Chapter 1531: There is no time

Chapter 1533: There is no time

Three minutes!

—–what can I do in three minutes?

Without taking the Reality Gate into consideration, the most crucial matter currently lies with the frozen world.

Following normal history, Reneedol would remain with Boss to re-establish the Pantheon, forming a new era.

But now that the two of them had completely turned against each other, this was impossible.

Furthermore, the strongest monsters of the void who coveted the corpse in the frozen world for so long had descended within the frozen world.

———how should I turn everything back to its original course?

With thoughts flashing through his mind, Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled someone.

The ruler of the Pantheon.

The Deity of Fate, Lachesis.

…

“To ensure that absolutely nothing goes wrong, I’ve hidden the most powerful Divine Artifact of Fate in the future in an era where there would be an opportunity to defeat our enemies”

“Once that moment is reached, you will sense the whereabouts of that Divine Artifact of Fate”

…

These were the words that she secretly left in the divine palace of Fate.

As someone who claimed to be the first Deity, the king of all Deities, the only one capable of truly witnessing Fate, the prophecy she used the life force of 8000 near-death Deities to foretell had always remained in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

——that Divine Artifact of Fate had still not appeared.

In other words, the present isn’t the moment where Fate had foretold that we would be able to defeat Reneedol.

“Gu Qing Shan, are you ready yet, there isn’t much time” the giant corpse called out.

Gu Qing Shan regained his senses and finally spoke: “How much help can you give me?”

“Gu Qing Shan, I can only help you with very minor matters—— the majority of my powers had been use to stall the vicinity of the Reality Gate—— the Awaitings, the Samsara fragments, and the countless Apocalypses, it is yet time for them to enter!”

The giant corpse sighed and said.

Gu Qing Shan grabbed a slender sword from the void of space.

“Two things, firstly, can I borrow your presence?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Presence?” the giant corpse asked with a strange tone.

“That’s right, what I’m about to do next can’t be disturbed by anyone, so I need to borrow your thunder [1]through some especially ferocious presence, just to scare them at a glance” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“That’s a small circus trick so it’s very easy to do, I can make sure that no one would be able to discern the truth——— but keep in mind, your strength won’t actually grow stronger with this” the giant corpse sighed.

“No need for any actual power, I just need that kind of presence” Gu Qing Shan replied.

A black piece of scale flew out from the giant corpse’s body, circled around Gu Qing Shan, then returned.

His presence abruptly rose.

An unimaginably ferocious presence exuded from his body, drifting into the surroundings like an intense gust of wind.

Even the black skeleton on the ground had to stop when they sensed his.

Gu Qing Shan observed his presence briefly and felt pleased

“That’s great, can you help me with one last small matter?” he asked.

“What is it?” the giant corpse asked.

“Help me wake this sword up”

Gu Qing Shan displayed the Heaven sword to the giant corpse.

The giant corpse reminded him: “I can give the last of my remaining power to wake her up immediately, but you should know as well, this sword of yours cannot turn everything back in turn——- at this crucial moment, not even I would be able to achieve such a thing”

“I know, please wake her, then leave the rest to me” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“I hope you’ve thought through how to deal with all of this” the giant corpse told him.

A piece of black scale peeled off from his body, flew in front of Gu Qing Shan, then entered the Heaven sword.

A second later.

Luo Bing Li’s voice could suddenly be heard: “Huh? Where am I? What’s going on?”

The Earth sword replied right away: 「 The current situation is quite tense, let me explain everything to you… 」

The two swords swiftly went silent.

“I’ve expended the last of my excess power, everything else will depend on you now” the giant corpse tiredly said.

“Alright, send me back” Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and said.

“—–I’ll tell you once again. From the very moment you return, you’ll only have a total of three minutes. If you still cannot return history to its original course, everything will truly be destroyed” the giant corpse replied.

Poof!

A blood-colored clock appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

“Pay attention, it’ll tell you how much time you have left. If time runs out—-” the giant corpse said again.

“Then everything will be over” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Indeed, leave stalling the Reality Gate to me, and I’ll leave the frozen world to you”

“Alright, send me back!”

An abrupt pulling force manifested behind him.

Gu Qing Shan was suddenly flung out of this barren world, rapidly flying through the boundless void as he returned to the frozen world.

Almost instantly, Gu Qing Shan found himself returned to the ground.

——he had returned to the frozen world, standing next to Boss.

Boss was clearly surprised to see him.

The Deity corpses facing Boss were also surprised.

“Huh? You’ve already won against that monster?” Boss asked in shock.

“How much time has passed?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“About ten seconds” Boss replied.

Gu Qing Shan went silent for a brief moment.

——-in other words, that something or other monster just now, its World Technique included even a function to slow down time.

In that case, if I was killed by that something or other monster earlier, it would have been able to pick the next target to enter its casino world right away.

——-in a short period of time, it would have been able to continuously kill its enemies one after another without stopping.

What a terrifying Causality World Technique…

I can completely imagine how it could almost always be unbeatable with this technique!

Its only mistake was choosing a sure-fail rule.

Tch.

What an unlucky child.

The Deity corpses facing them couldn’t help but roar:

「 That’s impossible, you killed the Formulator of Void Criterions? 」

『 The Formulator of Void Criterions isn’t such a weakling, what did you do to it? 』

「 Who exactly are you? 」

The presence on Gu Qing Shan’s body erupted.

Instantly, a mass of unimaginable ferocity radiated in every direction from his body.

Everyone went quiet.

——what a terrifying presence, enough to cause anyone facing it to lose their breath.

Everyone suddenly felt a delusion, as if they were an ignorant, innocent insect, while the one facing them was an apex predator.

The monsters couldn’t help but take a step back.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression was cold as he gazed towards the void of space in front of him.

Everyone couldn’t see it, but he clearly saw a blood-colored clock.

Tick, tock, tick, tock——-

The second hand was moving without pausing:

[2:37]

[2:36]

[2:35]

Gu Qing Shan gazed at the opposing apex void monsters and slowly soothed his expression over.

With a profound look on his face, he clasped his hands behind his back: “That one truly had an advanced and powerful World Technique, but he unfortunately ran into me—-”

He purposely gazed forward and coldly laughed: “When it came to World Techniques, I was much better than it was”

Silence.

The Deities corpses retreated a few more steps and stood together in a defensive formation.

One of the Formulator of Void Criterions’ strongest suits were its World Techniques.

And yet this young man managed to defeat the Formulator of Void Criterions.

How strong is he?

—–that can easily be discerned from his presence!

The monsters were all purposely avoiding Gu Qing Shan’s gaze.

Recalling what the Formulator of Void Criterions said earlier, they know that this young man’s World Technique was hidden in his eyes.

Taking advantage of when the other party was still wary and afraid, Gu Qing Shan quickly sent his voice to Boss:

“Boss, since the corpse had once released blood to create millions of Deities to fight against the Apocalypse, it must be sentient right?”

“That’s right, it can predict danger as well as react defensively” Boss replied.

Releasing blood to create millions of Deities, this was clearly a defensive reaction.

The void monsters might have measures to do one thing or another to the frozen corpse while it was in slumber, but who would dare to disturb it while it was alive?

“You’re the overseer of the seal, having stayed with it for countless years. You surely know the moments when it can threaten everyone here” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

“I do, there would be periods during history when it’s in a half-awoken state. If not for the seal, this corpse would have been able to exert unparalleled power” Boss replied.

“That’s good”

Gu Qing Shan turned to the blood-color clock again.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

The clock hands continued to turn.

Two minutes and twenty seconds left until total destruction.

“Boss, listen to me very seriously, I currently have a single solution that would allow us to leave this era, but still allow this era to remain as it originally was” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Tell me” Boss answered with a focused gaze.

“Now that we’ve learnt that the corpse would occasionally be in a half-awoken state—— I need you to tell me the most recent period of that” Gu Qing Shan said.

“About 54,700 years ago, counting from today. At the time, its thoughts were very active, and so was its hostility” Boss pondered a bit and answered.

Gu Qing Shan drew the Heaven sword from the void of space and tightly held it.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:

[Your Soul Points combined with my own stockpile of Soul Points totals to about 9.7 billion]

[To turn this frozen world back 54,700 years ago, a total of 10 billion Soul Points is necessary, we’re 300 million Soul Points short]

Gu Qing Shan paused.

I’ve already thought about the War God UI having stockpile Soul Points, but I didn’t think that it was still insufficient.

What now?

If I can’t do this, history won’t be able to return to its original course!

300 million Soul Points…

His gaze skipped through the Deity corpses in front of him and turned to Reneedol.

Reneedol was being protected behind the Deity corpses as well as the swarm of insects.

——while she still couldn’t move, she has the Fate armor, so it’s unknown whether or not she would be able to defend against the World Technique earlier.

Regardless, following the original course of history, she still can’t die just yet.

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze turned back to the void monsters.

There were a total of five void monsters.

I killed one of them just now.

——I’ve also killed the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate in the future.

The Matriarch of Myriad Earths also can’t die right now, since she still plays a part in history by researching the Pantheon tunnels.

Only two monsters remain.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

Time continued to move closer towards the collapse of reality.

Gu Qing Shan stopped hesitating and chose one of the Deity corpses, shouting: “Adorable!”

Xiu——-

A noise replied from the void of space.

Instantly, one of the Deity corpses disappeared together with Gu Qing Shan.

In the empty world.

A giant scales appeared out of nowhere.

Gu Qing Shan and the Deity corpse stood on two sides of the scale.

「 What are you—— 」

“Sorry, I’m in a hurry”

Gu Qing Shan moved the Bramble Bird ring on his finger.

Clak!!!!

Countless wealth poured out and instantly pushed the scale down.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[…Omitted]

[You obtained 300 million Soul Points]

[Only two targets remain until you obtain the ‘Void War God’ Title]

Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows twitched a bit and asked: “It’s supposed to be the combat synopsis, why did you only write ‘omitted’?”

The War God UI replied: [Time is limited, the System does not want to make more unnecessary comments on your shamelessness]

Gu Qing Shan’s expression didn’t change at all and replied: “So that’s was why, let’s return now”

[1] The original Chinese idiom is ‘the fox borrow the tiger’s majesty’, it usually means to bully the weak
