Chapter 1699: You only have ten seconds
In the sky, the blood moon was illuminating the entire Black City.
The city's collapse was gradually coming to a stop.
The ground began to return to normal, the various structures had also returned to the way they were, completely intact.
In front of Gu Qing Shan and Laura's eyes, they saw three figures appearing below the blood moon, who were respectively the old man from before, a three-headed black snake, and a man clad in dark-green cloak.
Their expressions were all solemn as they observed the people of Black City who were corroded by the Demon Dragon Bloodline, discussing something among themselves.
"One, two, three, a total of three spirits, as well as the Judicial Lord, the blood moon..."
Laura turned to Gu Qing Shan and didn't continue.
Gu Qing Shan knew what she wanted to say.
Indeed, following the normal train of thought, this isn't a battle he could win.
-------unlike the Gloomy City and the Clock Tower world, the Grand Evil world was a complete and powerful world system.
When Gu Qing Shan participated in a spirit realm war against the spirit of the Clock Tower world, it was only because the other party had chosen the wrong tactic that he won so easily.
But now, the situation was severely more difficult.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then decided that there was nothing to actually think about.
-----my only choice now is to ask the Overlooker of Myriad Realms what they think.
This entity had been paying constant attention to me.
...
[You do not know what they are thinking, but they are truly paying attention to you. Perhaps they will grant you aid at certain moments in time, or request your assistance at other moments, or they may simply be waiting to personally take your soul away from the mortal realm at the time of your death]
...
This was the description on the War God UI.
All I know is that they will eat everything, including worlds, Judicial Lords, and unspeakable Apocalypses, not at all picky about their food.
As long as they are willing to help me, there's still hope.
There isn't even one full hour remaining...
"They won't be able to find us just yet---- let's find somewhere discreet to get away from their eyes"
"Got it, let's go!"
Their figures vanished from the Colosseum.
...
Under the shade of a tree.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and closed his eyes:
"Move the umbrella away from my head"
"What do you want to do?" Laura moved her umbrella away and asked him.
"There is a unique entity that has actually been paying constant attention to me, so I want to communicate with them now" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Will they actually respond?" Laura asked.
Gu Qing Shan recalled how gluttonous the Overlooker of Myriad Realms appeared when they were eating the Apocalypse and answered: "If they still want to eat later on, they should respond to me"
He maintained his thinking posture with his eyes closed and muttered: "Come to me, I require some aid right now, if you can come... please hurry and come"
Everything remained completely silent without anything occurring.
Gu Qing Shan silently stood still for a while before continuing: "Come to me, there is some good food here... and not just one..."
Something immediately occurred---------
Fwoom!
Invisible fluctuations appeared from the void of space to envelope him and took him away from the current world.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes and found him standing in a crimson world.
There was nothing around him except a magnificently grand blood-colored pillar that stood firmly in the middle of the boundless crimson.
As Gu Qing Shan stood in front of the bloody pillar, his figure was so small that it might as well be a speck of dust.
Patterns of light manifested above the pillar, forming an interconnecting structure that exuded a strange resonance.
This was the grand pillar of the Blood Sea that connects to the Saint Realm------
The Saint Realm Halo!
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand forward to touch this grand pillar.
「 You... are calling for me? 」
A voice echoed from the pillar.
A bloody shadow then manifested upon the pillar.
This bloody shadow was draconically gigantic.
It was also continuously shifting and changing, transforming into a host of unknown terrifying creatures.
"I believe you can see what's happening right now, and I need some help"
Gu Qing Shan said.
A low chuckle came from the pillar.
「 The Saint Realm and Dusty World have no direct relations to one another. My previous appearances had already drawn their attention, so what I should be doing right now is to not appear again 」
Gu Qing Shan insisted: "But I need that world's Wickedness essence relic. You have to help me, then I'll also do everything I can to provide you more food in the future"
A whisper came from the pillar: 「 ...If you merely require that world's Wickedness essence relic, suggest that you kill that three-headed black snake. It is the spirit of wickedness, so you will be able to obtain the essence relic after killing it! 」
I don't need to kill the blood moon?
That's good to hear, but then-------
"I don't have an opportunity. The three spirits are staying with the Judicial Lord" Gu Qing Shan spoke frankly.
The Overlooker of Myriad Realms said: 「 An opportunity... I will help you create one, but I cannot appear in the Dusty World for very long. You will most likely only have ten seconds to both kill that snake and escape 」
Ten seconds.
After remaining silent for a brief moment, Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth: "Ten seconds is enough!"
The Overlooker of Myriad Realms then said: 「 Very well, when you are ready to perform the hit, you can call upon me 」
「 And also------- if you succeed, leave that snake's body for me to eat 」
"Got it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Hoh------
The crimson world faded away.
Gu Qing Shan noticed that he was still standing below the shade of a tree.
Laura was looking at him with a concerned expression.
"You vanished just now"
"How long?"
"One second? Two seconds? Around that much time"
"...We're going to act right away and immediately return to the Space Vortex"
"What!? Do you have a solution?"
"Hm, hold onto your umbrella tightly, we're going to take care of them now!"
Gu Qing Shan's figure leapt up and started flying to the sky.
The chaos on the ground has gradually subsided.
The world's Judicial Lord had personally acted to fix the entire world.
While the three spirits were acting to kill the Professionists who were corroded by the Demon Dragon Bloodline.
All the bloodkins were swiftly eliminated.
Everything had returned to normal.
「 What exactly was the reason for this? 」the old man asked.
「 We're going to have to question Black City Manager about this, damn it, do they think we're so free that they had to cause such a huge commotion? 」the three-headed black snake spoke in a harrowing voice.
A flash of light manifested into a screen in front of them.
The electronic voice answered: [The original reason for this chaos was that someone had paid 10 trillion Evil coins to put a bounty on their own head]
「 WHAT!? 」
「 10 trillion? 」
「 On their own head? 」
The three spirits exclaimed one by one.
The blood moon continued to hang above the sky without making any movements, it was simply observing everything on the screen with an indifferent gaze.
They were being shown the entire course of events.
At the same time, Gu Qing Shan had made his way towards the three spirits.
He stopped right behind the black snake, silently waiting for an opportunity.
"Shannu" Gu Qing Shan called out.
"Gongzi, what do I need to do?" Shannu answered.
"You're going to use Adorable to borrow Laura's [Infinite Worlds Shelter]"
"Got it"
---xiu!
Shannu and Adorable both answered him at the same time.
A second later.
Shannu appeared in front of the two of them with an umbrella in her hand.
Gu Qing Shan began to explain the tactic: "You'll be on the left, I'll be on the right, we're going to both act at the same time. We need to summon all the Blood Sea spirits in the shortest possible time and completely crush it"
"Understood!" Shannu replied.
She lightly flew to the other side of the three-headed snake spirit and awaited Gu Qing Shan's orders.
The other spirits were still discussing this matter.
「 This Gu Qing Shan guy is quite an interesting villain 」 the green-cloak man commented.
「 The fear he spread had left a deep impression, I can sense that he had already obtained the Statue of Fear」 the old man said.
「 Then, should we kill him? His soul will most likely be very valuable 」the three-headed snake asked.
The three spirits looked up at the blood moon in the sky.
After causing such a huge commotion, the decision must definitely be made by the Judicial Lord himself.
「-------Observe him for a bit longer 」
A resounding voice echoed from the sky above:
「 If he is purely after destruction and evil, I welcome such an exceptional character; but if he had other intentions, I will personally show him what is eternal suffering and torture 」
The three spirits respectfully answered at the same time: 「 Understood! As you will 」
At the same time------
Gu Qing Shan took a step forward and grasped the Earth sword.
Seeing that, Shannu also took a step forward and tightly grasped the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
They both raised their swords.
Laura anxiously gulped.
Ready------
「 Then we will excuse ourselves for now 」the three spirits said.
「 Hm, I will also step away for now. Let Black City remain as it had always been for now 」the blood moon said.
As soon as it said that, the blood moon vanished.
----it had left.
The old man, the green-cloak man, and the three-headed snake exchanged glances, preparing themselves to leave as well.
In that instant, Gu Qing Shan suddenly called out: "Kill!"
Two swords abruptly swung down at the same time!
