At the very last split second, Gu Qing Shan could see the glowing cloaked skeletonâs body.
The glowing cloaked skeleton had clearly discovered the disturbance on this side as well, so his glowing cloak was fluttering in the wind as he rushed towards Gu Qing Shanâs direction.
Instantly, the portrait created by the 13 Cards turned to dust and vanished.
This meant that the scene on the other side had also disappeared, and what the glowing cloaked skeleton wanted to do had also been interrupted.
But it had explosively exerted some sort of power that caused a chain reaction on Gu Qing Shanâs side despite the distance.
Boomââ
Gu Qing Shan, Lord Bloodsea, and Dead Fatty were all sent flying from the impact, crashing through the wall and back into the bedroom.
Dead Fatty stood back up and examined his entire body.
ââfortunately, the 13 Cards had been destroyed, so the attack did not actually travel across space to reach us.
Dead Fatty sighed in relief and looked around to notice that no one outside had reacted to it either.
He raised a signboard:
[Thatâs great, thatâs great, brother Gu had set up a good soundproof barrier]
Gu Qing Shan also climbed back up from the ground and was checking on Lord Bloodsea.
Lord Bloodsea wasnât injured at all, but he had fallen unconscious.
âDead Fatty, help me see what happened to himâ Gu Qing Shan called out.
Dead Fatty examined him shortly before raising a signboard: [Heâs fine, but since he was the owner of the Card deck; when the entire deck was destroyed, he was also affected. Most likely, itâll be a bit of time before he recovers]
âThatâs good enoughâ Gu Qing Shanâs heart calmed down.
He laid Lord Bloodsea neatly back onto the bed before turning to the small black book in his hand.
ââthe Condemnation Codex has welcomed a new powerful Heroic Spirit.
She has an irreconcilable grudge with the Apocalypse, as well as one of the owners of authority within the Twin Rivers of Life and Death system.
ââshe is our natural ally!
Gu Qing Shan opened the Condemnation Codex.
He saw a completely new Card in his empty Card slot.
The peerlessly beautiful woman continued to keep her eyes closed while standing in the middle of the Card.
She seemed to be reciting some sort of incantation.
The bright red glow of the Blood Sea continued to radiate from her body, slowly being converted to black.
ââ-the theme color of the Condemnation deck was black.
Lines of description appeared below the Card:
[Heroic Spirit Card: ???]
[Divine grade, unique Card]
[Description: Only when this Heroic Spirit directly informs you her name and her abilities would you be able to learn of the corresponding information]
[Attention: This Card had been previously injured and was in the middle of healing, and she also needs a certain amount of time to train and get accustomed to the Condemnation Codex, so she is currently unable to answer your summon]
Gu Qing Shan understood.
ââany Divine-class entity was like this, they must willingly tell me their abilities in order for me to know.
The twin swords Heaven and Earth were the same, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword was no different.
Gu Qing Shan slowly closed the Condemnation Codex and sighed.
The course of events had changed so rapidly that it had surpassed his expectations.
âDead Fatty, thereâs actually no need for you to live here, itâs very dangerous to follow meâ Gu Qing Shan said.
Dead Fatty helplessly put up a signboard full of words:
[Brother Gu, those monsters now know that you and I are on the same side, and I was summoned hereâââ without your power, I would be transported back to the River of Death in a heartbeat, are you going to cruelly let me die over there?]
Gu Qing Shan couldnât refute that.
And also, Dead Fatty is a great ally in combat.
The only complication is the fact that he normally canât talk
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and said: âDead Fatty, what do you say I think of a way to help you communicate without needing to write wooden signs?â
Dead Fatty appeared extremely delighted and immediately raised a signboard: [Brother Gu, if thereâs such a thing, Iâll be grateful for you until the end of my unlife!]
Gu Qing Shan moved the Bramble Bird ring, searching around the Technological treasure vault for something of that nature.
ââ-I canât use products that would directly turn brain waves into sound since that would still activate the Dragon Hex.
Then the only option left is a relatively antique item...
Gu Qing Shan searched for a while and found what he wanted in the âantique vaultâ.
However, a lot of them were usually either too big, or too inconvenient to carry around, so it wasnât suitable.
Finally.
Gu Qing Shan found a suitable one and took it out:
âHere, put this on your head and itâll automatically attach itself without falling downâ
[Whatâs this toy?] Dead Fatty nervously raised a signboard.
âA simplified professional concert speaker, a Technological product specifically designed to make soundsâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
When it comes to technology, Dead Fatty had all the reasons to trust Gu Qing Shan.
After all, he had seen how Gu Qing Shan used those technological weapons to massacre the dead army.
He received the speaker from Gu Qing Shanâs hand.
[Speaker? I know very little about Technological products, but why is a speaker shaped like this?] he raised a signboard and asked.
âThis is called a baseball capâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Why is it green?] Dead Fatty raised his signboard again.
This time, Gu Qing Shan lost his patience. Laura was originally not too interested in Technological products, he had to search for a while for a single one that fit all the requirements, and Dead Fatty was still complaining.
He urged: âGreen represents environmental protection and nature, it carries a very good meaning, now wear it if you want to talk!â
Dead Fatty then put the speaker cap on his head.
He casually summoned a water mirror to check himself out and nodded in satisfaction.
ââif nothing else, this cap is still very cool looking, itâs just that the color is green, so itâs not very impressive either.
[Just a speaker wonât be enough, I still canât speak, brother Gu] Dead Fatty raised the signboard again.
Gu Qing Shan continued: âDonât be so impatient, have you ever come into contact with Technological-type video games and such?â
[Iâve played a few games] Dead Fatty honestly raised a signboard as an answer.
âGood, then this will make this much easier to understandâââ
Gu Qing Shan moved the ring and took out another item.
âThis is called a keyboard. Once I wirelessly synchronize it with your speaker, you only need to type for the cap to talk for youâ he explained.
Dead Fatty excitedly replied: [Brother Gu, you really are my good brother, I know how to typeâââ but Iâve never imagined you can use it like this!]
He hurriedly urged Gu Qing Shan to connect the keyboard and speaker cap.
The keyboard was light-powered, so it could continuously work as long as there was light.
The green professional concert speaker cap was the same, capable of converting any source of light into energy.
ââ-everything was finished being set up.
Dead Fatty then tried typing something into the keyboard.
The green cap on his head began to speak in a solemn voice: âThis is a small step for me, but a large step for the dragon raceâ
Dead Fatty stood still for a while, feeling so excited that he could cry.
Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder and said: âNo need to thank me, just help me take care of this place for a whileâ
Dead Fatty was surprised and quickly typed: âBrother Gu, what do you want to do?â
Gu Qing Shan smiled, but his expression was a bit solemn.
âIâm going to meet up with a crucial comrade. Just help me stand guard outside the door, donât let anyone enter this room.
âAlright, no problemâ Dead Fatty typed.
He brought the keyboard outside with him.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a while and took out a formation plate.
After arranging several dozen layers of defensive formations, he sat down on the floor and leaned on a wall.
âShannuâ he called out.
A sword appeared from the void of space, manifesting into an aloof maid.
âGongzi, Iâm hereâ
Shannu cautiously released her inner sight to check their surroundings and replied.
âThe changes in Space-Time are too rapid, I need to take a gamble and see if that entity would be able to see me or notâ Gu Qing Shan explained.
Shannu seemed confused: âGongzi, youâve already rescued the Blood Sea Heroic Spirit, what else are you worried about?â
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: âSu Xue Er had clearly said that the Apocalypse would only break through the Blood Sea after two days, but as soon as I escaped the encirclement, the Blood Sea had already been destroyedâ
Shannu thought briefly and asked: âDoes gongzi think that your [Distortion] has caused Space-Time to become full of variables again?â
Gu Qing Shan sighed and replied: âI am. This was the same as when I was reborn, everything in the future of the timeline had become chaotic, they would no longer occur in their original order, but rather become unpredictableâ
âThen what do we do now?â Shannu was anxious.
âThis is an extremely important matter, so I have to think of a way to see somethingââ relying only on the Death Dragon watching over me isnât enough, Iâll leave my safety to youâ Gu Qing Shan told her.
âDonât worry, gongziâ Shannu replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, formed a mind-calming seal with his hand, then fell into deep meditation.
Not too long after that, he entered a state of absolute immersion.
He was practically defenseless at this point.
If the Death Dragon wasnât outside to guard the door, and if Shannu wasnât guarding in front of him, anyone would be able to easily take his life.
ââ-of course, in this state, any entity who wanted to see him through a unique method would find it very easy to lead his soul vessel away.
Time slowly passed.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
...
Fifteen minutes later.
Right at this point, a strong suction force appeared from the void of space.
Gu Qing Shanâs soul vessel was instantly pulled out of his body and flew into the endless void, swiftly vanishing without a trace.
