The flames of Purgatory faded away.
All the ghosts, corpses, and shadows of Purgatory's monsters also disappeared without a trace.
The entire city turned into a city of silence.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and silently pondered.
Purgatory calls itself a mediator, but it's actually already leaning towards the [Demon King Order].
Who knows how many other legendary worlds in the 900 million World Layers are standing at the crossroads, choosing their own direction.
Just now, that person said that I don't represent [Order], so there's no need to go against the [Demon King Order].
Could there be some other secret behind Purgatory?
"My leg's injured and I've been squatting for so long, it's so uncomfortable!"
A complaining voice came from afar, cutting off his thoughts.
Gu Qing Shan turned around.
Not too far behind him, the old man came out from the coral building.
From the looks of it, his leg was a bit numb and he was staggering a bit.
"Your wounds have healed a lot, but you still need to take more pills to fully recover"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the old man and judged.
He took out a few pills from his Inventory Bag.
"But this method of healing is too painful, if you still have the same pills — –" the old man breathed heavily.
"You're not going to eat anymore?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Give me another one, please."
"… Can you not breathe when you speak?"
"I can't help it, this is the moment of extinction, I need to quickly recover before I can go to the battlefield"
"Everyone's already dead and there's still a battlefield?"
"Of course, young man, we need to hurry" the old man loudly declared.
"Where to?"
"To Tidal city, that's the only place where there are still people alive, and the only place that can stop these monsters from invading!"
"Very well, please wait a moment, I need to call my friend"
"Your friend? Wait a minute, you still have people? "
"A friend"
The old man was a bit disappointed, but also intrigued: "Is she as strong as you?"
"From a certain point of view, she has a way to make a lot of people willingly work for her"
"Such a powerful spell?" the old man was surprised.
"Yes, it's a spell that no one would be able to resist"
"Very well, let's go get your friend first, then we'll search the entire city again — — - there might be other survivors"
"Search for survivors? I'll go with you on this matter. "
"Why don't you bring your friend along? Is he doing something else important? "
"Yes, she has something very important."
…
With Gu Qing Shan's spiritual will, the search was fast and efficient.
Ten minutes later.
On the side of the road, an azure light shot into the sky.
In the dark of the night, such a gorgeous and bright light was like a signal flare, very eye-catching.
But Gu Qing Shan and the old man waited for a long time, but no one came.
"Looks like they're all dead," the old man said sorrowfully.
He clenched his fist.
All the light converged.
The badge that had exploded with light dimmed.
"Old Jiao, people like you who can transform into ancient species, how many of them are there?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The ancient remnant known as Old Jiao had a downcast expression.
"I don't know how many are left, but I'm the only one left in this city."
"What about the other cities?"
"The cities have long lost contact with each other. I don't know how many Divine Seeds there are."
"Why is the war so intense? Isn't there a barrier of the Old Gods? "
"If we don't go out to fight them, the demonized will hold a summoning ritual outside the World Shell, summoning an endless amount of Entropy Ghosts to invade our world"
Old Jiao sighed: "We have no way to deal with the Entropy Ghosts"
"That's why, in order to break their summoning ritual, you have no choice but to go out and fight them?"
"That's right, we've gone out to fight them a few times, but there's no way to kill them all. As soon as we show up, we'll be drowned by the flood of demonized, although we can occasionally break the summoning ritual, our people can only die in the end"
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
There are over 200 million demonized people outside.
Even if I go out and fight against this number, I'll only be able to do nothing.
"Why is Tidal city still able to hold on?" he asked again.
"Tidal city is a city of worship chosen by the Old Gods, there's a powerful outsider there helping us. Of course, this isn't enough, we'll have to take a look first"
"An outsider?"
Gu Qing Shan realized something.
"That's right, she knows a unique spell that can control the Entropy Ghosts to a certain degree. Thanks to this spell of hers, every living person in the world has gone to Tidal city"
"Is that outsider called Frost of the Cold Night — — - Frost of the Cold Night Ilya?"
"Ah? How do you know her name? "old Jiao asked in surprise.
"I'm also looking for her"
Gu Qing Shan calmed down.
No wonder I couldn't find this person in the icy world outside.
Even after such a huge commotion, she still didn't show up.
It turns out Frost of the Cold Night Ilya has already entered the world.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit more confident.
Frost of the Cold Night Ilya was a Combatant on par with the Light of Dawn Triste, the Bramble Bird Kingdom's general commander of external warfare.
She swore to protect Lola.
She's already one of us.
I need to bring Lola to her right now!
"Let's go, wake up my friend and we'll leave right away" Gu Qing Shan decisively said.
"Wait a minute, wake up?" old Jiao shouted in surprise, "didn't you say your friend was doing something very important?"
"Of course, you might not know how terrifying dreams are, in fact, there are some species whose spells can only be activated through dreams"
"Is that so?" old Jiao was a bit doubtful.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan spoke with a serious expression.
"… It was this old man's fault for being ignorant, let's go"
The two of them left together.
Very quickly, they reached where Lola was resting.
After opening almost a hundred layers of formations, Gu Qing Shan brought old Jiao inside.
"Gongzi, you're back" Shannu stood up and greeted him.
"I am, how is she?"
"She's sleeping very well"
Gu Qing Shan walked in front of the bed and looked at Lola.
The little girl was sleeping very soundly.
Perhaps because she's been exhausted for the past few days, her breathing was heavy and she was snoring a bit.
Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out, hesitantly pulled it back.
"Let's wait a bit longer, we're about to leave" he said.
Shannu nodded, turned back into a sword and disappeared into the void of space.
Old Jiao opened his eyes wide as he watched this.
The person who spoke with the female voice looked exactly the same as the swordsman next to him.
But then, the person turned into a woman, then a sword, then disappeared without a trace!
If he didn't see it with his own eyes, old Jiao wouldn't believe such an absurd thing could happen.
But the truth was right in front of him.
He couldn't help but silently sigh, the world is so big that nothing is too strange.
Thinking about it, what the swordsman said just now about someone being able to fight in a dream isn't that strange after all.
"Your friend is still fighting in a dream?" old Jiao respectfully asked.
"Ah, probably" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He looked at Lola.
Lola was sleeping so soundly that he didn't want to wake her up.
"How impressive, but we'll have to hurry" old Jiao said.
"Why?"
"Tidal city's defenses are tight, we need to let them know of our existence before they can let us in"
He continued: "We don't have much time, once the final battle begins, they won't be able to let us in"
"Can you contact them?"
"I can"
"Then let's go"
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He finally reached his hand out, lightly stroking Lola's forehead.
Abundant spirit energy flowed into Lola's body.
Lola slowly woke up.
"What's the matter, Gu Qing Shan?" Lola sat up on the bed and asked worriedly.
Her gaze fell onto old Jiao.
"I have good news, we've found Ilya. Ah, right, this is old Jiao, a local. He's the guide I hired, he'll take us there" Gu Qing Shan said.
"You found Ilya? Really? "Lola rubbed her eyes and asked in disbelief.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
"That's great!" Lola excitedly raised both of her hands.
The three of them quickly packed up and prepared to leave.
But before they left, they ran into a problem.
The black horse can only carry two people.
"How about we just fly, it'll be faster" Gu Qing Shan suggested.
"No way, I'm not flying, I even dreamt of falling from the sky just now" Lola objected.
"Then — –"
Lola said: "Leave it to me, isn't it just the three of us? I have a way"
Lola thought for a bit, took out a tortoise shell from her backpack and gave it to old Jiao.
"Thank you, will it turn into a great ancient Tortoise Divine Seed for me to ride?" old Jiao excitedly asked.
"It's not that complicated, it's very simple to use — — and in times of danger, you can even use it to take shelter" Lola replied.
So the three of them set off.
"Where are we going? Tidal city? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No, we need to get in touch with them first" old Jiao said.
"The contact point is outside the city?"
"That's right, the Whispering Tree can only grow in the forest"
"… What a strange method of communication, let's go"
The black horse galloped as fast as it could towards the wilderness outside of the city.
It was as fast as lightning.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola sat on the black horse's back.
A long rope extended from the black horse's back, dragging a tortoise shell.
Old Jiao stood on top of the tortoise shell, tightly holding the rope and loudly ordered: "At the next junction, remember to take the left path!"
"Got it" the black horse replied.
