Within the frigid grey fog, Gu Qing Shan was moving forward.
The Heaven's Tribulation Rotation Jade Disk was giving off an invisible force that brought him to the next phantom image.
Not too far behind Gu Qing Shan, a phantom image was becoming brighter and brighter, almost about to burst into flames.
At some point, this phantom image became so bright that it shattered into dust within the blinding light.
It scattered and disappeared within the endless fog of space-time.
Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth, fully concealed his presence, then arranged layers upon layers of concealment formations without caring about the cost.
Everything happened too suddenly.
The Divinities and Desolate monsters worked together to destroy an entire phantom image.
Fortunately, Luo Bingli managed to get here in time, otherwise, let alone her, even Gu Qing Shan would have been in danger.
Gu Qing Shan recalled what happened just now.
Luo Bingli was unfathomable.
She could easily delay time on an ant, or even perform [Time Stop] on it.
But if the target was a Divinity, the Temporal Technique would receive intense resistance from the Divinity, making it almost impossible to succeed.
But just now, when countless powerful Desolate monsters and Divinities were about to attack, Luo Bingli was still able to delay time.
She was able to delay the enemy's time.
That was an incredible feat.
But even so, the two of them were almost caught up by the Divinities.
Gu Qing Shan quickly thought about it and fell into an intense internal struggle.
— — inside that phantom image, there was a Desolate coin that could counter the power of the Divinities.
The Age of Old humanity's arrangements had already been destroyed, so Gu Qing Shan had lost his chance to obtain that coin.
— — without that coin, how much of an impact would it have on the next step?
Gu Qing Shan didn't know.
Around him, a frigid fog filled the void of space.
The Heaven Realm Rotation Jade Disk was constantly giving off guiding power to guide him through the thick fog.
Gu Qing Shan avoided one phantom image after another and followed a unique path towards the next phantom image left by the Age of Old humanity.
This was the moment where he was truly isolated.
No one could help him.
Gu Qing Shan remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and drew her sword.
The sword radiance flashed.
Pa!
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The Celestial Realm Rotation Jade Disk was shattered into pieces by his sword.
The power from the jade disk disappeared.
Without the power of the jade disc, Gu Qing Shan instantly fell into the depths of the space-time fog.
He continued to fall, brushing past countless phantom images.
Gu Qing Shan's face darkened, she didn't move at all.
He allowed himself to fall aimlessly.
At a certain moment, he suddenly fell into an inconspicuous phantom image.
— — this was a completely random entry, even Gu Qing Shan herself didn't know that she had entered the Age of Old.
…
The earth was parched.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky and dyed the setting sun in the distance the color of blood.
The dark red sunset gradually sank into the horizon.
Amidst the ruins, Gu Qing Shan arrived.
He found himself standing in a pool of blood.
He glanced around.
Countless severed limbs and skeletons were scattered all around him.
This place was like a slaughterhouse for humanity.
— — no, from the bite marks on the skeletons, this place had clearly been thoroughly cleaned out by the Desolate monsters.
The monsters had already eaten their fill and left.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, releasing his inner sight to carefully observe his surroundings.
He didn't even know what period of time he was in the Age of Old, so he needed to gather information and make a decision about his current situation.
Shannu appeared from the void of space.
She looked at the dark red color of blood on the ground, shocked by the scene of devastation.
— — -even in hell, there weren't many scenes like this.
"Gongzi, why did you destroy the jade disk? You should know that without the jade disk's guidance, we wouldn't be able to find the Heaven sword" Shannu doubtfully asked.
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly, then replied: "I know that destroying the jade disk wasn't a good idea"
"Then gongzi — —"
"I only asked myself a question"
"What question?"
Gu Qing Shan slowly spoke: "If I were the Old Divinity who came up with the plan, and I had just destroyed a secret phantom image that humanity had set up, what else would I be doing at the same time?"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Obviously, I'm destroying all of humanity's secret phantom images. This way, no one will be able to find the true final moment of humanity's existence through these specific steps"
"As long as I did this, all of humanity's hopes would go up in smoke"
"So gongzi destroyed the jade disk and decided not to go any further?" Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan showed a rare expression of hesitation.
"I … don't know if this is the right thing to do, but let's make another assumption — — - if I were the one who traveled from the future and tried to capture Gu Qing Shan, what would I do in this situation?"
Shannu froze, then answered without hesitation: "I don't know"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "If I were him, I would immediately talk to the Old Divinities and tell them not to destroy the next phantom image, but to silently hide within it and wait for Gu Qing Shan to come"
"Hiding is a stupid method, but it's also the safest one. The Old Divinities would only need to wait for Gu Qing Shan to show up, then suddenly attack and capture him in one fell swoop"
Hearing that, Shannu couldn't help but feel a chill and asked: "Would the Old Divinities be willing to listen to that entity?"
Gu Qing Shan muses: "They would most likely agree … when I was in the Xie Qi Fiend Realm, the Old Divinities were also searching for me, which means that they are very interested in humanity's final secret"
He concluded: "That's right, Gu Qing Shan is too weak, so the Old Divinities would definitely be willing to leave behind a phantom image and wait for Gu Qing Shan to take the bait. After all, it's very simple to capture him, as long as he shows up"
Shannu sighed: "Gongzi, I think it's too dangerous, how about you come with me back to Huang Quan, the Grand Tie Wei Mountain can resist the winds of chaotic tribulation, we can hide in hell, even the Old Divinities wouldn't dare to capture a Devil King like you"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Shannu, are you afraid?"
Shannu shook her head: "I'm not afraid of the Old Divinities, I'm afraid that they would take away gongzi's soul. If that's the case, gongzi wouldn't even have a chance to reincarnate"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze slowly became gentle.
"Don't worry, this is only the beginning, your gongzi has never been afraid of these pieces of trash"
As he spoke softly, he stepped on the blood and walked forward.
While walking, he was also changing his appearance.
"Isn't it just hiding? I'm actually quite familiar with this"
First, he turned into a burly man, then into a white-haired old man, then into a long-bearded Daoist, then into a 7-8 years old child, and finally into a young man.
The young man stopped, followed the blood on the ground, and looked at a tattered corpse.
"I'll use your appearance, if fate allows, I'll take revenge for you, thank you"
After saying so, he took Shannu and disappeared from this ruin.
…
At another location.
The fog of space-time.
A phantom image of the Age of Old.
Around this phantom image, countless figures were hiding in the void of space.
With their strength, unless it was a great cultivator at Xie Gu Hong's level, no other human cultivator would be able to sense them hiding here.
They were silently hiding here, patiently waiting.
Even though it took them a long time to hide, they were still very patient.
But there was no end to this wait.
Because the human they were waiting for still hadn't shown up.
Finally, a voice resounded from the void of space.
「 I guess … he won't come 」
The Golden Flame Divinity appeared from the void of space and spoke with a regretful tone.
He looked at the Desolate coin in his hand.
Soon.
