Deep underground.
Gu Qing Shan took out the Hand of Destruction and stabbed it into the ground next to her.
「 Do you want to kill those spirits of Chaos, or continue deeper into the 'Unimaginable Era'? 」 the Hand of Destruction asked.
"No, I've been fighting for too long, I'm a bit tired" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 So you're going to rest for a bit? 」 the Hand of Destruction asked.
"I've also learned a few things from my cultivation, so I need to organize them for a bit" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 — – leave it to me 」
The Hand of Destruction gestured for her to be fine, then pointed around in a circle.
The narrow secret passage quickly widened and turned into a magnificent palace.
Rows of guards manifested from the power of darkness appeared to guard the palace.
"What a grand formation" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
「 Of course, on the Dark Continent, you are the King 」 the Hand of Destruction replied.
Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded, closed his eyes, and fell into thought.
The Delimitation sword hovered behind him, silently waiting for him to wake up again.
Everything became silent.
…
The palace and the guards had all disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes, stood up, and looked around.
Strange spires were erected on the ground one after another, and each of the spires was engraved with densely packed runes.
Taking a closer look, the runes were constantly moving, changing, and reconstructing themselves.
The runes seemed to have a life of their own, granting the spires various unique powers.
Gu Qing Shan observed for a few moments, then asked: "What kind of spell is this?"
"— – it's the Dream of Time"
A voice came from behind him.
Gu Qing Shan turned around, only to see the girl standing not too far away.
"Xie Shuang Yan … are you the real Mother of Time?" he asked.
"That's right" the girl nodded.
"You've been avoiding me for so long, so why did you come to see me now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The Apostle of the Saint Pillar of Fire has awakened — — and he's already acting" Xie Shuang Yan replied.
"Who's the Apostle of Fire?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Your senior brother," Xie Shuangyan said.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and smiled, "My Senior Martial Brother, no wonder …"
Xie Shuang Yan said: "You became the King of Eternal Destruction, constantly collecting the power of eternal destruction within the primal chaos. I came here to ask you to use your power to awaken me. This way, I can do even more things."
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "I [Entropy] solved the previous King of Eternal Destruction, then [Entropy] solved the Apostle of this Era, as well as the Apocalypse sequence: [Great Flood]. Following this, I will obtain even more power until I gather all of the power of Eternal Destruction — — but I've decided not to awaken your power for now"
Xie Shuang Yan was startled and asked: "Why? You should know that I'm on your side. If you can awaken my power, the original world will become very different. "
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer. She pointed at the spires in the distance and asked, "What are those?"
"The era I represent, it used to be extremely glorious, but eventually fell into primal chaos, leaving only a tiny bit of power behind" Xie Shuang Yan replied.
"If the era behind you is so powerful … then what exactly destroyed it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"— — -it was a terrifying Apocalypse that you have never seen before. Its power was stronger than any other sequence within the primal chaos" Xie Shuang Yan replied.
She waved her hand.
The clouds in the sky scattered as an indiscernible whisper came from deep within the sky.
Following this whisper, the spires began to break apart one by one.
The runes on the surface of the spires flickered and disappeared, finally falling into nothingness.
Countless souls flew out from the spires and struggled with all their might. However, they were blown away by the wind like bubbles floating in the wind, bursting one after another.
"This was an unstoppable Apocalypse — — were you all directly destroyed?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Our era fought against it for over 300 years, only to run out of power at the very moment of victory and be replaced by another era" Xie Shuang Yan replied.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Are all Eras destroyed like this?"
"That is not the case. Eras usually face off against one another, the winner takes everything, while the loser falls into primal slumber" Xie Shuang Yan replied.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything.
He looked up, as if falling into thought for a long time.
After a while, she asked: "If there is anything else you want to ask, I can tell you a bit more"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "How many Eras were like you, attacked by the Apocalypse, dragged down by it, and had no choice but to fall into primal chaos?"
"Four" Xie Shuang Yan replied.
"The Four Saint Pillars?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, during our era, we were the strongest Eras, no other Eras could come" Xie Shuang Yan replied.
"That's why the Apocalypse appeared" Gu Qing Shan continued.
"What are you trying to say?" Xie Shuang Yan's eyes flickered.
"It's nothing, I can only apologize to you that I can't awaken your power for now" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well — — the things you've done have proven your talent, borrowing the power of the Eras to come here was unnecessary" Xie Shuang Yan said.
"No, it was worth it for you to come here, please help me bring a message to the other me" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What is it?" Xie Shuang Yan asked.
"No matter what, do not break the Two World Stone" Gu Qing Shan said.
"The Two World Stone … if it breaks, the other you will disappear, merge with this era, and become the same person as you" Xie Shuang Yan said.
"Indeed" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
"Are you telling him not to come back?"
"Help me bring this message to him, he will understand everything"
"Got it" Xie Shuang Yan replied.
She took a few steps back, about to leave.
Everything gradually dimmed.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly called out: "Wait a minute"
"Is there something else?" Xie Shuang Yan asked.
"If you come into contact with the other me, there's a high chance that information will be leaked, and as the Eras' Apostle, it would be very dangerous for you to face such a situation without any power" Gu Qing Shan said.
Xie Shuang Yan silently looked at him.
He reached behind him and grabbed a certain blue war flag, softly chanting, "With a thousandth of my power of Eternal Destruction, I summon the will of Chaos and release some of your shackles, freeing you from the disgust of all the Laws and awakening you from your endless slumber."
"— — -awaken!"
Following his voice, a strange fluctuation slowly appeared on Xie Shuang Yan's body.
"You originally didn't intend to awaken my power" she said.
"Indeed, I left the majority of my power behind, only using a bit of Eternal Destruction power to awaken the lowest level of power for you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"For my safety?" Xie Shuang Yan asked.
"Indeed, you were my messenger — — from this moment onwards, you are my comrade-in-arms, I have to contribute a bit to your safety outside of the plan" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Xie Shuang Yan smiled and replied: "You're truly too cautious … but if this is the only way to win against the evil demons … then I'll be relieved"
Her figure slowly faded away.
Everything returned to nothingness.
Gu Qing Shan opened her eyes, only to see that she was still sitting inside the palace, the Delimitation sword and Hand of Destruction were standing guard on her left and right.
「 Have you rested enough? 」 the Delimitation sword asked.
"Soon"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up, drew another flag from her back, and shouted in a low voice:
"With all my Eternal Destruction power, summon the will of Primal Chaos to release your shackles, allowing you to escape the rejection of all Laws and obtain greater power from your endless slumber!"
Oom — — -
The flag abruptly erupted in a blinding red flame.
A line of glowing text quickly appeared:
[You have used all of your power to communicate with Primal Chaos, awakening the Apostle of the 'Unimaginable Era', he shall awaken the corresponding miraculous power!]
Gu Qing Shan stared at it for a bit, then let go of the flag, allowing it to return to her back and slowly fade away.
The Delimitation sword was surprised and asked: 「 You gave them all to the Saint Pillar of Fire? Then what about the others? 」
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Yes"
He raised the Hand of Destruction.
The palace and guards around them all disappeared. A secret passage silently appeared.
「 Miracles … do you only rely on miracles right now and don't care about the power of the other three Saint Pillars? 」 the Delimitation sword asked.
"[Boundary Delimitation], this is a match of life and death for all Eras, we don't need to follow the usual routine — — -"
He thought for a bit, then continued: "The evil demons also wouldn't follow the usual routine"
As soon as he finished speaking, he sped along the secret passage.
…
At another location.
A closed loop of time.
The cultivation world. A certain ocean region.
The void of space shifted.
A cultivator lightly landed on the surface of the ocean.
"Young master Qi … died in this world?" the cultivator muttered.
He placed his hand on the surface of the ocean and quickly chanted:
"By the power of the infinite worlds' Apocalypse, I summon the future Lord of the Era, grant me power, and join me in my crusade against this sinful world"
Boom — —
The ocean was instantly pierced through, followed by a gigantic, irrecoverable crater.
A black statue appeared at the bottom of the crater.
The cultivator flew down, knelt in front of the statue, and bowed: "Master of the Echelon, this is that world, please issue your decree on what to do next"
The black statue silently sensed for a few moments, then spoke:
「 Gu Qing Shan definitely wouldn't expect us to directly attack — — in truth, we've never cared about the rules of war 」
「 Then … let us begin 」
「 Destroy this world! 」
