Fog.
The fog filled the void of space, the frigid wind blew without stopping, but it couldn't disperse.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the fog and asked: "The place you were talking about, is that it?"
The old pixie replied: 「 Yes, from now on, we can't go any further. You have to think of a way to get closer and see if you can find any clues 」
"Even I can't go?" Fei Ying asked.
The old pixie glanced at her and replied: 「 As soon as you get close, you will immediately turn to ash — — countless people in history have tried this, all of them were stronger than you, but they all ended up the same way 」
Fei Ying couldn't help but look deeper into the fog.
With her senses alone, she could sense that there was a gigantic corpse that was several thousand miles long floating in the void of space, completely motionless.
The Ruins Tomb.
This was another Ruins Tomb.
It was different from the corpse she saw in the Primal Chaos.
— — this corpse didn't give off any aura, as if it had fallen into some sort of deathly stillness, as if it had already lost consciousness countless years ago.
It no longer gave off any runes of destruction, nor did it have any mystical power lingering around it.
Everything returned to silence.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and asked: "This Ruins Tomb seems to be completely useless now … have you ever found any clues from this place?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"During the era of the Fire Era, the deepest secret we found was this place"
The old pixie's expression was full of anxiety, as if remembering something extremely terrifying.
It calmed down a little before continuing, "I'm not sure.
"During the most prosperous era of our era, several of the most talented Great Pixies once joined forces to perform a grand Yao technique to pry into the truth of the past in front of this Ruins Tomb, from which they saw a certain scene — —"
"What was it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The very first Apocalypse we saw crawled out from the mouth of this Ruins Tomb" the old pixie replied.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
He recalled the Ruins Tomb he saw before.
— — -the corpse's mouth was wide open, as if it was letting out a roar before its death, its body also maintained a cautious posture.
Its mouth was wide open, spewing out runes of destruction that spread into the fog.
In the primordial chaos, all of the profound destructive power came from the Tomb of the Ruins.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Ruined Tomb in front of her.
It no longer released the Mysterious Power of Destruction —
Could it be because the first Apocalypse was born that its power was exhausted?
The old fairy continued, "Seeking out this secret seems to have exceeded the limits of what we can endure. The moment those great fairies learned of this secret, they fell into eternal destruction. Meanwhile, Meaty and I are the final bearers of this secret."
"You survived" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Yes, we survived, but we were naturally unable to fight against such an Apocalypse. I had already foreseen the end of the Fire Era 」 the old pixie sorrowfully said.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the tomb again.
"Then, this time, I will go and investigate," he said.
"Be careful, retreat if you can't handle it," Crimson Shadow warned.
Gu Qing Shan nodded lightly and leapt forward.
As if it had a mind of its own, the fog parted in front of him and made a path for him.
Gu Qing Shan flew along the path and finally landed in front of the giant corpse.
He silently observed the corpse.
The corpse didn't move at all, it didn't give off any presence or power, as if it didn't even exist.
Gu Qing Shan drew the Delimitation sword in her hand and said: "Let us look at the moment of the birth of the Apocalypse countless years ago"
「 Got it 」 the Delimitation sword replied.
The sword vibrated, giving off a resounding 'wu wu' sound.
— — Delimitation Thaumaturgy, [Reflection]!
[Reflection: See everything that happened here in the past, see everything that is hidden in the void of space]
Following the sword's' wu wu 'sound, the fog around them slowly became blurry, as if time itself was being reversed, revealing images of a certain moment in time.
The images became clearer and clearer until they all converged in front of Gu Qing Shan — — -
Something unexpected happened!
The giant corpse abruptly turned around, staring straight at Gu Qing Shan with a pair of eyes filled with black fog and roared: 「 You shouldn't have looked into the secret of the past! 」
It was so fast that it swallowed Gu Qing Shan whole in a single gulp.
「 Hoh — — hoh — — hoh — — that secret, no entity can know! 」
The giant corpse breathed heavily, roared loudly, then suddenly trembled.
Its body froze in the void of space, then slowly turned into fine dust that drifted away with the wind.
The dust scattered.
Gu Qing Shan appeared again.
He stood where he was, holding a pile of ashes that looked like fine sand in his hand.
"That scared me just now" the Boundary Delimitation Scripture muttered.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "No need to be afraid, that was its final instinctive reaction. In truth, it had already used up all of its power, if it tried to move, its body would collapse and fall into eternal destruction, never to exist again"
He tossed the dust in his hand forward.
As the dust scattered in the wind, it quickly fused with the fog and became a part of it.
Gu Qing Shan went silent and couldn't help but stare at the fog.
— — could it be that the fog that covered the entire Primal Chaos was actually the dust of the Eternal Destroyers?
This thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't have the time to think about it any further.
"Boundary Delimitation, let us continue" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Got it!"
The sword trembled.
The blurred images once again manifested and converged to form a scene of the past.
The corpse that stretched for several thousand miles from before had once again appeared.
Its body was covered by a black scale armor, and countless natural spell symbols were floating on its body surface, releasing an endless destructive power in the light and shadow screen.
This corpse silently stood in the void of space, having lived through an unknown amount of time. Until now — — -
It slowly opened its mouth.
A black figure crawled out from its mouth.
This figure had no facial features, countless runes of destruction manifested to form its body, barely managing to form the shape of a human.
The figure climbed up the corpse's mouth until it reached the top of the corpse's head, then looked around.
It saw the void of space, as well as the endless fog.
A while later.
The figure spoke: "The Quest is … destruction …"
As soon as it said that, the figure seemed to have confirmed something, lightly leapt up from the corpse's head and flew towards the endless fog.
Almost instantly, the figure had already gone far away.
"We're following him!" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Got it!" the Delimitation sword replied.
He leapt forward, turning into a flash of sword phantom that chased after the figure.
The figure was moving faster and faster.
If it was in the past, Gu Qing Shan would have already lost him, but now that his [Lonesome Swan Flying Immortal] technique had almost fully mastered, he was able to fly through the void of space while maintaining the [Reflection] Thaumaturgy, so he wasn't left behind.
One after another, they left the chaotic world of nothingness, entered the boundless space vortex, and headed in a certain direction.
After flying like this for around 12-14 hours, the figure finally stopped.
"It's here …"
The figure muttered.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Delimitation sword and pointed it in front of the figure.
The power of [Reflection] spread to reveal the scenery of the past era in front of him.
In front of the figure was a vast expanse of land.
On that land, civilization had flourished to its peak, each person exuded a powerful presence.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan slowly understood.
Right, the first Apocalypse destroyed the Earth Era, perhaps this was the scene of the Era's destruction.
While he was thinking, the figure raised his hand and spoke:
"I carry the power of destruction, today I shall thoroughly destroy all of you, allowing everything to continue according to the law"
From the void of space, a cold voice resounded:
"Order received, the Apocalypse is about to be born"
"Destruction begins — –"
Instantly, countless long black pipes manifested from the void of space.
These pipes were densely packed, covering the entire void of space.
All of a sudden.
From the world below, a stern female voice resounded:
"Stop!"
Following that, a woman leapt into the void of space and appeared in front of the figure in the blink of an eye.
"Who are you?" the woman cautiously asked.
The figure froze.
"I … am …" he muttered in confusion.
"If you want to deal with our Era, you must have some sort of background, tell me your name!" the woman tried probing him.
Seeing this woman's familiar face, Gu Qing Shan's mind was already in turmoil.
At this moment, countless riddles were finally answered.
But this answer was so inconceivable that Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but think for a few moments before he understood.
He sighed with a complicated expression.
The figure slowly lowered his hand and lowered his head: "Who … am I? My background … "
Behind him, the endless black pipes began to surge violently.
Figures spat out from the black pipes one by one, gathered in front of the figure, respectfully knelt down on one knee, surrounding the first figure.
"I don't know who I am either, but my mission is to destroy your era — –"
The figure seemed to have realized something and lightly tapped one of the black pipes.
The pipe then spat out a figure that looked exactly the same as him.
"I can create various manifestations of destruction and grant them sentience … I can even use my own body to replicate the same manifestation of destruction as myself …"
The figure pondered for a moment before he continued speaking.
"My mission is to destroy all of you, so …"
"You may call me the destroyer of all things and living beings, the unheard-of secret Apocalypse"
"After I send all of you into eternal destruction, perhaps I will be able to unravel my own secret …"
