From-DIDIDA Novels
Gu Qing Shan lightly flourished his sword, tossing the body on the ground.
It was an unfamiliar corpse with completely white hair, he had also curled up completely while being rigid and cold, which suggested that he died quite a while ago.
An old man.
Reneedol couldn’t stop the Six Paths Great Mountain sword so she used this old man’s corpse to receive the attack for her.
——why would she be carrying a corpse like this around?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled the large featureless humanoid face behind Reneedol during their battle earlier.
Perhaps… this is related to that terrifying featureless humanoid face.
According to Reneedol’s earlier answer, that thing was a mutation that emerged from the Wings of Fate.
When I helped Little Dusk take back one of the two Wings of Fate, I didn’t expect that process to cause them to mutate.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze became heavy.
Since Reneedol was under the effects of [See you once again], she was probably not lying.
Not to mention—–
Gu Qing Shan suddenly remembered that Little Dusk had chosen the wing to help her grow stronger.
But countless years later, Little Dusk was able to turn Gu Qing Shan into a Card.
What did she say at the time?
Gu Qing Shan carefully researched his memories and finally recalled the situation at the time.
…
“From today onwards, you will be my one and only partner” Little Dusk said.
…
Partner—–
Companion.
That was clearly the power of the other wing!
Gu Qing Shan was silently shocked.
Among the two Wings of Fate, one helped its wielder grow stronger, while the other helped its wielder find the strongest companion.
When the two wings were divided, Little Dusk clearly chose to become stronger!
If Little Dusk had obtained an ability related to a ‘companion’, then what about Reneedol?
What kind of power did she obtain?
——most likely, that giant featureless humanoid face.
That would make perfect sense.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and felt all sorts of indescribable emotions.
Reneedol is definitely heading North.
She would search for the nonexistent Mara Heavenly King.
But it isn’t easy to kill her right now.
Even while I was wielding the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, I still felt an unimaginable sense of unease when facing that giant featureless humanoid face.
Even Reneedol herself was afraid of this ability and refrained from using it arbitrarily.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then said: “Luo Bing Li, head back first to protect Shroud and the others, I’m going to examine this corpse for a bit before I return”
“Sure” Luo Bing Li replied.
The Heaven sword flew into the sky and disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan crouched down in front of the old man’s corpse and carefully searched it.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qing Shan found two crystal rocks inside his pocket.
“Memory crystals?”
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
These were typically used to record images in the World Valley, never did he think that this old man would also be carrying the same thing.
Reneedol didn’t carefully examine his corpse?
Since she’s still a young girl right now, perhaps she’s still a bit hateful of corpses?
Suddenly, Boss spoke:
“This was the World Valley’s Grand Elder, the most powerful one among all the Elders”
“Are you sure?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“I can guarantee this. He very rarely appears but had once summoned both Reneedol and I—— never could I have imagined that he actually died at Reneedol’s hands” Boss replied.
After a moment of silence, Gu Qing Shan said: “Perhaps Reneedol felt that he was the strongest, so she killed him”
“Let’s take a look at what the crystals have recorded” Boss was eager to take a look.
Gu Qing Shan picked up one of the crystals and pressed it in his hand.
The crystal glowed.
A screen of light was projected in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Reneedol appeared on the screen.
She was cultivating, running, happily playing with Boss and the rest, completely clueless about the fact that she was being recorded.
An old voice spoke:
“Reneedol is too beautiful, the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my entire life. She makes me feel my youth once again, awakening my slumbering heart”
Everything after that was excerpts of Reneedol’s daily life.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and put this crystal down, then picked the other crystal up.
A different scene appeared.
Nighttime.
By the banks of the River of Fate.
Reneedol was looking straight at the screen and softly asked: “Grand Elder, you summoned me here so late at night, was there something you needed from me?”
A few moments later.
The old voice spoke: “Reneedol, you are the blessing of heaven, the girl favored by God, the most beautiful flower in this world. I can no longer control myself, I want to have you”
Reneedol’s expression was calm, then she suddenly smiled: “Grand Elder, I assume that no one else would be able to discover us here today”
“Indeed, they have all fallen asleep, and they’ll continue to sleep peacefully through the night” the old voice replied.
Reneedol lowered her voice and spoke: “Then what do you want me to do?”
The old voice fell silent and spoke in confusion: “I do not understand why I wanted to do this, but since it had gotten to this point, I——”
Reneedol cut him off and continued: “Show me your strength”
A black featureless humanoid voice appeared behind her.
The Grand Elder chuckled: “Naïve girl, perhaps you don’t understand. I am the one who stands at the peak of this world, your little tricks are useless to me”
Reneedol didn’t seem like she heard him at all and muttered: “It’s extremely difficult to control, exceptionally so”
“Normally, I would never release it, but since you’ve already done the preparation for me, I’ll gladly see what it could do”
The black featureless face slowly opened its mouth.
“Devour him” Reneedol excitedly said.
The screen flashed.
The Grand Elder suddenly uttered a panicked shout: “Wait a minute, what is this thing? Why ca——-”
Instantly, the screen began to spin around before finally disappearing.
The crystal went dim.
Gu Qing Shan was only able to see a curt scream right at the end.
He was stunned for a moment.
——that happened in the era before the Law Behemoths began fighting among themselves.
The strongest person in World Valley was so easily killed, by a young girl, no less.
My intuitions were indeed correct, that thing would have been extremely tough to deal with.
It directly ignored any difference in strength!
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Boss also sighed, then began speaking quickly: “I can’t be here for too long, so I can only tell you a certain thing in the short period of time that I can”
“What’s that?”
“Even when I was the Lord of Infinite Origins, whenever I looked back to the past, I would always find my memories of this period to be a bit unclear, as if I had forgotten about certain things” Boss replied.
“What do you mean?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss’ voice became stern and spoke in a low voice: “It means that what happened to me during this period of time had been hidden away”
“That’s impossible” Gu Qing Shan resolutely dismissed that thought: “You used to be the Lord of Infinite Origins, no one should have been able to unknowingly influence you or tamper with your memories during that time”
Boss replied: “I also hope that it was only some sort of misunderstanding—– for example because you time travelled to this era, there were certain things whose results have been confirmed, but the process was not——- I feel a bit uneasy”
“What are you afraid of?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“I’m afraid that someone might have influenced me without me knowing it” Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan was startled.
Boss continued: “In history, at midnight today—– which was this very moment, the Laws will gradually return to normal, and the Law Behemoths would once again respond to the summon of living beings”
Gu Qing Shan pondered: “Which means, you’ll be healed very soon——- and once again become the one with the most potential to grow into the strongest person in the world”
“Indeed, Reneedol would soon return to my side, but my memories during this period is a complete mystery”
“Not good!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted, then continued: “I’m going to return to watch over you right now”
He prepared to leap away.
Boss chuckled, then told him: “Gu Qing Shan, you’ll experience these next few days for the first time together with my past self, find out what exactly happened during this time for me”
“I’ve hidden the third Sealing Token at the very end of these few days”
“I’ll leave everything from this point onwards to you”
His voice disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan had flown into the sky and headed towards Shroud’s group.
Invisible fluctuations gradually spread all over the world.
The power of the Laws was rapidly returning.
…
At another location.
Reneedol had also realized the change in the Laws.
She was currently heading North when she paused and slowly turned around.
“The Laws are recovering… it seems that things have taken quite an unusual turn”
She turned towards Shroud’s direction.
Should I head out to look for the so-called strongest swordsman, or return to our previous location in search of Shroud?
Reneedol didn’t hesitate for long.
“I wonder if he had been killed by the people I’ve sent, if… he’s still alive…”
“——he would definitely become the strongest”
Having decided on this answer, Reneedol swiftly turned around and began running towards Shroud’s direction.
