Chapter 1490: Offering Dance of Three Lives

Reneedol looked at Shroud, then at Gu Qing Shan.

“What’s wrong with Rhode?” she asked in a whisper.

Gu Qing Shan had fallen deep in thought, alone in his own world, so much so that he didn’t even notice them approaching.

Little Dusk also appeared concerned and took out a Card: “He looks a bit tired, should I use a healing technique on him?”

“Don’t” Boss waved his hand, “He’s currently thinking about a pivotal matter regarding the Law of Death, we shouldn’t bother him right now”

Hearing him say that, the two girls felt less concerned.

Boss looked at the two girls and asked: “Reneedol, is this your new friend?”

Reneedol shook her head: “Shroud, I’ve never known until this point, but I have a younger sister”

Boss naturally knew the situation, but still acted surprised: “You have a younger sister?”

“That’s right, she’s my twin from the Tree of Fate, Dusk” Reneedol replied.

Little Dusk looked at Boss and smiled: “Nice to meet you, brother-in-law”

Brother-in-law?

Boss remained silent for a brief moment before he suddenly took out the Book of Prophesized Destinies and chanted an incantation.

He took out a trunk.

“Take it, you’re Reneedol’s younger sister, so you’re my younger sister as well. This is a greeting gift from brother-in-law to you”

He generously put the trunk in front of Little Dusk.

When Little Dusk opened it, she found that it was full of precious gems, all of which were part of the Overlord of Radiance’s numerous years of collection, so they were all highly valuable.

“Whoa, this is too much, brother-in-law, I can’t accept this” Little Dusk was shocked.

“It’s ok, these things are nothing but a bit of my sincerity” Boss casually said.

Reneedol furrowed her eyebrows and wanted to say something, but ultimately kept quiet.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan suddenly stood up.

He muttered: “Since there are no other ways, this is the only remaining solution…”

At the very next moment.

Gu Qing Shan took a strange stance.

Dong!

As he formed the stance, a series of drumming could be heard from the void of space.

Boss’ expression changed and quickly pulled the two girls outside.

“Where is that drumming coming from?” Reneedol curiously asked.

“Brother-in-law, what’s the matter?” Little Dusk also asked.

Boss didn’t say anything and ran straight towards the entrance of the secret room, kicked the door open, then pulled the two girls out.

Bam!

He then slammed the door behind him.

—–barely made it!

Boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and leaned on the door, feeling like he was lucky to survive a calamity.

The two girls were still confusedly staring at him.

Boss thought briefly before carefully explaining: “You only need to know that this is a type of cultivation that’s unique to Rhode, you absolutely cannot get involved with it”

The two girls pondered these words.

——-is it because he’s the Death God?

They thought of the same thing.

“Come on, let’s get out of here!”

Boss brought the two girls along and hurriedly left this place.

…

The secret room.

A rhythmic music beat began to play.

Gu Qing Shan stood still and read the lines of glowing text appearing in the void of space:

[You’ve begun to practice the Living Being Sacrificial Dance]

[Attention, this is your first dance practice session after a very long time, the Dance will help you get accustomed to basic knowledge once more]

[We will begin with the basic posture]

[First, swing your hip from side to side to warm up——-]

Gu Qing Shan began to diligently practice the Dance.

Against an enemy that he cannot win against by force, he had always resorted to looking for the enemy’s weakness and winning in a single strike.

Against an enemy so strong that he feels despair, the only remaining hope was this Dance.

Gu Qing Shan practiced until he was soaked in sweat as if it had rained.

His foundations were considerable, and he was shameless enough to perform even the embarrassing dance moves without a pause.

After three repetitions, the music beat began to change.

The drumming became heavier and more desolate.

Indiscernible whispers began to turn into chanting, almost as if they were summoning something.

A mystical atmosphere filled the entire room.

Gu Qing Shan maintained his calm and glanced at the void of space again.

A new series of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Attention, you’ve finished warming up]

[You’ve once completed the Living Being Sacrificial Dance’s fourth stage, the Sword Dance of Offering]

[You’re now attempting to practice the Living Being Sacrificial Dance’s fifth stage, the Offering Dance of Three Lives]

[Attention, this is only practice]

[——but you still require a dance partner, as the Offering Dance of Three Lives is a Causality Dance]

Causality Dance!

Gu Qing Shan’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster and asked: “Is the Offering Dance of Three Lives a powerful combat dance?”

[It is not a combat dance, and it is also impossible for it to kill your enemies, but it has its own unique function] the War God UI replied.

Gu Qing Shan was disappointed.

If it isn’t a combat dance, he wouldn’t be able to use it against an enemy.

——-but since I’ve already begun the dance, I need to finish it without stopping halfway.

Before he’s exhausted, he had never tried to actively stop the dance halfway.

Lines of glowing text continued to appear:

[No suitable dance partner has been found in your surroundings, now activating the power of ‘Longing’ and stimulating the thread of Fate to find you a suitable partner]

“Hey—— does it really need to be so official?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask.

…

At another location.

Scarlet had just put the star she just manifested away with a bright smile.

“This is it; this is the power I need!”

She told herself.

For some reason, she had a sudden thought.

“My power of Death had grown so much stronger now, I wonder what level Rhode is currently at——- I think he’s in the secret room together with Shroud, let’s go look for him”

Scarlet took 5-6 bottles of liquor with her and left her room towards the secret room.

As soon as she opened the door, she was sucked inside by an invisible force.

All the bottles fell on the ground intact and neatly lined themselves up next to the door.

The force gently carried Scarlet and put her in front of Gu Qing Shan.

“Huh? Rhode, what’s going on?”

Scarlet asked in confusion.

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

—–are we going to be shaking our buttocks together now?

—–how am I supposed to explain this to Scarlet?

—–if she says something careless out of fear, this Dance is going to take her life.

Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts quickly turned and told her with a stern expression: “Scarlet, this is an especially powerful Dance. I will only teach you once, you need to seriously experience and savor it”

Seeing how solemn he was, Scarlet also became tense.

“I understand, I’ll definitely do my best to study it!” she answered solemnly.

The faint sound of a flute drifted in from the faraway void of space.

[Offering Dance of Three Lives, begin!]

Gu Qing Shan took Scarlet’s hand.

The dance steps naturally appeared in his mind.

Gu Qing Shan guided Scarlet, leapt into the air, then stepped forward——

Scarlet very naturally coordinated with him and moved her body.

The music began to speed up towards the climax.

Gu Qing Shan held Scarlet in his arms and gracefully spun in the air within the elegant music.

Suddenly, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Congratulations, you’ve obtained the Authority of World Jurisdiction!]

[Your dance partner belongs to the ‘Rivers of Life and Death’ world system]

[You may now change her world jurisdiction]

[The current available jurisdictions are as follow: Rivers of Life and Death, Samsara]

[If you continue to choose ‘Rivers of Life and Death’, please twirl towards your left to maintain her world jurisdiction]

[If you want to change it, please perform a series of continuous short hops to change your dance partner’s world jurisdiction to: Samsara]

Gu Qing Shan was shaken.

Rivers of Life and Death!

Samsara!

At this moment, Gu Qing Shan seemed to have seen through the essence of the world itself, sensing the numerous foundational principles behind numerous worlds.

Gu Qing Shan pondered these words a bit and quickly asked: “If I change her world jurisdiction, would she still be able to use the power of Death?”

The War God UI replied: [That depends on you]

Gu Qing Shan felt assured.

—–In the Rivers of Life and Death world system, you remain eternally in the River of Death.

Then she would be better off in the Samsara!

In the tiny chance that Scarlet dies, at least I’d be able to care for her somewhat as the Huang Quan Devil King.

Gu Qing Shan’s right hand gently held Scarlet firmly at her hip, then he performed a series of graceful short hops.

[Your dance partner’s world jurisdiction has been changed]

[Name: Scarlet]

[World jurisdiction: Samsara]

[Due to the unique characteristic of the Samsara, you may examine her three lives of past, present, and future]

[As Scarlet is a newly inducted Samsara being, she temporarily does not have three lives for you to examine]

[You’ve expended all of your power]

[This practice session is over]

[The Offering Dance of Three Lives is the foundation of the Sacrificial Dance’s 6th stage, although it doesn’t contribute to combat, you must still treat it with respect and fully explore its capabilities]

[Please continue to diligently practice]

All the glowing text disappeared.

The sound of music slowly faded away in the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan sat down on the spot, soaked in sweat.

Scarlet excitedly looked at him and curiously asked: “Rhode, that was just a short dance, how did you get so exhausted?”

—–she has no idea what just occurred.

Gu Qing Shan breathed heavily and waved his hand dismissively: “You can still dance?”

“Of course, that was so fun, and I’m not tired at all” Scarlet sat down right next to him.

Suddenly, Scarlet recalled something.

She waved her hand to summon the bottles of liquor in front of her and Gu Qing Shan.

“Rhode, I’ve just discovered something” Scarlet said.

She took out a glass and poured in a bit of liquor from every bottle.

“About what? Is it related to the power of Death?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“It is, I discovered that if you mix several kinds of alcohol together, you’d get drunk faster” Scarlet seriously told him.

Gu Qing Shan: “…And then?”

“You’d also be able to gain more power!”

Scarlet reached her hand forward.

A cluster of extremely concentrated black flames manifested in her hand.

This much power of Death… had almost caught up to Gu Qing Shan’s power as the Death God.

Gu Qing Shan blankly looked at this.

I’m pretty sure the living beings of this era still haven’t come up with the concept of mixing alcohol to drink.

And yet Scarlet randomly thought about this.

It’s over, even cocktails have been discovered, the form of the domain of Death has practically been set in stone.

“Scarlet, this is… called mixology”

“Heh! It’s great, I love it!”
