Chapter 1208: Confidentiality

“Lady Fusi, I feel that it might not just be just me, but the Earth Creator must have also been a great entity on the side of [Order]. It had been constantly and silently supporting the advancement of civilization, and also aided me in obtaining the twin swords Heaven and Earth”

Gu Qing Shan slowly said.

Even though the Earth Creator was no longer with them, Gu Qing Shan could still remember what the Earth Creator told him at the final moment of the Age of Old:

「 Normally, the heroes of human history would always feel like they had given their utmost effort in order to finally achieve victory, very few were able to notice my concern and support 」

…

Earlier, Lady Fusi also said—–

[Order] hoped for living beings to grow stronger and retaliate against the Apocalypse.

From this, I can infer that the Earth Creator belonged to the [Order] faction.

And Lady Fusi was its old friend.

Fusi observed Gu Qing Shan’s expression before slowly smiling and telling him: “You are very bright, I am—– as you humans put it, an undercover agent”

“You were an undercover agent?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

“Indeed”

“But your statue was already destroyed…”

Lady Fusi replied: “Even I wouldn’t be able to constantly prevent myself from being noticed by the enemy, so after I accomplished a few things and faked my death to leave [Chaos]”

Gu Qing Shan tried asking: “Then that statue—–”

Fusi replied: “The statue was a trigger for a dreamscape. You are currently standing inside my dream, after this dream is over, nothing will have ever happened, and no one would be able to confirm anything”

“This is one of the preparations I left behind in the [Chaos] faction, as I foresaw someone requiring this dreamscape at a certain moment in the future”

“—–after all, your current situation is a highly dangerous one” Fusi continued.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

Recalling his current situation, he understood what she was trying to say.

“I’m doing this to win against the Soul Shrieker, because as long as it sits on the Deific seat of [Chaos], I wouldn’t be able to kill it” Gu Qing Shan helplessly replied.

Fusi held her scepter straight in front of Gu Qing Shan and said: “Gu Qing Shan, you are the Earth God, one of the Four Pillar Gods of the void, a great entity on the side of [Order]. If you ever reach the Deific seat of [Chaos], you would surely be discovered by the Awaitings from the [Chaos] faction”

“This is a path of infinite danger, but I had already foreseen this from the River of Time”

She chanted an incantation with a whispering voice: “May all the great power of [Order] converge to my dream and exist with me”

Ray after ray of light descended from above, infusing into Fusi’s body.

Behind her, various great powers were slowly manifesting their forms.

——-they were the Awaitings of the [Order] faction, awakened by Lady Fusi for this moment.

They all exuded a friendly aura towards Gu Qing Shan.

“This is a critical battle between [Order] and [Chaos]”

Fusi muttered in a low voice:

“One of the four Pillar Gods of the void, Earth God Gu Qing Shan, this moment is the time of the Era of [Chaos]’s descent, as well as the awakening of [Order]. Your identity must definitely not be revealed to our enemies”

From the void, a snow-white sheet of parchment paper appeared and unrolled itself in front of them.

This was a covenant written in the ancient fairy script:

[Stipulated by this secret agreement, sincerely: The Controller of Time, the Unextinguishing Sand, the Lady of Legends, Sovereign of the elemental fairies, the Fairy of Time with the true name Fusi, hereby acknowledges in confidentiality with the master of the Earth Saint Pillar, Gu Qing Shan. All matters regarding the Earth Saint Pillar will be hidden and secured by the Lady until a moment in which the master of the Earth Saint Pillar, Gu Qing Shan, absolves this agreement]

At the bottom of the parchment were two extremely eye-catching bright red fingerprints.

It was the same covenant that Fusi and Gu Qing Shan jointly agreed on when he first inherited the Earth God title.

Fusi looked closely at the parchment and said emotionally: “At this moment, my strength alone is no longer enough to keep your identity a secret”

She suddenly raised her voice and chanted:

“Within the ashes of time, all secrets will eventually come to light. But we shall awaken from our slumber, thus jointly write our names upon the covenant to bear the guarantee of the Earth God’s secret identity”

“With the great power of us slumbering ones as proof, none shall be able to discover the Earth God’s true identity. The Earth God shall climb the Deific seat of [Chaos] with his own mortal flesh and identity as a living being!”

Oom!

The vast power converged at the top of the scepter as a brilliant cluster of light.

Fusi lightly tapped the tip of the scepter against the parchment.

The parchment immediately scattered into countless sprites of light and was absorbed into Gu Qing Shan’s body.

Fusi looked over Gu Qing Shan and smiled: “Your identity has now been hidden, but as you are currently within the bronze palace of [Chaos], you will still need to obtain a [Chaos] seed of power, otherwise you would be exposed”

Gu Qing Shan pondered and said: “Your power is probably not an option”

“Correct” Fusi replied, “My power can only manifest as an [Order] seed of power, so we must resort to other means”

She raised her scepter and lightly tapped the void of space.

A diamond-shaped sprite of light, a spherical cluster of a grey dog, and a glowing dark green leaf appeared in front of them.

Lady Fusi explained: “These three dreamscapes of [Chaos] are dreamscapes that I silently collected while taking advantage of unexpected opportunities. Each of them contains a seed of [Chaos] that originated from a dead Awaiting, so they will not draw any suspicions”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “In other words, I will be transported into the dreamscapes, after which I can attempt to inherit the [Chaos] seed of power contained within?”

Lady Fusi replied: “I’ve already cleaned up these three dreamscapes of [Chaos], so there are no trials or obstacles waiting. All you need to do is enter the dreamscape and retrieve its corresponding Dreamscape Soul Artifact to inherit the [Chaos] seed of power within”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the three dreamscapes of [Chaos].

No wonder the War God UI said that any mortal who wishes to obtain such a thing would only be able to do so in their dreams.

——it meant that one had to literally enter a dream.

Fusi continued: “Use your mind to sense and connect with them to see which is the most suitable for you”

Gu Qing Shan carefully sensed each one and smiled at Lady Fusi.

“I’m going”

“We shall be by your side, make sure to win against that Deity of [Chaos]”

“Leave it to me”

Gu Qing Shan lightly tapped the void of space in front of the dark green leaf.

Immediately, he and the green leaf vanished in front of Fusi.

…

A vast forest.

An endlessly lush forest of greenery.

The entire world was filled with trees and no other living beings.

The grass was greatly overgrown all over the ground.

Huge gusts of wind blew in from above, spreading the tall overgrown grass aside to reveal bits and pieces of bones, as well as incomplete dried-up remains.

Gu Qing Shan was standing on top of a great tree silently observing this dreamscape world.

“Lady Fusi said that everything had already been cleaned up…”

He muttered, then his eye was suddenly drawn to a faraway direction.

At the very edge of the world, another great tree that reached the top of the sky stood tall by itself.

——seems like that’s the place.

Gu Qing Shan leapt from the tree and flew towards that bigger tree.

The world was completely empty, other than the wind, plants, and corpses, there were no longer any living entities.

What exactly was the original trial of this [Chaos] dreamscape?

While wondering that, Gu Qing Shan approached the tree closer and closer.

He finally reached the tree’s vicinity.

A miraculous voice resounded in his heart.

“Above”

Gu Qing Shan looked up and started to climb towards the top of the tree.

Numerous corpses of all shapes and sizes were hung on the branches of this tree.

——every step he took, he would run into a large number of monster corpses.

Gu Qing Shan completely ignored them all and simply headed towards the top of the tree.

He looked around and quickly found the item he was looking for.

A dark green longbow.

Gu Qing Shan stepped forward and grabbed the longbow.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve obtained a container of Chaos power, a Chaos seed of power, Dreamscape Soul Artifact:]

[Bow of Fallen Souls]
