Chapter 1129 - Fragments!

Chapter 1129: Fragments!

Gu Qing Shan looked up at the Grand Empress in the sky.

The world below was slowly being destroyed.

All things came to an end.

All the wraiths were practically being massacred to extinction.

“Stop!”

Gu Qing Shan declared.

The collapsing world suddenly stopped.

The clouds in the sky turned still.

The bodies of the wraiths were breaking apart into a foul flower of blood but didn’t fully explode.

——–time wasn’t stopped.

Gu Qing Shan simply controlled the [Time Recollection] technique to make the things that already transpired to stop at a certain moment, allowing him to carefully observe it.

He walked in front of a certain wraith and carefully examined it.

He then took flight and flew once around the world.

Finally, returned to his original position.

“Continue” he stated.

The world once again continued with its destruction and collapse.

Time slowly passed until the entire world became sand and dust, scattering into the space vortex.

Reneedol curtly glanced over this world.

Her gaze then focused on Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized that he was currently the old wraith.

“So there was an escapee”

Reneedol reached out with her long, thin finger and lightly pointed.

Darkness descended.

Everything stopped here.

Gu Qing Shan had returned from the [Time Recollection] technique.

He found that he was still holding the old wraith’s severed head, cold sweat had soaked his back while he couldn’t help but pant heavily.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the barrier, that Arch Wraith had only just taken the first step.

Time.

Only a single blink of the eye had passed by.

Gu Qing Shan tossed the head away and sat down on the cold floor of the city wall.

He took out a gourd of liquor and drank gulp after gulp until he calmed down.

This wasn’t anything serious, just that the power Reneedol exerted was so terrifying that just by observing it, Gu Qing Shan felt his soul receiving a small wound.

He slowly closed his eyes, rethinking and recollecting everything that he saw earlier once again.

“Something is wrong…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

The wraiths in that world were too weak.

Gu Qing Shan had already run into those masked fellows—— the ones who had gathered 70% of the Wraith realm’s fragments. A mere servant carried an extremely powerful Causality Law weapon with him.

But Reneedol completely didn’t run into any notable resistance as she destroyed that world.

Then, the Wraith world that she destroyed was only a fragment of the Wraith realm.

A fragment world….

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze fell onto the head of the dead wraith.

Strange.

This guy should already be dead.

The Wraith realm fragment world should have already been destroyed as well.

So why is there another Wraith realm fragment world here?

Furthermore, this world only appears at night, desiring new members, desiring to trade mundane items and powerful items.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand to summon the severed wraith head.

“What exactly are you?” he softly asked.

The wraith’s eyes were opened wide.

Staring at him.

Unmoving.

Gu Qing Shan put the head down and continued to think.

A destroyed world——–

Was somehow able to manifest itself again inside Heaven Pilar world whenever night descended.

There are many of these worlds, all inside Heaven Pillar world.

What exactly are they?

All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan’s left eye twitched.

It was the World Technique that was hidden in his eye.

—–the remnant wills of two worlds were inside.

They were abruptly moving about, seemingly informing him something.

A thought flashed through Gu Qing Shan’s mind, so he immediately stood up.

“So that was it… I understand…”

He looked at the numerous strange worlds outside the city wall and felt nothing but unspeakable sorrow and shock.

Following his will, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You have used up all of your Prayers within the previous Dance of the Earth God, you cannot perform a second Offering Dance here]

Gu Qing Shan didn’t give up.

He started to clap his hands.

Stomping his feet.

Humming a tune.

Although there weren’t any Prayers, the Offering Dance was still a Sacrificial Dance, which could be used to display his identity.

Sure enough, as he danced, indescribable entities began to resonate with him within the void of space.

Another line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Attention, as you as the Offeree of the Dance of the Earth God, under a certain entity’s witness, you made an agreement with destroyed worlds of the past to perform a Dance that must be completed]

[You have the Blessing of the Past Worlds]

[And now, they, the ones who had hidden in Heaven Pilar world have noticed your identity]

[They have allowed you to witness the entire truth]

Immediately, all the worlds and the entirety of Heaven Pillar city vanished.

The scene in front of Gu Qing Shan had changed.

Broken entities——

Large bodies, long extremities, no faces, but humanoid.

They were the remnant souls of past worlds.

They were all worlds that had been destroyed by Reneedol, now with only a bit of remnant soul remaining, seeking refuge in Heaven Pillar world.

They could only appear at night, using their collective power to link together, desiring to obtain all kinds of power.

Gu Qing Shan had understood.

He muttered: “Because of that, you wish for living beings to enter your world and extend the time that you may exist; you hope to exchange mundane items with powerful treasures to replenish even a little bit of power; you are gathered here together, just to seek a joint sense of warmth, is that right?”

The gigantic entities all nodded.

They turned into countless sprites of light that circled around Gu Qing Shan.

They seemed to be hurriedly trying to express something.

——from probing to contact, then to mutual understanding, these worlds’ seemed to have gotten more intimate with him.

“Don’t be in such hurry” Gu Qing Shan lowered his voice and asked: “What exactly is it, you can tell me slowly”

All the sprites gathered in one place right next to his ear and slowly uttered each word:

「 Quickly… hide… outside… there’s… dragon…」

“Wait a minute! When you say ‘outside’, you mean this Heaven Pillar world?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The sprites of light flew up again, gathered in front of him, and turned into a screen.

A scene appeared on it.

——–a legendary creature with an immeasurably huge body.

Riding the winds and clouds, thunder and lightning descending wherever it went.

A majestic presence.

A creature that roused respect and worship at the mere sight of it.

——–the Azure Dragon!

It had surrounded Heaven Pillar world, flying around the outside of it.

Gu Qing Shan observed the Azure Dragon.

Each of its scales, each strand of its long beard, even its gestures and expression was clear to Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.

But Gu Qing Shan couldn’t sense it at all.

It’s not just me, none of the cultivators here, not even Shifu managed to sense it.

Is this one of its abilities?

—-the Azure Dragon had perfectly concealed its presence, simply moving about in the space vortex.

It was like a casual and graceful cold-blooded hunter, silently waiting for its chance.

Gu Qing Shan felt a chill run up his spine.

The remnant souls of these worlds spoke up again: 「 Dawn… we scatter… barriers disappear… it… come… kill all…」

Gu Qing Shan understood.

At night, the countless remnant souls of these worlds gathered here and formed a barrier that could strip the soul of all living beings, so the Azure Dragon couldn’t enter this world.

But at dawn, these remnant souls of the worlds would hide away.

At that time, the Azure Dragon would no longer have anything to fear.

How strong would a dragon be?

When Gu Qing Shan first entered the Primordial Heaven Realm, the remnant soul of the Golden Dragon was able to kill him just with a glance.

Even though Gu Qing Shan had grown far stronger than he used to be, he could still remember the fear he felt whenever he thought back to that time.

The remnant soul of the Golden Dragon was already that powerful.

Yet he was about to face a living Azure Dragon at its peak.

“Thank you all. I need to tell Shifu right now, we need to climb the Heaven-supporting Pillar tonight!” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He took out all the spirit stones he had and threw it all outside of the city.

“I haven’t brought a lot of items with energy. These spirit stones contain the most energy, there’s a few hundred thousand of them, I’ll give them all to you” Gu Qing Shan said.

A total of 700,000 spirit stones immediately vanished without a trace.

「 Thanks…」

A voice thanked him from the void.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “No need to thank me, just take care of yourselves, I need to escort Shifu to face this Tribulation first. If I have time, I’ll come chat with you again”

When he was about to leave, some of the bright sprites of light flew out from the group and stopped in front of him.

These sprites started to surround Gu Qing Shan and quickly sped up as they circled around him.

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

[The remnant souls of many cultivation worlds would like to transfer the most advanced knowledge of their civilization to you]

[They have begun to connect to your Thought Sea]

[Prepare to receive this knowledge]
