After sparring, both of them felt like they understood each other a bit better.
Ilya considered sparring as a way to understand Gu Qing Shan.
But wasn't Gu Qing Shan the same as well?
After sparring, Ilya gave Gu Qing Shan some advice.
At the same time, Gu Qing Shan also understood Ilya's character.
— — it seems Ilya is a trustworthy person.
First of all, Ilya swore before the Saint Bramble Tree that she would protect Lola no matter what.
It was said that if this oath was violated, the Bramble Birds would lose all of their powers.
Secondly, during the sparring just now, Gu Qing Shan could clearly tell that the other party was truly testing his strength without any ill intent.
Otherwise, with such a huge difference in strength between them, Ilya could've used her full strength and suddenly attacked.
Gu Qing Shan was constantly on guard as if he was walking on thin ice.
It wasn't until the very end, when Ilya pointed out the direction of his cultivation that he finally calmed down a bit.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan asked the real question in his mind.
"I'm a bit curious, why didn't you become a target of [Worlds Apocalypse Online]?"
"Why did you think of that?"
"Because there were over 200 million demonized people outside that had [Worlds Apocalypse Online] installed, no one could resist"
"It wasn't that no one resisted, but that all those who resisted became its Soul Points"
Ilya sighed and continued: "It did try to find me, but I refused. After that, it sent a few Demon Lords to surround and kill me, so I hid under the ice — — because I couldn't attack, otherwise Triste would notice"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Go on"
"I followed the water flow under the ice and found that this world was a world separated from the rest of the world by an ocean. Above the ocean was a frozen wasteland, while below the water was a divine barrier of the Old Gods. After that, I used a precious treasure to pass through the barrier and entered this lost world of the Old Gods"
"Come to think of it, no one in this remnant world of the Old Gods has Worlds Apocalypse Online installed" Gu Qing Shan mused.
Ilya explained: "Because this is the Old God's world, there's a divine barrier protecting it, so [Worlds Apocalypse Online] can't corrode it right away, so it can only send Entropy Ghosts down here. Entropy Ghosts can disintegrate themselves, as well as summon Wraiths from within the world"
「 A large number of ghosts and revenants began to investigate this world, quickly sensing the remnant tribe's holy artifact. They immediately reported it to the [Demon King Order] 」
At this point, Ilya paused for a bit and thought about it: "That Holy Relic of the Remnant was said to be a treasure left behind by the Old Gods, I think the [Demon King Order] really covets it"
"Why would you think that?"
"The demonic ghosts have offered a lot of tempting benefits in exchange for the remnant tribe's sacred relic."
"When the survivors of the Old Gods refused to trade their holy relics, the [Demon King Order] immediately launched a war of annihilation."
"The entire remnant world was slowly being destroyed by the ghosts and revenants, only my Tidal city managed to hold on until now because I've offered a lot of treasures to help the Divine Seeds fight"
"Are there any differences between Divine Seeds and Demis?"
"Of course there are, Demis are the descendants of the Old Gods, they can learn and use Divine Skills, while Divine Seeds are creations of the Old Gods, a completely different kind of life"
"So that's how it is" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
If that's the case, everything makes sense now.
The only problem right now is to figure out what the ghosts and revenants are planning to do next.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, Ilya had taken out a full set of armor from who knows where.
This was a bright green war armor, the breastplate, shoulder guards, arm guards, gauntlets, belt, knee pads, boots, and helmet were all brand new, neatly stacked on top of each other to form the outline of a humanoid armor.
The armor gave off a faint green glow that was quite eye-catching.
Ilya lightly put the entire set of armor in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Take it and wear it, the battles from now on will only become more and more dangerous, but I can see that you don't even have a single piece of armor to protect yourself, as a sword cultivator who specializes in killing, this is really not right"
Looking at the armor, Gu Qing Shan hesitated.
The Bramble Birds lived in the Mystic Zones, the richest in the 900 million World Layers knew about it.
If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be so many people rushing to answer the Light of Dawn Triste's call.
As the Frost of the Cold Night that was as famous as the Light of Dawn, the Bramble Bird General Ilya naturally had good stuff as well.
This armor was already giving off a strange phenomenon just by sitting there, it was obvious that it wasn't a normal item.
Gu Qing Shan's You Ji General armor had already been destroyed by Divinity when she ascended the frozen mountain.
But this set of armor in front of her was so powerful that compared to Gu Qing Shan's original You Ji General armor, the difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.
In every war, sword cultivators are always the frontline fighting force. Without armor, a sword cultivator would always be hesitant and unable to unleash their full power.
As a sword cultivator, Gu Qing Shan didn't even have a single piece of armor to protect herself, which was a bit awkward.
"Thank you, then I'll accept it"
Gu Qing Shan finally clasped her fist and thanked her.
"That's for the best, you only need to touch this armor and use your spirit to sense it, then you'll be able to wear it" Ilya told her.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and touched the armor with his hand.
As soon as his hand touched the emerald armor, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[Item name: Bramble Bird General's armor]
[Grade: Epic]
[War God Skills: This armor is a brand new Bramble Bird General standard armor, it doesn't contain any comprehensible skills]
[Doomsday Chronicles event description: This armor is a brand new Bramble Bird General standard armor, it doesn't contain any relevant historical events]
Gu Qing Shan touched the armor, feeling the coldness and toughness of its metal surface.
That's right, with armor, a sword cultivator is like a tiger with wings on the battlefield!
He released his spirit to communicate with the armor.
Clang!
Following his mental request, the entire armor disintegrated into its various components and circled around him.
As the components were about to attach themselves to his body — — -
Unexpectedly, the components all let out a short screech and flew back.
The components once again formed a suit of armor and fell to the ground.
This Bramble Bird General armor actually managed to avoid Gu Qing Shan's attack!
"What's going on?"
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
Seeing that, Ilya also appeared surprised.
"Strange, this Bramble Bird General armor of mine is an Epic-class armor with high compatibility, why did it reject you? Wait a minute, do you also have an invisible suit of armor? "
Gu Qing Shan facepalmed: "Ah, sorry about that, I forgot something, Lola had actually given me a suit of armor"
Ilya looked at him from top to bottom and asked: "Where's the armor?"
"It's already on me, but it hasn't manifested yet"
"That's strange, could it be a living armor — — did she say what kind of armor it was?"
"She said it was an armor that she took from the unending abyss of broken worlds"
"That's impossible!" Ilya exclaimed in shock.
"Why not?"
"Because only the Bramble Bird royal family who awakened the [Infinite Worlds' Shelter] can enter that place. In the entire history of the Bramble Bird Kingdom, only a single monarch was able to do so"
"Lola also seems to have awakened this ability"
Ilya resolutely replied: "No, she only has this ability. To fully awaken this ability, she must complete the Saint Bramble Bird Tree's coming of age ceremony, but she didn't participate in it"
Which means, Lola didn't even go to the unending abyss of broken worlds.
Then where did this armor I'm wearing come from?
What exactly is it?
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the War God UI.
"System, display my armor" he said.
A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
“？？？？？”
“？？？？？ It has been prepared, waiting to be awakened]
[This is an ancient artifact that was lost in the unending abyss of broken worlds, almost no living being can reach that place — — - aside from a very small number of Bramble Birds]
[Where is it????? Before it awakens, the System cannot receive any specific information about it, please patiently wait for it to appear]
Strange, the War God System shouldn't be mistaken.
This armor really did come from the unending abyss of broken worlds.
But Lola clearly couldn't have reached that place.
What exactly is going on here?
Gu Qing Shan was confused.
He silently asked: "System, why are there so many question marks on me?"
[A set of armor] the System replied.
"But why can't I sense anything at all?"
[It still hasn't been awakened, so it isn't in use yet]
"How do I awaken it?"
[There are certain conditions that must be fulfilled, but the System doesn't know about these conditions]
Gu Qing Shan could only give up.
Ilya thought about it for a bit, but couldn't think of anything.
The Bramble Bird royal family had too many good things, enough to fill mountains and oceans, who knows what kind of armor Lola took out.
And right now, Gu Qing Shan couldn't even put on a single piece of armor.
Ilya spoke apologetically: "Lola is still young, she probably wanted to show off so she took out a strange armor and purposely said that it came from the unending abyss of broken worlds. She definitely didn't mean to deceive you, I hope you won't hold it against her"
Gu Qing Shan immediately replied: "I won't hold it against her. In fact, regardless of what this armor is, it's still a token of her goodwill"
— — -this is a bit strange, I'll ask Lola about it after I return.
Seeing his attitude, Ilya was satisfied.
With such a personality, no wonder Lola is so close to him.
Ilya smiled: "Very well, let's go investigate first and see what the ghosts are up to"
"Alright"
The two of them moved and set off again.
At the end of the plains, there was a large forest.
At the time, Gu Qing Shan brought Lola and old man Jiao through the forest to reach the plains.
And when the ghost army retreated, they also ran into the forest.
At the time, the ghosts and revenants were forced to retreat, so they didn't cover their tracks very well. Not to mention, both Gu Qing Shan and Ilya were experienced veterans on the battlefield.
The two of them worked together and quickly found the traces of the Devil Army's retreat.
The two of them followed the trail and finally arrived at a valley.
All of the clues pointed towards this gloomy mountain valley.
The two of them exchanged glances and silently sneaked into the mountain valley.
As they got closer, Gu Qing Shan felt even more strange.
There weren't any sentries around the mountain valley, nor were there any signs of defensive spells.
Are all the ghosts this careless?
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and carefully searched the mountain valley.
"No, how could this be?" he muttered.
"That's right, something isn't right …" Ilya also said.
They both noticed that there was no one else in the mountain valley.
Inside the mountain valley, there were many obvious traces left behind by the ghosts.
But all of them were gone.
