Chapter 1505: Captivity

Clakkkk!

The gems were continuously disappearing, being absorbed into the wall to supply the Sacred Gate with power.

Gu Qing Shan was the first to pop his head out from underneath the gems, followed by Boss and Scarlet.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly pulled Little Dusk up and laid her flat on top.

Scarlet asked in surprise: “Rhode, where did you get so many gems?”

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Boss to signal him, then answered: “This is the Overlord of Radiance’s treasure, Shroud was afraid that he would use them without limit, so he left them with me”

“That’s right, all of this is mine!” Boss patted his chest and declared.

“So that was it!” Scarlet was surprised.

After deceiving Scarlet, Gu Qing Shan faced Boss’ questioning gaze and silently sent his voice: “It was Laura, she thought of a way to send me the wealth of the Bramble Bird Kingdom”

“That’s great to hear” Boss only felt glad.

A furious roar resounded from outside again.

The secret room trembled continuously, once again filling up with cracks.

——–evidently, the other party had exerted more strength to destroy it.

The gems quickly reduced layer by layer as they were absorbed into the walls.

In the end, only a thin layer of gems remained on the ground, about to be absorbed as well.

「 Insects, inferior life forms, did you really believe you’d be safe hiding in a room like this? 」the voice loudly resounded.

——–the last of the gems disappeared.

The Sacred Gate nervously said: 「 It’s hitting me too hard. You need to somehow give me more gems, otherwise, we’re in trouble! 」

Gu Qing Shan and Boss both appeared calm.

Scarlet looked at them and couldn’t help but ask: “The two of you looked like you were ready to throw down your lives earlier, so why do you appear so calm now?”

Boss replied: “Scarlet, let me tell you a secret”

“What is it?”

“Money is a man’s courage”

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring.

Clack!

Innumerable gems once again enveloped everyone.

As the entity outside continued to attack, these gems disappeared layer by layer, once again reaching the end.

The voice resounded again from outside:

「 Pitiful fools, you might have harvested countless precious minerals from nature, thinking that they would last you for a very long time; unfortunately, you met me 」

Cracks once again appeared all over the room.

The Sacred Gate once again called out nervously: 「 Bosses, take a look at this—– 」

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring.

Clack clack!

Innumerable gems once again surrounded them.

And then, as the entity outside pressed its attacks, these gems disappeared layer by layer, once again reaching the bottom.

The voice resounded within everyone’s minds:

「 You have certainly collected many beautiful gems, a lot more than I had thought. It seems you’ve prepared quite sufficiently for hiding inside this secret room; but regretfully, you were up against me—— the Spirit of Creation that even the Myriad Deities must bow down to, the Lord of Infinite Origins! 」

On the screen, the long tentacle was no longer wrapped around the secret room but instead pulled back to swing at the secret room like a whip.

Bang!

One of the walls was instantly filled with cracks.

The Sacred Gate hurriedly called out: 「 Give me more gems! It’s too horrible! Without gems, we’ll die here! 」

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring.

Clack clack clack!

Innumerable gems once again surrounded them.

…

This process repeated 23 more times.

The 24th time——

The Sacred Gate tried begging: 「 Sir, please sir, I’m about to break here, can you please stop hitting? 」

Bam!

The door was cracked.

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring to replenish the gems.

The 36th time.

The tentacle was swinging wildly at the secret room.

The Sacred Gate begged for mercy: 「 Please stop hitting me, boss man. Even if you keep hitting me, I’ll keep being repaired, so can I have a little bit of peace? 」

The Lord of Infinite Origins said: 「 You damned insects, have you been doing nothing but collecting gems for your entire life? How laughable and pitiful! 」

Bam!

The door was cracked.

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring to replenish the gems.

The 65th time.

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring to take out a few canned drinks, tossing them to Boss and Scarlet.

“Drink it, it’s good for you” Gu Qing Shan told Scarlet.

Scarlet looked at Boss and saw that he had already pulled the tab and chugged it down.

Scarlet also took a sip.

Ah?

My injuries are being healed?

Scarlet was a bit surprised, then followed Boss and chugged it down.

The intense sound of banging resounded from outside the secret room——-

Bam!

The door was cracked.

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring to replenish the gems.

The 91th time.

Little Dusk had also woken up and was drinking one of the canned drinks.

The voice shouted in fury: 「 Even if my injuries haven’t healed, I would still be able to make you use up all of your gems 」

The Sacred Gate spoke sadly: 「 Boss Deity King, I’ve already been broken so many times already, please calm down and stop beating me! 」

Bam!

The door was cracked.

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring and replenished the gems.

The—–

365th time.

The Sacred Gate shouted out loud: 「 Hit harder! You hungry or something? What did you do yesterday that made you so shaky? Put your back into it! 」

It was completely silent outside.

It wasn’t until a while later that the predicted hit finally arrived.

Bam!

The walls of the secret room slowly became cracked.

Gu Qing Shan moved the ring to release a bunch of gems.

——-the secret room was completely repaired.

The voice appeared both unwilling to accept the truth and confused, then declared once again:

「 Very well, insects, the number of gems you’ve prepared had far exceeded my estimations, but regardless, I have already imprisoned you here 」

「 ——-You will be trapped here for all eternity, having nothing to eat, nothing to drink, no cultivation resources, and nothing that you can use. Dying in the darkness shall be your ultimate fate 」

After saying this, the long tentacle pulled back and went away.

Only the small secret room remained in the boundless darkness.

“He’s right” Gu Qing Shan commented.

“Yeah, if I were him, I’d think that this was a good idea as well” Boss replied.

Clack!

Their chopsticks intersected, then avoided each other as they each took a piece of beef from the hotpot.

Little Dusk was sitting on one side, putting in more meat for everyone.

Little Dusk had a bottle of liquor in her lap, she was drinking while also stealing some seaweed from Gu Qing Shan’s bowl.

——they were having dinner.

There was naturally some food in Laura’s treasury—— since everyone had a very deep impression of Gu Qing Shan’s cooking, and since she found out that Gu Qing Shan was trapped inside a small room, she had made sure to prepare plenty of ingredients.

“So spicy!”

Little Dusk tried a piece of meat and stuck out her tongue.

Scarlet handed her bottle to Little Dusk and said: “Here, you’ll feel better after a sip”

Right as Little Dusk was about to drink, Gu Qing Shan stopped her.

“You can’t drink her alcohol, if you do, you’re going to collapse right away” Gu Qing Shan said.

He gave her a bottle of fruit juice instead.

The four of them enjoyed a healthy meal.

Gu Qing Shan put the pot away, then prepared a few snacks.

Once everyone had finished, he took out a few dozen bottles of different alcohol and told Scarlet: “Thank you for transferring your life force to me earlier. Since we have some time right now, give each of these bottles a little taste and commit their taste to mind. After a bit, I’ll teach you alcohol mixing techniques in detail”

Scarlet’s eyes lit up brightly and loudly said: “Got it!”

Gu Qing Shan left her to herself, then went to Boss and Little Dusk: “Both of you, come here with me”

“What’s the matter?”

“Come here first”

The two of them were a bit puzzled but still followed him.

Gu Qing Shan told them with a stern expression: “While that guy still believes that he has us trapped, I need to use a profound force to remove all of your links with him”

Boss shook his head: “That couldn’t possibly be done. In reality, he is the will of the world itself, the original omnipotent God capable of linking himself with all things. He’s just currently injured without being able to heal, otherwise, we would have already fallen under his control”

Scarlet thought further and asked: “Why did he suddenly show up? Was it because he noticed that both of you happened to be in a state where you couldn’t fight?”

Gu Qing Shan and Boss exchanged glances.

This was a good question.

“Other than this reason, it’s possible that… it isn’t quite that simple…” Boss pondered and replied.

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Scarlet’s expression became grim and said: “When he took control of me, I wasn’t able to resist at all. Without Rhode’s sword strike, I wouldn’t have regained my senses and would have attacked you”

Gu Qing Shan put up one finger and told them: “But it wasn’t able to take control of Scarlet and I, so now, I’m going to do something that the two of you need to do with me—– this is the ultimate secret that would allow you to escape his control”

“Got it!” Scarlet and Boss both replied with delight.

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and shifted into a graceful pose.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

A series of glowing text appeared in front of his vision:

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

[This session shall be a 3-person group dance. As the lead dancer, you will guide your two dance partners to experience the wonders of the Dance]

[Let us begin with a series of warm-up steps]

[Perk up your head, puff out your chest, and wiggle your buttocks—–]

[Music, go!]

Doong!

Doong, doong, doong!

Dum dum tsh! Dum dum tsh!

A series of rhythmic drumming resounded out of nowhere.

Boss’ expression changed and exclaimed: “Why is this devil—— this Dance that even devils worship?”

Gu Qing Shan glared at him and sent his voice: “Watch your words, do you want to die?”

Boss was soaked in cold sweat.

A second later, he noticed that he had lost control of his body and began to strongly wiggle his butt.

“Hey, are you saying that Scarlet also escaped his control like this?” Boss asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied with a stern expression: “Exactly! This is the only method to escape his control, you will need to change your world jurisdiction in order to not be under its control”

Little Dusk also began to follow his lead and asked with an amused voice: “By just performing this charming Dance?”

Gu Qing Shan made a pose where he puckered up his lips, then answered very seriously: “That’s right”

Boss: “…”

Little Dusk covered her mouth and giggled: “Whoa, I like this Dance”

She happily followed, the more she danced, the better she became, several times better than Boss was doing.

While the three of them were dancing, something appeared from the void of space.

When everyone turned to look, they saw that it was a Card that had silently appeared in front of Little Dusk.

Little Dusk glanced at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan naturally saw the notification on the War God UI and happily told her: “Nicely done, you’ve received the favor of the Dance, this Card was a reward from the Dance to you, take it!”

Little Dusk then took the Card with her hand and read its description out loud:

“Causality Law technique: [Weapon Prohibition]”
