Black skeletons were mindlessly crawling all over the ground.
Only Gu Qing Shan and a single piece of scale armor silently floated in front of the bronze pillar.
Yes Gu Qing Shan spoke with conviction, from its eyes, I could tell that it knew who I was
The giant corpse stopped briefly
But now that the monster is dead, theres no way to know what happened now. And I have one piece of advice for you he said.
Go ahead
Before you become strong, dont go looking into secrets that you dont have control over
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Indeed, the situation just now was far from the limit of what I could deal with.
If it werent for the divine armor, or the Earth sword risking its life with one strike, or the Six Paths Great Mountain swords characteristic if even one of those were missing, I wouldve already died.
And it wouldnt have just been me alone, but the corpse wouldnt have been able to escape as well.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and calmly said: Truthfully speaking, all of my recent encounters are all like this, every moment needed me to use all my power, wit and means just to have a slim hope of survival, the root cause of which is because Im simply still too weak
The giant corpse agreed: No matter which world it is, being weak is the only sin, only by becoming strong can you better survive
Gu Qing Shan said: Which is why after this, when everything has been dealt with, Ill have to find a way to get stronger Ill do everything to become stronger!
The giant corpse asked: Whats been happening recently outside?
Quite a lot actually
Gu Qing Shan told him about some of the most recent events.
So the [Demon King Order] appeared huh the giant corpse sighed.
Thats right, Ive already killed every demonized, I wont let it escape from this world Gu Qing Shan said.
Thats good, otherwise if it was allowed to meet up with the main [Order] from the Fallen Zones, itll continue to evolve further the giant corpse said.
Ill let it destroy itself within that closed-off world Gu Qing Shan said.
Destroy the [Order]? What do you plan to do?
I said it just now, Ive killed all the demonized
Which evolution is the [Demon King Order] at now?
Its currently evolving into [Revolution]
Then you wont kill it that way
Hm? Gu Qing Shan froze.
The giant corpse patiently explained: Yes, as many now know, when its still in its [Kindling] or [Origin] stage, as long as no catalyst exists for the [Order], the [Order] will disappear
But when an [Order] reaches [Revolution] stage, it wont be that easy to destroy it
Without a carrier, itll simply enter a dormant state, using as little energy as possible to ensure its own survival until a new carrier appears
This is a secret that not many in the entire 900 million World Layers knows about. Now that Ive told you, you have to keep it a secret and not tell anyone else, otherwise
The giant corpse stayed silent and said nothing else.
Then its fortunate that I came to see you Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth: Is there any way to destroy it now?
Why do you need to do that? Does it already consider you an arch-enemy? the giant corpse asked him back.
Yes Gu Qing Shan replied.
The giant corpse went silent for a while.
Apparently, he was considering something extremely important.
After a while.
A piece of black scale peeled off from the armor and flew in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The black layer then proceeded to break off to reveal a small silver box.
As he looked at this silver box, Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of solemnity.
Inside that Tristes collection world, were there any light? the corpse asked.
Light?
Yes, natural light
There is, above the clouds
Then thats enough, take this box with you. When [Revolution] completes its evolution, as soon as it appears, take this box and throw it above the clouds the giant corpse seriously told him.
Following his words, the silver box landed in Gu Qing Shans hand.
Do you have any means to conceal it? On your way back, you have to make sure that it doesnt get exposed the giant corpse asked.
I have a soul-bound Inventory Bag, will that be enough? Gu Qing Shan asked.
It will be good enough, put it in there by itself, make sure to not let anything get close to it. Make sure that you dont open it until you use it the giant corpse told him.
Gu Qing Shan followed his words and neatly put the silver box away.
Whats in the box? he asked.
A beacon
A beacon?
Yes, it can summon the [Demon King Order]s natural enemy an [Order] thats also at the third stage, if they ever meet each other in the same world, they will engage in a mutually destructive combat and kill each other
You definitely cant tell anyone about this, the only thing you can tell them is that youve killed all the demonized, got it?
Got it
The giant corpse was still worried so he reminded Gu Qing Shan again: Make sure that under no circumstances will you ever mention a single word about this. Otherwise, even if you could escape the [Demon King Order]s pursuit, even more, terrifying creatures will come after you
Alright, dont worry, I at least know how to keep my mouth shut Gu Qing Shan also seriously replied.
At this time, Gu Qing Shan began to feel a faint sense of rejection.
The world itself was rejecting him.
But there were still a lot of mysteries that havent been solved, and more things he still wanted to ask the giant corpse.
I have to leave now he said.
Hm, after you leave, Ill have to fix up my body and think of a way to conceal this world, thatll be quite a bit of work the giant corpse told him.
Can I only come here whenever I breakthrough? he asked.
Correct
But the last time I went to Huang Quan, I was able to end up here
The corpse stopped him: When you faked death to come here last time, it was a dangerous situation on its own, Ive just never told you about it
Not to mention, now that the situation has changed, you shouldnt carelessly attempt to get here
The safest method is still me leading your soul vessel here whenever you breakthrough a realm
Gu Qing Shan could only nod.
The force acting on him became stronger and stronger, pulling his soul back into his body.
Im about to leave-
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan recalled something important.
He immediately asked: I still have a question, what is a world tomb?
A world tomb? So you even know about that huh? the giant corpse was surprised to hear that.
My times almost up!
Sure, Ill tell you
When the Gods created the world, occasionally they would make a mistake and create a few inexplicable objects
Because they were created with the combined efforts of several Gods, some of them are particularly powerful, a few other are peculiar and unreasonable, and there are even some creations that even the Gods are afraid of
A lot of these failed creations are destroyed by the Gods
But similarly, a lot of these creations simply cant be destroyed even by the same Gods that created them
So the Gods have no choice but to think of a way to seal away these strange and powerful creations away, hiding them where they wont be easily discovered to avoid them from messing up the order of the worlds
Gu Qing Shan asked: What are those creations then?
No one knows, only when you open a world tomb will you know exactly whats inside perhaps it could be a book, or a weapon, a life form, it could possibly even be an incomplete world. Simply said, theres no telling what youll find inside a world tomb, because the Gods never said anything about them when they hid them away
Basically, the creations that the Gods sealed and threw away are usually hidden in locations where they arent meant to be found, which are called world tombs as a whole
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
He still remembers the conversation he had with the War God System.
[Youve moved away from the world tomb]
Whats a world tomb?
[What you call Reality]
Why did you call it that?
The War God System didnt answer him and only stayed silent.
So a world tomb was hidden inside Reality!
Was that really the case?
At this time, the force acting on Gu Qing Shans soul vessel became stronger and stronger.
He was about to leave this world!
One last thing! Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted.
Quickly, you dont have much time the giant corpse urged him.
How do I become stronger faster?
The giant corpse quickly answered: Go to the Strife Zones, theres another [Worlds-
Hoh!
Without being able to hear everything, Gu Qing Shan was ejected from the world and pulled back to his body.
He turned into a streak of light that quickly followed the same way back.
Apocalypse Online] there, but it isnt the [Demon King Order]
The corpse finished its sentence.
But Gu Qing Shan had already left.
