Chapter 1394: Longing

One stick of incense was about to burn out.

From the empty void of space where Void City once was, Fei Yue’s voice could be heard:

“I agree to the marriage, but I have a condition”

Hong Yi Jue was delighted and hurriedly asked: “Daughter, quickly state your condition”

Fei Yue spoke up again: “I request an official wedding ceremony down to every last detail; nothing must be glossed over”

——-she was the true ruler of Void City, not only was she personally powerful, but she also carried the power of Fate. There was nothing wrong with her being particular about ceremonies, in fact, her ceremony must be extremely particular even if she didn’t want to; simply because the infinite worlds of the void would be paying attention to this wedding.

If the wedding ceremony between Fei Yue and the Wraith Lord were to have even a tiny mistake, it would immediately become the biggest joke the void had ever heard, greatly harming both of their reputations.

Before Hong Yi Jue even replied, the old voice from before had already responded:

[City Lord Fei Yue, please do not worry, we shall definitely arrange a wedding ceremony of the highest possible standard, numerous worlds will arrive to watch the wedding, and it shall be conducted in the most luxurious and grandest way]

“Hm, and I have one other condition” Fei Yue continued.

[Please speak] the old voice replied.

Fei Yue said: “Everyone currently by my side will be a part of my entourage and enter the Wraith realm with me”

The other side stayed silent.

Fei Yue coldly laughed: “As the City Lord of Void City, if I were to enter the Wraith realm alone without anyone by my side, that would be a disgrace”

“——if you refuse, then use the Apocalypse to kill us all”

After declaring that, she said nothing else.

Everyone turned to Fei Yue worriedly.

The blind nun assured them all: “It will be ok, the wraiths had planned to get Fei Yue for so many years, they wouldn’t give it up for such a simple matter. They will definitely accept this condition”

After a few moments, the old voice spoke up again:

[I can accept your condition, but I hope you will keep it close in mind that you will enter the Wraith realm to conduct the wedding ceremony, please do not try anything extraneous, or your outcomes would be vastly worse than death]

Fei Yue responded: “No problem”

She then gestured with her hand.

The blind nun urged: “Hurry everyone, follow the plan and help Fei Yue finish her disguise!”

Several Combatants stepped forward to release a technique they had been preparing for Fei Yue and turned her into a completely different person.

Standing to face Fei Yue, Crow watched as she was turned into a maid from the City Lord’s manor while he was transformed into a woman from inside and out.

——-he had completely taken on Fei Yue’s appearance.

The formation around Void City slowly faded away as countless wraith called out like a resounding wave:

“GREETINGS, CITY LORD FEI YUE!!”

The maid silently stepped forward, lightly held Crow’s hand, then sent her voice through telepathy: “We’re starting—– Crow, make sure to pay attention to your appearance, and make sure to protect me——- I expended too much power just now, so I’m a bit weakened”

Crow puffed out his chest and laughed: “Don’t worry, just leave everything else to me”

The maid looked at him with an expression of exhaustion and helplessness

…

——-let us rewind time for a bit.

Right as Gu Qing Shan was about to be transported away, Fei Yue tied several black threads on Gu Qing Shan’s arm.

“Gu Qing Shan, don’t say a word, just listen to me”

Fei Yue’s voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea.

“The wraiths have prepared themselves for everything, so even if our group can enter the Wraith realm on the grounds of marrying in, we would still be closely monitored, making it difficult to attempt anything”

“But you know the secret of the Life Talisman and exist outside of the wraith’s vision, so you’re our only hope”

“I will lend you my most important power to you, it will definitely help you greatly”

“If possible, do not come to save us, just do as what you have told me before and eradicate the entire Wraith realm”

After that, the black threads all disappeared into Gu Qing Shan’s arm without a trace.

Gu Qing Shan stood there reading the lines of text that appeared in the void of space and replied with a heavy tone:

“Thank you for your trust, I will definitely achieve it”

Fei Yue stared closely at Gu Qing Shan, then loudly declared: “I will wrap my [Threads of Fate] around him, this way we’d be able to remain in contact”

The others showed no reaction.

Everyone believed this to be the same as what Fei Yue had claimed, merely a technique for communication, so they didn’t think too much of it.

Gu Qing Shan disappeared without a trace.

——-only the eye on top of the blind nun’s head stared closely at Fei Yue.

The blind nun trembled and hurriedly sent her voice:

“You gave that Fate ability to him? Wouldn’t that mean you’ve tied your life to him?”

Fei Yue’s expression remained calm and replied: “He holds a deep grudge against the wraiths, and is one who would not surrender”

The blind nun pursued the question: “How do you know that?”

Fei Yue replied: “Because I once peeked into his past, and he is the wielder of Heaven and Earth, and also… in short, there won’t be any issues with giving it to him”

Her gaze appeared reminiscent as she thought of something.

In Xiao Die’s small brick house, the two of them officially met for the first time.

She had silently used her Fate abilities to check his background.

However, just like the time she performed divination for his codename, she couldn’t see a lot of things clearly.

She only saw continuous Apocalypses, what Gu Qing Shan had done, as well as the very last scene—–

…

Gu Qing Shan stood on top of a mountain wielding a scepter in his hand, in front of him, innumerable dead people filled every corner of the world, all of them cheering for him:

“Long live the Devil King!”

“Long live the Devil King!”

“Long live the Devil King!”

…

Fei Yue’s eyes glowed, clenched her hand subconsciously, then muttered under her breath: “With my power, he should be able to achieve a lot with little effort… perhaps he might truly be able to…”

The blind nun wanted to say something else, but then only sighed: “Hah, he truly is the only one not under the wraith’s control, we have no choice but to gamble on him this once”

Speaking of the wraiths, Fei Yue coldly scoffed and sent her voice: “And now, even if the wraiths see through the disguise or kill me, they would still never be able to obtain that power from me”

…

Gu Qing Shan was flying through the endless dark void of space.

He could clearly sense that he would soon arrive at the Wraith realm.

But his mind wasn’t focused on that at all.

He was still staring at the lines of text in the void of space, still shocked.

[You’ve been gifted a Fate Talent]

[This Fate Talent is a natural-born ability that you can use without paying any price, like your eyes, ears, tongue, and body]

[The next time you meet the original owner of this Fate Talent, you may choose to return this Fate Talent to her, or keep it to yourself as your possession]

[You’ve obtained the Fate Talent: Longing]

[Longing: You are able to see the connections between all things or all living beings, understand this connection, and even able to perform certain things to these connections]

[Special attention: This is an extremely unique and rare Fate Talent; it is as deep as the ocean depths and as miraculous as any miracle. You must slowly study it to understand its true value]

Reading this description again, Gu Qing Shan was still in disbelief.

Since the War God UI had mentioned it in such a vague way, this Fate Talent seems to be something that cannot be understood unless I slowly learn about it.

With a single thought, he activated his Fate Talent.

Instantly, he noticed two more black threads on his left hand.

These two threads were reaching towards two different directions, both disappeared into the void of space.

“This is… the same kind of Fate threads that Fei Yue uses…” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He reached his hand out to touch one of the black threads.

——this thread led to the same destination as his teleport location.

A sense of danger could be felt from it.

Gu Qing Shan instantly understood that this was what he needed to face after he returned as a wraith.

The other thread reached even deeper into the darkness of the void.

Gu Qing Shan touched his thread with his hand as well.

A sense of understanding appeared in his mind.

“An item… something that I want to find… is in this direction”

He silently muttered.

Suddenly, a total of five Life Talismans appeared from the void of space to surround Gu Qing Shan.

Overlapping figures appeared all around, seemingly a lot of people were moving back and forth, talking and chatting while also busy with their work.

A voice sounded next to Gu Qing Shan’s ear:

“Complete wipe out, only you managed to survive and return alone, what a disgrace”

“After his warp is completed, take him to the fifth passage for his punishment”

The others replied: “Understood!”

Gu Qing Shan silently listened, but his eyes stared closely at the five talismans while his thoughts quickly moved.

The scenery around him was becoming clearer.

——-this was a large teleportation area with many warp formations of various sizes, which the wraiths were using to busily move in and out of this area.

Right at this moment, Gu Qing Shan suddenly reached his hand out to draw a rune.

“Quick!”

He grunted.

The talisman was completed!

Instantly, the five talismans did not finish his teleportation and instead gave off more light to carry Gu Qing Shan away from the teleportation area.

Several panicked voices sounded by his ears before quickly disappearing without a trace.

Gu Qing Shan followed the Fate thread on his hand and flew deeper into the void.
