The 41st day after the Earth World's destruction.
Several thousand meters below the desert, inside a secret research room.
Gu Qing Shan was calmly sitting there.
A pot of spirit tea had been brewed.
Gu Qing Shan picked up the pot, poured himself a cup, and took a sip.
The spirit tea was fragrant and elegant, having a certain amount of refreshing properties.
Under normal circumstances, Gu Qing Shan would drink a bit to pass the time and rest.
Only when he needed to be absolutely awake would he brew a pot of spirit tea, slowly drink, and slowly think.
Indeed, he was trapped in this destroyed world.
Regardless of what happened to the Earth Creator, this was a fact that couldn't be changed.
As a Three Thousand Worlds realm cultivator, Gu Qing Shan could naturally cut open the void of space and travel to another world by himself.
— — but what was outside the Earth World? The Abyss or the 900 million World Layers?
Were there Abyssal monsters watching from the shadows?
How would I return to the 900 million World Layers from here?
Everything was unknown.
Gu Qing Shan drank the entire cup of tea, then poured himself another.
He silently pondered.
After an unknown amount of time, he held the cup of tea, stood up, walked to the end of the secret room, opened the large-scale data storage system, and began to look through the knowledge and information stored in this world.
The last time he entered this world, he had already broken through the world's network defense system and obtained the corresponding authority, so entering the system again was as easy as flipping his hand over.
"If you've prepared this place, I don't believe that there aren't any clues at all …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered as he flipped through the data.
— — -a great entity like the Earth Creator would never do anything useless.
As soon as he entered this world, Gu Qing Shan had already skimmed through the data.
Other than a few Mech designs that were of some value, there wasn't anything else that caught Gu Qing Shan's attention.
This time, Gu Qing Shan was a lot more serious.
The large-scale data storage system was still very old, so even if it was operating at full capacity, the speed at which it could display data was still very limited.
And the entire data storage system contained all of this world's knowledge and information, so it wasn't an easy task to display all of it at once.
Gu Qing Shan did her best to search for information and spent several days.
However, this information still did not provide him with any valuable information.
Gu Qing Shan did not give up. She pulled out the addresses of all the research institutions on the map and left the secret library.
He began to wander around this destroyed world, searching for all kinds of useful mechanical equipment and spare parts in the ruins.
Another five days passed.
That night, just as Gu Qing Shan was standing in a collapsed research institute, carefully checking the mechanical equipment she had harvested, something suddenly happened.
Gu Qing Shan sensed something and abruptly looked up at the sky.
Countless shooting stars streaked across the sky, bringing with them a resplendent radiance as they fell to the ground.
If it was one or two meteors, it might be a coincidence, but the sky was filled with a continuous meteor shower that lasted for a long time.
This didn't seem like a coincidence.
Gu Qing Shan pulled up the hood of the Silent Cloak and covered her head. Her whole body was hidden in the cloak, hiding in the shadows of the ruins.
After a while, when the entire meteor shower had ended, the world returned to silence.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Gu Qing Shan held her breath, released her inner sight, and carefully scanned the area where the meteors fell.
A few spherical devices fell to the ground and emitted a pale green gas in all directions.
The ocean, the ground, the deserts, the forests, the former human settlements, so on and so forth, these spherical objects appeared everywhere.
What the hell is this?
Gu Qing Shan continued to observe.
A few dozen breaths later, something strange silently began to appear.
Within the ruins of a city, the rotting corpses stood up.
They staggered as they slowly moved, apparently regaining the ability to move.
Gu Qing Shan was very familiar with this.
The Undead?
Why are they the Undead again?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
His Inventory Bag suddenly opened as the Gold Coin jumped out.
"Why did you come out?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Gold Coin appeared to be in a hurry as it explained for a long time.
Following its explanation, Gu Qing Shan slowly understood.
So the Earth World's Laws had been restored.
The Gold Coin was created from the Earth World's World Origin, from a certain point of view, it was this world's' artifact spirit '.
Before, it was taken away from this Space-Time by the Earth Creator to travel to the Age of Old.
Under such circumstances, the Earth World was like a soulless human, unable to actively defend against any attacks.
But now, the Gold Coin had returned.
As long as it remained in this Space-Time, the Earth World's Laws would be protected.
In other words — —
This world had once again become a 'magic sealing' world, no mystical power would be able to work here.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but fall into thought.
With the Earth Creator's strength, normally no one would dare to act rashly.
The Earth Creator had always been cautious and never gave its enemies any chance to take advantage of it. It was only during this temporary trip to the Age of Old that an unexpected situation occurred.
This was something that couldn't be helped.
Gu Qing Shan carefully recalled the entire timeline of events.
The Earth Creator created a secret database room, led me to resolve the problem of the undead, then personally went to the Age of Old to stop the Abyssal monsters' scheme to steal the Heaven sword.
Even if this was only a simple operation, the Earth Creator still carried the Gold Coin with him and carefully hid behind the scenes, subtly influencing everything around him.
From start to finish, it didn't even act personally.
All of this clearly showed just how cautious the Earth Creator was.
All of its countermeasures were cautious and perfect, allowing it to obtain victory in the end.
However, after successfully stopping its enemies in the Age of Old, the Earth Creator relaxed a bit.
— — it didn't bring the Gold Coin with it and returned with Gu Qing Shan.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
The Earth Creator wasn't in its own 'magic sealing' world.
The Earth Creator didn't bring the Lucky Coin with it.
It went alone to search for a secret of the Age of Old.
— — -this was the only flaw that the Earth Creator revealed during this entire gamble.
Who could've known that just a brief moment of separation from the Gold Coin would cause it to fall into an unknown state of life and death?
Gu Qing Shan sighed as the shadow in his heart grew heavier.
He realized something horrifying.
An entity as powerful as the Earth Creator only needed to reveal a single flaw before disappearing.
It was almost impossible for something like this to happen to it to be a coincidence.
Then — — -
Who was it that was spying on the Earth Creator from the shadows?
The Earth Creator was able to influence the entire battle without the three Abyssal Devils noticing.
Who was it that saw through the Earth Creator's carelessness and made it disappear from the face of the earth without the Earth Creator noticing?
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
This isn't something I can think about right now. Thinking about it will only make me feel more despair.
The first thing I need to face right now is the meteor shower that just happened.
Gu Qing Shan opened his palm and began to check his own situation.
Zi zi zi — —
Following the sound, a blue arc of lightning appeared on his palm, illuminating the darkness around him.
"That can't be right, I can still use my powers"
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
The Gold Coin once again let out a series of 'ding ding ding' noises.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan realized.
So it turns out that I've formed a covenant with the Gold Coin, which means I've become a partner of the Earth World, which allowed me to use my powers.
And now, I'm the only entity in the entire world who can use my powers.
— — of course, there's no one else in the Earth World right now.
Seeing that Gu Qing Shan understood, the Gold Coin hurriedly let out another series of 'ding ding' noises.
As Gu Qing Shan slowly listened, his expression turned serious.
This matter was so serious that he couldn't help but ask again:
"You're saying that they came to pollute and destroy the Earth World … once they succeed, the balance maintained by the four Saint Pillars will be broken, and the Apocalypse of the Abyss will spread to the 900 million World Layers …"
