Dozens of powerful elves flew forward and landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
âWait!â Little Dusk loudly called out, âAre you sure you want to do this? Canât you live in peace?â
An elven Elder bowed towards Little Dusk, then profoundly spoke: âVenerable Guardian, you might be our leader, but he had killed our people. I would like to ask for you to respect the right of out elven race and allow us to use the law of nature to resolve this matterâ
Little Dusk observed the dozen elves, then said: âIf thatâs the case, then you should be using a one-on-one method of competitionâ
The Elder laughed, then pointed at Gu Qing Shan: âThis brat had killed several of our Arbitrators on the ship, he is extremely dangerous, so we must follow another law of natureââ- and use the hunting method to kill him in order to guard this Isle of Protection and guard all of our safetyâ
âHow impressive, so it turns out you were the embodiments of justiceâ Gu Qing Shan clapped his hand.
The elder shouted: âGo! Kill him!â
The elves charged towards Gu Qing Shan together.
While there was still a distance of several dozen meters between them, Gu Qing Shan lowered his body slightly and threw dozens of punches like an afterimage in front of himself.
ââthought-destroying fist, [Grand Mountain]!
In the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, even an apocalyptic monster amalgamated from billions of dead souls were stopped dead in its tracks by this strike, so how could these elves resist?
The elvesâ attack formation instantly collapsed.
The group of elves that were still a distance away suddenly fell on the ground and fell forward from the momentum like they had lost their minds.
While the elves that remained in place to chant their incantations went completely blank.
Gu Qing Shan relaxed his stance, then snapped his fingers:
âBurnâ
Clusters of black flames manifested in mid-air and descended onto the Jungle Elvesâ bodies, instantly burning them to ashes.
Several dozen elven Combatants died without a single sound.
They couldnât even unleash a proper attack before they died.
The remaining giant, elves, humans, as well as the living beings of the Isle of Protection all looked warily at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan looked towards the remaining Jungle Elves and asked like he was interested: âYour hunt seemed to have failed, so now what will you do in accordance with your law of nature?â
A Jungle Elf sternly shouted back: âWe elves have always been an indomitable race, do you think weâre going to surrender just because you killed some of our people?â
Fwoom!
A burst of black flames enveloped and took him away from this world.
Gu Qing Shan displayed a strange expression and said: âIâve never said I wanted you to surrender, did I?â
He faced the elven Elderâs eyes head-on and muttered: âI simply want to kill your inferior race to extinction; Iâve already made that quite clearâ
The elven Elder thought of something, then hurriedly walked in front of Little Dusk and prostrated himself.
âVenerable Guardian, you are the lord of our elven raceâs fate, I beg you to save us!â he begged as he sobbed.
Little Dusk appeared slightly troubled and couldnât help herself glancing at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan said: âEarlier, you asked the Guardian not to interfere with your hunt; now that youâre no match, youâre begging your Guardian to save you, is this also part of the elven raceâs law of nature?â
Little Dusk shook her head.
Gu Qing Shan continued: âVery well, then please respect the law of nature and do not interfere with natural survival of the fittestâ
Little Dusk hesitated, then retreated towards the Giants.
The elven Elder froze and tried to speak: âVenerable Guardian, youâ-â
Little Dusk replied: âAt your request, Iâve always respected your law of natureâ
After saying that, she went silent.
The elven Elder turned back and looked at Gu Qing Shan with a hateful gaze.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and casually said: âThe extinction of the elven race is hereâ
A burst of black flames manifested behind him and turned into a beast clad in fire.
Black Hound lightly growled, when it saw the Jungle Elves, the fire on its body burnt even stronger and higher.
âPatient now, itâll be time to eat soonâ Gu Qing Shan said.
Black Hound sat down obediently next to him and waited.
âA monster manifested from the Law of Death...â the elven Elderâs trembled as he muttered, his gaze finally changing.
The Laws would not deceive people, and the living beings or objects that they turn into would still exude the pressure of Laws.
All the Law Behemoths were dead.
But the young man in front of them was able to manifest the Law of Death into a beast and even command it.
His identity was very clear.
The elven Elder finally understood what he said earlier.
Death God!
He is the real Death God!
How ridiculou
s
for some of us who wanted to...
Many people also realized this.
Around this river bank, everyone hurriedly prostrated in front of Gu Qing Shan, devoutly praying to him.
No one dared to look him straight in the eyes anymore.
At this point, Little Dusk spoke: âHonorable Death God, I am the Guardian of the elven race, I ask that you spare their lives just this onceâ
âWhy should I spare them?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âWhile theyâre alive, they will be able to serve you as your eyes, hands, and feet; after all, the current situation is a complicated one, and you will need servantsâ Little Dusk replied.
Gu Qing Shan answered her: âI have no need for servants, but since theyâre so fond of slaves, they can be my slaves instead, as that will be the only value of their lives. You may ask them if theyâre willing to embrace Death or to become my slaves?â
Little Dusk sighed, then walked in front of the elven race.
âChoose now, to die, or to serveââ- to become a Godâs slaveâ
She declared.
The elves looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Sometimes, for the sake of dignity or something similar, some living beings would choose death.
But in reality, no one really wants to die.
Being someone elseâs slave might be uncomfortable, but if this âsomeone elseâ was the God who ruled over Death, the situation was naturally different.
The elven Elder respectfully said: âThe elven race pledge ourselves to the God of Death, from now on, we shall follow your every orderâ
Gu Qing Shan nodded: âHm, first release all of your slaves, then kneel and we shall speakâ
âAs you wish!â
...
Nighttime.
At the center of the Isle of Protection, inside a spacious divine palace.
Gu Qing Shan and Little Dusk were talking.
They were sitting in a secret chamber of the palace without anyone else around them.
âDonât worry, this is the palace of the Protection Deity, no one would be able to commit any acts of murder inside her palace, and this secret room she built had the ability to block out all eavesdropping and clairvoyanceâ Little Dusk explained.
Gu Qing Shan silently kept up his perception for a while and confirmed that the faint sensation of being observed was really gone.
Little Dusk then said: âIâve followed your request and said everything as you instructedâ
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Little Duskâs expression was serious as she sincerely said: âThank you for saving me in the pastâ
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: âI didnât think that youâd still be able to recognize me after so many yearsâ
In the past, on top of the Twin Tree of Fate, when Little Dusk was at her deathbed, Gu Qing Shan used the [Wing of the Condemnation Angel] armor to cooperate with a Law Behemoth to save her.
âI will never forgetâ Little Dusk replied, âYou must have realized as well, there is something that is constantly observing everything within the ruins of the Pantheon. Everything on the surface had already been destroyed, so this is the only place left where living beings could survive. I hope that youâll spare the elves; even though they are selfish, they have indeed saved a lot of species and helped me establish this Isleâ
Gu Qing Shan said: âI spared their lives earlier today because I truly do need some people to work for meâ
Little Dusk sighed in relief, then said: âI saw my older sister with you, I was also able to sense her powers. Can we go talk to her now?â
âNo, your sisterââ-â right as Gu Qing Shan was about to reject her, he suddenly thought of something.
What would happen now if Little Dusk and Reneedol were to meet?
The current Reneedol had forgotten everything.
If Reneedol had a little sister like Little Dusk accompanying her, would she start to change for the better?
After all, even if she originated from the Pantheon, she was still one of the twins of fate.
Gu Qing Shan paused a bit and corrected himself.
âI canât come with you, but you can see her if you likeâ
âYesâ Little Dusk delightedly said.
...
At another location.
Shroud was sitting in front of Scarlet and sternly tutoring her: âYou are very talented with Death, but you are certainly lacking when it comes to using Star Force. Iâve been asked by Rhode to teach you how to manifest the stars and use them to form powerful combinationsâ
âYes, thank you!â Scarlet answered seriously.
Shroud put up his hand.
Stars began to manifest one after another on top of his form to form a beautiful pattern.
âFirstly, Iâll teach you about the unique abilities that come with using Star Force...â
He went into a lot of details.
Scarlet sincerely listened without leaving out a single detail.
...
At another location.
Reneedol was in the garden of the palace.
She calmly strolled along until she reached the center of the garden.
This place was completely dark without anyone else.
âEver since I arrived at the Isle, youâve been calling out to me, who exactly are you?â Reneedol cautiously asked a region of darkness.
In front of her, a beautiful girl gradually stepped out from the darkness.
âMy dear younger sister, it seems youâve forgotten quite a few thingsâ
She stared straight at Reneedol with a hint of viciousness in her eyes.
