Chapter 1048: Twine of Cloud Atlas


On top of a mountain range.


There were no structures or people here, a completely desolate place.


“How can we break through Calming Soul Country’s protective barrier?” Gu Qing Shan asked.


“It can only be done either by destroying the Ring of Sovereign as well as the three Rings of Guardians, or the Deities themselves arrive to dispel it” Xuan Ya told him.


Gu Qing Shan nodded and said nothing else.


He stood on top of a slightly protruding rock and looked down at the ground below.


The trembling and collapse of the earth didn’t continue for too long.


Far beneath the earth, countless black tentacles had weaved to form a net that connected the entire world, neutralizing the destructive impact from before.


That old lady is truly powerful.


She even managed to fix and prevent the collapse of an entire world in such a short period of time.


Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.


After reading the fake God’s memories, he now had a deeper understanding of how immeasurable the God of Life’s power was.


Not only does that old lady have the knowledge and divine power of a Deity, but she also has the great vitality and physical prowess of a void monster, not to mention she was also exploring the power of Laws from the Card.


She could already delegate a portion of [Human Regiment]’s power for the four fake Gods to use.


—–it was supposed to be nearly impossible to achieve such a thing because Water God herself wasn’t present on the Card.


Which means that the old lady slowly studied and extracted the power of [Order] herself.


Without mentioning anything else, being able to achieve that much was already quite an impressive feat.


Gu Qing Shan deeply sighed.


Who can actually win against such an entity?


The Deities have all basically died off at this point in time.


Only a single Deity remained.


The Deity of Chaos, Soul Shrieker.


——–will it be able to do anything…?


Behind Gu Qing Shan, the group also felt a deep sense of helplessness.


Ye Fei Li lightly cleared his throat and said: “Then, it looks like we only have one last solution to kill this monster”


“What kind of solution?” Laura asked.


Ye Fei Li turned his gaze to Xuan Ya, then at the child in her embrace.


“Kill this child and make it so that the God of Life perishes from the recoil of the oath between Deities”


Xuan Ya cautiously looked at him and took a few steps back.


Ye Fei Li saw her reaction and sighed helplessly: “Hey, this is already the last resort——- and didn’t you already die once? After killing that monster, we’ll just have Gu Qing Shan revive your son, isn’t that simple?”


Xuan Ya froze.


That’s true.


As long as we can kill the God of Life, every other threat would naturally resolve itself.


Not to mention, I’ve personally experienced the miracle of being revived from death.


With Gu Qing Shan here, life and death doesn’t matter.


A short period of suffering in exchange for the true revival of the entire kingdom of Demis, that much would be no sacrifice at all.


Not to mention, all the Demis will be grateful to my child.


As their new king, his position would be immovable.


Xuan Ya hesitated.


But a voice spoke up from afar.


“Not possible”


Gu Qing Shan glanced at the slowly mending earth and said without turning around.


“Why not?” Ye Fei Li asked.


“…For the next long while, I don’t intend to use that revival ability again” Gu Qing Shan replied.


Seeing the look of confusion on everyone’s faces, he explained: “This is a limit imposed by a vow of Heaven and Earth. If I go against it, I’ll be under the pursuit of the Laws of Heaven and Earth until I’m struck dead”


Laura immediately asked: “Who imposed such a limiting oath on you?”


Gu Qing Shan replied: “Myself”


Ye Fei Li couldn’t help asking: “But why?”


“Because this ability places too much of a burden on my sword, she needs to rest for a while”


This time, no one questioned it further.


Gu Qing Shan was a sword cultivator, and they had all witnessed his sword spirits, so they understood that Gu Qing Shan had his own reasons for this.


——-perhaps the sword spirit couldn’t handle the burden?


Everyone tried to guess.


But since Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer specifically, no one tried asking further.


After all, no one other than the person themselves would best understand the extent of their own abilities, weapons, and secret.


If he doesn’t inform us then he must have his own reasons.


Gu Qing Shan continued: “Furthermore, I doubt that killing Xuan Ya’s child would actually cause the God of Life to lose her life”


“——The God of Life would definitely not sit still and watch as something threatens her life, I believe that she had already escaped from the limitation of this oath as she converted herself into a Card”


Boss asked: “You mean, she’s no longer restrained by the oath of Deities?”


“Perhaps she’s still affected somewhat, but not to the point of endangering her life” Gu Qing Shan replied.


“How did you come up with that?”


“——-this Deity’s fear of death had already seeped into her very essence, having been afraid of leaving Calming Soul Country for so many years, how could she allow her own life to be under constant threat by the death of another?”


“Makes sense” Boss nodded in agreement.


Everyone fell silent again.


Not even this solution would be usable, so what should we do now?


Gu Qing Shan took off the four rings and gave them to Xuan Ya.


“The monster is busy repairing the world, so it won’t place its attention on normal Demis for now”



“You should use the power of the ring and rally all the Demis”


Xuan Ya couldn’t help but ask: “You want to evacuate them?”


Gu Qing Shan nodded, then turned to Laura: “The monster can’t sense us, but Xuan Ya’s safety needs to be protected”


“We’ll need a few mirror worlds, secretly spread them to various towns with Xuan Ya, have all the Demis prepare to enter your mirror worlds, that’ll make it convenient for us to carry them away”


“No problem”


“Fei Li, Ying Hao, you two proceed with them as well” Gu Qing Shan continued.


“Got it” the two of them replied.


“Boss, give them your reverse summoning circles as well, that’ll make it convenient for recalling them when necessary”


“Very well”


All the preparations were complete.


Gu Qing Shan told Xuan Ya one last time: “We don’t have much time, so there’s no need to convince any of them—– simply display the final bloodline of the royal family and the power of the rings to them, that’ll be most efficient”


“I understand, but when should we let everyone enter the mirror worlds?”


“Not yet, wait for me to contact you” Gu Qing Shan replied.


“…Very well”


Xuan Ya, Laura, Zhang Ying Hao, and Ye Fei Li went on their way to rally the Demis.


The only people left on the desolate mountain were Gu Qing Shan and Boss.


“You have something to ask me?” Boss asked.


“Yes. You’re the Abyssal King, your knowledge far surpasses any of us. I want to know if you have any ways to get rid of that monster” Gu Qing Shan replied.


Boss shook his head: “It wasn’t possible when the Deities still existed, and it would also not be possible now”


“Boss, if the Soul Shrieker and the God of Life fought, who do you think will win?” Gu Qing Shan asked.


Boss answered right away: “I know very little about the God of Life, so I’m not sure who would win, but the battle will go on for a very long time——- just like how the Soul Shrieker fought against the Demon King’s corpse in the Fallen Zones of the 900 million World Layers”


Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.


The Soul Shrieker and the corpse that the [Demon King Order] summoned fought one another for a very long time until a victor was decided.


——-it was a decisive victory that cemented the Soul Shrieker’s position of being unbeatable within the 900 million World Layers.


Boss sighed, his expression turned heavy and solemn:


“If considering individual strength alone, the Soul Shrieker is vastly inferior to the God of Life”


“But it is the only True Deity of [Chaos], supported by the power of the entire Era of [Chaos], it should be able to resist for a very long time”


Boss continued: “I have a feeling that the God of Life might be just a bit stronger than the Soul Shrieker”


Gu Qing Shan agreed: “Your feeling is very important. After all, you used to be a Combatant that stood at the very peak, so it should be quite accurate”


——-and if that’s the case, there would truly be no one capable of winning against the God of Life.


She is simply that powerful.


Does she have any weaknesses?


Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the mountain, completely motionless for a very long time, almost like a statue.


Time quickly went by.


Xuan Ya and the rest had returned.


The mirror worlds had all been secretly distributed to the Demis.


The four rings returned to Gu Qing Shan’s hand.


At his order, the Demis would enter the mirror worlds to seek refuge.


Gu Qing Shan’s gaze swept through everyone.


“I’ll be frank, I don’t like to gamble”


He reluctantly displayed a bitter smile.


“But this matter had far surpassed my initial expectations. Facing two Deities at once, I don’t have any guarantees, only a conjecture”


“What sort of conjecture?” Laura asked.


Gu Qing Shan replied: “The God of Life converted itself into a monster, then into a Card, holding itself up inside this tiny, secluded world and refusing to leave——- I believe that she is wary of something”


“She has turned into a unique amalgamation of monster and Deity, while the Soul Shrieker had also become a Deity”


“We need to think of a way to force them to fight one another, and in reality, we’ve been working to push matters towards this direction”


“Of course, I’ve never witnessed a battle between Deities, so I don’t know what the outcome might be”


“That’s why, we can only resort to one last solution”


“——we’re going to gamble”


He put the four rings on the palm of his hand.


Everyone stared closely at it.


Gu Qing Shan drew the Earth sword.


Everyone held their breaths.


——–Gu Qing Shan was about to destroy the four rings and force Calming Soul Country to once again reveal itself within the space vortex.


The Soul Shrieker would directly clash against the God of Life.


What exactly the outcome of this meeting between Deities would be, no one could guarantee.


“Wait a minute!”


Laura stepped forward, put her hand on her hair, and pulled out something.


Her ponytail was undone to display her long straight hair that went past her shoulders, emphasizing Laura’s mature beauty that was unlike that of a child.


“I actually still have one other Occultism artifact”


“This was an Occultism artifact passed down through generations in the Bramble Bird royal family, the Twine of Cloud Atlas”


Laura tied the purple string that she had always used to tie her hair onto Gu Qing Shan’s wrist, telling him in a low voice:


“Its ability is to provide a unique kind of luck”


“Gu Qing Shan, you can no longer see with your eyes, using only inner sight to observe your surroundings, but I still need to inform you”


“Keep in mind, the only thing you absolutely cannot do while wearing this artifact is to turn your head behind”


“Once you turn your head, that good luck will turn into bad luck instead”


Gu Qing Shan seriously listened to her, then was startled.


Good luck… bad luck…


——-right, how could I have forgotten.


I’m the Earth God.


I have the truest kind of luck!
