In the dark and rainy night, the raging flames illuminated the sky.
Gu Qing Shan stood at a distance, silently looking at the Mech maintenance center that was once again burnt down.
This building was still in the same state as before it was burnt down, and this was merely a repeat of the process.
After a single trip to the Age of Old, Gu Qing Shan had already become a Three Thousand Worlds realm great cultivator, a Lord-class Combatant even within the 900 million World Layers.
— — and one of the strongest Lord-class Combatants at that.
With his current realm and understanding of power, it was a simple matter for him to use the 5 Elemental Flames to simulate the technique that burnt down the maintenance center.
Staring at the burning flames, Gu Qing Shan muttered: "Alright, there's no need to worry about their safety anymore, next …"
What should I do next?
According to Anna, countless Combatants of the Strife Zones want to capture me, and they have countless means to track me down …
Gu Qing Shan touched the Silent Dusk Cloak he was wearing.
This was an item given to me by the strongest Combatant of the Bygone Era, capable of blocking the power of Magic Dragon's bloodline.
Even the Earth Creator praised this cloak for being able to conceal my presence.
With this cloak and [Mystery of All Beings Equal], the chances of me being caught aren't that high.
Gu Qing Shan stood still for a while, waiting for the flames to die down before he left this place.
He returned to the desert of this world, used [Ground Shrink], and entered the secret research room several thousand meters underground.
The secret research room hadn't been built for too long, so the Earth Creator had probably just thought of setting up something here.
But obviously, it didn't have time to complete its idea.
However, this place was well-ventilated, well-lit, and had all the necessary daily necessities. It was also well-hidden, so Gu Qing Shan decided to return here to rest.
Even though the people of the seven Holy Churches had already left this world, Gu Qing Shan still maintained his vigilance and caution.
After resting for a bit, he took out the Gold Coin from his Inventory Bag.
Gu Qing Shan already had an answer as to why the coin was letting out such a mournful cry.
Normally speaking, an extraordinary item like the Golden Coin would have a spiritual connection with its owner.
If something were to happen to Gu Qing Shan, no matter how far away Shannu and the Earth sword were, they would immediately sense it.
Although he already had a guess, he had to get an accurate answer before he could decide what to do next.
The Earth Creator was still alive, trapped, or dead, each state represented a different meaning, which would also help Gu Qing Shan decide her next course of action.
"Why hasn't your master appeared?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The golden coin floated up from Gu Qing Shan's hand and made a series of "ding ding ding ding ding" sounds.
Gu Qing Shan was a little confused.
According to the Gold Coin, the Earth Creator had cut off its spiritual connection with it.
Under normal circumstances, this connection would only appear if the owner of the coin died or voluntarily disconnected.
But the Gold Coin said that it didn't sense the Earth Creator's death beforehand.
Then, could it be that the Earth Creator voluntarily disconnected from the coin?
Gu Qing Shan carefully recalled what happened at the time.
When the Earth Creator gave me the coin, it appeared to be a bit reluctant to part with it and even emphasized that she had to return it to him after he returned.
It seems like this coin was quite precious to the Earth Creator, but because Gu Qing Shan stopped the three Abyssal Devils from stealing the Abyssal weapon, he lent it to Gu Qing Shan to use once.
If that's the case, the Earth Creator wouldn't give up on the Gold Coin so easily.
It's neither the first nor the second situation, so what exactly is going on?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and couldn't help but sigh.
The Earth Creator's level is too high, able to kill the three Abyssal Devils with just a single card.
Such an existence's thoughts and plans. None of the things they do are things that I can't even fathom.
Not to mention, before I left the Age of Old, I heard him say that he wanted to take a look at the Abyssal Gate.
— — the current me doesn't have the qualifications to investigate the Abyssal Gate.
Everything is still unclear.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Gold Coin and continued to ask: "Do you have any other methods to find out the truth?"
The Gold Coin hovered in the air for a while, seemingly hesitant about something.
Finally, it circled around Gu Qing Shan and let out a series of chimes.
"What? Wait a minute, I don't understand "
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said.
The Gold Coin patiently let out a series of chimes.
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened and couldn't help but ask: "Can I really find the Earth Creator's tracks like this?"
"Ding Dong!" the Gold Coin said.
"Alright, I won't lose anything from this, and I also want to know if that great one is still alive or not, as long as you agree, I have no objections" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Hearing him say that, the Gold Coin didn't wait any longer.
It let out a golden glow and hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan put her finger on the golden glow, slowly dragged it in the air, and wrote her name.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
— — -blood-red text is too blinding, this type of cold glowing text is much more comforting.
[You've formed a covenant with the Gold Coin]
[The Gold Coin is a Law Soul Artifact of the Land of the Four Saint Pillars. According to the Law of the Four Saint Pillars, when one of the Saint Pillars forms a covenant, the Law Manifestation Soul Artifacts of the other three Saint Pillars will bear witness]
The lines of glowing text disappeared.
In a flash, the secret room Gu Qing Shan was in disappeared.
The entire world turned into a vast sea of stars.
For some unknown reason, Gu Qing Shan and the Gold Coin both appeared in this place.
Following that, three other items appeared.
A cyan key.
A crimson pendant.
A black book.
The Gold Coin flew up and began to communicate with these three items.
Clink clink clink clink clink
Si, si si si si "
Clap clap clap, clap clap clap
Chirp chirp chirp chirp
They began to chat with each other.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Soul Artifacts manifested from the Law of the Four Saint Pillars with interest.
The blue key was the Wind Key, representing the Wind Pillar, its ability was to open all doors and reach all places.
The crimson pendant was the Flame Spirit Pendant, representing the Flame Pillar, its ability was to create miracles and accomplish unimaginable things.
The black book was the Book of the Seabed, representing the Water Pillar, its ability was to record all knowledge.
As for the Gold Coin, it naturally represented the Earth Pillar, its ability was [True Luck].
The four Law Soul Artifacts conversed for a bit, then flew around Gu Qing Shan, occasionally whispering to each other as if they were criticizing him.
The Gold Coin continued to let out clanking noises as it explained the situation to the other three Law Soul Artifacts.
A few moments later, the four Soul Artifacts hovered in the air, exuding golden, red, blue, and black light that formed a line and resonated with each other.
The sound of resonance grew louder and louder, almost passing through the entire vast sea of stars, shaking countless worlds.
Right when Gu Qing Shan was about to reach his limit, the sound abruptly disappeared.
The starry sky abruptly faded away.
Gu Qing Shan found himself still sitting in the secret room, as if everything that happened just now was nothing but an illusion.
Ding dong!
A tired voice resounded from the sky.
The Gold Coin descended and landed in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
"How is it, did you find that great one?" Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.
The Gold Coin let out a series of noises.
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened.
— — when all four Saint Pillar Soul Artifacts appeared at the same time, they would be able to search for the whereabouts of any entity, regardless of who that entity was or what state they were in.
The reason why the Gold Coin proposed to form a covenant with Gu Qing Shan earlier was to summon the other three Law Soul Artifacts.
They searched for the Earth Creator's whereabouts together and found the answer.
Ding ding dong, ding dong ding dong "the Gold Coin muttered in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while as he listened.
"You mean, that great one isn't dead, but isn't anywhere?" he asked again.
"Ding dong" the Gold Coin confirmed.
"… What kind of situation is this?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
