That bout of chaos ended in such a fashion.
Ye Fei Li jumped towards the sky, returning to [The Empress].
Only after his return did he take off his mask as Zhang Ying Hao greeted him: “Well done”
“It’s been a long time since I got my hands dirty, got quite a few [Chaos] out there”
Ye Fei Li grinned with an honest smile.
——-he didn’t seem like the soul flaying clown just now at all.
Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight swept through the entire city.
Over half of the carriers of [Chaos] had lost their lives.
But there were some carriers of [Chaos] who didn’t act against normal people and got away with their lives.
This meant that these people all had their own standard, so a scene of mass slaughter like earlier shouldn’t occur again.
“What kind of [Chaos] did you obtain?”
Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
Ye Fei Li stared at the void of space in front of him and replied: “They’re still fusing together—- wait, it’s done”
“Soul Flaying Clown, tch, what a lazy name”
Ye Fei Li complained.
But the glitter of excitement in his eyes had already exposed his inner thoughts.
Ignoring everyone else, Ye Fei Li began experimenting with his personal UI.
Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao exchanged glances and saw the looks of helplessness in each other’s eyes.
This guy.
He’s definitely thinking of [Chaos] as a kind of virtual game.
Gu Qing Shan was about to inform Ye Fei Li a few things in order to change his perception of [Chaos], but after a bit of thought——-
If Ye Fei Li is able to play around with this [Chaos] game to its peak…
1
Alright fine, let him.
Gu Qing Shan looked at and told everyone: “Alright, wait here for a while, I’ll go find that thing”
He used [Ground Shrink] and vanished from the deck of the ship.
It hadn’t been very long since [Chaos] had started its corruption, but the entire city was already in ruins.
Gu Qing Shan walked up to Sunset bridge and carefully looked around.
This place was originally supposed to be a peaceful land with a beautiful sky and water, at sunset, one would even be able to witness the golden twilight and the red setting sun.
But now, the world was already in ruins.
For the past countless years, none of the Combatants or big organizations of this world had paid any attention to this bridge.
As powerful as they were, they would either fly or teleport whenever they needed to go somewhere.
Sunset bridge was too ordinary, it was designed for weaker normal people’s usage, thus it couldn’t rouse the interest of the people on top.
That’s why no one had ever noticed that there weren’t too many rocks and pebbles within the murky water below the bridge.
The bigger boulder-like rocks were so few that they could be counted on one hand.
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
A sword flew out from behind him and pointed at the water.
The Chao Yin sword.
The water began to part on both sides with the mud and surging tides.
The scene at the bottom of the river was revealed to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight circled around a certain boulder at the bottom of the river without moving away.
He could feel power from it.
This power was very well hidden, if he wasn’t the new Earth Pillar God, he wouldn’t even have noticed it at all.
At this time, the Earth Creator’s long sigh resounded:
「 The Apocalypse is spreading, the Abyss had invaded the 900 million World Layers, more and more unexpected occurrences are silently happening one after another 」
「 This was as far as my vision allowed me to see regarding your journey, from this point forward, the future turned into a blurry, obscured fog 」
「 I originally planned to leave you a few more means within the star chart——– this has always been the method I am most proficient with, but regretfully…」
「 The confrontation between [Order] and [Chaos] made it so that the future now has become full of uncertainties, this would be as far as I am able to help you 」
「 Go, take that object 」
In Gu Qing Shan’s mind, the star chart suddenly vanished.
It turns out that even the Earth Creator could only accomplish so much.
In the future where [Order] and [Chaos] would confront each other, it had no way to foresee what would arrive next.
It could only leave a certain item that it found useful to Gu Qing Shan.
——what could that be?
Gu Qing Shan flew down.
Wielding the Chao Yin sword, he lightly cut the boulder apart.
The boulder broke and revealed something to Gu Qing Shan.
It was a small fragment about the size of a finger that glowed in 7 colors.
The Earth Creator’s voice sounded again:
「 Gu Qing Shan, you must have seen the Soul Shrieker’s spear. This was a small fragment broken from that spear 」
「 While you have this fragment, you will be able to sense where the spear is 」
「 Take it, it will lead you towards the location of the spear—– I do not know why, but I can sense that this spear might be a crucial turning point in fighting against the Soul Shrieker 」
「 In truth, I did not discover this at the beginning, I had only left this fragment here in order to send you to that spear’s location」
「 All hope shall begin there 」
「 Time… is of the essence 」
The Earth Creator’s voice slowly faded.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the glowing 7-colored fragment.
He then picked it up.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve obtained a broken fragment of one of the seven Grand Weapons of the Abyss, Abaddon]
[During a certain battle of an unimaginable scale, Abaddon was struck and broke off with this small fragment]
[So long as you hold it in your hand, you would be able to sense the location of the spear]
[Return this fragment to Abaddon, its impression of you will change]
1
Staring at the 7-colored fragment, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
To save the Samsara, I threw this spear out from the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
Who would’ve thought, I’d have to be the one who goes looking for it again?
Gu Qing Shan held the fragment and silently connected to it.
A few moments later.
A faint signal could be felt from a location far unknown.
Images began to scroll through in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.
He noticed that he was moving forward.
Hundreds, thousands of worlds were approaching him, then quickly moved to either side.
The space vortex was also left behind him.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the border of the Eternal Abyss.
And he continued moving forward.
Through the destructive winds of chaotic tribulation.
He was flying tirelessly towards a direction that no living being would ever be able to approach.
In this state of destruction of all things, time and space could no longer be used to measure anything.
It felt like over ten thousand years had passed, but also felt like it had only been a blink of an eye.
At that direction, there seems to be something—
Wait——
As Gu Qing Shan wanted to see what was there, he noticed that he had suddenly been pulled back.
He found himself still standing at the same place.
“…That’s too far away, and I have no way to get there at this point in time” Gu Qing Shan sighed helplessly.
He shook his head, his body flashed as he used [Ground Shrink] to return to the ship.
Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were sitting together, both staring blankly at the void of space in front of themselves discussing the power of [Chaos].
Boss was originally playing one of Ye Fei Li’s games, but couldn’t pass a certain stage so he was looking up a guide.
Laura’s voice quickly asked him: “Gu Qing Shan, where do we go now?”
“Wait a minute, I need some time to think”
Gu Qing Shan was feeling a bit of a headache.
His original plan was to check the Earth Creator’s preparations, then go and meet up with Su Xue Er and Ning Yue Chan.
He was only missing the Envoy of Condemnation coin among the three coins.
He could easily summon the Bramble Great Tree at any time.
The [Demon King Order] was right here.
And he was still missing Little Dusk.
Once he met up with Su Xue Er and Ning Yue Chan, he would have all three coins and the ability to go back in time.
He would then save Lady Darksea!
Which in turn would save the Lord-class Combatants.
Unfortunately.
Now that the Era of [Chaos] has descended, the Soul Shrieker is still chasing after me.
At some point, it might suddenly become stronger and throw another terrifying monster across countless worlds at me.
How could I approach the Holy Church of Fate like this?
If I went there, wouldn’t I be leading that monster to that place as well?
Damn it!
The difference in our strength is just too great.
With my current strength, there’s just no way for me to fight against the Soul Shrieker.
But the 7-colored spear is too far away for me to obtain.
Never mind how I could cross the winds of chaotic tribulation, the Eternal Abyss itself is an enormous natural barrier that I would never be able to cross.
The Abyss doesn’t treat lifeforms from the 900 million World Layers too amiably, a clear example of this was how Lin’s comrades were all killed.
Not to mention, the Apocalypse of a parallel world is still rampaging in that place.
As well as the terrifying Fate Corrosion!
If this was any other occasion, I would have ample time to think and come up with plans to head there.
But with the Soul Shrieker on my pursuit, I don’t have time to dawdle around.
Gu Qing Shan was facing a tough obstacle.
He took a deep breath to force himself to calm down.
Do I not have any solutions at all?
As Gu Qing Shan silently contemplated this, he suddenly recalled something.
If I had to fight against the Soul Shrieker, there was actually a certain [Order] from long ago that managed to stop its advance with only two primary-level soldiers.
“War God UI, do you still remember Water God?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Ting]!
With a clear chime, the War God UI replied: [I do, I once activated a large-scale war system in a fragment of the parallel world during the Age of Old, evolving her into Human Regiment, she was called Water God]
Gu Qing Shan nodded: “That was a large-scale human war system from the Bygone Era, only activated during the Age of Old and evolved into an [Order]——- unfortunately, when I returned to the future, the Earth Creator had kept it in the Age of Old”
While the Water God of this reality had most likely been destroyed by the Soul Shrieker during that war without his help.
[Do you want to awaken Water God again?] the War God UI asked.
“Yes, her powers left quite a deep impression, I’m sure she would be able to benefit me greatly” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The War God UI answered: [In order to travel back in time to the final moment of your previous life, the Soul Points that I’ve accumulated for countless years have been used up during the Age of Old, there is not enough to activate Water God again]
Gu Qing Shan was shocked, then hurriedly said: “I can collect more Soul Points”
The War God UI replied: [There is no time. If you want to awaken other Orders, the only method right now would be to use the Demon King Order]
[It originally had this function]
That bout of chaos ended in such a fashion.
Ye Fei Li jumped towards the sky, returning to [The Empress].
Only after his return did he take off his mask as Zhang Ying Hao greeted him: “Well done”
“It’s been a long time since I got my hands dirty, got quite a few [Chaos] out there”
