Chapter 953: Background of [Chaos]

When the boy shouted out loud, Gu Qing Shan only said one thing

“Continue”

Shannu understood.

Another arc of blue lightning emerged from her body and went into the boy’s body.

Lightning Thaumaturgy, [Dreamjolt]!

The boy’s body started shaking nonstop.

The thing he prepared as he shouted also vanished.

Gu Qing Shan walked up, crouched down, and faced the boy’s eyes head-on.

“Where did [Chaos] come from?”

He lightly asked.

The boy’s expression became blank and fell into nostalgia again.

Just as the boy was about to open his mouth to speak, Gu Qing Shan activated his World Technique once more.

The entire camp vanished and the world fell to emptiness.

The world of the past manifested and appeared around Gu Qing Shan.

Sunset.

Outside the village.

There wasn’t anyone around, and the boy was sitting by a lake, having fished up an entire bucket full of fish.

He put his fishing rod away and silently sat there, staring blankly.

——-as if his heart was full of heavy thoughts.

Gu Qing Shan walked forward in front of the boy.

What’s going to happen?

Gu Qing Shan silently thought.

The boy hesitated for a while, took out a fish from the wooden bucket, and cut off its head.

“Sacrifice”

He spat out a single word.

Instantly, countless whispers of both male and female voices resounded on and off around the boy.

“About to begin…”

“Needs more death…”

“Power…”

“For you to grow…”

“Time…”

It was now that Gu Qing Shan noticed that his World Technique had improved.

Because he was now able to hear the voices that the boy heard.

Within this World Technique, Gu Qing Shan was gradually able to perceive the same things that the target was able to.

As Gu Qing Shan seriously listened to those whispering voices, his expression slowly turned solemn.

This was completely unheard of.

From the looks of it, this doesn’t seem like a coincidence, but rather something that had been predetermined.

Hearing those whispers, the boy displayed a look of confusion.

But the voices slowly faded away.

The boy’s expression changed.

He swiftly took out several more fishes from his bucket, killed them all, and threw them into the water.

Blood began to dye the water red within the vicinity, while the boy displayed a look of unadulterated desire on his confused face.

He asked: “Why could I hear voices that others couldn’t after I kill, and it’s becoming clearer and clearer?”

The countless whispers resounded around him again, this time addressing him directly.

“Death…”

“The origin of life…”

“Souls…”

“You need…”

“Kill…”

“For…”

These voices were filled with provocative intentions, but they soon faded away again.

The boy paused and remained silent for a long while.

He wasn’t fearful about this at all, instead appeared to be excited and anticipating.

“I knew it, I’m completely different from those other mortals”

He muttered, killed the rest of the fishes in his bucket, and threw everything into the take.

The light of the sunset had already faded, the darkness now clouded over the lake and the blood of the fishes had turned the lake completely murky, making it so that the boy could no longer see his reflection clearly.

He asked: “Who exactly am I?”

The voices sounded again.

They were a lot clearer and gentler.

“You are… one-of-a-kind…”

“Descended…”

“Once more…”

“Will ultimately awaken…”

“The Lord of spreading…”

“The Envoy…”

“Many worlds…”

The boy couldn’t hold himself back and suddenly raised his voice, shouting out loud: “Tell me! What should I do in order to know everything!”

At his question, the countless voices merged and turned into a unified answered:

“Kill!”

“Only by killing can you understand everything”

“Envoy of [Chaos]!”

The world stopped here.

The boy’s expression of realization froze still.

The memory was over.

The world scattered away like drifting sand.

Emptiness.

Then Gu Qing Shan found himself standing in the middle of the camp once again.

“Seal!”

Gu Qing Shan ordered.

Shannu stepped back as the 12 Divine Knights around them tossed their chains of light towards the boy.

These chains were the most powerful retributive Divine Art the Church had, capable of completely sealing someone and making sure they couldn’t move a finger.

Unless the imprisoned was three times stronger than the 12 Divine Knights combined, they would not be able to escape this seal.

The boy’s expression regained clarity.

He looked down at the chains on his body and smirked in contempt.

“I didn’t want to spend so much effort, but if all of you wanted to die, then that’s a different story”

A black light emerged from his body and easily severed all the chains.

The 12 Divine Knights groaned at once and were forced to step back.

Everyone was shocked.

How could this child that wasn’t even 10 years old have such incredible strength?

The boy showed a grudgeful expression and spoke: “Very well, foolish and laughable mortals, die—–”

Without being able to finish his sentence, he was caught by a knight and vanished from everyone’s sight.

Gu Qing Shan ordered everyone: “There is no need for you to concern yourselves with this boy any longer. Search for those missing people, find them, then report their locations to me”

Saying so, he also vanished from the camp.

Several thousand miles away.

On top of a barren mountain.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared.

The boy was standing in front of Gu Qing Shan, the look of contempt and killing intent on his expression already vanished without a trace.

He stood still. An autumn water blue steel sword had been placed against his neck.

This sword gave him a terrifying feeling.

With his current strength and power, he could feel that every technique, every spell, every means he had was useless against this sword.

This was a sword that could break any Law!

The boy’s gaze fell onto Gu Qing Shan.

——this person was the master of the sword.

“Who exactly are you!?” the boy shouted in question.

“Who are you? What do you intend to do from now on? What is your ultimate goal?” Gu Qing Shan asked back.

The boy kept his mouth shut, refusing to say a single word.

——–the effects of [See you once again] had disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

Everything is completely different from what I had assumed.

What kind of thing is [Chaos] exactly?

I need more information.

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, pulled the colorful rooster out from his Inventory Bag and pulled on its comb.

The colorful rooster came to life.

——-this was an item that the War God intelligence system had affixed itself to, from which he could obtain a lot of information about himself.

“Hm, long time no see, you need something from me today?” the colorful rooster yawned and lazily answered.

“Hm, there’s something I need you to look into” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The colorful rooster rubbed its face with its wings and replied in a bored tone: “The time flow of this world is different from the outside world, 20 years here is barely a second on the outside——- what kind of intelligence do you expect to hear in that little time?”

Its comb had completely drooped down, seemingly unable to mount a single bit of effort.

“This time it’s different, I want information about this world” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Ahahaha” the colorful rooster laughed, “What kind of information do you expect from this world? Do you want me to be like last time and tell you about how many high-ranking female personnels of the Church wanted to pay you a night visit?”

The rooster shook its wings and continued, completely bored: “Let’s just stop here, after you return to the normal world, we’ll talk information—— I want to go to sleep now”

Looking at its disinterested attitude, Gu Qing Shan silently fell into thought for a single second.

A thought flashed through his mind and suddenly said: “This time I called you out because I found a chicken thief”

“Chicken thief? So wh——– WHAT!? A CHICKEN THIEF!?”

The rooster’s voice was suddenly raised.

Gu Qing Shan pointed at the confused boy and replied: “That would be him. Not only did he steal a chicken, he even roasted and ate the entire thing right away”

The colorful rooster narrowed its eyes and approached the boy.

“Brat, was the chicken good?”

The rooster asked in a low voice.

The boy was completely clueless.

This was completely out of his expectation, this wasn’t related to any fighting, killing, schemes, or plans.

What is this chicken talking about?

I’m the Envoy of [Chaos], a legendary character, the one destined to conquer this world.

So what if I ate some chicken?

The boy puffed out his chest and replied: “Very delicious, I ate everything, so what?”

The colorful rooster didn’t say anything.

Its comb slowly stood straight up.
