Chapter 1499: Destined Fable

Chapter 1501: Destined Fable

Gu Qing Shan flew away from the Isle and headed downstream.

Suddenly, he saw someone slowly flying ahead of him.

—–Boss.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly went after him and called out: “Why did you come out?”

Boss was standing on the Book of Prophesized Destinies, breathing heavily: “Reneedol left with a female elf, I couldn’t feel assured, so I followed them”

Gu Qing Shan looked at him, then at the Book of Prophesized Destinies and understood.

——after telling the Destined Fable, Boss was so exhausted that he collapsed.

Right now, he doesn’t even have the strength to fly, having no other choice but to rely on the Book of Prophesized Destinies to fly.

Gu Qing Shan paused briefly before realizing something.

After returning to this era, Boss had lost his undying body.

Earlier, after I fought with all my strength, even though Scarlet had helped me regain some strength, I’m still considerably injured and drained, having only 10-20% of my usual strength.

If both of us were at our peaks, we might have been able to give it a try.

But in our current state, what can we do other than getting killed?

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze followed the river, only to see a layer of mist or something of the same nature drifting above the gloomy water in the distance.

It’s moving.

——-it seemed to be sentient, cautiously observing Boss and I.

Gu Qing Shan attempted to release his inner sight, only for it to be instantly cut off.

Unexpectedly, the layer of mist gradually scattered away to reveal the river and cliffs up ahead.

Miniscule strands of mist avoided the direction ahead, but gradually surrounded them from every other side.

Gu Qing Shan felt an inexplicable chill climbing up his spine.

——-it had moved out of the way but was carefully surrounding Boss and I.

Why did it curtly cut off my inner sight, but then opened the path forward while surrounding us?

Cutting off my inner sight was its first reaction.

This proved that it was hostile.

Gu Qing Shan turned to Boss.

Boss appeared completely exhausted, unable to even notice what was happening in the shadows.

——-Boss can’t even fly by himself and I can’t fight, so what will happen next?

Gu Qing Shan turned around.

Some of the black mist was slowly drifting towards the Isle of Protection.

“Gu Qing Shan, carry me for a bit, it’s really unstable standing on top of the Book of Prophesized Destinies like this” Boss continued to breathe heavily as he said so.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at him.

—-for some reason, he suddenly recalled the fable earlier.

Boss exhausted all of his strength to tell that Destined Fable.

Gu Qing Shan felt cautious.

He said to Boss without changing his expression: “I have something important I need to tell you”

“Huh? What is it?” Boss asked.

Gu Qing Shan grabbed Boss’s hand and pulled him closer.

A mass of white fog suddenly appeared to envelop the two of them, then quickly disappeared.

World Technique, [Fog Realm Descent]!

Instantly, the two of them had returned to the secret room in the Isle of Protection.

Boss called out in surprise: “Huh, why did you take me back?”

Gu Qing Shan looked straight into Boss’ eyes and resolutely said: “Because you couldn’t even fly by yourself, and I can’t fight properly. We’ll be heading to our deaths even if we caught up”

“Of course I already know what you’re saying, but now that history is no longer determined and even the future is being changed, I’m just worried that something might happen to Reneedol” Boss sighed and said.

“What can you actually do in your current state?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

He released his inner sight to scan around the Isle, quickly noticing the black mist as it crept onto the riverbanks.

Boss shook his head: “At least I need to know if she’s safe before I——-”

Gu Qing Shan cut him off and sternly said: “Boss, if we followed her, in the off-chance that something happened, it would be Reneedol who has to save us. Do you really think that’s worth a trip?”

Boss had nothing to say against that, so he sighed and sat back down.

Seeing him calm down, Gu Qing Shan took out a cushion, sat on it, then crossed his legs to enter meditation.

The two of them silently rested.

From beginning to end, Gu Qing Shan didn’t mention what happened earlier.

After a few moments, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: “Oh no”

“What’s the matter?” Boss anxiously asked.

“I forgot about Scarlet, she’s still waiting for me in the sky—– and Little Dusk as well, I also need her to be here, since I have something to tell her” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He stood up, walked to the door of the secret room, then rushed outside.

A few moments later, Little Dusk and Scarlet returned to the secret room with him.

“Shroud, why do you look so exhausted?” Scarlet asked in surprise.

“Telling that story earlier took a lot of strength” Boss had to answer.

Gu Qing Shan closed the door to the secret room, then used his formation plate to create an array of formations before sitting back down.

“Rhode, what did you want to tell us?” Little Dusk asked.

Scarlet also looked at him.

Gu Qing Shan pondered briefly and asked: “Little Dusk, why did you originally choose this place to establish a settlement for the refugees from the surface?”

Little Dusk explained: “I searched through many places and found that this place seemed to have been the divine palace of the Protection Deity from the Age of Myriad Deities—— it was said that her defensive capabilities were the strongest among the Myriad Deities”

“Was it really the strongest?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

“Indeed. If even this place would be destroyed, then none of the other locations in the Pantheon ruins would be able to handle the calamity” Little Dusk affirmed.

Scarlet exclaimed in surprise: “No wonder when I was practicing in the training room earlier, nothing was damaged regardless of which power I used”

Little Dusk continued: “Not only that, this secret room was considered the masterpiece of the Protection Deity, so sturdy that nothing would have been able to destroy it”

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

That fable——

If what Little Dusk said was true, then if we tried to run to other locations, we would only be in more danger.

Little Dusk added: “If there was anything stronger than this secret room, then it would be the Sacred Gate of the Myriad Deities. But that door required the power of gems to replenish itself, and because of the Myriad Deities’ Causality Laws, it could only remain inside that hallway, which was why I opted for this location in the end”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised, then casually took out a heavy door.

Doong!

A resounding noise was heard as the door was put on the floor.

“Do you mean this door?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Little Dusk opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise: “How did you take it with you?”

「 He said he wanted to take me to see the world 」the door answered with a low voice.

Gu Qing Shan patted the door and asked: “Explain for me a bit, how exactly do you work?”

「 Find somewhere that has a door, then put me on it, I’ll replace that door 」the door replied.

“What would happen then?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 After I replaced the door unless they fulfilled the Causality Law, no one would be able to look through the ‘realm’ that had been isolated by me, and naturally, they would also not be able to enter 」the door explained.

“Then, what if someone tried to go from another direction by either breaking the wall or digging underground?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

「 Don’t worry, no matter where they try to break in from, I would still be guarding that place 」the door proudly said.

Gu Qing Shan picked up the door, then pressed it against the door of the secret room.

Bam!

With a loud noise, the door attached itself to the original location of the secret room’s door.

The Sacred Gate said with satisfaction: 「 Ah—— this place is very sturdy; I like it here. By the way, do you have any gems? 」

“You already ate everything I had last time” Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 Without gems, how am I going to activate my Causality Law? 」the door said with a troubled tone.

Gu Qing Shan looked around, then told Little Dusk: “I remember Shroud giving you a few gems as a gift, can I borrow them? 」

Little Dusk was a bit surprised, then said: “Of course you can”

She took out the entire trunk of gems that Boss gave her earlier.

Gu Qing Shan picked up the trunk, walked up to the door, then quickly asked: “How many gems do you need?”

「 The more the better, every gem would strengthen the Causality Law further 」the door answered.

Gu Qing Shan poured the entire trunk of gems into the door

Boss felt like Gu Qing Shan was acting a bit strange as he watched him, but couldn’t really say exactly where the strangeness was coming from.

——–he appeared to be calm and collected as usual, but also a bit worried.

It wasn’t just Boss, but Scarlet and Little Dusk noticed it as well.

“What’s going on with you?” Boss asked him directly.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Right now, both you and I don’t have the strength to fight, so we need an absolutely safe location”

None of them could refute this.

After all, Shroud and Rhode were indeed the two strongest among them, it made perfect sense for him to pay attention to their safety when they can’t protect themselves.

However…

You’re the Death God, do you really need to be that cautious…?

At this point, the Sacred Gate uttered a satisfied groan, then said: 「 Alright, time to establish a Causality Law, what kind of person do you want to enter this room? 」

“Unless I permit it, no one is allowed to enter or leave” Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 Causality Law has been established! 」the door loudly declared.

The sound of a holy aria and prayers resounded from the void of space around the Sacred Gate.

These sounds slowly faded away.

Gu Qing Shan seemed to sigh in relief, then told Little Dusk: “Thank you, I’ll pay those gems back to you in the future”

Little Dusk shook her head: “There’s no need to do that——- I feel like this secret room is already very safe, why did you have to use the Sacred Gate as well?”

Scarlet and Boss both looked closely at him.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and explained: “It’s because of the Destined Fable that Shroud told earlier, I thought we would need an especially sturdy place”

Everyone recalled what the fable was, then suddenly realized.

Scarlet giggled, then patted Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder: “Rhode, I’ve thought that that the Death God would be such a wimp”

Boss also said: “The Protection Deity’s secret room, combined with the strongest Sacred Gate of the Myriad Deities, this certainly would be more than safe enough”

“No” Gu Qing Shan refuted: “This door needs gems, the more gems we have, the stronger the Causality Law would be—– do any of you still have gems?”

The three of them exchanged glances.

You want it to be even more sturdy?

Aren’t you a bit paranoid now?

Little Dusk cleared her throat and said: “——Rhode, I’m telling you, this is safe enough already”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “No, I know for a fact just how terrifyingly powerful Fate-related things can be”

Before he even finished, a series of strange noises could be heard.

The four of them all turned towards the Scared Gate.

A series of high-pitched sharp noises could be heard outside the door, as if someone was using their nails to claw at the door.

This noise was ear-piercing and continuous, almost as if someone was swinging a weapon against the door over and over.

As time went by, this noise grew increasingly louder and faster, until it finally sounded like the screeching of countless people.

This continued for a few dozen seconds, but the door stood firm, so the noise gradually subsided.

Everyone’s expressions changed.

“Who’s there?” Little Dusk furrowed her eyebrows and asked.

No answer.

Little Dusk stood up to go out and said: “Who exactly is playing such a childish prank, I’ll go take a look”

Gu Qing Shan firmly held her back after she had taken just two steps.

Little Dusk turned to Gu Qing Shan and gave him a questioning look.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything and simply shook his head.

Boss loudly asked: “Who’s there? Are you elf or giant? Or Reneedol?”

Still no answer.

For some reason, everyone felt an indescribable sense of eeriness.

Gu Qing Shan continued to remain silent as he stared straight at the door.

But he wasn’t calm at all.

After a long while, a whisper was heard from the other side of the door: “Open the door, hurry up”
