Chapter 1327: Survive!
“””Aaaaaaa!”””
Through the silent night sky, three voices with varying frequencies resounded.
Boom!!!
An asteroid landed outside the small border village of Ramon belonging to the Duchy[1].
A young man, a woman, and a duck plushie appeared from within the crater.
“Cough cough! Falling from such height, it hurts” the duck plushie complained.
“You researchers are always lacking in physical training” the woman said.
She stood up, drew the rapier located at her hip, and observed their surroundings.
An immature male voice called out: “I disagree with that statement. Research work would not cause any demerits to personal training”
Gu Qing Shan.
The young man also drew his sword and stood back-to-back with the woman.
A mass of indigo stars suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
Countless voices resounded from the stars, speaking in unison:
「 We have turned into the Will and Laws of this world, exerting our strength to help the living beings of this world triumph against the wraiths, the monsters, and the plague 」
「 Strangers, please help us and this world 」
「 We have bestowed the three of you with a universal language translation technique, as well as your corresponding identities—– 」
Three wooden trunks fell down from mid-air, landing in front of Gu Qing Shan’s group.
The voices continued: 「 However, you will naturally need to do a certain thing before you can use these identities 」
「 ——-you will first need to survive 」
After that, the indigo stars slowly disappeared.
The three of them exchanged glances, then looked at the wooden trunks in front of them.
“So, these trunks contain the identities that the world prepared for us?” Yu Juan asked.
“Survive?” Crow chuckled, casually brandishing her rapier: “Aren’t they looking down on us too much?”
Yu Juan agreed: “That’s right——- I’m a researcher of the Void Grand Library, for someone to question my survival abilities, they’re really underestimating us”
Gu Qing Shan didn’t reply to them, instead, focusing his gaze on the void of space.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[Time: Saint Spirit year 769]
[Location: Ramon village]
[The system senses the fusion rifts between the three worlds, one of the three fusing worlds will open a path]
[If you can survive, this world will recognize your identities]
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then opened the trunk in front of him first.
Inside was a will, a certificate of identification, as well as a wooden bow and arrows.
Gu Qing Shan took the certificate and will, reading both of them carefully before speaking:
“A new town was founded in this location thanks to pioneers who performed land reclamation, its original ruler had already passed away, and I’m the offspring of that pioneer. As customs dictates, I must travel to the Viscount’s manor in the viscounty within 10 days in order to accept the title of Baron at the conferring ceremony”
Gu Qing Shan held the wooden bow in his hand, estimating its strength.
Crow kicked open the trunk in front of him, only to see a single iron badge, a document, as well as a small bag inside.
“Why are my items different from yours?”
She picked the iron badge up, only to see the name ‘Crow’ carved on one side and the silhouette of a woman engraved on the other.
The document described her identity as a knight in detail, while the small bag was full of coins.
“A knight? Good enough”
Crow put the bag away.
“Pioneers... seem like you and Yu Juan are supposed to be my guards, and we’re the lowest-ranked nobles in this world” Gu Qing Shan analyzed.
“We probably need to quickly climb up and gain authority in this world” Crow clenched her pearl-white fist.
“But this world was said to be the most powerful in the parallel world, we still don’t know what kind of social structure it follows, so a bit more observation is necessary” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Yu Juan patted his chest: “What social structure, just leave it to me, I’ve studied so many civilizations that I’m already used to this line of work. I’m also an expert in how to gain authority in various civilizations——– I have almost 800 years’ worth of civilization conquering theories, as well as 97 successful practical applications”
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan and Crow both felt respect.
Crow then said: “Yu Juan, quickly take a look at your identity, maybe you’ll be able to help us a lot!”
Yu Juan nodded: “Hm—– that’s true, I’ll see what my identity is, I’ll be relying on it to make it big”
The duck plushie jumped up and opened the trunk with his wing.
There was nothing in the trunk except a single card.
The duck picked up the card, looked carefully at it, only to see two lines of text:
[Toy: a duck plushie]
[Price: 1 copper coin]
The duck plushie held this card in a frozen posture without moving for a long while.
A cold breeze blew past them.
Watching the duck’s sorrowful back, Gu Qing Shan encouraged him: “Yu Juan, the power of knowledge is infinite, snap out of it!”
Crow also joined in: “That’s right, the world spirit just now said that we will first need to survive! This is the moment for us to remain united because a monster might appear before we even know it”
Silence.
Both the young man and the duck plushie turned to Crow and shouted: “”What did you say just now???””
Crow froze, then replied in an embarrassed manner: “I got a bit confused after turning into a woman, I temporarily forgot about my ‘Woe out – weal in’ ability...”
A second later.
Another gust of wind blew past them.
In the wind, a low howl resounded.
“Oh no——”
“What——”
Gu Qing Shan and Crow both drew their weapons at the same time, barely managing to stop the attack.
Clang! Clang!
Both of them were sent flying, kicking up a huge amount of dirt and dust from the unpaved path.
Where they originally stood, a large wolf whose entire body was covered in razor-sharp fur had appeared.
A split second later, Gu Qing Shan abruptly appeared and thrust his sword towards the wolf.
Without backing off, the wolf shouted: 「 Die! 」
It unleashed a blinding blast from its mouth——
Boom!
Gu Qing Shan and Crow, who was behind him, were both sent flying.
The two of them spun a few times in mid-air in order to negate the momentum.
“Not a normal monster, it knows how to fight two at once, definitely sentient” Crow commented.
“Knows how to talk, most likely a fellow who wandered here from the extinct monster world” Gu Qing Shan followed up.
“It’s not very powerful, can’t hurt you and me, but it’s too fast” Crow continued.
“I suspect that wasn’t speed, but some sort of ability instead” Gu Qing Shan also said.
The two of them exchanged information in a brief moment before suddenly falling silent.
“Oh no, Yu Juan is——” Gu Qing Shan said with a panicked expression.
Yu Juan’s strength lies in his knowledge and understanding of the world, but his direct combative prowess paled in comparison to Gu Qing Shan and Crow.
Not to mention, he was now a duck plushie.
His life was in danger!
Gu Qing Shan and Crow both turned to Yu Juan’s position—–
Only to see the duck plushie leaning motionlessly on the wooden trunk.
He was holding the card in his mouth——-
[Toy: Duck plushie]
[Price: 1 copper coin]
The wolf sniffed him, then took a careful look, and finally nodded.
「 A ridiculous non-living thing... 」the wolf muttered.
It’s just an object, there’s no need to pay attention to it.
The wolf turned to Gu Qing Shan and Crow.
It spoke to them in a mocking tone: 「 Come, humans. I can already sense the laughably feeble power you possess. In this world, you are surely among ‘the weak’, just suitable to be my food 」
A split second later.
The wolf’s body was suddenly enveloped in ice, temporarily restraining it in place!
「 How ridiculous, you think you can trap me like this? 」the wolf howled.
It only needed a single second to escape this ice trap.
But being who they were, how would Gu Qing Shan and Crow give it that chance?
A rapier clad in flames and a sword with rippling lightning both descended from both.
Boom!
The intense flame and lightning rose sky-high!
Intense wind swept in every direction.
A second later, the wolf collapsed to the ground with a ‘thud’.
“This world’s Laws and Origin power are truly extraordinary” Crow commented.
“Why do you say that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Crow pointed at the small hole on the ground: “We were both fighting at full strength. If this was a world with inferior Laws, that might have already caused damage to the world itself. But since we were able to fight as we pleased without causing much of a scratch, it was clear that this world was exceptionally powerful, a lot more powerful than the power we possess”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “So that’s how it was. I heard that this used to be the most powerful world, but now that it had fused with two other worlds, the Origin power it possesses is probably far beyond our imaginations”
“We’ve both signed a covenant to not destroy any worlds—– finally we can fight without worrying about the world being unable to handle it” Crow sheathed her rapier.
“Speaking of which—— it’s fortunate that we have Yu Juan who suddenly unleashed that trap” Gu Qing Shan commented.
The two of them turned to Yu Juan.
He quickly ran forward, spat on the ground, and angrily kicked the wolf’s head with his feet.
“What do you mean ‘ridiculous non-living thing’?”
“Fucker, which one of us is non-living now, huh?”
The duck plushie was venting his anger.
Gu Qing Shan: “...”
Crow: “...”
“I’ve just thought——- now that Yu Juan is with us, we’ll have a lot more strategies we can employ, huh?” Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Crow nodded in agreement.
[1] A Duchy is a land owned by a Duke, like how a Kingdom is a land under a King, and Empire is the land under an Emperor, but since no specific name had been mentioned, it’s just known as the Duchy for now
