The group had been reunited.
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the pair of horns and blade next to Su Xue Er and asked: âWhatâs going on over there?â
Su Xue Er explained what happened earlier.
Gu Qing Shan pondered: âWhy didnât you use them in the desperate situation earlier?â
Su Xue Er appeared cautious and explained: âTheyâve only just faced a battle of life and death against me, but as soon as their masters were killed, they tried to accept me as their new masterâ
Gu Qing Shan looked at her and gestured for her to continue.
Su Xue Er continued: âIf they were acting, I definitely shouldnât use them; if they werenât acting, then their attitude towards their masters was too heartless, they might have something else in mind, so I wouldnât dare use themâ
Gu Qing Shan relaxed his expression: âXue Er, youâve really grownâ
Sha!
With a curt sound of a slash, Gu Qing Shanâs hand and sword disappeared for a brief moment before they reappeared.
A cold flash of light swept through both, the horns and the horse-headed blade.
How fast!
Everyone had the same thought.
Two desperate screams resounded at once.
They were struck by the Earth sword, completely slain.
âHuh? Werenât they artifacts of Huang Quan? Whatâs going on?â Su Xue Er asked.
Gu Qing Shan explained: âWhen I killed that demonic gate just now, I discovered their secretââ- the true Divine Armaments of Huang Quan had already returned to their respective worlds right as they were defeated, these two were fakesâ
ă What were they exactly? ăSha Qiang couldnât help but cut in.
âThey were the two who were killed by Su Xue Er, right before they completely died, apparently they were able to perform a technique turning them into the Divine Armaments in order to deceive other people for their survivalâ
As he explained this, Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized.
Right.
Thatâs very similar to [Mystery of All Beings Equal]
What kind of technique is this?
ââthree different people all have the same secret technique thatâs similar to [Mystery of All Beings Equal], could it be this Mystery is common in the Huang Quan realm fragment?
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter.
This isnât the time for that.
He called out: âCan a pixie come here?â
A pixie then flew over to him with their glowing magic staff.
Gu Qing Shan spoke to the sprite of light: âThe battle is over, so you donât have to be in so much hurry with your Divine Artifact anymore, get someone to help me heal the wounded firstâ
ââ-all of Lauraâs most precious healing serums were created by the pixies, but their healing spells and techniques were even more potent.
Unfortunately, normal people wouldnât even be able to see a pixie, let alone ask them for healing.
But now, Gu Qing Shan had become an ally of the pixies and even gifted them the Quipwood, as well as repelling all of the enemies for them, so his request was naturally heeded by the pixies.
Several sprites of light wrote something in the air:
[Please wait a moment, we will be able to activate the Divine Artifact soon]
Gu Qing Shan couldnât help but ask: âWhat kind of Divine Artifact is it?â
[A Spatial Divine Artifact]
The sprites of light returned to the pixies.
A few moments later, all the sprites of light parted ways.
The darkness itself receded to both sides like a pair of curtains.
The appearance of another world was displayed in front of everyone.
ââ-a luxurious palace, numerous floating structures, a sea of trees rich with greenery, and numerous strange and unusual creatures.
âThe Kingdom of Pixies!â Hazeden exclaimed in excitement.
This was an extremely rare sight, very few people had ever witnessed the true kingdom of pixies.
A pixie who donned a crown and a wonderful small moustache flew out from inside.
Numerous pixies followed behind him, all of them donning luxurious formal clothes and a short club in their hands.
This pixie cleared his throat and loudly declared: âAll of those who fought by our pixie ancestorâs side, you will have the eternal friendship of us pixies!â
Hazeden, Guyan, and Sha Qiang all smiled.
A normal person wouldnât be able to even see a pixie, nor would they dare to offend them.
Their treasures might be worth an astronomical amount, but their friendship was even more priceless.
Because as long as this friendship existed, they would be able to contact and trade with them at any time!
This was the kind of treatment that every country, kingdom, and race dreamed of.
After that declaration, the pixie looked around and asked in confusion:
âThen, my fatherâs fatherâs fatherâs fatherâs father, may I ask where you are?â
There was no answer, only sprites of flames flickered in and out of existence.
A small pixie whispered to him: âYour majesty, theyâre currently soulsâ
The king tapped his head before swinging the short club in his hand: âThe most precious materials are still being kept by the dragons, so our ancestors, please bear with some wooden bodies for now, we shall resolve this issue immediately after this!â
âââgo go, puppet bodies!â
With a series of consecutive tiny noises, the long-bearded old man and the countless pixies who followed him appeared.
They now all had wooden bodies.
The long-bearded old man signaled his descendants not to say anything yet.
He grabbed the pixie kingâs short club and chanted an incantation towards Su Xue Er:
âKadabra bradakaâ
âYour arm will grow longer and longer, enough to grab a broom to beat a mouseâ
âYour body will be stronger and stronger, like a big boar of the forest!â
Poof!
A puff of white smoke exploded around Su Xue Er.
Su Xue Er was surprised to find that her amputated arm had already returned, all of her wounds were also fully healed.
The long-bearded old man slightly lowered himself, bowing to her:
âMiss, your arm has been imbued with anti-magic properties and new vitality, if you ever run into a bad guy, you can use it to hit your enemy directlyâââ by the way, you were truly very brave just now, such bravery that touches the heart of us all, would you be willing to become a pixie?â
Su Xue Er knew that the thought process of pixies and humans were completely different, so she didnât say much else, only thanking him and replying: âItâs ok, I still want to remain a human, thank you very much for healing my woundsâ
The long-bearded old man slightly nodded before flying in front of Gu Qing Shan.
âYoung man, if it werenât for your efforts, us pixies would have had no hope at all, helplessly eaten by the Heavenly King Maraâ
Gu Qing Shan smiled: âThereâs no need to be so formal, it was because we mutually helped one another that we managed to achieve such a featâ
The long-bearded old man sighed, then continued: âWould you be willing to take a princess of the pixie as your wife?â
Gu Qing Shanâs smile froze.
Su Xue Er secretly pinched his hip with the hand that she just regrew.
âThat wonât be necessaryâ Gu Qing Shan silently clenched his fists and replied with a stern expression: âIâm a human, so I prefer female humansâ
The long-bearded old man appeared regretful and said: âThatâs ok, we can talk about this more later onâ
His expression suddenly turned cruel.
âBok-a-bok! Bok-a-bok! Heavenly King Mara, get over here!â
He swung his short club towards the void.
ââbut nothing happened.
âStrange? Is it no longer in this world?â the long-bearded old man was confused.
Since his enemy had escaped, the long-bearded old man couldnât really do anything else but return to chat with his descendants.
Su Xue Er handed a handgun over to Gu Qing Shan.
âThis is the weapon Impartial Goddess created for you, I borrowed it just nowâ
Gu Qing Shan pushed the gun back to her and replied: âUse it for your own protectionâ
âThen what about you?â Su Xue Er asked.
âWhen Iâm unwilling to, no one can ever get close to me even if they triedâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
Su Xue Er was glad but still insisted on putting the gun into Gu Qing Shanâs hand.
However, as soon as she let go, the handgun flew back straight into her hand.
The electronic voice then explained:
[This gun has synchronized itself with Su Xue Erâs gene and brainwave signature, currently helping the promotion of Su Xue Erâs genetic evolution, it cannot be used by anyone else]
Su Xue Er no longer declined and put the gun away.
âQing Shan, what do you plan to do now?â Su Xue Er asked.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
ââit was finally time for this.
The final battle against the Deity of [Chaos], the Soul Shrieker would soon occur.
This shall be the beginning of a great storm.
Iâve obtained Svalinn, so the next course of action is to save Lady Darksea.
Gu Qing Shan replied: âI need to return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom right away and summon everyone, then return to the past in order to fight against the Soul Shriekerâ
Su Xue Er held his hand tightly and spoke with conviction: âIâll be coming with youâ
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The electronic voice spoke up again: [That is not possible, Su Xue Er, you are currently undergoing a crucial point of your evolution, so taking unnecessary risks is ill-advised. Furthermore, you and I have a much more important mission to accomplish]
âWhat do you mean?â Su Xue Er asked, a bit displeased.
The electronic voice continued: [Right below our feet is the final war base, a collection of the strongest technological advances of the past Starlight Empire]
âBut I canât access this baseââ its central protocol password is most likely with the heir of the empireâ Su Xue Er replied.
The electronic voice refuted her: [You are the last remaining heir of the empire, while I have inherited the greatest computational power from Impartial Goddess and have access to all of the empireâs encryption algorithms]
âThen, you mean...â
[You and I will be able to enter the base, with your status and my prowess, we will be able to unlock all of this war baseâs powerâââ then utilize them in the war!]
âThatâs a good ideaâ Su Xue Erâs eyes lit up.
She turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan asked: âThere wonât be any danger, right?â
The electronic voice replied: [There will not, I am used to such matters. It will only require a bit of time]
âHow long?â Gu Qing Shan pursued the question.
The electronic voice replied: [It will be 1-2 days at the fastest and 3-4 days at the latestââ you can return first to gather the necessary personnel; we will then catch up]
âAlright, Iâll leave these Abyssal monsters here. Thereâs no need to be afraid of them, as the Abyss is currently our allyâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Hm, please be assured] the electronic voice replied.
