Chapter 1498 - Transcendent evolution!

The black thread weaved together and formed a giant featureless humanoid face that looked down on Reneedol.

Lachesis explained: “You can relax, I won’t hurt you. I will only display your past to you”

With a wave of her hand, the giant featureless humanoid face turned into a shadow that enveloped the two of them.

“You will soon see all the memories that you and I shared” Lachesis explained.

Reneedol hesitantly looked at her.

Lachesis appeared a bit tired and continued: “Pitiful sister, you’ve even forgotten how to use the power of Fate. After a while, when numerous Apocalypses erupt one after another, if you do not hurry and awaken those memories, you won’t be able to survive”

The darkness around them slowly changed into a vision of a beautiful place.

Reneedol couldn’t help but ask: “Why do you insist on me remembering the past?”

Lachesis’ lips twitched slightly before answering: “Because you need power, and I also need your help, otherwise, neither of us will be able to survive”

“——-an even more powerful Apocalypse is about to erupt!”

...

At another location.

The divine palace of Death.

The orange cat swam around the entire place, but didn’t discover anything new.

Seems like countless years ago, the Myriad Deities only established a ‘blessings of the Myriad Deities’, hoping that the future Lord of Radiance or Death God would be able to dispel the so-called ‘shadows of the Deities’.

I can’t even be sure if that’s true.

Even if it was true, why should I deal with that terrifying ‘them’ that the Deities mentioned?

——-I don’t care.

Let’s just return and rest now.

The orange cat adjusted his posture a bit and prepared to activate [Fog Realm Descent]

Suddenly, a voice resounded by the orange cat’s ears:

“Don’t be in a hurry. The Death miasma from these corpses had settled here for countless years, you might not be able to use it, but a pure Law-manifested being like me can absorb them”

The orange cat was surprised briefly before calming down.

—–it was Black Hound’s voice.

As a Beast of Death that he used Star Force to create, Black Hound certainly does have that ability.

The orange cat sent his voice: “Don’t appear yet. Tell me how long it’ll take you to absorb all of this Death miasma”

Black Hound answered right away: “It’ll be very quick”

The orange cat sensed his surroundings and confirmed that he wasn’t being monitored before saying: “Come out and make it quick”

Black Hound naturally understood the situation and answered without hesitation.

A cluster of black flames silently manifested and turned into Black Hound next to him.

“Such a profound presence of Death!”

It muttered, then scattered its body into mist and flew towards the sea of corpses below.

The orange cat stood still, silently waiting.

A few minutes later, he suddenly felt alarmed.

“Return!”

The orange cat sent his voice.

The black mist immediately returned to the orange cat, turned back into a small cluster of flames, and entered the orange cat’s Thought Sea.

The orange cat continued to stay still and held his breath.

——an immense and irresistible fluctuation scanned through the orange cat’s position and the entire divine palace before moving away.

The orange cat didn’t have the courage to even make the slightest movement or use any spells, he simply floated in the water.

After a while.

The feeling of being monitored disappeared again.

The orange cat then sent his voice: “How much did you absorb?”

“I had to stop after I just started, so I’ll need to make another trip” Black Hound pitifully said.

“You know what, let’s not, it’s too dangerous” the orange cat replied.

Black Hound hurriedly said: “Don’t! Do not leave just yet!”

“What? You want to give up on living?” the orange cat sternly asked.

Black Hound’s tone softened a bit and begged: “This place should be where the ancient Deities and their servants who died in battle were laid to rest, all of their corpses remained here, accumulating an immense amount of miasma after so many years—- for me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”

The orange cat hesitated.

——-is it really worth taking this risk?

Black Hound continued: “The entire amount of Star Force on the surface wouldn’t be as beneficial to me compared to the miasma of Death here, you have to give me this chance to consume all of it”

The orange cat pondered a bit and asked: “Alright, then tell me what you’d be able to do after you consumed all of this miasma?”

Black Hound boasted: “Before, I had the ability to sense death and even cause a mortal to fall asleep, you know that already right?”

“I do” the orange cat replied.

“After I consumed all of this miasma, I would be able to predict deaths before they happened, as well as force any entity to fall into a slumbering state—– although there’s a time limit” Black Hound explained.

Predict death?

That’s a very useful ability.

And the ability to force any entity to fall into a slumbering state, even if there was a time limit, it still made Gu Qing Shan’s heart beat faster.

He thought briefly before looking down at the endless sea of corpses below.

These two abilities would be greatly beneficial regardless of the situation.

And since there’s such a good opportunity to help my Beast of Death grow stronger, how could I let it go?

The orange cat made his decision.

“Alright, how about this. Count to ten, then immediately begin to absorb this miasma of Death” the orange cat said.

“What about you? Are you going to leave me?” Black Hound asked.

“I’m going to find someone to help you, then return right away” the orange cat replied.

“Can they be trusted? I want to evolve, but not enough to die for it” Black Hound asked.

“They can!” the orange cat affirmed.

“Then all is good, all is good” Black Hound very clearly sighed in relief.

The orange cat was a bit speechless.

——-for better or worse, you’re still a Beast of Death, even if you’re afraid to die, can you not say it out loud?

“Begin!” the orange cat declared.

A cluster of black flames flew out from the orange cat’s body and silently fell onto the sea of corpses below.

A mass of white fog appeared from the orange cat and brought him away.

...

The Isle of Protection.

After Reneedol left, Boss continued to cultivate in the training room.

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan’s voice resounded in his ears:

“Boss, I’m in urgent need to do something that can’t be noticed by that monitoring entity, so I want you to help draw its attention”

“When?” Boss asked right away.

“Right now!” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Boss’ expression didn’t change at all and curtly declared: “Don’t worry, it’s nothing big. Give the Book of Prophesized Destinies to me, I’ll come up with a solution!”

“Here”

A cat paw appeared from the void of space that put the Book of Prophesized Destinies down.

Boss accepted the Book of Prophesized Destinies, opened the door, and went outside.

He leapt into the air, hovered in the sky, then began to laugh.

“Ahaha, mortals of the world, are you prepared for what’s about to come next?” Boss grandly declared.

He opened the Book of Prophesized Destinies, which radiated a glorious blinding light.

This was so eye-catching that it immediately drew the attention of every living being on the Isle.

Everyone saw Boss right away.

This Combatant fought against the apocalyptic junk earlier today.

He was among the most powerful entities on the Isle.

——what is he doing now?

No one knew what he wanted to do.

Everyone put down whatever it was they were doing and focused their attention on him.

Gu Qing Shan immediately noticed that the monitoring sensation descended from the sky, which was even more intense compared to before.

“How long do you need me to draw its attention?” Boss silently asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I don’t know yet, wait for me to return!”

He used [Fog Realm Descent] again to return to the divine palace was Death

Black Hound quickly was quickly absorbing the miasma of Death that had accumulated after the deaths of a hundred thousand Deities.

The black flames around its body grew harsher.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

...

Time quickly passed, after a total of ten breaths’ worth of time, Black Hound finally returned and quickly said: “I’m done now. I’ll enter a state of transcendent evolution soon”

Its body had practically manifested a solid black aura that naturally gave off an overwhelming presence.

The orange cat was already impatient, so he quickly said: “We’re leaving”

He immediately used [Fog Realm Descent] to return to the Isle of Protection.

After returning to the secret room and his original form, Gu Qing Shan quickly left the room to scan the surroundings.

Every living being on the Isle was solemnly listening as Boss talked.

Reneedol was listening.

Scarlet was listening.

Little Dusk was also listening.

The elves, the giants, even the species that had been saved were also listening with serious expression.

The pixies in particular had anxious expressions on their faces.

——-even the pixies seemed anxious, what exactly is Boss doing?

Gu Qing Shan turned to Boss and saw that he was holding the Book of Prophesized Destinies while a grand divine glow radiated from his body. He was saying something with a melodious voice.

Gu Qing Shan carefully listened——–

“The wolf blew and blew, but the brick house wouldn’t budge”

“It angrily stomped around outside and called out——”

“Little pig, if you don’t open the door, you will pay!”

“The little pig answered him:”

“Not opening, not opening, definitely not opening!”

“The sly grey wolf thought of a great idea and began to climb into the chimney of the house”

“It didn’t know that the little pig had already boiled a pot of water below, waiting for it...”

Gu Qing Shan face-palmed.

So he was telling a bedtime story.

Boss really is a man of many talents.

“Alright, I’m done, you don’t need to draw their attention anymore!” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly sent his voice.

Boss sighed in relief.

“Alright, we’re going to stop here today” he declared.

The entire Isle remained silent.

The elves and giants exchanged glances.

——-even now, they don’t understand what just happened.

Suddenly, one of the pixies loudly asked: “What about the next chapter? When are you going to read the next chapter?”

“That’s right, you’ve only told half of it!”

“Tell us the rest of the story!”

“What happened to the grey wolf?”

“I want answers!”

The pixies called out one after another.

Boss closed the Book of Prophesized Destinies and answered with a firm expression: “If you want to know what happens next, wait until tomorrow!”
