Chapter 1034: Reality’s Greatest

“[Twin Snakes of Impermanence]!”

The old man’s fearful shout was abruptly cut off.

As the leader of his operation, he intended to continue hiding behind everyone and give orders like before, never did he expect to be struck by a Divine Skill!

——–the 5th strongest known Divine Skill!

Once struck by this ability, no defenses would be able to save him from dying.

In front of everyone, the black-robed girl flew out of the old man’s body while carrying a jade-green fishing rod.

At the end of the fishing rod was a black hook that easily fished the old man’s soul out of his body.

Lightly twirling in the air, the black-robed girl flew up towards the faraway sky.

The old man’s soul desperately struggled, but couldn’t escape from the hook nor utter a single sound and was pulled away helplessly.

Right as the black-robed girl left, the white-robed girl went out of the old man’s body.

The white-robed girl held an azure glaze lamp in her hands, silently made her way in front of Gu Qing Shan, and offered it to him.

Inside the azure glazed lamp was a mass of animated light of vitality that shined brightly as it gave off immense power.

Having seen Adorable’s description of this skill, Gu Qing Shan knew what was happening.

He reached one finger out to touch the light inside the lamp, then pointed it towards Lin.

——The one in black pulls the soul, the one in white returns life.

The white-robed girl would steal the vitality from the target’s body, after their soul had been taken away, for the caster of the technique to use as they pleased.

Just like what the cultivators from before said when they ambushed Gu Qing Shan, they intended to use [Twin Snakes of Impermanence] to take Gu Qing Shan’s life, then revive Elder Chang who Gu Qing Shan killed.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that during Gu Qing Shan’s arduous journey into the past, he obtained the natural treasure of heaven and earth——- the jade gourd pendant Adorable.

Furthermore, they didn’t know that Gu Qing Shan infiltrated Huang Quan by himself while he was still alive, recognized by the sword of Huang Quan, and had obtained the power of [Invincible] and [Law Breaker].

No one would be able to replicate what he had achieved.

For these reasons, not only was the [Twin Snakes of Impermanence] technique they prepared unable to take his life, but it also became a tool for him to use instead.

As Gu Qing Shan pointed his finger, the light of vitality inside the glaze lamp scattered into tiny sprites of light, bypassed the limits of distance, and was directly absorbed into Lin’s body.

After Lin closed her eyes and checked herself, she smiled at Gu Qing Shan and told him: “I’ve recovered a bit”

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

That’s great, the old man’s cultivation was decent so his vitality managed to help Lin heal some of her injuries.

——-in fact, Gu Qing Shan had already realized very early on.

Lin had stayed by Anna without moving too far away out of fear that these cultivators would try to ambush and hurt her.

Even if she gained the advantage, they would simply attempt to attack Anna and force Lin back into a passive position.

If that wasn’t the case, with Lin’s strength, there was no need for her to limit herself to stay within Anna’s vicinity and passively endure their attacks.

At this point, the white-robed girl had finished her role in the technique, so she curiously circled around Gu Qing Shan.

She then showed a sudden expression of understanding and muttered:

“No wonder, you were the king of ghosts”

Saying so, the white-robed girl bowed slightly towards Gu Qing Shan and flew back into the air.

As she left, the old man’s body collapsed to the ground, now thoroughly a corpse.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly bowed back.

But the girl left so quickly that she went completely out of sight in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qing Shan sneaked a glance at the group of remaining cultivators.

Only to see that they had completely frozen up as they saw those two girls, staying completely still without moving a muscle.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t hesitate any longer and used [Shadow Shift] to change places with Lin.

“What’s this about?” Lin asked.

“You look like you were greatly frustrated, so I’ll protect Anna, you can go wild” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Looking at him, Lin’s eyes contained a hint of a smile.

——-without the need to watch over Anna, how can any of these guys even land a hit on her?

She exhaled, stood with a straightened posture without any defensive stances, and indifferently looked at the cultivators.

“All of you, at once” Lin stated.

The cultivators simply stared cautiously at her without making any moves.

“Retreat!”

Someone shouted.

——-it was the same cultivator who was responsible for monitoring Lin’s state earlier.

With this shout, all the cultivators turned around without any hesitation and scattered in every direction.

Lin smirked.

“You flee quite quickly, but don’t think you’ll be able to escape this time”

She muttered and vanished.

She had caught up to and killed one of them.

Then another one was also killed.

Then another one was killed too.

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!

After about 20 breaths’ worth of time, every cultivator around her was dead.

Lin slowly returned without a drop of blood on her body.

“Why did you come here?” she curtly asked.

Gu Qing Shan tossed something to her.

Lin’s eyes flickered a bit and caught that item.

Only to see that it was a spider ring.

“This is… a higher-leveled ring of vow”

Lin muttered blankly.

“Indeed, the Apocalypse of the parallel world will soon arrive to destroy this place, the Eternal Abyss had me bring this ring to you and resolve this threat” Gu Qing Shan explained.

Lin didn’t say a word and silently put the ring on her finger.

A swift moment with her eyes closed.

“In one minute, the truly powerful forces of the parallel world will arrive” Lin stated, “I’ll have to deal with them, then return to the Abyss to participate in the war”

“Will it be dangerous?”

“Very dangerous”

“I’ve always wondered what kind of thing the Apocalypse of the parallel world is, we’ll face them together when they come”

Lin lightly chuckled, then shook her head: “You’re not strong enough”

“Are you looking down on me? Although I——-”

Halfway through his sentence, Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.

He found himself unable to move.

Numerous strands of white thread had appeared from the void, completely restraining him.

These threads were several times stronger compared to when Lin was still the Abyssal Fate Weaver, Gu Qing Shan found himself unable to even release his spirit energy.

Lin had restrained him.

“Why?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Lin looked intently at her threads, answering him while sensing its strength:

“It seems the war really had gotten to a crucial point, and my actions have garnered a higher evaluation from the Abyss, that’s why the Eternal Abyss had provided me a peerless Abyssal form of this level”

“——for the upcoming battle, you really cannot participate?”

“Why not?” Gu Qing Shan questioned.

“Because this will be a Deity-level war, one that far surpasses what you are capable of” Lin replied.

“It’s only Deity-level, you look down on me too much, I truly need to fight——- you should know as well, how much I crave to gain Soul Points” Gu Qing Shan refuted.

Lin silently listened and watched him with a gentle gaze.

“After I regain my Abyssal form… you should know as well, what my Fate Weaver name entails”

Gu Qing Shan was startled.

Right, having obtained a new ring of vow, she has once again obtained her mind-reading ability, as well as her ridiculous Causality Skill: [Existence].

She knows everything that goes on in my mind.

“…Gu Qing Shan, I really appreciate your worry of me”

“But this battle will be much too dangerous, and through this ring, the Abyss has also provided you a fixed warp point—— exactly two minutes after you give me this ring, you will be warped back to the location called Calming Soul Country”

She reached out with her hand that wore the ring, gently stroking Gu Qing Shan’s eyes, ears, and face.

“Your elder sister is going, take care of yourself”

Right after she said so.

She kissed him.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Lin suddenly took a step backward and begrudgingly muttered: “I forgot, even though your body is restrained by the threads, your tongue…”

Her face started to flush a golden-red color of the sunset, unable to look Gu Qing Shan straight in the eye any longer, she twisted her body and leapt to the sky.

In the air, her ring started to give off a mass of gloomy fog that fully enveloped her.

Her body started to morph.

She no longer had the appearance of a spider, but a different, more beautiful entity that struck awe and inspiration in the minds of all———

Unfortunately, as Gu Qing Shan was restrained by the snow-white spider threads, he couldn’t move, even his spirit energy and inner sight had been greatly hindered, thus he couldn’t sense Lin’s change.

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

[You’ve performed Reality’s Greatest Kiss (passive skill)]

[Combat synopsis: In combination with your actions from before, you’ve successfully conquered her heart]

[After 45 seconds, you will be transported to Calming Soul Country]

[After 45 seconds, the Abyssal spider threads that restrain you will automatically disappear]

Gu Qing Shan sighed—– then froze again.

Anna.

At some unknown point, Anna had regained her consciousness.

Her long crimson hair had turned jet-black, her body covered in a gloomy wind that exuded a heavy sense of mysticism.

Putting her long scythe away, she swiftly walked towards Gu Qing Shan.

“Hmph, even if she helped me complete the inheritance process and I’m grateful for it, she’s not getting away with snatching my man!”

Anna loudly shouted.

She walked right up to Gu Qing Shan and begrudgingly told him: “That elder sister of yours is too vicious about killing people, she’s not an ideal lover at all. Not to mention, she openly expressed her affection in public!”

In public…?

Gu Qing Shan glanced around them.

Nothing but corpses.

Hm… right, I guess you could say this is public.
