Chapter 474: I’ll pay you later
While Gu Qing Shan stared at what was happening on the other side of the gate of light, none of the people on the other side noticed him at all.
The woman had used some sort of unknown spell to directly display the scene of what was happening in the Middle Layer across several trillion worlds.
This had gone far above and beyond what Gu Qing Shan originally imagined as powerful.
On the other side of the gate, the uniform soldiers were still methodically killing the Rakshasas they took as prisoners.
A few soldiers were using Blades to behead them.
Some others were using firearms, one shot each through the head.
The efficiency was very low, as their firearms were primitive muskets that only had one shot per load, plus both the reloading of the bullets and gunpowder were done manually, extremely inconvenient.
Following their superior’s order, a few men quickly got out of line.
They reloaded their muskets and aimed at the gate of light.
Gu Qing Shan noticed how primitive the designs of their firearms were.
——–they were the most basic kind of musket that only allowed one bullet.
One of the riflemen asked: “Sir, how will we deal with them, kill on the spot?”
The superior answered: “No, try to hold back, I want to capture them alive”
Another rifleman replied: “Alive sir? It’s very hard for the indigenous people of this world to survive our gun fire”
The superior patiently explained: “We need to at least know what’s going on with this space gate——– this was supposed to be the harshest period of the war between them and us, the Rakshasa shouldn’t have any spare personnel to send outside”
It’s true that this was strange, they have to find out the reason.
“Understood” the riflemen answered him.
They cocked their muskets, ready to fire on sight.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the enemies on the other side of the gate of light.
He was completely shocked.
I completely didn’t expect the white fox’s organization to be destroyed just like that.
The white fox was someone who surpassed Cryptic realm, the strongest person Gu Qing Shan had ever seen.
Yet the white fox was easily eaten by the female face without being able to resist.
The organization it belonged to was destroyed by military soldiers using primitive firearms.
Gu Qing Shan’s common sense was overturned once more.
“Trillions worlds, 900 million World Layers…”
Gu Qing Shan mumbled and sighed.
He just realized something.
From now on, he can’t judge anything at face value with a close-minded thought process.
Such a thing like common sense didn’t need to exist when dealing with countless different civilizations and worlds.
Now that the white fox’s world was destroyed by an organization using primitive guns…
——-what’s the point of me trying so hard during the test just now!?
I should’ve just gone back to Shen Wu world!
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
“You’ll help me deliver an item, and I help you escape from a dangerous situation that could result in death” the female face’s voice came: “What do you think about this exchange of mutual benefit?”
“I’m very happy with it, thank you very much” Gu Qing Shan sincerely answered.
“Since it’s an exchange, there’s no need to thank me”
The female face spoke.
“My vengeance is done, and my last will has been accomplished, from now on, I’ll become a real demon” she appeared sorrowful.
“Demons and living beings are natural enemies, so I will destroy countless more worlds from now on”
As Gu Qing Shan carefully listened to her, he asked: “I can feel that your mind isn’t under any manipulation or influence. If that’s the case, why does it matter whether you’re human or demon?”
The female face looked at him in surprise, not saying anything.
It seems she was trying to judge his true attitude towards this.
Who knew, a young man who came from a Scattered world would be able to say such words.
After a while, the female face spoke: “Tian Shan Ye had pushed me onto a path of no return, and so I won’t be able to”
She started to reminiscent.
“At the time, it was for his protection that I refused to tell him anything”
“For his protection?”
“Correct, he had the same common disease that everyone on this world had”
“What common disease?”
“Ambition that exceeded their strength, as well as cruelty towards any world that wasn’t their own”
“These two things will have surely led him to destruction within the countless worlds”
“Originally, I wanted to slowly teach him this fact after our child was born…”
She was sorrowful.
“Let bygones be bygone” Gu Qing Shan consoled her, “the people nurtured by this world’s civilization are more or less the same way, why bother yourself thinking about such a thing”
The female face returned to normal and spoke in a low voice: “That is true, everything that happened here is already the past. And none of those who plotted to ambush me managed to escape”
She looked back at Gu Qing Shan and slowly opened her mouth.
A bunch of scrolls flew out, hovering above Gu Qing Shan.
“These scrolls contain my abilities from back then”
“They will bring you to someone who was my benefactor”
“Bring a flower to that person, this is my last wish as a human, as well as your part of our deal” the female face said.
“No problem” Gu Qing Shan answered.
And then, he tried asking: “Before that, I want to know, how many World Layers will I have to pass through and how much time will it take for me to get to where that person is?”
“Pass through how many World Layers?” the woman was surprised.
She stopped for a bit, then realized something.
As if she had just heard something very funny, she broke out into laughter.
“Ahahaha, do you really think that you’ll have to pass through an entire World Layer before going to the next?”
“Isn’t that the case?”
“The entire Outer Plane is composed of at least 900 million World Layers, every World Layer has over a trillion worlds in it, never mind you, even I can’t go through all the World Layers!”
“Could it be… the white fox selectively lied to me?” Gu Qing Shan was confused.
“He didn’t lie to you, but he’s merely a bumpkin of the Middle Layer, how much would he actually know” the woman scoffed.
“Then…” Gu Qing Shan wanted to ask more.
But the female face cut him off and spoke directly: “Complete my last wish for me, then take a look yourself”
“A look at what?”
“The truth of the world”
One of the scrolls hovering above Gu Qing Shan suddenly unwinded by itself.
A blinding light enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
Out of nowhere, a transparent, glittering flower was in his hand.
The female face stared at the flower in his hand with a gentle look.
“Take this flower to Badleg Barry, I hope that he’s still well”
The female face’s tone was gentle.
She killed every last cultivator of the Suspended world, but her tone right now contained a sense of tranquility and shyness that used to be.
As if, she had returned to the past, to the time when she was still just a young girl.
“I will definitely take this to him and give him your blessings”
Gu Qing Shan carefully put the transparent flower away as he solemnly declared.
Since she had helped me greatly, returning her a simple favor was only fair.
Seeing his attitude, the female face nodded.
The light that enveloped Gu Qing Shan suddenly expanded.
In the next moment, Gu Qing Shan had disappeared from this area of the space vortex.
The female face silently looked at this.
It was until Gu Qing Shan had completely disappeared that she silently descended.
She landed on the realm demon.
“Mo…ther…”
The realm demon let out a long cry.
The female face appeared warm.
“Hungry?”
“So hungry…”
“It’s done, let mommy take you to the next world, you’ll be able to keep eating until you’re full”
“Sounds… nice… hehe”
The realm demon’s voice seemed a bit joyful.
…
A soft but durable force was propelling Gu Qing Shan quickly forward.
He was going through the space vortex at completely immeasurable speed.
Every once in a while, he would have an abrupt feeling of breaking through a thin sheet of glass.
Perhaps that’s what passing through a World Layer feels like?
Gu Qing Shan was silently contemplating.
The long distance he travelled so far had already surpassed the distance it would take for him to get to where the 100,000 year-old giant corpse was.
“What… completely unimaginable power”
He muttered.
Countless sceneries were zipping through his sight for just an instant.
Numerous kinds of creatures and living beings showed up within the space vortex.
A group of glowing humanoid creatures were using bows and arrows to shoot at an faraway empty place
There was absolutely nothing at the faraway empty place, but agonizing screams could still be heard coming from it.
When he passed through this place, Gu Qing Shan saw a bunch of fresh flowers that sprouted legs.
They were happily dancing around a large skull.
From the looks of it, it was some sort of ritual.
The scene passed.
At a certain point, Gu Qing Shan collided with something soft and was pushed backwards.
“Aaaaaeeeek!!!!”
A high-pitched female voice came, cursing.
“Pervert! Lecher!”
The force that enveloped Gu Qing Shan took a detour and quickly left that place.
From then on, Gu Qing Shan was flying faster and faster.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but shake his head.
Trillion worlds, trillion civilization, who knows what exactly I crashed into just now?
He kept flying forward.
At one point, he even saw the Tianma Empress who he cooperated with.
She was a stunning beauty dressed in black.
The girl was surrounded by countless Tianma enchantresses.
They were harmonizing their voices, singing as they flew towards a space emitting a glorious golden light.
While the black-dressed girl was singing, she sensed something.
She looked up at the space above her.
Her gaze met with Gu Qing Shan’s.
“It’s you!”
The black-dressed girl exclaimed.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t even have time to say hello.
Leaving only a brief afterimage, he had already broken through that part of space as he headed somewhere further.
Before the black-dressed girl could even speed up, he had already left.
So fast!
When he’s going that fast, even if I fly with all my might and use secret techniques, I wouldn’t be able to catch up.
He must be using something extraordinary.
The black-dressed girl was shocked.
“You still owe me a world!” she abruptly yelled out.
Faraway, a voice was heard replying: “I’ll pay you later”
