Inside the ruins.
20 minutes had passed.
"If it really was a battle, it wouldn't have lasted for so long, Qing Shan must have thought of a way to coexist with that evil creature" Su Cher concluded.
Anna turned around to leave, angrily muttering: "Damn Divinity, he almost killed my Qing Shan, I want to leave the Holy Church of Death — — I want to find him right away!"
"Wait a minute"
Su Cher stopped her.
"Don't stop me!" Anna angrily shouted.
Su Cher wasn't angry and only spoke seriously: "That place has already been sealed by the Divinities, how are you going to get there by yourself? How are you going to undo the seal? If a battle breaks out, how are you going to deal with it? Can you win against that evil creature? "
Anna froze, then resolutely declared: "I don't care, I'm going to save him!"
Su Cher pulled her back again and spoke with a firm tone: "You won't be able to save him like this, you might even draw the attention of the Divinities and cause more trouble for him — — don't you even understand such a simple fact?"
"Do you have a better solution?" Anna asked.
"Of course" Su Cher replied.
She pulled Anna in front of her and whispered: "If Qing Shan isn't dead, then with his abilities, he should be fine for now, you have to believe that he can do this"
Anna nodded.
With Gu Qing Shan's past actions, this was definitely trustworthy.
Su Cher sincerely said: "Truthfully, what we should really do is think of a way to eliminate that bastard who carried out the will of the seven Divinities"
Anna froze.
She asked: "You mean the figure of light?"
Su Cher softly replied: "That's right, it was the one who attacked Qing Shan, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't kill it. If the seven Divinities could be revived, I would really want to kill them all"
"Why don't we go save Qing Shan and instead kill it first?" Anna asked in confusion.
Su Cher patiently explained: "If we go save Qing Shan now, what would happen? Between you and me, who would have the ability to undo the seal of the Divinities? If we were lucky enough to escape and get caught by the figure of light, all three of us would die — — even if we managed to escape its attention, would we be hunted down by the people of the seven Holy Churches? In that case, death will be our final outcome. "
Su Cher grabbed Anna's hand tightly and spoke without hesitation: "You can't leave the Holy Church of Death, and I won't leave the Holy Church of Fate. From now on, we need to borrow the power of the Holy Church to become even stronger, as well as gather information about the figure of light from within the Holy Church. It would be best if we can find the figure of light's weakness and kill it the next time it appears"
Su Cher looked at Anna. "I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to do this alone. Are you willing to work with me?"
Anna listened quietly and gradually fell into deep thought.
Under Su Cher's hopeful gaze, she slowly nodded.
The other side.
Thousands of meters away from them.
The two fleets of spaceships had already landed.
The bigwigs from the two temples hurriedly jumped down from the spaceship.
"Where are they?" a cardinal of the Holy Church of Death shouted.
"Over there, they were fighting quite intensely just now, they seem to be quarreling right now!" the knight who was stationed here hurriedly pointed.
The bigwigs all looked in the direction he pointed.
A few moments later, they froze.
Only to see Su Cher and Anna standing side by side, seriously talking to each other as they slowly approached from afar.
Perhaps they didn't even notice themselves, but their hands were still holding each other's hands.
"They … seem to be fine"
The Holy Grand Knight of the Holy Church of Fate muttered.
…
Inside the seal.
The flowing sand was covered by the black tide of light.
Countless sharp dark blades surrounded Gu Qing Shan, ready to unleash their final attack.
But they all stopped around Gu Qing Shan's body without piercing him.
Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out and lightly flicked one of the blades.
"You won't be able to get me to take you out with that attitude"
He spoke in the Desolate language.
In the blink of an eye, all the dark blades of light were reduced to nothingness.
A tidal wave of darkness rose from the ground.
A figure slowly stood up from the darkness, giving off a bright glow.
Gu Qing Shan observed the figure with a surprised expression.
Because the figure was the figure of light.
They were exactly the same without any flaws.
The figure of light spoke in the Desolate language in a low voice: 「 Can you feel it? Gu Qing Shan, death is approaching you 」
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Really?"
「 You dared to go against the Gods, the only outcome is death 」 the figure of light replied.
Gu Qing Shan calmly replied: "You are not it"
「 Why not? 」 the figure of light asked.
「 Because it won't trap itself here, in front of you 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
The figure of light went silent.
Like molten iron, its entire body plunged into the dark tide of light.
Following that, another figure stood up from the black tide.
Gu Qing Shan.
Another Gu Qing Shan.
This Gu Qing Shan had his eyes closed, seemingly silently comprehending something.
He softened his voice and slowly muttered: 「 Such a calm and indifferent appearance, but filled with unimaginable anger and sorrow 」
"You can read my emotions?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The other 'Gu Qing Shan' opened his eyes and stared straight at him: "You were angry because you couldn't stop the Divinities' scheme, you were sad because the Angel of Condemnation left, you desperately wanted to become stronger, you wanted to kill the Divinities"
He spoke with satisfaction: 「 Very well, very well, I agree with your decision, as well as half of your emotions 」
"Which half?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 The first half 」 the entity replied.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then asked: "I heard that Little Dusk is the only one who isn't afraid of you, so you don't agree with her staying?"
「 Of course! She made me feel helpless 」
Gu Qing Shan mused: "You can sense my emotions, sense the strongest desire in my heart, and turn into an entity exactly like me"
The entity laughed in a frenzy: 「 Ahahahaha! If it was that simple, why would the Gods be afraid of me and seal me away!? 」
"Then why?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The entity looked at him and grinned: 「 I've never been afraid of others knowing my abilities, because it's useless even if they know 」
「 As long as any living being has a strong desire, I can follow that desire, enter their body, seal their soul, and take control of their body 」
"What about the Gods?"
「 Even the Gods are no exception!
」 Gu Qing Shan quickly explained: "So that's how it is, all living beings have obsessions and desires, but Little Dusk was born pure without any obsessions or desires, so you can't do anything to her"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "If that's the case, your ability is very powerful, so you're invincible in a one-on-one situation, but if there were too many enemies, you wouldn't have a better way to deal with them — — that's why you weren't able to defend the labyrinth"
He then confirmed: "Based on this deduction, it doesn't explain the Gods' fear of you, there must be some other reason why you were sealed away"
Gu Qing Shan stared at him for a long while before disappearing into the tide of darkness.
A figure of light whose entire body gave off a dark glow appeared.
The dark figure of light spoke with a deep and low voice:
「 Gu Qing Shan, I know what happened outside just now 」
「 I also understand your killing intent towards the Gods — — - that's exactly the same as me 」
「 Regarding the seal, I need to see your sincerity, otherwise, no matter how much we talk here, if I can't get out in the end, everything would be a waste of effort 」
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened.
He didn't say a single word and simply grabbed a sword from the void of space.
The sword was as clear as the water of autumn.
The dark figure of light stared closely at the sword and spoke in surprise: 「 This is the Samsara sword … it was actually completed … 」
Gu Qing Shan wielded the sword, leapt up high, and lightly tapped the void of space.
Golden light erupted!
Countless dignified divine runes stacked on top of one another, all of them activated in an instant.
These divine runes only manifested for a brief moment, but after confirming that there were no further attacks, they silently went back down.
— — -a single tap of the sword was enough to trigger the barrier of Divinity to actively defend itself, it was clear how powerful this sword was.
Or rather, this sword was specifically a sword that could cut through all Laws, which was why the barrier of Divinity reacted so strongly.
"This is my sincerity" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He let go of the sword and let it hover by his side.
The dark figure of light went silent.
「 After countless years, I've been trapped inside this seal since I was born, and now I can finally leave 」 he muttered in a low voice.
"Now isn't a good time to leave" Gu Qing Shan said.
The dark figure of light abruptly looked up and sternly questioned: 「 Why? 」
Gu Qing Shan pointed above her head: "Isn't it obvious? It's most likely still in the outside world, silently observing this place "
The dark figure of light instantly went silent.
That's right, that guy replaced the Divinity.
It wasn't a normal guy.
Using the three Desolate Divine Armaments, it could seal itself away at any time!
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Once it notices us leaving, it will immediately kill me. That way, when it seals you again, you won't be able to leave"
The dark figure of light anxiously paced back and forth.
After watching it for a while, Gu Qing Shan said: "You have to help me, I definitely can't be killed by it, otherwise everything will be over"
The dark figure of light abruptly stopped: 「 How do you want me to help you? 」
"Let's make two things clear first" Gu Qing Shan said: "First, that figure of light isn't one of the seven Daemons, and it doesn't represent their will, right?"
The dark figure of light asked in return: 「 What do you think is a God? 」
"A type of entity whose power has reached a level that mortals can't even comprehend 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
The dark figure of light replied: 「 More or less. According to our classification, powerful entities that can create living beings and worlds are called Divinities 」
"Then, what is the figure of light's identity?"
「 It is the same type of Divinities, it can't create living beings or worlds, but its power is greater than that of Divinities, and also more dangerous 」
「 Why did you get sealed away by it just now? It should be afraid of you 」
「 It has already found the three Desolate Divine Armaments! I have no way to deal with those three! 」
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Very well, now that we know who the enemy is, let's move on to the most important question"
He continued to ask: "Before I entered the labyrinth, it gave me a coin that can only be used once to travel through time for 5 minutes"
The dark figure of light scoffed in disdain.
Gu Qing Shan acted like she didn't hear it and continued to ask: "Why did it give me such a thing to deal with you? Why not armor, weapons, spell scrolls, or other offensive or defensive items, but that coin? "
Gu Qing Shan asked further: "If the difference in power is too great, even if I can travel through time once in 5 minutes, I still won't be able to win, so why did it give me that coin that can be used to travel through time?"
「 Do you want to know? 」 the dark figure of light asked.
「 I have to know, this is the only point where it is wary and fearful of you, otherwise it wouldn't have given me such a precious thing 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Precious … 」 the dark figure of light mocked.
「 Indeed, it took the coin back in the end, so it must have treasured this coin a lot 」 Gu Qing Shan commented.
The dark figure of light went silent for a while.
「 Because … it thought that this coin would be able to stop me from doing that thing 」 it finally said.
"What thing?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Space-Time Infiltration, a Mystic Skill that I can only use once in my life, in fact, the Gods are afraid of me because of this 」 the dark figure of light replied.
"Space-Time Infiltration?" Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
「 There was once a prophecy, saying that this skill that I can only use once in my life will become a threat to their existence 」
The dark figure of light stared closely at Gu Qing Shan, its voice became tense and restrained: 「 Now, I want to ask you a question 」
"Very well" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 If you were to travel back in time to a certain point in the past 7 days, would you be able to find a way to safely leave the seal? 」 the dark figure of light asked.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
He suddenly realized a possibility.
So …
Then …
No wonder the figure of light gave me that coin!
"This kind of … travel … is there a limit?" Gu Qing Shan also became anxious.
At this moment, he couldn't help but tremble.
This was an emotion he had never felt before!
「 Of course there is, you must do something that you have never done before in order to not affect Space-Time, only then will you be able to return alive 」 the dark figure of light replied.
"In other words, I can't touch the things that have already happened, I can only do things that are related to myself?"
「 Yes, secretly go, secretly return, everything that is related to you and that has already happened cannot be touched, otherwise the Law of Space-Time will immediately erase you to calm the chaos of the timeline 」
"If you have such a great ability, why don't you use it on yourself?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Because my entire life has been sealed away, I can't return to any point in time. In truth, the Gods are most afraid of me allowing their opponents to return to the past, so I'm currently doing that 」 the dark figure of light replied.
"Understood"
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head in thought for a bit.
"I've thought of a certain point in time" he muttered.
「 Will it allow you to safely leave the seal? 」 the dark figure of light asked.
"Yes, it will definitely be able to" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The dark figure of light looked at him and silently spoke: 「 Remember this well, if you dare to lie to me, I will make sure you suffer the worst torture for all eternity 」
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out: "Trust me, I will take you out"
The dark figure of light hesitantly spoke: 「 I heard from the living beings on the surface that the promises of humans are the most untrustworthy 」
Gu Qing Shan replied: "You've seen my emotions and thoughts, you know what I want to do, so you only need to trust me, I also want to leave this place alive"
The dark figure of light thought for a bit and took his hand.
「 Remember, you must find a way to leave this place alive before you can return 」 he spoke with a serious tone.
"I only have a single extremely dangerous method. If I don't return, that means I died in the past, I can only apologize to you" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 You will definitely return 」 the dark figure of light replied.
"Hm?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
The dark figure of light replied: 「 While being immersed in time, you will have 800 chances to redo at the point of your choice, you must find a way! 」
800 … times.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
"Don't underestimate me, in truth, I only need a single chance" Gu Qing Shan firmly told him.
The dark figure of light silently looked at him.
Gu Qing Shan hesitated briefly, then replied: "At most two chances"
The dark figure of light then continued: 「 Whenever you miss the chance and are unable to redeem yourself, please kill yourself right away, that way you will be able to return to this place and I will send you back to that point of time again 」
"Got it"
"When can I start?"
「 Right now 」
Oong — — — — -
With a resounding sound, the tide of dark light surrounded Gu Qing Shan.
He slowly fell into the abyss of dark light, as if he was submerged in an endless ocean.
— — this place was filled with darkness that couldn't be measured by time or space.
Within the past 7 days, everything that Gu Qing Shan experienced flashed through his mind.
Time seemed to be flowing backward.
Gu Qing Shan stared at these scenes in a daze. Until the beginning of the 7 days.
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and lost all signs of life.
Opening his eyes.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly found himself still standing in the middle of the tide of darkness.
"Just now …" he doubtfully asked.
「 You died 」 the dark figure of light replied.
"Why?"
「 Because you exceeded the limit of 7 days, the Law of Time killed you, you now have 799 chances left 」
"… Sorry, I was too shocked, I admit I made a low-level mistake, I won't do it again" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The dark figure of light shook his head and asked: 「 Continue? 」
"Continue" Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth.
Boom!
The tide of darkness once again surrounded him.
Within the endless tide of darkness, he once again traveled back to the past.
Travel …
All of a sudden, a mountainous maw appeared from the darkness, sucking him and the other unknown entities around him in.
Gu Qing Shan's vision darkened.
Opening his eyes.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly found himself still standing in the middle of the tide of darkness.
"Just now …" he doubtfully asked.
「 The monster in the fog of Space-Time could also be considered your Deity — — - a certain kind of Deity, it ate you 」 the dark figure of light silently replied.
"Does that count as a Deity?" Gu Qing Shan was in disbelief.
「 Living beings have always worshipped things that they can't understand, it has always been like that 」 the dark figure of light replied.
"I don't think so" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 You have 798 chances left 」 the dark figure of light replied.
Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth: "Again!"
"Got it"
Boom!
The tide of darkness once again surrounded him.
Within the endless abyss of darkness, he once again traveled back to the past.
Scenes of the past flashed in front of his eyes.
At a certain point, Gu Qing Shan finally found the crucial moment he wanted to return to.
He used all of his strength to ram into the scene.
Bam!
The scene broke into countless pieces.
Complete darkness.
Slowly, he heard sound and light.
The sound of thunder continued to resound, the flashes of lightning illuminated the entire hall.
Opening his eyes.
Gu Qing Shan found himself back in Bai Hua Palace.
Hundred Flowers Fairy was standing in front of him, sending her voice:
"Because of that, if you want to repair the Earth sword, you must enter the Primordial Heaven Realm and search for the Earth sword's twin swords"
"That sword is called Heaven, the Heaven sword"
