Gu Qing Shan pulled his hand back and muttered: âHow troublesomeâ
âWhatâs the situation?â Ye Fei Li asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: âThree hours ago, he already swore his allegiance to the Previous Kingsâ
Everyone was shocked.
âIf thatâs the case, the Previous Kings donât trust you at allâ Zhang Ying Hao commented.
âIf they actually did, Iâd be a lot more surprisedâââ compared to an outsider like me, the kingdomâs guardians are naturally more trustworthyâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
âOh no, then what about Greyhound!?â Xuan Ya muttered.
Indeed, if the Previous Kings have reached out to one guardian, they would naturally reach out to the other guardian as well.
The Previous Kings wanted to make sure that the child will die in the hands of the God of Life.
The situation had turned a lot more serious.
Gu Qing Shan spoke up: âWeâre heading to the other guardian immediatelyâ
Xuan Ya pointed at the blacksmith and asked: âWhat about him?â
Gu Qing Shan took the ring from the blacksmithâs finger and replied: âTo ensure that we donât alert them, first we need to ensure that he remains unconsciousâ
âThatâs easyâ Laura said.
She took out a 2-meter-long coffin and threw the man inside.
âLegendary Artifact: [Sleeping Beautyâs Sealed Coffin]âââ after lying inside, as long as no one kisses you on the lips, you will never wake upâ Laura patted the top of the coffin and boastingly explained.
Zhang Ying Hao looked at the blacksmith and muttered: âThen I guess heâs never going to wake upâ
The group tidied everything up and quickly left.
They moved as fast as possible and soon reached a restaurant.
Laura opened her flower umbrella and vanished together with Gu Qing Shanâs group.
Just as before, Xuan Ya brought Ye Fei Li inside.
After just a few sentences, Ye Fei Li noticed that he was lying, so he gave the signal.
This guardian was knocked unconscious as well.
After using Soul Reading on him, Gu Qing Shan turned to Laura.
âWhat is it?â Laura asked.
âDo you have another of that coffin from before?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
â...It was a one-of-a-kind artifactâ Laura replied.
âThen, weâll just have to put them in togetherââ that wonât decrease the effects of the coffin, will it?â
âIt wonât...â Laura hesitantly replied.
âThatâs good thenâ
Gu Qing Shan took off this guardianâs ring and tossed him into the coffin as well.
ââ-although it was a bit cramped, as long as the two guardians were laid on their sides, they would still barely fit inside.
As Laura was about to activate the seal and close the coffin, Zhang Ying Hao suddenly spoke up: âWaitâ
âWhat is it?â Laura was confused.
âIf the two of them happen to kiss one another, wouldnât that mean both of them would wake up?â Zhang Ying Hao asked.
After considering that situation for a bit, everyone agreed that would be the case.
So Zhang Ying Hao went up and changed how the two guardians laid down, making sure that the most they could do was kiss the other personâs boot.
He then overlapped some parts of their bodies to make sure that the two of them would perfectly fit inside the coffin.
âThereââ- should be no issues nowâ Zhang Ying Hao declared in satisfaction as he carefully pulled down the lid of the coffin and sealed it tight.
âVery carefulâ Boss praised.
âWell doneâ Ye Fei Li praised.
âMeticulousâ Laura praised.
âWell-consideredâ Gu Qing Shan praised.
Xuan Ya: â...â
She suddenly recalled how she thought that these people were just a rag-tag bunch the first time she saw them.
But right at this moment, the only impression she held of them was that of a terrifying group.
Xuan Ya calmed her emotions a bit, then spoke up: âThen... now that weâve obtained all the rings, should we command all the kingdom officials, the military, as well as the civilians to go up against both the monster and the Previous Kings?â
Gu Qing Shan replied: âNo, during our secret meeting yesterday, the Previous Kings had arranged so that weâd meet up at the palace today, during the coronationâ
âAre you actually planning on cooperating with him to act during the coronation ceremony?â Xuan Ya asked.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: âNot at all, but thereâs a very simple logic hereââ- over 100 million years ago, not even the Deities managed to kill that monsterâ
âAre the few of us here, even with every Demi in this world, going to be more powerful than the Deities used to be?â
Xuan Ya froze.
Everyone also fell into thought.
Zhang Ying Hao mused: âWe would definitely not win against that monsterââ- letâs call her the God of Life for nowâ
Boss added: âNot only does she have the strength of the monster, but also the God of Lifeâs knowledge and experience, even in the infinite void, there shouldnât be many who could be her matchâ
Ye Fei Li asked: âThen, are we going to surrender?â
Gu Qing Shan turned to Laura and asked: âThat gift you gave to Lin last time, do you still have another similar item?â
âThe gift I gave Lin? You mean the mirror world?â Laura thought for a bit and answered him: âThere are, but none of them are quite as goodâ
When Laura first met Lin, she gave her a mirror world.
That world wasnât particularly large, it was only 5 million square kilometers in total, surrounded by golden beachesâââ managed by top experts of the 900 million World Layers, including 5 top-class gourmet chefs, 7 hairstylists, 15 jewel designers, 24 scientists, and 36 modern fashion designers, all of which could be summoned if the owner required anything.
âItâs ok, as long as you have themâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
âSo now, there are two issues leftââ- Boss, back in the Bramble Bird Kingdom, you once demonstrated a reverse devil summoning techniqueâ
Boss nodded.
Gu Qing Shan continued: âI want to know, does that summoning technique of yours have any limitations?â
Boss replied: âThere are. At most I can only summon ten people at onceâ
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and said: âThen, give me a reverse-summoning covenantâ
Boss nodded: âAlrightâ
A dark crimson flame appeared on his hand, which he used to quickly draw a circle in the air, followed by flaming runes.
This was the Fiend Flame and the unique ruins for the summoning circle.
âCatchâ Boss told Gu Qing Shan.
The dark crimson flame magic circle was pushed, lightly flying towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan received it with his hand.
The dark crimson flame magic circle abruptly vanished, while Bossâ Book of Prophesized Destiny automatically flipped open to a certain page.
The page naturally depicted Gu Qing Shanâs appearance.
âThereâ Boss nodded, âI can now summon you to where I am at any timeâ
Gu Qing Shan finally turned to Xuan Ya: âThen what about you? I remember you said your Divine Skill was [Fearless Transmission], right?â
âYes, at the time, it was because of this Divine Skill that the king made me receive you in the secret passageâ Xuan Ya replied.
Gu Qing Shan continued: âI remember you telling me that your Divine Skill will allow you to warp to any location you wishedâ
âYesâ Xuan Ya confirmed.
âAre there any limitations?â Gu Qing Shan pursued.
âThereâs also a limit of 10 people, and the place of transport would be the location where I focus my mindâ Xuan Ya replied.
âGood, then we can begin our battle right nowâ
Gu Qing Shan clapped his hand and circulated the spirit energy around his body.
Laura hurriedly exclaimed: âWait a minute, Gu Qing Shan, you just said that we canât defeat that monsterââ and you still havenât explained how weâre going to fight!â
Gu Qing Shan prepared his sword seals.
The Earth sword appeared next to him from the void of space.
âDonât worry, Iâll explain it right awayâ
The Earth sword flashed and shot straight to the sky.
Everyone watched as the flying sword entered the deep blue sky above and slowly travelled even further away, completely out of sight.
Gu Qing Shan patted Ye Fei Liâs shoulder and told him: âDistribute the drinksâ
âGot itâ
Ye Fei Li gave a canned drink to everyone.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan quickly began to delegate the roles of battle:
âFei Li will be responsible for lookout, Iâll leave the mirror world and our ship to you, also remember to pay attention and help us if necessaryâ
âSureâ Ye Fei Li replied.
âYing Hao, are you able to utilize your gun yet?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âAs much as I possibly can, it had only just awoken, so weâre still trainingâ
âAt a crucial moment, youâll be responsible for snipingâ
âThatâs simple enoughâ Zhang Ying Hao nodded.
âXuan Ya, in a few minutes, Iâll leave the rings to you. You need to rally the strength of the Demis; Laura, youâll come with us and be on standby to provide help at any timeâ
âGot itâ Xuan Ya replied.
âYesâ Laura replied.
Gu Qing Shan then turned to Boss.
âBoss, you and I will kill the four fake Godsââ- Iâll create a chance for youâ
âDonât worry, my Flames of Nihility will be more than enough to kill themâ Boss replied.
âWait a minuteâ Zhang Ying Hao couldnât help but cut Gu Qing Shan off and asked: âThe Previous Kings are still plotting to kill the God of Life in the royal palace, the four fake Gods are waiting for the coronation ceremony to begin, the God of Life should also be hiding in the vicinity of the royal palaceââ how do you intend to break this situation?â
Gu Qing Shan replied: âQuite simple, that place is where all of their plans and schemes intertwine, if we continue forward like this, weâd surely be the passive side and would lose our initiative, soââ-â
Weâll let keep their plans and arrangements where they are, while we create an entirely new situation and take back the initiativeâ
As soon as he said so, everyone couldnât help but look up.
Far above in the sky.
A streak of light was ripping through the void of space with a high-pitched screech as it shot towards the ground.
The Earth sword.
âââthe Earth sword was about to descend while carrying its unrivaled destructive power!
Zhang Ying Hao couldnât help but ask again: âBrother, I know your swordsmanship is great, but what are you trying to do?â
âNothing much, just creating a bit of chaosâ
Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.
Far away from where they stood, the Earth sword struck the ground like a meteorite.
