Gu Qing Shan held the dim Elder Lamp in his hand and said:
"I am … a sword cultivator, a sword cultivator"
The other side went silent for a few moments.
A sigh was heard.
"Finally, this moment has come, I've prepared for this for a very long time" Saint Wind-Rain said.
"Prepared?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, I know who you are — — I've already foreseen this moment, after all, I came from that Radiant River before I reincarnated" Saint Wind-Rain replied.
Gu Qing Shan's expression froze and said in surprise: "I didn't think you'd enter the Great Desolate Era"
"Everything is for the sake of survival" Saint Wind-Rain replied.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything, seemingly thinking about something.
Saint Wind-Rain continued: "I've waited for a very long time in the Great Desolate Era for your arrival. I wanted to see your attitude before I could decide on anything else"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Everything doesn't depend on my attitude, but rather the attitude of the living beings. Their actions will determine the direction of the era"
"But there is still a guide — — after all, the Great Desolate Era originated from Primal Chaos, Primal Chaos would send a guide" Saint Wind-Rain replied.
"It seems we need to meet" Gu Qing Shan said.
Saint Wind-Rain replied: "There isn't much time left, we need to meet right away"
As soon as he said so, the light faded.
This memory segment had ended.
The orange cat stared at the lamp in front of him and fell into thought.
— — -Saint Wind-Rain.
During the Great Desolate Era, she should have stood on the side of the living beings.
What happened next?
What happened next?
The orange cat looked around.
The entire Grounds of No Turning was desolate, all the coffins had been opened, the heavenly beings and evil creatures had all headed towards the Samsara worlds.
— — there really isn't much time left!
The orange cat lightly leapt forward, no longer hiding his figure, and followed the path in his memory.
He soon arrived at the next location.
This was a dusty wall.
The orange cat reached his paw out and lightly scratched the wall, pushing away the dust to reveal a string of beads inside.
The orange cat carefully picked up the string of beads.
The memories of the past once again appeared in his mind, turning into a scene from countless years ago.
…
"Three thousand heads can condense a new evil rune."
"Old Fu, you're still too conservative. Yesterday, I used the blood of eight thousand wild beasts and four thousand human hearts to cultivate a new evil technique. Tsk tsk, that technique has truly surpassed the techniques of the prehistoric era. Even if the new era comes, I believe that this technique won't be bad."
"Oh? May I ask how exactly did you complete that spell? "
"Hehe, everyone understands. Take out your resources to trade. As long as you're satisfied, I'll trade this dao technique with you."
In the hall, the Sages were having a heated discussion.
Gu Qing Shan was dressed in a Daoist robe. She stood quietly at the side, pouring tea and changing fruit plates from time to time.
Just as the Saints were talking animatedly, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Everyone, the techniques we're researching now have long since surpassed the primitive laws, and it requires the consumption of countless lives. It's like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs … I'm worried that the primitive world will collapse completely."
The Sages fell silent.
Someone spoke up: "Using sneak attacks to kill all the sword cultivators in the world, I remember that you were the one who came up with the idea, and now you're saying that you're worried that the world will collapse, what exactly are you trying to say?"
The man smiled and said, "I'm just worried."
Another person spoke: "Don't worry, when we're almost done with our research, we'll naturally be able to leave this Great Era and become a more powerful evil lord, occupying a favorable position in the new era"
"That's right"
"We'll be the ones to survive the great calamity of the Great Era"
"There's no hope for mortals, only us Sages have the hope of not being drowned by the torrent of the new era"
The Sages were all talking at once.
Gu Qing Shan listened for a while, spoke to another servant beside her, then left the hall. Passing through the numerous pavilions, she walked to a quiet place and knocked on the white jade door in front of her.
There was incense burning in the room, there was no light, and a woman was sitting in the darkness.
The woman was holding a baby, coaxing him to sleep.
"Have you seen it?" the woman asked.
"Hm" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"What do you think?" the woman asked again.
"This group of Saints are the best of the best, they've already noticed the change in the Era and ambushed us at the right time, eliminating all who could resist. Right now, they're the strongest in the entire Great Desolate world" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Do you have a way to deal with them?" the woman asked.
"… I've only descended for a short period of time, I need more time to grow" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well, I'll do my best to buy you more time" the woman replied.
The two of them suddenly stopped talking at the same time.
A strange fluctuation silently spread through the void of space.
At the very next moment.
The two of them disappeared.
The meeting hall.
The Sages had already scattered.
Only a single Saint stood at the center of the hall, forming a hand seal.
In front of him stood a monster.
— — -it was a monster that didn't look much different from a human, its entire body had no skin, revealing the outline of black muscles, four pairs of compound eyes on its face, constantly observing its surroundings.
"An evil lifeform — — look, I've summoned a true evil creature!"
The Saint excitedly declared.
The others silently observed the monster.
"Why can't it talk?"
"The first successful summoning might only be a low-level entity"
"But it definitely has some unusual abilities, after all, it's a completely different power system from us"
"Then how do we measure the strength of these things from now on?"
"Let's wait and see first"
The Sages were all talking at once.
All of a sudden, the monster turned around and stared closely at Gu Qing Shan with its four pairs of compound eyes.
It carefully observed Gu Qing Shan.
The surroundings became silent.
The four pairs of compound eyes on the monster's face opened wider and wider, as if it had seen something extraordinary.
It abruptly opened its mouth and spoke in human language:
「 Heehee, I found you as soon as I arrived 」
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
Saint Wind-Rain had already swung his sleeve — — -
[Long River], [Time Reversal]!
In a split second, everything began to flow backwards, as if time was being rewound, returning to how it was just a few minutes ago.
The Saints still hadn't summoned the evil creatures.
Gu Qing Shan knocked on the door and entered Saint Wind-Rain's room.
As soon as they began to talk.
"Quickly leave!" Saint Wind-Rain shouted.
"It's too late, your technique is a technique from the past Era, you definitely won't be able to stop that Lord of Evil" Gu Qing Shan shook her head.
Saint Wind-Rain stood up and gave the baby to Gu Qing Shan.
"She's fated to be with you in the future … take her away, I'll stall for a bit" Saint Wind-Rain quickly said.
Boom — —
The entire room was turned to dust and disappeared.
The black monster with four pairs of compound eyes slowly walked out from the void of space.
It looked at Gu Qing Shan and shook its head: 「 Only three years old … pitiful girl, you haven't even matured yet, so you don't have the strength to fight against us 」
Saint Wind-Rain didn't say anything else and stood in front of Gu Qing Shan.
She stood in front of the monster and pulled with both hands.
In a split second, a grand and resplendent River of Time manifested in the sky.
The monster looked up.
「 Space-Time Era … 」 it remained cautious and continued: 「 The Era that belonged to you had already ended, the one that replaced you was the Age of Chaos, I didn't think you would still join forces 」
「 An Era has a beginning and an end, this is an unshakable rule 」 Saint Wind-Rain replied.
「 If that's the case, you should calmly accept our Era and become our Era's vassal 」 the monster said.
「 In the Age of Chaos, even living beings could rest and recuperate, but your Era would cause everything to go mad, turning them into monsters that lost themselves — — - your Era would change everything, unable to be ended by anyone after you 」 Saint Wind-Rain replied.
The monster went silent for a bit, then said: 「 So you can even see that … then there's nothing I can do about it 」
It retreated step by step, and said unhurriedly, "You're right.
「 From the moment I descended, the evil creatures will come one after another — — - the entire world is welcoming us 」
「 You have already been abandoned, only death awaits 」
「 The next time we meet, I will have enough power to turn all of you into evil creatures 」
「 I look forward to our next meeting 」
The evil creature's voice disappeared.
It walked towards the buildings where the Saints were gathered.
Saint Wind-Rain stared at the monster's back and quickly sent his voice: "It's only a clone, killing it would be useless, it would only expose my abilities"
"I know" Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.
"Let's go — — - I'll bring you away and buy you enough time to grow" Saint Wind-Rain said.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while, then replied: "It's useless …"
Saint Wind-Rain followed her gaze.
Only to see the Saints surrounding the monster in an empty field not too far away, excitedly chatting with one another.
— — -it was unknown what kind of power the monster used to make the Saints not notice what happened here at all.
A large number of buildings were destroyed, a River of Time even appeared in the sky.
Such a huge commotion didn't draw the Saints' attention at all.
They only stared at the monster.
"How many resources did it take to summon this monster?"
"A hundred thousand living beings"
"Its body is as tough as a treasure tool, once it's refined into a battle avatar, it would definitely be able to slaughter everything in its path"
"That's right"
"As long as we can survive this Great Tribulation, sacrificing a bit of living beings is worth it"
"Indeed"
"That's right"
…
Gu Qing Shan silently watched this.
The monster even turned around to look at him with a mocking look in its four pairs of compound eyes.
"Being abandoned by the living beings of your own era, yet still trying to save them, this must not be a good feeling — — - but the change of era has already begun, there is no stopping it" the monster spoke through telepathy.
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer.
He was holding the infant in one hand while holding Saint Wind-Rain's hand with the other.
His gaze became sharp and resolute.
From the look of it, he had made a decision.
