Several ten thousand years ago.
A fragment of a parallel world.
Gu Qing Shan was currently in the Primordial Wraith Realm's Chaos Demonic Sea, holding the Key of the Seal in her hand while discussing with [Kindling] whether or not to go to the Eternal Abyss.
At the same time that he was doing that.
Several ten thousand years later.
The Strife Zones.
A certain world filled with endless sin.
A young man wearing a pair of sunglasses and an exquisite black suit walked into a bar.
He looked very tired, his body was full of wounds that hadn't healed yet, he almost tripped several times as he walked.
But no one in the bar dared to provoke him.
"Quite a decent killing intent"
"He's a good fighter"
"Hm …"
"A big problem, don't mess with him"
Everyone was whispering to each other.
The young man walked straight up to the bar counter and greeted the bartender.
"Give me a bottle of your best liquor, also tell your boss to come out"
His tone was calm as he flipped a coin in his hand.
Seeing the coin in his hand, the bartender immediately poured him a glass of liquor and respectfully said: "Please wait a moment"
The bartender took out a coin and put it on the table.
The coin instantly disappeared and turned into a black curtain that completely covered the table where the young man was sitting.
When the others saw this, they immediately understood what was going on and left the place.
The young man turned a blind eye to the black curtain that shrouded him. He raised his glass and slowly drank from it.
The bartender quickly left.
A few moments later, a drunken fat man followed the bartender to the bar counter.
As he walked, he listened to the bartender's description. When he heard the detailed description of the coin, he smiled brightly.
He also walked into the curtain.
— — the curtain had a very high level of concealment, making it impossible for the outside world to notice anything happening inside.
"Esteemed guest, your presence truly brings light to our humble establishment"
"Esteemed guest?" The young man put the glass down and scowled: "Your liquor is only 70% water, that's a bit too much"
The fat bartender sincerely explained: "Normally, we only give you poison, but seeing that you're a professional, we only give you fake liquor, and seeing that coin in your hand, we only give you real liquor"
"Then, how can I drink the real liquor?"
"I'm sorry, but that would ruin the bar's reputation, so we definitely won't do that."
"That makes sense."
The young man drank the watered wine in one gulp and then slapped the coin in his hand on the table.
"This is the # 791 coin, a rare item, check it first" he said.
The fat boss smiled.
He didn't seem to do anything, but the coin was already in his hand.
He squinted his eyes and carefully examined the coin.
Suddenly, he squeezed the coin hard.
A series of "ka ka ka ka ka" sounds rang out.
The coin turned into a silver pistol.
The fat boss looked at the silver gun and said: "# 791 coin, the Assassin's Gun, it really is the real deal"
He reluctantly put the silver pistol back on the table.
The pistol left the man's hand and quickly turned back into a coin.
Indeed, this was number 791 of the 1001 coins of the Strife Zones, created by the Gods.
It could directly transform into a pistol with special abilities.
The fat boss spoke with satisfaction: "There's no mistake about it, this coin is extremely rare and valuable, you can now issue the mission"
"There's no hurry" the young man casually replied: "I heard that in this world, all high-ranking assassination missions are issued by you"
The fat boss nodded: "Our service has always been the most professional, so we've always had a good reputation"
"That's good" the young man sighed in relief and continued: "I want to put a bounty on a single person in the entire World of Sin, as long as a hitman can kill him, they'll receive this coin in my hand"
The fat boss carefully asked: "Then what's the reward for our bar?"
"According to your rules, it'll be deducted from this coin" the young man replied.
The fat boss clapped his hands and smiled: "Then there's no problem, who do you want to kill?"
The young man replied: "I want to kill a hitman"
The fat boss praised: "Hmm, this quest is starting to be worthy of your coin, please continue."
"The hitman's name is Jang Young-ho, a human, his height, weight, and appearance are exactly the same as me"
The fat boss looked at the young man's appearance and said: "I've memorized it"
"Very well, the mission will begin from — — - hm, tomorrow morning" the young man said.
"We can issue a mission for you right away, that way, the guy called Jang Young-ho won't even see the sun tomorrow morning" the fat boss smiled and said.
"No, no, no, that won't do, I still want to drink tonight and have a good night's sleep, only then will I be able to deal with the pursuit tomorrow"
Saying so, the young man poured himself another glass of liquor and drank it all in one gulp.
The fat boss' smile froze.
An unbelievable truth was loitering in his mind, to the point where he couldn't hold it in anymore:
"Esteemed guest, you mean, you're issuing a mission for all hitmen in this world to hunt you down?"
Jang Young-ho replied: "You're not mistaken"
"I've been hungry for five whole days," he said to the bartender. "Go to the restaurant outside and bring me a plate of fried rice with five eggs. After I'm done eating, bring me two bottles of the same wine. I'll sleep here tonight."
The bartender glanced at the fat boss.
The fat boss nodded.
The bartender quickly left.
The fat boss looked at Jang Young-ho like he was looking at a monster.
He pointed at his head and asked: "Are you alright here?"
Jang Young-ho shrugged: "As a veteran hitman with over 10 years of experience, I'm bound to have some mental issues, but I'm sure I'm not what you think"
The fat boss's expression became even more curious: "Then why did you issue a mission to kill yourself? You should know that every hitman in this world will want to kill you and exchange your head for that coin "
Jang Young-ho lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and replied: "Because there are too many hitmen in this world, it would be a bit troublesome to go after them one by one — — as you know, according to the rules of this industry, once you accept a mission, you can't give up unless the target is dead, so I decided to have them all come after me, that would be more convenient"
"More convenient?" the fat boss doubtfully asked.
"More convenient for me to kill them, or be killed by them" Jang Young-ho smiled.
The fat boss froze.
He had always been a shrewd and experienced veteran, but at this moment, he felt like his brain had completely rusted.
"Esteemed guest, I know I shouldn't ask too much, but if you answer me, I will provide you with the best guest room in this place for free" the fat boss said.
"Free guest room? That's not bad, ask away "
"Why do you want to have all the hitmen in this world come after you?"
"I've already traveled through 37 worlds, constantly exchanging pointers with other people of the same profession, improving my own level through heated exchanges"
Jang Young-ho took a sip and continued: "This time will be no exception"
The fat boss froze.
…
Let's go back in time.
Several ten thousand years ago.
The phantom images of the Age of Old.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the air with a hesitant expression.
[Kindling] continued to advise her: "Your sword is right, not to mention, once you ascend to a higher position, you will have countless demons and servants working for you, this isn't something worth risking your life for"
"When will I have subordinates?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"When I enter [Revolution]"
"You're currently [Kindling], about to evolve to [Origin], then [Revolution]?"
"Correct"
"Alright, I won't enter the Eternal Abyss" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"A wise decision" [Kindling] praised her.
"Then, I trust that you've obtained enough Soul Points and Life Mysteries, please evolve quickly, I need you to become stronger" Gu Qing Shan said.
[Kindling] didn't answer.
Lines of dark-red text kept appearing on the interface.
[All conditions have been met]
[Evolution has officially begun]
[Kindling will temporarily enter a dormant state to complete this evolution]
All the crimson text had been displayed.
The entire [Kindling] UI disappeared from Gu Qing Shan's sight.
The [Demon King Order] had entered a dormant state.
This was similar to what happened in Triste's collection world, when the [Order] began to evolve, it would temporarily disappear from the demonized.
At the time, Gu Qing Shan also took that chance to turn the tables.
Gu Qing Shan stopped for a while.
The [Order] didn't react at all.
Seems like it's really evolving …
"Very good, now there's no one to nag at me anymore" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He looked towards the distance.
— — that was the direction of the Ocean Abyss.
According to the jade gourd pendant Adorable, the Lord of Total Distortion's ship was heading in that direction.
Gu Qing Shan pondered a bit, then tapped her Inventory Bag to take out the jade gourd pendant Adorable.
Wu wu?
(What is it?)
The gourd asked.
"Take me to where they trade" Gu Qing Shan said.
Wu wu, xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu?
(Strange, didn't you just say that you wouldn't enter the Eternal Abyss?)
The gourd curiously asked.
Gu Qing Shan agreed: "I'm not going in, I'm just going to take a stroll outside"
Wu wu wu?
(Is there a difference?)
The gourd doubtfully asked.
Gu Qing Shan explained: "I have to understand the situation — — - exploring and seeking knowledge is the best way to change one's fate, I need to see if there's any new information there"
