Chapter 1452 - Parallel power

Chapter 1452: Parallel power

A head flew.

Reneedol’s body collapsed to the ground.

Gu Qing Shan had already averted his gaze from her and turned towards Shroud.

He wanted to see if the charm Shroud was afflicted with would disappear or not.

——-if not, that would be really troublesome.

After all, Shroud had resurrected Reneedol from death once before.

Gu Qing Shan held the Six Paths Great Mountain sword tightly and made appropriate preparations.

If there’s no other choice, I’m going to stab him once.

At first, Shroud’s expression was filled with sorrow, but then it quickly became full of confusion.

He stared closely at Reneedol’s body, muttering to himself: “Why… had my affection towards her disappear completely?”

——-he began to notice that his feelings and emotions had been tampered with.

Gu Qing Shan was still acting as Red Wraith, so he couldn’t really talk to Shroud, but he sighed out of relief.

Since Shroud no longer loves Reneedol and is even having doubts about the entire matter, he will soon be able to reach the truth.

As Rhode, I’ll be able to help him with this process.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking about this, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

——-Shroud, Epta, and Scarlet had all become stiff as if they were frozen in time.

The wind had also stopped.

The entire world had become silent and no longer making any noises.

Gu Qing Shan felt uneasy as if everything had been draped over with a dark shadow.

—–who would freeze time for the entire world?

This is the Era of Immemorial!

Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice: “War God UI, did you discover something?”

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

[Time, Space, Fate, the three Great Laws of Reality are being controlled by some sort of force. The world will reset in 10 seconds]

Reset!

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

This time, without waiting for Gu Qing Shan to ask, the War God UI began explaining right away:

[Attention, this so-called ‘reset’ is a reinstatement of everything from the beginning, the progression of Fate of all things and all living beings will return to their previous points in Time at their previous locations in Space]

Gu Qing Shan heard every word.

But he still couldn’t understand.

In the past, even while Lin was using the power of the three coins, she was only able to bring Gu Qing Shan and herself back to the Age of Old.

——never had he heard of something that could bring all things and all living beings back to the past.

“What kind of force could achieve such a thing?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but question.

[Fate Corrosion] the War God UI replied.

Gu Qing Shan was completely shaken.

Fate Corrosion was the side effect of parallel worlds consuming one another.

A weaker parallel world would be consumed by the more powerful parallel world.

The living beings of the weaker world would not be able to help their Fates from being altered to fit the more powerful one.

In a more powerful parallel world compared to this one, the Earth Creator was already dead.

So when the Fate Corrosion began, the Earth Creator couldn’t stop itself from dying as well.

——who was it that was able to use an entire parallel world to kill someone?

Gu Qing Shan paused for a single moment before all of his hair stood on their ends.

Countless years in the future, the one who triggered the Fate Corrosion was none other than Reneedol!

What exactly is happening right now?

Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt an insurmountable force hiding in the shadows, silently manipulating it all.

[It’s starting!] the War God UI told him.

Gu Qing Shan took off the Samsara Wicked Mask and put it away.

He kept wielding his sword while remaining cautious of his surroundings.

The world went dark.

Suddenly, everything lit up again.

Gu Qing Shan heard someone viciously shouting: “Brat, I’m going to kill you!”

A blade appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s vision, swinging towards his neck.

The cold gleam of the blade was swung down, only to let out a chiming ‘clang’.

Gu Qing Shan had swung his sword to block the attack.

“Ah? You’re quite decent, being able to block my attack”

The other party was wearing a military uniform, smirking and scoffing, right as he pulled his sword back and swung down again violently.

At the very next moment.

He was abruptly sent flying away from Gu Qing Shan.

A black spear appeared where the man originally stood without so much as a drop of blood on it.

“Focus”

Shroud said.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at him, then back at their surroundings.

They were standing near the river that connected the entire world, a small dinghy had fallen by the bank, two groups of unfamiliar people were fighting and killing one another.

Atley, Epta, and Scarlet were all here.

Reneedol wasn’t here.

…that’s right, at this point in time, when I had just entered this period, Reneedol had also just been captured by someone.

Everything had returned to this very first moment!

Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled the giant corpse’s words.

…

“Just think about it, we only know that the fish has arrived downstream, but we don’t know if it had been replaced halfway through, or someone had caught it and placed something inside its belly, or if there were any ferocious pursuers who followed it there”

…

Gu Qing Shan’s heart went completely frigid.

I’m sure of it now, during this period of time, something must have been observing Shroud’s Fate.

Was it Reneedol?

…No.

If she could control parallel worlds to reverse the three Great Laws of Reality, why would she need to find ‘the strongest’?

She would have already been the strongest.

As Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts were rapidly moving, he also didn’t stop moving and coordinating with Shroud to kill the enemies.

At the moment, the Law Behemoths were still fighting against one another, no longer responding to the call of living beings.

But with Shroud and Gu Qing Shan’s strength, it wasn’t a lot of trouble to deal with these people.

Not too long later, the battle ended.

Shroud propped his spear on one of their necks and shouted: “Speak, where did you bring that girl?”

The man hurriedly replied: “Don’t kill me. After stealing your ship, our boss headed towards Hundred Martial City”

Without waiting for Shroud to speak, Gu Qing Shan chopped that man’s head off.

He turned his sword towards another person——- it was this person who told them the truth the previous time.

The man trembled and cried out: “Don’t kill me!”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Where exactly did your boss bring that girl?”

The man spilled everything: “The boss had actually left using the Southeastern path——- please spare my life!”

Gu Qing Shan stood up, grabbed the man by his neck, then said: “Shroud, we’re heading East”

Shroud was concerned about Reneedol, so he replied immediately: “Got it!”

Everyone began to head East, swiftly running to their destination.

Around ten miles later.

They saw a collapsed horse carriage.

A mass of corpses.

A beautiful girl was standing on top of a horse carriage.

Reneedol.

Gu Qing Shan stared closely at her.

But she hadn’t paid attention to Gu Qing Shan yet.

“Shroud, you’ve arrived”

She said aloofly.

Shroud rushed forward and hurriedly asked: “Are you ok?”

Reneedol smiled and replied: “Do I look like I’m not ok?”

Gu Qing Shan continued wielding his sword as he slowly approached her.

She still hadn’t reacted at all.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the corpses around them.

The previous time——

These corpses were riddled with wounds, a clear sign of being tortured to death.

While they were already dead, their faces still displayed an expression of disbelief and fear.

At the time, Reneedol had even explained to them how she killed these people as if boasting to them:

“…I used the boss’ power to kill his aide, then the aide’s power to kill the squad leader, then use the squad leader’s power to kill the minions”

Those were her exact words.

But this time, none of the corpses have any extraneous wounds, they were all killed in a single strike.

Gu Qing Shan paused for a short moment before asking: “Reneedol, how did these people die?”

“I killed them” Reneedol answered right away.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit startled.

At this point, Shroud sighed in relief and said: “It’s a good thing that among the three Great Laws of Reality, only the power of Fate could not be sealed away——- it’s so hateful that my powers are temporarily sealed away, unable to protect you well”

Reneedol replied: “It’s ok, I can protect myself”

Her gaze carried a bit of a chill as she continued: “The Law Behemoths are currently killing one another, completely ignoring us—– but if people want to take this opportunity to get rid of us from the World Valley, then they’re sorely mistaken”

Everyone nodded in agreement to her words.

Gu Qing Shan also glanced at her.

Reneedol… seemed to have become a completely different person…

The personality suggested by her words and gestures is completely different from before.

What’s going on here?

Regression?

Even if someone regressed, their personality would not abruptly change.

…I need to reconsider this.

Gu Qing Shan continued to ponder about this.

The three Great Laws of Reality were reconstituted, Time and Space had flowed backwards, everyone returned to life and their previous states in Time.

All of this was for the sake of changing to another Reneedol?

Who…

Had the ability to do such a thing?

Gu Qing Shan fell silent, a very long silence.
