Chapter 355: Advent (1)

Proofreader:  Arya

Gu Qing Shan took out the 7-colored fragrance bag, penetrated it with his inner sight to search for an Ascended realm scripture.

The spirit energy disturbance from him breaking through a realm has already settled down, so it’s already time for him to breakthrough to Ascended middle stage.

He was a bit surprised.

Inside the 7-colored fragrance bag, a lot of things were randomly thrown everywhere.

Only the scriptures and materials for his, Qin Xiao Lou and Xiu Xiu’s cultivation were neatly lined up.

Gu Qing Shan took out a certain thing.

A jade tag with the character ‘Shan’ written on it.

He infused it with spirit energy to hear Bai Hua Fairy’s voice coming from inside.

“Choosing an Ascended realm scripture is exceptionally important. It’s directly related to how difficult it will be to breakthrough to Sainted realm”

“Qing Shan, this Green Dragon Ascension Script is one that I picked out for you after contemplating for a very long time”

“As far as I know, there were ever only 37 cultivators lucky enough to obtain this scripture, 9 of which were able to advance to Sainted realm, while 6 of them were either sword cultivators or martial cultivators”

“I myself once studied this script and confirmed that is truly is very suitable for sword cultivators to use”

“Qing Shan, make sure you cultivate this script carefully, since this will greatly benefit your prospects of becoming Sainted”

Her voice went away.

Gu Qing Shan’s lips curled up slightly into a faint smile.

During this life, the best decision he ever made was to enter Bai Hua sect.

Bai Hua Fairy Xie Dao Ling treats her disciples like she does her own family.

Because of that, she is also one of the people that I have to protect no matter what.

With his inner sight, Gu Qing Shan very quickly read through the jade tag from start to end.

At the same time, a notification popped up on the War God UI.

[Discovered cultivation scripture: Green Dragon Ascension Script]

[To completely comprehend this script, you will need to spend 200 Soul Points, would you like to spend it?]

“Yes” Gu Qing Shan answered.

A warm flow came from the jade tag into his arm, washed over his body before settling at his Thought Sea.

In a few moments, Gu Qing Shan had fully comprehended “Green Dragon Ascension Script”.

He closed his eyes and seriously restudied each and every step of the script.

After confirming everything was correct, Gu Qing Shan took out a top-tier Spirit Replenishing Pill and swallowed.

He then began his breakthrough to Ascended realm middle stage.

After fully comprehending the script, he was basically the same as an Ascended realm late stage cultivator who discarded his cultivation to start over.

He was only revisiting the realm.

Although it was past midnight, the light on Gu Qing Shan’s body shone brightly, illuminating the room like it was daytime.

Night passed, the first few rays of sunlight appeared from the horizon.

The light illuminating from Gu Qing Shan’s body slowly came back into his body.

He opened his eyes.

He’s now Ascended middle stage.

At this point, regardless if it’s his cultivation or swordsmanship, he’s already far surpassed the peak of his previous life.

Should I breakthrough to Ascended realm late stage now?

Gu Qing Shan contemplated carefully before giving up on the idea.

After all, the next realm is Sainted.

A clear border of power.

Countless cultivators are stuck at Ascended, unable to breakthrough to Sainted for their entire lives.

And at this point, since he’s only just broken through, his spirit energy is still a bit unstable, his body has also yet to get used to the power wielded by an Ascended middle stage, so it’s very easy for him to injure himself accidentally.

It’s better to wait for it to stabilize completely before he tries to breakthrough again.

[Sir, it’s time for breakfast, please take this time to eat and ensure your body receives enough nutrients] Impartial Goddess’ voice came from the Holo-Brain.

“Very well, please arrange a shuttle for me, I’ll leave for Fuxi after breakfast to watch Empress Varona’s coronation”

[Be assured, your shuttle has been readied]

…

The Holy Church.

The Seven Holy Apostles all knelt down on one knee.

Seven divine columns of light emitted from their bodies, concentrating in one place to form a blinding pillar of light.

The entire Holy Church was enveloped in this divine light.

A few moments later.

A person appeared on the Holy Church’s throne.

A looming pair of wings on their back, a glowing halo floating above their head.

A pure white robe and a thin veil that hides their face.

The Pope.

The Pope has returned.

She slowly sat down on the throne and spoke: “Unless it’s an emergency, I had forbade all contact, I’m sure you all know of this”

The Seven Holy Apostles nodded in unison.

The Pope sighed as she looked as them.

Seems like something did happen.

I failed.

From now on, I can only travel around the ocean of corpses, unable to enter Fog Isle again.

But I won’t accept that!

I’ve prepared so much, wasted so much effort, only to be pushed by a little girl to such a desperate situation.

Detestable!

But I haven’t truly lost yet.

That little girl must be a person from this world.

I have to think of a way to find her in Reality and kill her.

As long as she’s dead, the System will naturally return to me.

As for now, let’s see what situation here is first.

She then asked: “Very well, if you knew that and still called me back, tell me what exactly happened”

“The Confederate military officer that caused a scene at Madame Punta’s banquet has thoroughly escaped our findings” Great Holy Apostle Hurt reported.

The Pope’s faint questioning voice came: “Only that?”

Hurt knew that she was about to reach the point of anger, so he hurriedly: “That’s not it, this world itself has a problem, hell is upon us”

“Hell?” the Pope repeated that, a bit surprised.

“That’s right, a Frozen Hell” Hurt exhaled slightly and confirmed.

He then recounted everything that has happened recently.

The Pope sat in silence for a while before sighing: “The Fuxi Emperor, truthfully I understand his choice, but unfortunately he chose the wrong person to pledge to”

“So hell has a problem…” the Pope muses about it.

She leaned her cheek on her palm and fell into contemplation.

It seems like I really did have to return.

The situation on this side is changing so rapidly that I have to deal with it myself.

It’s impossible for this world’s power level to fight against hell.

I might have to leave sooner than expected.

But I spent so much time building all this, do I have to let it go?

She looked down at the church hall.

A bright, spacious large hall.

A group of zealous, absolutely loyal subordinates that she had just raised.

The sunlight shone on the tinted glass, illuminating the solemn sanctuary with a holy image.

Silent, warm, everything is in order.

Not only the church, but the country itself now belongs to her.

It’s so wasteful to leave right now.

I spent so much effort to obtain this body, take over this church, this country, and now I have to run?

Not to mention, I had just been chased out from Fog Isle.

Having to drift through space without a destination is a horrible experience.

Having to drift between the worlds is even worse.

The Pope stood up, clasping her hands behind her back and paced back and forth in the hall.

That’s right, the most important thing is that little girl.

When she returns to this world, I will have to find and kill her.

If she dies, I might still be able to overturn this.

So I can’t discard this world yet.

As for hell.

From what I’ve seen, nobody knows exactly what happened to hell.

Since the situation isn’t clear, if I leave like this, the price will be too heavy.

Maybe there’s only a small problem in Huang Quan.

Maybe the anomalies from hell will be dealt with very soon.

Let’s temporarily wait and see.

The Pope spoke after a while: “Varona is being coronated as Empress?”

“Yes, please see the screen, your holiness”

Saying so, Hurt projected a screen broadcasting the ceremony in a luxurious palace.

The Fuxi’s capital.

The royal palace.

According to the Emperor’s coronation ceremonies, Varona was escorted by guards, riding a chariot led by 8 horses to head for the Empire’s Holy Church.

In the church, the Bishop as well as numerous important officials of the Empire and other countries were gathered for the ceremony.

Varona was wearing a deep red royal cape, holding the royal scepter in one hand with a golden apple in the other, representing the reign of the Emperor.

She was currently professing her solemn oath to the statue of the sleeping death god.

[I represent the good of all our citizens, for the sake of the Empire’s happiness and safety, I swear…]

Watching this, the Pope spoke up in intrigue: “How interesting”

The Empire’s Holy Church was something the Fuxi Emperor built before they married.

This was his proposal gift to marry Varona from the Medici clan.

Varona Medici used to be a Cardinal when she was younger.

To impress her, the Fuxi Emperor had announced that he would dedicate a Great Church to the Holy Church in the center of the Fuxi capital.

This represents the Holy Empire, as well as Varona’s faith in the Holy Empire’s Holy Church.

Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean the current Holy Church.

The Pope silently thought about it.

Before, she was able to obtain this body because something happened to the original owner.

It was purely due to a stroke of luck.

Unfortunately, when she obtained the body, the original Pope was already nowhere to be seen.

So I didn’t have any memories at all.

On the screen, Varona was kneeling deeply in front of the sleeping death god, performance a sacred rite.

This will go on for white a few minutes.

The Pope’s gaze dashed around before settling on the statue.

The sleeping death god.

It is said that the death god watches over the Medici clan.

But from all the worlds I’ve travelled to, no such monster is called that.

Originally I wanted to slowly look into this after I took over the royal authority.

Unfortunately, nothing of note came up.

I only found two things.

First, the death god truly did exist in history.

Second, it is now sleeping.

But what IS the death god?

Why does the Medici clan worship it?

No one knows the answer.

It is said that only the Holy Empire’s king, as well as the true Pope knows about it.

The only thing that can prove its existence is one of Death’s Relic.

The Life Exchanging Contract.

The Holy Empire’s royal line passed this item onto Anna.

I’ve already put quite a few people out, but none managed to catch Anna.

Thinking about that, the Pope’s mood instantly became worse.

“Did Varona invite us?”

“She did”

“Ah?”

The Pope’s expression changed slightly.

This woman isn’t simple.

I’ve killed pretty much every member of the Medici clan, yet she still invited me to her coronation

Does she think I wouldn’t dare to attack her?

No… she definitely has something else in mind.

Seems like I’ll have to stay on this world for a while without neglecting it.

The Pope casually asked: “Fuxi’s banquet will be held at noon?”

“Yes, your holiness”

The Pope stood up: “All of you come with me, I want to know what Fuxi and the Confederate is planning”

“Roger, the shuttle has been prepared, awaiting your orders at any time, your holiness” Hurt respectfully bowed.

“Hmph, I want to know just how exactly does Varona plan to confront me” the Pope scoffed.

She glanced at the coronation on the screen one last time, feeling a bit annoyed without knowing why.

A sort of overwhelming power wafted around the air.

“Turn it off, nothing to see” the Pope ordered.

“Yes”

“We’re leaving”

The Seven Holy Apostles all stood up, about to make way for the Pope to leave.

On her way down, the Pope suddenly stopped her feet.

“Something isn’t right, and this isn’t me” she muttered.

“Your holiness, what’s the matter?” Hurt asked.

“Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lighting, Yin, Yang, Sound, all the 10 Elements are erupting, they’re filled with malice”

The Pope carefully sense around, then her face changed.

She shouted: “Quickly! Order everyone to their stations, it’s an enemy attack!”

“Roger!”

The Seven Apostles all took out their Holo-Brain to order their subordinates accordingly.

From out of nowhere, small sounds of explosions could be heard from afar.

The Pope waved her hand as 10 cards appeared from the void of space and fell into her hand.

She spoke solemnly: “Let us go see which ‘great one’ is upon us”

Hurt smirked coldly: “So someone dares to cause a scene at the Holy Empire’s capital, I want to —–“

Boom!

The ground trembled.

The entire roof of the Holy Church was blown away.

Numerous colorful lights floated in midair, almost as if dancing around in the sky.
