The intense sound of battle could be heard from afar, as well as the continuous screams of pain.
That was the Lord of Desolation displaying his might at the border of the two worlds.
While he still had a bit of time, Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and silently sensed the miraculous changes happening to his body.
He found that after he turned into the Blue Flame Divinity, the 5 Elemental Elements had become exceptionally close to him.
The world in front of his eyes had also changed. The 5 Elemental spirit energy in the void of space had almost reached a visible level.
Red was Fire, yellow was Gold, brown was Earth, green was Wood, and blue was Water.
Among them, the power of Water Elemental energy was constantly resonating with him, almost like an extension of his will.
— — this feeling was similar to the connection he had with his hundreds of flying swords after reaching Great Accomplishment as a Sword Saint.
"Blue Flame …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered and reached his hand out.
A drop of water in his hand turned into ice, then gave off a deep blue glow.
Starting from where Gu Qing Shan was standing, white frost quickly spread all over the ground and continued to spread.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised. So the blue flame represented the ability to control Water Elemental energy.
But is it only controlling Water Elemental energy?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, he suddenly had a thought.
Instantly, his body vanished into thin air and turned into an omnipresent frigid fog.
It was as if his body was made entirely out of ice.
Gu Qing Shan gathered his body again.
He raised his hand.
His hand easily scattered into fine frigid fog, then quickly reformed into a hand.
… not water.
This seems to be another form of water. Frost.
Then, what kind of entity is a Divinity?
At this point, the War God UI was flashing with notifications.
Gu Qing Shan stopped thinking and looked at the War God UI.
[You've used 1 million Soul Points to transform into a 6-legged winged snake]
[You've killed the God of Frost and Chill, obtaining 800,000 Soul Points]
[You've used 900,000 Soul Points to transform into the God of Frost and Chill]
Reading through the UI notifications, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "System, I only obtained 300,000 Soul Points from killing the 6-legged winged snake, why does it cost more Soul Points to transform into it than to become a Divinity?"
[Ting]!
The System responded.
[Thank you for 10 Soul Points, answer as follows:]
「 Because the six-legged winged serpent is a unique Desolate creature, a weapon-type beast created by the Bygone Era humans, using its body to carry the meager power that the Bygone Era humans bestowed upon it 」
"Therefore, when you transform into a snake, you will automatically grasp these inherited abilities of the human race."
"These are the three abilities you used to kill the God."
Gu Qing Shan understood and asked: "In other words, when I turn into a snake, I have to pay the Soul Points for the transformation, as well as the inheritance of those humans?"
[Indeed, Soul Points is the most fundamental power, without it, your [Mystery of All Beings Equal] wouldn't be able to complete its inheritance] the System replied.
"What if I become a Primordial Guardian? Don't tell me it also needs additional soul power? "
[No, the Desolate guardians are intelligent humanoid creatures. You'll need to level up your War God Skills twice in order to comprehend their Desolate abilities, and you'll be able to use those abilities after returning to your original form]
"In other words, the Six-Legged Winged Serpent is very special, which is why it can directly inherit those abilities?"
"Correct."
"But I don't have those abilities in reserve right now, do I?"
[As I said, the Serpent is special, it relies on the unique structure of its body to exert the meager power of the Bygone Era humans — — when you use the Mystery to construct its body, you're also constructing those abilities, so when you're not a snake, you naturally won't be able to use those abilities]
Gu Qing Shan shrugged helplessly: "I've already become a Divinity, but I still haven't comprehended any Divinity abilities"
[That's easy to understand. Aside from the abilities that the Bygone Era humans inherited through beasts, you'll have to learn the abilities of all other races through [War God Skills], after which, those abilities will become yours]
The System continued: [In summary, you only need 900,000 Soul Points to transform into a Divinity, but you need 1 million Soul Points to transform into a Six-Legged Winged Serpent]
Gu Qing Shan regretfully clapped her hands.
1 million Soul Points was gone in a single moment, I didn't even get to learn a single ability.
— — in other words, turning into a snake, then into a Divinity cost me a total of 1.9 million Soul Points.
Killing God only earned me 800,000.
If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have killed this Divinity, I would've stayed in my Six-Legged Winged Serpent form and wandered around the Desolate world for a bit.
A Six-Legged Winged Serpent can already be considered a passable Desolate creature, and I can speak Desolate Tongue, speak nicely, and act smartly, I'll definitely be able to survive quite well in the Desolate world.
What a huge loss this time.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze couldn't help but fall onto a certain location on the War God UI.
[I still have 1.7 million Soul Points remaining.
Gu Qing Shan slowly sighed in relief.
Fortunately, I earned quite a bit from the slaughterhouse, as well as killing quite a few Desolate soldiers at the frontlines to save up.
— — -otherwise, how am I supposed to survive from now on?
Looking at the remaining Soul Points, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit more confident.
With this much Soul Points, what do I have to be afraid of?
He quickly walked up to the Ice Deity's corpse, crouched down, and placed his hand on a circular long rod next to the tattered armor.
Just now, when the Ice Deity tried to attack with this rod, it was heavily wounded by a single swing of the 7-colored spear.
Seems like this was the Ice Deity's weapon.
Since Gu Qing Shan had turned into the Ice Deity, he had to learn its Skills, otherwise, he would still be exposed.
The icon representing War God Skills lit up on the War God UI.
"Item discovered: Frost Staff."
[You cannot comprehend a Divine Skill from this item]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Why not?"
[Thank you for 10 Soul Points, because your War God Skills has yet to be upgraded, you cannot comprehend the Divine Skill created by imitating humans]
[…]
The sound of battle from afar slowly became weaker. The Lord of Desolation's voice resounded across the entire world:
"Foolish things, you must remember this lesson!"
Rumble rumble — — -
The earth trembled.
The two worlds began to separate.
There wasn't much time left!
Gu Qing Shan clenched her teeth and said: "I'll spend 1 million Soul Points to upgrade War God Skills"
[Received 1 million Soul Points, War God Skills upgrade complete] the System replied.
"You finished upgrading it so quickly?"
[Of course, the System had already prepared it]
"But why don't I sense any changes in the System?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
The System paused.
On the War God UI, the icon for War God Skills was jumping.
[Did you see it? The icon is jumping now] the System casually asked.
"… Alright, now I want to comprehend those Divine Skills!" Gu Qing Shan said.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
All the Divine Skills that the God of Frost and Chill had performed were displayed on the UI.
Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of them, and each of them was very useful, so Gu Qing Shan couldn't give up on any of them.
He stared closely at the UI and cautiously asked: "I want to ask again, after I've grasped these Skills, I should be able to keep them, right?"
[Of course you can, you'll always keep these Skills, but as you're a human, your control over the 5 Elements isn't as strong as that of a Divinity, so the power of these Divine Skills will be greatly reduced]
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
As long as I can grasp them, I don't want to go through the process of turning into a snake again.
"Use Soul Points to comprehend them all" he said.
[Are you sure?] the System asked.
"I'm sure"
…
A few moments later.
His comprehension was complete.
This time, Gu Qing Shan had truly become the God of Frost and Chill.
However, he didn't seem to be happy at all, instead, he seemed a bit sad.
Because a certain number on the War God UI had almost reached zero.
