Chapter 1546: A toast to the past
White fog filled the room.
Gu Qing Shan and Boss had both returned to the secret room.
“What did you think about my speech earlier?” Boss asked.
“Good enough” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Good enough? Then what do you think about her attitude towards me?” Boss asked again.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him and pondered worriedly.
——this isn’t good.
How can I let this continue?
He clenched his teeth and decided to be cruel just this time: “Boss, if a relationship between two people can be scored on a scale of 10, I think her attitude towards you was at most a 1”
Boss sighed.
Gu Qing Shan patted Boss’ shoulder and said: “Don’t be dejected, she might have acted like it was 1 point, but it wasn’t necessarily 1 point”
Boss turned to him: “You mean there were other possibilities?”
Gu Qing Shan replied with a serious expression: “Just now, there were too many people, she might have held back from killing you right away, so in reality, your relationship score might actually have been a 0”
Boss’ current expression could only be described as profound.
While listening, Crow suddenly felt a sense of respect.
—–this guy’s mouth is even crueller compared to his sword.
“Hm, then there should be no issues” Boss pondered.
“Hm? What do you mean?” Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised and asked.
Boss opened the Book of Prophesized Destinies and recited an incantation.
An empty page in the page manifested a picture——-
It depicted the Isle of Protection.
After the small commotion earlier, Reneedol and the rest continued to remain there.
She was waiting for the giant eyeball.
Boss explained: “I left a bit of the frozen corpse’s presence at the scene. This presence should be undetectable by anyone except the giant eyeball”
Gu Qing Shan asked: “What would happen after it detects it?”
“It’ll probably go crazy in search of the presence, destroying everything in order to see where that presence was coming from” Boss replied.
He lightly rubbed the bridge of his nose and continued: “Let me think——- ah, probably only 7-8 of them at most will be able to survive”
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Boss turned towards him and asked: “You don’t really believe that I actually went there just to talk to her, right?”
Gu Qing Shan slowly laughed.
“I was actually worried that you haven’t been able to let her go” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Of course I haven’t let her go” Boss waved his hand dismissively, “I don’t care about her deceiving me for so many years, but the things she obtained from deceiving me should be given back”
“Then, you’re planning to...” Gu Qing Shan pondered.
Boss casually replied: “I am the Lord of Infinite Origins, Greatest Above the Star Crown, the most powerful entity in the void. If someone else unreasonably came trying to dig my eye away, what other choice do I have except to be similarly unreasonable?”
Gu Qing Shan finally confirmed that Boss had managed to leave it all behind.
He laughed: “Then this is worth a toast”
“Wait a moment, let us observe the situation” Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan turned to the Book of Prophesized Destinies and thought of something, then hurriedly said: “Lin is still over there”
“It’s ok, I’ve already informed her. She has already gotten ready to flee as soon as there are any issues” Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan finally relaxed.
...
The Isle of Protection.
On top of the mountain, Reneedol silently continued to wait.
Two angels suddenly flew in front of Reneedol and reported: “It had suddenly accelerated; it’ll most likely arrive very soon”
“Good” Reneedol replied.
She looked around, only to see all of her subordinates had prepared themselves and nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, the water of the underground river turned bloody red.
The water surged and rose upwards to form a wall of blood that blocked the entire underground river.
Behind the blood, a large shadow gradually appeared.
A resounding voice echoed throughout everyone’s hearts:
「 I can sense that entity... where have you hidden it? 」
Fwoom!
A burst of flames suddenly appeared mid-air.
Reneedol looked up, only to see one of the angels who had stood in formation beginning to burn.
“Argh—–” the angel only managed to utter a curt scream before his body was reduced to ashes.
A second later, the army of angels that had previously stood in formation turned into a sea of flames that covered the entire air above the Isle of Protection.
Reneedol’s spirit instantly froze and shouted: “You can’t treat my subordinates that way, I summoned you here in order to discuss something!”
The echoing voice from before resounded again: 「 I can sense it... its presence, you must hand it over! 」
Immediately after that, numerous desperate cries resounded.
Within the wraith’s formations, large patches of wraiths were instantly reduced to ash and thoroughly vanished from this world.
This time, Reneedol could no longer endure it.
Dark fluctuations appeared around her body as she hurriedly recited:
“Apocalypse of legend, the irreversible source of destruction, the calamity of [Great Flood], heed my call and aid me against the current enemy!”
The entire Isle of Protection suddenly became empty.
The giant eyeball’s voice became a bit more rapid and spoke more strenuously: 「 The [Great Flood], so this was your reliance? 」
——-the legendary Apocalypse had arrived!
Reneedol raised her voice: “I don’t have what you want here, there are only insect-like living beings here. If you want to ensure mutual destruction, then try me!”
The giant eyeball’s resounding voice suddenly stopped, then spoke again with a mocking tone:
「 Mutual destruction? Do you really think that a mere [Great Flood] would be a match for me? 」
「 Inferior lifeforms are always exposing their incomparably ugly faces due to their lack of knowledge, attempting to compete against my light with a mere firefly’s glow! 」
The giant eyeball’s voice gradually grew larger.
Numerous angels and wraiths were turned into dust and sand that scattered in the air.
The number of casualties continued to grow.
Reneedol gazed afar, only to see the sight of endless nothingness replacing the underground river and the Isle of Protection itself, completely surrounding the eyeball within the blood.
But the eyeball was completely unfazed, it merely chuckled and muttered:
「 Too weak, I don’t even want to destroy such an Apocalypse 」
Reneedol was still stupefied when she suddenly heard a series of loud metallic noises resounding by her ears.
——clang clang clang clang clang!
When she looked down, she found that her [Plate of Destiny’s End] was already full of rips and tears.
It was only now that she had realized.
This is unbeatable.
This is an enemy I cannot defeat.
Its mere existence was capable of eradicating all living beings, destroying entire worlds, and killing all Deities.
It is the ultimate power!
Reneedol’s expression suddenly became blank as she recalled a scene in the past.
...
A beautiful warm sun.
A vast blue sky.
Fresh blooming flowers.
Numerous individuals.
Countless Deities and living beings stood at the foot of the mountain.
That man smiled in a refreshing manner.
“Reneedol!”
He loudly called out: “Look, the new era is already here. The Myriad Deities and living beings will be able to enjoy peace and a life of freedom from now on, we will have eternal prosperity!”
That man clenched his hand and raised it up high for those below to witness.
“I, the Greatest Above the Crown Star, swear to protect you all”
“My subjects, who is willing to follow my footsteps and dedicate their strength to me?”
Large numbers of Deities, pixies, mortals, living beings of numerous shapes and forms knelt down at the foot of the mountain like a tidal wave.
「 Great Lord of Radiance, we shall follow you for eternity! 」
A giant declared resolutely.
“We shall follow you for all of eternity!”
Everyone declared at the top of their voices.
Cheers resounded like thunder.
Numerous people responded to his call.
He turned around and gazed at me with bright shining eyes.
“Reneedol, come, stand with me”
He held my hand and walked up to the top of the mountain.
To face everyone below.
He whispered: “This is our era”
“If Rhode was still here, and if Scarlet and Epta were able to witness this, they would surely be proud of us”
...
The vision vanished.
Reneedol regained her senses and looked around her.
Countless screams and cries of despair.
Her subordinates were shouting, screaming, but their despair did not save them from death.
「 If you won’t turn that presence over, then die! 」
The grand voice that rejected all resistance resounded throughout the entire world.
Death descended on them again and again.
There’s no going back.
Everything has already changed.
Reneedol’s gaze became sharp and shouted:
“Retreat!”
Space around her fluctuated and invisibly enveloped her.
——she had left.
...
At the same time.
In another location.
Boss closed his book and calmly said: “It is done”
Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder and said: “Well done, you instantly destroyed the possibility of her and the eyeball cooperating, the pressure on us won’t be quite as great anymore”
Boss nodded, but still appeared a bit unfocused.
“What’s the matter?” Gu Qing Shan asked out of concern.
“It’s nothing... Do you have some alcohol, Rhode?”
“Huh? Why are you calling me by that name?”
“I’m just thinking of the past”
Boss shook his head, the light in his eyes slowly going dim.
Gu Qing Shan went silent, took out a bottle of his strongest liquor, poured a shot for him and Crow, then also poured one for himself.
“A toast to you”
“A toast to the past”
“Missing the past?”
“No, thanking it for giving me pain and allowing me to wake up from my dream”
Boss picked up his shot and finished it all at once.
