Chapter 871: Powerful And Weak
Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9
Inside the Grand Divine Palace.
The conversation between Gu Qing Shan and the Abyssal Fate Weaver continued.
「 I don’t understand, at this point, why do you still respond to me with such caution? 」the Abyssal Fate Weaver questioned.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her and laughed bitterly: “I can’t defeat you, nor do I have any intention of fighting, so you’re just thinking too much”
The Abyssal Fate Weaver spoke full of killing intent: 「 No, ever since I appeared, you’ve already wiped your thoughts clean. Even now I can’t tell what you are thinking 」
“Call it my last-ditch effort of maintaining what little pride I have left, thank you” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He slowed down his tone and asked: “Or do you perhaps feel for some reason that you wouldn’t be able to defeat me while you can’t read my thoughts?”
The Abyssal Fate Weaver trembled slightly, stared at Gu Qing Shan for a long while before she laughed out loud: 「 Ahahahaha! An insignificant and powerless insect of a creature like you actually dared to declare a fight against me? 」
Gu Qing Shan just smiled and said nothing.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver’s killing intent faded.
While Gu Qing Shan was still alive, he wouldn’t be able to escape from her; and even if Gu Qing Shan died, he would only revive by her side.
This was the power of the three coins!
As long as I still have the coins, there would be no issues at all.
Not to mention, the most important factor was that…
Their difference in power between them was like heaven and earth.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver laughed as she shook her head: 「 Gu Qing Shan, you should know, I only need a single finger to kill you right now 」
Her thin feminine finger lightly tapped Gu Qing Shan’s forehead.
「 Just like this, if I just put a bit of strength into it, your head will pop like a balloon 」
Gu Qing Shan agreed: “I completely understand your power, and is in awe of it”
His gaze stopped for the blink of an eye in the void of space.
Just then, lines of blood-red text appeared in the void of space:
[The Abyssal Fate Weaver’s life structures have been thoroughly studied, adjusting Demon Lord weapon construction to adapt to combat]
[Attention please, this process will take a bit of time, the Demon King Order will complete it as soon as possible]
[Furthermore, as you had chosen to evolve the Order as fast as possible, you are unable to enjoy the full combat functions of Demon Tide, only after evolving the Order into the Demon King Ascension stage can you continue to unlock more powerful combat functions of the Order]
[Considering the urgency of the upcoming battle, the following Demon King Ascension Quest had been issued]
[Quest description: You who came from the future, must enter the true moment that everything ended. Who was the real victor between humanity and the Abyss, that is for you to witness or change]
[Quest objective: Enter the true hidden moment and find the Heaven sword]
[Quest reward: The Order will evolve once more, the Demon King will descend]
Those lines of text only flashed for a brief second before they vanished.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver looked towards Luo Bing Li and lightly moved her finger.
Luo Bing Li abruptly floated into the air and was instantly wrapped inside countless white threads that came out of nowhere.
「 Gu Qing Shan, take a look at her, she is the spirit of that Abyssal weapon. Now that you have the Earth sword and I have the remaining components of that weapon, as soon as you bring me the Heaven sword, the weapon can be completed! 」
「 Didn’t you want to save the Earth sword? This is your last chance! 」
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Luo Bing Li in her hands and didn’t answer yet.
He knew that wasn’t the truth.
A weapon can only have a single spirit.
If the Earth sword and Heaven sword were to fuse into that weapon, the Earth sword’s spirit would be completely removed.
But Gu Qing Shan wasn’t thinking about that.
He was meditating so that he had no thoughts and his head was empty.
No thoughts, no plans, and no recollection, this was true meditation.
As he really wasn’t thinking about anything, the Abyssal Fate Weaver had no way to obtain any form of information from him.
Gu Qing Shan controlled his thoughts to make it form into a certain notion:
“I also want to arrive at the true final moment of history, but this is simply too difficult, not even the Abyssal entities managed to find the Heaven sword”
The Abyssal Fate Weaver’s face twitched slightly.
She heard Gu Qing Shan’s thought.
It was then that Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth to speak: “I need to know what exactly happened at that time. Otherwise, if I didn’t make enough preparations and miss my chance, there would be no way to remedy it anymore”
First, he had to understand the exact situation, regardless of whether he chose to cooperate or to resist, this was a necessary attitude for those who sought the Heaven sword.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver appeared reminiscent and replied: 「 Truthfully, the phantom images aren’t a lot of trouble to deal with. The true obstacle in our way is the ability [Eternal Moment] 」
「 At the time, all of us only noticed a slight deviation in time, but one hour had already passed 」
「 Everything else skipped through that one hour 」
「 Only the old man who held the Heaven sword was nowhere to be seen 」
「 He had hidden both himself and the Heaven sword within that single hour. No matter what we tried, we couldn’t find that one hour at all, not even with the three coins 」
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened and contemplated: “Even if the time had been skipped one hour ahead, the space should still remain the same. All of you should still remain within that hour”
The Abyssal Fate Weaver replied: 「 Regretfully, within that one hour, the old man became the master of time. As long as he doesn’t stop his temporal technique, no one would be able to kill him or take the Heaven sword away 」
“Then it’s my time to go” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver was a bit surprised.
But Gu Qing Shan didn’t wait for her reaction and continued: “Since you can’t give the three coins to me, then I want another reward, which is what you offered before”
The Abyssal Fate Weaver was surprised again and fell into thought for a brief moment before she understood.
She laughed: 「 Little boy, are you actually willing to become my Eternal slave? 」
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and likely stroked the face of unrivaled wild beauty.
“Of course not”
As soon as he said that, the power of Elemental Lightning surged forward from his body and poured into the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s body.
Elemental Lightning of Life, [Dreamjolt]!
[Dreamjolt: When hit by your Elemental Lightning spirit energy, the target’s consciousness will connect with the Lightning and be forced to enter a brief dreamscape, during which they lose control of their body. Duration: 5 seconds]
[Note: This is the evolved Thaumaturgy from Stunned, Rigid and Severance, no living being is immune to it]
The Abyssal Fate Weaver was completely stunned.
Despite how powerful she was, she was being restrained completely by this vastly weaker human cultivator!
This was the power of a War God Thaumaturgy upgraded to its very limit!
In a flash, Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out that jade disk.
The jade disk that led to the true final moment of humanity!
He infused his spirit energy into the jade disk.
Hoh hoh hoh
Space itself broke open to reveal a completely dark path.
Gu Qing Shan jumped inside.
“Gongzi!” Shannu was about to fly in as well.
“Don’t come here”
Gu Qing Shan shouted to Shannu.
He stood inside the tunnel, turned around, and looked straight at the Abyssal Fate Weaver.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
In a split second, he switched places with the Abyssal Fate Weaver.
Gu Qing Shan returned to the Grand Divine Palace.
While the Abyssal Fate Weaver had entered the tunnel.
At the same time, Gu Qing Shan swiftly triggered the jade disk.
Oom
The warp was activated!
The Abyssal Fate Weaver fell into the tunnel and went out of sight in a flash.
The tunnel in the void of space closed up.
The Grand Divine Palace returned to silence.
Gu Qing Shan put the jade disk away.
As the Abyssal Fate Weaver had left, the threads that wrapped around Luo Bing Li also disappeared.
She stood up.
“You sent her into the true final moment” Luo Bing Li couldn’t help but shout, “Have you gone crazy?”
“No, this is the best opportunity, I just hope it will work” Gu Qing Shan replied seriously.
Shannu quickly leapt to stand next to Gu Qing Shan and asked: “Gongzi, what do you mean?”
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her and replied: “During the true final moment, the Abyssal Fate Weaver of history was already there”
Luo Bing Li was stunned: “So that’s what you did. If the Abyssal Fate Weaver from the future also appeared in that moment, there would be two of her existing in a single time node”
“That’s right, this isn’t a parallel world, but rather the same ‘her’ from a different point in time. The Law of Time would eliminate one of her two selves to make sure that the timeline would not become messed up” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Luo Bing Li’s eyes were practically glowing and asked: “How did you come up with that?”
“I have a lot of experience with being eliminated this way” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“Gongzi, aren’t you worried that she might obtain the Heaven sword?” Shannu asked
“Not at all” Gu Qing Shan replied: “She told us just now, at that moment in time, the Immortal King was essentially the master of time, as long as he doesn’t end his temporal technique, no one would be able to obtain the Heaven sword”
He muttered: “I just hope the one who got eliminated was the Abyssal Fate Weaver from just now”
Luo Bing Li nodded in agreement.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver of history did not recognize Gu Qing Shan, she also doesn’t have the coins or a plan that had been hatching for over 10,000 years.
If the Law of Time eliminated the Abyssal Fate Weaver from his present, Gu Qing Shan would be able to come and go as he pleased without any threat from her.
Luo Bing Li would also not be under her restraints.
“Gongzi, when will we know the results?” Shannu nervously asked.
“Right now” Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes.
He was also feeling nervous.
Suddenly, inside the Grand Divine Palace, a blinding light abruptly descended!
Three coins appeared out of nowhere and formed an inverted triangle of light.
Cling
The three coins spun in mid-air until they fell into a pitch-black hand.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver!
She caught the three coins with killing intent boiling all over her body.
「 An exceptional gamble, truly. Even I couldn’t help but gasp in awe of your actions, unfortunately, luck was on my side, you will never get another chance 」
Bastard!
I nearly died for real just now!
Luckily, the Law of Time removed the other ‘me’, otherwise, I can’t even imagine the consequences!
The Abyssal Fate Weaver could no longer contain her fury.
「 Gu Qing Shan, I know you are an expert at overturning a situation. But you failed to understand that in a true battle, victory requires more than such schemes and tricks, you need absolute strength above all else as a basis as well! 」
「 Come, I will let you first experience the suffering of being weak 」
Countless white threads manifested from her body and coiled around Gu Qing Shan’s body.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Her good luck was his regret.
There was a 50-50 change of eliminating her just now.
Unfortunately.
Luck protected his Abyssal monster.
“Did you know? There’s a certain rule among humanity’s card games that allowed only the weakest to defeat the strongest1”
Gu Qing Shan didn’t try to resist and only told her with a serious expression:
“And I have one final thing to say”
“A true veteran doesn’t flaunt his merits”
He drew that Card.
He had no choice but to use that Card right now.
The Golden Card: [Earthen Dual Body]!
