Chapter 1455: Double Fate abilities!

Reneedol had left.

The only person in the wilderness was Gu Qing Shan.

He had stood there for a while.

Luo Bing Li silently asked him from inside his Thought Sea: “Aren’t you going to return? Wouldn’t there be issues on Shannu’s side?”

“She’ll be fine, the only thing she needs to do is chat with Shroud and Atley, what I’m worried about is something else” Gu Qing Shan said.

「 What would that be? 」the Earth sword asked.

“In Reneedol’s impression, we’ve created two swordsmen, one was Red Wraith, the other was Mara Heavenly King” Gu Qing Shan explained.

「 Yes 」the Earth sword replied.

“She now has Spatial abilities, capable of traversing a large distance at once, so she might be able to head towards the North and try to search for Mara Heavenly King” Gu Qing Shan continued.

Luo Bing Li understood what he meant and said: “If she couldn’t find any information regarding Mara Heavenly King no matter how much she searched, then that would be terrible”

「 That’s true, she would find out that she had been deceived 」the Earth sword said.

“If Mara Heavenly King was fake, then Red Wraith could also be fake, and so could everything else” Gu Qing Shan concluded.

Luo Bing Li sighed: “That’s why people say that a lie must be hidden by numerous other lies, continuing without ending”

「 There was an idiom about this—— there is no wall that could completely block out the wind 」the Earth sword also commented.

Gu Qing Shan paused for a short moment, then called out to Shannu through his Thought Sea.

“What’s the matter, gongzi?” Shannu replied.

“Has Reneedol returned yet?”

“Not yet”

Gu Qing Shan nodded as he heard her.

Although Reneedol was interested in the Law Behemoths, the entire World of Laws was currently in the middle of a chaotic battle, so not even she had the courage to arbitrarily enter.

And since she hasn’t returned to the camp, the only thing she could have done was to search for Mara Heavenly King.

“Shannu, come here for a bit, we have something we need to do” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Yes” Shannu replied.

She stood up next to Atley.

“Rhode, where are you going?” Atley asked.

“To the toilet”

Shannu, who had disguised as Rhode, went into the forest and instantly disappeared.

After using [Ground Shrink] several times, she appeared next to Gu Qing Shan.

“What’s the matter, gongzi?” she asked.

“We don’t have much time, so we’re going to test out something right now” Gu Qing Shan quickly told her.

He waved his hand towards the void of space.

A gourd-shaped pendant appeared out of nowhere and hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.

It playfully bobbed up and down as it circled around Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan held it in his hand and transferred a bit of Soul Points over.

The gourd pendant let out a glimmering faint glow.

Xiu——– xiu——–

It lightly called out.

Gu Qing Shan carefully explained: “Shannu, listen well, I’m going to have Adorable grant me the ability it had saved, and since you have [Living’s Wisdom], you should be exactly the same as another ‘me’—— I want you to try and see if you and I can use the same borrowed ability from Adorable at once”

Shannu understood and asked: “I understand, but what kind of ability are we going to borrow? And what are we going to do?”

Gu Qing Shan explained his plan to her.

One Red Wraith.

One Mara Heavenly King.

Since both these names had been stated, they can’t be changed, and must continue to be used.

As for those two Wraith realm Divine Artifacts, if they happen to run into Reneedol in the future…

Gu Qing Shan could only say sorry now.

After listening to him, Shannu nodded.

She first used [Mystery of All Beings Equal] to transform into Qi Yan’s appearance from the Suspended world.

Gu Qing Shan also transformed into a cultivator who died in the hands of the Desolate monsters during the Age of Old.

Through the All Beings Equal Law, both he and Shannu had completely turned into these people.

Who individuals whose backgrounds are impossible to investigate.

Everything was ready.

So they’ll begin.

Gu Qing Shan turned to Adorable.

Adorable let out a ‘xiu’, expressing that there were no issues.

“Good, then get ready——”

Gu Qing Shan shouted: “Adorable, grant me [Hundred Lanterns]!”

At the same time, Shannu also called out: “Adorable, grant me [Hundred Lanterns]!”

After trembling for a bit, Adorable uttered a ‘xiu!’

Two invisible waves emanated from Adorable onto Gu Qing Shan and Shannu.

Gu Qing Shan instantly spoke: “At the far North, there exists a swordsman called Mara Heavenly King. He is the strongest swordsman in the world, but he drifts about erratically without staying anywhere for too long, only those with considerable background and strength would know that he is indeed somewhere in the far North, but doesn’t know the exact location”

Shannu then followed: “Among the ten strongest swordsmen in the world, everyone else had all been killed by Mara Heavenly King, only the 7th rank Red Wraith was still locked in a battle to the death with him. This was common sense known to everyone, a death battle between swordsmen that everyone are keeping their eyes peeled for a conclusion”

——Fate ability, [Existence]!

When Lin activated her Fate ability to turn into the 12-winged seraph, Adorable borrowed this almost miraculous Fate ability from her.

At this crucial point in time, Lin’s Fate ability had finally been used.

After using the ability, Gu Qing Shan turned to the War God UI.

A line of glowing text quickly appeared:

[You’ve used the Fate ability: Existence. While you’re using the All Beings Equal Law to take the form of this cultivator, you will be recognized as the strongest swordsman in the world, Mara Heavenly King]

Gu Qing Shan then turned to Shannu.

Shannu had now taken Qi Yan’s form, her expression still a bit unsure.

“I can sense that my transformation has been recognized by the world——– Shannu, did you succeed as well?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Shannu was a bit confused: “I simply tried my best to use [Living’s Wisdom], but I’m not sure whether or not it had succeeded”

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: “There’s a camp of a wizard nearby, try showing your face and see their reactions”

“Yes”

Shannu maintained Qi Yan’s appearance and vanished.

She had appeared inside Wizard Rodri’s camp.

As soon as they saw her, everyone exclaimed in shock: “Red Wraith!”

Wizard Rodri stepped out in front of everyone and spoke in a cautious tone: “The 7th strongest swordsman in the world, Red Wraith. I know about you, why are you here?”

He had his staff ready to invoke a spell at any moment.

Shannu glanced at him, then at the crowd.

Only to see them all in an alarmed state as if facing some terrifying enemy.

———to them, she was the legendary Red Wraith!

Although the atmosphere wasn’t appropriate, Shannu still couldn’t help herself smiling.

Success!

I was able to borrow Adorable’s stolen Fate ability.

And also, this Fate ability is truly excellent.

She instantly vanished, having used [Ground Shrink] to return to Gu Qing Shan.

“It’s done” she reported.

“Very well, then this lie has turned into the truth, we’re going to head back now!” Gu Qing Shan said.

Shannu returned to her original appearance, then turned back into a sword and entered Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea.

Gu Qing Shan also cancelled his ‘Mara Heavenly King’ transformation and turned back into Rhode.

I can’t waste any more time.

Gu Qing Shan consecutively used [Ground Shrink] to return to their camp.

After waiting for two breaths’ worth of time, he exited the forest.

At this point, the horizon was glowing slightly bright, Epta and Scarlet had both fallen asleep while leaning on one another.

Shroud and Atley were deep in their conversation.

“Then, when we form a covenant with a Law Behemoth, will I be able to change my mind?” Atley asked.

“Why would you change your mind?” Shroud asked doubtfully.

“If—– I’m just saying hypothetically, what if the other party isn’t the Law that you admire and you wanted to reject them?” Atley asked.

Shroud shook his head: “Law Behemoths are advanced lifeforms beyond our understanding, if you refuse them, no one would know how you would end up. This would also be dependent on which Law Behemoth you’re dealing with, and what their personality is like”

“Which means, it would be a huge risk?” Rhode chimed in.

He sat back down.

“That’s right, we mortals wouldn’t be able to discern the thoughts of the Law Behemoths” Shroud replied.

He then suddenly stood up and headed into the forest.

“Where are you going?” Atley looked at him and asked.

“Taking a piss” Shroud stretched his back.

Rhode stood back up: “I’m going as well”

Atley complained: “Rhode, you’ve gone three times already, are you sure your bladder isn’t damaged?”

Rhode glared at him.

He and Shroud each found a secluded spot to relieve themselves.

A few moments later.

They both returned.

“Shroud”

“Hm?”

“Reneedol has been gone for a really long while, where is she?” Gu Qing Shan absentmindedly asked.

Shroud stopped.

After some hesitation, he loudly called out: “Reneedol?”

No answer.

Shroud was a bit worried.

He fully unleashed his presence and shouted with all his strength: “Reneedol, where are you?”

His voice rang out loudly, spreading in every direction.

Still no answer.

Atley rushed towards them, even Epta and Scarlet were woken up and followed.

“What’s the matter?” Atley asked.

“Reneedol is missing” Shroud said worriedly.

Suddenly, a voice replied.

“I’m here”

Everyone turned back, only to see Reneedol slowly walking out of a thick bush, looking really worn-out.

Shroud sighed in relief, about to greet her.

Gu Qing Shan caught his hand.

“Wait, Shroud” Gu Qing Shan’s expression turned serious.

Shroud was a bit confused.

Reneedol also turned to Gu Qing Shan.

“Rhode, what’s the matter?” she asked.

Gu Qing Shan faced her gaze and asked: “Weren’t you going to the toilet, why did it take you so long?”

Reneedol’s expression remained calm and replied: “It only took a bit long, what’s wrong with that?”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “…I feel like you’re somehow different from your previous self”

Everyone thought about it, then also agreed.

Indeed, after Reneedol was captured and reunited with everyone, she had changed somewhat.

Her gestures, words, even her mannerism had become a bit different.

What’s going on here?

Everyone had this same thought.

“How am I different?” Reneedol asked.

“You… aren’t quite as close to Shroud as you previously were, and you frighten me a bit” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Reneedol smiled.

Of course, I wouldn’t be the same.

But youngsters like you wouldn’t see through something like soul substitution.

Even the Law Behemoths wouldn’t be able to see through it.

With that in mind, she replied with a normal expression: “I really was relieving myself; it was because I had a stomach ache that it took so long”

Stomachache.

That’s why it took so long.

Usually… no one would be able to refute these words.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t want to let her go so easily.

“Oh? You said that it took so long because you had a stomach ache?” he asked.

“That’s right,” Reneedol replied.

“Very well, where did you do it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Reneedol froze, she even thought that she misheard him for a moment.

Gu Qing Shan asked with a very serious expression: “Excrements won’t lie, so where did you do it?”
