Chapter 427 - Leaving
Chapter 427: Leaving
“You mean you’re going to leave right now?” Anna immediately asked.
She grabbed Gu Qing Shan hand and squeezed tight.
Gu Qing Shan answered: “I have about 2 more minutes until I have to leave, but it’ll return soon enough”
Staring straight into Anna’s eyes, Gu Qing Shan added: “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine”
But Anna couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
The place Gu Qing Shan is about to go to is an exceedingly powerful world where even his strength is nothing special.
How could anyone not be worried?
Anna bit the tip of her finger to let out blood and touched her forehead.
“Please lend me your power, sir Black Hound”
She looked at Black Hound.
Black Hound looked back at her.
“I beg you” Anna insisted.
A black flame rose from Black Hound’s body floating in front of Anna.
Anna took the flame into her hand and squeezed tightly.
Pwomf!
The flame disappeared, but black lines began to crawl across Anna’s body before escaping into the air.
Anna reached her hand out and tapped Gu Qing Shan’s forehead on the same spot as hers.
“What are you doing?” Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
“Don’t move for now, I’m borrowing the power of a Divinity to call on the Death God, hoping to take a peek at your information” Anna’s expression was dead serious.
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to comply.
Following that, Anna silently stared at Gu Qing Shan.
Her gaze began to escape from Gu Qing Shan, instead staring behind Gu Qing Shan, as if there was something there.
In a few moments, a faraway whisper resounded from the top of Anna’s head.
「 Mortal who had lost your path, the road ahead of you has an enemy that even a world cannot resist, death itself is coming for that world 」
「 In front of such a death, you are powerless 」
The voice seemed to be whispering something else after that.
But no one managed to hear it clearly.
The wind picked up inside the room as the spell dismissed itself.
Anna jumped forward to tackle Gu Qing Shan.
“You can’t! You can’t go, you’ll die!”
She was hugging his arm, insisting that he doesn’t leave.
Gu Qing Shan could only patted her back and reassured her: “Everything will be ok, I already went through literal hell remember? It’ll be alright”
He checked the time.
One minute left.
Lightly stroking Anna’s head, Gu Qing Shan tone slowed: “Don’t worry, I won’t die, I promise you”
Anna looked at him and shook her head.
What happened just now was an oracle from the Death God, how could the Law of death be wrong in predicting death?
Without hesitation, Anna pulled out a small black string from inside her flowing crimson hair.
Attached to the string was a unique medallion, slowly revealing itself as she pulled the necklace over her head.
She then put it on Gu Qing Shan’s neck.
“Foolish, I don’t need—–” Gu Qing Shan said.
He hurriedly tried to take it off.
“Live” Anna squeezed his hand tightly, muttering: “I won’t allow you to die”
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Recalling the past, he seemed to remember Anna saying the same thing during the first time he went to Shen Wu world.
The same words, the same gestures.
Turns out his feelings in both lives actually got through to her.
Feeling a bit stunned, Gu Qing Shan wanted to say something.
But time was up.
A screen of light enveloped him.
The next second, he disappeared in front of everyone present.
Black Hound walked forward, sighing deeply: “Truthfully speaking, there is one more line to the oracle… I didn’t want to tell you, but the words of God must be delivered without fail”
Anna hurriedly asked: “Sir, what was the last line?”
“If you die in that world, even your soul will not survive”
Anna bit her lip, carefully recalling everything that happened lately.
She suddenly asked Ye Fei Li: “Where’s Su Xue Er? Why haven’t I seen her at all?”
Ye Fei Li sneaked a glance at Zhang Ying Hao.
Thinking for a bit, Zhang Ying Hao answered: “Tell her”
Ye Fei Li hesitated: “Should I?”
“It’s fine” Zhang Ying Hao looked at Anna and commented: “She didn’t even hesitate to put her life in Gu Qing Shan’s hands, I think we won’t have to hide anything regarding Gu Qing Shan from her”
Ye Fei Li then told her about Su Xue Er’s matter.
Even about the scroll that was the deciding factor for taking the Pope’s life.
After hearing everything, Anna went into contemplation.
Zhang Ying Hao returned to the mansion and took a jade tag to give to Anna.
“What is this?”
“This is a cultivation scripture that Gu Qing Shan specifically picked out for you, since he was worried about that being present, he left it at the mansion for us to give you whenever there’s a chance”
Black Hound jumped up and took the jade tag.
“This method… hmm… absorbing the essence of the world to empower yourself, as well as the methodology to increase the capacity of absorption for the body”
“This is a good thing, it’ll greatly increase the power of your attacks, your Death Divine Skills will become as least twice as powerful”
Black Hound evaluated it.
Ye Fei Li couldn’t help but ask: “Isn’t using these scriptures enough? She still has to practice other skills?”
Black Hound scoffed: “Those are the words of an amateur, even that brat who just left was always using sword skills to release his powers”
Ye Fei Li held his head: “If that’s the case, I’ll have to learn some sort of powerful attack skills aside from cultivating as well”
Black Hound didn’t respond to him and gave the jade tag to Anna.
“Sir Black Hound” Anna spoke.
“Hm?”
“I’ve… decided”
“Are you sure?”
“I am, I have to become stronger to catch up to him, to be able to stand against Su Xue Er”
Black Hound seems to be smiling as he heard that.
He then started to chant an incantation.
Black Hound’s body started to grow, becoming about 3-stories tall.
Its voice became louder, more majestic, like a god questioning a mortal at his feet.
“I ask again, once you’ve come with me to that place, you will truly become an apostle of the Death God, never to worship another god again, are you sure you want to go?”
“I have to go” Anna answered.
Black Hound stared straight at her for a few moments.
“Although we haven’t known each other for too long, your talent and potential is the greatest I’ve seen for the last few thousand years”
“You’ve been sleeping for the last few thousand years”
“You talk too much!”
“Come up here” Black Hound ordered.
Anna jumped onto Black Hound’s back.
Standing on Black Hound’s back, Anna told Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li and the rest of the people below: “If he comes back, tell him that I’m going away to train”
Black flames began to rise from Black Hound’s body.
With a slight jump, he began to run on the air towards the sky.
Varona loudly shouted: “Wait a minute! Anna, the Holy Empire is still waiting for your reign!”
Black Hound stopped in mid air.
“I’m sorry auntie, my father’s death has been avenged, so I no longer have any worries, please take care of the country for me” Anna said.
“Only the truly powerful can protect their most precious thing in our current world”
“I’m going now”
Black Hound began to run towards the sky again.
“But where exactly are you going?” Varona hurriedly asked.
A dark tunnel created from burning black flames opened up in the void of space.
Black Hound jumped inside, leaving only a short answer.
“The world of the Death God”
