The setting sun was as red as blood.
High up in the sky, layers of clouds obscured everything, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening above.
Two immense masses of energy were clashing and clashing in the clouds.
— — the gaping hole in the sky was obviously the aftermath of their battle.
The air currents of the entire world were sucked into the hole like a vortex.
On the ground, countless pieces of blood, mud, broken limbs, broken armor, and all sorts of other items rose up at a slow speed and flew towards the hole.
The war between humanity and the Desolate monsters had reached its final moments.
Throughout the entire battlefield, countless monsters were rampaging about, killing off the human cultivators who tried to resist.
At the back of humanity's camp, over a dozen top-level cultivators were surrounding a white-haired old man, forming hand seals towards the sword embryo in front of the old man to speed up the forging process.
The reason why they were willing to risk everything to forge this sword was because Xie Gu Hong obtained the method to forge the twin swords Heaven and Earth from the Tie Wei Fortress.
According to the legends, the twin swords Heaven and Earth were extremely powerful, specifically used to kill the Divine race and Desolate monsters.
— — -and now, the Heaven sword's forging process was at its most crucial point.
The fate of humanity would be decided here.
At least, that was what the entire cultivation world believed.
"My forging process is complete"
A Three Thousand Worlds realm great cultivator stopped his hand seals and declared.
He flew away, heading towards the frontlines as fast as he could, quickly leading a group of cultivators into the midst of the countless monsters.
After him, every other great cultivator who had completed their tasks also joined the battle.
— — -the Desolate monsters were completely suppressing humanity's camp, the battle had reached its most desperate point, so they had to immediately go up and fight.
Humanity was still at the final moment before their defeat.
As the war progressed, the Desolate monsters would gradually gain the upper hand, slowly killing off all of humanity's high-leveled cultivators until they finally won the war.
That would also be the moment when the Heaven sword was forged and fused into a weapon of the Eternal Abyss.
All of this had been repeated countless times.
But today, at this very moment, it would all be repeated for the final time.
The fate of everyone, the struggle between humanity and the Abyss, would be decided in this final moment.
At this point.
Gu Qing Shan had arrived.
Without any warning, they silently appeared at the most secluded corner of the battlefield.
Luo Bingli appeared first, landing on the back of a hill.
Next was Shannu who was hugging Little Dusk — — - she had returned to her original appearance.
The last one was Gu Qing Shan.
Luo Bingli took out a jade scroll and said while looking at it, "Let's follow the steps."
"Alright, go ahead" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Look to the North, the Desolate monsters are coming from that direction, there are a few human armies on their way" Luo Bingli told him.
Gu Qing Shan raised her head and narrowed her eyes as she surveyed the entire battlefield. She nodded and said, "Eight attacking formations, one swordsman camp responsible for charging, three spell formations, two vanguard camps for combat cultivators, one supply team, and a team of thirty array formation masters."
He muttered: "The vanguard battalion near us can't hold on much longer, the signs of defeat are gradually becoming clear."
Luo Bingli confirmed: "That's right, it's this vanguard battalion — — after everyone in this vanguard battalion is dead, an entire army of monsters will pass through this camp to attack the spell formations"
"So what?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That way, a gap will appear in the monsters' charge, look over there — — -"
Luo Bingli pointed at another formation.
That was a formation made up of sword cultivators, ready to provide support at any moment.
"I can see it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Follow me later" Luo Bingli said, "once the vanguard battalion is wiped out, we'll immediately charge through that gap and reach the sword cultivator camp"
"And then what?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Luo Bingli replied: "I'll take out the Immortal King's badge and order them to charge to meet the enemy. This way, we'll have another gap to pass through the Desolate monster army and head towards the weapon forging location again"
Gu Qing Shan went silent briefly, then said: "If that's the case, they'll all die"
Luo Bingli replied: "They will all die, they won't exist in the future, so there's no need for you to pity them"
"What would happen if I saved them?" Gu Qing Shan asked, thinking about it.
Luo Bingli was shocked and hurriedly told her: "You definitely can't do that, because the past several ten thousand years of history has already been fixed, the only thing that remains uncertain is this one moment. If you change the events of this moment, it will greatly affect the countless people and events of the past several ten thousand years, you will also be erased by both time and fate"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Because they won't appear in the future, they must die at this moment in order to conform to the future development of the world, is that right?"
"That's right!" Luo Bingli was still shaken.
"But the three coins are able to travel through Space-Time and change many things, while the one who uses the coins is completely fine" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
"That's why the three coins are able to disturb Space-Time too much, attracting terrifying monsters to humanity, this is the root cause of all calamities!" Luo Bingli replied.
"I understand"
Gu Qing Shan nodded to express her understanding.
Luo Bingli continued: "Regardless, as long as I have the Immortal King's badge, wherever we go on the battlefield, human cultivators will die for the sake of you, the one who took the sword — — - this will be the last time, the Heaven sword is the most important, it cannot fall into the hands of the Abyssal monsters"
"Furthermore, in another 30 breaths' worth of time, the vanguard battalion will arrive at this hill. At that time, I will use the Immortal King's badge to order them to charge into the enemy ranks and complete their sacrifice as soon as possible, this will save us time"
Luo Bingli stopped.
There was no response.
She turned around and was surprised: "Wait a minute, what are you doing?"
Only to see Gu Qing Shan taking out several balls of light, carefully inspecting them.
"I need to make some preparations for battle" he said without looking up.
Due to the lack of time and the lack of materials in the Divine King's treasury, Gu Qing Shan had to use up all the materials he collected from the Abyssal Warden to create these 30 individual combat Soul Artifacts.
These were all extremely valuable materials, but they were all used up in one go.
What was even more uneconomical was that in order to learn how to create these experimental Soul Artifacts, Gu Qing Shan spent over 1 million Soul Points through [War God Skills].
What was even more uneconomical was that these Soul Artifacts had an expiration date.
In no time at all, these individual combat Soul Artifacts would turn into sentient Divinities.
But this time, they could be put to good use.
A ball of light appeared in Gu Qing Shan's hand and lightly touched it.
The ball of light turned into a miniature humanoid creature with light all over its body.
In between this humanoid creature's eyebrows, a burning flame was silently drifting.
The miniature Divinity's expression was blank as he spoke without any emotions:
「 I am the Fire Spirit Bearer, would you like to fight? 」
Following his voice, Gu Qing Shan's body was filled with Fire spirit energy.
He originally had the power of Lightning, and now that he was infused with Fire spirit energy, it was the same as having two types of power at the same time.
Gu Qing Shan held a twisted ball of light in his hand and crushed it.
An invisible flow of air exuded from his body.
Following that, black cracks appeared and disappeared one after another, circling around his body.
Three types of power were infused into a single person at the same time.
This had broken through the limits of the Laws.
"What are you …" Luo Bingli hesitantly asked.
"I made a few individual combat Soul Artifacts with an expiration date, this is the first time I'm going to test their combat prowess" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"You actually managed to make all of these things, it's quite impressive that you still remember that the Divinities were originally single-combat Soul Artifacts for war" Luo Bingli sighed.
"If you want to achieve great things, you have to do it carefully" Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
He touched another ball of light.
One after another, the balls of light were touched and turned into Soul Artifacts that hovered behind him.
Finally, there was only one ball of light left floating in the air.
Gu Qing Shan didn't touch it.
He recalled what that person told him when he received the inheritance in the Divine King's vault — — -
"In truth, other than Magic-type power, I've also tried to incorporate power from various other directions, such as Mystic-type, Savage, Technological, Dark Spirit, Nihility, etc. In short, I've created many combinations of power that I've never seen before"
The person continued to explain on the screen.
"This individual combat Soul Artifact is different from the previous one, it contains Savage power, but I've been unable to absorb its power, so I infused it with Mystic-type power and finally succeeded"
The person slowly explained.
With a light leap, he jumped into the air.
Suddenly, his entire form began to change.
After the demonstration, the man continued.
"As you all know, the Indestructible Giant is a very famous type of wondrous creature, its body is very hard to be destroyed by physical attacks, and all magic power is useless against it"
"And now, I've used this individual combat Soul Artifact to absorb its power"
The Indestructible Giant clenched his fist, about to punch the ground.
Then he stopped.
"Ahaha, I almost forgot myself, this warehouse wouldn't be able to withstand the combined power of me and the Indestructible Giant"
The glowing rock giant slowly shrank and turned back into the person from before.
…
Gu Qing Shan held the ball of light in her hand and held her breath, waiting.
Finally, it was time.
The vanguard battalion was fighting while retreating towards the hill.
Luo Bingli told them again: "I'll order them not to retreat, after they've all died, we'll immediately head for the sword cultivator camp, understood?"
Gu Qing Shan sighed and told Shannu: "When we move, you'll do everything you can to protect Little Dusk and follow me"
Shannu nervously nodded.
At this point, the vanguard battalion had finally retreated to the front of the hill.
Luo Bingli took out a glowing badge and leapt from behind the hill.
Gu Qing Shan quickly followed.
"Everyone, listen up!"
She shouted loudly.
The cultivators looked over and saw Gu Qing Shan and Luo Bingli standing on top of the hill.
A heavily wounded general came forward, scanned the badge with his inner sight and loudly said: "So it's the Immortal King's badge, please give your orders!"
As soon as the cultivators saw the badge, they all seemed to have found a pillar of support and focused their attention on it.
Luo Bingli stayed silent for a bit, feeling a bit troubled to even open her mouth.
She knew how strict humanity's military orders were, and that wherever she went with this badge, it would be the same as the Immortal King himself.
She also knew what would happen to these cultivators whose eyes were filled with hope and desire.
— — as long as I say it, these cultivators will immediately go to their deaths.
Luo Bingli bit her lip.
Don't think about it, these are all necessary sacrifices.
Indeed, for the sake of humanity, for the sake of the Heaven sword, countless people must be sacrificed in exchange for a final chance!
All of this must be done!
Luo Bingli raised the badge and loudly declared: "I order you — — -"
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan nimbly received her badge.
"Military orders cannot be delayed, you're too slow to speak, let me do it" he said.
Luo Bingli froze.
Gu Qing Shan took a step forward and raised the Immortal King's badge high.
Countless miniature Divinities appeared from the void of space behind him.
Blood-red Flame Spirit, deep white Frost Spirit, blue Wind Spirit, blue-white Lightning, darkness and white light, illusion and reality, shadow and reality, sharpness and blunt force …
Boundless power continued to pour into his body.
This caused everyone to be shocked.
This completely toppled humanity's understanding — — - but that didn't stop them from using their inner sight to confirm exactly how terrifying this power was.
This was a power that surpassed humanity, a power that surpassed even the Divine race!
Suddenly, someone began to cry.
"So we won't die" someone sobbed.
"I knew there was still hope for us," another person murmured.
"Look! Look! This is humanity's power! This is the power of our human race! "Someone shouted hysterically as if he had gone mad.
Gu Qing Shan turned to look at Luo Bingli.
Luo Bingli was already stunned.
"You … will die" she blankly muttered.
"No, no one will die"
Gu Qing Shan resolutely replied.
He took out the final cluster of light and lightly tapped it.
The cluster of light scattered into sprites of light that were absorbed into his body.
Boom!
A pair of gigantic feet landed on the ground, giving off a resounding rumble.
Its skin was dark gray, and its body was made of a bright rock. Its entire body was surrounded by a fierce killing intent.
Gu Qing Shan had turned into an Indestructible Giant that was over 6 meters tall.
Several hundred flying swords appeared from the void of space and fused together to form a gigantic sword.
The Indestructible Giant wielded the sword.
