Within the space vortex.
Two airships crashed into a barren world.
The Holy Church of Death's Holy Officials and the Holy Church of Fate's knights were all gathered together, not allowed to move a single step.
An unprecedentedly intense battle was still going on a few thousand meters away from them.
Boom!
The shockwave from the battle between the two men spread far away, turning into a violent gale that swept everyone within it.
The leader of the Holy Church of Death loudly asked: "When will your higher-ups arrive?"
The Holy Church of Fate's knight helplessly replied: "I'm not sure, we've already sent out an emergency message, they should be here soon"
He looked at the Holy Church of Death and also asked: "Where are your higher-ups? When will they arrive? "
The Holy Church of Death appeared bitter: "Even if their higher-ups arrive, they won't be able to do anything, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop her this time"
The two of them exchanged glances and couldn't help but feel worried.
They were still fine when they parted, but then lady Su Cher ordered her ship to chase after the Holy Church of Death's ship.
And then the battle erupted.
At first, everyone attacked.
But Anna and Su Cher both shouted at them to stop.
After that, as the two of them fought, through their words, everyone understood that this was a personal grudge between the two of them.
— — no, it should be a very special kind of hostility.
There was nothing they could do. Not only did they have no way to interfere, they didn't even have the words to persuade them.
Not to mention that they were far weaker than them, they could only watch as they fought.
A few thousand meters away.
Anna and Su Cher were still locked in combat.
From time to time, the dusky radiance and the deathly black flames would collide with each other, erupting into world-destroying shockwaves.
Seeing that they were in a stalemate, Su Cher gritted her teeth and went all out.
Not to be outdone, Anna also unleashed her full power.
The battle slowly became more intense.
Finally, Su Cher's scepter was placed in front of Anna's neck, while Anna's scythe was also placed in front of Su Cher's neck.
At this point, something suddenly happened in the billions of Worlds.
The figure of light appeared.
It began to praise the old man and Gu Qing Shan in front of all living beings in the 200 million Worlds of the Strife Zones.
Seeing the scene in the sky, Su Xue Er and Anna finally stopped.
They continued to watch until that moment.
Gu Qing Shan sank into the quicksand and was sealed by the gods.
— — the Gods had only given him ten minutes of power.
After that, he would be devoured by evil and die a miserable death.
The strange phenomenon in the sky gradually subsided, and the image of that world completely disappeared.
It was all over.
With the Divinities personally taking action, Gu Qing Shan's fate has already been sealed.
The two women stood rooted to the spot, motionless.
"Qingshan …"
Su Cher knelt on the ground as tears flowed down her cheeks.
The next moment, she crashed into the edge of the Dark Scythe without hesitation.
"What are you doing!" Anna scolded.
She took a few steps back and raised her scythe high to prevent Su Cher from touching the dark flames on the blade.
Su Cher shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "He is the only thing I care about in this world. Now that he has left, I have to find him."
Anna was moved and looked at Su Cher, unable to say anything.
Su Cher put her scepter away, took out a cold gleaming dagger, and slashed it towards her own neck.
As the dagger was about to cut through Su Cher's neck, Anna acted.
Kih!
The dagger was knocked away.
Su Cher was still crying as she looked up at Anna in surprise.
"Didn't you want to kill me? Isn't this exactly what you wanted?" Su Cher asked.
Anna shouted: "Idiot! I can't be bothered to deal with a woman like you who wants to die so easily "
Su Cher smiled sorrowfully, but her expression was a bit warm.
"Anna, I know that you seem cold and emotionless, but you're actually a very kind girl, otherwise you wouldn't have saved me back then … Very well, the matter between us is now over, I'm going to accept my own fate, I hope you won't stop me" she said.
Layers of mist appeared from her body, slowly forming a card in the void of space.
This card depicted a holy angel. The angel was kneeling on one knee, holding a golden apple with both hands.
Su Cher said: "I will immediately activate this Martyrdom card, using my death in exchange for an Age of Blessings"
"Anna, I will grant it to you, it will grant you true luck in many matters"
"This is my reward for your pure kindness."
"Anna, I'm going to find Qing Shan now, farewell"
While saying so, Su Cher was about to touch the card.
"Idiot!"
Anna rushed forward, grabbed Su Cher's neck, and dragged her several dozen meters away.
Having lost Su Cher's control, the Martyrdom card hovering in the air slowly faded away.
"Why do you care about my business!?"
Su Cher coughed and loudly questioned.
Anna opened her furious eyes wide and glared at Su Cher: "I really can't stand you, he's not dead yet, but you want to die first"
Su Cher was still crying and shook her head: "There's only 10 minutes, the power and calculations of the Divinities would never go wrong, Qing Shan would definitely be killed by the great evil that was sealed away within that time — — I've read the historical records of the church, that thing that was sealed away is something that even the Divinities are afraid of, Qing Shan wouldn't be able to escape"
Anna sighed and spoke with a complicated expression: "At least wait until I'm sure he's dead before you die"
She continued: "Crybaby, don't worry, no one will be able to stop you when the time comes"
Su Xue Er was stunned, her eyes that were filled with despair suddenly had a glimmer of hope.
"You … what exactly do you mean?" Su Cher asked.
Anna waved her hand dismissively and replied: "It's only 10 minutes, 7-8 minutes have already passed, let's just wait here and see"
Su Cher couldn't help but ask: "How can we be sure that Qing Shan isn't dead?"
Anna answered: "If you see me dead later, that means he's dead as well"
Su Cher froze again.
"I don't understand" Su Cher slowly spoke.
Her expression was full of confusion, no longer showing the determination to die like before.
Anna explained: "A few thousand years ago, our Medici clan became related to the God of Death and obtained a Divine Artifact"
"What Divine Artifact?" Su Cher asked.
"The God of Death's relic, the Life Substitution Contract" Anna answered.
Su Cher thought for a bit: "That sounds familiar, I think it was a very famous item back in the day, wait a minute … I remember now!"
She stared at Anna.
"That's right, it's exactly as you think" Anna casually answered.
She didn't avoid Su Cher's gaze at all and continued: "At the very last moment of the Frost Calamity, he became the Devil King, led the dead of Huang Quan to completely drive away the demons, then left our original world"
"What happened at the time?" Su Cher quickly asked.
Anna replied nonchalantly: "I casually hung the Life Substitution Contract on his neck"
Su Cher immediately answered: "For those who have the Life Substitution Contract, the God of Death will prolong their life at the moment of their death, this miraculous ability isn't free, the Law of Death will absorb twice the life force of the last person who had the Life Substitution Contract"
Anna nodded: "That's right, this was a Life or Death Contract between me and him, if I died in front of you, he wouldn't be far from death"
"But if I'm fine …"
Su Cher shouted: "Then he's not dead either!"
She worriedly asked: "But what if he took the Life Substitution Contract off his neck, or gave it to someone else?"
"The Divine Artifact is still with him — — because I can feel that my life is still connected to his" Anna patiently explained: "Furthermore, if he doesn't wear the Life Substitution Contract and is killed by the sealed evil, then the Life Substitution Contract will return to my hand"
Su Cher began to count the time.
"It's been nine minutes," she said softly.
"Hm" Anna replied.
"One more minute, I'll be watching over you" Su Cher said.
She took out a Card and threw it out.
Bam!
The Card turned into an ancient clock that let out a clicking sound.
The second hand moved one tick at a time.
Anna and Su Cher both looked at the clock.
They went silent.
This final minute became incredibly long.
Su Cher was becoming more and more nervous, as the second hand moved past half a circle, she couldn't help but grab Anna's hand tightly.
"Please, nothing will happen to you"
Su Cher's eyes were red, about to burst into tears again.
Anna was also very nervous, but she forced herself to stay calm and clenched her teeth: "I'll be fine, you have to trust Qing Shan"
If the Life Substitution Contract appears on her body, or if she turns into ash, it would mean that Gu Qing Shan is dead.
The second hand continued to move forward one tick.
Another tick.
Su Cher suddenly called out: "Anna"
"What?" Anna stared closely at the clock and asked.
"If Qing Shan isn't dead, you would've saved my life again just now" Su Cher said.
"It's nothing, don't think too much about it" Anna said.
"If Qing Shan isn't dead … I won't kill you again, I swear" Su Cher said.
Anna scoffed: "You're clearly a crybaby, an idiot who only knows how to seek death, and you're always talking about killing people, why would Qing Shan like you?"
"I take back what I said just now!" Su Cher said.
"Ah? Didn't you swear? "Anna asked.
"A woman's vow never counts" Su Cher replied.
The two of them bickered, but their voices were filled with tension, even Anna's voice was trembling.
Because the final moment had arrived.
The second hand moved again.
A full circle.
10 minutes had passed.
According to the Divinity, Gu Qing Shan had already lost the protection of the Divinity and would have to face that terrifying evil directly.
Su Cher couldn't help but hug Anna tightly.
"Don't die, I beg you, I'll do anything you want, just don't die"
She leaned on Anna's shoulder, crying as she begged.
Anna let go of the scythe in her hand and lightly hugged Su Cher.
She didn't say a word, but her tears were already flowing.
Click.
Click.
Click.
The only sound left in the world was the sound of the second hand.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
Every minute felt like a century.
But after another 10 minutes, for Su Cher and Anna, the long and torturous time slowly passed by.
Su Cher covered her mouth and asked while crying: "Is he still alive?"
