[Pure Male]!
These words silently hovered above Gu Qing Shan’s head while giving off a faint low, as if trying to declare sothing.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression was unchanged, but he was silently shocked.
——if the Dusty World values Titles so highly, why is my Title such a joke again?
Before he even asked anything, Laura had already asked: “I need to ask, why is he a [Pure Male]?”
『 This was the decision of the Dusty World’s collective will as a whole, representing the world’s initial impression of you—- both yours and his title were the sa, and the deep implications contained within aren’t sothing I can explain in a few words 』the woman explained.
After that, she swung the stick in her hand and tapped the glowing text above Gu Qing Shan’s head.
Gu Qing Shan could sense sothing changing.
He turned to the void of space and saw lines of glowing text appearing in front of him:
[You’ve obtained the Title: Pure Male]
[This is the first Occultism Title you’ve obtained]
[By obtaining this Title, you received the Occultism power: Innocent]
[Innocent: The entire Dusty World stands witness to your innocence, no one would be able to badmouth or accuse you without reason]
[—–Whenever you do anything or is caught in any incidents, keep in mind, you are pure]
Gu Qing Shan: “...”
He have had plenty of Titles, from simple ones like [Sword 15], practical like [Shen Wei General], eerie like [Star Fla War God], but never have he seen an unusual Title like [Pure Male]
He was already speechless.
The woman depicted of light slightly bowed to them, then said: 『 Your initial Titles have been determined, please head to the end of the passage and you can enter the Dusty World 』
After saying so, she scattered into light and vanished in front of them.
Their surroundings returned to silence.
Gu Qing Shan began to lead Laura forward again.
“Laura...”
“Huh?”
“Do you know what your Title can do?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask.
Laura asked him back: “You an [Returned Bramble Blood]? The [Order]’s UI had explained that I would be favored and welcod by the Dusty World. I would never have to go the long way round or lose my way, the ancestor spirits of the Bramble Bird race would describe my surroundings to —- I would be able to reach the very center of the world itself”
Gu Qing Shan was speechless again.
Look at her!
Would not get lost, would not go the long way around, up until she reaches the center of the world.
——–the entire world welcos her!
And look at !
I’m innocent!
The hell I do need to be innocent for!?
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and stopped himself from thinking further about this, regaining this calm.
He walked with Laura to the very end of the passage.
“Whoa—— Gu Qing Shan, look!” Laura exclaid.
Standing at the end of the passage, Gu Qing Shan looked towards the dark void up ahead and felt unimaginably moved.
The River of Ti!
The river that was supposed to have been hidden among the Laws of Reality had clearly manifested in front of their eyes.
Even grander, the River of Ti was hanging just above their heads, so Gu Qing Shan and Laura could observe the bottom of the river from where they stood.
Countless flows of ti were moving back and forth, chasing and swirling around one another to form an enormous vortex at the very bottom of the River of Ti.
And at the center of the vortex, there was a vision clouded in fog.
The vision appeared to be a large continent at a glance, but so strange and unusual things could occasionally be seen appearing from it, it was completely unaffected by the entire ti vortex, remaining unfazed by its influence.
“It’s unbelievable, Gu Qing Shan, take a look at that, the River of Ti couldn’t affect that place at all!” Laura exclaid loudly.
“You’re right. Or rather, it’s using the River of Ti to create its own unique flow of ti” Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the vision and judged.
At this point, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve discovered the entrance to the Dusty World]
[The Dusty World had also discovered you]
[Thanks to your Occultist identity, the Dusty World believes you to be an innocent man]
[——-no, strictly speaking, you are a pure male]
[You’ve received the summon of the Dusty World and is about to enter the outskirts region]
At the very next mont, Gu Qing Shan felt an imnse force pulling on him.
He and Laura were guided by a force that quickly took them through the River of Ti and into the vision.
...
There was nobody on the cold damp streets.
Gu Qing Shan and Laura lightly landed next to a dim streetlight.
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
There was a path laid with stone bricks below him that continued to stretch until the nearest turning corner.
——all the other streetlights were already broken, only the streetlight imdiately where they stood was still able to illuminate its surroundings.
Light rain was showering them from above, filling the entire city in a chilling wet aura that seed almost like a large monster always ready to pounce on any unsuspecting victims.
“Is this the Dusty World?” Gu Qing Shan seed to be in disbelief.
“Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?” Laura asked.
“No, these structures are so ordinary that I can’t see any noteworthy targets” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“It’s the middle of the night though, Gu Qing Shan”
After saying that, Laura suddenly put up a finger to shush him.
Gu Qing Shan went quiet.
The two of them had both noticed sothing and looked up.
Within the cold rain, a small, dimly glowing small bird flew across the night sky and gently landed on top of the streetlight.
The small bird looked closely at Laura and chirped continuously.
Laura appeared to be listening intently.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then suddenly realized.
——–that’s right, Laura’s Title was [Returned Bramble Blood], so the spirits of the Bramble Bird race would show up to explain everything to her.
After talking shortly with Laura, the glowing small bird disappeared without a trace.
“How was it? Did you find out sothing?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Laura glanced at where the bird had disappeared to, trembled a bit, then answered: “This place is one of the cities at the outskirts of the Dusty World, we need to quickly find a way to leave this place”
“Why?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Laura explained: “Because this region was the closest to the outside River of Ti, one day here is equal to ten days outside. In other words, our ti continues to flow here”
Gu Qing Shan sharply asked: “The deeper we head into the Dusty World, the slower ti would flow?”
“Exactly!” Laura affird.
“Then what are we waiting for? Give the directions, I’ll bring you and fly over there” Gu Qing Shan said.
Laura shook her head: “That’s not how it works. Since we already arrived in this city, we’ve accepted its help, so we must receive its recognition as well in order to leave”
“How do we receive its recognition?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“We need to get the city to give us a more advanced Title” Laura replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
——-no wonder the woman in the passage wanted to determine Laura and mine initial Title first.
It turns out that Titles are very important within the Dusty World, they’re equivalent to a kind of travel passport.
The Titles themselves also carry a unique power.
“Alright, then we need to sohow quickly get another Title from this city” Gu Qing Shan sighed and said.
“My ancestor’s spirit said that ever since we entered this city, all of our actions would affect the creation of our new Title”
While they talked, so commotion could be heard from the nearby alley.
A group of drunkards staggered out from the darkness.
“Look, such a rare beautiful little girl” one of the n called out.
The others turned to Laura.
A man muttered: “This is a rare one... whether we hand her over to the bigshots or sell her, we’d still get a large sum of money”
Another man who seed to be the leader stood up and said: “Sell her? You’re crazy! If we use this kind of little girl as an offering...”
He began approaching Gu Qing Shan and called out: “Hey, you over there. You selling that little girl on yer shoulder?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Not for sale”
The man’s eyes suddenly turned jet-black and grinned: “Well that’s not up to you”
He drew two daggers——
With a cold gleam, the man’s body beca frozen.
Thud!
His head fell on the ground and rolled away.
At the sa ti, the other n were also killed by a single strike.
Laura was surprised: “Gu Qing Shan, how co you killed them before you even said anything? That’s not how you usually are”
“I can sense a presence from them that makes very uncomfortable” Gu Qing Shan replied indifferently.
In reality, as the Death God of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death, as well as the Huang Quan Devil King, he could sense a wicked power exuding from their bodies from the very beginning.
—–I have to kill them.
“There’s sothing strange about this city, let’s go around and take a careful look” Gu Qing Shan suggested.
“Alright” Laura agreed.
As they were about to leave, so noises could be heard from behind them.
The dead n had been revived, once again standing back up.
“Pitiful fool, did you think a single cold weapon was enough to kill us?” the leader grinned.
The n behind him all smirked as well.
An eerie presence suddenly spread from their bodies, almost like sothing was trying to awaken from their bodies.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and didn’t try to turn around.
At the very next mont——-
The n’s chests abruptly burst open, spilling blood everywhere.
“No... How did you know our... was hidden in...” the leader seed clearly unwilling to accept this outco.
Before they finished their words, they collapsed back on the ground and lost all signs of life.
——this ti, they really were dead.
Within the icy dark rain shower, blurry sword phantoms drifted in the sky for a bit before gradually fading away.
Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space in front of Gu Qing Shan:
[As the other party’s combat skills were so clumsy and they were as weak as ants, you only needed to perform a single strike for the Causality Law to help you discern their fatal weakness]
[Your Causeless Sword (passive ability) had activated]
[You’ve killed five Fallen]
