“One day? That’s not a lot of time” Gu Qing Shan commented.

As he glanced at the girl, he found that she was absolutely calm.

So he tried asking: “What’s your plan for running away? Tell me and we can consider it together”

“Plan?” the girl was slightly surprised and answered him: “My plan is already over”

“What do you mean?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Do you still remember what you told me?” the girl said.

“What I told you?” now it was Gu Qing Shan’s turn to be surprised.

The girl casually said: “Yeah, from now on, my accommodations will be taken care of by you, which means—— I’ll be relying on you to run away”

“…” Gu Qing Shan.

That’s true.

The conditions she put out for helping me was that I had to take care of her accommodations.

And I did accept those conditions.

Wait a minute——–

What did she actually help me with?

Gu Qing Shan regained his thoughts and asked: “I know I turned into an Envoy of Condemnation, but how is that going to save my comrades?”

The girl explained: “You need to quickly advance through the levels, and I also need to regain my power”

“And then what?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The girl continued: “After we’re powerful enough, we will go in search of a certain card—— it’s currently residing in another deck, it is one of the things that the seven Daemons set up for their own protection”

“That card is able to heal even Divinities, so naturally it will be able to heal your comrades”

“Can’t we go look for it now?”

“With our current strength, we won’t even be able to detect it, let alone use it. Worst case scenario, we might even die”

“… Alright then… First get stronger, seems like this will be the first step no matter what I want to do” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

At this point, the girl looked at him and muttered: “I still don’t know your name”

“My name is Gu Qing Shan, the same one I used when we registered” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Hearing that, the girl smiled and spoke: “Hm, my name is Dusk, since you’re the only other one of my kind, you can call me Little Dusk”

The girl called Little Dusk stretched her back and said: “I’ve been working for an entire night to convert you so I need some rest for now. I’ll leave the escaping part to you”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the desert, then at Little Dusk, and couldn’t help but asked: “You’re going to sleep here?”

“No, you’ll be taking me with you” Little Dusk answered.

She suddenly turned into a lapis-colored card that fluttered in front of Gu Qing Shan before falling into his hands.

“Put me away to safety, if you need something, call me” Little Dusk told him from inside the card.

Gu Qing Shan held the card up and looked at the description written on the War God UI.

[Lapis Card: Angel of Condemnation – Dusk]

[Grade: Lapis 5 stars]

[Partner: Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan]

[Resident deck: Fugitive Deck]

[Description: Due to losing most of her power, Angel of Condemnation – Dusk’s grade has been lowered to Lapis]

“Little Dusk, do you have any plans or thoughts about how we should escape?” Gu Qing Shan tried to ask.

Little Dusk waved her hands inside the card and simply explained: “From back then until now, I only know how to fight. And after being sealed for such a long time, I had to scatter the majority of my powers to escape, now I don’t have much power and am not familiar with the world, so it will all depend on you!”

Gu Qing Shan: “…”

Fine,?he silently consoled himself———?she has helped enough, she even spent the effort to convert me into an Envoy of Condemnation. It’s now time for me to do something.

He then recalled something and spoke: “If this world is about to be destroyed, we have to bring the Divine Power Frost Crystal that contains my comrade away as well”

“Ah, why didn’t you say that before, I was already falling asleep” Little Dusk unwillingly complained.

She turned back into her real form, crouched in front of the ice crystal, and placed her hand on it.

“Minimize!” she uttered.

The blue ice crystal was then turned into a card.

Little Dusk gave the card to Gu Qing Shan and complained: “Aaaa, I’m so tired, I want to sleep, don’t wake me up!”

She turned back into a card and flew into Gu Qing Shan’s hands.

On the card, she had already changed into her pajamas and directly laid herself on a huge bed, soundly sleeping.

——-seems like she was really tired.

Gu Qing Shan only took a short look at her before checking the ice crystal card.

—–the description was quite simple, it only informed him that this was an empty card that temporarily held an item inside.

Looking at the two cards, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh.

What happened today was simply too out of this world, so much that he felt like it was all a dream.

I suddenly became an Envoy of Condemnation.

Come to think of it, if I didn’t have the Blood Sea card with me, I wouldn’t have even caught Little Dusk’s attention.

During the job, both sides got to know each other better.

And most importantly—-

During the final moments, I decided to save her, even helped her escape from the black-clothed man’s pursuit.

It was because Little Dusk saw everything that she became less aloof compared to before.

And also because Little Dusk noticed that my soul was already released from the way I fought, that she had the idea to turn me into an Envoy of Condemnation.

So now, in this entire universe, there are only a total of two Envoy of Condemnation: Little Dusk and me.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Little Dusk’s card.

Having gotten a partner and the promise to be taken care of, she directly went to sleep without worry.

Seriously…

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

As the Angel of Condemnation, she was once so powerful that Divinities were afraid of her, but through their interactions, Gu Qing Shan felt that she was still a very na?ve girl.

Perhaps all those years ago, besides how to fight, the Divinities never taught her anything else.

Or they were probably unwilling to.

This means, from the day she was born, she had been treated as a weapon and tool to be used, then finally sealed away, what a tragic life she had.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Alright, I’ve already made her a promise, so I’ll keep to it.

He took out a box made of top-quality spirit jade and put the cards inside.

As soon as Little Dusk went into the box, she was able to sense the excess spirit energy flowing around inside.

She tossed and turned satisfyingly inside her card, muttered random things in her sleep before quickly falling into deep slumber.

Gu Qing Shan carefully put the box away.

Now, there should be about a day left until this world is completely destroyed.

An eerie creature born from the Eternal Law is about to appear.

I’ll definitely be devoured if I stay here.

But if I want to leave Drifting Sand world as fast as possible and travel safely through the space vortex, I need a decent-quality flying transit.

But I don’t have any money!

Not even the bare minimum required to enter the black market!

What should I do now?

I can travel through the space vortex by myself as well.

But unlike the outside world, the Strife Zones’ space vortex is full of dangerous monsters.

And I don’t even know the direction to another world.

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

There’s only one day…

There really is too little time…

———–

White Rock world.

This was the world closest to Drifting Sand world.

A loud laughter of joy was coming from a certain large building.

“Ahahaha, the bounty that the Holy Church of Death put up is simply to kill a novice in Drifting Sand world!”

A towering and muscular grey giant laughed.

One of his subordinates flattered him: “Boss, we have the absolute advantage, we only need to travel half a day to arrive at Drifting Sand world”

“That’s right Boss, this bounty is really generous, not only will we get quite a few #600 coins, we can directly summon a person from the Holy Church of Death”

“Yeah, the Church will allow us to enter the Holy Church of Death, the cardinal will do everything in their power to teach and help us light our Tree of Divinity as well!” another subordinate called out.

Hearing that, everyone in the group smiled.

The grey giant once again laughed without holding anything back, while the others around him were holding their expressions of laughter, not even one of them dared to scowl.

“Ahahahaha, this is the heaven above shining light on our Torturous Death bounty hunter squad! All of us are followers of Death!”

The grey giant ripped the wanted poster off the wall and loudly declared: “Everyone, move out, we’re going to Drifting Sand world to kill that brat!”

“And then—— we’re heading to the Holy Church of Death!”

“We’re all going to become Gods!”
