Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and scanned through this entire broken world.

Collapsed structures, scattered corpses, ripped and tattered Cards that laid all over the ground, as well as the still-burning flames perfectly displayed what this world had gone through.

The sky no longer existed.

Within the deep darkness of the void, countless monsters were moving back and forth, apparently trying to check the world’s surroundings.

——-they were trying to find even more worlds to corrode.

Although Gu Qing Shan and Lin appeared below what used to be the world’s atmosphere, Gu Qing Shan was wearing the Silent Dusk Cloak while Lin had completely hidden her presence, so they didn’t draw the monsters’ attention just yet.

Gu Qing Shan landed on the ground, put his hand on a corpse, and silently sensed it.

The corpse still had a bit of warmth, the armor they were wearing was clearly crushed by a heavy impact.

“It seems that a great battle occurred in this world” Lin commented.

“Yeah, by the fleas that you mentioned before” Gu Qing Shan pointed in a certain direction.

A few corpses of the monsters with 6 claws and skull heads were laying among the ruined structures.

These were the monsters killed in the war.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand towards the ground and summoned a tattered Card to his hand.

A notification popped up on the War G.o.d UI:

[Transformation Card: Flame Elemental Giant]

[This Card has thoroughly been damaged, no longer usable]

Gu Qing Shan sighed in regret.

“They aren’t actually fleas, and you shouldn’t underestimate them. In truth, their civilizations aren’t weak in comparison to the 900 million World Layers as a whole” Lin told him.

“Hm. Huh?”

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze was attracted by the medallion in his hand.

This guidance medallion seems to have sensed something and was constantly vibrating.

All of a sudden, it jumped to the air and started giving off a message:

[Friends of Sky Haze Kingdom, attention please]

[We have retreated to the Mystic Zones]

[Repeat, we have retreated to the Mystic Zones]

[If you want to look for us, please come to the Mystic Zones]

After that announcement, the medallion lost its power and fell back into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and put the medallion away.

He had understood the situation, because the voice just now was the ruler of Sky Haze Kingdom, Hazeden.

It seems that they were still alive, but couldn’t help but retreat due to being unable to resist against their enemies.

“What do we do now? Head to the Mystic Zones?” Lin asked.

“No hurry”

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and searched the broken surface of this world.

He carefully observed everywhere on the battlefield before putting his hands together and formed a hand seal.

Telekinesis.

This was a basic hand seal that even a new cultivator at Qi Training realm could learn and utilize, mostly in order to pick things up from afar.

But in the hands of Gu Qing Shan, who was a Three Thousand Worlds realm cultivator, this hand seal was able to display considerably more prowess.

All the tattered Cards scattered around on this vast broken world started to hover and swiftly flew towards Gu Qing Shan.

Since there were so many of them, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but gather them all in the air like a giant sphere made of Cards.

Lin looked up at the sky.

The monsters also seemed to have noticed Gu Qing Shan’s action.

She then looked at the Cards and told him: “All of these Cards have already been damaged in battle, they can’t be used anymore”

“I know” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Then why are you gathering these garbage items?”

“They’ll be useful later”

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand over the sphere.

The countless Cards all vanished, returning to his Inventory Bag.

Gu Qing Shan then took out the colorful rooster.

The rooster had the War G.o.d intelligence function affixed to it, so Gu Qing Shan thought very highly of the rooster’s usage.

——–and since it had been over a day since he last received information, it can be used again.

Gu Qing Shan pulled on the rooster’s comb.

The colorful rooster came back to life.

“Say, we’re both men here, can’t you treat me a bit more respectfully?” the rooster put its comb back properly with its wings and complained.

“Sorry about that, I’ll pay more attention next time, now please give me a bit of intel” Gu Qing Shan said.

“You ready with the Soul Points?” the rooster asked.

“Same as last time”

“Alright, let me check”

The rooster raised its head up and began to check something inside the void.

A few moments later, it told Gu Qing Shan: “There’s one good news and one bad news, but according to the rules, I can only give you one of them—– which one do you want?”

“Why not both? I’ll give you a bit more Soul Points” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“I can’t. Although I really want the extra Soul Points, if I go against the rules, I’ll collapse” the rooster regretfully told him.

“Alright, give me the good news then” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Wait——-” Lin stopped him and asked: “Why aren’t you choosing the bad news? If we know the bad news, we’ll be able to prepare ahead of time”

She signaled for Gu Qing Shan to look up.

——the flock of monsters were starting to gather high in the sky.

They had noticed the two people on the ground.

Gu Qing Shan also looked up and shrugged helplessly: “The parallel world’s Apocalypse is spreading, the forces of the Abyss are penetrating the 900 million World Layers——- that is a lot of bad news for us right now——— when everything we need to face means bad news, there’s really no need to prepare anything at all”

“That’s true” Lin thought briefly and agreed.

The first squad of monsters had already descended from above, silently approaching the two of them.

Lin bent her knees slightly, clenched her fists, and abruptly threw a punch at the sky.

Pu pu pu pu pshh!

Around 10 miles away, the entire squad of monsters was struck head-on by this attack.

The monsters were all beaten to a pulp, caught by the momentum of the punch, and continued flying back to where they came.

Gu Qing Shan glanced over them and continued to explain: “But the good news isn’t the same, perhaps it would give us guidance from another perspective instead”

Lin mused about his words.

The colorful rooster flapped its wings together and praised: “What a sharp young man. Now I’m confident you’d be able to provide Soul Points in the long term”

“Here’s your Soul Points” Gu Qing Shan infused Soul Points into the rooster’s body.

“Aaaa~ how comfortable, that really hit the spot” the rooster happily closed its eyes.

Gu Qing Shan had a sudden thought.

——-from the looks of it, the rooster’s ability seems to work through being fueled by Soul Points.

“Then please tell me the good news you’ve obtained” he said.

The colorful rooster cleared its throat and replied: “Little man, your reinforcements are coming”

“Reinforcements?”

“That’s right, within the 900 million World Layers, the one with wealth that far surpa.s.ses anyone else is currently using various strange and unusual treasures to search for you”

“She has already found your trace and is currently heading here, so if you want to meet up with her, don’t move”

“It’s great that we found out about this, otherwise we would have already left” Gu Qing Shan felt glad.

The rooster blinked at him a few times, turned back into a statue, and stopped moving.

Gu Qing Shan put the colorful rooster away.

“Who’s that?” Lin asked.

“Didn’t you already read my thoughts? Can’t you guess?” Gu Qing Shan grinned, seemingly in a very good mood.

Indeed, if there was a person that could be described as ‘has wealth that far surpa.s.ses anyone else in the 900 million World Layers’, then it must be her.

——–the Bramble Bird Empress who awakened three Mystic-type innate abilities: [Shelter of Infinite Worlds], [Blessing of the Empress], and [Vagrant Treasure Collector] on her coming of age ceremony.

Laura.

She had always been patiently looking for Gu Qing Shan!

Lin carefully thought about it, then replied: “I did, but I’m sure you’ve never thought about such a person before”

“Ah… it’s a little girl——– we accompanied one another for a not inconsiderable amount of time and went through a lot of hards.h.i.+p together, so you could say that she’s like my little sister” Gu Qing Shan told her, embarra.s.sed.

Lin crossed her arms and slowly asked: “Which means, we’re going to wait right here?”

“That’s right, we need to meet up with her if only to make sure that she doesn’t have to constantly chase after us——– you know how chaotic the situation is, it wouldn’t be good if she happens to run into some sort of irresistible monster” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Lin nodded in agreement with him.

The two of them looked up at the sky.

A large number of monsters began to charge downwards on them.

They had now completely filled the sky above, screeching angrily because of Lin’s attack, apparently looking to avenge the squad from before.

“You need to be careful. I noticed quite a few who aren’t any weaker than you, careful not to trip over a pebble now” Lin told him in a low voice.

Gu Qing Shan had also noticed a few particularly powerful monsters.

——–some of them had even reached the Paragon realm power level, even stronger than he currently was.

No wonder Lin reminded him to be careful.

“Being stronger or not doesn’t always determine the outcome of a battle, and victory isn’t necessarily just dependent on strength” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.

“Then what does it depend on then?” Lin asked with interest.

At this point, all the monsters swooped down at once!

Gu Qing Shan silently prepared his sword techniques.

A sword with an ancient design manifested next to him.

The Earth sword.

Oong———

The Earth sword took to the sky and received the incoming wave of monsters.

Secret Art, [Torrent]!

Intense sword qi surged forward and swept across the sky like a mad dragon, completely unstoppable.

In front of the Earth sword’s [Sanctuary] and [Earth’s Choice], none of the monsters managed to endure a single hit.

“On equipment”

Gu Qing Shan answered.

All of a sudden, he felt a wondrous sensation in his mind——-

Some sort of magic was acting on him.

“This sensation, is this [Blessing of the Empress]?” Gu Qing Shan whispered.

Lin also felt the same.

She looked at Gu Qing Shan in surprise, only to see a leaf glowing in bright emerald light appear from thin air, fluttered in front of Gu Qing Shan, and opened up a tunnel in the void of s.p.a.ce.

Following that, a suit of s.h.i.+ning armor appeared.

The suit of armor swiftly broke apart into its components and swiftly attached itself to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan started giving off a sense of divine dignity, clad in s.h.i.+ning holy light just like a true deity.

This is the Bramble Bird Sovereign armor!

——she had arrived!
