Chapter 919: A Secret

Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9

The giant corpse’s world.

The giant corpse was disclosing some unimaginable secrets to Gu Qing Shan.

“Reality is like a rotten apple, as the inner portions are slowly destroyed and deteriorate, the outer portions would manifest the corresponding signs of collapse and destruction”

“The Apocalypse will eventually spread from the Inner Plane to the Outer Plane, ultimately destroying everything”

“The most direct proof of which was that for the last few hundred years, the Laws of the Outer Plane has been suppressing the growth of living beings more and more”

The giant corpse sighed and continued: “This is such a gradual change that others might not be able to notice, but I can sense it happening in my every waking moment”

Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while before asking: “Because the fact that karma isn’t taken into account in the Measure Tribulation, are there any other proofs?”

The giant corpse replied: “Have you noticed that more and more new abilities are being awakened by living beings every year?”

Gu Qing Shan thought about this for a bit.

He suddenly recalled the book that he saw in the Profession Committee of the 900 million World Layers Alliance office.

That book recorded every new Profession and ability in every world, and it was quickly increasing every year.

“I know about that” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

The giant corpse explained: “In truth, that is the souls of all living beings sensing the killing intent and repulsion of the Laws of Reality, thus triggering their natural mutations and reactions”

Gu Qing Shan pondered: “You mean, like natural adaptations for the sake of survival?”

“Correct”

“Then, now that I can’t advance normally, what should I do now?”

“First I need to know about your situation——– and I was even wondering why it took you so long to advance, who would’ve thought that you had already advanced all the way to the peak of Three Thousand Worlds realm”

Following his words, a black scale came off his armor and hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The scale peeled off bit by bit to reveal a glowing rune.

“You don’t have much time here, so we’ll use this method to communicate” the giant corpse told him.

When Gu Qing Shan received the glowing rune, lines of glowing text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Single-use memory transfer technique: You may choose a portion of your experience to directly send into the consciousness of the other party]

Gu Qing Shan activated the technique and smiled bitterly: “It really is a long story, I made a trip back to the Age of Old”

He explained everything that happened in the Age of Old but avoided everything related to the War God System.

A few moments later.

The giant corpse’s voice came again:

“So, the [Mystery of All Beings Equal] can already be seen through? It seems it is time for this Mystery to advance as well”

“However, you will have to choose how to advance it yourself”

He sighed regretfully: “And you even obtained the Evil-warding Weapons of the Bottomless Abyss. Regretfully, you still can’t enter the Inner Plane, that place is already in ruins”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Right now I’m only concerned with one thing, how do I become stronger?”

“Luckily, you’ve obtained a precious identity” the giant corpse told him with a glad tone of voice.

“What identity?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

The giant corpse replied: “Envoy of Condemnation”

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

The giant corpse continued: “The Envoy of Condemnation doesn’t belong to the Outer Plane, rather it was a powerful Profession that originated from the Inner Plane, carrying with it the essence of the Inner Plane, through which you can continue your advancement”

“How should I do that?” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.

The giant corpse replied: “Azure Card——- Gu Qing Shan, you must increase the grade of your Condemnation Card to Azure, after which you will be able to organize a few Origin Cards in your deck to create a world of your own”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled a certain person.

Xiao Die.

When Xiao Die went to meet Barry and Kitty, she combined various scrolls to form a portrait of herself, after which she came forward from the portrait.

This seems to be quite a high-leveled skill.

“You mean, as soon as I reach Azure grade, I’ll be able to create my own world and face my Tribulation there?” Gu Qing Shan repeated his words, a bit unsure.

“In truth, your Iris Sword is able to create a world, so you already have the basis to do such a thing”

“And since the world created by Condemnation Cards uses the Laws of the Inner Plane, it won’t try to kill you——- you would be able to face a normal Measure Tribulation”

The giant corpse slowly explained.

The world gradually became brighter.

A blue glow started to manifest in the sky.

This blue glow was gathering from all directions, ultimately converging on top of the bronze pillar.

When Gu Qing Shan looked up, he felt an immeasurable sense of destruction emanating from the tiny sparks of blue glow.

The giant corpse hurriedly: “Oh no, I don’t have time to tell you more. Just know that after increasing your Card grade, you need to search for items that contain the Law of the Inner Plane, seal them into your Card, then combine them into a small Inner Plane world. There, you would be able to advance again!”

Rumble rumble!

The sound of thunder echoed across the sky.

“Hide this inside your Thought Sea and take a look at it after you return, go!” the giant corpse urged him.

A black scale armor on his chest moved, peeled itself off, and turned into a blurred image that fell into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

As soon as Gu Qing Shan touched his black scale, he felt an immense repulsion force.

He was about to be ejected from this world.

“Wait a minute, I still don’t know about your situation———”

“Before you become stronger, every question is meaningless” the giant corpse sighed sorrowfully and cut off Gu Qing Shan’s question.

Immediately after, as if he was pulled by a thick and sturdy rope, Gu Qing Shan was sent flying back the way he came.

Keeping his words in mind, Gu Qing Shan quickly put the black scale away into his Thought Sea.

He turned back.

Within the giant corpse’s world, the blinding lightning suddenly illuminated everything.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Lightning.

The giant corpse was being struck by lightning again.

Just who created this world?

Why did they have to imprison the giant corpse in this world and constantly use this highly destructive method to punish him?

He had no way to find out any of this.

Gu Qing Shan was quickly flying through the space vortex again.

He now needed to return.

He shook his head, feeling nothing but anxiety.

—–however, at least it wasn’t completely fruitless.

Although the Laws of the Outer Plane had abandoned living beings, I still have a way to become stronger.

The diamond world.

His soul vessel descended from the sky and fell back into his body.

“Gongzi is back!” Shannu happily cheered.

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.

He looked around first before opening his palm and taking out the item inside his Thought Sea.

The black scale broke off in his hand to form a shining mystical rune.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:

[Discovered special technique: Mystery of All Things Equal]

[You can choose to comprehend this technique, or use your Mystery of All Beings Equal to consume it and evolve, increasing the level of your Mystery to make it so that no entity stronger than you would be able to discover your true nature]

As Gu Qing Shan stared at this mystical rune, he fell into thought.

Should I learn the [Mystery of All Things Equal], or allow [Mystery of All Beings Equal] to evolve?

That is a reasonable question.

…

Meanwhile.

Shen Wu world.

Bai Hua sect.

Qin Xiao Lou, Xiu Xiu, Wan Er, and Qing Rou were all standing on top of Bai Hua Hall, staring at the large faraway lake.

A small figure stood above the lake, summoning the Heaven’s Tribulation.

Qin Xiao Lou crossed his arms and sighed: “This little girl, not only does she keep remaining in our sect, she’s even borrowing our place to face her Tribulation. After Shifu returns, I have to bring this up to her”

He sat down, stopped watching the lake, and took out a gourd of liquor to drink by himself.

Wan Er and Qing Rou were both showing extremely serious expressions.

They kept a close eye on the surface of the lake without looking away.

Xiu Xiu looked at Qin Xiao Lou, then at the two girls and couldn’t help but asked: “Big sis Wan Er, big sis Qing Rou, what’s wrong?”

Wan Er had an expression of disbelief on her face as she muttered in shock: “Your senior brother normally doesn’t like to read so he doesn’t know it, but what’s happening in front of us right now has gone completely beyond our understanding”

Xiu Xiu was shocked.

Qing Rou stroked Xiu Xiu’s head and sighed: “If not in consideration that this little girl seems to be very closely related to Shifu, I would have already reported this to the other great cultivators”

“But why?” Xiu Xiu asked.

Qing Rou replied: “Because the Tribulation she’s facing is one that I have never even heard of before. I can’t even imagine what’s going on, or what kind of existence she might be”

Xiu Xiu turned and looked at the lake again.

The little girl formed a hand seal with both hands and shouted: “Measure Tribulation, come!”

Oom———

The entire lake completely changed.

A few images appeared in front of the little girl while a spreading cluster of darkness manifested behind her.

At this point, a certain thing appeared next to the little girl.

“What is that?”

“That’s too powerful, that thing!”

“It feels… like a treasure that belongs to her—— look, she’s standing on it now”

The three girls couldn’t help but whisper in discussion.

While Qin Xiao Lou was drinking, he overheard their discussions and looked up at the lake.

“Huh?”

He put the gourd back down and muttered in surprise: “Why does that golden lotus look exactly like Shifu’s?”
