Chapter 836: The Watchman And The Fate Weaver

Inside the wall.

Gu Qing Shan waited for the wind to slow down a bit before using the [True Crimson Demon Spear] again to break open the wall.

He jumped out and continued to dash along the long and seemingly endless dark hallway.

Without any wind, the dark hallway was completely silent without any sound, time just silently passed.

One breath,

Two breaths,

Three breaths.

…

It was time for the wind to begin blowing again.

This place was already considerably far away from the entrance of the hallway, so the wind was ferocious from the start.

Gu Qing Shan had no other choice but to cut the wall open and jumped inside again.

The wind seemed to rampage without end.

The wind here had already surpassed anyone’s imagination.

The wind gave off an impression of being similar to a tidal wave of fate, it was heavy, overwhelming, and unstoppable.

At some point, Gu Qing Shan even had the illusion that the wind was actually some sort of higher life form.

『 Father…』

『 No! 』

From the far end of the hallway, the sound of sobbing voices followed by desperate begging could be heard.

A voice suddenly roared in return: 『 Do not blame me, I also have no other way! 』

This was the Lord of Total Distortion’s voice.

Before Gu Qing Shan could clearly hear what had happened, the rampaging wind already blocked out this voice, plunging the world around him into a sorrowful endless howl.

It almost felt like forever.

The wind had finally stopped.

Gu Qing Shan cut open the wall again and dashed forward.

About 7-8 breaths’ worth of time later.

He saw two sets of petite skeletons.

The sinister and malicious will from an unknown space-time still hadn’t dissipated, Gu Qing Shan could still sense the left-over signs of an unimaginably higher life form that descended during the sacrificial ritual.

The two sets of skeletons were in a crouched position with their heads to the ground, silently displaying their despair and sorrow.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but recall the two lively female fiends when they were still alive.

“Fine”

He sighed, stopped, and gave the two skeletons a simple burial.

After finishing this, he continued dashing forward.

Carefully counting the time, one second before the wind picked up again, Gu Qing Shan swung the [True Crimson Demon Spear] and cut open the wall.

He used the telekinesis hand seal to control the rubble and sealed it up with Elemental Ice just like the previous times.

The wind rampaged again!

Gu Qing Shan silently waited inside the wall for the wind to stop.

He will need to repeat this process over and over again until he reaches the end.

Splish splash

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Why is there the sound of water here?

——-no, why do I hear it so clearly?

Unless the sound of the water was closer than the wind.

Gu Qing Shan ignored the howling wind outside the wall for a brief moment and silently listened.

Splish splash

Again.

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes and tried knocking above his head.

———this is empty!

Gu Qing Shan swung the [True Crimson Demon Spear] without hesitation and cut upward.

Sure enough, he easily carved open a large hole.

Gu Qing Shan jumped up.

He found that he was standing in another hallway.

There was no wind here.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t let his guard down at all, he stayed close to the hole where he came in from and waited for a while.

——–still no wind.

This place seems to be quite a bit safer.

He silently sighed in relief and stepped forward.

Tick… tick…

As soon as he took one step, something seemed to have been activated as the sound of machinery rang out all over.

A cold and emotionless voice came from the darkness:

[Begin verification]

[Through signature life signs, determined to be: human civilian, adolescence child]

[In accordance with wartime protective protocols, allow adolescence entry into the Abyss Jail for temporary refuge]

[Please do not move about, currently relocating you to a safe location]

The voice disappeared.

Hearing this voice, Gu Qing Shan obediently stood still without moving.

This voice was the same as the one from outside the Tie Wei fortress wall, it was obviously some sort of authentication equipment.

The only difference was that it called me ‘little boy’ back then, and now it’s ‘adolescence child’.

Yup, I did grow up after all.

A round disk appeared underneath Gu Qing Shan’ feet, lifted him up, and carried him forward into the darkness.

It was a long flight.

Perhaps it was in consideration of my status as an ‘adolescence child’ and from how it was pitch black around here that the round disk was flying extremely stably.

After an unknown amount of time, the disk slowed down.

A voice came from the round disk:

[Considering this was your first time here, I suggest you pay attention below]

Gu Qing Shan looked down.

The darkness around him was slowly retreating.

A faintly opaque barrier could be seen coming from afar.

Through this barrier, he could see what was below.

Gu Qing Shan was shocked into holding his breath.

——–how incredible.

All he could see was a single sharp black claw.

This black claw seemed to be the vast boundless ground that took up his entire vision, so he couldn’t see what the owner of the claw looked like at all.

How——–

How could such a gigantic body exist!?

The voice from the flying disk explained to him:

[As you can see, on the other side of the barrier is one of the bio-weapons of us humans. It was given the responsibility to manage the Wraith realm as well as being the watchman of the tunnel to the Eternal Abyss]

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but utter: “What is it exactly?”

[The sleeping Demon Dragon]

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

So this was the Demon Dragon!

It had always stayed here, deep in its sleep.

The barrier that separated the two sides started to tremble a little bit.

The wind began to blow———

Intense storm winds came off of the black claw to form visible black wind currents that drifted in all directions.

[Child, please pay close attention, the Demon Dragon’s body carries too much power. When you are not being accompanied by an adult, you absolutely cannot get close. Otherwise, just the power waves it naturally gives off will be enough to form air currents that can extinguish your life]

Gu Qing Shan was stunned again.

So that’s what it was.

The wind that I struggled to avoid while being a Paragon realm Divine King, the wind that the Lord of Total Distortion had no choice but to sacrifice all of his subordinates and even his daughters to endure was nothing but air currents created by the powerful waves that naturally drifts from the Demon Dragon.

This is truly——- unbelievable and incomprehensible.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

“Then—– I want to ask, what is the Demon Dragon doing here?” he asked.

The round disk replied: [It is here to watch over the Abyssal Fate Weaver]

“The Abyssal Fate Weaver?”

Gu Qing Shan instinctively parroted the name.

This was the second name of an Abyssal entity he heard aside from the Soul Shrieker.

[Indeed, the Abyssal Fate Weaver is an Abyssal monster that far surpassed our expectations. It was able to capture and devour a creature’s soul, then put its own soul into the empty husk and infiltrate that creature’s society as a one of their own, turning that entire civilization into its food]

“Has it ever fought against humanity?”

[Indeed, it took control over many human leaders with high positions, then secretly created several paths leading into the Eternal Abyss. Fortunately, we managed to discover that before it was too late]

[All the paths were sealed up once again]

[And the Abyssal Fate Weaver was killed by us inside this secret path]

Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion: “Then what is the Demon Dragon watching over in this place?”

[The Abyssal Fate Weaver’s corpse——- as humans, we cannot revive after we are killed, but Abyssal monsters naturally have the Eternal characteristic that allows them to revive after a certain period of time]

Gu Qing Shan recalled the black finger.

Perhaps…

Ever since the lava cathedral was salvaged from the Ocean Abyss, the Lord of Total Distortion’s soul was already devoured by the Abyssal Fate Weaver.

And the current Lord of Total Distortion was actually the Abyssal Fate Weaver.

It sold out every evil creature races in order to obtain the key into this place.

It wanted to save itself!

Not good——–

Gu Qing Shan immediately took out the triangular key and loudly said: “Listen, I have something I have to tell you”
