Gu Qing Shan had countless questions in his mind, but knowing that he didnât have much time whenever he visited the giant corpse, he immediately asked: âWhy exactly are the Law Behemoths fighting?â
The giant corpse replied: âThe world spirit had divided and manifested into many Law Behemoths. In times of peace, they would stimulate the growth and diversity of the world, but now that the Behemoths have realized the incoming threat, they have begun to compete for the right to leadâ
He seemed to chuckle, then continued:
âA cluster of flames contains both the Law of Light and the Law of Destruction, then does the initiative of this flame fall towards Light or towards Destruction?â
âBefore, while there had always been conflicts between the Law Behemoths, there had only been insignificant skirmishes. But now that it is the era of the apocalyptic calamity, they need to select a sovereign who will lead all the Behemoths and living beings to resist the Apocalypsesâ
âSo, have they decided on a leader?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
The giant corpse replied: âThey have notââ- during their war, they found out that if they continued this way, even before the Apocalypses descended, the world would have already been broken into innumerable piecesâ
âThenââ-â
âIgnore them. They will eventually find a suitable way to unite the powers of the worldâ
At this point, the giant corpseâs tone became more serious: âAnd now, I have something else I need to tell youâ
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit shaken and asked: âWhat is it?â
âYou and I are currently both living in an obscured period of history, one whose process and details have yet to become determinedâ the giant corpse said.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit confused and said: âHow is that possible? According to the Laws of Causality, if the process isnât determined, then what would happen to everything in the future? Illusions?â
The giant corpse explained: âCausality is determined, the future outcome had also been determined, but the process is actually the most important aspect of it allââ imagine it like a fish who swam through the River of Fate from upstream to downstream, but we do not know what had happened to it on the wayâ
âWhat difference does it make?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
The giant corpse replied with a chilling tone:
âAs you can imagine, we only know that the fish has arrived downstream, but we donât know if it had been replaced halfway through, or someone had caught it and placed something inside its belly, or if there were any ferocious pursuers who followed it thereâ
Gu Qing Shan was startled, then slowly understood.
This was a completely hidden period of history where no one knew what happened.
After thatââ
Reneedol killed all the Deities and headed into the Dusty World.
After the Inner Plane was destroyed, a terrifying monster whose background was unknown had taken over that place.
Bossâ original body was split in half, one half transformed into the Eternal Abyss, the other half became sealed inside the dark tunnel.
The cause of all of this was a complete mystery.
What was actually hiding in the fog to manipulate it all?
An entity?
Or an unknown Fate?
If thatâs the case, then I donât actually know anything at all.
The more Gu Qing Shan thought about it, the more cold sweat he could feel on his back.
The giant corpse continued: âThere, youâve understood. Causality is a very simple matter, but if we do not know the process, then there is no way for us to see through the truth behind the Causalityâ
âWhat do you think I should do now?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
The giant corpse replied: âThe Lord of Infinite Origins had also realized the hints of this and thus made a certain correct decision during the fog of history, which was to forge the six Sealing Tokens within the ruins of the Pantheonâ
âGu Qing Shan, you must obtain these six Sealing Tokens no matter what, they must not come into the possession of anyone elseâ
âAs you hold the seals, then no matter what happened in history, it would still be under your control. There would then be no issuesâ
The giant corpse paused for a brief moment, then continued: âHow unfortunate, with my current powers, I can only tell you so much, you must leave nowâ
Following his words, a flash of blinding light manifested deep above the sky.
It was a violent arc of lightning that had struck the top of the gigantic bronze pillar.
Almost immediately, the entire bronze pillar was enveloped in lightning, with smaller rays of electricity arcing from it.
Boom!
The corpse remained still without saying another word, letting the lightning envelop him.
Gu Qing Shan saw a black piece of scale armor detaching from the corpse and flew in front of him.
The giant corpseâs voice was heard again:
âI canât aid you any furtherâ
âThis is the evolution seal of [Mystery of All Beings Equal], take itâ
âIt will allow you to completely transform into a certain living being, even if your opponent has the power of Fate, they would not be able to detect youâ
The scale directly entered Gu Qing Shanâs body.
Lines of glowing text swiftly appeared on the War God UI:
[Youâve obtained the supplement Laws of the Mystery of All Beings Equal]
[Your Mystery of All Beings Equal is evolving]
[This Mystery has been reinforced with a unique constructed Law, unless this Law is destroyed, no living being will be able to detect the real you]
[3]
[2]
[1]
[Your exclusive Law: All Living Beings Equal, has been constructed]
[This Law has the property of exclusivity, without your permission, no one would be able to copy, steal, borrow, or utilize it]
[As you command this Law, any low-levelled disguises, illusions, or transformation techniques would not be able to deceive you]
Gu Qing Shan felt glad.
Reneedol had gotten ahold of all my powers, but now, [Mystery of All Beings Equal] has evolved again.
It had become an exclusive Law.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the giant corpse and loudly called out: âThank you, when I return to the future, Iâll definitely think of a way to save youâââ
Hoh!
An immense pulling force abruptly manifested on Gu Qing Shanâs body and instantly pulled him away from this world.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared almost right away.
The giant corpse continued to be enveloped in the destructive lightning without uttering a single word for a very long time.
...
Within the concealment formation array.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly appeared from the void of space, landing on the grass.
The other three young men and women had also just awoken.
After the Laws recovered, they regained their powers and woke up much earlier than Gu Qing Shan had predicted.
The young man among them saw Gu Qing Shan suddenly reappearing and asked full of admiration: âRhode, so you were able to enter the World of Laws?â
Gu Qing Shan looked at everyone, only to see them all, including Shroud, focusing on him.
There had always been very few people who could enter the World of Laws, and among the remnant members of the World Valley, Shroud was the only one capable of this.
Gu Qing Shan replied: âYes, but after I entered, I didnât see any Law Behemoths. I only heard a voice that told me to tell Shroudâââ
He made a very serious expression: âDonât continue to listen to the voices, they will only bring forth calamityâ
Hearing him, Shroud displayed an understanding expression.
âI had also assumed that to be the case... truthfully, Iâve been able to sense some sort of threat recently...â he muttered to himself.
âDonât mind me for now, hurry and heal Shroudâ Gu Qing Shan urged.
The healing expert girl regained her senses, stood up, then rushed up to Shroud and began using a healing technique.
âMy powers have returnedââ I can guarantee to be able to fully heal Shroudâs wounds within a few more daysâ the girl delightedly said.
The other young man and woman also realized that their powers were recovering.
Having been sufficiently healed, Shroudâs pained expression slowly subsided, he slowly closed his eyes exhaustedly, perhaps preparing to sleep again.
As the others saw this, they said nothing and simply stood guard cautiously.
Suddenly, Shroud reopened his eyes and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
âWhatâs the matter?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âRhode, since you were able to enter the World of Laws, youâve definitely drawn the attention of the Law Behemoths, so a Behemoth should have already arrived to form a covenant with you, why havenât they arrived yet?â Shroud confusedly asked.
âAhaha, Iâm not really hopeful about thatâ Gu Qing Shan played dumb to gloss this over.
ââ-the giant corpse directly pulled him towards his faraway sealed-off world, so he didnât appear in the World of Laws for even a second.
Perhaps this was why the Law Behemoths didnât notice me?
Shroud refuted: âThat canât be true. As long as youâve entered the World of Laws, the Behemoths would definitely notice you, the key point is... which Behemoth favors youâ
Since they were on this topic, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit interested.
âShroud, which Law Behemoth did you form a covenant with?â he asked.
âThe Behemoth who formed a covenant with me was the manifestation of the Law of Radianceââ- it sensed that my power and it was well-suited, so I was chosenâ Shroud replied.
âWell-suited...â Gu Qing Shan repeated that.
âIndeed, one of the Laws must be well-suited with you, but I donât know what it would beâ Shroud continued.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then said: âI have an ideaâ
A second later, boundless black flames descended from above onto his body.
