Lola sat down comfortably on Gu Qing Shan's shoulder.
There was silence all around.
The guards exchanged glances.
Ilya Frost of the Cold Night opened her eyes wide, watching this unbelievable scene.
According to the timeline, this is what happened — — -
Gu Qing Shan rode the black horse out.
Lola swore to become a qualified ruler.
Gu Qing Shan returned.
After making her vow, Lola obediently sat back on his shoulder.
The guards exchanged glances, seemingly trying to find an answer from each other's eyes.
Is this not right?
I feel like something isn't right …
Bastard!
Of course it's not right.
The great Bramble Bird King is sitting on that man's shoulder again.
Lola soon noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Especially the uncontrollable pressure Ilya was giving off.
Lola casually introduced: "Gu Qing Shan, this is our Bramble Bird General, Frost of the Cold Night, Ilya"
"Ilya, this is Gu Qing Shan, he brought me away from Triste's pursuit, saving my life many times on the way here"
This was a timely explanation as well as a clarification of the situation.
Ilya could only nod.
"Thank you for saving our king" she thanked him.
"Ah, you're welcome, it's only natural" Gu Qing Shan hurriedly replied.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries.
The atmosphere calmed down.
Ilya took a deep breath, about to say something, but seeing the nervousness and pleading in Lola's eyes, she sighed.
Fine, Lola might be young, but she's always had her own ideas.
Not to mention, from the moment they appeared on the plains, Lola has been sitting on his shoulder.
Seems like Lola has accepted him.
After losing all of her family, if there's someone who can give her warmth like a father, that would be a good thing for her growth.
Moreover, in this battle, not to mention Lola, even his own life seemed to have been saved by her.
When the city was breached, he drew away the ghost army that was attacking the city.
But —
He wasn't that strong, right?
How could he do this …
No, there must be something fishy about this.
He had to find a chance to ask Lola privately later.
Putting aside Ilya's thoughts, everyone gathered together and set off for Tidal city.
Late at night.
In the sky, the golden light that lasted for a long time gradually faded.
Now that all the Entropy Ghosts had entered this world, the Old Gods' barrier was no longer affected and slowly returned to normal.
Night fell.
There was no sound coming from the city.
There were too few people who could survive the fierce attack of the ghost army.
Even those God Seeds that could transform into Ancient Life Forms, there were only twenty or so left.
They were split into two groups. One group brought Jiao to the temple in the center of the city, while the other went outside the city to repair the damaged walls.
Everyone was mobilized to repair the city's defensive measures.
Frost of the Cold Night Ilya brought Lola to find a place to rest.
She wanted to have a good chat with Lola.
Gu Qing Shan wandered around the city by himself.
He won the entire war by himself, so no one dared to order him around right now.
After a while, Gu Qing Shan decided to ask one of the Divine Seeds about something.
"What was old Jiao brought to do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"To accept the trial of our tribe's heirloom" the Divine Seed answered.
Since he was able to resolve the demon siege, the Divine Seed answered every single question.
"Trial?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"That's right, those ghosts and demonized, their target was our tribe's treasure, the Old Gods' heirloom"
"How do you know that's what they want?"
"They've sent envoys here a few times, but we refused to trade our tribe's heirloom to them, so they started a war"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan immediately understood how important this was.
[Origin] had been attacking this world in a frenzy to find something that could help it evolve.
It was a unique material left behind by the Old Gods in the 900 million World Layers, capable of helping all non-living things evolve.
The Divine Seed sighed: "In truth, our tribe has been worshipping the Old Gods' heirloom for countless years, never once thinking of taking it for ourselves. But now that the situation is so dire, we have to try and accept its trial to see who can obtain it and trigger the power of the Old Gods to help us protect our homeland"
"Wait a minute — — you told old Jiao to accept the heirloom's trial, which means none of you passed it?"
"How shameful, the Old Gods' trial is too hard, and everyone faces a different trial, that's why none of us have passed it until now"
"I see that there are quite a few of you here?"
"Among our tribe, only Divine Seeds are qualified to accept the heirloom's trial, normal tribe members can't accept it, nor can they use the method left behind by the Old Gods to fuse with this heirloom"
"So that's how it is"
No wonder old Jiao left in such a hurry.
If he can obtain that heirloom and become stronger, [Origin]'s goal would have been for naught.
Old Jiao is the key to this.
But the trial left behind by the Old Gods seems to be very hard, none of these Divine Seeds managed to pass it and obtain that heirloom.
I can only hope that old Jiao can succeed.
If he also fails …
"If old Jiao also fails, what do you intend to do with that heirloom?" Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.
"The tribe of the Old Gods are the children of the Old Gods, we definitely won't sell the heirloom of the Old Gods, we will fight until the very last moment, then destroy it!"
"Well done!" Gu Qing Shan praised.
If it comes down to the point of destruction, even if they have to destroy the heirloom, they won't give it to the enemy.
The tribe of the Old Gods sure have guts.
If that's the case, there won't be any problems.
Gu Qing Shan slowly calmed down.
At this point, a female voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Gu Qing Shan"
As Gu Qing Shan turned around, he saw that it was Ilya.
"Where's Lola?" he asked.
"Her Majesty the Empress is currently equipping everyone" Ilya replied.
"Ah — –"
"Mr. Gu Qing Shan, although the ghosts have retreated, I still have a bad feeling about it. I'm going to take a look, would you be willing to come with me to see what they're up to?"
"No problem!"
Gu Qing Shan immediately agreed.
To be honest, he also had a bad feeling about it.
"However, you don't seem to be in a good position to investigate the military, you should be resting instead"
Gu Qing Shan observed her and said.
There were quite a few wounds on Ilya's body.
Although the bleeding had stopped, the wounds were quite deep, if she ran into an intense battle, she wouldn't be able to exert her full strength.
"It's fine, these wounds are nothing" Ilya forced a smile and said.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
He suddenly tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a pill, tossing it to her.
"What is this?" Ilya caught the pill and asked.
"A special pill to heal external wounds" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Ilya put it under her nose and sniffed it, then slowly smiled.
"The 6 arts of the cultivation world are quite famous even among the billions of worlds, especially formations and pills, I've always admired them"
Saying so, Ilya popped the pill into his mouth, chewed it a bit and swallowed it.
As Gu Qing Shan watched the other party swallow the pill, he couldn't help but feel that this scene was very familiar …
He suddenly tapped his head.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, although this pill has an instant effect on external wounds, it also has a cleansing effect on the body"
Cleansing the body?
Ilya's expression slowly changed.
A few moments later, she scowled and put her hand on her stomach.
That's right, this feeling is — —
"Excuse me!"
She coldly left those words and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan stood still for a bit.
She's heavily wounded, so she must've been in as much pain as old man Jiao did when dealing with that problem.
Sssss — —
Gu Qing Shan gasped, not daring to think any further.
… Will she come and hit me?
Fine, fine, I'll have to think about it more from now on.
Even if she's doing it out of goodwill, I still need to do it properly.
Then what should I do now?
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
That Divine Seed had already climbed up the wall, turning into a monster the size of a hill to help repair the wall.
There was no one around.
Then I'll wait for her. Erm, wait for her.
