Gu Qing Shan looked down at the pendant in front of his chest.
— — the pendant he was wearing right now was Anna's Death Relic.
After entering the Divine Ice Mountain, this pendant was perfectly fine.
Other than this pendant, there was nothing else around my neck.
Unusable artifacts …
Gu Qing Shan looked down at himself.
Hm, clothes aren't artifacts.
The divinity of the Old Gods is probably to guard against the weapons of living beings, or perhaps it's to look down on the tools that living beings make?
Fortunately, no matter where I go to Huang Quan or anywhere else, because I'm carrying the lives of the entire Bai Hua sect with me, I usually keep my storage items and the 7-colored fragrance bag inside my Thought Sea and don't easily take them out.
Otherwise, all of my storage items would've been turned to ash.
But now, the items that Lola took out were also destroyed by the divinity.
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly and regretfully said: "I told you not to take them out"
Laura pursed her lips into a smile and said nothing.
Lines of glowing text suddenly appeared on the War God UI.
“？？？？？”
“？？？？？ I'm sensing and considering everything about you to decide how to manifest your armor. "
[This is an ancient artifact that was lost in the Unending Abyss of broken worlds, a place that almost no living being can reach — — aside from a very small number of Bramble Birds]
[Where is it????? Before it fully manifests, the System will not be able to obtain information about it, please patiently wait for it to manifest]
Gu Qing Shan stared at the War God UI, silently surprised.
"What kind of place is the Unending Abyss of broken worlds?" he asked.
[Ting]!
The War God UI responded: [The Unending Abyss of broken worlds is located at the deepest part of the Mystic Zones, basically the innermost layer of the 900 million World Layers]
Gu Qing Shan asked again: "Other than the Bramble Birds, are there really no living beings that can reach there?"
[In fact, most of the Bramble Birds would immediately die upon entering, only a very small number of royal bloodline can reach the Unending Abyss of broken worlds]
Is the Mystic Zones really that dangerous?
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but shake her head, thinking that it was no wonder everyone wanted to receive something from the Mystic Zones from the call of the Bramble Birds.
Even Bali and Meow were hoping to repay their debt with items from the Mystic Zones.
Meow once said that other creatures couldn't stay in the Mystic Zones for long.
If that was the case, then the Chaotic Abyss of this world fragment was even more out of the question.
"Lola, how did you get this thing?" Gu Qing Shan asked directly.
"Eh? You've already sensed it? It's faster than I thought. "
Lola continued, "This set came from a particularly scary place. No one has ever dared to go there. Back then, to prove that I was already an adult, I went there once."
"Don't go to that kind of place again, it's too dangerous." Gu Qing Shan said decisively.
A place that no one can reach, where even creatures from the Mystic Zones like the Bramble Birds would die right away — — - it's best for Lola to never go there again.
Seeing his worried expression, Lola couldn't help but smirk.
"It's fine, if I don't go to that kind of place, no one else would be able to"
"Why not?"
"Because of this"
Saying so, Lola suddenly disappeared from Gu Qing Shan's shoulder.
Gu Qing Shan only felt his shoulder lighten, then he couldn't sense Lola anymore.
He habitually released his inner sight to search around, but couldn't find anything.
Being unable to sense the other party with inner sight — — for a cultivator, this was an extremely terrifying thing.
In battle, cultivators were already used to relying on their inner sight to sense their surroundings. If they suddenly lost that ability, they wouldn't be able to see the other party with their eyes, which would basically turn the cultivator into a live target.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but recall what happened in the green room.
At the time, Lola also appeared out of nowhere, which surprised me.
Let's keep thinking.
Even Combatants like the Spirit of the Holy Tree, the big rooster, and Triste didn't notice Lola.
Now that's interesting.
"Lola, you're still here?" Gu Qing Shan asked hesitantly.
"That's right, I'm still sitting on your shoulder"
Lola replied.
When Gu Qing Shan tried to touch her, his hand went straight through the void of space on his shoulder.
"How strange, you don't seem to be on my shoulder"
"I am, but I'm avoiding everything, so you can't find me"
Saying so, Lola reappeared.
Gu Qing Shan immediately felt a weight on his shoulder.
He fell into thought.
When Lola disappeared, even her weight disappeared, and when he tried to touch her, he also went straight through the void of space.
Seems like she wouldn't be able to get hurt while in this state.
Thinking about it carefully, this is a state that not only can she hide herself, but she can also make herself immune to any attacks.
That's impressive.
"What kind of spell did you use just now?" Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
"I used to call it hide-and-seek, but according to our clan's historical records, this ability only appeared once several ten thousand years ago, at the time it was called [Shelter of Infinite Worlds]"
Lola proudly puffed out her chest and continued: "This is our Bramble Bird royal family's innate ability, it's said to be extremely hard to awaken, only appearing twice in the past several ten thousand years, I was the second one to awaken"
"How impressive" Gu Qing Shan praised.
Lola took out a piece of cake and started eating.
While eating, she explained: "Whenever I use this ability, I'll feel extremely hungry and need to replenish my energy"
"This ability can't be used on any lifeforms other than myself, and if my stamina runs out and I don't have any energy to replenish myself, I won't be able to use this ability"
"That's already impressive" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
He stood still, waiting for Lola to finish her cake.
"I'm full, let's go"
"Hm"
Gu Qing Shan stood still without moving.
"What's the matter?" Lola asked caringly.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her, then at the ice mountain and stayed silent for a moment.
Regardless of what kind of trap it was, this divine palace on top of the ice mountain was indeed a creation of the Old Gods.
It must hold this world's secret.
Now that it's come to this, if I want to win against [Kindling], I have to go take a look!
Gu Qing Shan finally made up his mind.
"It's fine, let's go" he said.
"Hm" Lola nodded.
They got on the horse.
The black horse quickly ran up the stairs made of ice.
Its speed was extremely fast, reaching the top of the ice mountain in just a few moments.
Gu Qing Shan dismounted, carried Lola from the horse's back and put her on his shoulder.
They entered the divine palace.
The entire divine palace was like the main body of the ice mountain, made entirely out of crystal clear blue ice. As they walked inside, the light from the sky shone straight down, making the ceiling seem like it didn't exist at all.
There weren't any statues or anything similar to Divinities inside the divine palace.
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
Other than the large stairs, the empty platform, and the wide square, there was nothing else in the divine palace.
Although this place had been abandoned for a long time, it was still quite spacious, easily able to hold a few thousand people.
At the center of the divine palace's square was a large ice cave.
Inside the cave, the faint blue glow of water mixed with the inky blood clouds reflected on the dome of the divine palace like a dream.
This ice cave led straight to the inside of the ice mountain.
It seems that in the Age of Old, the Old Gods used this ice cave to summon their creations to come up from the water abyss below the ice mountain.
A monster the size of a small mountain was lying on the ground outside the ice cave.
There were several bloody holes on its body, from which blood was flowing out.
The monster was lying on the ground, not moving at all, obviously dead.
Around the monster, a few hundred people were split into smaller groups, resting.
Gu Qing Shan did a quick count, there were around 800 of them.
From the looks of it, these people weren't any weaker than the dozen people he killed before.
Obviously, these people were the ones who killed the monster.
That's the answer.
My guess was correct, [Kindling] was indeed commanding the demonized to kill ancient lifeforms for Soul Points.
I just don't know how far [Kindling] has progressed.
Or is it [Origin] right now?
Gu Qing Shan felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
He looked at the group.
From the looks of it, they seem to still be waiting for something.
Could it be, more ancient lifeforms are going to surface from the ice cave?
Gu Qing Shan stopped and stared at [Kindling]'s UI.
"I've arrived here, what should I do next?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The dark red UI didn't respond.
[Kindling] didn't answer him.
Very quickly, the entire [Kindling] UI turned grey.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised to see this.
What does that mean?
The people who were resting all looked at him.
Their expressions changed at the same time.
"So that's the quest's target, does he look weak?" a warrior with a heavy hammer in his hand commented.
"This person's strength can be considered excellent even among us" a man with a purple glow in his eyes stared at Gu Qing Shan.
From the looks of it, he seemed to have used some sort of probing skill.
"Ah — –"
Everyone nodded and discussed among themselves.
"If God's Eye said so, then it must be true"
"But so what if he's excellent? With so many of us here, he'll die even if we pile him up "
"That's right, I didn't think there would be such a great reward for killing these two people"
"As we agreed, we'll kill them together, whoever kills them gets the reward"
"Of course, we've already agreed on this"
…
More than 800 powerful demonized Adepts stood up one by one.
They organized their equipment and looked at Gu Qing Shan with ill intentions.
They were ready to fight — — being chosen by [Kindling] to hunt ancient lifeforms, they weren't newbies.
Gu Qing Shan turned around to look behind him.
