The howling of the torrential rain.
The night wind howled above the barren ruins.
Gu Qing Shan silently stood in the rain without moving.
The War God UI had reappeared on his body and was communicating with him.
[Welcome back to the future, Gu Qing Shan]
"How long have I been gone?"
"It's been 1 year and 79 days since you were sealed in the Drifting Sand world"
"Strange, I should have returned to the moment I left, so why did it take 1 year and 79 days to go forward?"
[You'll have to ask the thing that brought you back]
Gu Qing Shan looked up.
The Gold Coin was hovering in front of him, occasionally letting out a sorrowful cry.
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and asked: "Erm — – I have a question, why did we skip over a year of time?"
The Gold Coin let out a series of clanking noises.
Back in Shen Wu world, Gu Qing Shan had already obtained the ability to communicate with weapon spirits, so he understood right away.
"You mean, I have to skip over a year of time, otherwise I'll definitely be killed?" Gu Qing Shan confirmed again.
Ding ding! The Gold Coin let out a definite chime.
Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied: "Thank you for the luck you brought, if I had used the three coins of humanity to return, it would have been hard to tell what would have happened to me"
Ding ding ding, dong dong "the Gold Coin tiredly replied.
"Too tired? Then let's rest for a bit "Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Gold Coin slowly fell into his hand. He carefully put it away in his Inventory Bag.
Gu Qing Shan silently recalled everything that happened and sighed: "It's already been over a year, I wonder how the 900 million World Layers is doing right now"
The War God UI replied: [The most important thing is that you've returned alive, and you've even brought back the Heaven sword]
Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:
[Quest description: This is the elegy of humanity from the Age of Old. You must constantly struggle against the Divine race, Desolate race, evil creatures, and Abyssal monsters, searching for a sliver of hope for the survival of your race, as well as the weapon that will decide the outcome of this war — — - the Heaven sword]
[You've obtained the Heaven sword]
[War God Quest completed]
[You've received this War God Quest's reward — — - War God Title: Sword Demon is now yours]
[War God Title: Sword Demon]
[Equipping this title will allow you to activate the title skill: True Soul Severing Eyes]
[True Soul Severing Eyes: Ignore space and time. Instantly pull all enemies you see into a temporarily created space and attack them.]
[Note: This title is formed from your understanding of swordsmanship. It will continue to strengthen as your swordsmanship improves.]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the options for [War God Title].
Sure enough, the title "Sword Devil" was already ranked behind "Mighty General", "Ace Assassin", "Talented General", and other titles.
Title: "Starflame War God" was once again available for use.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized: "I've been through so much that I've forgotten to issue a War God Quest"
[I will not forget] the War God UI replied.
"Do you have any suggestions for what to do next?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[None, you must make your own decisions] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, but quickly realized.
That's right, everything will be decided by me, Gu Qing Shan.
This is how the War God UI does things, completely different from the [Demon King Order].
The corner of Gu Qing Shan's lips curled up.
"Alright, since this is my only path of survival, let's take a look at this world first"
He muttered and walked towards the huge object that was soaked in the rain.
— — -this was a destroyed ambush-type Mech.
When he faced his Tribulation, he returned to the future Mahesvara realm from the Age of Old, as well as the Earth World of the same era, leaving behind a Mech in the Earth World.
This Mech in front of him was covered in rust, apparently damaged for a very long time.
Its design and components were improved from what I designed at the time, but they were only minor adjustments.
— — -that's right, it's only been a bit more than a year.
This world's technology was still in the early stages of Mech research, so it didn't have the ability to make any major technological changes to the Mechs that I designed.
Gu Qing Shan carefully observed the ruined Mech.
Several critical parts of the Mech were broken, warped, and completely ruined, even its mechanical system had been destroyed.
The Mech's components were scattered all over the ground, most of them unusable.
Gu Qing Shan walked around the Mech once, then reached her hand out to touch its cold metal exterior.
— — -as if the Mech had run into an opponent that it couldn't possibly win against, it was completely destroyed by the other party's overwhelming power.
What exactly was it that was able to destroy the Mech so easily?
Gu Qing Shan walked up to the cockpit of the Mech, leaned in, and lightly pressed a button on a hidden spot.
Click!
The mechanical latch was stuck, so the thing inside couldn't be pulled out.
— — -this was an extremely intricate component that couldn't be destroyed through brute force. Normally, you need an electronic authorization to open it.
Taking into consideration that if the electronic system were to break down, this place would automatically lock up, so I've also designed a manual switch.
However, the manual method required a corresponding mechanical tool to operate it.
Gu Qing Shan put her hand on her Inventory Bag and stopped.
The last time I came to this world, I left my personal Holo-Brain and many small mechanical tools here.
At the time, I didn't even have time to retrieve them before I was teleported back by the Earth Creator.
Who knows where those things are right now.
— — -right now, I don't have any suitable tools to deal with the current situation.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and appeared cautious.
He casually took out the Heaven sword from the void of space and aimed it at a metal plate next to the latch.
Carefully controlling the force, he focused — — -
Strike.
Clang clang clang clang clang!
A series of six almost inaudible strikes.
7-8 parts jumped out from the metal plate's latch at the same time.
Bam!
The mechanical latch opened in response.
Inside was a long black metal box about the size of a palm.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and pressed his hand on the black box. The black box jumped out and landed in his hand.
At the same time, Luo Bingli's aggrieved voice resounded from the Heaven sword:
"[Heaven's Choice] is used to kill the enemy, I didn't think the first time you used such a powerful ability was to repair something"
"What happened just now was more important than killing the enemy" Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied.
"Just for this black box? What is it? "Luo Bingli asked.
"It records the process and data of every battle, allowing us to see what happened in the past" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"You're already dead, yet you can still remember what happened in the past, what a miraculous item …" Luo Bingli muttered in relief.
The Heaven sword returned to silence.
Gu Qing Shan carefully put the black box away.
— — -now I need to find the appropriate equipment to read what was recorded in the black box.
In any mecha maintenance area, there should be corresponding equipment and equipment.
Gu Qing Shan released his Three Thousand Worlds realm inner sight to scan the entire city.
Roads, buildings, corpses, trees, rivers, etc., none of them could escape Gu Qing Shan's inner sight.
Unfortunately, Mechs were weapons of mass destruction that weren't common in this world, so all items related to Mechs were strictly controlled and not easy to find.
The entire city was a desolate wasteland of death, with no signs of life to be found, not a single intact building could be found, so there was no value in searching.
Gu Qing Shan wasn't willing to give up, so she continued to spread her inner sight in every direction, searching for anything on the ground.
Finally, in a secluded area 300 miles away from the city, Gu Qing Shan found a hidden cluster of buildings.
The sign of a military research facility hung on the entrance of the building, which was also a scene of post-disaster devastation.
Although the entire research facility was destroyed, a portion of the facility's Mech maintenance facility seemed to be able to be repaired.
— — -that's enough!
In this ruined world, if there was any place that could help Gu Qing Shan read the contents of the black box, it would be this place.
