The wind of Chaos blew endlessly.
Within the space vortex, everything was chaotic.
Occasionally, strange things would appear, only to quickly disappear into unknown places.
Gu Qing Shan was being pulled by some sort of force towards a certain direction.
Although he was in his soul form, Gu Qing Shan's body was giving off a faint glow that made him seem a bit dignified.
"Ah? Why are you here? "Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
From the light, the ancient Divine Armor replied: 「 The body is only a shelter, the soul is the most fragile and worthy of protection, so I will continue to protect you until everything is over 」
"How trustworthy, much stronger than most humans" Gu Qing Shan praised it.
「 Of course, humans never keep their promises 」 the Divine Armor replied.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't say anything else.
At this point, Shannu's voice came from the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
"Gongzi, where are we going?" she curiously asked.
"To see a friend" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Earth sword also asked: 「 Is it a real friend, or a friend with quotation marks? 」
"A real friend, it's helped me a lot" Gu Qing Shan replied.
His flying speed was increasing.
Sensing the pulling force on his body that was far stronger than before, Gu Qing Shan could sense a bit of anxiety from it.
"Shannu, Earth sword, there might be a battle soon, prepare yourselves" Gu Qing Shan told them.
The two swords let out a 'chime' to express their understanding.
Gu Qing Shan slowly fell into reminiscence.
He suddenly remembered the last time he met the giant corpse, what it said.
"You need to quickly become stronger, I can sense some sort of eerie monster, this monster is scarier than any monster that has ever appeared before, it's slowly approaching this world where I'm imprisoned"
That was what the giant corpse said at the time.
From its tone, Gu Qing Shan could hear a hint of despair.
Up until now, the 100,000-year-old giant corpse had helped me a lot.
Even the [Mystery of All Beings Equal] was taught to me by it.
As long as I have the ability, I need to save it!
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan silently prepared himself for battle.
At a certain moment.
Gu Qing Shan felt the void in front of her disappear, and a scene appeared.
He had once again entered that ignorant world.
Countless black skeletons paced back and forth on the vast land.
It was as if they would never stop.
In the center of the earth, there was a bronze pillar that connected heaven and earth.
A huge corpse wearing black armor was nailed to the bronze pillar.
"I'm here. How are you?"
Gu Qing Shan floated in the air and asked loudly.
The giant corpse did not respond.
Only then did Gu Qing Shan notice that one of the giant corpse's hands was only left with a skeleton.
Messy bite marks covered all five finger bones.
It was as if something had eaten all the meat on it, and then tried to chew through the bones.
"Keep your voice down."
A mysterious voice rang out.
Gu Qing Shan immediately shut her mouth.
It was the voice of a giant corpse.
Under his gaze,
On the black armor worn by the giant corpse, a small piece of loose scale fell off.
The scale flew in front of Gu Qing Shan, released a gust of wind, and circled around Gu Qing Shan for a while.
This seemed to be some sort of confirmation of her identity.
A few moments later, the giant corpse's voice came from the scale.
"The situation is very dangerous"
Her voice carried an unprecedented sense of nervousness.
"What's going on?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"There's something inside my corpse, it's eating my flesh"
The giant corpse continued: "To prevent it from discovering my soul, I had no choice but to hide inside the armor"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan carefully observed the giant corpse.
Very quickly, he noticed that there was a small piece of scale on the giant corpse's chest that was occasionally trembling.
Something was inside the armor.
"Is it there?"
Gu Qing Shan pointed her sword at the corpse's chest.
Her inner sight scanned it, but was blocked by the corpse.
That thing was inside the corpse.
"Yes, it's lying on my chest, eating the outer layer of my flesh. I think it's very interested in my heart" the giant corpse replied.
"Why aren't you retaliating?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"On the bronze pillar, I can't do anything or attack, otherwise I'll alert certain entities"
"Those entities will notice that my soul isn't completely dead yet"
"Once I'm discovered, there'll be no turning back"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "So you can only let that thing eat your body?"
"That's right"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Tell me, what is that thing eating your body?"
"An incomprehensible entity, I'm guessing that it's not an entity of the 900 million World Layers" the giant corpse replied.
"Why not?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"Because it doesn't match the characteristics of any living or non-living entity of the 900 million World Layers" the giant corpse replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
At this point, the faint sound of chewing could be heard from inside the giant corpse.
"Is it strong?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"From what I can sense, it might be a bit stronger than the current you, but I can't guarantee that's the case, because it's an unfamiliar entity that I've never seen before" the giant corpse replied.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and said: "Alright, I'll give it a try"
The giant corpse went silent for a bit, then said: "If you really can't do it, just take my soul and run away"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "That's not a good choice at all, I understand this common sense. With only your soul left, you'll have to start from scratch again from now on"
The giant corpse sighed: "There's no other way, I don't know where this thing came from, but even my soul is feeling fear"
"Didn't you sense that it wasn't strong?"
"It's not an issue of strength, nor is it an issue, it's an issue of myself — — - I know too much, so I have many conjectures, each of which brings me deep fear" after saying so, the giant corpse went silent.
"As long as it's not an issue of strength, I don't care, just watch as I kill it"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan called out the War God UI and pulled out a certain option that she had put away earlier.
[You've obtained a chance to use Strength]
[You've obtained a chance to use Strength]
[You've obtained a chance to use Strength]
[You've obtained a chance to use Strength]
[You've obtained a chance to use Strength]
[You've obtained a chance to use Strength]
[You've obtained a chance to use Strength]
[Please select the corresponding Skill for Strength]
These were the Soul Points harvested by the sword array during the battle against the ghost army in the lost people's world, as well as the [Strength] gained.
During each consecutive War God Quest, Gu Qing Shan would obtain a Soul Points usage status.
This was the difference between a War God Quest and a Destiny Quest.
"There's only one enemy"
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He scrolled through the options and superimposed all of [Strength] on Secret Art [Swallow Returns].
[Swallow Returns] was currently his strongest assassination sword technique.
A new line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[Your Skill: Swallow Returns has been buffed by 12 times its original power]
[After you use this Skill, the next time you use it, its power will return to normal]
[When you use [Strength], you will consume 1000 Soul Points to unleash this Skill, do you accept?]
"Understood, accept"
After preparing, Gu Qing Shan focused his thoughts.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword flew out and tapped the giant corpse's chest a few times.
Clang clang clang!
The sound of a sword striking a piece of armor could be heard.
The movement in the scale armor stopped for a moment.
Then, it began to move again.
Apparently for that entity, compared to the outside world, the giant corpse's heart was more attractive.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword tapped it again.
The other party ignored it.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword returned.
And switched to the Earth sword.
"Use a trick" Gu Qing Shan told it.
[Understood] the Earth sword replied.
It swung the sword horizontally and spun it a few times. After accumulating enough power, it slammed into the black armor.
A powerful strike of 86,370,000 tons!
Bam!
A heavy sound of impact.
The armor didn't budge.
But a short screech could be heard from inside the armor.
The Earth sword returned.
[I interrupted its feeding, it should be furious and will probably come for revenge] the Earth sword quickly said.
"Got it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He looked at the giant corpse's black armor.
Only to see that nothing else was happening inside the armor.
After a while, one of the giant corpse's eyelids slowly opened, revealing a crimson pupil.
"It's not you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"It's not me" the giant corpse replied.
"Then it's a monster"
Gu Qing Shan wielded her sword with both hands, ready to strike.
Suddenly, a roaring voice could be heard.
The voice seemed to be very surprised.
"Hm — — –?"
"Strange" the voice continued, "Gu … Qing … Shan, why are you here?"
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Why am I here?
Here?
— — who would've known I would be here?
An unsolvable question popped up in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
He told the giant corpse: "You said it's not from the 900 million World Layers!"
"It definitely isn't" the giant corpse confirmed it.
"Then why does it even know my name?"
"I'm not sure either" the giant corpse's voice became tense.
While they were talking, a monster had crawled out from the giant corpse's eye socket.
"It's here" the giant corpse reminded them.
Gu Qing Shan held her sword and looked.
Only to see that it was a strange monster.
Before Gu Qing Shan could even see what it looked like, he felt a deep sense of fear.
This was the body's natural reaction when facing death.
In that split second, he opened his mouth wide, but couldn't breathe.
A never-before-felt shadow of death loomed over him.
This was a feeling of absolute despair, as if he was in a bottomless abyss.
The light of the Armor of God's Protection suddenly became blinding and blinding.
The Divine Armor hurriedly spoke: 「 I can sense your death! I can only buy you 3 breaths' worth of time! 」
In the blink of an eye, the Divine Armor activated [God's Order].
[God's Order: When you receive a fatal attack, the armor will sense your death and immediately activate [Time Stop]]
Boundless light erupted from Gu Qing Shan's body, dispelling the darkness that surrounded him.
Everything in the ignorant world came to a standstill.
Time had been stopped!
Gu Qing Shan suddenly noticed a sharp claw stopping right in front of his eyes.
