The Wraith realm.
From within boundless darkness, a dried-up hand reached out and formed a hand seal.
Following that, another jet-black hand appeared, also forming a hand seal.
âLife Hex, [Last Form of the Deceased]!â
âImmortal Craft, [Miraculous Light Reflection]!â
Two voices called out at once.
The void of space slowly opened up.
An endless nothingness appeared in front of the wraiths.
A soul spark flew out from within, heading into the darkness before stopping in front of a Wraith statue.
ââthis was White Eagle â Gong Wuâs soul spark.
A frigid voice sounded from the statue:
[What was the name of this pawn we placed inside the Bounty Hunter Guild?]
Someone immediately replied: âWhite Eagle â Gong Wu, a Titled rank hunterâ
âVery well, he immediately died after I ordered him to probe that fiendââ- come, let me see if it was that fiend who killed him or something elseâ
The two voices from before responded in unison: âYes, Wraith Lord sirâ
Light began to overlap and form an image.
ââthis was the last thing White Eagle â Gong Wu saw before his death.
âDie!â
Someone shouted.
A spear pierced through his chest, followed by a spell blast.
A soldier, and a caster.
White Eagle â Gong Wu died from a combined attack between the two of them.
An assistant said: âWraith Lord sir, it seemed that White Eagle â Gong Wu died within a wave of attack from the Apocalypseâ
This was clear.
But the Wraith Lord hesitated a bit before continuing: [I sense that something is wrong. Let me perform the Space-Time reserve flow technique to revive this White Eagle â Gong Wu and ask him clearly]
Someone advised: âWraith Lord sir, his soul had completely lost its vitality, most likely corroded by the Apocalypse. You might need to utilize a lot of strength to revive himâ
[It doesnât matter, the truth is more important]
The statue declared and raised both hands, preparing to form a hand seal.
At this very moment.
A flare talisman flew in from the distance, hovering in front of the statue.
The statue paused a bit before tapping the flare talisman.
A respectful voice reported from the flare talisman:
âWraith Lord sir, the newest intelligence. The Apocalypse upon Gloom Galaxy has been determined to be Unlivable rank â Control class, all Combatants who headed into that galaxy have been confirmed to be deadâ
Silence.
The statue slowly lowered its hand.
[Confirmed dead...]
[Then I do not need to waste any strength]
A second later.
White Eagle â Gong Wuâs soul spark abruptly howled before being absorbed into the statueâs mouth.
[Dying before uncovering a single bit of usable information...]
[This is your punishment!]
...
At another location.
The Gloom Galaxy.
The teleport tower.
Three ID cards had just crumbled to dust.
Gu Qing Shan, Crow, and Yu Juan were all standing still.
Originally, they were supposed to be waiting for reinforcement, but now they had been completely discarded.
ââ-but compared to that, there was something considerably more urgent.
âYu Juan, you said that those worlds were fusing, right?â Crow asked.
Yu Juan checked his intricate tool again, replying in confusion: âThatâs right, theyâre indeed in the middle of fusion, but why are they also in the middle of destruction?â
Gu Qing Shan sighed and explained: âDuring the fusion process, the Plague Apocalypse world is also continuously corroding the extinct monster world as well as the lost civilization world, that is why the level of destruction will continue to riseâ
Spatial fluctuation could be felt once again.
The ground wasnât moving at all, but all three of them clearly felt trembling.
A glowing line of text suddenly appeared on the War God UI:
[A unique circumstance had occurred]
[You and the others are about to be sucked into the new world]
[As none of you belongs to any of these three unique worlds, you will be discarded by their Laws during the fusion process. You will be thrown directly into the center of the Plague Apocalypse and killed by the endless horde of plague monsters]
âCanât we discuss this?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
The War God UI replied: [The infinite worlds of those parallel realities have been through destruction, leaving only the most powerful worlds remaining. After fusion, they no longer trust anyone]
[The only remedy is for you to constantly release your Soul Points to feed the post-fusion world, using that as reimbursement to gain the acceptance of the Laws of that world]
[This would be the only way for you to survive]
Gu Qing Shan silently asked: âHow should I do that?â
The War God UI answered: [Continuously infuse origin power of the soul into the new world, this will convince the numerous Laws of the new world that you are a friendly intruder]
âHow much?â
[Three of you, 300 Soul Points per second. This process must continue until the Laws of the world no longer consider you to be existences that threaten this world]
[Please immediately begin this process, or the Laws of the world will proceed to get rid of you]
Gu Qing Shan asked: âWhat exactly do I need to do?â
[You do not need to do anything in particular, I will simply deduct it from your total, but a unique Soul Points fluctuation will manifest around your body for around 3 minutes, please make sure to explain to your companions] the War God UI answered.
âGot itâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
He then turned to Crow and Yu Juan, telling them very sternly: âListen, Iâm going to use a certain technique to guarantee that we arenât going to be killed by these fusing worldsââ but the technique will consume an extraordinary amount of my soul power, so I hope that if any monsters show up, youâll leave them for me to kill. I need the power of their souls to replenish myselfâ
Following his explanation, the War God UI began its work:
[Attention, from this moment onwards, the system will begin continuously deduct your Soul Points value to inform the Laws of the newly form world of your identities]
A small notification then popped up at the bottom left corner of the UI
[Soul Points offered to the Laws of the world: +300]
[+300]
[+300]
...
Gu Qing Shan silently calculated.
300 Soul Points per second.
Then Iâll spend 1,080,000 Soul Points per hour.
And around 26 million Soul Points per day.
Thatâs really expensive!
But itâs also the only way to survive.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at his remaining Soul Points value.
Iâve already used up around 80% of the Soul Points obtained from eating the dried salted fish, so there exist only around 300 million Soul Points left for me to use as a basis.
And Iâll be consuming it without any replenishment until weâre accepted by the Laws of the world!
Right as he began to spend his Soul Points, a unique fluctuation started to exude from his body.
This fluctuation felt like an invisible wave that also enveloped the other two.
After sensing it, Yu Juanâs expression became complicated and said: âThis is origin power of the soul! Fiend, youâre using up your origin for this technique!â
Crow whispered: âI can sense some sort of misfortune moving away from us, it seems your technique was effectiveâ
As the three of them remained still, the scenery around them was continuously changing.
Sometimes it displayed a group of fighting soldiers, sometimes it showed monsters, sometimes it was infected people.
The scenery was changing again and again as if to show the progress of the fusion.
Suddenly, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[The numerous Laws of the world have recognized your gift]
[You have been accepted by the new world]
[Following this, the Laws of the world will perform some adjustments to ensure that you thoroughly fit into the new world]
[First adjusted: Crow]
âWhatâs the adjustment?â Gu Qing Shan silently asked.
[Some sort of modification or optimization. Do not worry, it poses no danger to your lives] the War God UI replied.
A second later.
Crow abruptly shouted in panic:
âHaaaaAAAAH ââWHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO ME!?â
Gu Qing Shan and Yu Juan both turned towards Crow.
Crow was originally beautifully charming to the point of looking like an incubus, but his body was now shrinking ever so slightly, turning into an hourglass figure to become even more alluring and seductive.
âWHY THE HELL DID I TURN INTO A WOMAN!â Crow shouted like he was about to lose it.
Yu Juan opened his eyes wide.
This isââ
Too beautiful!!!!!
Every single woman in the catalogue of infinite worlds beauty Iâve kept so far just became uglier in comparison!!!!
Gu Qing Shan was also shocked.
Because the trembling around them had stopped.
The shifting supernatural phenomena were also disappearing.
The teleport tower was intact, everything returned to normal.
âCould it beâ-â Gu Qing Shan turned to Yu Juan.
Yu Juan unwillingly separated his gaze from Crow and turned to the intricate tool in his hand.
âNo, this is simply a part of the fusion. Weâve only temporarily returned to our original locations, in just a few minutes, weâââ
All three of them changed their expressions.
A little boy suddenly appeared inside the teleport tower.
He was a young boy that was around 5 years old, his body stuck full of mystical runes that only left his head outside, curiously looking at the three of them.
There was a long purple chain behind the boyâs back, not only did it keep him anchored in place, but it was also giving off a purple glow to surround him.
âAh, itâs an allyâ Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said.
ââ-this was Xiao Dieâs son, never did Gu Qing Shan expect he would see him here.
The boy lightly pulled on the chains behind him and shouted to his back: âMama, uncle is still alive!â
After that, he turned back to Gu Qing Shan:
âUncle, so youâre not dead yet. My mama was so worried that she summoned the power of many ominous demons and even asked me to use my abilities to sneak here and took a lookâ
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan felt both moved and worried.
âHurry and go, this place will soon fuse with another world, you canât get caught in it. Also, tell your mama to not worry, Iâll be fine on this sideâ he quickly said.
The boy replied: âIâm actually inside another isolated space, I wouldnât be able to save you either wayâ
He then pulled on the chains again, loudly shouting: âMama, itâs very dangerous here, uncle told me to return, saying that heâll be able to deal with itâ
After a bit.
The boy seemed to have heard something, so he nodded to Gu Qing Shan: âThen thatâs how it is. Since youâre so lucky, keep on taking care of yourselfâ
He turned around, about to leave.
âWait!â Crow suddenly called out.
Knowing that there wasnât much time, he quickly said: âThe Ominous Demon Tower has a male-female transformation technique, can you teach it to meââ I can pay any price, I just need that technique!â
The boy glanced at him, then was stunned.
ââ-this woman is too beautiful, almost to the point of seducing all living beings.
Gu Qing Shan was also surprised.
But since the ominous demons can create offspring without copulation, compared to that, a male-female transformation technique... doesnât seem too far-fetched.
âYou want to learn the male-female transformation technique from me?â the boy asked.
âYesâ Crowâs alluring eyes glittered full of desire.
âAnd youâre willing to pay any price?â the boy asked again.
âThatâs rightâ Crow muttered.
After a moment of silence, the boy suddenly pulled on the chains again, shouting: âMama, thereâs a woman here teasing me!â
Instantly, the chain and the boy both vanished into the void of space like a bolt of lightning.
