The Primordial Heaven Realm.
The Sky Beyond Heaven.
At the top of the Grand Divine Palace.
The God of Frost and Chill stood there, looking down at the entire world.
He was contemplating without moving.
Time slowly passed. Like a statue, he never left.
Everyone knew that the new Divine King was contemplating the fate of his entire race.
— — the new Divine King had publicly announced his thoughts.
To prevent his will from being unable to continue even if he died in battle, he had even arranged for the next Divine King.
The Strength God swore in front of all the Divinities that he would follow in the footsteps of the God of Frost and Chill and continue to fight against fate.
Just a moment ago, something else happened.
The God of Frost and Chill requested the Golden Flame Divinity from the future to personally crown him during his coronation.
This signified that the new Divine King would remember everything that happened in the future, as well as all the suffering of the Divine race.
He swore to change the future fate of the Divine race.
The Golden Flame Divinity happily agreed.
Even though this was only a fragment of history, the Golden Flame Divinity was also very serious for this moment.
At this point, the entire Divine race had become unprecedentedly united, all the faint thoughts of opposition and opposition had been erased.
In the hearts of all the Divinities, the Divine King was unquestionably supported.
Somewhere in the void of space.
「 Why, this is clearly only a fragment of history, so why are you so serious? 」 the figure of light asked.
「 Because I can see a different Divine race from him. I will witness and inherit the spirit of the Divine King, then pass it on to the future 」 the Golden Flame Divinity replied.
「 All of this is worth it 」 he added.
The figure of light fell silent.
「 I want to leave for a bit 」 it said.
「 Where are you going? 」 the Golden Flame Divinity asked.
「 During the entire Age of Old, we had made many preparations. Other than the final preparations against humanity, there was also a certain secret against the Desolate race 」 the figure of light replied.
「 What kind of secret was it?
」「 It was most likely some sort of concealment method. Before I saw it, I didn't know what it was 」
「 And so? 」
「 And so, I want to find that secret and return here 」
The Golden Flame Divinity's expression changed.
At this point, the fate of the Divine race had changed. This had never happened before in the records of history.
「 Why did you do that? 」 The Golden Flame Divinity solemnly asked: 「 You should be the collective will of the Old Gods, why did you give up on exploring humanity's ultimate secret with me? 」
The figure of light replied: 「 When the fate of the Divine race holds a new hope, I will seek that secret, this was the final promise of the Old Gods 」
「 But I've never heard of such a thing 」 the Golden Flame Divinity couldn't understand.
「 That's because the Divine race has never had hope, so there are some things that won't be triggered 」 the figure of light replied.
「 Are you tempted now? 」 the Golden Flame Divinity asked.
"The king of the God race has never stood at the top of the temple and thought about the fate of the entire race for several days in a row. The king of the God race has never sworn to resist the bullying of the Desolate Antiquity. The king of the God race has never appointed the next king of the God race before his coronation, only because he could die in battle at any time."
The figure of light continued: 「 Such a scene has never been seen before in history, so the time has come for me to find that secret 」
Its voice was full of solemnity as its figure gradually disappeared from the void.
The Golden Flame Divinity stayed alone for a long time.
He sighed: 「 Who would've thought that my arrival would cause such a hidden change in history, fortunately, this is only a fragment 」
After a while of silence, he couldn't help but mutter.
「 Unfortunately, this is only a fragment 」
…
Gu Qing Shan naturally didn't know about the Divinities' discussions and opinions.
He stood at the top of the temple, his gaze focused on the void of space. It seemed like he was thinking, but he was actually staring at the War God UI.
He was thinking about the meaning of the notifications on the UI.
[Your personal strength has increased, your Card grade has officially increased]
[Grey Card: Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan]
[Grade: Grey Card, max]
[Companion: Angel of Condemnation, Dusk]
[Corresponding Deck: Fugitive Deck]
All the information suddenly disappeared.
A line of text appeared below the Card.
[You've become a max level Grey Card]
"The Grey Card you possess: Damage Amplification. You have a chance to advance."
A Card with a grey background appeared on the UI.
On the front of the card, there was a drawing of a long saber. The edge of the saber flickered with a cold light from time to time.
[Skill Card: Amplify Damage]
[After equipping this Card, whenever you deal damage to an enemy, the enemy will take an additional 3% damage]
[Description: This is a Gray-grade Passive Skill Card, whenever you equip this Card in battle, it will continue to function]
[As a Grey Card, it desires to grow stronger at all times. Now that the chance has arrived, would you like to upgrade it and promote it to Lapis grade?]
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Upgrade"
The grey card continued to spin faster and faster, gradually emitting a jade-colored glow.
When the Card stopped spinning, it had turned into a pure lapis Card.
[Skill Card: Bleed]
[After equipping this Card, whenever you cut an enemy's body with a sharp weapon, the enemy's fillings — — - such as flesh, steel, mental power, spirit energy, etc., will gradually be drained from the enemy's body. Duration: 10 seconds]
[Description: This is a Lapis grade Passive Skill Card, as long as you place it on the War God UI, it will continue to function]
A translucent lapis Card slot appeared on the War God UI.
Gu Qing Shan silently put this Card into the slot. A jade-green light appeared on the War God UI, giving off a continuous ripple that didn't disappear for a long time.
At this point, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[Your first Card has become a Lapis grade Card, you may now obtain a chance to draw another Lapis grade Card through certain means]
[After you complete this draw, you will also officially become a Lapis grade Card]
After reading through, Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "System, what means do you mean by certain means?"
Silence.
The System didn't answer.
Gu Qing Shan realized and complained: "Oi, when I had a lot of Soul Points, you answered all my questions, but now that I have no Soul Points, you can't just ignore me like that, can you?"
The System remained silent.
Gu Qing Shan helplessly thought for a bit and said: "How about this, you take a step back, I'll also take a step back. I'll owe you Soul Points for now, I'll give it to you the next time I get more Soul Points, just answer my question now"
[Due to your recent performance, the System has noticed that you're too good at swindling people, the System definitely won't fall for it] the System replied.
"…" Gu Qing Shan.
This War God System!
Gu Qing Shan gritted her teeth, scowling with an expression of unwillingness and resentment.
Without a way, how am I supposed to level up my Cards?
When Little Dusk escaped from the seal, not only did her cultivation drop, all of her Sealing Cards were also turned into Escape Cards.
The Lapis grade Cards that she used, like: [True Crimson Demon Spear], [Combat Golem], [Imprisonment Weapon], [Summoning Demon Scorpion Empress] — — even from Gu Qing Shan's current point of view, they were all very useful Cards.
The Passive Skill Card that Gu Qing Shan had called [Bleed] was also very powerful, very suitable for sword cultivators.
And these were only Lapis grade Cards.
The entire Escape Card Deck also had countless higher-grade Cards.
Then, as long as I keep leveling up, I'll be able to use the Escape Cards from now on!
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan felt a burning desire in her heart again.
His expression became one of longing again.
The Divinities silently observed the Divine King's expression, only to find that the Divine King's expression changed too quickly.
— — the Divine King must be filled with resentment and unwillingness towards the current state of his race.
Right, that must be it.
Otherwise, why would the Divine King have such a rich expression?
— — what a great Divine King!
The Divinities silently sighed in their minds.
Gu Qing Shan didn't seem to notice anything that was happening in the outside world.
He decided to stop asking the War God System and instead carefully recalled the conversation he had with Little Dusk.
Suddenly, he recalled Little Dusk's explanation.
"Natural advancement is the slowest, consuming Cards is a bit faster — — but not every Card is suitable, you need to find a Card that is compatible with you. Finally, using an inheritance item left behind by the Old Gods is the fastest way to advance, but those inheritance items are all secrets among secrets, they can't be easily found"
Gu Qing Shan slowly nodded.
Perhaps if I use the first method, I'll be able to directly draw that Lapis grade Card after advancing again.
But now, there's an even faster method.
I've become the King of the Old Gods.
It's very simple for me to obtain an inheritance item left behind by a Divinity.
… These items are usually kept in the inheritance vault behind the Grand Divine Palace, and can only be opened with the Divine King Scepter.
Three days later, the coronation ceremony will officially begin, at which point I'll receive the Divine King Scepter.
