Chapter 763: Missed Again
Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9
The sun, the moon, and the stars were all gone.
The Golden Flame Divinity emerged from underneath the ocean, standing on top of the water surface and looked up at the sky.
「 Purple Fog…」
He muttered with an unprecedented unease in his voice.
The Purple Fog would soon infiltrate every corner of the Primordial Heaven Realm and change it into an environment suitable for Desolate monsters to thrive.
Indeed, once the Purple Fog fully enveloped the Primordial Heaven Realm, the entire Desolate monsters population would descend.
The Desolate world wasn’t actually a real world, it was only a cage for the Desolate monsters, a place they were given to make it convenient for them to watch over that broken gate.
The Golden Flame Divinity sighed.
It had been a few days since he returned to this world and continued to search for Gu Qing Shan.
During these few days, no matter what the Divinities from the past tried, they couldn’t find where Gu Qing Shan was at all.
Even the Golden Flame Divinity was doing everything he could.
But just like the rest, he couldn’t find where Gu Qing Shan was.
The Golden Flame Divinity suspected that Gu Qing Shan had already been devoured.
When he told the figure of light his suspicion, the figure of light immediately went to find the Desolate race of this phantom image.
That was yesterday, and the figure of light still hasn’t returned even though it was already the evening of today.
The Golden Flame Divinity once again dived into the ocean and continued his search.
He still hasn’t given up and was still doing everything he could to search for Gu Qing Shan’s whereabouts.
A long while later.
The Golden Flame Divinity resurfaced.
There weren’t any special places that could be used to conceal oneself under the ocean.
At this point, the figure of light appeared.
「 How is it? What did the Desolate race say? 」
The Golden Flame Divinity immediately asked.
「 They only care about eating humans, they just chased me out without answering anything 」 the figure of light curtly replied.
「 That bunch of conceited fools…」the Golden Flame Divinity gritted his teeth.
「 It does not matter, their own Apocalypse is coming soon, there is no need to be angry 」the figure of light replied.
「 I’m not angry, I’m annoyed because we don’t know if Gu Qing Shan was eaten by them or if he is still alive 」the Golden Flame Divinity replied.
「 That is indeed true, quite troublesome 」the figure of light said.
The Golden Flame Divinity thought briefly and asked: 「 In the end, since this is nothing but a phantom image, how about we capture a Desolate General and find out about Gu Qing Shan from it? 」
「 What do you want to do? 」the figure of light asked.
The Golden Flame Divinity replied: 「 The Desolate race’s fate is already sealed, we’ll just capture one of them before they all die and search its memories to see if we can find Gu Qing Shan 」
The figure of light went silent briefly before answering: 「 That is indeed possible, but we must be discreet. Otherwise, even if Gu Qing Shan remains inside this phantom image, both you and I will face the unrelenting pursuit of the Desolate race, unable to do anything about him 」
「 I know, we need to discuss this in detail to make sure that there are no loose ends 」the Golden Flame Divinity replied.
…
Two days later.
A huge humanoid monster was floating in the water, slowly sinking up and down.
This was the corpse of a Desolate General.
On the surface of the water, several figures shrouded in light were silently hovering.
Their plan was very successful.
9 Divinities acted at the same time, suddenly ambushing and capturing this stray Desolate General.
As their interrogation was over, the answer the Divinities obtained caused them to feel even more depressed.
The Desolate race has never seen Gu Qing Shan.
The Divinities all fell into thought.
The figure of light spoke: 「 Humans cannot possibly achieve this, they couldn’t escape from both us and the Desolate race. So if Gu Qing Shan is still within this phantom image, he would definitely not be able to escape our search 」
The Golden Flame Divinity suddenly said: 「 What if he isn’t in the Heaven Realm? 」
「 Impossible. The worlds we created are under our absolute control, we have not allowed any living being to enter them 」the figure of light refuted.
The Golden Flame Divinity replied: 「 That’s not what I’m talking about. What I mean is, besides the Primordial Heaven Realm, didn’t the Primordial Wraith Realm still exist? 」
The Primordial Wraith Realm!
The other Divinities were shocked.
Indeed, it was very possible that the human cultivator came to the Primordial Wraith Realm.
This was the most plausible explanation for the current situation.
The figure of light went silent briefly and spoke: 「 The Primordial Wraith Realm was broken into several thousand fragments by the combined power of the Desolate race and us. It would take quite a bit of time to search for him 」
「 As long as we can find him, spending a little bit of time is nothing 」the Golden Flame Divinity said: 「 First we should find out if anything worthy of noticing had happened in the Wraith Realm recently …」
「 That is simple, it is quite easy to buy off those evil creatures 」
The figure of light took out a rose-colored gem and held it in his hand.
He chanted a long incantation.
A few moments later.
A canine fiend about the size of a fist appeared from the void of space.
The canine fiend landed on top of the rose-colored gem and carefully observed it.
『 This Originite Gem is quite decent, I will accept it, ask me anything you want to know 』the canine fiend told them.
「 Has anything worthy of note happened recently? 」the figure of light asked.
『 Worthy of note? There are new realm-scale wars erupting and news of secret and hidden treasures appearing every day, you need to be more specific 』the canine fiend replied.
「 During the last few days, has anything strange happened in the Wraith realm? Something unheard of before, something that shocks all the fiends and devils? 」the Golden Flame Divinity asked.
The canine fiend answered without thinking: 『 Ah, something like that actually did happen 』
「 Tell us 」
The canine fiend cleared its throat and spoke: 『 A certain Fiend King fused 11 evil realms together in the span of a few days. Very strangely, that Fiend King never declared war or anything like that, but he still managed to obtain those worlds’ Origin 』
『 Even stranger than that, none of the Fiend Kings or Devil Kings tried to take revenge on him at all, they just silently accepted this 』
『 Also, I heard about 3 Heaven’s Tribulations happening consecutively in a place called the Xie Qi Fiend Realm 』
『 Do you know what Heaven’s Tribulation is? It was supposed to be something that only human cultivators would have to face, and no one besides the Fiend Kings and Devil Kings knows why Heaven’s Tribulation descended on an evil realm, let alone 3 of them 』
『 I tried to find out more information by staying close to a Fiend King while he was drunk 』
『 But that Fiend King only muttered over and over that ‘he isn’t human, he isn’t human’, so I didn’t find out anything else 』
The Divinities patiently listened.
「 That’s him 」 the Golden Flame Divinity spoke in a low voice.
The figure of light immediately demanded: 「 We want the incantation to travel to the Xie Qi Fiend Realm 」
The canine fiend trembled slightly but still told them.
The figure of light, the Golden Flame Divinity as well as all of the other Divinities there all chanted the incantation.
A few moments later, they disappeared from the Primordial Heaven Realm.
The only one left there was the canine fiend. When it saw the floating Desolate monster corpse in the ocean, it gradually realized something.
It clicked its tongue: 『 Damn it, I just came here to sell some information, but seems like this is a lot more trouble than it seems 』
『 No, I have to get away from here right now 』
It hugged the Originite Gem and disappeared into the void of space.
…
The Xie Qi Fiend Realm.
A luxurious, newly-built palace.
This was where the Xie Qi Fiend King lived.
But Gu Qing Shan currently wasn’t in the palace.
Several hundred miles away from the palace, in a certain open market, there was a famous bar for both fiends and devils.
Gu Qing Shan was sitting by the window, enjoying some good liquor of the evil realms.
Suddenly, he sensed something.
Putting the bottle back down, Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag without hesitation and took out a jade box.
He opened the jade box, took out the jade disks inside and kept it in his hand.
As soon as he was done, Gu Qing Shan came out of the bar and looked up at the sky.
9 glorious and solemn clusters of light were gradually descending from high above.
Divinities!
The Divinities have arrived at this fiend realm!
Sensing the Divinities’ unique aura, the entire Fiend Realm was immediately plunged into rage and chaos.
A furious roar came from inside the Fiend King’s palace.
『 Damned Divinities, why have you come to my Fiend realm! 』
A Fiend King wearing full-body armor brought several dozen powerful fiends and devils and flew to the sky.
If there were no Desolate monsters that came, this Fiend King wasn’t at all afraid of a few Divinities!
In the sky, the solemn voice of Divinity came in reply.
「 Fiend King, do not try to offend a Divinity, or you will pay for your insolence 」
While he was talking, that Divinity had already attacked first.
He’s quite the cheating fellow.
Gu Qing Shan was hiding among the group of evil creatures, silently observing the battle in the sky.
The Heaven’s Tribulation has revealed what he really was.
After breaking through three realms in a row and fusing almost a dozen worlds, his identity was crystal clear.
But Gu Qing Shan didn’t choose to wage war against the Fiend Kings and Devil Kings of the other worlds.
He casually offered the world after its fusion to a, particularly powerful Fiend King.
Currently, that Fiend King was the ruler of this realm.
With the great merits he earned from offering the Fiend Realm, he continued to stay here.
He transformed into an unassuming evil creature and easily slipped away from the watchful gazes of the other fiends and devils.
And now, Gu Qing Shan was glancing at the Divinities in the sky with a somber expression.
The figure of light was leading the other 8 Divinities to attack the Fiend King.
The only one who didn’t participate in the battle was a Divinity with a golden flame burning between his eyebrows.
He released a ray of light towards the ground, apparently searching for something.
Gu Qing Shan focused on him and carefully sensed his power.
…too strong.
Even when I’ve reached Void Beholder realm, I’m still quite a bit weaker than him.
Gu Qing Shan regretfully shook his head.
I need to become stronger, enough to surpass even Xie Gu Hong before I can hope to defeat him.
…I need… more time.
Gu Qing Shan pulled his gaze back.
Taking the chance when the other fiends and devils came out of the bar to watch, Gu Qing Shan returned inside the bar and casually grabbed a bottle of liquor.
He sat down in a secluded corner and casually arranged a temporary concealment formation with a wave of his hand.
Taking a sip of liquor, Gu Qing Shan waved his hand over the jade disks.
The seal he placed on them was immediately dispelled.
Right away, the jade disk detected the spirit energy waves that have far surpassed the necessary requirements coming from Gu Qing Shan’s body.
An invisible shockwave came from the jade disk, silently enveloped Gu Qing Shan, and took him away from this Fiend Realm.
No, not just from this Fiend Realm.
Under the jade disk’s guidance, he left this phantom image completely and headed for the next secret phantom image of humanity.
All of this happened inside a bar several hundred miles away from the fiend palace.
Not a single Divinity noticed this.
