Countless years later.
In a rather boring introductory class.
Among the drowsy students, a certain little boy raised his hand timidly.
The teacher pointed at him: "Is there a problem?"
The boy stood up with a doubtful expression and asked: "Teacher, why can God's portraits and statues be naked?"
As soon as this question was asked, the other students became spirited.
"Child" the teacher said with a smile: "God is pure, supreme, and flawless, and the body of God shows us the extension of this beauty and majesty"
"Is that why Gods can be naked?" the little boy asked in confusion.
"According to historical records, the gods actually had a robe."
"Then — –"
"Once you start studying ancient history, you'll know the truth, I don't mind telling you ahead of time"
"Teacher, please explain it to me"
The old teacher cleared his throat and explained: "A long time ago, God held a ritual in the mortal realm to declare his unparalleled majesty and power to all living beings … when the ritual was about to be completed, an angel descended and helped God take off his mortal robe"
"— — -according to the analysis of later historians, the mortal realm's robe was not a match for God's body, so at the end of the ritual, the angel no longer allowed the robe to cover God's majesty"
The boy was surprised: "That's why God only wore a single robe? Then wouldn't he be — – "
"No" the teacher resolutely answered, "God's entire body was covered in a blinding light, no one could clearly see his body"
Ah — –
A regretful sigh resounded throughout the class.
The old teacher smiled and continued: "That's right, most people wouldn't be able to see God's body, only a very small number of people claimed to have seen God's body for an extremely brief moment. After that, they used their artistic skills and imagination to recreate the scene in the form of oil paintings and sculptures during the construction of the Holy Church"
"— — -and then all of this was passed down"
The boy couldn't help but ask: "God didn't have any objections?"
The old teacher replied: "God is a prideful being, he wouldn't specifically issue a divine decree for such a small matter — — of course, that's only one way of saying it, the other way is — –"
"God once secretly descended to the mortal realm to investigate this matter"
"And then?"
"It is said that he wanted to be angry, but after seeing the beautiful sculptures and the magnificent and sacred oil paintings, he seemed to be quite satisfied with everything."
"What do you mean by quite satisfied?"
"Literally, child."
…
Let everything go back to that moment.
Gu Qing Shan tore off the luxurious robe and threw it away.
Before the robe touched the ground, it suddenly flew into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
"Trying to run?"
Gu Qing Shan said coldly.
His entire body transformed into a wisp of sword light that vanished from the high platform like a bolt of lightning.
Look at this scene again.
Shroud's reaction wasn't slow at all — —
The moment his robe was torn off, he immediately released a dazzling white light. He spread his arms and shouted,
"Ah, my subjects, my believers, let the holy light shine upon you and give you the highest blessing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white light on his body blazed even more intensely, completely covering his original figure.
Everyone knelt down in front of the high platform, prostrating themselves while chanting their praises like a tsunami.
Fei Yue and the blind nun were hiding within the crowd, cautiously observing their surroundings.
This was something that Gu Qing Shan specifically told them to do.
— — Shroud was currently in a weakened state, so it was only with Fei Yue and the blind nun protecting him from the shadows that they could rest assured.
"The old swindler …"
Fei Yue was dazzled by the blinding white light and muttered in dissatisfaction.
The blind nun, on the other hand, looked at the white light with interest and commented: "His figure isn't bad"
— — only the heavens know how she saw it so clearly.
A few moments later.
An unusual fluctuation appeared.
An illusory river appeared in the sky.
— — the River of Life!
Under Shroud's full summoning, it was about to completely fuse with the human realm and become the ruler of everything in this mortal realm!
…
A flash of sword light quickly flew across the sky.
After flashing several times, it instantly overtook the robe and blocked the other party's path.
— — even though the Lonesome Swan Flying Immortal technique wasn't complete, it had never lost to anyone in terms of speed.
"I didn't think that after such a long time, I would once again fight against the wielder of the [Mystery of All Beings Equal]" Gu Qing Shan said.
The robe turned into a monster covered in starlight and spoke in a low voice: "I am a Star-type entity, do not interfere with my business for now. Once I take away that guy's Origin power, I will split it evenly with you!"
Gu Qing Shan chuckled: "The [Mystery of All Beings Equal] is a powerful and unique convergence of Laws, sometimes, I even feel that it's more useful than [Mystery of All Beings Equal] — — - but why is such a Mystery always grasped by a few unclear fellows?"
The monster panicked and hurriedly said: "This is the final chance, I can teach you this Mystery as long as you allow me to kill that guy"
Gu Qing Shan silently released her inner sight and scanned the high platform several tens of thousands of miles away.
Shroud's presence was extremely weak, currently at his weakest.
Fortunately, Fei Yue and the blind nun were hiding in the crowd, silently protecting Shroud.
One of them had the power of Fate, while the other could predict the future, a perfect combination.
Gu Qing Shan calmed down and told the monster:
"Win against me, and you can kill him"
The monster stared closely at her, then abruptly manifested a war hammer glowing with starlight in its hand.
「 Despicable bastard, I'm going to kill you right now! 」
The monster roared and struck its own chest with the hammer.
It spat out a mouthful of blood.
「 Dragon! 」
The monster screeched, then flashed and attempted to flee.
But even as it tried to twitch its body, it couldn't escape even after a few tries.
The monster no longer hesitated and turned into a pile of rubble with a 'pop'.
The rubble immediately fell to the ground below.
Gu Qing Shan blinked in surprise.
— — -just like that, my [Azure Dragon Hex] was broken?
A line of crimson text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[The main body of your Hex was this void monster, so when it turned into a pile of rubble, it was no longer the same void monster from before, so the Dragon Hex failed]
So that's how it works!
The pile of rubble instantly turned back into the monster and shouted: "Wait a minute, I'm — –"
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and lightly tapped the air with his finger.
The monster immediately sensed his murderous intent. Without saying a word, it turned around and flew into the distance.
On Gu Qing Shan's fingertip, the divine power of the five flying swords was manifested into a single blinding sword phantom, which flashed through the endless void and caught up to the monster.
Sha!
The monster didn't even have time to scream before it turned into a mist of blood that was slowly blown away by the wind.
— — -when he first entered the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, Gu Qing Shan had to be extremely careful when dealing with these void monsters.
But now, he had slowly learned how to use the power of the Earth God, reaching the realm of the Earth God's hammer.
He had even turned into the Dragon of Dreams of the human realm and grasped the technique to increase his power by 30 times.
As for his swordsmanship — — -
In terms of swordsmanship, Gu Qing Shan had embarked on a path that no one could match.
He was paving the way for all sword cultivators of the world!
With his current strength, he could already stand on par with the three techniques!
That void monster had been trapped in the great tomb for countless years without the ability to escape, so how could it possibly compete against Gu Qing Shan?
Lines of notification quickly appeared on the highest-ranking Sequence UI:
[You've killed that void monster]
[It was already dead before it could call out its name, so there's no need for this Sequence to mention it here]
[You've completed all of the Quest's requirements]
[Attention!]
[According to the covenant of this Sequence, as soon as you achieve this name, an image hidden deep within the Primal Chaos will be triggered]
"Image? What is it? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
[— — it has come!] the highest-ranking Sequence replied.
A golden waterfall descended from the void of space.
A cluster of light manifested in front of Gu Qing Shan, manifesting into the figure of a man.
A burly man in a martial arts suit appeared.
He was wearing a floral apron, holding a spatula in his hand as he looked at Gu Qing Shan.
As Gu Qing Shan looked at the man, her heart suddenly tightened.
The man held a cigarette in his mouth as he looked at Gu Qing Shan's direction: "Have you started recording? Yes, cough cough, Qing Shan, nice to meet you, I'm your father "
"I don't know if you'll be able to see this image or not, after all, how old are you — — - but your mom said that you'll definitely be able to see it, so let's record it"
"If one day, you're able to kill those void monsters, it'll prove that you've grown up"
"How should I say this — –"
"I've been thinking about it, but I feel that telling you too many secrets would actually be harming you"
"Then, let me tutor you with your studies"
"That's all I have to say, your mom is going to complain about being hungry again when she comes back from shopping, so I won't say anything else"
"Keep in mind, only by studying hard can you become stronger"
As soon as he finished.
The man turned around, put the pot on top of the stove, and began to cook.
He continued without turning around: "I sincerely hope that you'll be able to become someone who can stand on your own … so in another two years, I'll personally teach you so that you won't be bullied by others"
"But your mother has been having a bad premonition lately, so she begged me to give you a bit of teaching — — and it's the safest way to stay within Chaos"
"I feel like she's making a big deal out of nothing — –"
"But who dares to say that they can see the future clearly? Even your mother sometimes makes mistakes, that's why I agreed to keep this image "
"I hope that you won't have to use it"
"I hope that our family will always be safe and sound"
The image slowly faded.
Lines of crimson text quickly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[— — You've obtained the Title: Void War God]
"Title: Void War God."
[Description: You've won against the unsightly monsters of the void, you may begin to wander around]
[Equipping this Title will grant you a unique Title Skill: Mystery Cultivation]
