Chapter 403: Dreamscape: Great Ghost General

Gu Qing Shan placed his hand on the card.

The black-robed man tapped the counter of the bar and explained: “This place is mine and yours shared dream, but you’re about to enter another person’s dream”

“What do I need to do?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Once you go in, you’ll take the original’s place, you have to use their identity to find entry into the next dream”

“There are other dreams?”

“Of course, if you have no way to enter the next dream from this one, then you’ll be disqualified”

“Are there any hints?”

“This was hell’s greatest failure, show me how you’ll deal with it”

As soon as he said so, a light came from the card and enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

The scene in front of his eyes changed.

The bar is gone.

The sky and clouds came into view.

A deep red flag was fluttering in the wind.

Gu Qing Shan found himself standing on top of a mountain.

As he shifted his gaze forward, he saw the mountain extending further and further without end.

At the end of his vision was a city glowing in glorious light.

The stars, moon and sun all revolved around it.

As Gu Qing Shan saw the city, some information appeared in his mind.

Heaven realm, Saint City.

He looked down at himself.

A black armor that represents hell, although it’s heavy, the armor was also releasing waves of noticeable power.

He tried moving his arm.

The power flowed from the gauntlet into his body, increasing his strength several times over.

Gu Qing Shan has never seen or heard of such a powerful armor before.

Then another memory appeared in his mind.

Because of his prowess and contributions in war, the Devil King had bestowed this armor upon him.

It was a precious item even for the Devil King, one that he had never given to anyone else.

This was the only armor of its kind in hell.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the weapon in his hand, it was a jet black Blade.

Some words were inscribed at the hilt.

“General, Great Ghost”

Ah, so I’m the 1st ranked Ghost General.

Gu Qing Shan tried swinging the blade.

It was quite basic, nothing special.

However, as he swung the blade, the memories of this Ghost General began to flow into his mind.

Sensing something was off, Gu Qing Shan tried checking his personal items.

Everything was gone.

All he has are what this general had, the Earth sword, Chao Yin sword, the 7-colored fragrance bag, his Inventory Bag, even the things he had stored in his Thought Sea were gone.

Where’s the Six Paths Great Mountain sword?

—oong!

Following his thought, the autumn-water blue blade appeared hovering in front of him.

Gu Qing Shan threw down the blade and held the Six Paths Great Mountain sword instead.

Gu Qing Shan felt much calmer now that he has a sword in hand.

It’s quite strange, everything else I have are gone but this sword is still here.

While he was thinking, a blue-dress girl appeared from the sword.

Shannu.

“Do you know why all my things are gone?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“This dreamscape was created from a few extremely powerful Laws, they only guided your consciousness into this body, but your soul is still at that drinking place from before” Shannu answered.

“If all I have left is my consciousness, then how are you here?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Since I’m the manifestation of the Law that shields everything against the winds of chaotic tribulation, all other Laws avoid me because they don’t want to interfere” Shannu slowly explained.

As she said that, lines of glowing text scroll past the War God UI.

[You now know the second spirit Thaumaturgy of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword: Law Breaker]

[Law Breaker: No matter the world, all Laws are unable to affect this sword]

At this point, the sound of billowing horns came from the ground below.

Gu Qing Shan looked around.

Black-armored troops all over the mountain broke out in thunderous cheers.

A realization appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

The world of Huang Quan had defeated the allied armies of the Heaven realm, Asura realm, Demon realm and Beast King realm, they have now marched to the central area of the Heaven realm.

The Devil King had also left hell to come to the Heaven realm in order to meet the Divinities.

———all Divinities have surrendered.

Gu Qing Shan looked at his kin around himself.

All the dead were smiling.

After such long battles, they’re finally about to be greeted with victory.

Gu Qing Shan felt it was strange.

“Shannu, didn’t the Devil King lose in the Age of Old?”

“He did, I don’t know what’s going on here either”

“Did you not participate in the battle?”

“At the time, none of the dead who uses swords managed to satisfy my requirements, I didn’t want to become their weapon so I didn’t participate at all”

“So that’s why”

Aside from being a bit surprised, Gu Qing Shan didn’t ask any further.

Because this was completely normal to both Gu Qing Shan and Shannu.

A sword cultivator picks a suitable sword for themselves.

A Divine sword with a spirit would also select its own master.

The relationship between sword and sword cultivator is unlike anything else.

They have the same will and seek to find the same Dao.

At this point, a long yell cut off Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts.

“——-reporttttttt!”

A Hellspawn came running and knelt down, reporting in a loud voice: “Great Ghost General sir! The rite to accept surrender is about to begin, the other two generals have also came. Please come to accept their surrender”

“Wait a minute” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“But they’re all here already”

“I said let them wait!”

Gu Qing Shan stood still and began to observe his troops.

Every dead more or less carried a faint killing intent on their bodies.

Seeing the Ghost General observing them, all the dead troops instinctively straightened their backs and held onto their weapons tight, waiting for their orders.

The dead soldiers of this Ghost General filled this entire mountain.

But aside from the sound of wind, not a single noise could be heard on the whole mountain.

Very well-disciplined and battle-ready troops.

“Not bad…” Gu Qing Shan silently praised.

He glanced over at the opposite side of the mountain, where large numbers of Beast King and Demon troops were gathered.

“What are they doing?” Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.

One of his aides answered: “They’ve surrendered”

“Surrendered” Gu Qing Shan instinctively repeated.

His body moved and flew towards the opposite side of the mountain.

As the Great Ghost General moved, so did large amounts of soldiers who followed him.

When the Demon and Beast King troops noticed him bringing to many soldiers over, they all stood up.

Gu Qing Shan went in front.

As his gaze passed through the tens of thousands of demons and beasts, Gu Qing Shan noticed something was off.

The demons come from the Hungry Ghost realm, but they were completely unwounded and their weapons were held tightly in hand full of fighting spirit.

The beasts also appeared quite sharp and cautious, observing Gu Qing Shan’s every move.

“A surrendering army… that looks like this?”

A bit confused, Gu Qing Shan muttered.

“Great one, we surrender” one of the demon leaders stepped out and spoke flatteringly.

The beast king leader also spoke: “The Devil King’s might shakes even the heaven and earth, no one can go against him, what would we do except surrender? Wait to die?”

Hearing that, a scene appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

The Devil King stood with his rod in hand, releasing overwhelming might that forced even Divinities to run away.

An army is nothing but ants in the face of the Devil King, where large amounts of troops were being wiped out every second.

As the troops of the 4-realm allied army died, they were quickly being turned into soldiers of the dead.

And the dead belongs to Huang Quan, under the direct command of the Devil King.

The scale of strength quickly tilted to one side.

———halfway through the war, the 4-realm allied army was already unable to mount a resistance anymore.

By himself, the Devil King had defeated the allied army of the 4 realms!

Which led to them surrendering right now.

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

His gaze focused on the numerous demons and beasts on the mountain as well as the sharp weaponry in their hands.

“Where is his Majesty the Devil King?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Sir, did you forget? His Majesty is currently in Saint City, about to accept the allegiance of all Divinities” his aide next to him answered.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes.

The Devil King alone can win against the 4 realms.

If this war ended in a lost, where could the problem possibly be?

There’s too little information…

Gu Qing Shan suddenly opened his eyes and gave out orders.

“Men, come”

“Here sir!”

“Have a squad go around and collect all the weapons of the demon and beast king allied troops”

“But sir… they’re about to become our dependents, wouldn’t that make them…”

“Do it”

“Roger!”

All the demons and beasts on the side of the mountain became rowdy as they heard that.

“You want to take our weapons?” the demon leader asked.

Its voice seems calm without any emotions.

“That’s right, aren’t you here to surrender?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

A beast roared in fury: “Our worlds are about to merge into one, everyone will become comrades from now on, and you insult us like this!?”

“You’re looking down on us beasts!”

“That’s right, you vile Ghost General, you want to insult us—–”

The beasts and demons started to riot.

“Insolent!!”

Gu Qing Shan roared in anger.

He drew his sword and pointed it at the allied demon and beast army all over the mountain.

“Surround them!”

As Gu Qing Shan gave the order, countless weapons could be heard unsheathed.

Hell’s great army began to move.

They raised their weapons and formed a formation to slowly approach this side.

All the voices stopped.

“What do you want to do?” the demon leader asked in a low voice.

“If you’re surrendering, act like it. You dare to retaliate and I’ll report to the Devil King right now, saying that you’re only pretending to surrender to mess up our ranks and army”

Gu Qing Shan stepped forward and faced off against the demon leader.

He asked in a voice: “Or perhaps you’re unwilling to let go of your weapons because the allied army’s surrender really is nothing but a ruse?”

Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything else, another Hellspawn came reporting: “Sir, the surrender acceptance ceremony is about to begin, they’re only waiting for you sir”

“Let them wait” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

“Sir—-”

“Leave now!”

“Yes!”

The Hellspawn quickly ran away.

“I’ll say it one last time, drop your weapons” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

The demon and beast king leaders exchanged looks.

Gu Qing Shan stepped back and re-entered the dead army with his troops.

“All troops ready” he gave the orders.

“Roger!”

The dead immediately readied themselves for battle.

The army of hell bared its fangs, only waiting for the orders.

Seeing that, the demon leader’s pupils contracted.

“Stop! We’ll lower our weapons!” he yelled out.

“Right, right, everyone, put your weapons down!” the beast king leader also hurriedly shouted.

It was now that Gu Qing Shan swung his hand up to signal the dead army to halt.

“One person per squad, collect their weapons” he ordered.

A group of Hellspawns went up the mountain and quickly collected all the demon’s and beast’s weapons.

“We’ve showed our sincerity, are you happy now?” the demon leader asked.

“Very happy” Gu Qing Shan smiled.

Then he swung his sword forward.

“Go, kill them all”

Hell’s army began to move.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

All the dead soldiers attacked with their weapons in hand.

On the side of the mountain, the demon and beats army began to panic.

Some of the beasts even started to run.

—–fleeing?

Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan smiled even wider.

“Wait! Great Ghost General, we’ve already ——-” the demon leader hurriedly called out.

“Only after I kill you all and turn you into dead that I will recognize you as one of our own”

“You fiend!” the beast king leader roared angrily.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and casually answered: “This is war”
