Chapter 1536: We will meet again
Within the boundless darkness, the entire River of Time suddenly lit up again.
Countless visions of history appear within the River of Time, displaying countless people and things, as they were all experiencing their own stories.
Above the River of Time, within the boundless darkness, Laura kept her eyes closed, tightly hanging on to the glowing purple length of rope.
She had silently continued to pray.
Suddenly——–
She opened her eyes and cried tears of joy: “Ooooo, Gu Qing Shan, you finally managed to do it!”
Countless structures abruptly appeared around her one by one.
Almost in an instant, the entire Temporal Oasis had returned.
Followed by numerous people.
The first to return was Barry.
“Hm? What happened just now?” he cautiously looked around.
Earlier, he had forcefully entered a state of combat, but was still completely eliminated in a single instant.
That terrifying sensation was still causing his heart to beat a bit faster than normal.
Another voice replied: “It was most likely the situation that Boss described, but I can sense now that Space-Time had become solid again”
—–Kitty had also reappeared.
Zhang Ying Hao appeared following that and pondered: “In other words, a result had come out from the matters during the Age of Immemorial”
Ye Fei Li, the chairman of the Spire Keeper Association, Ye Ru Xi, numerous scholars and wizards of the Spire, everyone appeared one by one, as if none of them had left in the first place.
Ye Fei Li commented: “Don’t joke, with Boss cooperating with Gu Qing Shan, I can’t think of anyone who would be able to deal with them”
The sound of crying was heard.
As everyone followed the sound, they saw that Laura was crying.
She sat crouched on the ground while hanging her head, both hands constantly wiping her tears away; it looked as if she was very sad about something.
Everyone exchanged glances.
“Your majesty, what’s the matter?” the Bramble Bird General Ilya hurriedly asked.
Laura waved her hand dismissively: “Don’t mind me—— no one mind me, I just want to cry for a while”
Ilya couldn’t really say anything else.
Right as everyone was a bit unsure of what to do, someone suddenly appeared next to Laura.
Anna.
Before the collapse of everything, she was hugging Laura.
Anna looked around and saw that everyone was safe, so she happily smiled:
“It seems Qing Shan won”
She crouched down and lightly stroked Laura’s head, softly speaking to her: “Hey Empress, we’ve won, why are you crying?”
Laura looked up at her with bloodshot eyes and asked: “Big sis Anna, I have a question”
“Go ahead” Anna replied.
“Why do you like to drink?”
“Because drinking will increase my power, and I’ve always liked to drink”
Laura broke out crying louder.
Anna hurriedly embraced and tried to console her.
After a while, Laura finally stopped crying.
“Big sis Anna, I have something else to ask you” she sat on Anna’s shoulder and softly asked.
“Go ahead”
“Why do you like Gu Qing Shan?”
“Hm?” Anna raised her voice.
——-this little girl, why is she asking something like that in front of everyone? What’s going on here?
Anna looked around, only to see everyone else either looking up at the ceiling or the patterns on the ground or the patterns on the windows.
In short, everyone suddenly felt an immense sense of interest towards the various decorative items in the Spire.
However…
My matter with Gu Qing Shan is completely pure and innocent, what is there to hide?
Anna pinched Laura’s cheeks a bit and answered without minding anything: “The first time I met him was at a bar, at the time, he made me a glass of——”
Before she even finished, Laura had already laid her head down on her shoulder and loudly cried out again.
“Uuuoooo… I’m… so emotional… uuooooo…”
She wiped away her snot and tears, speaking discontinuously.
…
The Age of Immemorial.
The battle in the sky had concluded.
In the instant that [Great Flood] descended, all the monsters had disappeared.
Shroud was lying unconscious on the ground, motionless.
Little Dusk landed from the sky to shield him and looked at Reneedol.
“Big sister”
Little Dusk’s voice was clearly cold: “You clearly could have had the perfect everything, but you discarded it all”
Reneedol looked at her and leisurely replied: “My Fate will be decided by none other than myself”
“You killed Scarlet” Little Dusk said.
“She did it to herself——- how detestable, I let Rhode run away” Reneedol gritted her teeth.
She waved her hand.
The glowing key in Shroud’s hand flew up and into her hand.
The key swiftly vanished and returned to Shroud’s hand.
——-it was exactly the same as what happened at the divine palace of Fate.
“Sure enough, this is the [Key of Myriad Deities’ Consent] in Rhode’s hand” Reneedol muttered in a low voice with a terrifying grim expression.
This key can only be used by an unrestrained Deity.
In other words——
The only one who could use it in this world was Shroud.
While she was thinking, a sharp streak of light shot towards her.
The two Deities of Fate acted at the same time to destroy that streak of light.
Reneedol regained her senses and looked at Little Dusk.
“You dare attack me?” she asked without changing her expression.
Little Dusk quickly drew Cards from the void of space and firmly replied: “Scarlet is dead, Rhode is also no longer here, only Shroud is still alive—– I won’t let you do anything to Shroud”
Reneedol stared closely at her with a thoughtful gaze.
“Pitiful little sister, what do you think you can actually do?” she asked.
Little Dusk didn’t answer and simply reached her hand forward to wield a glowing crimson spear.
Reneedol couldn’t help but retreat a step.
This spear… is very dangerous.
Even if the [Plate of Destiny’s End] was capable of reflecting double the damage to the opponent, this spear is fatal, I might simply die from being struck by it.
Double reflected damage didn’t mean anything to this spear.
As for the weapons manifested from [Tear of Deities]——
Little Dusk has a terrifying Card that can seal all weapons.
Detestable!
——-the third Divine Artifact of Fate isn’t in my hands, otherwise, I wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation against her!
Reneedol’s eyes went cold and shouted: “All out!”
The two Deities of Fate had already prepared, so they both recited an incantation.
“With my power of Fate, you shall fall into boundless darkness…”
“With my power of Fate, you shall forget all grudges…”
The two of them swiftly finished their entire chant.
Clang!
The spear fell from Little Dusk’s hand as her expression suddenly became blank.
——the two Deities of Fate and Reneedol had instantly restrained Little Dusk.
“She will forget everything—— what now? Should we kill her?” Clotho asked.
“Of course, she’s too dangerous, she can’t be left alive” Reneedol replied.
“Should I do it?” Atropos asked.
“No, I’ll do it myself”
Killing intent exuded from Reneedol’s body as she loudly chanted: “[Great Flood], you shall heed my order, hereby——”
She suddenly shut her mouth.
The terrifying presence only appeared for a brief moment before it vanished.
——-Shroud had woken up.
Shroud stood up and shielded Little Dusk, asking with a frown: “Reneedol, what are you doing?”
Reneedol opened her mouth but was unable to utter a single word.
A terrifying presence radiated from deep under the icy ground.
Indeed.
Shroud is the only one who could ensure that the corpse entity is sealed. If I killed Shroud now, or simply forced his hands too much, it would result in unpredictable consequences.
The mere faint consciousness of that corpse had eliminated half of the Matriarch of Myriad Earths’ body and forced this void monster to flee.
Currently, this corpse has entered a dangerous active period.
How would I stay alive if I angered it?
Reneedol lowered her gaze towards the dark glowing key in Shroud’s hand.
——-I can’t touch him at all.
He is the key to obtaining the third Divine Artifact of Fate.
“Reneedol! Regardless of why you attacked Dusk earlier, I hope that you’ll recognize the fact that she is our comrade from now on”
Shroud crouched down and flipped through the Book of Prophesized Destinies to heal Little Dusk’s injuries.
“Dusk is going to wake up soon, come here and make sure to apologize to her” Shroud earnestly told her.
Reneedol froze.
Me?
Apologize?
She faced his eyes straight on.
His gaze contained a hint of confusion and questioning.
“You cannot completely cut him off, the Death God is no longer here, so he had become the only remaining person prophesized to be capable of re-establishing the Pantheon, as well as heading to the Dusty World in the future and retrieve the most powerful Divine Artifact for you” Clotho whispered into her ear.
“You cannot fight him, as the entity under the ice is currently in an active state, once someone happens with the seal, you will die as well” Atropos whispered into her other ear.
Reneedol clenched her fists tightly and trembled without stopping.
Rhode.
Damn you, Rhode.
I’ve clearly won already!
Reneedol took a deep breath and slowly approached Shroud.
“Shroud, you’re right, I was in the wrong”
She spoke with a gentle voice, but she clenched her teeth so tightly that her gums were bleeding.
After hearing this, Shroud finally smiled happily.
“That’s right. I don’t know what kind of opportunity Rhode got, but I can’t sense his existence at all. Since we’re the only ones left, we must band together”
He appeared thoughtful, then opened the Book of Prophesized Destinies again.
The book continuously flipped through itself, then suddenly stopped.
Shroud ripped that page down, then threw it to the air and whispered: “Dark and light are mutually born”
Hoh———
The page that was radiating light suddenly became jet-black.
An aura of death exuded from the page.
“Shroud, what are you doing now?” Reneedol asked.
“Radiance has the characteristic to stimulate the growth of all Laws, as well as an extreme mean to create Death” Shroud appeared full of emotions as he explained: “The Death God is no longer here, but this world still needs the Law of Death to exist”
He tapped the page with his finger.
Poof!
The page turned into a mass of black flames, then manifested proper form.
Following Shroud’s voice, the flames gradually manifested as a bird.
“Crow of Death, from now on, you will replace Rhode, walk the earth and spread his Law, up until one day in the future——”
Shroud’s voice slowly became lower:
“The Death God shall definitely return”
“At that time, we shall meet once again”
