Gu Qing Shan and Lady Fusi instinctively held their breaths.
Both of them silently observed that figure.
âThat is himâ Lady Fusi confirmed.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The figure circled around the black flames several times while speaking:
âIt is exactly as the information said... such a powerful [Order] is like a canna flower blooming in a storm, although it can display a ray of light within the endless darkness of the Apocalypse, a mere 10 seconds cannot possibly win against the Apocalypse, it can onlyââ-â
His tone became full of killing intent: âAt a certain moment in the future, prevent the full manifestation of the Era of [Chaos], and I shall alter that futureâ
The sound of battle resounded from outside.
The people of both factions were clashing against one another!
The person briefly listed, then took out a small brownish-grey bag from his chest.
âThereâs not much time, fortunately, we had done everything we could to make this preparationâ
While saying that, he opened the small bag and tossed a handful of dark golden fine sand into the black flames.
Oom!
The black flames suddenly rose up and manifested a faint humanoid figure.
It spoke with a puzzled tone: [Who was it, who granted me another kind of power?]
After being mixed with that dark golden fine sand, the humanoid figure manifested by the flames was gradually becoming more unstable.
Numerous special materials and substances appeared from its body, silently floating in the air as they gave off a glorious light.
The figure quickly muttered: âI have granted you the emotions of humanity. From now on, you shall have deceitful language; a gloomy and cold timid personality; malicious and lacking in emotions; up until the moment of your sacrifice, at which you shall embrace the Era of [Chaos] and become the final power for the Era to descend!â
âFrom now on, you shall accept your completely new self, and a completely new mission!â
The flame abruptly trembled, then completely retracted; the humanoid figure also returned to stability.
[Iââunderstandââ]
The humanoid figure said.
The other figure stated: âKeep well in mind, you shall fight against [Chaos], only when you cannot win shall you flee as far as possible from it, up until a day when you are brought to place called the world of the Spireâ
[And then?] the humanoid figure asked.
âEmbrace the Era of [Chaos], after sensing the presence I left, it will temporarily not consume youâ
The figure continued: âOnce the Apotheotic Combat is over, the âHarbinger of Apocalypseâ Endâ will appear. You must release all of your Prayers and imbue her with itâ
âThe 10 trillion years of Prayers wouldâve accumulated would overwhelm her, forcing her to call out to usâ
âWe shall consume those Prayers and return to our peak states, thus reawakeningâ
[Understoodââ-] the humanoid figure replied.
Gu Qing Shanâs gaze became focused.
So that was it.
So that was the crucial mission that Ye Ru Xi carried, acting as the catalyst to imbue the Awaitings from the [Chaos] faction with the Prayers of 10 trillion years.
No wonder the Era of [Chaos] regarded her with such importance, sparing no price to protect her.
The [Demon King Order], the Era of [Chaos], the Apotheotic Combat, the bronze palace of [Chaos].
Everything had already been predetermined, as soon as the Apotheotic Combat ends, Ye Ru Xi will be brought back to the world of the Spire, and the preparations will be triggered.
At that time, not only would the Era of [Chaos] fully manifest, but these Awaitings from the [Chaos] faction would also be thoroughly awakened!
Regardless of who becomes the founding Deity of [Chaos], they would still be powerless to stop the Awaitings of the [Chaos] faction.
The [Chaos] faction would emerge triumphant within this 10-trillion-year-war.
They will destroy every world, eliminate every living being, and bring about desolation to allââ
Until the Apocalypse ultimately ends.
These Awaitings...
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tightly, forcing himself to control his killing intent.
After finishing his entrustment, the figure nodded with a pleased attitude.
His gaze turned to the void of space, staring at the numerous precious treasures that appeared from within the [Order].
ââall of them were Dreamscape Soul Artifacts, personal artifacts of the Awaitings.
âThese Soul Artifacts are the core from the side of [Order], I naturally cannot take them out, otherwise they will noticeâ
He muttered, then took out a rectangular box.
The treasures that flew out were placed within and sealed by dozens of Secret Arts, rendering them unable to be sensed any longer.
The figure silently listened to the commotion outside and mockingly said:
âWe spent an untold amount of time to prepare a total of 3000 concealment Secret Arts, Iâd like to see you try and find them againâ
He strolled towards a certain corner, crouched down, then placed the rectangular box on the ground.
The rectangular box quickly faded away and sank into the ground, completely vanishing from sight.
âPeople from the side of [Order]â
âYou shall continue to come here day by day, continuously creating your [Orders], but never will you find out that everything youâre doing would become a stepping stone for [Chaos]â
âThis is my silent insultâââ one that will follow you each and every day up until the moment of the Era of [Chaos]âs descentâ
Saying so, that figure triumphantly chuckled, then slowly faded into the void of space and disappeared from the secret room.
One breathâs worth of time later.
âHas he left?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âHe hasâ Lady Fusi replied.
She flew forward, pressed her hand on the ground, and muttered an incantation.
The rectangular box was taken out from the ground.
Gu Qing Shan silently watched this and said: âSo he replaced the core of the [Demon King Order], no wonder it got involved in so many tricks and schemes later onâ
âIndeed, with these cores still present, we still have hopeâ Lady Fusiâs gaze was filled with hope.
She carefully carried the rectangular box in her hands.
ââthat one probably didnât expect that the entire process of his sabotage was discovered by two people who came from over 10 trillion years in the future.
Lady Fusi opened the box and looked carefully at the treasures inside.
âWhen you sacrificed the [Demon King Order], it had already obtained the Prayers of countless living beings, it was only because it had to wait for the descent of the Era of [Chaos] that it continued to hide itselfâ Lady Fusi muttered.
âIâve always felt it strange, because of how fearful it wasââ it has clearly evolved into its ultimate form alreadyâ Gu Qing Shan added.
Lady Fusi continued: âIt had actually been waiting to be taken to the world of the Spire, waiting for the Apotheotic Combat to endâ
âLady Fusi, do you have any solutions?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lady Fusi shook her head: âEven though the [Demon King Order] has been altered, it has still gotten involved in numerous events for the next 10 trillion years. If we tried to change it again right now, the history of 10 trillion years would also be changed, we will be affected by the surging current of messed up Causality and killed offâ
Gu Qing Shan pondered, then said: âWe can simply not touch anything during this period of 10 trillion years, only changing the outcome at the very last momentâ
âYou meanâââ
âYes, that person had foreseen that the [Demon King Order] will be consumed by the Era of [Chaos], we will make it realityâ
Lady Fusi observed him: âGo onâ
Gu Qing Shan asked: âCan we somehow utilize these core components and also rig the [Demon King Order], to make sure that everything will happen as it had, only suddenly changing the outcome at the moment that the Apotheotic Combat ends?â
He made a slashing gesture with his hand and continued: âLike an assassin, only striking a single time when itâs most necessaryâ
Lady Fusi muttered: âLet me think...â
She fell into thought.
A few moments later.
She took out a few Dreamscape Soul Artifacts from the box and put them into the black flames.
Numerous mystical incantations were chanted for dozens of seconds before she finished.
âWith my power, I cannot alter this [Order]ââ that person also had to bring the preparations of the [Chaos] faction with him in order to change the [Order] we createdâ
âHowever, as the old saying goes, destruction is easier than creationâ
âAnd I have a way to destroy all of their preparationsâ
As she explained, her long hair slowly turned silver-grey, her beautiful appearance gradually became withered and old.
ââ-even though she altered the [Order] only just a bit, even though she was an Awaiting, she still had to expend a great deal of power.
Gu Qing Shan stopped her from falling.
âIt is doneâ
Lady Fusi tiredly wiped the sweat from her forehead, then handed a Dreamscape Soul Artifact from the box to Gu Qing Shan.
As Gu Qing Shan received it, he saw that it was a Card.
The Card depicted a snow-white unicorn, hanging on the unicornâs neck was a bright red flute.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
