When Gu Qing Shan left.
The Xie Qi Fiend Realm.
The battle in the sky was still going on.
But the Golden Flame Divinity had already searched through the entire Xie Qi Fiend Realm.
There were no humans in this realm.
— — if this was during the era of humanity's prosperity, the Primordial Heaven Realm, it would have been very difficult for him to find Gu Qing Shan.
But now, Gu Qing Shan was the only human cultivator in the entire Primordial Wraith Realm. She was like a white pearl in a pile of coal, extremely eye-catching.
The Golden Flame Divinity could easily find Gu Qing Shan through the spirit energy fluctuations of a cultivator.
But he couldn't sense any spirit energy fluctuations from a cultivator.
The Golden Flame Divinity pondered and gestured to the figure of light.
The Divinities slowly retreated.
In the end, while fighting against the Fiend King, they retreated from the Xie Qi Fiend Realm.
After the Xie Qi Fiend King forced the Divinities to retreat, his reputation skyrocketed in the Primordial Wraith Realm.
…
After returning to the Primordial Heaven Realm, the Golden Flame Divinity held the Desolate coin in his hand.
Seeing that, the figure of light said: 「 The coin has taken you through two phantom image warps in a row, it can't be used again for now 」
The Golden Flame Divinity roared unwillingly.
— — I really don't know where Gu Qing Shan went.
Did he leave the Xie Qi Fiend Realm and go to another Wraith Realm?
Or did he directly leave this phantom image?
— — there were countless phantom images, and there were thousands of Wraith Realms.
Either way, it wasn't easy to find him.
At this point, the figure of light spoke again: 「 Go back, there's no need to stay here 」
「 Why? I still haven't killed him 」 the Golden Flame Divinity replied.
「 You don't need to kill him, leave the rest to me 」
「 Do you have any good ideas?
」 The figure of light replied: 「 During the Age of Old, we don't know exactly what humanity did at the very last moment, but we know that these phantom images were set up to conceal something 」
「 That's why, even though we don't know where humanity was hiding at the very last moment, we used many methods and managed to find a few intermediate links that they set up in the phantom images 」
「 Within those unique phantom images, we had already prepared a way to completely destroy those phantom images 」
"Now, since we can't find out where that person is, and we can't learn the last secret of the Human Race from him, we'll activate all means and destroy the secret links that the Human Race has set up."
"In this way, although we won't be able to find out the secret, the cultivator you're chasing will also be unable to reach the final secret."
"This matter has been completely severed."
The Golden Flame Divinity nodded as he listened.
If they couldn't find Gu Qing Shan, this was naturally the best choice.
As long as Gu Qing Shan could not reach that final step, nothing would happen.
The Golden Flame Divinity pondered for a bit and said: 「 If that's the case, I can rest assured. Then, I will wait for a bit longer until the coin can be used again 」
The figure of light asked: 「 You still want to kill him? 」
「 Hm, that is the reason I came here, it's just that it's a bit less urgent now 」 the Golden Flame Divinity replied.
「 Very well, I'll be going first — — I need to destroy those unique phantom images 」 the figure of light said.
「 That would be for the best, the future of the Divine race would also be stable 」 the Golden Flame Divinity replied.
The figure of light nodded and vanished without a trace. …
…
At another location.
Gu Qing Shan was traveling through the void of space.
This was a chaotic area of space and time, with countless phantom images of the Age of Old occasionally appearing in the endless void.
There were several times where Gu Qing Shan almost ran into one of the phantom images.
If that happened, he would have arrived at another point in time during the Age of Old.
Fortunately, the jade disk would always control the direction and bring him to a specific location.
Finally, he arrived at the next unique phantom image.
In a bookkeeping room filled with jade tags, Gu Qing Shan appeared.
As soon as he appeared, someone quickly dragged him out of the room.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and observed the other party.
This was a disciple of Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, wearing the most common disciple uniform, hurriedly running while shouting: "Hurry! The disciple tournament is about to begin, you've already signed up, why are you still spacing out in the bookkeeping room? "
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "I suddenly remembered that there was a technique that might be useful, so I went to the bookkeeping room to look for it"
The disciple sighed: "I really have to give it to you, hurry, it's your turn to compete soon"
"Alright" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them flew to a public square before stopping their footsteps.
Not too far away, a tall platform was erected at the center of the square.
There were cultivators standing on top of a platform, currently engaged in a spellcasting competition.
Several great cultivators silently hovered in the sky, watching the competition between the disciples below.
— — the peak masters were all present.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze passed through the peak masters.
His gaze met with Fine Sound peak master Luo Bingli.
Luo Bingli lightly nodded.
Right after that, she sent her voice.
"Very well, since you were able to break through Radiant Soul and reach Void Beholder realm in the previous phantom image, your chances of surviving in this phantom image should be much higher"
"What's going to happen here?" Gu Qing Shan asked through her inner sight.
Luo Bingli replied: "In this era, the Desolate monsters will launch the first invasion in history, inflicting unprecedented damage and corruption on humanity. Countless cultivators will be eaten by them, countless sects will also be destroyed"
"What's my goal in coming here?" Gu Qing Shan continued to ask.
"There is a Desolate Lord that carries a unique Desolate coin, it will be killed in this war"
"And that unique Desolate coin in its hand has some sort of power that can counter the Divinities"
"In history, not too long after this coin appeared, it was immediately taken away by the Divinities"
「 You must perform well in this battle. That way, when the Desolate Lord dies and you reach for the coin, no one will be able to stop you — — - at that time, I will also help you block the interference of others 」
Gu Qing Shan asked: "If that's the case, I'll have to leave this world as soon as I get the coin?"
Luo Bingli replied: "Indeed, that coin is too important, as soon as you obtain it, you must immediately leave!"
"How do I leave this phantom image?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Take this jade disk, when you want to leave, use your spirit energy to activate it"
Gu Qing Shan felt something in his hand.
He looked down to see that it was a jade disk.
The jade disk looked exactly the same as the other jade disks, except for the word 'Zhen Sui' engraved at the center.
He put the jade disk into his chest pocket. The jade disk then reattached itself to the other jade disks.
At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[You've obtained the basic unit of the jade disk, the System can now display its information]
[Item name: Heaven Realm Rotation Jade Disk (incomplete)]
[Grade: Unique]
[Doomsday Chronicles: This item is a secret among secrets, the crystallization of humanity's greatest wisdom, unknown to the masses]
[War God Skills: From now on, you may learn how to create the Heaven Realm Rotation Jade Disk]
Gu Qing Shan only glanced through it briefly before ignoring it.
He put the jade disk away and asked: "How long until the Desolate monsters invade?"
Luo Bingli replied: "About now"
Boom — — — —
A deafening roar rang out from all directions.
The earth trembled.
Countless desperate screams resounded.
The sun in the sky disappeared without a trace.
The entire world was plunged into darkness.
"What's going on?" the Perching Cloud peak master sternly asked.
"The sect master isn't here, we'll have to go take a look" Luo Bingli replied.
The Peak Masters all nodded their heads.
"The tournament will not stop, the Elders will oversee it, all disciples will continue" the Ancient Dawn peak master declared.
"Understood!" all the disciples replied.
The peak masters' figures flashed and disappeared from the Barren Cloud Heaven's Grotto.
Gu Qing Shan slightly moved his body.
It seems the war is about to begin.
After this, I'll just have to participate in the battle.
With the Elemental Lightning [Dreamjolt], my own swordsmanship, as well as my current Void Beholder realm strength, it shouldn't be too hard for me to display the talents and excellence of a Heavenly Palace disciple.
While he was thinking that, the ground began to shake intensely.
— — -seems like the Desolate monsters' invasion is going to be a frenzied and brutal one.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
A few moments later.
Boom!!!
An unimaginable force rushed into the Barren Cloud Heaven's Grotto and struck the Ancient Dawn peak.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the entire Ancient Dawn peak was blown to smithereens.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Something doesn't seem right.
He clearly remembered that even after a few years, when he joined the sect to meet Xie Gu Hong, the Ancient Dawn peak was still perfectly fine.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but form a presence concealment hand seal and retreated to the most inconspicuous corner of the crowd.
A few moments later, two corpses fell from the sky.
Bang! Bang!
The corpses hit the ground with a dull thud.
Many female disciples screamed.
The crowd fell into chaos.
Because the corpses that fell to the ground were the corpses of the Perching Cloud peak masters and Clear Water peak masters.
Gu Qing Shan's pupils dilated.
What's going on?
In the later eras, these two peak masters were clearly still alive and well, so why did they die here?
He suddenly sensed something and looked up.
The void of the Grotto had been torn apart.
Countless Divinities giving off blinding light as well as countless ferocious monsters filled the sky!
Someone shouted in despair: "No! Divinities, why did they abandon us and help the Desolate monsters!? "
Divinities!
Desolate monsters!
They had joined forces to attack humanity!
This situation had never happened before in the known history of humanity.
Gu Qing Shan retreated step by step.
He had noticed that the current situation was extremely abnormal.
— — should I leave now?
But I still haven't obtained the Desolate coin that recorded how to counter Divinities.
Gu Qing Shan put his hand on the Heaven Realm Rotation Jade Disk, hesitant.
Luo Bingli suddenly appeared.
She was covered in blood as she pressed her hand against Gu Qing Shan's.
Right away, Gu Qing Shan noticed that the flow of time around them had slowed down.
Everyone, including the Divinities and Desolate monsters in the sky, slowed down.
— — Luo Bingli had activated some sort of Thaumaturgy.
"I can only delay time for a bit, listen to me now"
She quickly spoke: "This phantom image has been discovered by the Divinities, they're currently destroying this place"
"You can't keep the Desolate coin anymore, the only thing you need to do right now is to leave this place and go to the next phantom image!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan immediately infused his spirit energy into the jade disk.
An invisible ripple appeared from the jade disk and enveloped him.
As soon as he was about to leave, Gu Qing Shan noticed that the flow of time around him was returning to normal.
Luo Bingli was forming a hand seal with both hands to activate a technique.
An invisible ripple appeared on her body.
From the looks of it, she was also planning to escape from this phantom image.
"Go first, I'll find you later" she sent her voice.
"Got it!" Gu Qing Shan replied.
In the sky, a Divinity suddenly noticed the space-time fluctuations in this place.
It was quickly flying towards Luo Bingli, raising the sharp spear in its hand.
This attack was going to take her life!
At this point, before Luo Bingli's hand seal could fully form, Gu Qing Shan was also about to leave!
Luo Bingli's eyes showed a hint of despair.
While performing a space-time technique, you can't split your attention to perform other techniques, nor can you stop the hand seal in your hand, otherwise, all of your previous efforts would be wasted.
— — if she gave up on performing a space-time technique, she would naturally be able to stop the Divinity's attack, but she would then be entangled by the Divinity, unable to escape.
If she continued to perform a space-time technique, she would be killed by the Divinity.
Regardless of which choice she made, she would still die.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan shouted: "Continue forming the hand seal!"
Luo Bingli quickly made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and continued forming the hand seal in her hand.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze went past Luo Bingli and stared straight at the Divinity.
Inside his eyes, there seemed to be countless sword images surging in a frenzy.
[True Soul Severing Eyes]!
In a split second — —
The Divinity disappeared from this world, then reappeared.
He couldn't understand what just happened at all, so he cautiously hovered in the air, coldly staring at Gu Qing Shan.
But this was exactly what Gu Qing Shan wanted.
The jade disk in Gu Qing Shan's chest had been fully activated!
The jade disk lightly vibrated, then took him away from this phantom image.
Luo Bingli followed right behind him. An invisible blade suddenly appeared from her hand seal, slicing through the void of space.
