Within the boundless sea of ash, a dot of light slowly flew out.
The dot of light manifested as a drop of golden water that lightly floated in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"This is … the power of Primal Chaos …"
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and caught the drop of water.
A line of crimson text quickly appeared:
[Spirit of Chaos: General Wodetian Visemo La Mo had sensed some sort of hidden danger, so it had given up on communicating with you]
[It had left a piece of information within this drop of Primal Chaos Origin power and sent it to you]
[Furthermore, this Ash Apocalypse can end at any time — — - as soon as you call for it to stop]
[Do you intend to look at the information first, or end this Apocalypse first?]
Gu Qing Shan immediately replied: "Look at the information first!"
A line of crimson text quickly appeared in front of his eyes:
[Attention, this is a recording]
[It has been unfolded — —]
Gu Qing Shan's vision blurred, but the sea of ash had already disappeared.
He stood within the boundless golden fog, other than the fog, he couldn't see anything else.
All of a sudden, Chicken Grandpa's voice resounded:
[Gu Qing Shan, there are some matters that I need to inform you about ahead of time]
The fog completely scattered.
As Gu Qing Shan looked around, he saw an endless golden waterfall.
— — Primal Chaos!
This was completely different from the usual phenomena. Gu Qing Shan felt as if the entire world was filled with a golden waterfall.
He released his inner sight towards the depths of the waterfall, but couldn't find the end.
Chicken Grandpa's voice resounded again:
[We know a few of the simplest Laws, manifesting them as appearances — — - just like how fruits will fall to the ground when they ripen, life will flourish and then wither, rivers will flow to the ocean — — -]
[Beneath the appearances, is the convergence and interweaving of the Laws]
[When the Laws manifest a secret power that surpasses the usual appearances, they can be called Mysteries]
"Furthermore, in the boundless infinite worlds, there was once an incident that occurred."
[The Mysteries of Death, Destruction, and Eternal Silence had converged in the void of space according to their nature, manifesting as an unimaginable, undefeatable power — —]
[This was Primal Chaos]
[Primal Chaos is undefeatable, the eternal ruin of all things and living beings]
"Chaos is an existence formed by the convergence of countless mysteries. It is not life —"
"That is why Chaos does not have specific thoughts, and its will is not the will of all living beings. The choices it makes are only arranged according to mysteries and similarities, without any emotion or reason."
"Some existences gradually understood the greatness of Chaos. They thought of ways to borrow the power of Chaos to fight and destroy everything."
"These existences are called — the Apocalypse."
"I'm telling you so much because you're going to meet them very soon …"
"Gu Qing Shan, you have obtained the favor of Chaos. This is partly because of your parents, but it also proves that you are very compatible with the mysteries of Chaos."
"— — -this will definitely anger those Apocalypses, because the stronger you are, the more power of Chaos you will be able to utilize, and the more passive the Apocalypses will be in front of you"
"You will become a thorn in their side."
"The fight for the Six Paths of Reincarnation … has reached a certain point in time …"
"You have to be careful of those Apocalypses."
"— They are not the same as you."
As soon as the voice said so, the scenery turned to ash and disappeared.
Standing on the sea of ash, Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
So that's what happened.
Earlier on the battlefield, Dragon God was still fighting against one of the [Myriad Life] for something.
But after the Huang Quan Saint was born, they would most likely band together to fight against the Apocalypses and head to the Ultimate Tomb as soon as possible.
In other words — —
I need to head to the Ultimate Tomb as soon as possible!
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan held the golden water droplet tightly, preparing to release the ash Apocalypse.
Suddenly.
The highest-ranking esper reminded her again:
[You are one of the nine faces of [Myriad Life Decoy]]
[Your insect swarm trial: Reproduction has ended]
At the very next moment — —
Two black figures broke through the void of space and landed at Gu Qing Shan's feet.
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
It was a set of bird bones, as well as a withered insect shell.
Strange …
Could this be the reward for the trial?
No!
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized and loudly asked while holding the bird bones: "Crow? What happened to you? "
The bird bones struggled to stand up and moaned: "Mortal Purgatory … marrow sucking bone … argh …"
The bird bones fell down and stopped moving.
A few moments later.
The bird began to snore.
Hearing its rhythmic snoring, Gu Qing Shan calmed down a bit.
— — -if it's still sleeping so soundly, there must be no issues.
He recalled Crow back into the [Sequence], held the withered insect shell with both hands, and asked: "How are you?"
The Eternal Thought Stealer's weak voice resounded from inside the insect shell:
「 I still have one last breath left … but I've finally succeeded. Remember, if you choose this path, you must take me with you to see it for yourself 」
Gu Qing Shan looked at the void of space.
A notification appeared in the void of space:
"The Worm King can lead one of his guards into the path."
— — -this is a bit similar to Lola's apotheosis ceremony.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Don't worry, I didn't think you would be one of the faces of [Myriad Life Decoy], I've also been wanting to get to the bottom of this"
The insect sighed in relief.
A split second later.
Lines of blood-red text manifested in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[You have passed the test]
[After you have made your preparations, you shall become one of the faces of [Myriad Life Decoy]: Reverse, and step onto the corresponding path]
Gu Qing Shan thought of something.
The Ash Apocalypse was the best disguise. If I escape from this Apocalypse right now, the [War Order] would be able to recover their communications and monitor my situation again.
Which means … I can't destroy this Apocalypse for now.
Let's take a look at the secret of [Myriad Life Decoy] first!
Following his thoughts, several images slowly manifested and gently enveloped his body.
Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of realization.
He held the insect in his hand and silently sent his voice:
"Pay attention, I'm going to take you to see this face called 'Reverse'"
The insect became spirited and called out: "Got it!"
The light lightly put them away and vanished from the sea of ash.
…
Gu Qing Shan quickly flew through the boundless darkness of space.
His speed was so fast that it only took him the blink of an eye to pass through the blinding River of Space and Time.
Outside the River of Space and Time — —
There was nothing but emptiness around him. Gu Qing Shan lightly landed on top of a cloud of mist.
"A cloud?"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused and looked up, only to see a gigantic figure hiding within the cloud of mist.
— — -it was the black statue!
The statue slowly rotated as the nine insect faces rotated in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Each time they rotated in front of Gu Qing Shan, they would lower their heads and stare at him.
After a while, the black statue's figure slowly stopped.
This time, it was the same insect face that was facing Gu Qing Shan.
"Pay attention, we should be able to see your true form very soon" Gu Qing Shan said.
The Eternal Thought Stealer became excited and muttered: 「 This face … really does look a bit like me … 」
One human and one insect waited for a few moments.
A resounding voice resounded from the black statue:
「 The nine faces represent the nine paths 」
「 On each path, the Insectoids have triumphed over unimaginable enemies, using this to form the unparalleled Insect Swarm Technique. There are a total of nine such techniques, collectively known as — — 」
「 Thousand Spirit Obscurity Technique! 」
「 Next, you shall witness the birth of the 'Reversal' Face … 」
The black statue turned into a mass of light and spread itself in front of Gu Qing Shan and the Eternal Thought Stealer, displaying the moment when the 'Reversal' Face was born — — -
In the image, four figures were chasing each other at breakneck speed, clashing, then separating.
"What!?" Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in shock.
Even with his mental fortitude, he couldn't help but blurt out as he watched this scene of battle.
It was a horrifying scene of battle.
Gu Qing Shan recognized all four figures.
They were the Dragon God, the [One Man Ten Thousand Lives Technique], the [Thousand Spirit Obscurity Technique], and — —
The former Emperor Of Heaven!
In other words, this was the historical moment when the three of them fought against the Emperor Of Heaven!
"With just the three of you, you dare challenge the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
The former Emperor Of Heaven smirked.
With the Heavenly Book of Reincarnation in hand, he unleashed a series of earth-shattering techniques, viciously suppressing the three techniques.
The Dragon God was covered in blood, barely managing to stay alive by relying on the parallel worlds that kept appearing.
The [One Man Ten Thousand Lives Technique] charged forward a few times, but the former Emperor Of Heaven only glanced at it once, causing its body to crumble and retreat.
Countless specks of light flew over from the void of space, helping the [One Man Ten Thousand Lives Technique] to reform its body, but it was barely enough.
The [Thousand Spirit Obscurity Technique] also dropped countless insect bodies, barely able to maintain the pale giant's form.
The former Emperor Of Heaven looked at the three techniques and said with a hint of interest, "That's it? Fine, I'm tired of fighting you … Next, I'll send you to reincarnation "
He flipped the pages of the book.
The Eternal Thought Snatcher watched this scene silently and suddenly screeched, "I remember now … It's this moment!"
"What moment?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Before the Eternal Thought Stealer could answer, something happened on the battlefield — —
The former Emperor Of Heaven was about to unleash a technique, but his body suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
He facepalmed and muttered: "What … is this?"
All of a sudden, the former Emperor Of Heaven roared in pain.
A good chance — —
Boom!
The pale giant abruptly turned into a swarm of Eternal insects and flew forward.
The swarm of insects circled around the former Emperor Of Heaven's body, but were swept away by the rays of light that shot out from the Heavenly Book of Reincarnation, turning them into dust on the spot.
Only a single insect managed to pass through the layers of defensive techniques and landed on the nape of the former Emperor Of Heaven's neck.
The insect pulled out a long needle from its tail and stabbed it down!
