Chapter 1829: The High Deity is dead!

Translator: La009

“Chao Yin, you’re finally back!” Gu Qing Shan delightedly exclaimed.

The Chao Yin sword responded with similarly ecstatic chimes.

“That’s right, where are Heaven and Earth? Why don’t I see the two of them anywhere?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

The Chao Yin sword paused briefly before uttering a confused chime.

Gu Qing Shan said: “So you don’t know either?”

Oong!

Gu Qing Shan just glossed over the topic: “Alright, I’ll slowly search for them again, first we need to think of a way to get Shannu back- huh?”

He suddenly noticed that there was a small piece of black scale now attached to the Chao Yin sword’s body.

Crack!

The piece of black scale crumbled off of Chao Yin’s body before silently hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The giant corpse’s voice then resonated from the scale:

“That’s great, you’ve finally gone to rescue me. Now that [Du E] has succeeded, I’ll need a bit of time to thoroughly finish the technique”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Where are you right now? Do you still need me to help with anything?”

“I’m currently within the Samsara… I can’t tell you about what I’m doing yet, not until you grow stronger… or perhaps you don’t need to participate in the events that would follow at all. In truth, this will also act as a layer of protection for you”

The giant corpse continued: “Take this piece of black scale, it should be able to provide you help to some extent”

—Gu Qing Shan, the only thing you need to do right now is to grow stronger as fast as possible”

The giant corpse’s voice slowly faded away.

The black scale then fell limp, which Gu Qing Shan caught.

He sighed.

Grow stronger- – – – –

That sounds a lot easier than it actually is!

Mypath as a cultivator has already reached its end, as I’ve yet to hear of any cultivators reaching a higher realm.

When I asked Li An about this before, Li An said that the end ofa cultivators path is becoming a Heavenly Immortal.

– – – the legacy of the Heavenly Immortal cultivation has been thoroughly cut off.

IfI had been able to fully inherit the Heaven Realm Dharma, it would have been possible to derive a furtherpath of cultivation from it.

– – -but Shifu has already retrieved the Heaven Realm Dharma!

Alright, disregarding all of that, I still have the Supreme Sequence, allowing me to commune with Primal Chaos through it and receive unlimited Primal Chaos Reinforcements.

But who can predict that the Primal Chaos Reinforcements would be something like ‘soft hips’, ‘flexible shoulders’, and ‘iron head’.

– – – -can that even be considered growing stronger!?

Just by thinking about that, Gu Qing Shan could feel a headache coming up.

“Hey, Sequence, now that I don’t have any cultivation system to follow to continue growing stronger, don’t you have anything to say to me?” he asked.

The Sequence replied: [Aside from being the wielder of the Supreme Sequence, no other could even begin to imagine being able to obtain strength from within Primal Chaos, you should know when to be satisfied]

“Obtain strength? Are you speaking about ‘iron head’ and the likes?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Sequence remained silent, obviously determined to ignore him.

Unable to do anything about that, Gu Qing Shan could only give up on that idea and turned to the black scale in his hand.

Lines of bloody red text rapidly appeared:

[Ultimate Mystery: All Beings Equal]

[Attention, this is the ultimate ‘All Beings Equal’ technique, allowing you to thoroughly and completely become another being, changing everything so that you and your target are exactly the same]

[Nothing, including the Laws, would be able to differentiate you from the genuine article! ]

[Prerequisites: Mastery of the basic, intermediate, and advanced All Beings

Equal techniques]

[You’ve fulfilled the prerequisites]

– -This technique is a knowledge bestowal condensed into a black scale, as soon as you crush it in your hands, you’ll be able to comprehend and learn this Mystery technique]

Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan crushed the black scale in his hands.

A voice resounded in his mind:

“Gu Qing Shan, I presume that you will need this technique to reach the ultimate level, as only its ultimate form would be able to provide you cover from the Laws of the Samsara”

“You know best when and where to use it…

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and silently experienced the countless specific subtleties of the Mystery in his mind.

Over half an hour later.

A few lines of bloody red text suddenly popped up from the void of space:

[You’ve grasped the Ultimate Mystery: All Beings Equal]

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes and deeply sighed.

It was only now that he could understand the giant corpse’s implications.

-I really do need this technique.

He looked down at his surroundings, once again confirming that this was the entrance into Hell. As he went down further, he would see the 18 Hells layer by layer.

– – – -there are an innumerable number ofpowerful villains and unsavory people being imprisoned in the 18 layers ofHell.

While Gu Qing Shan was hesitating, a thin length of black thread emerged from the void of space, wrapping around his wrist.

This is Fei Yue’s [Threads ofFate].

Earlier, in the towerpagoda, she seemed like she had something to say.

Did she perhaps want to discuss something with me?

Gu Qing Shan turned his hand to grasp the black thread.

Fei Yue’s hurried voice was immediately heard:

“Hurry and see me at the Tie Wei Grand Mountain, quickly!”

– – – – -seems like something is going av•vw.

Gu Qing Shan put both Delimitation and Chao Yin away before leaving Hell in a flash.

The peak of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

Fei Yue first commanded numerous black threads to create an isolation barrier around them before she spoke:

“There’s been some changed in the situation of Huang Quan, I think it’s already reached the point where I need to discuss it with you”

“What happened?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Xiao Die is with the Bridge of Life and Death; the Ominous Demon Tower Master is working for the Gates of Hell; Demon Dragon is an in-house groom within the Hall of Reincarnation as a Punishment Division Lord; a while ago, the blind nun had also arrived, who we sent into the Forgetting River department after discussing it between ourselves- – – – this way, other than Hell itself, whatever happens in any of the 6 Departments of Hell wouldn’t be able to escape us” Fei Yue explained.

“I was actually most worried about information, considering the huge delay in my arrival- you guys have done a terrific job with that” Gu Qing Shan praised.

“Recently, as we collect information from the Departments, we’ve noticed something amiss” Fei Yue continued.

“What’s that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“The war of Huang Quan against the nebula monsters is trending towards defeat. Even considering the countless dead people you’ve reinforced our side with, when it comes to battlefield strategies, command, and moderation; the leaders of each Huang Quan Department have been putting in work without actually putting in any effort, while the monsters are growing increasingly stronger. In other words-

Fei Yue took a deep breath and concluded with a solemn tone: “Huang Quan is going to lose very soon”

Gu Qing Shan was shocked and asked in a heavy tone: “How could that be? You’re the Virtuous Deity of one of the 6 Departments, haven’t you gone to the frontlines yet?”

with reinforcing our base, so I can’t interfere with the frontlines” Fei Yue explained.

Gu Qing Shan found that reasonable.

He had heard about the Tie Wei Mountain Department being responsible for defending before; he had even thought that they were given that role because their namesake, the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, was simply too tough that almost nothing could break through it.

However…

Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up and started pacing around while muttering: “Demon Dragon fell into a predicament at the frontlines, and a new type of monster that could thoroughly devour the dead just happened to appear there; if I hadn’t saved him…

“What are you saying?” Fei Yue asked.

“Let me ask something first, how was Demon Dragon on the frontlines?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“He was the fiercest- many of our winning battles were under his direct command. Even his position of Punishment Division Lord was earned thanks to his war contributions” Fei Yue replied.

Gu Qing Shan remained silent for a few moments before asking again: “Have all the information you’ve gathered been screened for authenticity?”

“There’s something else, the dead people you’ve raised have all been sent to inconsequential war zones—— Huang Quan is truly on the verge of defeat already” Fei Yue added.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised to hear that.

He was busy with searching for Chao Yin and meeting up with the giant corpse, even making a trip back through Space-Time, so he hadn’t gotten the faintest idea of the war situation.

He walked up to the window and silently gazed towards the great Forgetting River flowing at the foot of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

“Give me your reports…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

From the void of space, the 7 Sovereigns of Death silently appeared, all Imeeling behind him and reporting their situations one by one.

Gu Qing Shan silently listened to them and confirmed that everything was exactly as Fei Yue said.

His gaze slowly became grim.

Fei Yue’s heart also sank.

When it comes to intuition, if even Gu Qing Shan has begun to make preparations, something big must be right at the horizon.

“Then what about Demon Dragon?” Fei Yue asked.

“Tell him about my identity and have him join Hell as well”

After saying that, Gu Qing Shan hurriedly prepared to leave.

“Wait a moment! We still haven’t finished our discussion, why are you leaving in such a hurry?” Fei Yue asked.

Gu Qing Shan abruptly turned around and said: “You possess the power of Fate and are able to directly sense a lot of things, so many of the other Virtuous Deities are wary or you—-

“Fei Yue, you need to be wary of your own safety during this immediate future period. I’ll send Duo Ming and Gou Hun to protect you, but you also need to keep a constant eye out to any changes in Fate. Furthermore, as soon as the blind nun, Xiao Die, and the Ominous Demon Tower Master arrives, I’ll send all of them to you for the sake of your protection as well”

Fei Yue was stunned and couldn’t help herself asking: “Why go so far?”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer her directly and instead said: “If the others are plotting something, as an outsider Virtuous Deity, I’m not fully cognizant of the matters of Huang Quan, but you aren’t the same. Your Fate abilities can investigate the truth of Huang Quan, so you’re currently in danger!”

“Hell is directly below the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, or rather- – Hell itself is part of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, so you and I are practically one and the same, absolutely nothing can happen to you”

“Then what about you? What exactly are you going to do?” Fei Yue hurriedly asked.

Gu Qing Shan firmly answered: “If someone had sold Huang Quan out and put the Huang Quan realm in peril, then the only thing I can do is—–”

He suddenly went silent.

Fei Yue also sensed something.

The two of them both dashed to the window and looked outside.

A colorful cloud of star dust had appeared in the sky of Huang Quan.

“They’ve already made it to Huang Quan!” Fei Yue exclaimed in shock.

Gu Qing Shan pursed his lips tightly without saying anything yet.

A large meteorite then suddenly descended from the sky and crashed into the Forgetting River.

A voice resounded from the Bridge of Life and Death, echoing across the entire

Huang Quan realm”

The High Deity is dead! J

Immediately after that, from the Forgetting River, the Hall of Reincarnation, as well as the Gates of Hell, and numerous other voices followed:

—-The High Deity is
