As soon as the radiant life appeared, Reneedolâs killing intent vanished without a trace.
âThis is the Law of Radiance... is Shroud calling you?â she asked.
âSeems so, Iâll be going first, see you laterâ Gu Qing Shan waved his hand.
He immediately answered the reverse summoning.
âWait a minute, where is Shroudâââ
Before Reneedol could finish her words, a flash of light appeared and took Gu Qing Shan away.
Only Reneedol remained in the divine palace of Fate.
She stood blankly in place and muttered to herself: âSeems like Iâll have to quickly return as well. The Lord of Infinite Origins is surely still after Shroud, and only I would be able to protect him nowâ
Reneedol looked around.
ââOther than the broken fragments of the statues, there was nothing left in this divine palace.
âThis place... will most likely never welcome another visitor...â
She shook her head and vanished from the divine palace.
...
At another location.
Under the dark watery abyss.
The secret room continued to be trapped here.
With a flash of light, Gu Qing Shan appeared directly in front of Boss, Scarlet, and Little Dusk.
âWhatâs the situation outside?â Boss asked.
âAre the living beings of the Isle of Protection still alive?â Little Dusk asked.
âAre you hurt? Did something happen?â Scarlet asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Boss, then turned to each of the two girls.
âThe fallen debris of the Samsara is currently destroying everything. The Lord of Infinite Origins is barely managing to hold the Pantheon ruins up, so the living beings inside are still alive, but I think this situation wonât continue for very longâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
Scarlet and Little Dusk both appeared worried.
âWhereâs Reneedol? Did you meet her? How is she?â Boss sent his voice and asked.
Gu Qing Shan consoled the two girls, then also sent his voice to explain in detail what happened between Reneedol and Lachesis.
Boss seriously listened, nodded, then appeared to be full of thought.
Suddenly, a dark grey stone seal appeared from thin air and hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.
âWhatâs this?â Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
âThe fourth Sealing Tokenââ- seems like youâve set this period of history in stone. Since Reneedol didnât die during this period, the fourth Sealing Token had also appearedâ Boss explained.
Gu Qing Shan took the Seal Token and smiled wryly: âShe isnât just ânot deadâ, sheâs now powerful enough to directly go against the Lord of Infinite Originsâ
As he held the Sealing Token in his hand, lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[Youâve obtained the fourth Sealing Token]
[There exists a total of six Sealing Tokens, you will need two more Sealing Tokens in order to completely grasp the seal in your hands]
Gu Qing Shan trembled briefly.
So many things had happened that he had only just remembered what the six Sealing Tokens represented.
On one hand, these six Sealing Tokens would solidify history and ensure that everything that had happened couldnât be changed.
On the other hand, these six Sealing Tokens sealed Bossâ original body, and Reneedol in the future was attempting to come up with a way to undo the seal and obtain Bossâ corpse.
âHardly, her mind would still be influenced by the Lord of Infinite Origins, so even if she had gotten stronger, she would still not be able to go directly against himâ Boss retorted him.
â...Thatâs right, Boss. This place is about to collapse already, hurry and tell me, when will the fifth Sealing Token appear?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Boss, and Boss also looked back at him.
The two of them read the same message in the otherâs eyes.
This era is too dangerous, remaining here for even one extra day is one extra day full of risks.
ââthe best choice right now is to quickly retrieve all six Sealing Tokens, ensure that history can no longer be changed, then immediately return to the future.
Boss recalled: âThe fifth Sealing Token, I think it was to protect those around you and triumph against all enemies?â
The two of them went silent.
Right now, the mastermind in the shadows, the Lord of Infinite Origins, had shown himself.
Reneedol had also obtained two Divine Artifacts crafted by millions of Deities.
The Samsara is about to crush the entire world under its weight.
Not even the Lord of Infinite Origins might not be able to endure it.
âââand now, we need to ensure that Shroud, who isnât even 20 years old, triumphs against all his enemies?
Boss face-palmed: âIt seems the conditions I initially set up were quite carelessâ
âVery carelessâ Gu Qing Shan agreed.
At this point, the secret room trembled slightly.
Followed by a resounding furious roar from afar that went on for 5-6 breathsâ worth of time.
Everyoneâs expressions changed.
ââ-this place was deep underwater, and yet they were still able to hear that roar so clearly.
Scarlet covered her ears and asked: âWhat exactly is making that noise?â
âIâm not sure, let me check its power firstâ
Little Dusk said, then drew a Card from the void of space.
She threw the Card forward.
It instantly manifested as a series of constantly changing numbers.
The numbers rapidly increased, then finally solidified at 1000:1.
âWhat does this mean?â Scarlet asked.
âIt means that the other party was 1000 times stronger than I amâ Little Dusk replied.
âItâs the Lord of Infinite Origins!â Gu Qing Shan and Boss both exclaimed.
Scarlet covered her mouth.
ââ-that terrifying entity was that powerful?
How are we supposed to fight against that?
Everyone was speechless.
Boss took out the Book of Prophesized Destinies, then shouted: âManifest calamityâ
The Book of Prophesized Destinies flipped open by itself and quickly turned to a certain page.
This page was originally blank, but it soon manifested various marks to depict a portrait.
In the portrait, the numerous passages, stairways, and divine palaces of the Pantheon were undergoing total collapse.
A tentacle filled with vertical irises stood in every location of the Pantheon, trying their best to hold the Pantheon up, but it was proving futile.
Bossâ expression changed: âNot good, the Pantheon ruins are collapsing on us, I need to quickly find and retrieve Reneedolâ
Gu Qing Shan held him back: âDonât go, youâre not even as powerful as she is right nowâ
Boss shook his head: âYou donât understand. There is no one whoâs familiar with this place as much as I am, not even the current Lord of Infinite Origins knows as much as I doââ only I know of all of this placeâs secrets, and even if it reached the worst-case scenario, I still have unique measures that no one else can employ!â
Gu Qing Shan was stunned briefly, then realized what he was talking about.
ââthe secrets that Boss mentioned were entities at the same level as the giant eyeball.
An entity who had the power to triumph against everything!
Boss put one finger on the Book of Prophesized Destinies and lightly chanted an incantation.
The Book of Prophesized Destinies rapidly flipped through its pages, displaying numerous pictures of weapons, spells, creatures, secret scriptures, etc.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: âWhat is this?â
âAh right, after you left, Iâve begun to all-around strengthen myselfâââ Iâve actually recalled quite a few methods that would greatly boost my strengthâââ but let me retrieve Reneedol firstâ Boss said.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then closed his eyes and told him: âBoss, listen to me, perhaps the relationship between you and Reneedol isnât quite what you thought it wasâ
âI know, thatâs why I entered this era merely to witness everythingâ Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him, only to see his expression was calm and collected.
âItâs ok, Gu Qing Shan, after I escaped from that bastardâs mind influence, Iâve become considerably more rational, I wonât be deceived by anyone againâ Boss calmly told him.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit more at east, then firmly said: âI respect your decisionâ
He then walked up to the door and said: âGrant Shroud the authority to leave and enter as he pleasesâ
ă Understood ăthe Sacred Gate replied.
Boss flipped through the Book of Prophesized Destinies before turning into a ray of light and disappearing from the secret room.
Only Gu Qing Shan, Little Dusk, and Scarlet remained.
Little Dusk didnât say anything and rapidly drew Card after Card from the void of space.
Each time she Drew ten Cards, she left them aside and continued to draw even more.
Very quickly, she had drawn about seventy or eighty Cards.
Little Dusk carefully examined each Cards, occasionally placing a couple, or three, or even four Cards together to fuse them.
She diligently did this while forgetting their current circumstances.
Scarlet also walked aside, manifesting dozens of stars around her body before using black flames to slowly adjust their positions.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
ââit seems they had been stimulated by the Lord of Infinite Origins and were now trying to do everything they could to grow stronger.
Gu Qing Shan walked to a corner, then took something out of this Inventory Bag.
It was a key that immediately gave off a faint dark glow as soon as it appeared.
According to Lachesis, it is the [Key of Myriad Deitiesâ Consent], which he could take to the Dusty World in order to retrieve a Divine Artifact.
âââa Divine Artifact that was jointly created by the power of millions of Deities.
Reneedol seemed to have known about this that she thought about killing Rhode in order to take this key.
Howeverââ
The situation isnât quite as it seemed.
Gu Qing Shanâs expression grew increasingly stranger as he examined the key.
Lines of glowing text were quickly appearing on the War God UI:
[Secret Key of Fate (fake)]
[Ability one: This Key can only be obtained by an unrestrained Deity]
[Ability two: Capable of opening a certain mundane storage unit and retrieve the item inside]
This key was fake.
It wasnât just the War God UI who said this, but someone else as well.
ââ-Lachesis.
When she handed me the key, she quickly wrote this word in my palm: [Fake].
In other words, this key was made for the specific purpose of deceiving Reneedol.
Lachesis wasnât willing to let Reneedol obtain that Divine Artifact!
What exactly is she trying to do?
Gu Qing Shan carefully pondered and recalled what the other party had said:
...
âAmong the three Deities of Fate, one is responsible for birthing Fate, one is responsible for ending Fate, while Iâm the master of Fate whoâs responsible for controlling the Fate of all Deitiesâ
...
Controlling all Deities.
She was the most powerful Deity, as well as the most unique one, not even the Lord of Infinite Origins could control her thoughts.
Gu Qing Shan slowly paced around the secret room while carefully thinking about each of the other partyâs words and gestures.
...Lachesis was most likely implying that the Divine Artifact she had was the real key to everything.
This made sense, as she was originally the most powerful among the three Deities of Fate, she naturally had to be the one who obtained the most powerful Divine Artifact.
However, she only gave me a fake key.
Indeed, this was done to deceive Reneedol.
Reneedol had mistakenly thought that the clue towards the third Divine Artifact was the key in my hands.
But thenââ
Where exactly would the most powerful Divine Artifact created by millions of Deities actually be hidden?
