"Are all of them … dead?"
Lola opened her eyes wide and asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the motionless corpses and felt that they were getting more and more eerie.
Noticing the small body on his shoulder that was trembling, he changed the topic: "They look similar to me, the only difference is the color of their skin"
"Of course, the Old Gods created their civilization based on their own appearance, so within the 900 million World Layers, the appearance of humans is highly respected" sure enough, Lola was attracted by the new topic.
"Then what did you originally look like?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Ah, it's like this — —"
As Lola said so, a pair of small dark green wings suddenly sprouted from her back.
"Dark green is the trend this year, it's a mature color, and since I just turned 12, I dyed it a bit — — but my wings were originally crystal green" she explained.
Gu Qing Shan scowled and asked: "Both are green, is there a difference?"
"… How depressing, there's nothing to talk about with you about this"
Lola flapped her wings a bit, then put them back.
She was slowly losing her fear.
"I say — —" the black horse stopped and spoke up.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola both showed expressions of interest.
"Are you sure you didn't come here to have a picnic? In such a dangerous situation, I just felt a bit of tension, why did it disappear? "it questioned.
"Truthfully, on this journey, there were a few times I thought I was going to die for sure, but I ended up surviving just fine"
Lola put her hand on Gu Qing Shan's shoulder and continued.
"— — I'm already numb to it, I don't even know how I made it here alive, so whatever, he's here anyway"
"What if he can't do anything?" the black horse asked.
"Then I'll have no choice but to die" Lola replied.
Seeing that Lola wasn't afraid anymore, Gu Qing Shan turned to the corpses.
He felt like he still needed to investigate.
Urging the horse forward, Gu Qing Shan lightly placed her hand on the forehead of a tall man who was standing still.
He activated the spiritual energy in his body and sent it into the other party's body.
However, all the organs of the corpse were intact, and there were no external or internal injuries at all.
The corpse was still warm.
It seemed that he hadn't been dead for long.
In that case …
Could it be a spirit-type attack?
This was most likely related to the existence of ghosts and gods.
"How are Entropy Ghosts created?" Gu Qing Shan could not help but ask.
"My father knows, but I once asked him about it. He didn't eat for the whole day," Lola said.
Gu Qing Shan then looked at the Earth sword.
The Earth sword replied: 「 It's a combination of many different kinds of ghosts, you can think about it yourself, but I don't want to talk about the process 」
"Alright, then another question. After the Entropy Ghost dies, does it disappear completely? You should know that it's a combination of ghosts from the Huang Quan Path. "Gu Qing Shan asked again.
「 Not sure, almost no one has ever killed an Entropy Ghost 」 the Earth sword answered.
"Yes, probably no one knows the answer," Lola agreed.
Gu Qing Shan recalled the scene when he killed the Entropy Ghost just now.
It was completely cut apart by the sword phantoms and disappeared without a trace.
And everyone here was killed by a soul vessel attack.
Ghosts are best at attacking the soul vessel — — -
Then, could new ghosts have been born from the Entropy Ghost's corpse?
Or perhaps, this world is currently being attacked by other ghosts?
— — -no, the Old Gods' protective barrier should be very tight and powerful, [Origin] shouldn't have been able to find a way to deal with this barrier so quickly.
Ghosts … huh …
Gu Qing Shan abruptly circulated his spirit energy and exerted his full strength.
He had awakened the mutated Elemental Lightning, so when he was at full power, his entire body was covered in a layer of blue and white lightning.
Elemental Lightning was also known as [Smiting], a natural ability to deal damage to ghosts.
"What are you doing?" Lola exclaimed in shock.
"Ghosts are naturally afraid of Lightning, so I'm trying to investigate the situation"
Gu Qing Shan shouted: "Scatter!"
The Chao Yin sword, Earth sword, and Six Paths Great Mountain sword split into three different directions and disappeared without a trace.
The three flying swords were quickly flying through the void of space.
They were continuously unleashing Secret Art [Drawn Shadow] within a radius of several miles around them.
In a split second, a vast amount of sword qi exploded.
Countless black sword phantoms bloomed in the void of space like a blooming lotus flower.
As the flying swords flew through the air, the surrounding space was filled with sword phantoms, like a sea of swords.
Gu Qing Shan silently used his Lightning spirit and formed another hand seal!
The black sword phantoms were all enveloped by the blue and white lightning!
Very quickly, the countless sword phantoms all turned into Lightning phantoms.
The flashing lightning turned into a blinding mass of light that removed the shroud of darkness from the ground.
In just a few miles around them, it was as bright as day.
The descent of such a large area of lightning was like a miracle.
At a certain point, one of the corpses moved.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes became sharp.
With a single thought, the sword also moved.
With a 'sha', the Earth sword flew forward and scattered into countless Lightning sword phantoms on its way.
The Chao Yin sword came again, also turning into dancing snakes of lightning.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword circled around the corpse, slashing out thin arcs of Lightning.
The three swords struck out at the same time, unleashing rays of sword light that formed a cage of lightning, completely trapping the corpse.
The corpse inside the cage suddenly moved.
A large shadow leapt out from the corpse and crashed into the Lightning sword phantoms.
Zi zi zi zi!
The sword phantoms caused white smoke to rise from its body.
The black shadow let out a miserable shriek.
— — -it's a ghost!
Only ghosts would suffer a great loss of vitality after being touched by lightning.
Gu Qing Shan was even more convinced of her previous conjecture.
The shadow retreated, circling around the cage made of Lightning sword phantoms, anxiously moving around.
As Gu Qing Shan took a closer look, she found that this shadow seemed to be made up of over a dozen different shapes and sizes, layered on top of each other to create a very eerie sight.
Shannu appeared and told Gu Qing Shan: "Gongzi, this is a monster under the throne of the Huang Quan Deity, a total of 13 soul-devouring revenants that specialize in eating the souls of living beings"
"Why would there be such a vicious thing in Huang Quan, why didn't I see it the last time I went?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
"The last time you went, the 7-colored spear had already slaughtered the entirety of Huang Quan, so of course you didn't see anything" Shannu replied.
"Can you communicate with them?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I can't, they've already lost their consciousness, they only know how to kill" Shannu shook her head.
"Could they be the product of the Entropy Demon's body?"
"It's possible, if that's the case …"
Shannu's face slowly paled.
Gu Qing Shan also understood and hurriedly asked the Earth sword: "How many types of Huang Quan Deities and revenants are the product of the Entropy Demon?"
The Earth sword answered: 「 There are 808 Wraith Soldiers and 1600 Evil Demons in hell, but I can't be sure exactly how many of them are mixed together, but it's definitely at least half of the total number, otherwise they wouldn't be able to be created 」
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
If his conjecture is correct, then a single Entropy Demon can be split into at least 1204 revenants.
"I killed 11 Entropy Demons just now"
He muttered.
If all the Entropy Demons split into revenants, then the situation …
Thinking of that, Lola who had been listening couldn't help but shiver.
At this point, some strange noises could be heard from the front of the road.
"We need to pause our discussion for a bit"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan put Lola on the horse's back and dismounted.
With a wave of his hand, the three flying swords unleashed an intense attack and directly killed the 13 soul-devouring revenants.
The three swords flew back and quietly hovered in the void behind him.
"I'll go take a look, you guys wait here" he told Lola and the black horse.
Lola looked left and right.
Other than herself and Gu Qing Shan, there wasn't a single living person around. But there were a few corpses not too far away.
These corpses were still in the same position as when they were alive, completely motionless.
Their expressions were filled with pain, as if they were in extreme fear.
Dead silence.
In the middle of the night, it was as if the entire city had died.
A gust of cold wind blew past.
If the Entropy Demons really did split into countless revenants …
Thinking that, Lola couldn't help but shiver, unable to hold it in anymore.
"Gu Qing Shan, I'm scared" she shouted.
"Don't worry, I'm only going to take a look, I'll be right back" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Lola sniffled, then sobbed: "I'm really scared"
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to return and put her back on his shoulder.
"Sit tight?" he asked.
Lola nodded.
"I'll go with her to take a look, you wait here" Gu Qing Shan told the black horse.
He brought Laura along as they headed forward.
The black horse stared at their backs, then looked around.
On its right, about 30 meters away, a corpse was staring at it with a pair of fearful eyes.
At a certain point, the corpse's mouth seemed to have curled up.
The corpse is smiling?
The black horse opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, only to find that although the corpse's expression was full of fear and despair, it wasn't smiling at all.
The black horse went silent, then sighed: "Don't horses know how to be afraid?"
