Within the fog, an island slowly floated.
Gu Qing Shan stood by herself at the edge of the island, looking at the void in front of her.
— — under the escort of the Time clan, Gu Suan had just left.
She would continue to swim against the flow of the River of Time, moving forward until she reached that point in time.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
If I've already returned, would the events of the past still be the same as before?
No one knows.
The 'me' that belongs to living beings is currently trying to buy time, but no one knows how much time it'll be able to buy.
— — I can't wait any longer.
Gu Qing Shan turned around and headed deeper into the island.
Soon enough, he arrived at a mountain forest and saw Feather leading his people to plant a large amount of crops on the slope of the mountain.
"Sir"
Feather walked up from the farm and greeted him.
"How's the situation with the crops?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Very good, enough for us to eat" Feather pointed at a nearby fruit forest: "We're currently trying to plant a few kinds of fruits, I've carefully selected them from the Sequence, eating them will grant you various powers"
"Fruits?"
"Yes, my Sequence can select ancient seeds from the past eras from within the Primal Chaos and plant them to help us obtain power"
"Very good, I can see that your population has also increased"
"Indeed, I think we'll need more manpower — — - in this unknown place, the more people we have to grow stronger, the stronger the island will be"
"That's right … we don't have the time to take things slowly in battle, give me your hand"
"Yes, sir"
The two of them clasped hands.
Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space in front of their eyes:
[Worlds Apocalypse Online – Lord of the Demons has initiated the 'Apocalypse Alliance', currently synchronizing with Worlds Apocalypse Online – Feather]
[Feather has accepted this connection]
[Feather and his people of the Apocalypse have received the blessings of the Demon Sequence, granting them the power of the Demon Faction]
After they finished reading, the glowing text retracted and disappeared from their eyes.
"Demon equipment, Thaumaturgies, clones, and summoning can all help your people become stronger — — - the stronger they are, the stronger you will be" Gu Qing Shan said.
"I've already distributed the power of this Echelon to everyone," Feather replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Back then, Feather turned into a card in order to protect his clansmen. Then, under his witness, Feather received the recognition of Chaos.
The Sequence she possessed had a special characteristic:
The stronger her clansmen were, the stronger she would be.
"Let's go, Feather."
"Sir, where are we going?"
Gu Qing Shan raised her hand.
A thin black thread floated up from his arm and shot into the endless void.
— — after being slapped by Crimson Shadow, he had obtained Crimson Shadow's Destiny Seed through the power of Earthen Virtue, and now it had finally manifested into the power of [Longing].
"Take control of this island and fly in my direction, we're going to fight" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Yes, my lord," Feather answered.
She closed her eyes and began to control the island.
Soon, the small island gradually came to a stop in the void.
The small island changed its direction and flew toward the endless fog, gradually accelerating.
…
Freedom Federation.
Capital.
An ear-piercing electronic voice resounded from the shuttle:
[Suspect discovered to be fleeing and attempting to resist law enforcement, determined to be extremely dangerous]
[Initiating defensive kill!]
Four flaming tongues shot out from the shuttle.
The figure on the ground instantly vanished.
He was so fast that before the shuttle could even react, he had already disappeared into an alleyway on the side of the road, making several turns before disappearing at the other end of the alleyway.
The people on the shuttle were clearly stunned.
The electronic voice abruptly became louder, carrying an unprecedented sense of nervousness:
[Attention! The target is a Professionist! I repeat, the target is a Professionist!]
[Immediately notify HQ, prepare — — -]
The voice abruptly stopped.
On the shuttle, a middle-aged man with a bulging belly grabbed the microphone and cursed: "HQ? What HQ? "
He took out his communicator, dialed a number, and gritted his teeth: "Young master Nie, the target is a Professionist, why didn't you tell me ahead of time?"
After a while, a surprised voice came from the other side: "He's a Professionist?"
"Yes, from his reaction and speed, he's definitely not a normal person. No one knows about this yet, and we haven't contacted Impartial Goddess yet — — - from now on, we have nothing to do with this"
Bam!
The middle-aged man hung up the communicator and threw it to a corner.
The communicator was instantly smashed into pieces.
Inside the shuttle, the subordinates were silent.
The middle-aged man breathed heavily, then asked: "This Gu Qing Shan, is he really a member of Chang Ning Steel Mech research department?"
"Yes, it's been confirmed" one of the subordinates answered.
The middle-aged man went silent.
Professionist.
Mech researcher.
Su family …
As big as Su family is, they definitely wouldn't ignore a Professionist.
In other words — — -
He's a member of Su family!
Damn it, damn it!!!
Originally I thought he was just a small pawn, but now the situation seems to have fallen into some sort of strange situation.
The middle-aged man thought for a bit, then spoke: "All of you go back, wipe away all traces, don't leave any traces behind, and also, all of you have to forget what happened tonight — — -"
He looked around at his subordinates, speaking in a low voice: "This has already become a matter between Su family and Nie family, if small people like us get involved, we'll die without even a speck of dust left, understood?"
"Understood, boss"
Everyone hurriedly answered. …
On the other side.
The casino.
"Young master Nie, there's no need to go that far" the sunglasses man with slicked-back hair said.
Behind him, a slim figure was hiding behind a chair, not even daring to show her head.
As for that young master Nie — — -
He didn't answer at all, only putting down the communicator with a gloomy expression.
"Young master, what's the matter?"
A bulky man next to him asked.
Nie Yun spoke in a low voice: "That brat is a Professionist …"
"Leave it to me, I'll bring a few people with me to personally take him — — -"
The bulky man made a throat-slitting gesture.
Nie Yun nodded and said: "Bring more people, it doesn't matter if it's a bit ugly, as long as he's dead, everything else can be fixed"
"Young master, the people of Jianghu call me Fierce Tiger, the number of Professionists I've dealt with over the years can't even be counted with two hands, when have I ever failed?" the bulky man smiled and replied.
That's true.
Fierce Tiger's reputation was earned by piling up human lives one after another.
Nie Yun's eyebrows loosened as his heart relaxed.
The sunglasses man with slicked-back hair suddenly smiled: "Young master Nie, what exactly is it, do you want me to stretch my bones a bit?"
"The game isn't over yet, how can you leave?" Nie Yun asked.
He thought for a bit, then suddenly said: "How about we play something big?"
"How?" the sunglasses man asked.
Nie Yun replied: "My subordinate will go kill someone, we'll bet on how many moves he'll need to kill him"
The sunglasses man hesitantly asked: "Who is the other party?"
"A poor student — — right, I bet he'll die within 10 moves" saying so, Nie Yun spoke into the communicator.
The sunglasses man smiled bitterly: "Your subordinate is a Martial Grandmaster, even if it's a normal Professionist, it wouldn't take more than a few moves, not to mention he'll bring people to kill him"
"Are you going to bet or not, if you don't I'm going to flip out, this is the Federation" Nie Yun said impatiently.
He emphasized the word "Federation".
"Fine" the sunglasses man took a deep breath, "then I can only bet that he won't be able to kill that poor brat within 10 moves"
"That's more like it, if you win, I'll let go of your red card" Nie Yun said with a prideful expression.
"What if I lose?"
Nie Yun replied: "100 million, plus your red card's corpse"
The sunglasses man's face twitched, about to refuse, but a voice came from behind: "Bet with him"
The sunglasses man lowered his voice: "What happens if I lose?"
The slender figure stopped trembling and whispered: "If I lose, I'll kill everyone in the Nie family, strip him clean and roast him for 3 days"
The sunglasses man felt a chill, knowing that she wasn't going to hold back.
He looked at the arrogant and despotic Nie Yun and sighed. "Alright, I'll take the bet."
Nie Yun clapped his fingers, smiled, and raised his glass: "Very well, then we'll just silently watch Xiong Hu hunt — — watching a Martial Grandmaster kill someone is also a form of enjoyment"
Knock knock knock!
Suddenly, a knock came from the door.
Without waiting for anyone to react, the door opened.
Gu Qing Shan walked straight in and greeted him with a smile: "Nie Yun! Old classmate, it's been so long, I've missed an opponent like you, so much — — ah, and you, what's your name again? A bear or a leopard? "
While saying so, he casually swung his Seeking Wind sword.
"I'm in a hurry, so I won't say anything else"
Sheathing his sword, he turned around and left.
Bam — —
The door closed.
Dead silence.
The sunglasses man was stunned for a while, then called out: "Your Highness …"
Behind him, a beautiful girl with long crimson hair slowly stood up.
The girl walked in front of Nie Yun and Xiong Hu, looking at the deep gash on their chests.
They were already dead.
Such a simple attack, but it killed two people in a single strike, one of which was even a Martial Grandmaster.
— — -they didn't even have time to dodge and died.
The girl's expression slowly turned serious.
"What perfect swordsmanship … I can't find a single flaw at all"
"— — Huo De, get the room's surveillance footage, I want to rewatch the battle just now"
"Yes"
Outside the casino.
Gu Qing Shan held back her emotions and sighed.
It's not time to meet Anna yet.
As for her old classmate — — -
According to the original timeline, I should've killed him later on.
In order to avoid too much deviation, he had to kill him first this time to ensure that this matter would not happen.
This will protect the Cause within Causality.
I need to ensure that all the key events on the timeline happen one by one.
That way, even if there's a deviation in the following events, it won't be too far off.
With this strategy, I might be able to salvage the timeline and return it to the right track.
— — -fortunately, the demons haven't arrived yet.
Gu Qing Shan jumped onto a nearby building and headed in a certain direction.
But what I'm doing now will also bring about another problem.
If I attract a more intense vengeance, with my current qi training stage 2 strength, I won't be able to deal with the strongest Ability users in this world.
Especially those who have God's Chosen Skills.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan understood why God's Chosen Skills are still so useful even in the 900 million World Layers.
Because they come from the Samsara.
— — -they are the power left behind by the Age of Desolation, scattered among living beings and reawakened under a certain chance.
Time slowly passed.
Gu Qing Shan arrived at a tall skyscraper of technology.
Skillfully swiping her card, she entered the skyscraper. Swiping her card again, she entered the underground building.
After going through a complicated identification process and changing into a set of work clothes, she received her work pass and entered the elevator to the 50th floor underground.
As the elevator door opened, a familiar electronic voice came out.
[Chang Ning Steel Mech R&D department welcomes you, serial number 41157]
Gu Qing Shan quickly walked inside.
In front of him were several 5-meter-tall Mechs.
