The vertical pupil stared straight at Gu Qing Shan.
It hurriedly spoke in an eerie language, trying to communicate with Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "No — — I will not guide you here, nor will I provide you with any power"
The vertical pupil gave off killing intent.
A 7-colored thread shot out from the vertical pupil towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "You don't have the power to activate that technique, just give up"
Around the vertical pupil, the grey mountain continued to collapse.
— — -the vertical pupil was trying its best to obtain enough power from the grey mountain to form some sort of evil power.
Unfortunately, everything about the eight-armed giant had already been washed away by time.
If not for the large number of living beings sacrificed, the vertical pupil wouldn't even have had the chance to be born.
It was all a fluke.
But the possibility had already appeared. Then, in this world, evil entities had obtained their rightful 'position'.
This time, Gu Qing Shan rejected him.
But what about the next time?
What kind of choice would the Saints who desired to join the new era make?
Gu Qing Shan's gaze dimmed.
He grabbed the twin swords [Longevity] and [Bai Zhan] from the void of space and lightly leapt forward.
Two cold gleams of light crossed each other.
The vertical pupil was instantly slashed to pieces by a thick golden light, completely disappearing from the Great Desolate world.
Gu Qing Shan turned around, leapt back to the edge of the crater, and sheathed his swords.
He appeared a bit desolate.
"These Saints couldn't wait to enter the new era, but they didn't know that they themselves represented history, and were the ones that the new era wanted to eliminate"
"Kneeling down will not be accepted, they will only become food for the other party even faster"
Gu Qing Shan seemed to be a bit emotional and muttered:
"A bunch of laughable and foolish fools, forgetting their roots and pursuing illusions, their fates have already been decided"
"— — -if that's the case, why would I need to save such an era?"
He shook his head and turned around.
In front of him, an illusory bronze gate appeared.
He placed his hand on the bronze door and was about to push it open when he heard a sound behind him.
Gu Qing Shan turned around to look.
The Longevity Sword danced back and forth, bursting out with a series of urgent sorrowful cries, as if it had something to say.
Gu Qing Shan lowered her head and thought for a few breaths.
The world was silent, as if waiting for his decision.
Moments later.
His voice rang out in the empty, deserted place.
"The world is about to collapse, but the saints are all thieves, self-destructing. This is the karma of the change of eras. Even if I have the power of Chaos, I am not willing to save this world for them."
"Everything has been destroyed, and karma is not empty. Let everything revolve according to their karma."
With that, he pushed the door open.
At this moment, the Hundred Battle Sword rushed over and stopped by his side, bursting out with a roar that soared into the sky.
Gu Qing Shan was startled.
"What do you want me to see?" he asked.
The Hundred Battle Sword didn't answer, only continued to roar as hard as it could.
The Longevity Sword also flew to his side, letting out a rhythmic roar together with the Hundred Battle Sword.
They seemed to be calling for something.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan sensed an extremely rare situation.
He couldn't help but turn around and look at the faraway void of space — — -
From the void of space, faint figures of light were slowly approaching.
These figures of light seemed to be from another world.
"A Phase World is coinciding with the Main World … what will come next?"
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully muttered.
After a brief moment of thought, he lightly pressed his hand against the void of space.
In a flash, the bronze gate disappeared.
He turned around and walked towards the figure of light, wanting to see what it was.
The surrounding figures of light sensed his movement and changed even faster — — -
In the blink of an eye, the wilderness around Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
Everything became invisible.
There was light — -
In the dark and desolate void of space, thousands of dim sprites of light quickly gathered like a storm.
They manifested themselves into humanoid figures one after another.
Gu Qing Shan silently watched and pondered: "Heroic Spirits … I don't recall any Heroic Spirits in the Great Desolate world … after all, this is a very difficult path to take"
The humanoid figures formed by the sprites of light hovered in the air, densely packed and neatly arranged, all looking at Gu Qing Shan.
They were smiling.
— — -they were all Heroic Spirits!
Gu Qing Shan's gaze wandered through the ranks of the Heroic Spirits and quickly found the sword cultivator.
The Hundred Battle Sword flew forward, happily circled around the sword cultivator once before reluctantly flying back.
The sword cultivator smiled at Gu Qing Shan, flew out, and waved at the Heroic Spirits.
This seemed to be a signal — — -
One of the Heroic Spirits raised his hand.
Over a thousand Heroic Spirits all raised their hands as well.
They seemed to be calling for something, but also waiting for something.
— — -in order to continue fighting, they had no choice but to separate, but now it was time for them to reunite.
Gu Qing Shan's expression slowly changed as he looked up at the sky.
Swords!
Flying swords!
A flying sword dragged a long whistling sound as it sped over from the distant horizon.
More flying swords were coming!
Thousands of swords fell like rain, forming a line that flew from all over the Great Desolate world.
Faint voices resounded in Gu Qing Shan's ears:
"The sword is named Eternal Protection, to protect all living beings, never to rest until death"
"The sword is named Demon Destroyer, the wielder of this sword swears to destroy all demons"
"The sword is named Solitary, even though it is solitary, the path is not solitary, there will always be comrades"
"The sword is named Clear Slash …"
"The sword is named Long Song …"
"The sword is named Evil Slayer …"
"The sword is named …"
As these voices resounded, numerous flying swords appeared, hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan, exuding an eerie sword will.
Time slowly passed.
Hundreds of thousands of flying swords all hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan, motionless, as if waiting for his call, ready to slay the demons, slay the enemies, and slay all injustice.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the flying swords, then at the Heroic Spirits.
The Heroic Spirits were still smiling at him, silently looking at him.
The sound of the wind became silent.
It was as if the entire world was waiting for something.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "All of you sword cultivators are already dead …"
He reached out his hand and grasped it from afar.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of swords exuded boundless sword qi. The sword qi soared into the sky, turning into a resounding resonance that shook the entire world.
The swords left Gu Qing Shan's face, landing behind him one by one and disappearing into the void of space.
From now on, they would follow him into battle.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Heroic Spirits and said:
"Your will has been conveyed to me, from now on … I will try to save the living beings of this world, as well as everyone else like you"
The Heroic Spirits nodded in unison, their bodies gradually dimmed, turning into faint light that disappeared into the distance.
A voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's ears:
"There are Saints … who also stand on the side of living beings …"
Following that, a scene appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
When the scene ended, an intense gust of wind swept across the world.
For a brief moment, the sun and moon lost their light. All traces of the previous battle were completely destroyed by this gust of wind.
Even the huge grey mountain was completely blown away.
There wasn't a single speck of the evil spirits' flesh and blood left in the crater.
The Heroic Spirits had covered everything up.
This was a good thing for Gu Qing Shan.
The intense gust of wind continued to howl.
— — -the Aspect Realm slowly left the Main World.
The world returned to normal.
Gu Qing Shan found himself still standing in front of the crater.
But something was different around him.
Hundreds of thousands of flying swords were following him.
There were also countless Heroic Spirits protecting him in the shadows.
They were all with him.
Gu Qing Shan recalled the scene from before, determined the direction, then turned into a blurred image and quickly went away.
A few hours later.
In the middle of a desert, he found a lonely grave.
When he opened the grave, he saw the corpse of a cultivator who had died in battle.
"Sure enough, a sword cultivator …"
Gu Qing Shan crouched down and lightly took the item from the corpse's hand.
— — -it was an ancient bronze lamp.
Numerous complicated patterns were carved on the outside of the lamp, displaying the image of a dark and stormy world.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a few moments, then put her hand on the bronze lamp and infused it.
Spirit energy was infused into it, activating the countless runes on the inside of the bronze lamp.
The wick of the lamp glowed with a faint blue light.
As the light appeared, a faint female voice resounded:
"I've been in seclusion for many years, who is it that is holding my keepsake to summon me?"
"Who are you?" Gu Qing Shan asked in return.
"I am the Wind-Rain Saint" the female voice replied.
