Gu Qing Shan was floating on top of the Forgetting River.
After losing all his powers, he was nothing more than a normal dead soul, drifting along the Forgetting River and quickly disappearing into the fog at the end of the river.
In the darkness, the two figures were still standing in place.
"Do you want to speak, or should I?" the man asked.
"My child is about to be reincarnated, so I need to prepare myself in Primal Chaos to give myself the Apocalypse attribute — — - this is also considered leaving a path for him" the girl replied.
Her figure slowly disappeared.
Only the man remained.
He lightly cleared his throat and looked towards Gu Qing Shan's direction:
"Let's begin. I will place this strand of thought in the depths of your memory. If one day you meet the conditions to trigger it, you will see me and your mother coming to receive you. You will also be able to communicate with this strand of thought of mine."
"What I want to say is — — -"
"If you reach the point where your memories can be unsealed, you will have the qualifications to know a certain thing …"
"It's very important"
"It's related to time"
The man clapped his hands.
The scenery around them changed.
A small stream, a long flight of stone steps leading up the mountain.
This place is — — -
The Myriad Sound sect's mountain gate!
"Look carefully" the man told her.
Gu Qing Shan followed his gaze, only to see an airship descending from the sky and stopping next to the stream.
Wei Ni came down from the airship and spoke: "The mountain gate is right ahead, someone will come to register you. After receiving a new jade tag, you may ascend the mountain"
"Thank you, Wei Ni" a small child said.
The scene suddenly stopped.
The man spoke: "This is the situation when you first arrived at the Myriad Sound sect. Do you know what is happening in the other worlds outside of the main world right now?"
Without waiting for Gu Qing Shan to say anything, he clapped his hands again.
The scene changed.
Gu Qing Shan found herself leaving the Myriad Sound sect and standing on top of a lone mountain peak.
Intense winds were blowing, blowing away the sea of clouds below the mountain peak.
The entire world was filled with the corpses of evil spirits that stretched as far as the eye could see without end.
The man said, "Evil Demons can't openly invade the Great Desolate World. After all, the Great Desolate World is extremely powerful and there are countless Saints. Once the two sides fight, the outcome is not certain."
"And this will definitely arouse the vigilance and hostility of the Great Desolate World."
"So the evil demons thought of a method that no one expected — —"
"That's the Multiple Phase Worlds."
The man took a few steps forward and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
A majestic Taoist temple appeared in front of them.
In the Taoist temple, incense had just been lit.
The Yao Yao smoke transformed continuously, turning into the appearance of several evil spirits. They quietly flew back to the incense, biding their time.
Moments later.
A middle-aged man walked over and sat cross-legged in front of the incense. His entire body exuded a boundless amount of mana.
— — he was comprehending the Dao.
Wisps of smoke rose from the incense and surrounded him, not dissipating for a long time.
The middle-aged man suddenly revealed a strange smile and said in a low voice, "With my current strength, it's natural for me to have everything. If I want to go further, I need to break the rules of the Untainted Land and think of other ways."
This scene slowly faded away.
"They were very patient, spending a very long time to infiltrate until they took the initiative, and then …"
In the darkness, the man looked up at the sky and continued:
"You should know that at certain moments, a Phase World will overlap with the main world"
"At those moments, a Phase World will affect the main world, such as luring the Saints to fall"
In the sky, numerous evil spirits gradually appeared.
They all had the appearance of a lizard with four claws on each of their bodies.
"Look, they're all evil spirits that want to enter the main world — — - they've silently infiltrated a certain point of time, wanting to openly arrive at the main world and have everything develop according to their will" the man explained.
"Infiltrate a certain point of time?" Gu Qing Shan sharply asked.
"Indeed, when a Phase World infiltrates a certain point of time … it will then overlap with the main world"
As soon as he said that, the man crossed his arms and didn't do anything.
"At this point, Primal Chaos has yet to manifest its will, so even I, as a representative of the Four Saint Pillars, cannot easily interfere" the man explained.
"Then, are we just going to let these evil spirits invade?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No, just wait and see — — the Desolate Age Phase Worlds are about to come and fight" the man replied.
Far in the sky, faint starlight flickered and manifested into countless figures.
Heroic spirits — —
They were sword cultivators!
The sword cultivators swooped down to meet the lizards head-on, directly engaging in a battle of life and death.
Countless lizards were being held back.
But the lizards managed to avoid the sword cultivators and successfully entered the main world.
The main world.
Myriad Sound Sect.
— — -boom!!!
The ground suddenly trembled.
The child looked up to see that the entire mountain had split open from the middle.
Countless black snakes surged out from within the mountain.
They hovered in the sky, turning into four-clawed lizards that filled the entire mountain.
A high-pitched voice resounded from the top of the mountain:
"Eat everything!"
All the snakes and lizards immediately scattered and flew in all directions.
The man reached his hand forward and lightly swiped it across the void of space.
All the scenes disappeared.
"We have good news — — -"
"In the past life, you represented Primal Chaos in this war, which led to a certain outcome — — Primal Chaos had personally participated in this war, while we were able to join Primal Chaos and provide support"
"But we also have bad news"
"The evil spirits had created Phase Worlds to silently corrode the living beings of the Desolate Age — — - they had been doing this for a very long time. Too many Saints had been enticed and converted by the evil spirits at an important point in their lives"
A point in time.
Another point in time. Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but fall into thought.
The man concluded: "That's why the Desolate Age is unsalvageable — — - even if the six Saints were a hundred times more powerful than normal Saints, their time of birth was too short, and the power they obtained was too sudden for them to fight against the evil spirits of the entire Era"
"… I suspect that the Evil Demons have set up countless backup plans."
"What are they going to do about me?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think is the problem with the evil spirits?" the man asked her in return.
Gu Qing Shan recalled everything from before and spoke in a low voice: "Casually manipulating the flow of time can lead to problems — — - are the evil spirits not afraid of disrupting the flow of time and affecting themselves?"
"As expected of my son" the man exhaled in praise, then lowered his voice: "I've seen a bit of your situation, listen — — -"
"If one Era wants to replace the other, they need to completely defeat the other"
"It's a brilliant idea for you to divide the Primordial World into six parts."
"As for time … the evil spirits used the flow of time to activate their Phase Worlds and almost won against the Desolate Age, which created a Karmic Effect"
"They used too much time to create a few loopholes. If they couldn't fix all the loopholes, they wouldn't be able to become the true Era"
The man looked at Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a low voice: "Qing Shan, within the Samsara … there is an important period of time in your hands. What you need to do right now is to stall the evil demons and buy a bit more time"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What should I do?"
The man shook his head: "I can't tell you, this is the ultimate secret of time, as soon as I tell you, it will cause a huge impact on the entire timeline … but I can give you a hint"
He put a coin between his fingers and showed it to Gu Qing Shan.
"Do you still remember those three coins?" he asked.
"I do, they can travel through time" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The man flipped the coin over and showed it to her again.
"Time … is just like this coin, it's a round coin with two sides" the man explained with a serious tone.
He put the coin away and slowly retreated.
"Regardless of whether you understand or not, I won't blame you, because this is an extremely difficult task, and I don't know if you've ever accomplished it …"
"In truth, it's fine for you to be a normal expert, we won't blame you"
"If you want to put your life on the line to achieve that impossible feat, that's up to you as well — — - in truth, we have a lot of other means of combat, you don't have to participate"
"Don't feel pressured, just do what you want to do"
"Child, life is like a dream, as long as you think it's meaningful, it's right"
After saying so, the man's figure slowly faded into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
Everything was over.
Complete silence.
The orange cat put the string of beads on his front paw with a hint of warmth in his eyes.
Now that I think about it, during the time I spent with my parents, they had always treated me with sincerity.
After all, when they took me in, I had already become a normal person without any power.
— — -at this point, I've completely accepted all of Wind-Rain Saint's memories.
The orange cat arched his back, lightly leapt into the air, and quickly ran towards the final destination in his memories.
The Saint Chasing Platform!
Wind-Rain Saint's voice echoed in his mind:
"… The Age of Desolation was already over … but I didn't give up, using my identity as the Number One Divination expert, I did something to the Saint Chasing Platform"
The orange cat's eyes flickered.
Wind-Rain Saint should be Fei Yue's mother.
She represents the past Era of Space-Time, so she's on my side.
Then …
What did she do to the Saint Chasing Platform?
The orange cat's figure flashed and continued running forward until he finally saw a platform that stood above a group of coffins.
Below the platform were numerous statues of the Saints, all of whom were surrounding the platform in a worshipping posture.
This platform seemed to be used to summon and worship something.
— — -it was the Saint Chasing Platform!
Looking at the Saint Chasing Platform, the orange cat's heart began to palpitate.
A sense of foreboding that surpassed all else filled his spirit sense.
Four different colors silently manifested behind him, then faded into nothingness as if they were fluttering in the wind.
The orange cat naturally noticed this and focused his mind.
A line of glowing text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
[Attention!]
[The Primal Chaos War God UI has awakened]
The orange cat leapt into the air, turned into Gu Qing Shan in mid-air, and lightly landed on the Saint Chasing Platform.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan stood still, a loud resounding noise resounded in all ten worlds.
In the void of space, the power of countless Laws began to converge, fuse, and become increasingly powerful, rapidly advancing towards an unimaginable degree.
"The fusion of the worlds is accelerating … such unimaginable power … is this the Age of Chaos?"
Gu Qing Shan slightly raised her eyebrows and muttered to herself.
Seeing it in her memories was one thing, but witnessing it with her own eyes was another.
All the Laws and Mysteries were like a surging flood, becoming stronger at an extremely fast speed.
The Age of Chaos …
It had already begun to awaken.
This meant another important matter.
— — all six Saints had gathered!
"Is that Xue Er? Did she become a Saint of the Wraith realm? "Gu Qing Shan guessed.
At the very next moment, an unexpected change occurred — —
Layers of black fog abruptly manifested around the Saint Chasing Platform.
Countless eerie faces appeared from the black fog and looked towards Gu Qing Shan.
"It was you"
"It was you, who destroyed the Age of Chaos"
"Detestable envoy of Chaos, you've caused us to fall into this realm of eternal suffering"
"Only by devouring you can I release the hatred in my heart!"
"I'll devour you!"
The faces all roared in unison.
Gu Qing Shan looked around and gradually recognized a few familiar faces.
Saints.
These were all Saints of the Age of Chaos who had been turned into evil demons!
They had clearly followed the evil demons into the Samsara world, but for some reason, all of them appeared here.
Suddenly, a voice resounded:
"An era has finally come to an end"
The voices of the Saints instantly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan turned around, only to see that the black statue had appeared in the void of space outside the platform.
"All of these Saints … had been turned into evil demons?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course, only this way would the new era arrive faster, furthermore — — -"
The black statue chanted an obscure incantation.
Hoh — —
All the black fog gathered together, exuding a ferocious presence from its hand.
The black statue continued to channel the Dao technique and slowly spoke: "This is a technique that can destroy an era — — - I hope that you can witness the end of the Age of Chaos with your own eyes — — perhaps, you can take this opportunity to guess which of the six Saints is on our side"
"I won't guess" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The black statue stopped.
It slowly continued: "You are the most worthy opponent of my Samsara — — - if you surrender now, I can make you the master of all the Saints of the Age of Chaos, equal to me"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the demonized faces of the Saints and casually spoke:
"I will not forgive any of these Saints, nor will I become their master"
The black statue sighed and spoke: "How regretful, then you shall follow the Age of Chaos and become a sacrifice of the new era"
The Dao technique in its hand had turned into a pillar of black light that reached the sky, about to be completed.
At the very next moment — — -
Gu Qing Shan suddenly spoke up: "If you want to win against the Age of Chaos, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer"
Lines of glowing text appeared in front of his eyes:
[Request accepted]
[Currently releasing the power of the four Saint Pillars!!!]
[Space-Time coordinates confirmed]
[Returning to your unique point of Space-Time closed loop]
[At this point of Space-Time closed loop, you are both from the future, the past, and the present, forming a perfect closed loop where no one would be able to see through your true origins]
[Five]
[Four]
[Three]
[Two]
[One]
[— — -Depart!]
A golden glow enveloped Gu Qing Shan and took him away from the black statue.
…
Let's rewind time a bit.
At another location.
Inside the boundless fog of darkness.
— — -the surroundings were completely silent. There was no wind, no air, not even a single sound.
The giant corpse's voice resounded: "Gu Qing Shan, you are the child of living beings and the child of Apocalypse. Now that you have been split in two, you can do two different things"
The Gu Qing Shan who belonged to living beings replied: "Very well, then I'll return to the Samsara, I have something I need to do right away"
"I'll send you there" the giant corpse said.
At the very next moment, the Gu Qing Shan who belonged to the Samsara seemed to have been pulled by something and vanished.
Only Gu Qing Shan remained.
— — the Gu Qing Shan who belonged to the Apocalypse.
He spoke to the giant corpse: "Then, I should be able to do something"
The giant corpse sighed and replied: "I've said it before, you who belong to living beings is still within your predetermined destiny. Because of that, everything will develop in a direction that benefits the evil demons. This is the moment when the Era is about to begin, it will definitely not be changed by you alone"
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "At least I can buy a bit of time …"
"Then that would be the best outcome. In truth, our only hope lies with you in your Apocalypse form" the giant corpse told him.
"Ah? Tell me about your plan "Gu Qing Shan said.
"The plan … is for you to decide, I can only tell you what our goal is" the giant corpse replied.
"What is it?" the Apocalypse Gu Qing Shan asked.
"— — -Awaken the Eras slumbering within Primal Chaos and initiate the war of the Eras"
