Chapter 760: Missed

A heavy shroud of darkness.

Within this vast world, the Desolate monsters were rampaging without fear.

The Divinities have already turned into tiny sprites of light far in the sky, wandering back and forth.

It was the same phantom image of the era when humanity was falling to ruin.

After Gu Qing Shan had left.

A blurred figure suddenly appeared on the empty field of the military camp.

As the blurriness faded, the figure appeared clearly.

The figure had a burning golden flame between his eyebrows, glorious light radiating from his body and a strange coin in his hand.

——-the Golden Flame Divinity.

He had once again arrived at this phantom image.

「 Strange, just where did he run to…」

The Divinity calmly walked around the military camp.

The military camp was now in shambles.

All the sleeping cultivators from before had already been devoured, only scraps of flesh and blood were left smeared all over the ground and walls.

The Divinity walked from one room to another, ignoring the bloody footprints he left behind.

Both his mind and body were completely focused on assessing the current situation.

——-I’ve already searched several hundred phantom images.

Even someone as powerful as a Divinity was, having to travel constantly from one phantom image to another in search of what was essentially a needle in a haystack, he was feeling quite fatigued.

But he still couldn’t find any traces of Gu Qing Shan.

So he decided to return to this phantom image that the coin first pointed him to and once again reassess things.

Abruptly, the Golden Flame Divinity sensed something and turned around.

The figure of light was standing not too far behind him.

「 Why are you here? 」 the Golden Flame Divinity asked.

The figure of light replied: 「 The collective will of our ancient Divine race is connected to that coin. I noticed that you have ran into a problem, so I came to help 」

The Golden Flame Divinity told him: 「 There was an error with the coin, I couldn’t find him in this world 」

The figure of light gestured with his hand: 「 Give me the coin, we have already prepared the appropriate technique in order to fix such an error 」

The Golden Flame Divinity paused for a bit and asked: 「 You’ve even prepared for this level of error? 」

「 Naturally 」the figure of light replied, 「 Both the Desolate race and our Divine race would not simply stand and watch as humanity made their preparations 」

The figure of light emphasized: 「 We are the controllers of humanity’s fate, their everything is within the palms of our hands, every last bit of their hope WILL be destroyed by our own hands 」

「 The Desolate race have countermeasures prepared as well? 」the Golden Flame Divinity questioned.

「 Indeed, the humans of the Primordial Heaven Realm must be killed to extinction, their everything must be ground to dust, we absolutely shall not allow them to do anything to threaten us 」the figure of light replied.

「 A wise choice 」the Golden Flame Divinity praised.

「 Give me the coin, I will use a Divine Craft to fix its error, that way you will be able to directly warp to the phantom image where that human from the future currently is 」the figure of light said.

Without saying anything else, the Golden Flame Divinity tossed him the coin.

The figure of light opened his palm and let the coin silently float on top of it.

He then chanted a long incantation in Divine Language, all the way until the coin began to give off periodic light.

「 Take it, it has been activated once again. You should now be able to find that human’s trace 」the figure of light told him.

The coin hovered in front of the Golden Flame Divinity again.

Receiving the coin, the Golden Flame Divinity infused it with his divine power.

Oong——-

The coin let out a loud ring and brought the Golden Flame Divinity into the void of space, heading into the fog of time and space.

One breath later.

The void of space once again opened up.

The Golden Flame Divinity returned to this world once again.

He landed inside the military camp, right in front of the figure of light.

「…」the figure of light.

「…」the Golden Flame Divinity.

The Golden Flame Divinity suddenly spoke: 「 This can’t be right, the Desolate coin shouldn’t fail two times in a row like this 」

The figure of light commented: 「 In other words, that human from the future must be hiding within this phantom image 」

「 It does 」

The Golden Flame Divinity scoffed: 「 Seems like he found some unique method to conceal himself somewhere within this phantom image——– I’m guessing it must be something the humans from the Age of Old did to erase his tracks and allowed him to deceive us like this 」

The figure of light spoke: 「 Go find him, then kill him immediately! 」

The Golden Flame Divinity spoke: 「 Of course, I will kill him, but the coin can only bring me into the phantom image that he’s in, not where he is. There are no longer any humans in this era, the Heaven realm is too vast, and I already lost track of him! 」

The figure of light replied: 「 Do not worry, we have made another preparation. Seems like it will prove useful ahead of time 」

「 What kind of preparation? 」the Golden Flame Divinity asked.

「 I will inform all the Divinities within this phantom image that a single human has slipped through. They will join you on your search, once any information about him shows up, the combined might of the Divinities will target him with extreme prejudice 」the figure of light replied.

The Golden Flame Divinity paused briefly before laughing out loud.

They were essentially conscripting every and all of the Divinities within the Primordial Heaven Realm to search for a single human.

How terrifying of a force was that?

Under such circumstances, the Golden Flame Divinity felt that even he wouldn’t be able to hide for too long.

「 If you’ve prepared so thoroughly, it seems I won’t need to spend too much effort on this 」

The Golden Flame Divinity sighed.

「 Naturally 」the figure of light said without any emotions, 「 Humanity has and will always be under our absolute control. Even at the final moments of their destruction, there will be no chance for them to even attempt to rebel 」

The Golden Flame Divinity looked up.

Several shining sprites flying in the sky have already begun to descend.

The search had begun.

The Golden Flame Divinity thought briefly: 「 Then I will leave the land area to you, I’ll the responsible for searching the ocean 」

「 Go ahead 」

「 Hm 」

——-at the same time.

At sea.

Within an area of the ocean that was far away from the mainland.

Gu Qing Shan had turned into the Xie Qi Fiend King, stowed the airship away, and entered the gate that leads into the Xie Qi Fiend Realm.

After he left, the gate in the void of space slowly closed and faded away.

This part of the ocean returned to its original silence.

…

Gu Qing Shan was traveling through the space vortex.

He was quickly thinking about various things.

The Xie Qi Fiend King was the easiest to bully and most cowardly Fiend King.

He was also the weakest among the known Fiend Kings, with Gu Qing Shan’s Chaotic Star realm cultivation, as long as he had a sword, it was more than enough to kill him at his strongest.

The Xie Qi Fiend Realm was known as a place to play and rest for the other evil realms.

But there was one good thing about this world.

Information travelled fast here.

Because the evil creatures of various realms frequently visited this place, this place was perfect as a place to gather intel, including the most recent intel of ongoing events.

That’s why Gu Qing Shan chose this world.

Within the chaotic space vortex, bright purple light began to slowly envelop Gu Qing Shan.

—–I’m about to arrive at the Xie Qi Realm.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Shannu.

Shannu nodded and silently disappeared into the void of space.

A few moments later, the space vortex faded around him.

Gu Qing Shan landed on a red carpet.

He found that he was standing at the gate of a beautiful palace.

Two burly and huge black fiends blocked his way.

『 Fiend King, you can’t go in yet, the Fiendess said she doesn’t want to see you right now 』one of the black Fiends said.

Gu Qing Shan looked around briefly because he muses: “If I remember correctly, this place is my palace”

『 Yes 』the other black fiend smiled sarcastically, 『 But haven’t you always listened to what the Fiendess tell you? 』

『 You should go and find somewhere to entertain yourself, since you still have money—– as for this place, you will need to wait for the Fiendess’ permission before you can go in and flatter her 』the first black fiend looked down at him and said.

Gu Qing Shan thought to himself.

The Xie Qi Fiend King——- seems to have accepted his own circumstances a long time ago.

Even the guards of the Fiend palace refused to let their own Fiend King in, what a huge joke this was.

I didn’t think the Xie Qi Fiend King’s life would be this pitiful.

Seems like that Fiendess or whatever is quite impressive.

Tch…

Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Is this how a Fiend King is supposed to live?”

One of the fiends didn’t hear it clearly and sarcastically told him: 『 Sir Fiend King, what did you mutter just now? Mind telling me what interesting thing you have in mind as well? Please don’t worry, we won’t tell master 』

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

He answered: “I said——- compared to me, a lot of Fiend Kings and Devil Kings don’t live up to their names at all”

A cold gleam.

Two heads were lopped off and flung all the way into the palace.

Inside the palace, various panicked voices and noises began to rang out.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t seem to notice any of them.

He shook the blood off his sword and thought about the Xie Qi Fiend king’s situation, then he couldn’t help but sigh once again.

“Oh well… it’s now my turn to be their Fiend King”
