Gu Qing Shan glanced down at the mystical rune in his hand.
He felt a sense of understanding, as if he naturally knew what to do.
Following his thought, the rune, which was emitting a halo of light, completely collapsed, turning into specks of starry light that submerged into his sea of consciousness.
At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You've absorbed the Mystery rune]
[You've chosen to upgrade the Mystery of All Beings Equal]
[This ability is currently undergoing a change, please do not attempt to use this ability within the next 3 hours, otherwise, the ability's change will be affected]
[After 3 hours, your ability to use this Mystery will greatly increase]
[By the way, I wish you the best of luck in performing from now on]
Reading that last line, Gu Qing Shan raised his eyebrows.
"Where did you go?"
Lin asked with interest.
Gu Qing Shan regained his senses and replied: "I went to see an old friend. Every time I face a Tribulation, he would sense me and bring me to his place for a chat"
Lin looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
Gu Qing Shan told her about the Measure Tribulation, then explained: "He's currently imprisoned in a miniature world, unable to move, only I can occasionally go and see him"
Lin thought for a bit and said: "Take me to see him next time"
Seeing Gu Qing Shan's doubtful expression, she said: "The person you know might be a prisoner"
"Prisoner?"
"Indeed, ever since the beginning of human civilization, humans have discovered that there are a lot of things that exist in an incomprehensible space. You don't know what they're used for, nor do you know why the living beings within them are imprisoned"
"You mean — –"
"Don't ask, I don't know any more than that"
Lin showed a rare look of exhaustion and said: "Sometimes, I really wish that humans could live in a lonely universe, where there are no strange things around, and no one has any supernatural abilities. That kind of life would be much more stable, unlike our current situation, where we are always surrounded by billions of worlds filled with endless secrets. Everything we do is easy to get into trouble, and we have to be careful at all times"
It was rare for Lin to reveal her thoughts. Gu Qing Shan thought about what she described.
At this point, he felt that Lin was quite interesting.
She seemed to be a person who had gone through many hardships.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said, "In that case, people will have no choice but to face birth, old age, sickness and death without being able to do anything about it. Do you want that to happen?"
"If there is reincarnation, I'm willing" Lin muttered.
"The Samsara is a unique weapon" Shannu chimed in.
"That's right, but it doesn't affect our lives. Souls naturally circulate through reincarnation, isn't that great?" Lin said.
The smile on Gu Qing Shan's face froze.
"That's right. Souls can go back and forth in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Reincarnation is a weapon after all …" he murmured.
He recalled the time when he brought Bali and Meow back to his homeworld. Since the Soul Shrieker's subordinates could revive after death, they weren't afraid of Bali and Meow at all.
But what had he done at that time?
I used the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and the Forgetting River Soul Flaying Hook to keep them in my homeworld!
Their souls were sent into the realm of Huang Quan, where they were completely destroyed by the Devil King Warden Rod.
At the very last moment in the realm of Huang Quan, when the Soul Shrieker almost appeared, I had to use the Devil King Warden Rod to stop it.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly shivered.
So this is the true value of the Samsara?
Which means, any enemy within the Samsara would be the same as those people, unable to gain the Eternal and Undying characteristic?
But I need to confirm this further …
"What's the matter?" Lin asked.
"It's nothing"
Gu Qing Shan regained her senses and silently kept this in mind.
The most important thing right now is to become stronger. This is the foundation of everything.
Gu Qing Shan began to think about what to do next.
First of all, the Envoy of Condemnation's promotion needs to be considered at length, it's not something that can be done right now.
After promotion, I still need to use Cards to create worlds.
— — -this requires me to collect items that contain the Laws of the Inner Plane, but I can do it at the same time as I rank up my Cards.
Then, how should I rank up my Cards?
Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about what Little Dusk told her before.
"There are three ways to become stronger. The first is to advance naturally like you did. The second is to devour other cards. The third is to search for the inheritance left behind by the ancient gods and use it to increase the level of your cards."
— — -what inheritance of the Old Gods? That's not the case at all.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
Little Dusk was brainwashed into believing that the Old Gods created everything.
In truth, those things were probably precious materials left behind by the Bygone Era humans.
After all, those materials can be used to create powerful Soul Artifacts, even the promotion of the [Order] requires them.
Naturally evolving is definitely impossible, and it's even harder to find materials left behind by the Bygone Era humans, so it's best if I can find some Cards to consume.
After thinking through everything, Gu Qing Shan casually grabbed the Chao Yin sword and swung it at the sky.
A blinding sword phantom rose all the way to the sky.
In front of the sword phantom, the night sky looked like two curtains that slowly parted.
Images of many worlds appeared in the sky, appearing one after another, alternating with each other until they reached the farthest point.
In front of the three thousand worlds.
"After going through so much, we need to find a place to rest" Gu Qing Shan turned around to look at Lin, "Pick one, which world should we go to?"
Lin was stunned.
Rest …
This word is too unfamiliar to her.
"Why should I pick one?" Lin asked.
"Because you're still injured, we need to pick a place that you're satisfied with" Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
Regardless of what the Earth Creator had set up in Riddle world, they couldn't go there right now, nor could they follow Riddle world to return to the Strife Zones according to the star chart.
The best solution right now is to find a world to rest, wait for Lin's injuries to recover, then slowly ask for more information about Riddle world.
Lin sniffled a bit and looked up at the sky.
A few moments later.
"Gu Qing Shan"
"Hm"
"Erm …"
"What is it?"
"Do you have any money on you? It's the kind of currency you use to buy things and eat at restaurants "
"Ah, that, wait a minute"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
He searched through his Inventory Bag and took out a small black bag.
That's good!
Back in Drifting Sand world, he killed a high-ranking member of the Holy Church of Death and obtained a large sum of money.
This sum of money was originally supposed to be split with the demon scorpion family, but after they split up, the money naturally remained.
This sum of money was quite considerable!
Gu Qing Shan took out a coin from the small black bag.
This was a dark blue coin with an octopus-like monster engraved on the front, while the number 109 was engraved on the back.
— — the # 109 coin — — the most valuable coin in the entire bag, it had a unique ability.
"A counterfeit coin of the Divine race, I've never really paid much attention to such shoddy things" Lin looked at the coin and commented.
"Of course it's not as powerful as the Bygone Era humanity's coins, but it's enough for daily use" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He silently muttered in his mind: "Iced drink"
Bam!
A small sound.
Under Gu Qing Shan's silent command, the octopus engraved on the front of the coin spat out a large wooden box.
Gu Qing Shan received the box, opened it in front of the two girls, and gestured: "Do you want a drink?"
In reality, this was a fridge that was filled to the brim with a wide variety of drinks.
Shannu turned back into her human form from sword spirit without hesitation and took a glass of iced fruit juice.
"Thank you, gongzi"
She took a sip and smiled.
Lin looked at it for a bit, then took a bottle of milk and started drinking.
Gu Qing Shan took out a bottle of strong liquor, opened it, and gulped it down in one gulp.
The three of them simply watched the constantly rotating images of the world in the sky and silently drank their drinks.
Hm …
It feels good to be able to rest for a bit.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes turned a bit, then looked at Lin and carefully asked: "Erm, did you take an Envoy of Condemnation called Little Dusk …"
"The current ruler of the Strife Zones is the Abyssal Magic Dragon, everything I hid there has already been taken by him" Lin casually replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Lin continued: "Don't think too much about it. Once the Ring of Vow returns to me, I'll definitely seek revenge from the Magic Dragon sooner or later. This time, I'll take that little girl back and return her to you"
"Thank you"
"As long as you remember to take me to the Reality Gate in the future"
"I won't forget"
"Hm, that's good" Lin readily agreed.
She looked up at the sky for a bit, then pointed at a certain world: "We're going there"
Gu Qing Shan looked up.
Only to see that Lin was pointing at a very lively world.
Although this world's level of civilization wasn't that high, Gu Qing Shan saw with her own eyes a group of Combatants eating supper at a stall on the street.
Their strength had probably reached the level of 'passable'.
There were countless civilizations within the 900 million World Layers, as well as countless strange and unusual lifeforms. Although each Profession was divided into many levels, just like cultivators, it was very difficult to distinguish between these countless existences with just a few levels.
Sometimes, the level of civilization didn't really matter, the most important thing was that there were Combatants watching over this world.
With Combatants, the civilization and the world would be protected, and the world would become lively and prosperous.
"Let's go" Gu Qing Shan said.
He released an airship and brought Lin and Shannu towards that world.
