The four of them didnt remain still for too long, they quickly chose a random direction and began their long trek.

The sky continued to remain dark.

Occasionally, some stars would glitter but quickly faded into the darkness again.

The wilderness was dark, cold, and timid.

Not a single bit of life force could be felt.

All the insects and animals had been killed within the Apocalypse.

-from the Myriad Deities of the Pantheon, the Law Behemoths, to a fish or an ant; [Siming] did not let a single entity go.

A sense of unease enveloped the entire group.

Everyone slowly realized just how terrifying this Apocalypse was.

If this goes on, nature itself will collapse, yet no one could change it at all.

This was total extinction.

An irreversible calamity.

Six hours later.

Gu Qing Shan, Shroud, Reneedol, and Scarlet found a location away from the wind and made a campfire.

-the continuous trek so far had left the young people exhausted.

If time was normal, it should currently be midnight, so they decided to take a rest for the night.

How far is it until the nearest human settlement? Shroud asked.

Around 3730 miles, the Law Behemoths spatial barrier is still operating normally, so you wouldnt be able to fly there Reneedol replied.

I wonder what the situation is like in that place and would there still be people willing to work for the Law Behemoths Shroud worriedly said.

Thats right, anything can happen in an Apocalypse, we need to ensure that we have enough strength to deal with any situations Scarlet added.

Rhode, do we still have food tonight? Shroud asked.

Theres no fish in the river, no wild animals on land, nor are there any wild berries around us I think before we reach a human settlement, we wouldnt be able to find anything to eat Gu Qing Shan replied.

He took out the rest of his alcohol, examined them, then gave each person a bottle.

This alcohol isnt too strong; it would be enough for us to replenish energy and strength. Rest up after drinking

They opened the bottles at the same time.

Scarlet held the bottle, then blankly muttered: This was alcohol that Epta left behind

The campfire illuminated everyones figures.

None of them said a word.

Epta is dead, Atley is dead, even the Grand Elder is dead.

Dont feel too sorrowful, theres no telling how much longer well be able to survive either Shroud said.

Are you feeling discouraged? Reneedol looked at him.

No the corner of Shrouds lip curled up a bit into a smile and replied: Perhaps our end will not be too different from Epta, so there is no need to be sorrowful. What we should be doing now is to live for Eptas portion as well and continue to survive, then see for sure whats at the end of our fates

Gu Qing Shan raised his bottle: If we can continue to live until the very end

Shroud also raised his bottle: Then well get rid of this Apocalypse

Clink!

The two bottles lightly knocked against one another.

They drank the entire thing in one gulp.

Reneedol glanced at them.

Scarlet couldnt contain herself and asked: From what you said, have the two of you found a way to deal with the Apocalypse?

Not at all

Gu Qing Shan and Shroud both replied.

Scarlet was speechless.

Its not to remain too tense, its correct to relax both our bodies and mind a bit at a time like this Reneedol nodded.

Scarlet also begins drinking from her bottle.

This alcohol was made from fermenting fruits, so it wasnt too strong; in fact, it was essentially fruit juice that can be used to replenish some energy.

Ten minutes later, everyone finished their drinks.

Lets rest Gu Qing Shan said.

Everyone rest, Ill keep watch Reneedol said.

Let me, you should rest as well Shroud offered.

No need, Im going to use a spatial technique to keep watch over a radius of 10 miles around us, during this time, Ill be able to rest as well Reneedol replied.

She casually waved her hand.

An invisible fluctuation spread into the surroundings.

Thats great Gu Qing Shan praised.

Everyone began to rest.

The continuous journey so far had caused them all to be exhausted, so within a minute, Scarlet had fallen asleep.

Then Shroud also fell asleep.

Followed by Gu Qing Shan.

After a while, Reneedol stood up and looked at the three young people.

Theyre all asleep now

She muttered, then headed out of the camp and soon disappeared without a trace.

A few moments later.

A sword with an ancient design appeared from behind Gu Qing Shan.

The Earth sword questioned: Has he actually fallen asleep?

Another intricate thin sword appeared from the void of space, answering: That cant be right, he had always been an extremely cautious person, give him a whack to wake him up

This was Luo Bing Li.

Me? Whack him? No, I cant do such a thing the Earth sword replied.

Another sword that gave off a faint glow appeared and began to happily dance around Gu Qing Shan.

The Earth sword said: Chao Yin, make some water and pour it over him

The sword stopped and lightly waved in front of Gu Qing Shan.

A bit of water suddenly manifested in mid-air to pour all over Gu Qing Shans head.

Gu Qing Shan still didnt reply at all, completely delirious.

Shroud and Scarlet were similarly sound asleep.

Seems like he isnt just sleeping

Luo Bing Li pondered.

The Earth sword called out: Shannu, stab him

An autumn-water like blue steel sword silently appeared and stopped over Gu Qing Shans shoulder.

Dont just tell me to stab him again and again, that would wound gongzi, Ive learnt how to control my strength now Shannu replied.

As she spoke, the sword lightly made a small cut over Gu Qing Shans shoulder.

[Law Breaker]!

Gu Qing Shan abruptly jumped.

He wiped the water from his face, looked at the four swords in front of him, then at the sleeping Shroud and Scarlet, instantly understanding his situation.

Thank you, Shannu

Its nothing, gongzi, how are you feeling? Gu Qing Shan looked at the void of space.

A line of glowing text was hovering there:

[Youve been afflicted by Soul Calming, this technique deals no damage, it will only force an individual to enter a state of deep sleep and recover their strength]

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

Reneedols means are varied and numerous, unpredictable and indiscernible, so why did she silently use [Soul Calming] in a place like this?

Did you see where Reneedol went? Gu Qing Shan asked.

No, she directly vanished the Earth sword replied.

This Reneedol seems to have both Spatial and Mental type abilities, if she wanted to flee, you wouldnt be able to locate her at all Luo Bing Li analyzed.

Hm, youre right- but the situation has changed now Gu Qing Shan replied.

Has the situation changed? Luo Bing Li doubtfully asked.

Gu Qing Shan didnt answer and only raised his left hand.

Where is my sister?

He asked.

A black thread appeared on his hand and reached into the void of space towards the distant barren wilderness.

Lets go and see what kind of tricks shes up to this time Gu Qing Shan said.

He used both [Orange Sovereign Transformation] and [Ghostly Shadow of Night] at once, turning into an orange cat.

Meow

The orange cat softly called out, then began to rapidly head into the wilderness following the black thread.

Where wasnt anything within this dark wilderness.

But the orange cat still cautiously maintained [Ghostly Shadow of Night] to ensure nothing would discover his existence.

A few minutes later, he still couldnt see Reneedol within the wilderness.

The orange cat briefly hesitated.

I cant waste time!

With that thought in mind, he instantly disappeared.

[Shadow Shift]!

[Shadow Shift]!

[Shadow Shift]!

this was a Divine Skill unaffected by any barriers or restrictions!

After continuously flashing through the wilderness, the orange cat eventually reached the edge of the wilderness.

There were seven to eight corpses in front of Reneedol, three of which were slowly standing up.

The orange cat slowly walked behind Reneedol and silently sat still.

Where are Wind Deity and Water Deity? one of the corpses asked.

They both died within the Apocalypse, the Laws I granted to them had returned to my body, so I immediately resurrected you all Reneedol replied.

So that was the case, has that event begun? another corpse asked.

he cant be called a corpse anymore at this point, as the blank and stiff expression was slowly becoming animated again.

This individual had truly been resurrected.

I havent noticed any warnings, but I think it will mostly be tonight, so I summoned you all immediately Reneedol replied.

You did the right thing we risk being finished off by the Apocalypse and returned to the Realm of Life precisely for this event, if those guys died then they died, there cant be any mistakes with this matter the third person spoke with a solemn expression.

All of them nodded in agreement.

How many more minutes? Foresight Deity? Reneedol asked.

One of them answered: In three minutes, something will make small gap in the Reality Gate very soon

At that moment, including Reneedol, none of them said anything else.

The orange cat narrowed his eyes and sharply caught a certain emotion from their expressions.

fear.

These Deities from the Pantheon are scared.

What are they afraid of?

If they were afraid, why would they brave the Apocalypse to return to the Realm of Life?

The orange cat had noticed something strange about this.

He no longer sat crouched behind Reneedol and instead silently retreated, taking distance from these people.
