The black-covered book silently floated in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Gu Qing Shan wasn't in a hurry to open it.
He had always been patient when facing the unknown.
He stared at the glowing text on the War God UI and asked the System.
"War God System, can you explain to me the 6 conditions to trigger the Old Gods' Remnant Image?"
[Ting]!
The War God System replied:
[Firstly: The 900 million World Layers was created by the Old Gods, now that the Old Gods have left and the Apocalypse has manifested, the [Order of the Infinite Worlds Apocalypse] is currently descending, this means that the timeline has fulfilled the Old Gods' conditions]
[Secondly: This world is the home of the Old Gods]
[Thirdly: The Chao Yin sword was forged by the Old Gods to guard the four seas, the wielder of this sword is the King of the Seas recognized by the Old Gods]
[Fourthly: Ever since you entered this world, you have been fighting against [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Origin], as witnessed by the Old Gods' snowy peak]
[Fifthly: You have destroyed two [Orders] at the same time]
[Sixth: You are the War God recognized by the System, the holder of the War God Authority, the manifestation of the Laws of a different timeline before the Apocalypse, you should know this very well]
Gu Qing Shan read through everything, pausing for a bit on the last line.
That's right, I've actually snuck back to the past from another timeline, then started all over again.
According to the logic of science, the future could actually influence the past.
If that's the case, did the future influence the past, or did the past influence the future?
No, it should be like this — — -
I and the War God System snuck back to the past from the future, thus influencing everything in the past and causing the past to start anew.
But what if I can't use scientific logic to determine this?
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
He thought of that monster again.
「 Pitiful … 」 the monster said as it looked at him before it died.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
There are too many mysteries, and with my current strength, I still can't determine any of them.
At this point, a new notification appeared on the War God UI.
[You can now accept the Old Gods' blessing]
Looking at this notification, Gu Qing Shan could feel a sense of joy from the War God System.
"This isn't a trap, is it?"
He asked.
"They won't. The Gods hate Order, and you've proven your stance with your actions in their world."
[Because of that, the measures left behind by the Old Gods will not be used against you] the War God System replied.
Gu Qing Shan finally calmed down and said: "Alright, let us take a look and see what exactly this black leather book is"
He reached out and grasped the black book.
Right away, a new notification appeared on the War God UI.
"You've obtained the Book of Gifts of the Creator Gods."
"Please open this book."
Gu Qing Shan flipped open the cover of the book.
In an instant, the entire black leather book turned into a beam of light that shot into the sky.
This dazzling and glorious light was filled with the meaning of life and praise, hovering above Gu Qing Shan's head.
At the same time, the light and shadow between the heavens and the earth formed a giant, revealing itself in the sky.
His body was like a majestic mountain, and in front of him, Gu Qing Shan was just a mortal at the foot of the mountain.
The giant looked down at Gu Qing Shan and began to speak.
[You are the third person within the 900 million World Layers to receive the Blessing of Order from the Old Gods. Now, you may tell me what you desire the most from the bottom of your heart]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
But before he could react, the War God UI quickly formed a line of text on the UI.
[You must tell the truth]
Seemingly afraid that Gu Qing Shan would waste this chance, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI again, quickly explaining in detail:
[The Causality Law of the Old Gods has its own rules. You must start from the deepest and truest Cause in your heart in order to smoothly form a true Effect]
[Because of that, you must tell me what you desire the most from the bottom of your heart!]
Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the War God UI and nodded, expressing that he understood.
He looked at the giant of light in the sky and took a deep breath — — -
"In truth, there are many times when I'm faced with desperate situations, I can't help but hate my own weakness"
He began to speak.
"If you are willing, please help me obtain power that far surpasses my current level, only then will I be able to go against [Order], obtain freedom, and protect everything that I want to protect!"
"Great power!"
"Enough power to change everything!"
"I need to become stronger, to obtain greater power, this is what I desire the most!"
Gu Qing Shan loudly shouted.
— — -there were too many desperate situations, too many helplessness. He had always been walking on the edge of a cliff, thinking of all sorts of ways to fight, to gamble, to search for a single chance of survival for himself and everything that he wanted to protect.
He had tried everything he could think of, risking everything he had.
However!
If he was strong enough, he wouldn't need to rack his brain for so many situations, he wouldn't need to run back and forth, planning and plotting.
All he needed to do was draw his sword and everything would be resolved.
Because of that, just as the 100,000-year-old giant corpse had said, within the infinite worlds' Apocalypse, weakness is an original sin!
He must be strong!
At this moment.
Facing the giant of light of the Old Gods.
Gu Qing Shan was venting the longing he had been suppressing for a long time, voicing his true thoughts.
Above the sea of clouds, below the sky.
Like a Deity, the giant of light silently listened to Gu Qing Shan's words.
"Become stronger? Is that what you desire the most? "he asked.
"That is right" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The giant of light continued: 「 But the Laws of the infinite worlds would not accept a powerful entity that suddenly appeared, Causality also has its own rules, it can only be done step by step, not in one go 」
「 We are no longer here, we cannot grant you the power to instantly become strong 」
「 However, among the gifts we have prepared, there is indeed one that can grant your wish and help you become stronger 」
「 — — you will become extremely powerful, but this will require a certain amount of time, as well as your own effort and struggle. You will have to put in more blood and sweat than others, go through more training and cultivation, only then will you be able to become the King above the Myriad Kings 」
「 Hard work will be rewarded, hard work will be rewarded, only after suffering will you be happy, this is the Law of Causality in accordance with the Laws of the infinite worlds 」
「 If you don't put in more than ten times the effort of others, this gift would not be of any use at all 」
「 Are you willing to accept such a gift? 」
"I am" Gu Qing Shan answered without hesitation.
Hearing that, the giant of light slightly nodded.
「 In accordance with your desire to become stronger, we have created such an Effect — — - 」
The giant of light raised his hand.
All of the light above Gu Qing Shan's head flowed like water into the giant of light's palm.
The intense light quickly turned into a statue that gave off a faint cracking sound.
As Gu Qing Shan focused her gaze, she saw that the statue had a single body, but four heads that faced four different directions.
On top of the four heads, there were four more heads that also faced four different directions.
This scene continued for seven levels, all the way to the very top of the statue where a single head appeared.
At first glance, this statue looked a bit terrifying, but upon closer inspection, one would feel an indescribable sense of enlightenment.
Holding the statue in his hand, the giant of light spoke.
「 Within the infinite worlds, there is a fundamental Law 」
「 For the sake of balance within the infinite worlds, and to a certain degree, to suppress the overgrowth of living beings, a certain Law exists deep within the soul of all living beings 」
「 This Law is: The soul cannot be distracted — — the more you are distracted, the lower you can reach in a certain domain 」
Hearing the giant of light's words, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but nod.
He recalled the Suspended world, as well as the 'Sword and Blade dual master' Tian Shan Ye.
To train his swordsmanship and Blade to perfection, Tian Shan Ye had even used a soul splitting technique to split his soul into two.
But the side effect of doing so was that, just like Hazeden of the Sky Haze Empire, he had to constantly endure the pain of his soul splitting.
Enduring such pain would only allow him to cultivate one more Dao, and as the strength of his soul vessel weakened, his weakened soul vessel would become vulnerable to attacks from others.
That was why Gu Qing Shan had never considered using a soul splitting technique while he was in the Suspended world.
The giant of light continued:
「 And now, I have infused the power of the Old Gods into the Law of Causality to form this Soul Key of Liberation 」
「 This artifact will completely release the restraining Laws of your soul 」
「 From now on, aside from swordsmanship, you will be able to practice any Skill, walk any Dao, and not be restricted by the Laws of the infinite worlds, becoming an outstanding existence in any domain 」
「 If you put in enough effort and sweat, you will become the most talented wielder of War God Authority 」
After saying so, the giant of light tossed the statue towards Gu Qing Shan.
As the statue landed on top of Gu Qing Shan's head, it turned into a blinding light that entered between his eyebrows.
— — boom!
Although Gu Qing Shan was hovering in mid-air, he could feel his entire body trembling intensely.
Somehow, something deep within his soul vessel seemed to have been unlocked.
Immediately, this change in him was noticed by the world itself.
An intense fluctuation appeared between heaven and earth — — -
Even within the billions of worlds, boundless fluctuations appeared one after another.
They bypassed the boundaries of Space and Time, directly appearing in Triste's collection world, merging with the fluctuations of this world to form a huge impact force.
This force was invisible and formless, nothing in the world could stop it.
— — -if it wanted to, the entire world could be reduced to dust in front of it!
The invisible force violently crashed into Gu Qing Shan's body.
Gu Qing Shan felt himself being completely enveloped by this immense power.
This mighty force was gradually entering his divine soul from his body, and his entire body was frozen, unable to even move a finger.
At this point, the giant of light spoke.
「 Don't worry, the deeper Laws of the world have sensed your change 」
「 The Laws of the 900 million World Layers are currently gathering to fully suppress the release of your soul, but your release has received permission from the Creator Gods, so you can pass this obstacle 」
Following the giant of light's words, the faint image of the Soul Key manifested and enveloped Gu Qing Shan's body.
The image of the statue with countless heads instantly crumbled.
In an instant, the immense power that completely suppressed Gu Qing Shan also dissipated.
