Boom!
The blinding light of the sun continued to shine.
Under the destructive light of the spell, the entire library slowly crumbled and turned to ash.
The wizard stood in the middle of the ruins, furious.
Damn it!
One of my Divine Armaments was stolen!
Although I already knew that buildings blessed by the Old Gods would be able to block my senses, how could I have known that the Old Gods would hide something inside the walls?
But now that I've discovered this — — -
The wizard swung his scepter.
The secret power of the spell was activated, manifesting into streaks of light that crashed into the other buildings.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The buildings were flattened one after another.
But there were too many buildings, even on top of the mountain far away, there were still many buildings.
The wizard continued to cast his spell without stopping.
The light of the spell illuminated the entire labyrinth.
The wind blew, the snowflakes danced in the air, the apocalyptic scene continued.
— — until the door of the corridor opened again.
The black-skinned man appeared.
The wizard stopped and looked at him.
"Bastard, let go of my wife and child!" the black-skinned man angrily shouted.
The wizard coldly replied: "You were all captured by the Old Gods, what does that have to do with me?"
"You've imprisoned our souls and taken control of our bodies" the black-skinned man gritted his teeth.
The wizard suddenly laughed: "Those who should die are dead, those who can live will naturally live"
The black-skinned man was surprised, unable to understand what the other party was talking about.
He didn't say anything else and charged forward to fight the wizard.
On the other side of the labyrinth.
Almost every building had been flattened by the spell.
In a secluded area, a butterfly was hiding on a branch behind a large tree.
It had retracted its wings, tightly holding onto the edge of the leaf so that it wouldn't be blown away by the wind and snow.
Gu Qing Shan.
He silently watched as the wizard destroyed the buildings until the black-skinned man arrived.
"Those who should die are dead, those who can live will naturally live …"
He silently chewed on this.
What does it mean to die?
What does it mean to live?
What kind of standard does the monster use to determine a person's life and death?
While Gu Qing Shan was pondering this question, Xiaoxi's voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
"Gu Qing Shan, it destroyed all these buildings. Did it destroy the remaining two divine artifacts as well?"
Xiaoxi's voice was a bit nervous.
Gu Qing Shan regained her senses and said: "I heard that the Sorcerer's attacks originate from the web of Laws, it's extremely powerful and can easily destroy everything"
Xiaoxi was surprised, "You know? Wait a minute! You took the divine artifact but left behind a trace. Did you want it to destroy the building? "
Gu Qing Shan replied: "That's right, but I also need it to be angry. When any creature is angry, they will unknowingly reveal something, this way we can better understand it"
Little Dusk asked: "What about these buildings? The divine artifact might have been destroyed — — wait, you know where the other two divine artifacts are! "
Gu Qing Shan explained: "The second divine artifact is hidden underneath the clock tower, the monster just helped us push the tower to the ground. Look, it's the second building on our left, it's a product of Alchemy, there's no way to enter it, but there must be an underground tunnel, we can go down now"
Xiaoxi: "You … used the monster to push the tower …"
"Let's go, we're going to take the second divine artifact" Gu Qing Shan said.
The butterfly took its chance, lightly flew up, landed on a snowflake, and floated down into the thick layer of snow.
The butterfly was nowhere to be seen.
A gopher appeared under the layer of snow.
It held its breath, clenched its claws, formed a presence concealment hand seal, then hesitated for a bit before turning into an even smaller ant.
The ant activated its skill towards the clock tower.
It suddenly disappeared.
A snowflake appeared where the ant originally was, while the ant replaced that snowflake and silently hid under another layer of snow.
From the surface, the layer of snow was still and silent without any signs of movement.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
The ant itself wasn't even the size of a fingernail, but with the presence concealment hand seal and [Shadow Shift], it was as if it didn't exist at all.
After the ant moved once, it temporarily stopped moving.
It stayed close to the ground, listening.
On the other side of the labyrinth, the battle was reaching its climax.
The wizard was already unable to stop the black-skinned man's ferocious attacks, so he took a few steps back and turned into a statue.
A second later, another Abyss of Sin guard arrived.
— — the monster had changed its body.
This time, it chose a slender shadow assassin.
The assassin wielded a pair of long daggers, staggered forward a few steps and reached the black-skinned man's back.
A cold gleam.
Kih!
The daggers clashed with the stinger, giving off a crisp sound of air being pierced.
The assassin went back into the shadows.
The man roared and chased after it.
The battle resumed!
On the other side.
The ant crouched on the snow-covered ground and waited for two breaths' worth of time.
When the assassin and the man clashed again, the ant immediately used [Shadow Shift].
This time, it went straight to where the clock tower used to be.
— — -sure enough, there was a staircase leading downwards in the ruins.
The ant climbed down the staircase.
The tunnel was very deep, so in just a few minutes, it had turned into a vertical path.
The ant was a bit impatient, leapt up, and flew down towards the depths of the tunnel.
In just a few moments, it reached the bottom.
This was a simple storage room, filled with various old alchemy equipment.
After so many years, all of this equipment had decayed to the point where it couldn't be used anymore.
The ant avoided the equipment, crawled to the middle of the storage room, and sensed around.
It quickly found that place.
It was an unassuming piece of brick in the corner of the room.
The ant crawled over, touched the brick with its antennae, and sensed the presence of an item created by God.
After confirming, the ant retreated a bit.
A sword appeared out of nowhere above the ant and lightly tapped the brick.
The brick gave off an invisible fluctuation, as if sensing what kind of entity the attack was coming from.
Crack!
The brick broke down into grains of sand, scattering all over the ground.
A luxurious palm-sized box suddenly appeared.
Gu Qing Shan dispelled [Mystery of All Beings Equal] and put the box away.
With a flip of his hand, he took out an array disc and set up all sorts of aura isolation and tracking arrays. Then, he set up a teleportation array.
After everything was done, he took out the two boxes.
Two boxes.
One from the library, the other from the clock tower.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the boxes in silence.
"What are you hesitating for?" Little Xi couldn't help but ask.
"I feel like something's strange" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What's strange about it?"
"Little Xi, when you sealed this monster all those years ago, you used up all of your power, that's why the Divinities managed to subdue you and sealed you away, isn't that right?"
"That's right"
"That's what's strange" Gu Qing Shan slowly explained, "at the time, your power far surpassed that of the Divinities, even you had to use up all of your power to seal the monster away — — and now, the Divinities are gone, how could they possibly seal the monster away with just three Divine Armaments?"
Little Xi froze, then pondered: "Perhaps during the time I was sealed away, the seven Daemons had gained even more power and could easily seal this monster away"
"That's even more strange, if the seven Daemons were really that powerful, how could they have died?"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan's expression became serious.
"The information we have right now is too limited, so I can only make three hypotheses"
"First, the seven Daemons aren't dead, they were already powerful enough to seal this monster away, so why didn't they show up? I'm guessing that for some reason, they're hiding in the shadows, preparing something, so these three Divine Armaments are actually under their control, that's why they have the power to seal the monster away "
"Second, the seven Daemons aren't dead, but just like before, they still don't have the power to seal the monster away"
"Third, the seven Daemons are dead, their power is unable to fight against the greater evil. Following this, we can assume that they haven't become much stronger, in other words, they're still weaker than you were back then "
"If it's the first case, we naturally don't need to worry too much; but if it's the second or third case, then these three Divine Armaments must have some sort of use that we don't know about"
While they were talking, Gu Qing Shan opened the two boxes.
The two Divine Armaments silently laid inside.
Only one more Divine Armaments was left before everything would be over.
According to what the figure of light said, the monster would be sealed away again, and as the wielder of the Divine Armaments, Gu Qing Shan would receive an unparalleled reward — — - he would become a Demigod.
And Gu Qing Shan knew exactly where the third Divine Armament was.
If it had been someone else, they would have rushed out like a madman to retrieve the final artifact and seal the monster as soon as possible.
But Gu Qing Shan didn't.
He stared at the two Divine Armaments with a worried expression on his face.
Noticing his worried expression, Little Xi consoled him: "What are you worried about? Don't worry, although the Divinities like to arrange a lot of things, they won't act against mortals like you. In fact, they really like mortals like you who help them seal away evil "
"You can't think like that, Little Xi, you have to remember one thing, we can never entrust our fate to the likes and dislikes of the Divinities"
"… I'll keep that in mind"
Gu Qing Shan muttered: "The current situation is that we can't tell what the Divinities are thinking, nor can we be sure what will happen after the three Divine Armaments are gathered, so we have to stop." “
"Stop?"
