Inside the Grand Divine Palace.
Time was still.
The dust in the air, the warm light, the tranquil breeze, Luo Bingli who was standing still, everything was still at this moment.
Gu Qing Shan walked into a cluster of golden light and disappeared.
The cluster of golden light slowly shrunk, scattered into specks of light, and quickly faded away.
At the very last moment, Luo Bingli moved.
Her whole body was freed from the frozen state, and her gaze lightly fell on the golden light.
"To be able to leave directly from here, how rare"
She muttered and reached her hand out to grab a speck of golden light that was about to fade away.
The speck of golden light seemed to have noticed her existence and quickly expanded, turning into a golden dagger.
The War God UI appeared!
「 Who exactly are you? 」 the golden dagger asked.
"And who are you?" Luo Bingli asked in return.
The golden dagger didn't waste any more words and gave off a blinding light.
Under the illumination of the light, Luo Bingli looked like a beautiful young girl standing in the morning sun.
She carefully sensed the golden light and coldly asked: "Are you investigating me?"
「 You're not a normal cultivator, you're … 」 a surprised voice came from the golden dagger.
It seemed to understand something.
「 … So that's why 」 the golden dagger sighed.
"If you already know, then please don't tell anyone who I am. Furthermore, can you let me see what's happening on your side? If you refuse, I'll erase the Space-Time coordinates of this place, you won't be able to return "Luo Bingli told her.
[You can't threaten me with anything you say, but because of Gu Qing Shan, I can agree] the War God UI replied.
The golden dagger drew a line in the air. A screen of light appeared in front of Luo Bingli.
On the screen, Gu Qing Shan was quickly flying through the fog of space-time.
"Thank you" Luo Bingli said in satisfaction.
The golden dagger ignored her and disappeared into the void of space.
…
Within the fog of space-time.
Gu Qing Shan was flying at full speed.
This was a world completely made up of fog and squares.
Each square represented a time zone, and the time zones were connected to each other, forming a complete flow of time from the past to the future. All existences existed in each square, unable to transcend the dimensional limits of time and space.
"Who would've thought that space-time would be divided into squares from this perspective, I've never seen anything like this before" Gu Qing Shan commented.
[Both you and I will be taking this path for the first time] the War God UI's voice came: [This time, we'll be using a temporary path from another higher dimension to return — — - technological paths have always been relatively safe and won't attract any prying eyes — — of course, we can't go too far]
As he spoke, an extremely powerful force came over.
Gu Qing Shan was pulled into one of the squares.
The world was spinning.
Darkness engulfed them.
Then, the whole world gradually became clear in front of him.
The flames of war surged.
Smoke filled the sky.
On the other side of the river, the battle was at its most critical moment.
The human race was about to perish.
Groups of armored soldiers knelt on the ground, causing the figure of one of the armored generals to be particularly conspicuous.
Gu Qing Shan stared at that figure and sighed deeply.
That's him.
The him of the past life.
[Ting]!
The War God UI's voice came: [Gu Qing Shan, take a look at the golden glow around your body]
"What is this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[The world isolation barrier will disappear in 15 breaths' worth of time, at which point the people of this world will be able to see you — — be careful, you must complete everything within 15 breaths' worth of time without stopping, otherwise the living beings of the past life will see two of you. If that happens, one of the two of you will be erased by the Law of Time]
"Understood, what should I do next?" Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
[I will activate [Time Stanch] in a moment, you must take advantage of that time to send me into the hands of your past life — — be careful, you must be fast, but also not let the past you notice anything]
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Don't worry, I'm currently in the Divine King's body, with my strength, it's very simple to accomplish this. What should we do after that?"
The War God UI replied: [I will immediately bring the past you back to the beginning of everything]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
When everything began …
It was during the reign of Cheng Ping, when humanity first came into contact with the demons.
On a stormy night, outside an empty military camp, a cook was patrolling the camp.
I woke up from a pit of corpses …
Gu Qing Shan recalled everything at the time and sighed.
"What should I do now that you're gone?" he asked.
The War God UI replied: [Once this world is destroyed, the Origin power of the collapsed world will explode. When that power reaches you, due to the mutual repulsion between the two Laws of Space-Time, you will be kicked back from this place]
"That doesn't sound too complicated" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The War God UI patiently reminded him: [Remember, after you return, even if I'm not here, you will still have the ability to absorb Soul Points. After I leave, nothing will be able to take away your Soul Points. You must make good use of it, it is one of the strongest sources of power]
"Is there a limit to how much Soul Points I can absorb?" Gu Qing Shan seriously asked.
"There is"
"Then I understand"
At this point, in the military camp on the other side of the river, the past life's Gu Qing Shan had already flown into the sky.
Countless flying swords appeared from the void of space and followed him as he rode the wind.
[Sword Array], [Mutual Destruction]!
With a sword in hand, Gu Qing Shan charged straight towards the gigantic demonic figure in the sky.
In the military camp below him, countless voices resounded within the intense wind:
"Mr. Gu, we're going together!"
"Together!"
"Together with you!"
…
On the other side of the river, Gu Qing Shan lowered his gaze.
Seeing this scene from the past life again, he felt a bit dejected.
[Don't waste any time, it's time!]
The War God UI urged him.
"Hm"
Gu Qing Shan replied.
Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]!
In a split second, he disappeared from the ground and reappeared in the sky.
He used the power of the Divine King to hide in the void of space, staring at his past self as he flew up. Then — — -
A golden shortsword appeared in his hand.
[Ready — –]
The War God UI's voice came from the golden shortsword.
Boom!
A blinding light swept across the world, turning into endless white light in the void of space.
Immediately, the entire world became stagnant.
Everything suddenly slowed down, and all sound disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan saw his past self flying towards the Demon Lord at an extremely slow speed.
He saw himself opening his mouth and roaring.
The power of countless cultivators converged into a blinding sword phantom that killed the gigantic Demon Lord that blocked out the sky.
Time stopped at this very moment.
The light became even brighter.
[Hurry! Now!]
The War God UI's voice came from the golden shortsword.
Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth, rushed forward, and put the golden shortsword into his past self's hand.
"Take care!"
He said.
[You take care as well] the War God UI replied.
Within the intense wind.
A golden light flashed.
In an instant, Gu Qing Shan disappeared from this world with the golden shortsword in his hand.
Everything was over.
Seeing the War God UI taking his past self away, Gu Qing Shan immediately used [Ground Shrink] and disappeared from the sky.
— — the concealment power on his body was about to dissipate, so he definitely couldn't let anyone see him.
Gu Qing Shan flew into the river, swam all the way to the bottom, formed a presence concealment hand seal, and silently waited.
He continued to wait.
Until the world began to collapse — — -
A miraculous fluctuation was released from the deepest part of the world.
This fluctuation swept across the entire world.
As it flew past Gu Qing Shan, it suddenly surrounded him, enveloping him layer by layer.
The more this power gathered, the stronger it became, to the point where even Gu Qing Shan could feel some sort of immense pressure.
Even with the God of Frost and Chill's power, he couldn't hold on much longer against this power.
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan noticed that this power had completely gathered at his chest and pushed him away!
The void of space broke apart.
In an instant, Gu Qing Shan disappeared from this part of space-time.
…
Several ten thousand years ago.
The Primordial Heaven Realm.
The Grand Divine Palace in the Sky Beyond Heaven.
Luo Bingli's eyebrows twitched.
She quickly erased the golden light and stopped probing that area of space-time.
A second later, Gu Qing Shan fell from the void of space and crashed to the ground.
[Time Stop] disappeared.
Everything returned to normal.
But Gu Qing Shan was still lying on the ground without moving.
He was staring straight at the void of space in front of him.
The familiar UI in his vision was no longer there.
"System?"
Gu Qing Shan silently asked.
There was no clear sound.
There was no answer.
Indeed, the War God System had returned to the past.
A closed loop of space-time had been formed. With such perfect logic and causality, no one would be able to discover the War God System's origin.
Furthermore, from now on, I can safely carry the [Demon King Order] without causing space-time to become chaotic.
A surprised voice suddenly resounded in the empty palace:
"Ah?"
— — it was Luo Bingli.
She asked in surprise: "You were sitting on the Divine King's throne just now, why did you suddenly fall to the ground?"
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly and tried to cover it up: "I was trying to comprehend a spell, so I accidentally made a mistake and fell down"
"From your expression, it seems this mistake affected you quite a bit?" Luo Bingli looked at him and slowly asked.
"It's not that serious, but I'll have to be a bit more serious from now on"
Gu Qing Shan stood up from the ground, slowly walked back to the Divine King's throne and sat down.
