Chapter 758: Talking With Evil Creatures

How many worlds existed in the Age of Old?

Suddenly having such a question, Gu Qing Shan became somber.

“System, in this time period, beside the Primordial Heaven Realm, how many worlds were there?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The War God System replied: [This matter is irrelevant to the System, the System cannot answer you]

Gu Qing Shan insisted: “This is a very important question, I can pay you more Soul Points, just answer me”

The War God System replied: [You must seek out the answer to this question yourself, the System isn’t clear about information unrelated to itself]

Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to give up.

He paced back and forth on the airship, thinking a way to check other worlds.

At this point in time, the Primordial Heaven Realm was in the process of slowly dying.

All living beings on land were dead.

There were also no living beings under the ocean.

Gu Qing Shan was now stuck by himself at sea, where would he find information about this matter?

He carefully thought for a while before crouching down and placed his hand on the deck of the ship.

Besides cultivation scriptures, the cultivators from the Age of Old must have left quite a bit of historical and civilization records as well.

Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight quickly scanned the inside of the ship and meticulously searched among the huge number of cultivation scriptures.

A few dozen seconds later.

His eyes suddenly lit up and muttered: “Found it”

According to humanity’s records, only two worlds existed during this era.

The Primordial Heaven Realm.

The Primordial Wraith Realm.

According to legends, when the Divinities had just appeared, they used various methods to gain the trust of humans.

And the Divinities once entered the Primordial Wraith Realm as well to get in touch with devils and fiends as well.

But they failed.

Divinities then tried to experiment with devils and fiends but found that they were born from primal chaos and nature, sentient creatures that were basically manifestations of Laws. They had knowledge of the origin of the worlds and of all things, so they basically don’t believe in the existence of ‘Gods’.

This was all that was written about the existence of other worlds.

The Primordial Heaven Realm was held in the hands of the Divinities, so it was practically impossible for humanity to study the mystery of other worlds without the Divinities knowing.

Gu Qing Shan pulled his hand back and silently shook his head.

It seems …

There are things I have to find out myself.

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out two pills.

He put both of them in his mouth and formed a hand seal with both of his hands.

At Cryptic realm late stage, he was now able to breakthrough to Chaotic Star realm!

Immense spirit energy rose from his body all the way to the sky, connecting and triggering the Laws of the world.

Boom!

Thunder rang out.

Black clouds gathered.

The Heaven’s Tribulation was here.

…

Half an hour later.

The Heaven’s Tribulation ended.

Screeches, roars, and cries came from the void of space.

Various terrifying faces silently showed themselves from the void of space.

The evil creatures were here.

Gu Qing Shan looked around and spread his arm: “It’s been a long time since we last met, old friends, how have you been lately?”

No response.

None of the evil creatures responded.

The various fiends and devils surrounded the ship, coming out from the void of space one by one.

They were solemnly observing Gu Qing Shan like looking at prey.

『 How rare, new flesh to consume 』

A Fiend King licked his lips and commented.

「 That’s right, humanity was already close to being destroyed, if we don’t eat now, we won’t get any more chances 」a Devil King also commented.

「 Unfortunately, this one seems to be insane, we don’t know him, what is he welcoming us for? 」a female Devil King spoke up.

『 Don’t you dare steal from me, I want to eat him 』a Fiend King declared.

「 The limbs are mine 」

『 Leave me the head 』

『 I’ll take the torso 』

The evil creatures were deciding how to split their food.

Gu Qing Shan froze.

Hearing the evil creature’s conversations, he suddenly understood something.

He only got acquainted with the evil creatures in the previous era’s phantom image.

At the time, he began cultivating again from the beginning so he had many chances to meet with these evil creatures, slowly getting to know them over time.

But during this phantom image, this was the first time these evil creatures had encountered him.

This really is… awkward!

Gu Qing Shan facepalmed himself for a while before putting his hand down.

Inside the shroud of darkness, the evil creatures were already leaping in to eat him.

This was the moment for them to enjoy a feast of human flesh!

Having no other choice, Gu Qing Shan could only take out two longswords from the void of space.

“Fine, I’m not in a mood to slowly have a drink with you bunch anyways”

He sighed and muttered.

…

About 10 minutes later.

「 Damned brat, kill us if you dare, what kind of Tribulation are you facing like this! 」a Devil King cried out in grief and indignation.

Gu Qing Shan came forward and began to pound the Devil King’s head with his bare fists.

He kept on punching, again and again, only after that Devil King had fainted that he stopped.

『 Brat, I suggest you let us go. You only managed to win against us thanks to the suppression of the Heaven’s Tribulation 』a Fiend King coldly spoke.

Gu Qing Shan rubbed his knuckles, slowly walked over to the Fiend King, and began to stomp and kick the Fiend King’s weakest point.

One kick.

One kick.

One kick.

One kick.

One heavy kick!

The Fiend King was practically bleeding cold sweat, unable to say another word.

Gu Qing Shan finally stopped.

In front of him, all the Fiend and Devil Kings had their limbs chopped off and were neatly lined up on the floor of the airship.

After dealing with so many Fiend Kings and Devil Kings at once, Gu Qing Shan was feeling a bit tired as well.

He wiped his sweats and slowly sat down leaning on the airship.

The Lightning Tribulation above had already scattered, but the strong winds still hadn’t.

This meant that his Heaven’s Tribulation wasn’t over yet.

Because the evil creatures who were summoned by the Tribulation were still here on the airship, not a single one managed to leave yet.

Gu Qing Shan just sat there, spaced out.

He was constantly thinking about the matter of the Heaven realm and the Wraith realm.

A Devil King couldn’t wait anymore and shouted: 「 Brat! What exactly are you trying to do? 」

Gu Qing Shan stood up again and walked in front of the Devil King.

Taking a deep breath, he swung his fists.

The spirit energy-infused fists greeted the Devil King’s body again and again.

The Devil King was literally beaten speechless.

After giving him a beating, Gu Qing Shan returned to where he was before and sat down again.

He continued to sit still and space out.

The fiends and devils exchanged confused glances.

Had the last survivor of humanity already gone insane?

What do we do now? We can’t just keep staying here without knowing whether we’ll live or die.

The ones who sneakily attempted to leave this world were all bisected by a flash of his sword and killed on the spot.

Now that our limbs are cut off, it would take a lot more effort to return, we wouldn’t be able to do it instantly like before.

What should we do for him to let us go?

A female Devil King made her voice softer before calling out to him: “Young man, is there anything you need this humble one to do?”

Gu Qing Shan stood up again and walked to where the female Devil King was.

The female Devil King stared at him nervously, but forced out a seductive smile: “Whatever you want, this humble one will comply”

Gu Qing Shan looked at her and chuckled.

He finally spoke: “You already don’t have any arms or feet left, so I won’t make it hard for you, just tell me where you want to go, tell the truth”

The female Devil King was surprised.

The other Fiend and Devil Kings also didn’t know what to say.

So this one really is insane.

For evil creatures, a tempted human was the thing they feared the least.

Once you let an evil creature know that you want something, everything will become easy sailing for them.

No matter how righteous your goal is, they always have a way to lure you to the pit of corruption, slowly but patiently corrode everything about you until they finally take your soul away.

Only the most unique humans who can’t be tempted at all by any form of lust, greed, or otherwise are troublesome, evil creatures are powerless against people like this because they can’t tell what these people want at all.

「 I… am going back to Soundark Mountain Realm 」the female Devil King dryly answered.

“Alright then” Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 Can I go back now? 」the female Devil King asked.

“You can. Just tell me the way to get to Soundark Mountain Realm and I’ll let you go” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The female Devil King was surprised at first before smirking: 「 No problem, as long as you dare to actually go 」

The power of the Heaven’s Tribulation was currently suppressing her power so that she was only a single step more powerful than the one facing the Tribulation.

But if this mad man dares to come to Soundark Mountain Realm, I’ll make sure he curses himself for ever being born.

The female Devil King happily told him a long incantation and even advised him: 「 This incantation will require the use of Wind-infused blood to activate 」

「 Like this 」

The female Devil King paused briefly and spat out a small bit of blood.

Without limbs to use, she could only do that.

Gu Qing Shan silently memorized the incantation.

He then let her disappear without doing anything.

The other evil creatures look at him with expressions of disbelief.

Does this brat want to go to the realms of evil creatures?

He’ll definitely die if he dares set his foot there!

Gu Qing Shan casually turned back to look at them and spoke without changing his expression: “No need to hurry, I’ll have each and every one of you tell me how to get to your worlds in detail as well”
