“Gu Qing Shan, what happened to Zhang Ying Hao?” Laura used telepathy to silently ask Gu Qing Shan.
“He has become a carrier of [Chaos]—— wait, you haven’t carried [Chaos] have you?” Gu Qing Shan asked her in return.
“I haven’t, but I’m constantly receiving new reports of the 900 million World Layers falling into [Chaos], deaths and murders are occurring everywhere” Laura replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
As the Bramble Bird Empress, her network of intelligence is definitely top-notch.
Which means what she said is most likely true.
The Era of [Chaos]——-
Once [Chaos] becomes the standard of conduct, every world will undergo unimaginably great change.
Just like what happened when I was killing the carrier of [Chaos] at that time.
Relations become unprecedentedly weak.
Because there are no longer any rules to limit anyone from doing anything.
This is [Chaos].
However, when it came to intelligence, I also have a way to obtain intelligence, don’t I?
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan wanted to stand up but suddenly felt the powerlessness and numbness all over his body.
—–this was the sensation of being completely drained.
He took out the stamina replenishment canned drink and drank it all.
After his body felt less uncomfortable, he took out the spirit energy and Soul Points replenishment canned drinks and drank them both as well.
However, there was a bit of an issue when he drank the Soul Points drink.
Because the flavors were completely random, the stamina drink was lemon-flavored and the spirit energy drink was milk-flavored——– neither of them were too bad, but the Soul Points drink was ghost pepper-flavored.
The taste didn’t seem to only affect the body, as he was still able to feel it even while using his spirit energy to cut off his sense of taste.
Gu Qing Shan scowled and tried to take small sips at first, but then decided to simply drink it all at once.
Finally, he felt comfortable again.
Ye Fei Li’s ability was truly excellent—– although it was a bit harder to control.
Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a whole gourd of spirit water, and gulped it down in order to ease the burning sensation on his tongue.
He then made his way below deck, choosing a room before closing the door.
Tapping his Inventory Bag, he took out the colorful rooster.
This was the War God UI’s new function [War God Intelligence] that was affixed to this colorful rooster.
Gu Qing Shan pulled on the rooster’s comb.
The colorful rooster looked at Gu Qing Shan and greeted him: “Yo, your eyes still can’t see yet, little man?”
“Yeah, I can’t help it at the moment” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Today is the first day of the Era of [Chaos], all sorts of information are flowing everywhere, so what do you want to know about?” the rooster asked.
“You can provide information related to me, right? I want exactly that” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The colorful rooster replied: “At this crucial point of [Chaos]’s descent, intelligence is very useful, so I’ll give you a little tip, consider carefully what kind of intelligence you will need”
“Thank you, how much Soul Points do you want?” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Little man, did you really need to ask?”
Saying so, the rooster formed the shape of a heart with its wings.
Gu Qing Shan tacitly understood.
The rooster showing a heart meant that I could pay however much I want.
I spent all of my Soul Points to finish my iris World Technique, with only 2 Soul Points remaining, fortunately, I ran into the master of the Southern Cross Nebula world on the way and obtained 50,000 Soul Points.
Then I killed the Divinities.
However, during the life and death situation just now, I used up all of my Soul Points again to activate [Earth’s Choice].
In return, I earned 3,000,000 Soul Points from killing that chaotic creature.
I can afford this much!
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out to touch the rooster and generously transferred 10,000 Soul Points over.
The colorful rooster clucked excitedly and refreshed, loudly declaring: “Aaaaaaa, so much Soul Points! How refreshing! Ask me what you need to know, I’ll tell you without holding back!”
Gu Qing Shan said: “I want to know, what did the entity who granted me the star chart arrange in Riddle world”
The colorful rooster replied: “This matter is related to too many things too deeply. I can’t reveal the entire thing to you, only secretly speak a bit of scarp information”
“Is it that troublesome?”
“It is, so listen carefully, I’ll only say it once”
“Go ahead”
“The powerful weapon discarded for the sake of salvation, it had been taken to a place where no one could reach and stashed away by a mysterious figure who picked it up, it is the beginning of the infinite worlds’ salvation”
After saying so, the rooster turned back into a statue and went silent.
Gu Qing Shan silently contemplated the rooster’s words.
Powerful weapon discarded for the sake of salvation…
Have I ever thrown any weapon again?
No, as long as it’s my weapon, I’ve never done such a thing.
Gu Qing Shan slowly recalled.
All of a sudden, he remembered something.
The Soul Carving Knife.
This was a special tool used to create Soul Artifacts.
When I returned to this timeline, it was held in the Age of Old by the Earth Creator.
Would this be referring to the Soul Carving Knife?
There was also——-
During the battle at Huang Quan.
I once used the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to control and turn the Grand Tie Wei Mountain into a giant and threw the seven-colored spear out into the winds of chaotic tribulation.
Yes.
‘A weapon discarded for the sake of salvation’ should be referring to either the Soul Carving Knife or the 7-colored spear.
In other words, Riddle world is hiding the clue leading to one of these two items.
And this item would be of great use in the future.
The Soul Carving Knife can create a lot of Soul Artifacts.
The 7-colored spear… I’m not sure if it can be used…
Gu Qing Shan sat there and carefully contemplated.
…
At another location.
The Wilderness of Death.
The war between the Holy Church of Death and the Holy Church of Mystery had reached a desperate stage.
Due to being ambushed by the Holy Church of Mystery, the Holy Church of Death could not mount a reasonable defense in time and suffered heavy losses.
Black Crow had no choice but to participate in the battle.
Black Hound stayed still inside the Death Sanctuary.
It was keeping watch in front of the bronze gate, not even moving a single inch.
「 Anna… do not worry, I shall keep this place safe 」
Black Hound muttered in a low voice.
…
On the other side of the bronze gate.
As Anna and Lin stepped onto the floating stone slab, it began to move on its own.
It maintained a stable and slow flight, gradually moving into the deep darkness below.
Silence, all around.
Deep and thick darkness.
Anna was clearly able to hear her own rhythmic breathing and heartbeat, but couldn’t hear the woman who claimed to be Gu Qing Shan’s elder sister’s breathing at all.
This continued.
A long while after.
The stone slab was still flying forward.
Other than where they were standing, it was still a pitch-black abyss of darkness below their feet, no shore in front, no retreat behind.
Absolute silence.
After enduring this for so long, Anna finally couldn’t bear it any longer: “Where are you?”
“I’m still here” Lin’s voice could be heard.
“I’m sorry, it had been so silent, and I couldn’t hear your breathing at all”
Anna felt a bit embarrassed, but she was a straightforward person who did things as she pleased.
After a moment of silence, Lin replied: “I’m a martial artist, my breath is much longer than yours, not to mention I’m already used to breathing through the pores all over my body”
Anna casually continued the conversation: “So that’s what it was. Right, are you really Gu Qing Shan’s elder sister? I’ve never heard that he had an elder sister before”
“Hm, you can consider me his elder sister” Lin replied.
“Consider?” Anna repeated.
She realized that something was a bit off.
“Indeed, we went through a few things together, then made the same preparations for certain goals, so we mutually recognize each other as elder sister and younger brother” Lin casually told her.
This matter has to be glossed over this way; I definitely can’t admit myself to be his biological sister.
Because if I did that…
I wouldn’t be able to cover up this lie.
Lin consoled herself in this manner.
Anna was fascinated by this topic so she stopped feeling fearful towards the silence and darkness.
“Why did he take you as the elder sister? Why not elder brother and young sister, but rather elder sister and younger brother?” Anna asked.
“Why not elder brother and younger sister…?”
Lin repeated that once before answering: “Because his meager level of strength is only suitable to be the younger brother, not elder”
Knowing how strong Gu Qing Shan was in battle Anna sighed: “So you are powerful to that degree, have you ever fought one another? And did you manage to hurt him?”
Lin fell silent.
Did I manage to hurt him?
How am I supposed to continue with this topic?
“Look——- I think I saw something fly across us just now” Lin said.
“Huh? Really?” sure enough, Anna’s attention was drawn away.
She released a small mass of flames from her fingertip.
The light of the flame illuminated Anna’s beautiful visage, cancelling out the deep darkness and stifled silence, revealing their surroundings in front of the two girls.
Both of them froze.
Lin didn’t think she would see such a scene either.
“Strange, is there something here capable of obscuring my senses? How come I never felt anything earlier?”
Lin couldn’t help but mutter.
Around them, the two walls were spaced really far apart from one another, but both of these stretched endlessly towards the sky, so far that they couldn’t see the top within their vision.
They couldn’t see what was at the bottom of the wall either, as the area below the wall also stretched endlessly into the darkness.
The entire wall itself was made from corpses.
Countless corpses of countless forms.
Some of the corpses could be recognized as creatures and living beings that currently existed within the 900 million World Layers.
But some of them had never been seen before, they had clearly surpassed the limit of being normal lifeforms, all of which exuded a sense of vicissitudes.
Anna opened her mouth to discuss this with Lin, but Lin had already covered her mouth.
What?
Anna glanced doubtfully at Lin.
Lin gestured with her chin towards a certain direction.
Anna turned to look.
On the wall of corpses, a pair of giant arms had reached out to search for something around this place.
Under the illumination of the flame, it seemed a bit agitated and angry.
A pair of arms couldn’t be sentient.
Clearly, something was hiding inside the wall of corpses.
And it was alive.
Lin reached her hand forward and extinguished the mass of flame that Anna sent out.
Their surroundings returned to darkness.
For a long while, both of the girls remained silent.
Finally, Lin spoke up with a solemn and low voice: “No wonder you needed a guard, but…”
“But what?” Anna also asked in a low voice.
“Why do I find this scene a bit familiar?”
Lin doubtfully commented.
