Chapter 1512: Key of the Myriad Deities’ Consent

The divine palace of Fate was a complete mess.

The statues of the three Deities of Fate had been completely destroyed, leaving their fragments all over the ground.

The orange cat sat down in front of one of the fragments and lightly poked it with his paw.

「 What are you doing? 」

The Earth sword asked with its mountainous heavy voice.

The orange cat continued to poke at various fragments and answered: “When Reneedol escaped, she made sure to destroy these three statues, so I assume they carry some sort of unique meaning”

Rumble rumble rumble——–

An intense quake could be heard from far above them.

——-more and more Samsara debris was falling down, so it was completely unknown how long the Lord of Infinite Origins would be able to hold them up.

The orange cat listened for a brief moment before saying: “Alright, let’s leave the statues until later. The more important thing right now is to resurrect Lachesis”

Luo Bing Li hesitantly said: “Her situation is too unique; I can only give it a try without guaranteeing success”

“Then let’s give it a try” the orange cat insisted.

He carefully put the mass of dirt on the ground, then took a few steps back.

“Ready?”

“Let’s go”

The orange cat’s tail swung, turning the Heaven sword into a flash of cold gleam that cut through the mass of dirt.

——[Chaotic Flow] has been activated!

An inexplicable fluctuation was transferred from the sword into the mass of dirt, causing it to hover.

“So, did it succeed?” the orange cat asked.

Luo Bing Li yawned, then barely managed to squeeze out an answer: “I’m not very sure, the situation is a bit strange, take a look by yourself, I’m going to sleep…”

The Heaven sword went completely silent.

In front of the orange cat, the mass of dirt hovered in the air and swiftly formed the shape of a woman.

Before she fully manifested her form, she had already declared with a solemn and dignified voice:

“Among the three Deities of Fate, one is responsible for birthing Fate, one is responsible for ending Fate, while I’m the master of Fate who’s responsible for controlling the Fates of all Deities”

——-Lachesis!

Her form had fully manifested, but her body was still made of dirt and dust, not a true body of flesh and blood.

“Who was it? Who attempted to resurrect me?”

She hovered in the air, asking with a confused tone.

The orange cat returned to Gu Qing Shan’s form and spoke: “It’s me”

Lachesis was surprised:

“So it was you, unrestrained Death God. I do not know what method you used to achieve this, but the fact that you were able to steal my corpse and attempt to resurrect me had proven that you and Atropos are not two on the same path”

“Why did you call me the unrestrained Death God?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Lachesis replied: “Because you’ve already taken the Law of Death as your own possession. The Lord of Infinite Origins could no longer influence your thoughts through the Law, and I cannot control your Fate”

Gu Qing Shan pondered: “If you’ve already taken control of the Myriad Deities’ Fate, why did you fall into such circumstances?”

“Because all living beings and all things, including the three Deities of Fate themselves, exists within Fate—— you should know of the Twin Tree of Fate, it was a creation from the Law of Fate in order to decide the destiny of we sisters”

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

The Law of Fate is all-encompassing, not even the Deities who wield it cannot escape its influence.

Just like Black Hound who was manifested by the Law of Death. While it originated from Death, it must still be fearful of death.

Lachesis suddenly appeared panicked as her tone became faster: “I do not have a lot of time to talk to you, but there is something you must understand. The three Deities of Fate had returned to one, I cannot be resurrected by you”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “Then what about your presence here—–”

Lachesis held onto the dirt and dust that made up her body and flew into the divine palace of Fate.

Landing where the three statues originally were, she told Gu Qing Shan: “A long time ago, the Myriad Deities jointly manifested three Divine Artifacts for us sisters of Fate, hoping to resist against the Lord of Infinite Origins in the future”

“These three Divine Artifacts contain unimaginably vast power, the likes of which no one could fight against”

“Clotho wielded the [Tear of Deities]—— a pendant clad in starlight, capable of manifesting unlimited Origin power at the user’s will to form various weapons for combat”

“Atropos wielded the [Plate of Destiny’s End], capable of warding against all disasters and attacks, it could even form a life connection to the enemy—— which would cause an enemy to receive double of any damage she received”

“And I, as the only one among the Myriad Deities who actually could see Fate—-”

Lachesis’ body flashed and turned into a mass of dirt and dust and reformed in front of Gu Qing Shan.

“I placed that Divine Artifact in the Dusty World, at the secret hiding place of the Myriad Deities”

She whispered into Gu Qing Shan’s ears.

After saying so, Lachesis quickly chanted an incantation.

A key that glowed with a dim light appeared in her hand.

She put the key into Gu Qing Shan’s hand and said: “This is the [Key of Myriad Deities’ Consent], only an unrestrained Deity who wouldn’t fall under the Lord of Infinite Origins’ control would be able to use this key to enter the Dusty World and retrieve my Divine Artifact”

“If someone who isn’t an unrestrained Deity tried to hold it, the key would return to the hands of its previous owner” Lachesis stared closely at Gu Qing Shan’s hand and quickly traced something in his hand.

“And you’re just giving something so precious to me?” Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.

“It was only now that I’ve managed to see a small bit of the course of Fate—– Death God, you are the only hope”

After saying that, Lachesis’ body suddenly shook.

The dirt and dust that formed her face slowly collapsed, unable to maintain her form.

Lachesis stopped holding Gu Qing Shan’s hand and took two steps back, glancing down at the fragments on the ground.

——-before Reneedol left, she had destroyed all of these statues

“Hmph, that fool, did she really think that I’d hide the Divine Artifact inside the three statues?” Lachesis scoffed.

Her body was finally unable to hold itself up any longer and began crumbling into fine dust starting from the foot up.

When she only had her head left, she sighed in a lonely manner and said:

“In the past, I once predicted that someone in the far future would attack our statues, so I made sure to imbue the statues with strong defensive measures to ensure that they remain intact”

“Never did I think that the one who ultimately caused the statues to break was actually one of us three sisters of Fate”

After saying that, the dirt completely turned to dust and fell to the ground.

She had died again.

At the very next moment, a person appeared in the divine palace.

Reneedol.

She stared closely at the gloomy key in Gu Qing Shan’s hand and said: “Rhode, that does not belong to you”

Gu Qing Shan turned his hand around and put the key into his Inventory Bag.

He sat down, collected all the dust on the ground, then stored them into a jade box again before putting it away into his Inventory Bag as well.

Reneedol’s gaze became focused and suddenly smiled: “Rhode, how did you revive her? And where did you get that dust?”

She was exuding killing intent.

Boundless starlight had manifested from her pendant to form countless stars around her body.

Gu Qing Shan answered leisurely without changing his expression: “That’s a very long story. I was exploring the underground river by myself when I suddenly discovered a divine palace that was almost fully submerged in water, so I approached it to take a look. For some reason, this mass of dust was lying on top of the roof of the palace, which formed the message ‘save me'”

“And then?” Reneedol asked.

“Then I asked it how I should save it, so it rearranged itself into another message that said ‘I will lead you to a divine palace, then grant you the ultimate Divine Artifact’, it also told me a lot of secrets.

“And you simply believed it?” Reneedol asked again.

“Of course, how shouldn’t I believe such a good thing?” Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised.

“Then, what happened next?” Reneedol asked.

Gu Qing Shan explained: “After I arrived here, she resurrected just as she had said, then gave me a key. Tch tch, if it was such a sudden opportunity and pleasant surprise, I wouldn’t mind running into more of them”

Reneedol slightly furrowed her eyebrows and said: “No, that is a Fate Divine Artifact, only those with the power of Fate can wield it, it’s not suitable for you”

Gu Qing Shan grinned, casually took out the key again and tossed it to Reneedol.

Reneedol caught the key.

It instantly disappeared and returned to Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

“Seems like you’re incorrect” Gu Qing Shan examined the key a bit and put it away.

“What’s going on?” Reneedol asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “This is the [Key of Myriad Deities’ Consent], only an unrestrained Deity who wouldn’t fall under the Lord of Infinite Origins’ control would be able to use this key to enter the Dusty World and retrieve the corresponding Divine Artifact”

“An unrestrained Deity?” Reneedol repeated.

“That’s right”

Gu Qing Shan nodded, then raised one hand: “I vow that everything I said regarding this key was the truth; if I had lied to you in any way, I, Rhode, would forever lose the power of Law and no longer the possessor of the Law of Death”

Rings of black flames appeared from his body, circled several times around him, then swiftly returned.

Reneedol silently watched this, then silently said with a cold voice: “And so, you’re the only one who could use this key?”

“That’s right. Since I have such a treasure, I’ll probably become incredibly powerful in the future” Gu Qing Shan proudly boasted.

Reneedol looked at him, unable to say anything for a while.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going first” Gu Qing Shan said.

Reneedol immediately asked: “How did you arrive here? Or rather, how are you going to leave?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “She led me through a teleportation circle—— in a corner of the divine palace of Death, she used the power of the Deity of Fate to activate a few letters and then we arrived here”

Reneedol appeared convinced.

There was indeed such a circle.

However, that was a truly ancient formation that no one should know about, nor even come to find it.

No wonder Rhode was able to find this place, it seems Lachesis had truly used a method I didn’t know about in an attempt to give the Divine Artifact to someone who isn’t me.

Dream on!

Reneedol raised her hand and lightly grasped the starlight around her.

The starlight surged forward and manifested into a bow in her hand.

“Rhode”

“Huh? Ah? What a beautiful bow, are you going to give it to me, sister?”

Gu Qing Shan put a hand on his chest and acted excited.

Reneedol scoffed and said: “Care to take a guess?”

An immense pressure appeared from her body.

Even the release of this pressure caused Gu Qing Shan to almost falter.

——-this was the power of a Divine Artifact jointly created by millions of Deities in the past, it surpasses all imagination, specifically created to rival the Lord of Infinite Origins.

Aside from the Lord of Infinite Origins, no one would even be a match for it!

Gu Qing Shan fixed his expression and was about to say something when layers of light suddenly appeared from his body.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Your mutual savior: Boss, is performing a reverse summoning on you, would you like to accept the summon?]
