"One, two, three, stomp your feet"
"Four, five, six, wave your hands"
"Seven, eight, nine, shake your cheeks, shake your shoulders — —"
Gu Qing Shan counted to the beat, followed the rhythm, and meticulously danced.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI one after another:
[The power of the Magic Dragon is currently being suppressed]
[You've received the favor of the Occultism Mystical power, your body's strength has slightly increased]
[Your dance has received the praise of a mystical entity, you've developed a slight affinity with Mystic-type abilities]
[Your body's coordination has improved]
Gu Qing Shan was sweating profusely as he danced.
It couldn't be helped, even if he was a Three Thousand Worlds realm expert, performing this dance would still be extremely tiring.
Both his body and soul would experience an arduous process in front of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance.
A few dozen minutes later.
He finally finished this dance.
Shannu handed him a cup of spring water and asked: "Gongzi, what do we do now?"
Gu Qing Shan breathed heavily and drank all the water in one gulp.
"It's my fault this time, I forgot the date of the dance, that's why this happened"
He helplessly said.
"Since she's already dead, how about we just leave?" Shannu suggested.
"No, according to what she said, she's already been betrayed once, so it's very rare for her to trust me this time" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Shannu was troubled: "But her body has already been washed away by the stream, gongzi, even if we spend a lot of time to put her back together, there's no telling when she'll be able to revive"
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and replied: "If we leave right now, she might not trust anyone again; not to mention, if one day she revives and rushes to the 900 million World Layers to cause trouble for me, that would be troublesome"
"That's why …"
"That's why we really need to bring her back and make things clear. Trust me, for a martial artist like her, she may seem like she doesn't care about many things, but she's actually a very stubborn person."
Shannu sighed and replied: "Then we'll have to slowly search for her body, wait for her to revive, try to convince her that gongzi didn't kill her on purpose, and finally convince her not to force gongzi to go to the Reality Gate, because gongzi has his own matters to attend to"
"It sounds a little complicated and difficult," Gu Qing Shan said thoughtfully.
"Very difficult, she's an Abyssal monster, gongzi" Shannu reminded him.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a while, then simply closed her eyes and carefully sensed.
The manifestation of the Earth Saint Pillar's laws was currently hidden within his body, ready to listen to his summons at any time.
Right now, Gu Qing Shan needed a bit of help to complete this extremely difficult task.
Following his thoughts, a beam of gold and silver intersecting light was produced from within his body and leaped into his palm, forming a pattern of light and shadow.
At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Master of the Earth Saint Pillar, please select the power you wish to activate]
[Powers to choose from: True Luck, Absolute Prohibition, Protection]
Gu Qing Shan skimmed through them and silently muttered in his mind: "Activate True Luck"
New lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You've chosen True Luck]
[This ability has been activated, lasts for 12 hours]
[After this ability ends, you must wait 30 days before you can use the power of the Earth Saint Pillar again]
All the glowing text disappeared.
Everything returned to normal.
Looking at the Coin of the Earth's projection, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
This was the miraculous feeling of returning to the Earth World and being blessed by the Earth Creator.
"Let's go" he said.
"Gongzi, where are we going?"
"To retrieve her body"
"… That's a huge undertaking"
"Unfortunately, there's only the two of us right now. Alright, let's not think about it, we'll just slowly retrieve it"
Gu Qing Shan consoled Shannu, then suddenly went silent.
He and Shannu both turned towards a certain direction.
Something seemed to be moving at the bank of the stream.
Following that, that thing also seemed to have noticed them.
「 Hey! So you were also here! 」 the other party loudly called out.
— — -so it was the wooden doll.
Gu Qing Shan walked over, crouched down in front of the wooden doll, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
The wooden doll took off its hat to greet him and explained: 「 There's a very rare water flower gem in this stream, so I came here to try my luck and see if I can find it 」
"Water flower gem?" Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
「 That's right, it's a kind of milky white rock with natural water patterns on it, like a blooming flower on top of the rock, so it's called the Water flower gem 」 the wooden doll explained.
It then sighed: 「 I'm only missing this gem to be able to participate in the gem exhibition. Unfortunately, this Water flower gem is one of the rarest gems to find on the Gemini star. It specializes in hiding itself underwater and only appears once every 1000 years 」
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt something pressing down on his foot.
He picked up a rock from the water, glanced at it, then put it in front of the wooden doll.
"The Water flower gem you were talking about, isn't it very similar to this rock?" he asked.
「 Ah, that's right, it's this type of rock 」
The wooden doll glanced at it briefly and nodded.
Wait a minute — — -
The wooden doll opened its eyes wide and excitedly exclaimed: 「 Oh my god! That's the Water flower gem! 」
It hopped around the gem, but couldn't bring itself to touch it.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Take it, I don't have any use for it anyways"
He pushed the rock towards the wooden doll.
The wooden doll was so excited that its face flushed red and asked: 「 Can I really take it? 」
"Take it" Gu Qing Shan smiled and told it.
The wooden doll hesitated for a bit, then seemed to have made a decision and said: 「 I can't take such a precious thing for free, I have to repay you 」
It swung its short staff a few times.
「 I heard what you just said 」 the wooden doll raised its thumb, 「 You're a good person, I'll help you find that woman's body 」
While it was talking, something was moving backwards from the lower reaches of the stream.
Gu Qing Shan looked carefully, only to see that it was a corpse that had been cut into several dozen pieces.
— — the tall slender woman's body!
The wooden doll swung its short staff again.
The several dozen pieces of the corpse were suddenly pushed to the shore by the rising water.
「 There's a pixie living in this stream, she's my good friend, so I asked her for a favor 」 the wooden doll said as if trying to show off.
「 But neither she nor I are very good at assembling corpses, so you'll have to rely on yourselves from now on 」
"That's more than enough, thank you very much" Gu Qing Shan sincerely said.
Seeing him like that, the wooden doll nodded: 「 I'll be going first, you know how to find me, I need to quickly go back and count my stones 」
「 See you later 」
「 Hm, see you later 」
The wooden doll swung its short staff and disappeared from the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan and Shannu exchanged glances.
"That's a good start, all we need to do now is assemble the corpse" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Alright, let's go assemble her body" Shannu said.
The two of them went back to the shore and began to work.
…
"Shannu, is this how you assemble it?"
"I think so, hm — — the part is correct, but you need to put your chest up"
"Ah …"
"Gongzi, give me your right hand — — wait a minute, that's your right leg, you put it the wrong way up"
"I'm sorry, it's too hard to assemble"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
My [True Luck] can last for 12 hours, so why do I keep making mistakes when assembling corpses?
I'm a great cultivator, as well as a top-notch chef, assembling corpses is as easy as pie — — why does [Luck] keep stopping me?
At this point, Shannu cut in: "Hah, it's fine, gongzi, you're too clumsy, and this woman's body isn't very suitable for you to assemble, let me do it"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then understood.
He put the corpse down: "That's right, Shannu, keep your original appearance and prove that I wasn't the one who assembled her body"
Shannu also nodded: "Alright, that's right, otherwise, if she finds out that you're moving her body, she'll definitely get angry and fight again"
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly: "If we fight here, I can still hold on, but if she becomes enraged and acts like she did when she was searching for the Bygone Era humans, chasing me for several ten thousand years after leaving the Gemini star, I won't be able to take it"
