After shouting that, Gu Qing Shan silently waited.
At this point, the world was desolate and silent.
The blood-red setting sun left behind a final ray of light, casting a murky crimson glow over the ground.
In this gloomy Space-Time that was approaching its end, the lifeless Primordial Heaven Realm felt like an illusory dream.
On the ground, the Soul Shrieker's corpse that had its head pierced through by a spear, as well as the headless Abyssal Magic Dragon's corpse remained motionless.
Only these two corpses could prove that the previous war of humanity's extinction had truly happened.
These two Abyssal monster corpses would remain in this state, until one day — — -
They revived again.
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan sensed something and looked up at the sky.
A cluster of grey light silently appeared in the middle of the sky, then slowly descended.
Boom!!!
The grey light turned into a dark grey torrent that enveloped the entire world, quickly drowning everything, forming a vast ocean that circled around Gu Qing Shan like a storm.
At this point, the entire world disappeared from Gu Qing Shan's sight.
Only the grey torrent remained within the boundless Space-Time, slowly manifesting into a giant head that was several dozen meters tall.
The giant head looked down at Gu Qing Shan.
— — the Earth World's Creator!
It revealed a rather interested expression and opened its mouth to speak.
「 Those two monsters couldn't detect my existence, but you did, how interesting 」
Gu Qing Shan politely replied: "Sometimes, strength isn't everything, your excellency"
"Then, when did you notice my existence?"
"When I killed the Abyssal Fate Weaver"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "It could read minds and perceive the emotions of living beings, but it didn't know about the existence of the [Earthen Dual Body], which meant there were only two possibilities: the first was that after I obtained this Card, the Abyssal Fate Weaver didn't read my mind; the second was that it read my mind but didn't notice this Card — — - both of these scenarios were extremely illogical"
「 Then there was the Soul Shrieker. It had schemed for so many years in order to obtain the twin swords Heaven and Earth, but from start to finish, its main body never showed up. At the final moment when the Heaven sword appeared, it didn't even manage to send a single avatar here 」
"Not only the Abyssal Fate Weaver and Soul Shrieker, but the final monster who was fighting for the twin swords Heaven and Earth — — - the Abyssal Magic Dragon also had an issue — — - its mind had become a bit muddled"
"Other than them, I also sensed something strange."
"During my battle against the Soul Shrieker and the Abyssal Magic Dragon, the world's defensive barrier was suddenly destroyed. They immediately noticed this, so they weren't in a hurry to steal the Heaven sword and instead wanted to eliminate the other competitors first"
"Also, I'm always lucky enough to avoid great damage in battle. This feeling is very familiar."
Gu Qing Shan stretched out five fingers and said, "We say that there are no coincidences on the battlefield, but in the fight just now, there were five coincidences in my favor, so this is not a coincidence."
"Among the powerful entities that I know, your excellency is the only one who possesses such power"
The Earth Creator silently listened, then displayed an expression of praise.
「 You are very perceptive 」
「 Normally, the heroes of humanity's history would feel that they had paid a great deal of effort in order to achieve victory in the end, very few were able to notice my care and assistance 」
「 To show my appreciation for your calmness, I will tell you a few things 」
It stared closely at Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a resounding voice: 「 The reason why I traveled through time to arrive at your location was because of that Eternal Abyss weapon 」
Following the Earth Creator's words, weapon components flew out from the Soul Shrieker's corpse and disappeared into the vast grey torrent in the sky.
「 This is the war of the Abyss, the Apocalypse of the infinite worlds, the moment of extinction, I cannot allow them to obtain this cornerstone weapon of the Eternal Abyss 」
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "Your excellency, I don't understand what you mean"
The Earth Creator replied: 「 I ask you, what happened when this weapon was completed? 」
"… Phantom images?"
「 Correct. Because your human leader wasn't strong enough, he wasn't able to fully utilize the weapon's power, and this weapon can actually accomplish a certain forbidden feat 」
At this point, the Earth Creator's tone became cold and solemn:
「 It can allow the wielder to travel through parallel worlds 」
Gu Qing Shan was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim in shock: "Travel to parallel worlds?"
「 Indeed, by traveling to parallel worlds, one can obtain countless benefits, such as being able to travel through the timeline of a parallel world without worrying about being erased by the Law of Time 」
Gu Qing Shan seriously thought about it.
If I travel through time in a parallel world, I must be careful to avoid my past or future self, otherwise, I would be erased by the Law of Time.
Even a Temporal Oasis wouldn't allow two identical entities to exist at the same time.
But parallel worlds are different.
During the Water Tribulation, I once ran into many versions of myself from parallel worlds.
The versions of myself from different worlds existed at the same time, but since they didn't exist in the same timeline, neither of us would be erased.
The Earth Creator continued: 「 Traveling through parallel worlds means that you will obtain twice, or more times, or even countless times more precious resources. For certain unique items, you can obtain a second, a third, or even an infinite number of them in a parallel world 」
「 Indeed, our infinite worlds are on the brink of extinction, but there are always parallel worlds that are a paradise 」
「 Although the majority of parallel worlds are essentially the same, there are always some with different destinies, and by going to such worlds, one can obtain a deeper understanding of the Laws 」
「 Furthermore, the people who died in this world, the treasures that were lost, and the knowledge that was lost were all perfectly passed down in the parallel worlds 」
「 Do you know what that means?
」 Gu Qing Shan muttered: "I can simply go to a parallel world to investigate the relevant secrets, then return to unravel everything and obtain the harvest of both worlds"
The Earth Creator spoke full of killing intent: 「 The wielder of that Abyssal weapon will obtain countless benefits, but if they don't know how to restrain themselves, they will inevitably cause chaos in the parallel worlds, spreading the Apocalypse from our world, spreading and ultimately destroying everything 」
「 At the same time, the wielder of this weapon will obtain too many benefits, becoming invincible in our world 」
「 I will not allow or permit any of the above to happen, nor will I allow this weapon to fall into the hands of the enemy 」
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "So that's how it is, I understand"
「 And so — — 」
"And so, you're telling me so much because you want me to give up on my sword?"
Gu Qing Shan's expression slowly turned resolute.
Seeing the change in him, the Earth Creator's expression became gentle.
「 Humanity and I have signed an Eternal covenant, we are mutual allies, so there is only a single small problem in front of us 」
It spoke in an echoing voice.
Gu Qing Shan noticed a certain attitude in the other party's tone and calmed down a bit: "Please ask"
The Earth Creator sighed emotionally: 「 Tiny and great humans, your desires have always been dominated by your bodies, your lifespan has been dominated by time, and your direction has been dominated by fate. But Gu Qing Shan — — - your actions have deviated from these characteristics, I find it strange 」
「 Why didn't you follow the pre-arranged procedure to obtain the Heaven sword, instead choosing to save your own kind who should have been sacrificed? 」
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "There has never been such a thing as' should have been sacrificed ', no one should have been sacrificed"
He continued:
「 Only when we are powerless to fight against something can we speak of the word 'sacrifice', and that wasn't the case at the time 」
The Earth Creator continued to ask: 「 At the time, even I was prepared to cooperate with the most reliable method and have them cover your advance. This way, you would have easily obtained the Heaven sword, and I would have been able to easily arrange everything — — - but why did you make the other choice? 」
「 Fate didn't give them a path of retreat, but it did for me, that's all 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 What if you also had no path of retreat? 」
