The cave disappeared.
The man lightly jumped up and landed on the wooden plank.
He had a broad and burly figure, a short beard on his chin, and a pair of bright eyes.
"Father …" Gu Qing Shan called out.
"Ah, it's been a long time, child" the man grinned.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Back then, why did you and mother — —"
The man waved his hand and cut her off: "I know what you want to ask, but it's a long story, even the historian by your side couldn't record everything"
Gu Qing Shan looked back at Smoke.
Smoke shrugged: "Don't listen to him, I've always been a professional when it comes to recording"
Gu Qing Shan pulled his gaze back and looked at his father.
Father Gu coldly snorted: "Is that really the case? But why do I feel like you're running out of energy? "
Smoke explained: "Because Gu Qing Shan experienced too many things, I can't record them all, so I can only pick the important ones — — and history itself is too complicated, I don't have the time and energy to record everything about so many people around him"
Father Gu continued: "My experiences are 100,000 times more than Gu Qing Shan's, and they're even more magnificent, breathtaking, mysterious and magnificent, unimaginable to mortals, and impossible to record — — I'm sure you understand now"
Smoke was stunned.
Father Gu looked at him and scoffed: "In short, even if I gave you 1 billion years, you still wouldn't be able to finish writing about me"
"You're looking down on me" Smoke said.
"That's the truth" Father Gu replied.
"Is that so — —"
Smoke expressionlessly took out a pen and started writing on a piece of white paper.
One breath later.
He put the pen away and said in relief: "Look, I've finished … recording about you …"
Saying so, he showed the piece of paper to the two of them.
The two of them took a closer look, only to see three lines of text on the paper:
[Character: Father Gu]
[Gender: Male, Likes: Female]
[Past Experiences: Omitted]
Father Gu grabbed the paper and tore it to shreds, angrily shouting: "— — Finished my ass!"
Smoke was confused: "What are you — —"
"Bastard! Is the word 'brief' your attitude as a recorder of history? Don't you think it's unnecessary to write that gender preference? "Father Gu tapped Fireworks's head with his finger.
"Intuition! That's a kind of intuition you gave me! "Smoke covered his head.
He continued, "Please don't mind me. I've been recording everything about Gu Qing Shan. I really don't have the energy to record your great achievements. Of course, you must be an extremely powerful person."
"How about you write about me in your next book?" Father Gu said proudly.
Smoke said seriously, "I'm sorry, but I have a thing for appearances. I will never record a vulgar and narcissistic uncle."
"Bastard!"
A figure was flung away from the wooden plank.
Crash —
A small wave appeared on the surface of the sea.
Gu Qing Shan gently leaped and landed on the surface of the sea, lifting the fireworks out of the water.
"Father, forget it. He's just a recorder."
He tried to smooth things over.
"Humph," Mr. Gu said angrily.
…
On the Blood Sea.
The wooden plank was floating.
Father Gu, Gu Qing Shan, and Smoke were sitting on the wooden plank, talking.
"Where should I start —" Father Gu frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't come up with anything useful.
Smoke said: "Identity. Why don't you tell me who you are first? That way, I can better record it down"
"Alright, I'll tell you who I am first. I'm Time," Father Gu said.
All was quiet.
Smoke's pen stopped.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her father in shock.
"You heard me right, I'm Time," Father Gu rubbed his hands.
"Wait a minute, why would Time be — — a middle-aged man like you?" Smoke couldn't help but ask.
"My son is Apocalypse and Destruction, why can't I be Time?" Father Gu casually said.
"But — — you're a sentient lifeform — —"
Firework couldn't say anything else.
He suddenly remembered that Gu Qing Shan was also a lifeform.
"Living beings are insignificant, but they also have their own uniqueness. For example, the sequence of destruction was born from living beings" Father Gu said emotionally.
"How do they achieve this?" Smoke asked.
"If an animal needs something, it knows how much and how much it needs, but humans don't. Humans' desires are endless, in other words, their thoughts are endless"
"Not to mention other miraculous living beings, like the Divinities. They were born from the Laws and Elements, the supplicants that we look down upon, their desires are sometimes hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than humans"
"All of these thoughts and desires not only control their bodies to create countless Causalities, but also form a great power within the void and the Dharma Realm that even I have no choice but to face — —"
"And that was the birth of [Worlds Apocalypse Online]"
Saying so, Father Gu turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan was the power of destruction gathered by all living beings in the infinite worlds.
To defeat the demons and save everything, living beings exerted power beyond imagination.
This power of destruction was released by Xie Dao Ling's hand, then formed into a sequence. Which was — —
[Worlds Apocalypse Online].
And then.
Gu Qing Shan was born from Primal Chaos, gained her own consciousness, and became a living being.
— — if Gu Qing Shan was able to do this, why couldn't her father be the same?
Everything made sense.
At this point.
Gu Qing Shan spoke up: "So you're Time, no wonder I always have Time-type entities by my side to help me"
"I didn't actually do anything, but you're still my child, so those Time-type living beings would instinctively help you — — of course, helping you is the same as helping themselves" Father Gu took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs.
"What about a closed loop? Splitting the timeline in two isn't actually normal, is it? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course — — the War God UI's Time Travel ability allows me to split time into a circle similar to a coin without destroying other events in the timeline, this is my true power" Father Gu replied.
Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice: "So that's how it is, but … father, you're actually Time …"
Father Gu held the cigarette in his mouth: "Are you still confused about this?"
"A bit" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What's there to be confused about? You should know that living beings are the foundation of everything, with their tiny and subtle existences, time would naturally be born"
"Why is that?"
"Because time is one of the most important elements to measure them, as well as one of their rulers"
"That's why when living beings were born, you appeared?"
"Correct"
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
So that's how it is.
No wonder father said those things to the Recorder of History just now.
— — even the Recorder of History couldn't completely record everything that happened in time.
"Father … will you always rule over living beings?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Father Gu replied: "That's a very good question"
He flicked the cigarette into the sea, calmed his expression, and continued:
"Under normal circumstances, I am one of the rulers of living beings, endlessly powerful — — but if all living beings in the infinite worlds were to be destroyed, I would also perish — — because without living beings, the element of Time would have no reason to exist — — I would be easily killed by my enemies"
"Enemies?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Elements that are completely unrelated to living beings — — among them, there are some particularly evil and unimaginable entities" Father Gu replied.
His eyes met with Gu Qing Shan's.
Father Gu nodded heavily, as if there were some things that couldn't be expressed in words.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then also nodded.
Enemies of Time …
What kind of existence would that be?
He silently thought, but didn't say anything.
But it seems that he and his father had reached a consensus.
Father and son had unknowingly formed a tacit understanding and confirmed the same thing.
"Right, where's mother? Who is she? "Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"She is a Mystery — — in truth, she has nothing to do with living beings, she isn't affected by any of them, nor does she care to dictate the fate of living beings. But she fell in love with me, and Time has always been a source of joy for Mysteries … and then we had you — — - this is something I need to tell you clearly"
Father Gu once again spoke with a serious expression: "Qing Shan, although you come from the desire and power of living beings, you are actually the child of me and your mother — — even Xie Dao Ling was chosen by history to be the messenger who brought you to the human realm"
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened, a bit absent-minded.
He is Destruction.
Destruction is the child of Time and Mystery.
But why … Destruction?
Right.
Enemy — — -
While he was thinking, his father had already stood up.
"Qing Shan, I'm here to take you away" father Gu said.
"Wait a minute — — where are you taking him? Purgatory? The void? The Sacred Realm? Or the real world? "Smoke couldn't help but interject.
"Neither" father Gu curtly replied.
"Who exactly is your enemy?" Smoke asked.
"I can't say" Gu Qing Shan suddenly cut in.
Father Gu nodded, then glanced at Smoke: "Heh heh, brat, did you hear that? This is the biggest secret right now, do you really think I'll tell you? Right, aren't you the Keeper of History? Why don't you go see for yourself? "
Gu Qing Shan patted Smoke's shoulder: "Don't mind it, anything that can't be said is a secret. Secrets represent disaster and the future, so I can't say it out loud, otherwise a lot of things would be messed up, and my plan would have to stop"
Smoke froze.
With his brain, he still couldn't understand the true meaning of those words.
But father Gu already understood.
"Qing Shan, do you want to stay here?" he asked.
"There are still a few things that I haven't finished" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"You should know, you originally couldn't leave this place, only I have the power to take you away, but I can't just come back here again — — - if you don't leave now, you'll have to wait here for 10,000 years" father Gu solemnly told her.
Without saying a word, Gu Qing Shan reached out his hand and grabbed something from the void of space.
A spear glowing with a crimson light appeared in his hand.
The [Crimson Demon Divine Spear].
Father Gu stared at the spear.
The expression on his face slowly changed, then finally sighed:
"That's right, Gods are a type of living beings, although they're also insignificant and insignificant, they can also create weapons that far surpass their own, this is a characteristic of living beings …"
Sighing, he patted Gu Qing Shan's shoulder and said:
"Child, we'll meet again later"
"Take care, father, as soon as I'm done here, I'll come find you"
"Hm"
"… Right, where's mother?"
"Ahahaha, she's doing some boring things, you'll find out later"
Saying so, father Gu took a few steps back.
A huge cave appeared in the void of space behind him, revealing a deep, dark passage, as well as various chaotic noises.
A gust of wind blew from the cave.
— — -mixed with the aura of the past.
"I'm proud of you, Qing Shan"
Saying so, he turned around and disappeared into the boundless sea of blood together with the cave.
