Chapter 1846: Side-by-side once more
Translator: La009
The tomb river.
Gu Qing Shan sat on the bank of the river with a pondering look on his face.
Several lines of bloody red text were flashing in the void of space in front of his vision:
[Status: Forbidden]
[The two cities of Heavenly Palace and Star Gazer have been established, the Human realm Chosen Saint competition has ended]
[As the Death God, you are unable to enter the Human realmâs Clash]
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to carefully observe his surroundings.
A few dozen thousand miles away, a certain tomb had been unearthed, with 3 Chosen Saints lying inside.
They werenât breathing at all, clearly already dead.
A mass of black liquid flowed several times around them before condensing into the shape of a black lizard.
The lizard spoke in human language: As a reward for releasing me, Iâll leave your bodies intact J
After saying that, it began to climb up the stairs of its tomb without looking back, then entered the tomb river and disappeared without leaving any traces.
Gu Qing Shan simply observed and pondered for a while, before then vanishing from where he was.
He reappeared within the tomb, then reached down to pat the 3 Chosen Saints.
The 3 dead Chosen Saints immediately stood back up.
They all turned to look at the middle-aged man in front of them.
-the middle-aged man was clad in a profound power as massive and deep as an ocean, which manifested a sort of mysterious indescribable aura, one that was suffocating to even stand in front of.
Such power!
âYour grace, did you save me?â one of them spoke with gratitude.
âThank you, your grace- when that monster was released, I had thought that my death was unavoidableâ another spoke with a wishful tone.
The third one bowed: âMy gratitude for your rescue, may I ask how I should refer to you, your grace?â
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and replied: âI am Rhodeâ
Rhode?âââ all 3 of them spoke in unison.
âIndeed, although you might not know that name- well, Iâm the Death Godâ Gu Qing Shan said again.
The Death God.
Their joyful expressions instantly froze,
They slowly looked down behind themselves.
3 bodies were on the ground.
Their bodies.
â â â â â we really are dead.
The Death God is here to guide our souls.
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat: âFrankly speaking, youâre all already dead; but if your souls continue to remain here and happens to run into a soul-eating monster, youâll really die without a chance for redemption, so Iâm going to take you to Hell for temporary refugeâ
âAnd the payment for that-
He leaned down and plucked a few strands of hair from them.
At the very next moment.
Their surroundings changed.
Gu Qing Shan and the 3 Chosen Saints appeared in Hell simultaneously.
Leng Qian Chen looked at him with surprise and asked: âWho are they?â
âChosen Saints who diedâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
He patted the 3 peopleâs shouldersââ- all 3 of them had a look of shock, completely at a loss of words.
This individual is too powerful, regardless ifhe really is the legendary Death
God or not, they were no match for him.
Seeing how nervous they were, Gu Qing Shan chuckled: âNo need to worry, as soon as you die, youâre on my side now. Just stay here however you like, I still have business to attend to in the Human realmâ
After saying that, he vanished from Hell.
The 3 people were very confused.
Is this really the guidance of death spoken ofin the legends?
The Death God left, just like that?
They couldnât help but turn to Leng Qian Chen.
Leng Qian Chen didnât want to bother with them, but considering their identities as Chosen Saints, he couldnât help but sigh and spoke: âWelcome to
Hellâ
Gu Qing Shan has returned to the tomb.
He casually picked one of the bodies and held their head in his hand.
â â [Ultimate Mystery of All Beings Equal]!
His body gradually shifted and transformed into that person.
A few lines of bloody red text swiftly appeared:
[Youâve become the Chosen Saint: Zhang Jiu Jiu]
[Youâve obtained all of his memories]
[Youâve become a Human realm Chosen Saint and can officially participate in the exploration of the Human realm Origin Tomb]
[Attention: You are in the middle of Samsara Clash for Supremacy]
[If you are willing to expend a certain amount of Merits, you will be able to grasp some of Zhang Jiu Jiuâs abilities]
[Will you expend Merits?]
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
I donât need any abilities, only his identity.
He exited the tomb step by step.
The black lizard still hasnât gone too far away, it abruptly turned around and came back onto shore.
The lizard was looking at him with a surprised expression.
r How can this be, you are already dead J the black lizard questioned with a heavy tone.
Gu Qing Shan didnât care about the lizard and instead silently determined his location.
â â -I already entered the Origin Tomb once before.
At the time, the old pixie and I found a map from the Cambrian civilization inside ofa certain tomb.
How do I make my way back thereâŠ
Seeing how unguarded he was, the black lizardâs eyes briefly flashed with maliciousness.
It abruptly leapt forward and transformed into a mass of black ink, trying to envelope Gu Qing Shanâs body.
Gu Qing Shan remained still.
While the ink was still flying, it abruptly trembled and fell to the ground before transforming back into a black lizard.
r You⊠J
The black lizard fearfully spat out a single word before suddenly exploding.
It was dead.
A sword clad in a faint yellow aura slowly appeared out of thin air before giving off a ring of contempt.
The Chao Yin sword.
Because the other party transformed itself into liquid, Chao Yin invoked [Ocean Reign] and commanded it to explode.
This was the simplest method of killing an enemy.
Gu Qing Shan didnât care about that minor intermission at all; he had managed to determine the direction he should go in, but was still pondering his plans and countermeasures.
The previous Heavenly Emperor had never failed a single time before, nor has he left anything out ofhis calculations.
He had taken even the revival ofhumanitys Ultimate Soul Artifact of War into account, so how could he notpredict the events that would follow? Even our efforts so far havenât managed to escape the palms ofhis hands.
â -but there is one piece ofgood news.
The previous Heavenly Emperor is being stalled by the giant corpse.
The Samsara Heavenly Tome has been lured away by Shannu into the
Boundless Void, so it probably shouldnât be able to return for the time being.
And also, with the Huang Quan High Deitys help, Xie Dao Ling should be able to hold on for now.
Then, what I should do right nowis to try and break out from the previous Heavenly Emperors calculations.
Only by taking him by surprise would I be able to deal a significant blow.
âŠAnd among the myriad realms, only a pixieâs train of thought would never be predicted.
All I have to do is find a pixie!
But even Gu Qing Shan felt a headache as soon as he thought about the pixies.
After grasping [Divine Guidance], the firstperson I summoned was Shroud. Originally, I wanted to summon one of the Awaitings for the secondperson. But now, it seems I have no choice but to summon a pixie first. After all, when I originally entered the Human realm Origin Tomb, Ipractically forced my way in thanks to the old pixieâs [Play Dirty] Quipcraft.
That was most likely unexpected even for the Heavenly Emperor.
With all that in mind, Gu Qing Shan silently invoked [Divine Guidance].
The void of space started to shift.
A familiar figure appeared- â â
The old pixie.
While wearing a dark blue onesies that was adorned with stars, the pixie yawned and asked: âDid you come up with another money-making scheme?â
Gu Qing Shan replied: âYeah I did. This time, weâll probably need to rely on you in order to overcome this troubleâ
The old pixie pulled out a jar, brushed his teeth, then his bread, and finally changed into a colorful coat before happily waving his stick: âThis time, can I go all-out?â
âYeah, youâre no longer limited to one ability, my summoning ability is stronger than the previous time, so you can go all-outâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
As they were speaking, some noises could be heard from afar.
A giant monster clad in leather armor was slowly approaching them as it followed the flow of the tomb river.
r I smell⊠the living⊠]
The giant monster mumbled as it looked at Gu Qing Shan and the old pixie.
The old pixie shrugged and put his stick into his sleeves before speaking: âIâll leave the fighting to you, Iâm afraid of dirtying my pajamasâ
âNo, from now on, you need to be responsible for combatâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
âHuh? But Iâm not a combat expert at allâ the old pixie exclaimed with surprise.
âItâs ok, Iâve made up my mind. From this moment onwards, I wonât personally act at all to avoid anything and everything from sensing my existenceâ Gu Qing Shan explained.
The old pixie was startled: âArenât you being too careful? And us pixies really donât know how to fight head-onâ
He then looked at the giant monster that was over a dozen meters tall and frowned: âIâm only the size of a thumb, if you tell me to go and beat that, that feels like a really tall orderâââ
Without waiting for him to continue, Gu Qing Shan reached out and lightly touched him with his finger.
From the void of space, a long list of bloody red text rapidly appeared:
[Youâve initiate Army Support Mode] [Youâre invoking Army Buff (basic)]
[Youâve invoked the following army buffs:]
[Powerful, Stone Skin, Intelligence Up, Precision, Armor Penetration, Recoil
Down, Knock Back, Toughness, Focused Mind, Basic Good Luck, Vitality

Mutated 5 Elements Absorption, Intuition, Secret Code, Curse Removal,
Marking Removal, Antimagic, Antidemonic, Giant Killer, Beast Bane, Spirit
Realm Sensory, Find Trap, Summon Break, Unfailing Body, Demon Addict Form, Super Vision SoulâŠ]
Numerous notifications appeared, then disappeared just as quickly.
The old pixie was stunned for a brief moment.
His pink coat that was decorated full of cartoonish drawings started to flutter despite there being no wind.
An aura of immense strength radiated from his body.
The old pixie examined himself briefly before turning to Gu Qing Shan:
âI⊠now have⊠over 9999 extra buffsâŠâ
Gu Qing Shan asked: âAre you more confident now?â
The old pixie turned his gaze back to the monster.
âI can tear that thing apart with my bare handsâ
