Using humanity's grasp of Truth, he was currently connecting himself to the Mystery of [Fate Erosion].
As the illusory streaks of light merged into the endless parallel worlds, Gu Qing Shan's gaze focused and reached his other hand out.
This hand carried a layer of watery glow that dripped down into the parallel worlds.
Water God of the Four Saint Pillars — — -
The Beginning of Trickle!
[You can see all Mysteries and techniques that don't belong to you, as well as alter their effects]
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and silently sensed the Mystery of [Fate Erosion].
"Alter it … I need to alter it a little bit …"
He muttered.
A few moments later.
The watery glow disappeared, as did the illusory streaks of light.
In front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes, the multiple parallel worlds didn't seem to have changed at all.
But a line of crimson text appeared in the void of space:
[Through 'grasp of Truth' and 'Beginning of Trickle', you've altered the Mystery: [Fate Erosion]]
[The altered Fate Erosion has the following characteristics:]
[You've let Gu Qing Shan go, and after he left the Reality Gate, you've displayed the characteristics of killing him]
At the same time.
The twin swords Heaven and Earth slowly stopped, returned to his back, and disappeared.
— — -there was no longer a need to protect him.
"Milady, although these overlapping parallel worlds aren't targeting you, please follow me, this way we'll be able to reach the Reality Gate a bit faster" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Very well"
The Sacrificial Dance Lady's shadow took his hand.
A pair of illusory wings abruptly spread behind Gu Qing Shan's back.
Dimensional Feather!
As the wings flapped, they gave off a faint illusory glow.
Gu Qing Shan flew forward with the shadow, passing through countless parallel worlds and instantly reached the large bronze gate.
He reached his hand into the void of space.
A slender slender beauty who was in slumber was released from the Sequence.
The woman landed on the ground and opened her eyes.
Lin.
As soon as she saw Gu Qing Shan, she quickly noticed the gigantic bronze gate.
"I remember that when I left the Wraith realm world, the Sequence had reminded me that an Apocalypse was about to occur, so I agreed to enter slumber — — how did I get here all of a sudden?" Lin asked.
Gu Qing Shan briefly explained, then said: "Back then, I promised you that I would use the twin swords Heaven and Earth to bring you to this Reality Gate — — I'm sorry, it took me so long to accomplish that"
Lin stared at him for a long time.
"… Indeed, you've kept your promise, Gu Qing Shan"
She took a few steps forward and lightly touched the gate with her hand.
Gu Qing Shan's voice came from behind:
"Beyond the gate lies the endless Apocalypse, I heard that all the Bygone Era humans who entered this gate were already dead, I assume that you've already found out about this after joining the Wraith realm"
Lin didn't say anything.
Gu Qing Shan's voice slowed down and continued: "Regardless of what happened in the past, they have already become the ashes of time, there's no need for you to think about them or do anything else"
"But how can I forget the past?" Lin lowered her head and spoke with a bitter voice: "I should have died together with my comrades in the Eternal Abyss — — the only reason I endured the endless years of loneliness and desperately searched for the twin swords Heaven and Earth was so that I could one day avenge them. After all, I've let everyone down"
Gu Qing Shan took two steps forward, lightly patted her shoulder, and continued: "I've fulfilled my promise, so you should return to the Sequence and continue your slumber. Not too long later, I will be able to give you a world so that you can also participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy"
"What meaning does the Samsara Clash for Supremacy have for me? My enemies are already dead, so I should follow my comrades into destruction, only then will I be able to feel at ease "
Gu Qing Shan gently said: "They won't blame you, unless …"
"Unless what?"
"Unless you don't live on properly"
Lin tried to push the bronze gate.
The gate didn't budge.
Lin turned to Gu Qing Shan and said: "Open the gate for me"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "I'm not opening it"
Lin shouted: "Open the gate!"
"I said I won't open it, so I won't open it" Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
Lin's presence surged as she clenched her fist and charged forward.
— — but the current Gu Qing Shan was no longer the same person from the past.
He grabbed Lin's hand and held her down.
Lin looked at him and didn't say anything.
The wings on Gu Qing Shan's back abruptly spread, then descended and lightly enveloped Lin.
"I've now accepted the old man's inheritance, the final successor of humanity, as well as the final creation of our civilization"
"… What are you now?" Lin couldn't help but ask.
"I am the Dragon of Dreams, Jue" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Lin's body trembled.
"You have a fist technique that puts your life on the line, it's also called Jue" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Lin looked at him in shock.
"Are you going to die just like that, unwilling to leave the inheritance of the Bygone Era to humanity of the future?"
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and whispered into her ear: "Lin, I've also lost many of my comrades, but I chose to live on … after all, people like you and I, even after going through so much hardship, we still have to live on, we have to live on"
"Why?" Lin asked.
"Because we can't let them die in vain"
Gu Qing Shan let go of her, took two steps back, and continued: "Those of the Samsara will still return to the Samsara after death — — your comrades must still be living in a world of the Path of Reincarnation, and I've always felt that was the case for my comrades"
"Right now, two particularly powerful techniques are attacking the Samsara, all living beings of the Samsara might become their food. From then on, if they die, they will truly die, turning into one of those terrifying monsters.
"Are you willing to let your comrades suffer such a fate? Or, are you willing to fight for them? "
Lin slowly listened as tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.
"… I … want to fight for them"
