The Cold Jade Forest.
On a tall tree branch.
Two unconscious birds fell down one after the other, caught in the thick foliage.
Gu Qing Shan was one of them.
He was lying under the wing of the other bird, completely crushed.
Gu Qing Shan moved a bit and pushed the bird away.
The bird opened its eyes to look at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan could only glare at it.
The bird fell into a deeper state of unconsciousness.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Gu Qing Shan also closed his bird eyes, laid down on the tree branch, and pretended to be unconscious.
Time silently passed.
It was getting closer and closer to noon.
Loud noises that shook the entire forest could be heard from afar.
That was the other side of the border, the Desolate world's Western Desolation.
Because they were separated by a world, the intense tremors on the other side had been weakened several times over here.
But for this forest, it was still a destructive shockwave.
A few moments later.
A voice angrily shouted from above: 「 A bunch of untrustworthy scum! 」
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
This was the Desolate language.
He held his breath, closed his eyes, and only used his inner sight to observe the situation outside.
Without any warning, a blinding streak of light with a long trail of flames crashed straight into the forest.
Boom — — —
A large crater appeared.
The invisible shockwave blew away hundreds of trees, turning the entire forest into a mess.
Gu Qing Shan allowed the force to blow him away without putting up any resistance. He tumbled in the air along with the wind before landing on the muddy ground.
He understood that this was a time of war, and as a top-tier monster, he would immediately notice if anything went wrong.
Gu Qing Shan kept his eyes closed, only releasing his inner sight to observe the situation.
A dim light emerged from the deep pit, and at the same time, a barely dignified voice rang out.
「 Esteemed Lord of Desolation, you have completely misunderstood 」
Another voice came from the void of space: 「 Misunderstood? 」
「 Indeed, as the King of the Deities, I can guarantee you that we have always followed the agreement 」
Divinity!
The one who was beaten to the ground was the God King!
Gu Qing Shan was terrified, and she didn't even dare to release a trace of her aura.
Could it be that the one who died was the Divine King?
That made sense.
No wonder the Gods kept quiet about the identity of the fallen God and forbade the human race from investigating this matter.
The enraged voice sounded again, "I came from the other side of the Age of Desolation and avoided the allied army of you and the human race in order to hear your explanation with my own ears, yet you're saying that I've misunderstood?"
"Yes, it's a misunderstanding. I guarantee that I can explain this matter," the Divine King said.
"Speak, I'm listening."
"The reason we created so many worlds was because we wanted to revisit the past. We wanted to see what the humans of the Bygone Era were thinking before they decided to give up everything and enter that gate."
A disdainful sneer resounded in the void.
「 You — — with just these things, you want to pry into the ultimate secret of the Bygone Era? 」 the Lord of Desolation mocked.
The Divine King raised his voice: "At least we're investigating, not doing nothing at all. We're trying our best to find the secret within!"
The Lord of Desolation went silent for a bit, then spoke: 「 You're trying to say that you didn't violate our agreement, right? 」
"That is indeed the case" the Divine King replied.
At this point, a streak of light descended from above and stood guard by the Divine King's side.
「 Your Majesty, I'll protect you 」 the streak of light said.
「 No need 」 the Divine King replied, 「 I believe that once the Lord of Desolation understands the truth of this matter, you won't go to war over it again 」
「 Indeed 」 the Lord of Desolation followed up, 「 As long as you don't try to do anything behind my back, I naturally won't go to war 」
The Divine King raised his voice: 「 That's why, end this invasion. Lord of Desolation, you've already scared my people to death 」
「 As long as you return to the Desolation era, I guarantee you that I will give you as much human flesh as you want 」
The Lord of Desolation cheerfully replied: 「 That is completely possible, as long as you answer one more question 」
「 Go ahead 」 the Divine King replied.
「 You stole that thing from the Desolation Abyss — — I'll do as you say because you wanted to create a world and use it to investigate the secrets of the Bygone Era 」
「 In consideration of your meticulous efforts in raising humans and helping me produce high-quality meat, I won't pursue the matter 」
The Lord of Desolation paused for a bit, then spoke with a soft voice: 「 But how dare you hide it from me and create the Samsara? 」
Pfft!
A dull sound.
A 7-colored spear abruptly manifested from the void of space and pierced through the Divine King's body.
「 Aaaargh — – 」
The Divine King uttered a long scream, clutching the 7-colored spear with both hands and begged: 「 No, spare me! 」
From the void of space, the Lord of Desolation's voice continued: 「 The Samsara is not something I can control. You dared to imitate the power of humans and create it, that is challenging my authority 」
The Divine King knelt down, all the light around his body faded.
The 7-colored spear only managed to pierce through once before the Divine King's Divine Armor shattered and fell to the ground.
The Divine King now looked exactly like a human, but the white flame between his eyebrows was still twitching.
Enduring the pain, he breathed heavily: 「 Lord of Desolation … the Samsara has only just been created, it doesn't have any power … I … offer it to you … 」
「 Divine King, you fool, you wanted to fight me but didn't dare to say so, instead you dared to covet the Samsara. Perhaps you don't know this, but while this thing is very weak right now, it will grow by itself and eventually become a powerful force for humanity, one that even you and I won't be able to control 」
From the void of space, the Lord of Desolation's voice carried a heavy sense of mockery: 「 Pitiful and pitiful fool, if you had resisted me, or if you had grown a bit stronger and dared to challenge me in a head-on fight for a few dozen rounds without losing, I would have admired you 」
「 But you foolishly coveted that kind of power that you can't control 」
「 That is the reason why I want to kill you 」
The 7-colored spear gave off a blinding light that pierced through the Divine King's body.
「 No! Stop right now! "
The other ball of flame that was standing guard next to the Divine King shouted.
It shot towards the void of space.
The spear was pulled out and lightly swung.
The ball of flame was sent flying, creating a slope of dirt several hundred meters long.
The ball of flame was extinguished, turning into a pile of broken armor.
A Celestial Race warrior appeared.
He also looked similar to a human, but there was a blue flame burning between his eyebrows.
「 Damn it — – 」
He was coughing up blood, but his body was heavily wounded, so he could only watch as the 7-colored spear pierced through the Divine King's body again.
The Divine King reached his hand out, seemingly wanting to catch the spear again.
But it was futile.
He knelt on the ground, the blue flame between his eyebrows slowly extinguished.
His head drooped down.
The spear was pulled away.
The Divine King died.
The Lord of Desolation's voice resounded from the void of space: 「 In consideration of your loyalty as a guard, I'll spare your life. Help me bring a message to your race 」
「 I've already destroyed the Samsara, you are not allowed to touch that thing again, otherwise, you will end up like the Divine King 」
「 Continue to nurture humans for me — — right, you can choose another Divine King 」
「 Now, I will personally come to the battlefield between the two worlds 」
「 After I've picked out a few high-level cultivators and eaten them, we will retreat 」
「 From now on, learn from your mistakes and be more obedient 」
The suffocating pressure in the void of space slowly disappeared.
The Lord of Desolation had left.
The Blue Flame Divinity waited for a while longer.
It wasn't until he heard terrifying screams from afar that he struggled to stand up.
But the 7-colored spear was so powerful that the Blue Flame Divinity only managed to stagger a bit before collapsing again.
The Blue Flame Divinity looked at the Divine King's corpse with reluctance.
He simply crawled in front of the Divine King's corpse.
This forced movement affected his injuries, causing him to spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood.
But the Blue Flame Divinity didn't care.
He carefully checked the Divine King's corpse.
All of a sudden, he looked up and laughed maniacally: 「 Ahahaha, he's finally dead! From now on, no one will be a match for me! 」
「 I am the next Divine King! 」
He was unprecedentedly focused on inspecting the corpse, and then he fell into great joy, so he didn't notice the subtle things around him.
While the Blue Flame Divinity was checking the Divine King's corpse.
Inside a fallen tree several dozen miles away from where he was.
A Wind Feather Bird opened its eyes.
At the very next moment.
The Wind Feather Bird disappeared.
All of a sudden, a 6-legged winged snake manifested behind the Blue Flame Divinity.
This wasn't the one that Gu Qing Shan faced before, but rather an intact, unharmed 6-legged winged snake.
This was a high-ranking monster of the Desolate race.
Even after the Drifting Moon Immortal Sect was destroyed, it was still able to survive countless battles.
In just a few moments, the Blue Flame Divinity looked up and laughed maniacally: 「 Ahahaha, finally dead! From now on, no one will be a match for me! 」
「 I am the next Divine King! 」
His voice abruptly stopped.
— — -when the 6-legged winged snake used its full strength, it would unleash three types of attacks at once.
The first was a sound soul vessel attack that would cause one's mind to become hazy.
The second was an invisible spatial slash.
The third was an intense pounce.
In that split second.
A low screeching sound abruptly resounded.
The Blue Flame Divinity's head was cut off by the 6-legged winged snake, bit it, chewed it a few times, then spat it back out.
The Blue Flame Divinity was dead!
The 6-legged winged snake rolled on the ground and turned back into Gu Qing Shan.
He tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a gourd of liquor, and quickly rinsed his mouth.
Shannu didn't care about how brutal his attack was just now and hurriedly asked: "Gongzi, didn't you say that we can't break the rules of history? Why did you kill one as well? Did you lose control of yourself again? "
"That's not it"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Soul Points value on the War God UI that was rapidly increasing, then checked the System notification and the amount of Soul Points he needed and slowly calmed down.
He slowly spoke: "You and I both know very well that I had already been exposed the moment I used my Lightning Thaumaturgy to kill the enemies at the frontlines"
"As the saying goes, lice don't itch when there are too many, debts don't worry when there are too many. Since I've already been exposed, I might as well do something big and change my identity to avoid being discovered"
Shannu doubtfully asked: "Gongzi means — –"
She abruptly went silent.
Only to see Gu Qing Shan standing in front of her, a blue flame slowly manifesting between his eyebrows.
His entire body slowly turned into the Blue Flame Divinity.
"Only the Divine King died here, and as the first Divinity to arrive here, I was also heavily wounded by the Lord of Desolation"
"Following this, I will relay the Lord of Desolation's will to all of my Divine race companions"
"All of this perfectly overlaps with history, if someone were to come to this phantom image, they would find that history hasn't changed at all"
