Gu Qing Shan quickly left the room.
A telepathic voice resounded in his mind:
"Xie Qi Ruler, I've noticed something wrong with the surrounding ocean"
This was the Silent Ruler's voice.
Gu Qing Shan didn't stop and replied: "Can you undo your covenant with the Lord of Total Distortion?"
"I can, but I will have to pay a heavy price"
"Don't worry about the price for now, the Lord of Total Distortion is colluding with the 100-million-year-old ancient sea beast to sell us all out, if you can escape, run away now"
『What!?』 the Silent Ruler exclaimed in shock.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything else.
As he was about to leave, he abruptly stopped.
Because at this crucial moment, lines of blood-red text appeared on the [Kindling] UI:
[Kindling has switched to evolution mode]
[Attention, the Evolution Quest has officially been issued]
[Quest description: The ancient demonic sea creatures are currently collecting the Life Mysteries of the evil creatures to research how to completely suppress them, they are close to succeeding]
[Quest objective: All evil creatures on the ship will be killed and made into specimens by the demonic sea creatures. Please do not leave, during the entire process of making specimens, maintain a concealed state and survive until the end so that [Kindling] can extract the Life Mysteries and Soul Points of the evil creatures and complete this evolution]
[Quest reward: You will receive the download of Worlds Apocalypse Online: Origin]
Gu Qing Shan read through it all at once.
At the same time, fog began to form above the ocean.
The frigid fog quickly spread and enveloped the entire ship.
The fog was so thick that it didn't scatter, even if it was blown away by some evil creatures who could manipulate wind, it would quickly gather again and become more and more.
The evil creatures' vision was getting worse and worse, they couldn't see anything outside of the ship.
A desperate scream suddenly resounded from within the fog.
This seemed to be the beginning. Scattered screams and screams began to resound around the ship.
— — -around the ship, the evil creatures that were patrolling and catching fish were still floating in the water.
The sound of battle could be heard.
These sounds didn't last for too long and quickly returned to silence.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker.
Unprecedented noises suddenly resounded from the city-sized ship.
Screams, explosions, shouts, and crashing noises all converged into one, shaking the sky.
Gu Qing Shan seemed to have sensed something and immediately activated [Ground Shrink], disappearing from where she was.
At the place where he stood, a fleshy tentacle drilled out from the ground and scattered in all directions.
Gu Qing Shan appeared on the other side of the ship, hovering in mid-air, using her inner sight to sense the scene in front of her.
Countless black fleshy tentacles were gradually occupying the ship.
These fleshy tentacles wriggled madly and coiled around the devils' bodies, making them unable to struggle.
The devils attacked with all their might, but it was useless against these flesh tentacles.
Then, these demons let out a blood-curdling scream, and their bodies gradually shriveled up.
While they were still alive, all of their flesh and bones were sucked away by the flesh tentacles, leaving only their skin behind.
The excruciating pain was unbearable even for the toughest of devils.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but frown.
Although he had seen many cruel punishments, the scene in front of him had long surpassed the scope of punishment.
Suddenly, he saw a running demon waving a kitchen knife while running away in a panic.
"Tch …"
Gu Qing Shan sighed helplessly.
This was a chef on the ship that he was acquainted with, the two of them had exchanged a lot of cooking experiences.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then released several dozen flying swords to help the chef escape.
But more and more flesh tentacles were appearing on the ship, at this rate, Gu Qing Shan wouldn't be able to protect him.
"[Kindling], will all the evil creatures on this ship die?" he asked.
[Kindling] replied: [Yes, the demonic sea creatures only need a sample of the evil creatures to conduct research. During the process of making the sample, [Kindling] will automatically collect Soul Points, please do not worry about Soul Points, please do your best to survive]
After saying that, [Kindling] went silent.
It seemed to be hurriedly doing something.
On [Kindling]'s UI.
Gu Qing Shan's Soul Points were continuously increasing. At the same time, another notification appeared on the UI:
[Currently collecting and analyzing the corresponding Mysteries of Life's origin]
Gu Qing Shan looked around — — -
More and more evil creatures were being caught by the flesh tentacles.
The city-sized ship was carrying several million evil creatures, but under the frenzied capture of the flesh tentacles, the evil creatures were dying in large numbers.
Correspondingly, the Soul Points value on [Kindling]'s UI was increasing, it had already broken through 900,000 and was steadily approaching 1 million.
Gu Qing Shan didn't appear to be happy at all.
This Soul Points would be used by [Kindling] to evolve, and this kind of plundering method of Soul Points absorption still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
— — the flesh tentacles were absorbing the evil creatures' flesh, while the [Demon King Order] was absorbing the evil creatures' soul power.
"I just don't need to do anything …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Desperate screams and death continued to spread, the entire ship had turned into a living hell on the sea.
However, as Gu Qing Shan stood still, a layer of black fog appeared from his armor and enveloped him.
Very quickly, the black fog and Gu Qing Shan both disappeared into the void of space.
— — [Embrace of Black Fog]: [When you stand still, the black fog will conceal your whereabouts, only enemies 3 realms higher than you will be able to detect you]
At this point, Gu Qing Shan was already a Void Wanderer realm cultivator, only enemies at Paragon realm or higher would be able to detect his whereabouts.
With that in mind, the owner of these flesh tentacles should be a Three Thousand Worlds realm cultivator.
Perhaps close to Paragon realm, but not quite there yet.
In both the Primordial Heaven Realm and Primordial Wraith Realm, this would be a very powerful existence.
Gu Qing Shan silently pondered.
At a certain moment, he suddenly moved his body slightly.
The black fog scattered.
Gu Qing Shan's figure appeared from the void of space.
[Kindling] immediately noticed and quickly warned him:
[Your excellency, please continue to conceal your whereabouts to avoid dying here]
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "It's fine"
At this point, a few flesh tentacles had already noticed Gu Qing Shan's appearance.
The flesh tentacles stood up from the ground and rushed towards him.
With a single thought from Gu Qing Shan, countless flying swords appeared from the void of space and gave off sharp sword qi.
The flying swords surrounded the flesh tentacles.
All the flesh tentacles were sliced into tiny pieces.
"To the current me, this thing really isn't that powerful" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
— — -a sword cultivator had always been a powerful attacker, not to mention he was already a Void Wanderer realm cultivator.
Using Void Wanderer realm spirit energy to channel a sword seal was more than enough to create a powerful attack.
Regardless of whether it was among humans or as an evil creature, the current Gu Qing Shan could be considered one of the most powerful people in the world.
Even by the standards of the future, he was already a Lord-class existence.
In the air, as soon as the flesh tentacles were cut, the other flesh tentacles reacted.
Countless flesh tentacles swarmed towards Gu Qing Shan in a frenzy.
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
When all the flesh tentacles were about to wrap around his body, he suddenly disappeared from the void of space.
A wooden table appeared in the void of space where he stood.
With a single touch of the flesh tentacles, the entire wooden table collapsed.
The flesh tentacles immediately noticed that something wasn't right, so they began to frantically search the air.
But they couldn't find that powerful guy no matter how hard they tried.
— — – Gu Qing Shan was already standing on the other side of the ship, hiding in a secluded corner.
The black mist spread out from his armor and disappeared together with him.
[Kindling]'s voice suddenly came:
[What are you doing, sir? This is very dangerous, if you get caught by those flesh tentacles, even I won't be able to save you. Please be careful, don't play around with your own safety]
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "Two members of the chef team have already died — — these guys are very skilled, the seafood they make is quite unique"
[Kindling] replied: [Please be patient, the evolution will require a total of 2 million Soul Points, it will be completed in about 15 minutes]
"So all I need to do is stand still?"
[That is correct]
Boom — — -
An intense sound of explosions resounded in the sky.
Gu Qing Shan looked up.
Only to see that the Silent Ruler was leading a few of the most powerful evil creatures to fight against the endless flesh tentacles in the sky.
But the Silent Ruler's strength couldn't even compare to Gu Qing Shan before she evolved, so she couldn't last too long against the endless flesh tentacles.
Gu Qing Shan silently watched as these evil creatures struggled in the sky.
"[Kindling], I actually have a suggestion"
He finally spoke up.
[You want to save these evil creatures?] [Kindling] sharply asked.
"No, the Lord of Total Distortion sold me to the demonic sea creatures like a can of food, that really pissed me off"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "As for saving these evil creatures — — - I've gotten to know them quite well recently, so I don't like it when I see some of my friends die in front of me"
[Kindling] sternly replied: [Your excellency, please do not do anything pointless. Not only will that cause your excellency to lose your life, the [Order] will also suffer a heavy blow]
"It's not what you think" Gu Qing Shan slowly replied, "What I mean is, are you really satisfied with just 2 million Soul Points? If I can get more Soul Points, would you need it? "
[With your current strength, you cannot do that] [Kindling] replied.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Furthermore, I can see that you're collecting the Life Mysteries of the evil creatures, but what about the demonic sea creatures? They are monsters that can live for over 100 million years, the Mysteries on their bodies are most likely worth collecting "
[That's true, but we can't win against the demonic sea creatures, nor can we collect their Life Mysteries] [Kindling] replied.
"You're wrong"
"I'm wrong?"
Gu Qing Shan commented: "That's right, as the [Demon King Order], your steps are too small, and too cautious"
[Kindling] said nothing.
This was the first time someone had criticized it like that after so many years.
It began to seriously collect the corresponding information.
Gu Qing Shan's voice became gentle and continued: [Trust me, leave the rest to me, I guarantee we'll get a great harvest — — - and I'll even get my revenge]
[What will we get?]
[Soul Points, the Life Mysteries of a 100-million-year-old demonic sea creature]
[Are you sure you can do that?] [Kindling] asked.
[Of course, I want to become the Demon King of the [Order], if I can't even do that, I might as well die right now]
Gu Qing Shan answered without hesitation.
[Kindling] went silent for a bit, seemingly making a decision.
What Gu Qing Shan said was very attractive to it.
[Very well] [Kindling] finally replied, [I will fully support your decision, I hope you'll be able to bring a large amount of Soul Points and the Life Mysteries of the demonic sea creatures]
…
In the sky.
The evil creatures who were struggling to hold on felt their spirits lifted.
The Xie Qi Ruler had also joined the battle!
This was a powerful evil Ruler with outstanding combat prowess.
Sure enough, as soon as it entered the battlefield, countless flying swords shot out and cut off a large number of its flesh tentacles.
All the evil creatures on the ship that were still alive quickly gathered around the Xie Qi Ruler.
The Silent Ruler flew over and told Gu Qing Shan: [The entire space around us has been sealed, we can't go any further than 30 miles away from the ship]
She silently used telepathy and silently told Gu Qing Shan:
[I've checked the area below the sea, there are only 100-million-year-old demonic sea creatures]
Gu Qing Shan quickly asked: [Can we win against 100-million-year-old demonic sea creatures?]
The Silent Ruler replied: [You must be joking, once a demonic sea creature's lifespan exceeds 100 million years, they would at least be at the level of an evil Ruler, but most of them would be at the same level as the Lord of Total Distortion — — or even beyond!]
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said nothing.
After being with the Lord of Total Distortion for so long, he had a general understanding of the other party's strength.
— — -the Lord of Total Distortion had probably reached the peak of the Three Thousand Worlds realm, combined with his Mystic-type Skills, he could easily fight against a Paragon realm early stage enemy.
The Silent Ruler spoke in despair: [Seems like we won't be able to escape this time, we're all going to die here]
Gu Qing Shan nodded and casually replied: [That's right, that's why I need your help]
[Help?]
While controlling her flying swords to fight, Gu Qing Shan loudly spoke: [That's right, take out your covenants and have all the evil creatures on our side sign a covenant to not attack me during the chaos]
The Silent Ruler froze.
She quickly understood.
It seems this Xie Qi Ruler has an extremely powerful technique that he's about to unleash, one that can change the entire situation.
But normally speaking, this type of technique that far surpasses the evil creature's own strength would cause various side effects.
At that time, the Xie Qi Ruler would probably become temporarily weakened.
— — -the Xie Qi Ruler said that most likely because he was afraid that someone would ambush him from behind!
After all, this had happened too many times among the evil creatures.
The Xie Qi Ruler loudly voiced his worries. Very quickly, the other evil creatures also understood after thinking for a bit.
Everyone signed the contract as quickly as possible.
— — -if there really was a life-saving technique, they would be more than happy for the Xie Qi Ruler to use it right away.
[Alright, those who are still alive have signed, no one will be able to attack you, please use your technique]
The Silent Ruler gave a scroll to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at it briefly before putting the scroll away.
"I don't have any techniques that I can use, but I'm feeling a bit annoyed today, so I want to have a good fight"
His voice resounded among the remaining evil creatures.
The Silent Ruler froze and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Only to see a drop of blood that gave off a frigid presence silently hovering in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Gu Qing Shan held this drop of blood.
