Chapter 762: War God Linkage

After Gu Qing Shan threw the String of Law out, it quickly dissolved into the void of space.

The 5 Elemental Laws of the Cruel Bone Devil realm were melding into the Xie Qi Fiend Realm from the outside deep into its core Laws, moving the two worlds closer.

In the beginning, nothing happened.

But soon enough, more and more fiends and devils noticed the battle from earlier.

Around the ruins of the palace, various fiends and devils had already gathered to see what was going on.

The fiends and devils who came there early were telling the others of how the Xie Qi Fiend King tortured the Cruel Bone Devil King.

No one ever expected for the Xie Qi Fiend King to win against the Cruel Bone Devil King.

Furthermore, the Xie Qi Fiend Realm was the preferred entertainment venue for many evil creatures, a place where news was said to travel faster than light.

Not too long later, all the other evil realms would be informed of what transpired here.

But right now, a magnificent sight was appearing.

The evil creatures were screeching from shock and fear.

Gu Qing Shan and Shannu both looked up to the sky.

A huge stretch of land that blocked out the sky had appeared.

It silently but quickly flew towards the border of the Xie Qi Fiend Realm.

Ooom—-

Under the watchful stares of the evil creature, the stretch of land fused and combined with the Xie Qi Fiend Land into one.

The miraculous change continued.

Below Gu Qing Shan’s feet, a glittering shiny gem sprouted from the ground.

『 Demonic Originite Gem! 』

A fiend shouted.

This was a powerful resource within the evil realms, it can be used to conduct their miasma and help perform powerful spells and techniques.

The World Origin of the barren Xie Qi Fiend Realm, after fusing with the Cruel Bone Devil Realm, became more powerful and prosperous.

Numerous strange and rare items sprouted in various places in this world, both from the ground and the air.

The evil creatures began to scatter and snatch whatever treasures they could.

Right away, the entire Xie Qi Fiend Realm became chaotic.

“Gongzi, they’re taking the treasures of this world” Shannu reminded him.

“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied but was still silently sensing the changes of the world.

Shannu sounded a bit annoyed: “Gongzi, you’re now the Fiend King of this world, those treasures should all belong to you”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “It’s ok, more and more evil realms will soon be fused into this one, and these evil creatures will also belong to———”

He suddenly stopped and showed a joyful expression.

“I can feel… my power quickly increasing!” he muttered.

The feedback of the World Origin had arrived.

This meant that this world recognized his status as a Fiend King.

Just as Shannu said, he was the one responsible for the fusion of the two worlds, and since he was currently the Xie Qi Fiend King, a bit of the world’s Origin was granted to him in response.

Gu Qing Shan quickly gave Shannu a formation plate.

“Shannu, guard me”

“Yes, gongzi”

Shannu then began to arrange layers upon layers of defensive formations.

She prepared the strongest formations that Gu Qing Shan knew, then stood by Gu Qing Shan with both the Chao Yin sword and the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in her hands.

Gu Qing Shan had already closed his eyes and manipulated the Origin he received to help him increase his cultivation.

His spirit energy wasn’t turbulent at all, it was in a calm and settled state, it was stable, silently increasing like a lake after a long night of rain.

Gu Qing Shan put his hand on his Inventory Bag, chose a Chaotic Star realm cultivation scripture from the mega-sized jade tag that Xie Gu Hong gave him, and used Soul Points to completely comprehend it.

In just a few moments, the method to break through all the stages of Chaotic Star realm was engraved in his mind.

Gu Qing Shan did as the scripture taught and guided the increased spirit energy inside his Dantian to quickly circulate around his body.

He reached Chaotic Star middle stage.

And Chaotic Star late stage immediately after.

…Just a bit more and he would breakthrough Chaotic Star realm and reach Origin Aspect realm.

His spirit energy was still as stable as ever.

The increase in power from the World Origin made it so that Gu Qing Shan’s body and soul vessel were both in peak conditions.

——which meant that he would be able to continue breaking through!

When Gu Qing Shan tried releasing his inner sight, he found that the range of his perception had increased, and his sense of perception itself had become a lot more vivid and clear.

This was good news.

Because the two movement techniques he knew both relied on the range of his inner sight to perform better.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sighed emotionally.

The fact that Bai Hua Fairy was able to rapidly advance through the realm was partly due to her overwhelming talents that can even cause the Divinities to feel envy, but the other part must be due to the overwhelming benefits of fusing worlds.

Various cheers could be heard coming all around the Xie Qi Fiend Realm.

The fiends that had originally inhabited this world will also have obtained the feedback of the world and grew stronger.

The entire Xie Qi Fiend Realm was becoming more powerful.

Standing there, Gu Qing Shan slowly grinned.

His grin was becoming wider and wider until he couldn’t help himself laughing out loud.

“Gongzi, what’s going on? Is there something funny?” Shannu couldn’t help but ask.

“Shannu, you should know this. When a Heaven’s Tribulation is triggered, the strength of many of the Fiend Kings and Devil Kings who comes at its summon will be restricted so that they are only one step stronger than I am——- and they will come to take my life during the Heaven’s Tribulation”

“Yes, gongzi”

“But this way, none of them will be able to win against me, and I won’t need to be so careful and choose the weaker evil realms to declare war on”

Gu Qing Shan was still grinning as he spoke: “This way, I won’t even need to go anywhere, I’ll just trigger the Heaven’s Tribulation and summon them here. Wouldn’t I be able to harvest the mutated Elemental Roots of many evil realms quickly and efficiently?”

Shannu froze.

Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tight and praised: “The name [Heaven’s Tribulation] truly is accurate, in the name of Heaven, I shall take the World Origins from the Fiend Kings and Devil Kings as Tribulation!”

Shannu was shocked looking at Gu Qing Shan, then hesitantly spoke: “Gongzi… that’s not what Heaven’s Tribulation is supposed to mean…”

“Don’t worry about it, for us right now, that is what it means”

Saying that, Gu Qing Shan circulated his spirit energy to try and connect to the Laws of heaven and earth.

But since this world was still undergoing world fusion, the Laws of heaven and earth weren’t able to manifest a Heaven’s Tribulation yet.

In other words——–

The world couldn’t react in time.

If he took this chance, Gu Qing Shan would be able to ignore facing the Chaotic Star realm’s Heaven’s Tribulation entirely and move onto the next realm.

This was quite a rare situation to be in.

After thinking briefly, Gu Qing Shan realized what was happening.

And he pulled his spirit energy back, postponing his breakthrough.

——-without a Heaven’s Tribulation, the Fiend Kings and Devil Kings would not come here, and I wouldn’t be able to quickly collect the Elemental Roots of various evil realms.

What? You want me to go to their worlds and beat them one by one?

That’s way too slow.

Using Heaven’s Tribulation is a lot more efficient.

Gu Qing Shan silently waited for the world fusion to end.

Right now, he needed a Heaven’s Tribulation.

While waiting, he suddenly recalled something.

The Heaven sword’s location is now clear.

I’ve already found out what the Desolate monsters and Divinities are planning as well.

The fusion of the two evil realms has proven that I can use it to increase my cultivation.

A lot of things are now crystal clear.

Then——-

Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI and glanced at one of its icons.

This icon was unique as it depicted the figure of him fighting with swords in hand.

[War God Quest]

In Triste’s collection world, Gu Qing Shan managed to trigger the change of a [Destiny Quest] and turned it into [War God Quest]

The help that [War God Quest] provides wasn’t simply a better Quest reward.

During the process of the Quest, [War God Quest] will temporarily provide him a method to use his Soul Points that was available only during the Quest.

Last time, Gu Qing Shan received [Iaido], giving him the ability to increase the power of his Skills.

Although this ability was lost after the Quest was finished, during several crucial points before that, [Iaido] became extremely useful more than once.

And now, the conditions should already be met…

It’s time to activate this unique power again!

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and spoke: “System, we’re going to issue a Quest”

The War God UI lit up.

The icon for [War God Quest] appeared at the center of the UI.

Three lines of glowing text appeared under the [War God Quest] icon.

[Where your sword points is also the objective of the System’s Quest]

[War God Quest is about to be activated, please state the ultimate objective of your Quest]

[Note: The more difficult the Quest objective, the more complicated the process of finishing the Quest is, the more powerful the Soul Points usage method provided will be]

Gu Qing Shan said without hesitation: “Our Quest objective is to obtain the Heaven sword”

The War God UI paused briefly.

The icon for [War God Quest] begins to give off a bright circle of light.

After that, various lines of text appeared to state the details of the Quest.

[According to known intel, the War God Quest has been issued]

[Quest description: This is the requiem of humanity from the Age of Old. Desolate monsters and Divinities have formed a treaty to hunt down humanity to extinction, and they were close to achieving this. But during the last few moments of the era, humanity managed to forge the twin swords Heaven and Earth. It is said those he who wields the twin swords will eliminate all the Divinities who once oppressed the human race]

[Quest details: During the moments of humanity’s extinction, you traveled through countless years with a powerful enemy behind you, as well as various methods of suppression and elimination prepared by the Desolate monsters and Divinities ahead of you. You must defeat all your enemies and win against all odds in order to obtain the Heaven sword]

[Quest objective: Obtain the Heaven sword]

[Quest reward: The difficulty of this Quest far surpasses everything that you’ve ever gone through before, deeply influencing the fate of humanity, or perhaps the fate of all living beings as a whole. In consideration of this, the War God Quest will perform linkage with War God Title and arrange an appropriate Quest reward according to your performance]

Below the War God UI, the icon for [War God Title] slowly floated to the center of the UI and combined itself with the Quest.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

Linkage?

Both [War God Quest] and [War God Title] would participate in the same Quest, this was the first time I’ve seen such a thing.

A few moments later.

New lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.

[Note: You hold the duo identity of being both human and Devil King. You created an unprecedented technique that is the Iris Sword and began to study sword techniques above the realm of Sword Saint ahead of time. The strength and mercilessness of your name have become widely known to all evil creatures, because of this, War God Titles have made the appropriate preparations]

[Note: The linkage of War God Title and War God Quest have created this unique method of Soul Points usage]

[During this War God Quest, you will gain a temporary War God Title]

[Temporary War God Title: Sword Demon]

[Once you complete this War God Quest, the title Sword Demon will be turned into your exclusive War God Title]

[Equipping this title grants you the Title Skill: True Soul Cleaving Eyes]
