Chapter 1558: The predestined princess

Gu Qing Shan walked out of the grand hall and stood in the hallway leading towards the grand hall.

“Why are you stopping here? We should be hurrying up to find a place to secretly examine this sword” Boss asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I also think so, but Lin told me to wait for her”

Boss thought briefly and asked confusedly: “Ah right, you did tell me earlier——- does she really want to fight with you? That can’t be right, now that both of you are currently in the middle of a covert operation, wouldn’t fighting complicate things?”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t reply.

A second later, Lady Darksea’s voice suddenly sounded:

[Founder of Order, Order King of War, greetings]

[Envoy: Crow had spread the seed of Order in 1673 worlds, his mission is still ongoing]

[Human Regiment is currently growing stronger]

[However, some talents with exceptional potential have been found to be facing insurmountable obstacles right as they had only just begun to grow. Their current powers have been judged to be insufficient for their circumstances, they might even lose their lives]

[They are the foundations of Order, once they mature, they would surely influence the Era of Order in a significant manner]

[Requesting permission for them to summon the two of you using resources that they had personally collected]

[Please!]

Gu Qing Shan thought a bit and said: “I’m currently disguised as Cang Wu Zhang and officially responsible for fixing the sword fragments, it would cause suspicions if I suddenly disappear, how about you make a trip there, Boss?”

Boss replied: “That’s fine, there won’t be an issue with leaving such matters to me”

Lady Darksea said: [King of War, I will be teleporting you to one such dire location to save one such member of Order. In return, I will accumulate all the resources that those members of Order had offered up to summon you, up until I gather enough to help you return to human form]

Boss asked with a delighted tone: “You could do such a thing?”

Lady Darksea replied: [I couldn’t before, but now that the power of Order is growing, so does my capabilities]

Boss praised: “What an unexpected surprise, that’s quite decent”

[Your grace, King of War, ‘Order Reinforcement’ teleportation will activate in five seconds, please prepare yourself]

[Teleport!]

Boss suddenly vanished from inside Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea.

Only Gu Qing Shan remained outside the grand hall.

Another voice suddenly called out in his mind:

“Gu Qing Shan, what’s the current situation?”

Demon Dragon.

Demon Dragon was feeling impatient and had used his telepathy to contact him.

Gu Qing Shan glanced through the main square outside the grand hall, scanning across many wraiths and angels before he found ‘Corpse Wraith Xue Long’.

“The Grand Empress had summoned everyone in order to discuss how to fight against the giant eyeball” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice in reply.

Demon Dragon chuckled: “Fight against it? In front of that terrifying thing, anyone would surely only end up as ash and dust”

Having obtained the sword fragments he was after, Gu Qing Shan was now a bit more relaxed and sent his voice again: “I now have a bit of time, how about we set up a trap to kill all three Wraith Lords at once”

“They’re very strong” Demon Dragon hesitantly said.

“It’ll be fine. The current circumstances are different now, we can simply not give them a chance to retaliate—- I suspect that they could have never imagined that both you and I had a method of entering the Wraith Temple with clean identities”

Demon Dragon went silent briefly and asked: “What’s your suggestion?”

“I’ll use Cang Wu Zhang as bait to lure them; I’ll kill two of them, you’ll kill one, ending the battle in ten seconds” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“…Give me some time to think” Demon Dragon went silent.

Suddenly, the sound of alarms echoed across the sky.

“What’s the situation?”

“I don’t know, something big seemed to have occurred”

“Prepare for combat——”

“It’s fine, it’s a scout from our side!”

A wraith suddenly appeared rapidly descending from the air, who was stopped by a group of angels in the sky.

“Directly enter the hall!”

Reneedol’s voice echoed.

The wraith staggered like he was already at the end of his ropes, requiring help to reach the top of the stairs leading into the grand hall.

Gu Qing Shan stood in the hallway with an unconcerned expression, only to see that the wraith was soaked in blood that was still bleeding out, muttering subconsciously:

“It’s coming! It’s coming!”

The gates of the grand hall swung open, from which an immense force lifted the wraith and pulled him in right away.

Bam!

The gates were closed again.

After a few moments, the gates swung open yet again.

Lin emerged from inside.

She didn’t bother to glance at Gu Qing Shan and gave her orders with a cold, solemn expression: “All seraphim with six or more wings, prepare your armor, we’re heading out immediately!”

The entire Wraith Temple became busy again.

All the angels gathered in the main square in front of the grand hall.

Gu Qing Shan sent his voice: “What happened? Did that giant eyeball arrive?”

Lin replied: “That’s right. The Grand Empress had ordered me to sortie and delay it as much as possible”

Delay it?

Who would be able to delay such a terrifying thing?

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent.

Lin continued: “Gu Qing Shan, within the Wraith Temple, I can’t read the minds of others, or I will receive backlash from a Causality Law, so I have no idea what you’ve gone through or why you’ve appeared here disguised as Cang Wu Zhang—— I actually have a lot of things I wanted to talk to you about”

“But there’s no time for that now”

“Take care of yourself”

Right as she finished speaking, Reneedol’s orders resounded from inside the grand hall.

“Hurry! Hurry up! Immediately set out to impede its progress!”

Lin didn’t say anything else and immediately flew into the sky.

Squadrons of angels followed behind her and quickly left this world, disappearing without a trace.

Gu Qing Shan looked up for a few moments.

While Lin currently has the most powerful Abyssal form, she would still be unable to do anything but lose her life in front of that eyeball!

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, then abruptly opened them again.

He relaxed his hands that he had been clasping behind his back, lowering them by his sides while slightly twitching.

The four swords hiding in the void of space around him immediately sensed his killing intent.

“Gongzi?” Shannu asked.

“Hm”

Gu Qing Shan replied, turned around, and headed back into the grand hall.

At another location.

Inside one of the worlds within the dark tunnel.

A large number of people wielded their weapons while they gradually surrounded a fallen wall, slowly and cautiously approaching it.

A mocking voice echoed from behind the group:

“Hey lassie, after fighting for an entire day, you should already know that you alone won’t be able to defeat an entire world”

“—–Kneel in front of me and swear to follow my orders from now on, this is the only method for you to survive”

Countless blades and swords were pointed at a tattered wall.

Under the wall, a young girl with delicate facial features stood with a broken pike in her hands, while she was completely soaked in blood, her figure remained standing tall.

She raised her broken pike.

The weapons surrounding her suddenly jerked backwards slightly, apparently frightened by this.

The voice from before resounded again: “You idiots, she’s already exhausted, completely exhausted! What are you afraid of!?”

“—–capture her alive! I want this lassie… shishishi, I already can’t wait!”

“Charge!”

The numerous weapons moved forward again.

The girl stayed silent, her gaze clear and bright, filled with the intent to die.

“Big sister Darksea, farewell”

She clenched her broken pike tightly—–

Fwoom!!!

A mass of black flames descended from the sky in front of her, once again pushing all the weapons away.

“A pike?”

A voice was heard from within the flames.

A man with a cold expression slowly walked out from the flames, casually taking the pike from her hand.

“Who are you!?” a furious shout resounded from the group.

The man didn’t care about that at all and simply asked: “Lady Darksea, there are so many people around here, why didn’t you reinforce the [Order] on them as well? That should be more than enough to stop them from fighting”

Lady Darksea’s voice replied: [These people have allowed their desires to blind themselves and blatantly caused meaningless destruction. They are seeds of Chaos; the Order doesn’t want to bother with them]

“Is that so, then…”

The man lightly pointed the broken pike in his hand forward.

Everything went silent.

The wind——

Had also been frozen.

“Die” the man casually declared.

Every action occurred in an instant.

Sharp, howling, irresistible shadows of spears manifested out of thin air, eradicating all living beings in their path. Even their blood and flesh had been amalgamated into a dark red mass that was blown high into the air.

No bones or corpses could be seen, there wasn’t even the smell of blood.

All the enemies were eradicated.

The man turned around handed the broken pike back to the girl, nodding to her: “Your mind is firm, that is an excellent quality, keep on trying your best”

The girl stared blankly at him, then at the drifting black flames around his body, and finally the hint of encouragement within his cold eyes.

She asked: “Sir—– you are——”

[This is the Regiment’s King of War, the Great Lord of Infinite Origins, Greatest Above the Star Crown] Lady Darksea introduced him.

As the girl heard that, she took a deep breath, endured the pain from the wounds all over her body, then bowed deeply.

“Thank you for saving me” she said.

“It’s nothing. You’ve already offered the required resources, and I should certainly help Lady Darksea grow stronger”

Boss nodded to the girl and continued: “Very well, I have to go now”

“Please wait a moment!” the girl hurriedly called out.

“Hm?” Boss stopped.

“I want to ask you, how can I become as strong as you are?” the girl said.

Boss looked at the young girl’s sincere expression of desire and stopped, asking her in return: “Why do you wish to become stronger?”

“Because I want to change my Fate” the young girl clenched her teeth.

Boss fell silent.

To change Fate.

Once upon a time.

She was also the same.

Boss indifferently asked: “Why does everyone wish to go against Fate? Is Fate always going after your life?”

The girl replied: “It isn’t about me”

“Hm?” Boss didn’t expect that answer.

The young girl clenched her fist and put it up against her chest before answering him: “There is too much suffering in this world, too many people have to live inhumane lives, only very few aristocrats can enjoy luxury and wealth. And now that the Apocalypse has arrived, it is also continuously reaping away the lives of normal people”

“I want to change everyone’s Fate, I want to at least ensure that no one would have to endure the suffering of being poor, that a sick person is given the chance to be cured, that the kids no longer need to be nurtured as slaves since they were little. I want to ensure that eventually, if the forces of our entire world are unified, we would even be able to fight against the Apocalypse”

Boss silently looked at her.

Lady Darksea whispered to him: [King of War, she is a rare talent, having activated the unique Order temple: Predestined Princess]

Fate.

It is Fate once again.

But this time, things seem to be different.

Boss reorganized his emotions a bit before finally looking at the girl.

“Firstly, you will need to learn a lot of things in order to become a suitable king of a world. After that, there will be more worlds whose living beings are also suffering, they will also need someone like you to be their sovereign—– but this is an exceptionally difficult task. For the sake of your ideals, you will have to pay many heavy prices and an untold amount of effort” he told her seriously.

The young girl knelt down in front of Boss and resolutely affirmed:

“Please let me follow you. No matter how tough it will be, I will achieve it without fail”
