“What is this?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
『 A bit of ti is necessary. Once it had thoroughly beco your power, you will only need to carefully examine it to understand what it is 』the Master of Valhalla yawned and answered him.
Gu Qing Shan turned to the void of space, only to see a notification pop up:
[Please wait]
The Master of Valhalla’s tired voice continued:
『 Gu Qing Shan, my injuries haven’t fully healed, and I’m still undergoing conversion into your Card, so to summon the Saint Realm earlier, I’ve exhausted all of my power—– 』
“Wait!” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked: “Please tell , who exactly was that personage, the Overlooker of Myriad Realms? And what is the Saint Realm?”
『 During this era of Apocalyptic rampage... other than the Dusty World, there exists another secret location that could not be discovered by the Apocalypse——- it is called the Saint Realm of the infinite worlds, and we of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death have a unique ans to communicate with it. That is also the reason why the Twin Rivers of Life and Death was also known as the Saint Realm Halo 』
The Master of Valhalla’s voice slowly beca weaker as if she was falling into sleep——
『 As for the Overlooker of Myriad Realms—- they were hailed as an entity of extre power and terror in the legends. We only know of their na, but what they exactly were... who would know for sure? 』
『 After all... not even the Apocalypses managed to find the Saint Realm... so who would be able to find this terrifying enti... ty... 』
Her voice beca cut-off.
“Master of Valhalla?” Gu Qing Shan called out.
No answer.
Feeling a bit worried, Gu Qing Shan took out the Condemnation Codex and drew her Card.
On her Card, the Master of Valhalla’s eyes were still closed and she was completely motionless.
A notification appeared on the War God UI:
[In slumber]
Gu Qing Shan sighed, having no choice but to put both this Card and the Condemnation Codex away again.
Who would have thought that other than the Dusty World, there was another location that was unaffected by the Apocalypse?
——the Saint Realm!
How exactly did it achieve this?
And where was it hiding?
Gu Qing Shan’s feelings were complicated, and also a bit confused.
However, one thing was clear.
If such a place existed, then it isn’t a location where regular people would be able to enter.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble intensely.
Large patches of rotten mud and dirt began to collapse around him, crumbling into the void of space and quickly disappearing without a trace.
This entire world was falling into destruction.
——-the Phase Realm: Clock Tower will soon cease to exist.
Gu Qing Shan simply stood still for a few monts and discovered that everything around him had vanished.
His vision beca blurry for a split second.
——-he found himself standing in the middle of a barren wasteland once again.
Laura and Liao Xiao Pao were both sitting in front of a campfire, silently waiting.
“Gu Qing Shan!”
Seeing him appear, Laura was delighted.
Liao Xiao Pao also stood up and asked: “Are you ok?”
“I’m fine, what trouble could there be in a cooking competition? It’s a small matter” Gu Qing Shan said with a relaxed expression.
He sat down next to Laura and stretched his back.
A spirit realm war, killing that old man, the appearance of the world’s Judicial Lord, summoning the real spirits, summoning the Saint Realm Halo, and the appearance of the Overlooker of Myriad Realms...
This entire series of events had left Gu Qing Shan feeling highly pressured and focused unlike never before, and now he finally had so space to breathe again.
Dawn has arrived.
The light of the Utopia in the sky was slowly fading.
It then abruptly vanished in front of the trio’s eyes, going sowhere unknown.
Among the first rays of light of dawn, a light breeze brushed past them.
It was a new day.
Gu Qing Shan rested himself briefly before standing back up and said: “Let’s go”
Laura lightly leapt onto his shoulder and made herself comfortable.
Liao Xiao Pao hesitated a bit and asked: “Brother Gu, can I co with you?”
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Aren’t you going to return to your world?”
Liao Xiao Pao sighed: “All of my followers are already dead, I’m now all by myself, so what good would there be in returning?”
Gu Qing Shan told him: “You can co with us if you want, but I need to tell you sothing clearly first, I can’t guarantee your safety at all”
Liao Xiao Pao patted his own tal chest and said: “I now have a complete spirit, so I’m completely unlike my past self and would not so easily—-”
“Stop right there!” Gu Qing Shan imdiately cut him off.
“What’s the matter?” Liao Xiao Pao was a bit confused.
“There are certain things that you simply can’t arbitrarily say, otherwise, the outco would not necessarily be pleasant” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Alright...”
The three of them regained their bearings, then began to brace the morning breeze and flew.
Thanks to the ti-shortening artifact that Liao Xiao Pao found, the three of them would only need to head in the sa direction for about half a day until they can leave this world.
Even so, they didn’t slow down at all.
After all, having reached their level of cultivation, maintaining regular flight speed wouldn’t cost them much, if any stamina at all.
Half a day soon ca to an end.
At a certain point.
Gu Qing Shan and Liao Xiao Pao both stopped.
A bit further ahead of them, the void of space had parted ways to reveal a listone cave.
“It looks like a cave of so sort” Liao Xiao Pao comnted.
“Hm, let’s take a look” Gu Qing Shan said.
They moved forward and quickly stepped onto the listone cave.
The barren wasteland imdiately disappeared behind them.
——–only a naturally smooth stone wall remained behind them.
“Is this also a completely new jurisdiction world system?” Laura curiously asked.
“It should be” Liao Xiao Pao replied.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.
“What’s the matter?” Laura asked out of concern.
“Wait a mont, I have sothing I need to take care of” Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared in front of his eyes:
[You’ve received the grace of the Devil of True Antiquity, Overlooker of Myriad Realms]
[The other party had bestowed the power of a spirit to you]
Billions of malicious grudgeful souls suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision.
These glowing souls were all moving around the eerie rune from below, continuously crying, moaning, screaming.
But right at the very end, all the souls abruptly crumbled into countless luminous sprites that were absorbed into the eerie rune.
The rune flashed and vanished deep inside Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea.
Instantly, new lines of glowing text appeared:
[You’ve grasped the unique Mystery: Overlooking Soul]
[Overlooking Soul: Whenever any being in your vision have emotional fluctuations, you can see the secret hidden in their souls]
[Furthermore, you’ve drawn the gaze of the Overlooker of Myriad Realms]
[You do not know what they are thinking, but they are truly paying attention to you. Perhaps they will grant you aid at certain monts in ti, or request your assistance at other monts, or simply waiting to personally take your soul away from the mortal realm at the ti of your death]
Gu Qing Shan silently read through everything and fell into thought.
Laura suddenly called out: “What’s the matter Gu Qing Shan? Are we going to head forward again, or remain here to rest for a bit?”
Gu Qing Shan turned to her.
A few lines of text written in Bramble Bird language appeared above her head:
[What’s going on with Gu Qing Shan? I feel like he doesn’t want to go forward... Don’t tell he’s taken a fancy to little elder sister Cai Zang——– no, I’m definitely never summoning little elder sister Cai Zang again, hmph!]
What? What’s that?
Could it be what Laura was thinking about?
Is this the ‘secret hidden in their souls’ that was ntioned?
So this was what it ant?
Gu Qing Shan was surprised, but his expression remained indifferent as he turned to Liao Xiao Pao.
To determine this ability’s use, I need to give it another try——-
Liao Xiao Pao seed absentminded like he was thinking about sothing.
But Gu Qing Shan couldn’t see anything at all.
Ah, right, I can only see if they have emotional fluctuations...
Clack!!!
Gu Qing Shan tapped Liao Xiao Pao.
“Huh? What is it?” Liao Xiao Pao regained his senses and turned to Gu Qing Shan.
“What are you thinking about? You look completely lost in thought” Gu Qing Shan said.
Liao Xiao Pao was a bit startled.
So text written in human common language appeared above his head:
[I wonder if miss Tear will like a man like , perhaps I should ask her about it]
Gu Qing Shan: “...”
——-alright then.
So the Devil of True Antiquity had such an ability.
No one’s thoughts would be able to escape its sight.
If this ability was used in combat, wouldn’t it be completely broken?
