The Divine King's voice disappeared.
All the images turned into sprites of light and slowly faded away.
Only a glowing piece of paper fell into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
What was written on it was:
Two Divinities died, one Divinity was born, 7 days apart.
Pop!
A few moments later, the piece of paper also scattered into sprites of light and disappeared into the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
Fortunately, the death of two Divinities meant that the birth of a new Divinity had yet to be discovered by entities other than the Divine King.
So no one would know that in Cold Jade Forest, other than the Lord of Desolation, he also killed a Divinity.
However — –
The Golden Flame Divinity came from the future.
Perhaps he knows this secret.
As soon as a new Divinity was born, he would definitely realize it.
I have to think of a way …
Gu Qing Shan stood still for a long time until he was startled by a certain sound from the warehouse.
A stone pillar carved with various complicated runes rose from the ground.
The stone pillar scattered into small pieces of rock that floated around in the void of space.
A square stone slowly rotated at the center of the rock.
The frigid voice from the Divine King Scepter sounded again:
[New Divine King, you may now receive the item]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the stone, a bit curious.
The War God UI altered the authority so that I can receive the most precious item in this warehouse.
— — -which means, this square stone is the most precious item?
After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan put his hand on the rotating square stone.
In an instant.
The square stone disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan sensed it for a bit.
Nothing at all.
He couldn't help but ask: "System, where did that square stone from before go?"
[Ting]!
The War God UI replied: [This item is useless to you. This is an information collection stone from the Bygone Era, containing a large amount of information from the Bygone Era. Through this item, the Doomsday Chronicles will be upgraded]
"Upgraded?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Indeed, your Doomsday Chronicles will be able to record information and information from the Bygone Era through this stone. From now on, whenever you come across any ancient items, you will be able to clearly recognize their usage and information] the System replied.
Following the War God UI's explanation, the [Doomsday Chronicles] icon at the bottom of the UI became blurry.
It seems to be undergoing some sort of change.
A few moments later.
The icon changed and turned into a thick green book.
The words "Doomsday Chronicles" disappeared.
New words appeared below the icon:
"Evolving."
Gu Qing Shan remained unmoved.
He took a deep breath and asked, "In other words … you took that thing, and I didn't get any benefits, right?"
Noticing the subtle change in Gu Qing Shan's tone, the System immediately said, "No, I left some for you."
As she spoke, a small piece of gravel appeared in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
It looked like a piece of scrap from a square stone.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the gravel and couldn't help but ask, "What use does this thing have to me?"
[You can use it to evolve your card level] the System said.
Gu Qing Shan brought up her card interface and looked at it.
Yes, he was a Gray Card now. He had to advance quickly.
The power of the card was still very strong, and it was a very good aid in battle.
He tried putting the gravel on the Card UI.
The gravel slowly sank into the Card UI and disappeared.
The entire UI began to shake.
Under this shaking, the Gray Card that depicted Gu Qing Shan wielding a sword with both hands broke into many pieces and fell into the UI.
Following that, a new Card replaced it.
This was a Lapis Card.
Gu Qing Shan found that he was still standing on the Card, wielding a sword with both hands.
However, the Card didn't seem as gloomy as before, finally giving off a sense of realism.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You've become a Lapis Card]
[You may now draw a second Lapis Card]
[From now on, you may use Lapis Cards to fight]
The lines of glowing text all disappeared.
Following that, three Lapis Cards appeared on the UI.
Their backs were facing upwards, making it so that Gu Qing Shan couldn't see what was depicted on the front of the Cards.
Because of that, Gu Qing Shan couldn't determine what kind of function each of the Cards had.
A notification popped up below the three Cards.
[Please draw a Lapis Card as your second Combat Card]
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the three Cards.
In truth, no matter which Lapis Card it was, they all had their own unique functions that could be used in certain situations.
— — -so there's nothing to think about, I can just draw them, I'll be able to use them anyway.
Gu Qing Shan casually pointed at the Lapis Card in the middle.
Sensing Gu Qing Shan's action, the Card flipped over.
This Card gave off a blinding crimson glow that completely obscured the thing depicted on the Card.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, feeling very pleased with his luck.
Indeed, this was an extremely unique weapon.
The notifications that quickly appeared on the War God UI confirmed his suspicions.
[Rare item: True Crimson Demon Spear]
[Equipping this demon spear will prevent the user from equipping any armor]
[This demon spear has the Law property: Absolute Sharpness.
[Description: This was the first weapon created by the Old Gods to be able to harm themselves]
"Nothing can stop it!"
As Gu Qing Shan held this Card in her hand, the other two Cards disappeared into the void of space.
A few moments later.
A spear enveloped in an endless crimson glow appeared from the void of space and was held in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Staring at this spear that had the [Absolute Sharpness] property, Gu Qing Shan suddenly understood something.
No wonder the Old Gods would create so many things that were more powerful than themselves.
They would always imitate the things of the Bygone Era humans.
— — -the Bygone Era humans were incredibly powerful, so the things they created through imitation would naturally be much more powerful than the Old Gods themselves.
The simplest example was this [True Crimson Demon Spear].
Gu Qing Shan casually swung the spear.
Si si si si si!
The sound of air being torn apart could be heard clearly.
Gu Qing Shan muttered: "How unfortunate that it's a spear, it would be even better if it was a flying sword"
As soon as he said that, a line of glowing green text appeared on the War God UI inside the green book that was currently evolving:
[This item is an imitation, but it already contains a certain crucial element. If you need a sword, you can collect that element from this Card and use it as one of the necessary elements to create a sword]
Gu Qing Shan's eyes glowed as he read this.
The [True Crimson Demon Spear] is capable of killing even a Deity.
If I have a similarly sharp flying sword, a lot of my battles would become much easier.
However, this isn't something that can be completed in a short amount of time, so I'll have to do it slowly.
Gu Qing Shan silently kept this in mind.
He let go of the [True Crimson Demon Spear], allowing it to turn back into a lapis-colored Card and return to his Card UI.
At this point, he had become a lapis-grade Card, as well as two lapis-grade Cards, the passive skill [Bleed] and the rare weapon [True Crimson Demon Spear].
The Divine King Scepter lightly floated up from the ground and disappeared into the void of space.
It had completed its mission this time.
Gu Qing Shan felt an immense force pushing him forward. A second later, he was already outside the warehouse.
As the 16 Divine Guards saw him, they all knelt down on one knee to greet him.
After holding the coronation ceremony and entering the inheritance vault, from this moment onwards, Gu Qing Shan had truly become the Divine King.
Looking at the Divine Guards, he didn't really know how to view these human manufactured goods.
Gu Qing Shan had pretty much guessed the entire situation.
The current Divine race all had their own sentience, which was most likely due to them having passed their expiration date.
To not be wiped out, their only hope was to enter the Gate of the Desolate World.
— — to enter the Gate, the Divine race and the Desolate monsters made an agreement:
The Divine race would help the Desolate monsters deceive humanity, turning humanity into the monsters' food, as well as help the Desolate monsters destroy all of the [Order] left behind by humanity.
If the Divine race managed to do this, the Desolate monsters would have to pay the price of helping the Divine race enter the Gate.
This was the agreement between the two races.
Only humanity was deceived by the Divine race and forced to fight against the Desolate monsters, only to be eaten by them.
What a tragic fate this was!
Gu Qing Shan silently shook his head and slowly returned to the front hall.
He sat down on the Divine King's throne and silently thought about this.
The Golden Flame Divinity appeared in front of him.
"Did you find that person?" Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice.
「 No, he suddenly disappeared, I don't know where he went 」 the Golden Flame Divinity worriedly replied.
「 I'm guessing that person also realized that he attracted too much attention at the frontlines, so he went into hiding. That's why you won't be able to find him for now. It's best if you don't go on a large scale search for him right now, once he feels that the commotion has died down, he'll naturally reappear 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Hm, that makes sense. Perhaps we really did push him too hard and scared him 」
The Golden Flame Divinity slowly nodded.
All of a sudden, a loud commotion came from outside the divine palace, drawing their attention.
"What's going on? This is the Grand Divine Palace, why is it so noisy?"
Gu Qing Shan scowled and shouted.
A Divinity flew in from outside the palace, knelt down in front of Gu Qing Shan from afar and reported: 「 Your majesty, we have captured that person 」
「 Captured? 」
Gu Qing Shan and the Golden Flame Divinity spoke at the same time.
The Divinity continued to report: 「 Indeed, she was hiding among humanity, wandering everywhere to gather information. Finally, she was exposed, so we set up a trap and successfully captured her 」
While they were talking, two Divinities escorted a woman into the divine palace.
