All the light scattered in the wind, then converged again like a storm, turning into a new scene — — -
The earth.
Numerous black churches stood tall on the plains.
Everyone was chanting a hymn.
Divine light radiated from deep within the Church, illuminating the entire world and protecting all living beings.
— — -this was a civilization of faith.
Everyone firmly believed in the God in their hearts.
The God created the world and protected everything.
Whenever a civilization fell into trouble, as long as they wholeheartedly prayed and resonated with their God, they would obtain immense power and triumph over all calamities.
Gu Qing Shan silently watched this civilization's birth, development, and prosperity — — -
Until one day.
The civilization reached its peak.
Under the guidance of God, the Church's gaze began to look beyond the world.
The World Barrier was discovered.
The Church listened to the God's teachings, focused all of their efforts on how to break through the barrier, while simultaneously preparing for war.
And then.
This civilization welcomed its demise.
Under the corrosion of [Worlds Apocalypse Online – Destruction], everything was destroyed.
The civilization was completely wiped out.
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change at all and simply swung her sword again.
Thaumaturgy, [Reflection]!
As the light faded, so did the civilization of religion.
Time continued to flow backwards.
When the light once again converged, the earth no longer existed, only gigantic creatures living in the void of space.
These were all monsters that lived in the void, each of them possessing indescribable power.
They were born in the darkness of nothingness, grew, fought and devoured each other, finally turning into the most powerful of monsters — — -
"Does this count as a Creator?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[With its strength … it could easily create a world and give birth to life, I think it must be a Creator] the Delimitation sword replied.
Within the light, the monster's body was as large as a thousand mountains, manifesting eight faces, 16 arms, and a hundred eyes, looking extremely ferocious.
However, it was surrounded by layers of divine light, and it actually gave off a sense of majesty and mystery.
This is a Creator level monster!
— — -it could even be said that it had surpassed the normal Creator level, as such a perfect entity with divinity had never been born in the billions of worlds.
After devouring all of its enemies, the monster pondered in the void of space.
Time slowly passed.
It suddenly looked towards a certain direction.
In the direction it was looking at — — -
At the place where the broken stone steps were, the World Barrier materialized and appeared.
The monster was moving towards the World Barrier.
"Do you think it will die?" the Delimitation sword asked with interest.
"Of course, after that, religion, spirituality, and technology were born, but weren't they all destroyed in the end?" Gu Qing Shan said in distress.
Everything was wrong, but he had yet to find the crux of the matter!
The gigantic monster stretched out its hand and lightly pressed it against the barrier, about to shatter it.
Suddenly, the monster's hand stopped.
It froze on the spot for a long time, as if it had realized something.
"What's going on? Why isn't it moving? "the Delimitation sword whispered.
Gu Qing Shan was startled, then her expression changed.
The Creator.
The Creators were born with premonitions, and they could see some of the future situations in the endless illusions.
The Earth Creator was able to do this, so he could return to the past without any worries.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said: "Having reached the level of a Creator, they can communicate with all civilizations and peer into the future through the fog — — - it must have foreseen its end!"
"Then it definitely wouldn't have broken the World Barrier" the Delimitation sword said.
"But if it didn't die, how could the civilizations that came after it be born? That's why it still died in the end "Gu Qing Shan said.
Both of them didn't say anything else and stared closely at the monster.
Time slowly passed.
After a few dozen breaths' worth of time, the Creator-level monster let out a long and resounding cry of sorrow.
Its sorrowful cries resounded throughout the empty and desolate void.
"How pitiful …" the Delimitation sword sighed.
"If it had foreseen its end, what exactly would it be doing right now?" Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Suddenly — —
The monster abruptly turned to Gu Qing Shan.
The several hundred eyes on its head gave off a blinding light that seemed to be able to see through the endless flow of time and focused on Gu Qing Shan.
"It saw you?" the Delimitation sword was surprised.
Another sword appeared from the void of space, blocking in front of Gu Qing Shan and Shannu's voice: "Gongzi, be careful"
"It's fine, although it can see the future, it can't do anything" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He stared at the monster from afar through the endless flow of time and space.
Staring at the past from the future.
This was a wondrous feeling.
Gu Qing Shan seemed to be able to sense the sorrow in the other party's heart.
A split second later.
The monster stared closely at Gu Qing Shan and spoke: 「 Loneliness is nothing, being trapped here … is also nothing 」
「 But if … 」
「 This is nothing but an illusion … 」
Its resounding voice resounded in the dark void for a long time, but didn't resound again.
As Gu Qing Shan looked at the hundreds of sorrowful eyes, she slowly understood.
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat and shouted: "Don't touch the world barrier, you'll be completely destroyed if you do!"
— — this Creator level monster didn't want to live any longer.
The monster hesitated for a few moments, then reached its arm out, placed it on the world barrier, and swung forward with all its might.
「 Let me return to nothingness, this is where my dignity as a Creator lies! 」
It roared in fury.
The world barrier shattered with that sound.
Grey fog manifested.
The destructive grey fog continued to spread.
The monster didn't resist at all, allowing the endless grey fog to envelop its body.
Its several hundred eyes that were glowing with divine light slowly dimmed, but it still stared straight at Gu Qing Shan.
「 Revenge … 」
The monster suddenly spat out two words.
"What? What do you mean? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Revenge for me, for all living beings that once existed! 」 the monster struggled to speak.
"What kind of revenge is it? Who is the enemy? "Gu Qing Shan shouted.
As soon as she said so, the grey fog had already engulfed the monster.
At the very next moment.
The monster turned into nothingness. It no longer existed.
Gu Qing Shan swung her sword again and shouted: "This isn't right! Boundary, let's do it again! "
The sword let out a resounding noise.
[Reflection], rise again!
All the images scattered, disappeared into nothingness, then manifested again.
A scene appeared.
— — -darkness.
Other than darkness, there was nothing else.
As if this place had only been darkness since countless years ago.
「 There doesn't seem to be anything at all in the past 」 the Delimitation sword commented.
From the darkness, a Creator was born.
Followed by three civilizations that fell one after another.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
The Delimitation sword lightly shook and retracted [Reflection]. The world returned to normal.
A barren land.
Only Gu Qing Shan stood with her sword in hand.
He fell into thought for a long time.
The two swords didn't dare to disturb him and remained silent.
A whole 15 minutes later.
Gu Qing Shan finally spoke up: "If I didn't see the Creator, I might have thought of something else, but since it said those words to me before it died — — -"
The sword was raised again.
A strange fluctuation spread out from the longsword, turning into a series of afterimages, appearing as light, and then condensing into a picture.
「 You want to look at the past again? 」 the Delimitation sword asked.
"I want to investigate what exactly it meant by 'fabrications'" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Then, which era do you want to look at?" Boundary asked.
"Religion" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Gongzi, don't you specialize in Technological worlds? Why don't you start from the Technological side? "Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "It's because I understand the theories and technology of science that I want to look for religion"
「 Then you must be wrong, the existence of religion must be due to the birth of a Deity 」 the Delimitation sword replied.
"Alright, let us look at the Deity" Gu Qing Shan said.
Oom — — -
Images began to appear, turning into the origin era of religion, quickly flashing in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
Gu Qing Shan focused her gaze on the image. After a few moments, she suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
The image stopped.
The image showed the scene of a few knights getting lost in the forest.
They were hungry and thirsty, already at the brink of death.
A man wearing a crown put down his axe and shouted in despair: "O God, please help us, I am willing to offer my eternal reverence"
A shadow emerged from the depths of the forest.
It was a buck.
It gracefully walked in front of the knights and lowered its head.
On its long horns, there were many fruits that emitted a faint divine light.
The knights were shocked.
The buck shook a bit as all the fruits fell to the ground.
Ignoring the knights' reactions, it turned around and ran back the way it came.
"We're following it" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Got it 」 the Delimitation sword replied.
The image followed the buck, heading in the direction it went.
After running for a few dozen miles, the buck turned into a winged angel.
The angel landed in front of a majestic city and said to a graceful and luxurious-looking woman, "You're here.
「 Your prayers have been fulfilled, and the child you gave birth to shall carry out the holy deeds of the earth, saving living beings and guiding them on the path to Divine Kingdom 」
"As you wish" the woman knelt down and replied.
The angel nodded and soared into the sky, flying deep into the sky.
"Follow the angel" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Got it! 」 the Delimitation sword replied.
The image continued to follow the angel, passing through layers of clouds until it reached the sea of clouds.
The angel stopped in mid-air, then disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
The Delimitation sword: "…"
Gu Qing Shan: "Follow it!"
The Delimitation sword: "Can't you see? It disappeared "
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "It wasn't some sort of spell, but it really disappeared?"
"Indeed!" the Delimitation sword replied.
"Then where's the Deity?"
"If there was a Deity, then he should be here right now to give the angel a new mission"
"There's no Deity — — there's nothing here"
"That's why I don't understand what's going on either"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit excited and said: "… Delimitation, fast-forward the image, we're going to see a certain day before the destruction of our civilization"
"Which historical moment do you want to see?" the Delimitation sword asked.
"This civilization has decided to explore beyond the world barrier — — to that moment!"
"Got it!"
The images quickly flickered and stopped at that historical moment.
The Pope knelt on the platform, sincerely praying.
"O God, we have followed your will and completed the research of Spatial techniques, where should humanity's destiny go from now on?"
Lines of Divine Script appeared in front of him:
"My children, you should explore more worlds, spreading the faith of God in new worlds"
"As you wish" the Pope bowed deeply.
"— — Stop!" Gu Qing Shan shouted.
The images stopped.
"What is it?" the Delimitation sword asked.
"Let's see if there's anything wrong with this world at this moment, like the descent of an angel or something" Gu Qing Shan said.
Countless images flashed by.
A few moments later.
The Delimitation sword replied: "There is nothing — — - at this moment, other than the miracle in front of the Pope, there are no abnormalities, nor any Deity"
"Finally found the flaw" Gu Qing Shan's gaze became solemn as she muttered: "My Grandmaster saw these trapped civilizations, but the Creator said that it was all an illusion — — - seems like I'll have to think of a way to find the source of this Divine Skill …"
"This is only a fragment of images from the past, and your expertise lies in combat, so you can't use images to find anything" the Delimitation sword replied.
"That's right … I don't have this ability … but perhaps someone else does"
"Who?"
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer and instead drew the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
The sword let out a resounding noise.
In a split second, some sort of power flowed through the sword into Gu Qing Shan's body.
Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:
[You've unleashed this sword's Thaumaturgy: 'Wind Smoke']
[Wind Smoke: By unleashing this Thaumaturgy, you will temporarily obtain one of the supernatural powers of the four Apostles of the past]
[The Apostles of the past are with you]
