————————–

Gu Qing Shan was clearly delighted.

Since Lady Darksea had agreed, [Order] shall grow rapidly from this point, but I wonder if there’s enough time——–

“Lady Darksea, by the time the Reality Gate opens, would you be able to gather enough power to awaken the Awaitings?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Lady Darksea replied: [With our current progress, that is most likely not possible. I’m afraid the Order would only be able to achieve that an hour after the Reality Gate opens]

An hour after?

That’s not enough time at all!

Gu Qing Shan then said: “Lady Darksea, please help me contact Crow, I need to talk with him”

[Please wait a moment, I’ll contact him immediately]

After a while, Gu Qing Shan heard an irritated voice speaking to him:

[Ah, mister Gu, granddad, have you finally remembered me?]

——this was Crow.

Ever since he left to spread [Order] to the worlds within the Reality Gate, Gu Qing Shan and Shroud had been so busy with various matters that they forgot about him.

It was natural for him to feel angry at them.

Gu Qing Shan adjusted his tone a bit and exclaimed: “Crow, you’re the number one core member among all of us, currently in the process of bringing salvation to billions of world, how could I have bothered you before?”

Shroud had also been linked into the communication and followed-up: “That’s right, we can only do a few non-crucial minor things. You’re the real messiah of this Reality, Crow, we wouldn’t dare arbitrarily interrupt your work”

The other side went silent for a few moments.

And then they suddenly heard loud laughter:

[Ahahahaha, of course! Naturally!]

[—-Saving the world is nothing but child’s play to me, since you haven’t seen such a grand sight too many times before, it’s natural for you both to feel awkward]

Gu Qing Shan remained expressionless and followed-up: “This can’t be helped, Crow, we’re now at a critical turning point, you have to speed up once again and fly as fast as you can to spread [Order] to even more worlds than before”

He silently told Lady Darksea: “Give him a mission, name it [Greatest Absolute Unbeatable Messiah’s Mission] and have him speed up the spreading of [Order] as much as possible”

[Understood] Lady Darksea replied

...

In a distant world.

Crow was soaring through the sky while talking to Gu Qing Shan, then suddenly noticed a new mission popping up in front of him.

[Emergency state initiated]

[The Greatest Absolute Unbeatable Messiah’s Mission has been triggered!]

Crow was surprised.

Gu Qing Shan then spoke to him again: [Crow, the entire fate of the world inside the Reality Gate rests on your shoulders. The Reality Gate is about to be opened, so you must spread Order as far and as fast as possible, only then would we have the power to awaken the most ancient and most powerful Combatants we have]

Crow called out full of spirit: “Got it! Leave this small matter to this great one!”

His figure shifted and turned into a bird.

Caw!

The bird uttered a resounding caw before flapping his wings at full speed and instantly vanished without a trace.

...

At another location.

The Wraith realm.

[Your excellency Gu Qing Shan, Crow had sped up by 30%, he is most likely flying at his maximum speed] Lady Darksea reported.

“Will he make it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[The speed of the Order’s growth will increase once again. According to my calculations, about 10 minutes after the Reality Gate opens, I will have gathered enough power] Lady Darksea answered.

“10 minutes? Then it seems we’ll have to come up with something during these 10 minutes by ourselves” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Shroud suddenly cuts in: “After the Reality Gate opens, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon would summon the 9 Apocalypses that destroyed the Samsara in the past. When that happens, even if we awaken the Awaitings, they would still not be able to deal with these 9 Apocalypses”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I know, but we’re currently facing a situation of hopeless despair. Any little bit of extra strength we can muster is one more possibility”

Suddenly——

Above the Wraith Temple, a resounding voice echoed throughout this world:

「 Ants who hide in their burrows always feel that they’re safe 」

「 This is the laughable point of inferior creatures, the sorrow of their insignificant dust-like lives 」

A gigantic shadow suddenly appeared far above the sky.

It was the giant eyeball!

—–The entire world then fell into panic.

The End of Time Apocalypse’s voice was suddenly heard by his ears:

“All hands prepare, it’s about to start”

Gu Qing Shan looked up at the shadow that obscured the entire world and felt all of his emotions vanishing without a trace.

The Apocalypses had been waiting for this moment.

After this, I will force Reneedol out of her shelter and force her to face the giant eyeball.

What happened after that?

Demon Dragon—— no, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon would then persuade Reneedol.

Reneedol would then surrender to the Apocalypses!

Shroud suddenly spoke up: “The Awaitings originated from outside the Reality Gate. They truly are powerful and had the ability to fight against some Apocalypses, but a variable like them wouldn’t be able to change this entire situation”

Gu Qing Shan’s voice seemed even more calm as he replied: “You’re right, but there would be more variables the longer we can stall until nothing else would be a constant anymore, that’s when we’ll get our change.

“Other than the Awaitings, were there any other variables?” Shroud asked.

At this point, the wraith cultivators suddenly began exclaiming out of shock and fear:

“No! The 12-winged seraph had disappeared!”

“She’s gone”

“Other than her, who would be able to fend it off?”

“Hurry, is there anyone else!?”

——Lin had been transported away!

Gu Qing Shan was silently observing this when a female voice sounded in his mind:

“Gongzi, she has arrived”

Another female voice followed up: “This place isn’t very convenient for discussions, so she is waiting for you at the hot spring from before”

“I see”

Gu Qing Shan’s figure faded away among the wraith cultivators, as he silently retreated.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he quickly arrived at the hot spring they were in before.

Only to see a girl in black clothing standing among the drifting fog with a graceful smile on her face, looking straight at him.

“Li An, long time no see” Gu Qing Shan called out.

『 Indeed, it has been a very long time. I haven’t heard of any demons or devils coming to your Heaven’s Tribulation either 』Li An greeted him.

“I had to face my Tribulations in the era of the past, so of course those old friends of ours wouldn’t have been able to find me” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

『 Is that so? 』Li An lowered her gaze a bit: 『 Other than thinking of me, did you want to tell me something else when you called me? 』

“Ah?” Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.

Seeing his expression, Li An was also surprised.

—–the situation is somehow different from what I had thought.

Both of them thought of the same thing.

Inside Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea, Shannu was about to speak up, but she was stopped by Luo Bing Li.

“Don’t, the two of us would be scolded, and the situation would only become more chaotic” Luo Bing Li told her.

Shannu replied: “But gongzi seems to be very confused, shouldn’t we tell——-”

“Shh, just keep watching. In case that nothing serious happens, you and I would have gotten away without issues” Luo Bing Li replied.

Shannu still insisted: “But——”

Luo Bing Li cut her off and raised her voice: “Do you want Gu Qing Shan to think of you and I as a pair of nosy women?”

Shannu immediately shut up.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered briefly as his thoughts continuously churned in his mind.

—–that’s true.

—–speaking of which, I only thought of Li An during this occasion because I saw the Tianma seal.

I wonder if she had found any clues regarding that.

With this abrupt jump in his train of thought, Gu Qing Shan’s attitude became a lot more natural.

He smiled: “You’re right, when I saw the existence of the Tianma in that seal, I immediately thought of you—— I felt that it might have been beneficial for you”

Li An was already starting to get suspicious, but when she heard Gu Qing Shan and thought of her harvest this time, she also smiled.

She lightly curtsied to him: 『 Thank you for that, this place was indeed the sanctuary of our Tianma race that we’ve been searching for countless years 』

“That’s great to hear—– yes, I have something urgent business here that I wonder if you’d be able to help me with” Gu Qing Shan told her.

『 What urgent business? 』 Li An asked.

“There’s no time to explain in detail——- in short, there was an Apocalyptic Divine Weapon that had taken over its wielder. I know that the Tianma race are experts with the soul, and you have a technique specifically created to seal that Divine Weapon, so you must surely be able to somehow allow that wielder to regain his senses” Gu Qing Shan said.

Li An stood motionlessly and leisurely replied: 『 I’ve used a Time Recollection technique to observe the stone pedestal in that place, so I know of everything that happened down there. However, I have something to ask you, Gu Qing Shan, why do you care about this so much? Can’t you just let the entire Boundless Void be destroyed?”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised, then smiled wryly: “I’m also part of ‘all living beings’, so I don’t want to die”

——Li An’s attitude is a bit strange.

The Tianma were originally inhabitants of the Wraith realm, a part of the past Samsara that was once destroyed by the Apocalypse.

So now that the Apocalypse had gotten so close to destroying everything again, why is Li An so cold about it?

The girl only giggled briefly and softly told him: 『 Gu Qing Shan, I’ve told you long before. Even if you died, I would be able to help you reincarnate into the Tianma realm, just follow me from now on, I would definitely not mistreat you 』

Gu Qing Shan replied: “The Apocalypse wants to destroy all worlds within the Reality Gate, so of course they wouldn’t let the Tianma realm go”

The girl laughed: 『 We Tianma are able to convert into an intangible, invisible form, we’re more than capable of escaping from the Reality Gate, so why must we stay here to stop the Apocalypse? 』

Gu Qing Shan became even more solemn and told her in a low voice: “If you and I cooperate to stop the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon, the countless living beings of the Boundless Void would be able to survive, they would continue to supply the Tianma with food, wouldn’t that be so much better?”

Li An simply looked at him without saying anything.

Gu Qing Shan looked straight back at her and showed an expression of sincerity: “Li An, please tell me the truth, why aren’t you willing to help me fight the Apocalypse?”

Li An remained silent for a brief moment before taking out a rock and showed it to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan looked at it and saw that the rock was carved full of Li An’s name.

——what is this?

He opened his mouth and asked: “What is this—–”

Seeing their lie about to be exposed, Luo Bing Li and Shannu were both unable to help themselves calling out at the same time: “That was something you gave her!”

“Don’t say unnecessary things!” Luo Bing Li added.

Gu Qing Shan had countless thoughts circling through his head and continued: “—–doing in your hands?”

Li An gently patted the rock and said: 『 Your sword spirits gave it to me, didn’t you know? 』

Inside Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea, both girls covered their faces with their hands.

“It’s over” Shannu dejectedly muttered.

Gu Qing Shan naturally saw their reactions.

He was extremely confused, but didn’t show it at all on his face and simply replied: “I only told them to show it to you, how come they handed it over as well?”

Li An changed the subject and asked: 『 How often do you carve me name? 』

Gu Qing Shan froze.

Luo Bing Li clenched her teeth and sent her voice: “Gu Qing Shan, tell her that it’s every day”

Gu Qing Shan answered right away: “Every day”

—–what exactly is going on here?

Was there some sort of hidden meaning?

Perhaps this is some sort of unique power of the Tianma? Or a promise? Or a ceremony?

—–regardless, Shannu and Luo Bing Li would not harm me.

So there’s no problem.

All I have to do is to answer as Luo Bing Li told me to!

Gu Qing Shan looked straight at Li An.

『 Every day? 』Li An asked.

“Tell her yes” Luo Bing Li sent her voice.

“Yes” Gu Qing Shan solemnly nodded.

Li An looked straight at him.

He also looked straight at her.

Finally, Li An was unable to face his gaze and silently turned away.

But her snow-white complexion had slowly gained a slight calomel hue.

『 Alright, Gu Qing Shan... I will tell you a secret 』

Li An continued in a low voice: 『 If the Apocalypse fails this time, then the Samsara would have a chance to reconstruct itself 』

『 And the era of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy would begin 』

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “Isn’t that a good thing?”

Li An shook her head with eyes full of hatred and answered:

『 You’re wrong. What we Tianma hated the most were the living beings of the Samsara 』
