Chapter 866: The Simple Truth

Gu Qing Shan finally stopped dancing.

He stood still, breathing heavily as he was soaked in a layer of sweat.

Performing this Dance is so tiring, even more tiring than fighting a tough battle.

All the evil creatures that danced him with earlier had now turned into lifeless statues.

Besides the forest of statues and the praying skeleton, there was nothing else left in this entire city.

Complete silence.

“This Dance truly is…” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

His gaze fell onto the void of space where a line of text had appeared:

[You’ve converted and absorbed a certain amount of the Demon Dragon’ power, the strength of your inner sight has been improved slightly]

[You’ve obtained the ability: Dance Comprehension (primary), from now on, you only need to take a short look at any normal dance to fully master them]

[The Demon Dragon energy tide has ended]

[Through the Order’s analysis, your Living Being Sacrificial Dance (1st stage) is only effective during a Demon Dragon energy tide, so please try your best not to dance at any other occasion to avoid any unexpected situations]

[Through the Order’s analysis, the next Demon Dragon energy tide will occur one month from now, please make sure to keep track of this]

Gu Qing Shan mused about what just happened.

He glanced at a wind chime hanging below the roof of a building not too far away, then used his inner sight on it.

Kling klang kling klang kling kling kling!

The wind chime moved by itself.

Sure enough, my inner sight did improve.

Before, if I used my inner sight so lightly, it wouldn’t have moved any objects.

The Demon Dragon’s power…

If the problem of the blood infection and the mind-searing pain wasn’t there, this would actually be considered quite a good thing.

Regardless, since I made it through this Dance, I’ll be good for another month.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t remain here for long and leapt into the air.

The Primordial Heaven Realm.

The Sky Above Heaven.

Inside the Grand Divine Palace.

The current Divine King, the Strength God was standing in the audience hall while the God of Frost and Chill was sitting on the Divine Throne.

The figure of light, Luo Bing Li and the Strength God were all standing at the bottom of the stairs.

When Gu Qing Shan returned here, that was what he saw.

He glanced at the Strength God, then at the God of Frost and Chill, feeling a bit unexpected.

“Gongzi, this Strength God was so easy to fool, when he couldn’t defeat me, he simply gave up the Divine King position again” Shannu sent her voice.

“Well done” Gu Qing Shan praised her.

Shannu felt a bit proud and silently suggested: “Gongzi, on our side, we now have you, me and Fairy Luo, while the only one of the Divine race is the figure of light, what do you say we gang up and kill him the next time we travel to another phantom image?”

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

Who would’ve thought, after acting as the Divine King for a short while, Shannu’s behavior would become so bloodthirsty.

This was her being too much ‘into’ the role.

He quickly sent his voice: “Definitely not, Shannu, you must remember that we absolutely cannot touch the figure of light no matter what, this is related to our life and death”

“Hm? Why is that?” Shannu asked doubtfully.

“You don’t need to think about too much, just remember what I told you” Gu Qing Shan told her.

“Alright, I’ll naturally listen to gongzi” Shannu obediently agreed.

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.

I can’t tell Shannu about this, otherwise, she might accidentally reveal something and let the figure of light notice that something wasn’t right.

The truth is actually quite simple.

Since the Fate Weaver had made the preparations to wait specifically for a cultivator from the future to appear, then as soon as I showed up, the Fate Weaver would think of a way to find me and follow me to the final moment that humanity hid away.

The only people who had been constantly staying with me included Shannu, Luo Bing Li, and the figure of light.

Shannu is my sword, not only could she cut any Law, she still has a telepathic link with me that confirmed that she can’t be impersonated.

Then either Luo Bing Li or the figure of light must be the Abyssal Fate Weaver.

From what happened in the Primordial Wraith Realm just now, Luo Bing Li’s suspicion could be removed somewhat.

Then there’s a large chance that the figure of light was the Abyssal Fate Weaver.

From start to end, the figure of light had been in charge of everything related to the Divine race and was the one who had control over the three coins.

According to something the Golden Flame Divinity had said, Gu Qing Shan found out that when the Golden Flame Divinity first appeared, it was the figure of light who found him.

Who could be so powerful that they would be able to easily pinpoint an existence that came from another era among countless phantom images?

The figure of light brought the Golden Flame Divinity along and kept chasing after me from one phantom image to another.

Rather than saying that it was helping the Golden Flame Divinity, it might be more accurate to say that it was already looking for me.

And the figure of light’s existence was also quite suspicious.

Firstly, when I was impersonating the Divine King, it was because I displayed excellent abilities that I caught his attention and was recruited as his aide.

In the Wraith realm, when it turned into the Cruel Bone Devil King, it was actually cooperating with Luo Bing Li to see if I knew about the secret of the Abyssal Jail.

Gu Qing Shan did not believe that the Divine race could actually be this powerful, capable of traveling among the phantom images as they pleased and had perfect control over everything.

If my assumptions are correct, then the current situation should be like this:

The Soul Shrieker had taken control of the Desolate race and deceived humanity into forging the twin swords Heaven and Earth.

The Abyssal Fate Weaver turned into the figure of light and took control of the Divine race to directly oversee everything and search for Gu Qing Shan who had come from the future.

Besides these two who are hiding behind the curtains of this era, the Demon Dragon who had been assimilated by the Abyss was also feigning death in the actual timeline while remaining hidden to see how things would go.

None of them were lamps that were running out of fuel.

I definitely can’t tell Shannu about this, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to remain calm at all.

At this time, the God of Frost and Chill’s voice resounded in the audience hall

“How is your progress?” he asked.

“The [Order] had evolved into its [Demon Tide] form, I still need a bit more time to evolve it into [Demon King Ascension]” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Very well done” the Divine King said with satisfaction.

The figure of light was also pleased: 「 That is indeed very good progress, at this rate, we would soon be able to use the power of the three coins 」

Gu Qing Shan glanced at him.

He has the Abyssal Craft: [Existence].

He could turn into the figure of light and become well-received by all the Divinities of the Divine race.

But since I’m an outsider who traveled back in time to reach this place, precisely because I exist outside of this timeline, I’ve already found out a lot of information and the truth of this era, thus I wasn’t fooled.

However.

If the Abyssal Fate Weaver appeared in the future and belongs in the same timeline that I was, then I would probably be deceived by it without knowing.

In the same timeline…

Just when a certain thought was about to cross Gu Qing Shan’s mind, he heard Luo Bing Li spoke: “Now you can try to look into how to enter the second preparation of humanity”

She gave a jade disk to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan received the jade disk, the thought he was about to have was replaced by another:

Luo Bing Li already knows about how I impersonated the Divine King, but obviously she didn’t tell the figure of light about it.

Why is that?

「 Indeed, it is time for us to look into how to move forward into the next phantom image 」the figure of light agreed.

All the gazes in the room fell into Gu Qing Shan’s hands.

Gu Qing Shan could only focus his mind and infuse his spirit energy into the jade disk to activate it.

The jade disk gave off a colorful light that crashed into the void of space to create a huge tunnel.

Intense chaotic winds that felt like a surging current came out from the tunnel and drifted all around the Grand Divine Palace.

“The space vortex? What’s going on?”

Gu Qing Shan muttered in confusion.

Abruptly, a voice emerged from the jade disk:

“He who was entrusted, if you betray the entrustment you took on, you shall never arrive at the other world and your dream would never be realized”

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

This was Xie Gu Hong’s voice.

But what is this supposed to mean?

Luo Bing Li explained: “Before you came, we’ve all tried to use the jade disk, anyone who entered the space vortex would become lost”

The God of Frost and Chill also followed up: “This tunnel is connected to countless phantom images, so we couldn’t determine which was the true destination”

The Strength God spoke: 「 We’ve sent many Divinities to split up and enter those phantom images, but there were simply too many to search through 」

The figure of light concluded: 「 And so, we now need you to take a look and see if you have any solutions 」

Gu Qing Shan looked at their expressions.

He smiled bitterly: “All of you think too highly of me, this is clearly asking me to check every phantom image within this space vortex, what other solution would I have?”
