Chapter 1219: Spirit Wanderer

Deep inside Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea.

His soul vessel had manifested into a solid form, standing on one side to observe the final sword strike being performed.

——-although it was one sword strike, he had actually used both the twin swords Heaven and Earth during it.

Trillions of Prayers drifted above the Heaven sword and emanated a strange summoning call.

Countless milky white fragments seeped out from underground, drifting within the sword-infused wind following Gu Qing Shan’s swings manifesting as unique runes.

They were world origin runes!

These were the origin that created this world, born from the secrets within the Primal Chaos, naturally manifesting as mystical runes.

——-the remnant world spirits, after absorbing the power of the Soul Shrieker and the Era of [Chaos], had been forged by Gu Qing Shan’s sword dance into their original essence.

Carrying certain characteristics, they once again took form as various Laws of origin——-

Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan swung the Earth sword in his other hand and drew a long arc of sharp sword phantoms.

He shouted: “All things and all living beings, by the power of the infinite worlds’ Laws, display your ‘Effects’!”

The ground broke apart.

The Soul Shrieker’s corpse flew out of the ground, then scattered into countless gloomy shadows in the air.

They were the people who died during the battle in the world of the Spire, fallen to Soul Shrieker’s attacks.

Gu Qing Shan watched his swords closely.

One sword was filled with the origin of the various worlds.

One sword carried the spirits of living beings.

While he was submerged in trillions of Prayers, performing the Living Being Sacrificial Dance to accomplish the final offering.

「 Right at this moment! 」

The hoarse female voice urged him.

Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan raised the Heaven sword and pointed it at the sky; at the same time pointing the Earth sword to the ground and chanted: “Cause and Effect undone, [Sacrifice of Infinite Worlds Resurrection], complete!”

At the very next moment.

From the ground of the ruined world, numerous spires rose from the ground, the countless dead Combatants reappeared from the location they had died and were resurrected.

While the innumerable world origin runes within the Heaven sword fused together, forming a faint pulsating ball of light.

Gu Qing Shan told the ball of light: “Due to the trillion Prayers and the descension of the Demon King, the Laws of Space and Time from the outside temporarily cannot affect this place; but once the Sacrificial Dance is over, neither of them would let you go”

“Enter my Iris Technique, this is the place you can recuperate and slowly mature”

The ball of light seemed to be sentient, as it bobbed up and down after hearing him and jumped into Gu Qing Shan’s left eye.

A new line of glowing text appeared:

[You’ve absorbed the new world created from the remnant world spirits of the past]

[Your World Technique is changing…]

First, it was the Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding, then his World Technique, a lot of Gu Qing Shan’s abilities had undergone unprecedented evolution and change.

But he wasn’t concerned about any of that.

The hoarse female voice quickly told him:

「 Keep in mind, you’ve altered history and altered everything that should have happened, causing Fate, Space-Time, and Causality to become erred 」

「 This world cannot return to where it used to be, otherwise, once the fluctuations of the Sacrificial Dance fades away, it will be immediately erased by the power of Fate and Space-Time 」

“Then, what should I do now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The female voice replied: 「 Relax yourself, I will perform one additional strike, expending all of your Prayers to ensure your safety 」

Gu Qing Shan then relaxed.

All of a sudden, he noticed his hand moving by itself, grabbing the Chao Yin sword from the void of space, as it began to perform a never-before-seen sword dance with his entire body.

A brilliant barrier of light slowly manifested in the sky, isolating this world from the outside.

“Senior——–” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said.

He then heard himself replying: “Everything is fine, I’m merely borrowing your body to complete this profound secret dance”

“I shall turn this world into an oasis that drifts along Space-Time”

“You shall continuously float along the River of Time towards the future, up until the fluctuations of Fate and Time completely calm themselves down”

Oom!

The world of the Spire began to tremble intensely.

「 Everything is fine, the world had merely left its original position and began to drift 」the female voice said.

Following her voice, Gu Qing Shan saw all sorts of images starting to manifest in the sky.

They were the original occurrences within the River of Time.

Within one of the images, Gu Qing Shan saw himself moving within the Strife Zones, looking for a chance to become stronger.

At the same time, he felt that he had regained control over his body.

「 This time, you’ve completed the Dance of Worlds Offering, as well as comprehending the fourth stage of the Sacrificial Dance. Remember to practice frequently and allow your Living Being Sacrificial Dance to advance soon 」the hoarse female voice told him.

“Yes, thank you seniors for teaching me” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The hoarse female voice told him: 「 Take good care of yourself, I hope you will one day make it to the Dusty World 」

Gu Qing Shan thought of something and asked: “Senior, I once entered the secret passage and reached the Giant of Beginning’s place within the layer of clouds, if possible, could I head to the Dusty World right now?”

He suddenly felt a burning sensation on his wrist.

Looking down, he saw that it was the Twine of Cloud of Atlas.

The hoarse female voice responded: 「 This twine of good luck is the key to making it past the layer of clouds. Keep in mind, you can only bring one additional individual with you at most on your trip, which is also the original owner of this twine 」

「 Furthermore, you probably won’t be able to make it there for the foreseeable future—— alright, I shall use the last bit of Prayers to manifest a vision of about what is to come within your Thought Sea, from which you’ll be able to observe what would happen in the future 」

「 Remember, don’t die 」

After saying so, the female voice stopped.

She had left.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt himself floating.

While looking down, he saw himself standing still with both eyes closed, completely motionless.

What am I——

While Gu Qing Shan was still confused, the War God UI displayed a few lines of glowing text:

[Attention, due to an unknown future vision technique, you’ve entered the Spirit Wanderer state]

[Spirit Wanderer: Your soul will turn into a projection inside a vision of the future, during which you can observe certain ‘determined’ events or things that had already happened in the future]

Although this description was confusing, Gu Qing Shan understood what it meant.

———the time of travelers to the past will continue to move forward without waiting for them to catch up.

Various visions manifested.

Gu Qing Shan first saw Su Xue Er.

Su Xue Er’s naked body was lying inside an incubation chamber filled with transparent liquid, currently in slumber.

She was evolving.

While Gu Qing Shan was observing this, a transparent image appeared from Su Xue Er’s body.

Her soul had exited her body, looking at Gu Qing Shan with an embarrassed expression.

She flew up to him, lifted Gu Qing Shan’s projection in both hands, and kissed him.

“I’ll be waiting for you”

She mouthed that message.

This vision then faded away.

Before Gu Qing Shan could answer her, he had already entered the next future vision.

He saw the Eternal Abyss, the God of Life, and the Wraith Lord who were desperately fleeing.

And then.

The giant eyeball appeared.

The God of Life was snuffed out without being able to flee.

The giant eyeball suddenly turned around to look at Gu Qing Shan’s projection.

Gu Qing Shan saw his vision going dark.

His projection completely vanished, then he found himself manifesting as another projection after a few seconds.

He was seeing another vision.

The people of the Wraith realm had avoided the Eternal Abyss, instead, invading the 900 million World Layers.

As the majority of their combative force had followed Gu Qing Shan into the past, the Wraith realm cultivators were met with basically no resistance.

Living beings were being killed and enslaved like cattle.

The Samsara world fragments were collected by the Wraiths and taken away.

The vision changed again.

Three Wraith Lords were secretly discussing something with some people.

They seemed to have reached an agreement, then jointly performed a technique to measure and calculate something.

One of the rays of light appeared from a Wraith Lord’s hand and manifested into the image of a certain world.

Seeing that world, Gu Qing Shan felt nothing but familiar.

It’s my homeworld.

—-what are you attempting to do in my homeworld?

Gu Qing Shan felt tense.

The vision scattered and reformed itself again.

The giant corpse’s world.

All the black skeletons had completely vanished.

The ground was filled with writhing black masses of flesh.

The giant corpse was coughing up blood while panting heavily.

He appeared to be gasping for breath.

His body originally only had bones remaining, but now there was some flesh attached to its skeleton.

But eerily, these black flesh didn’t seem to be part of his body, rather they had their own consciousness.

Although the Crimson Demon Divine Spear was powerful and could constantly kill off the writhing flesh, the most it was able to accomplish was making sure that the giant corpse’s head wasn’t covered by the masses of flesh as well.

At this point, the giant corpse suddenly noticed Gu Qing Shan.

Among all the visions so far, only he was able to speak: “You can now foresee the future!?”

Gu Qing Shan looked at him.

He only had a single head remaining, both its body and the bronze pillar had been covered in the writing masses of black flesh.

What exactly are they?

Gu Qing Shan felt a chill in his heart and replied: “Endure it, once I return to the future, I’ll go save you!”

The giant corpse tiredly looked at him, then suddenly said:

“No, don’t come, the Reality Gate is about to be broken through”

Gu Qing Shan froze.

The giant corpse continued: “There is only death in the future, other than that, there aren’t anything else”

“Stay in the past, Gu Qing Shan, do not attempt to return to the future”

The vision scattered and reformed again.

One final vision appeared.

Xie Dao Ling was riding a dragon through the boundless void.

Facing her was a woman who carried the boundless divine light of stars.

Simply by standing there, countless worlds were being created and destroyed behind her.

Gu Qing Shan’s pupils dilated.

He had already seen this woman.

Reneedol!

I can’t believe she ran into Shifu!

No.

Something isn’t right.

From her appearance, she was waiting for Shifu.

Gu Qing Shan’s heartbeat gradually quickened.

Reneedol observed Xie Dao Ling and muttered: “After countless years, I’ve finally found you. And now, you will be permanently destroyed”

She reached her hand out.

“NO!” Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted out loud.

All of a sudden, the visions thoroughly scattered away.

Everything returned to darkness, no longer to be seen.

Gu Qing Shan abruptly opened his eyes and panted heavily.

“You’re finally awake, Qing Shan”

Someone patted his shoulder.

It was Barry.

“Hah, you’re finally woken up”

A soft figure jumped into his chest.

It was Anna.

“Hey now, everyone is still right here, watch your image”

“Forget it, big sis Anna has been waiting for so long already”

“The Empress is right y’know”

Zhang Ying Hao, Laura, and Ye Fei Li.

Someone then praised: “Well done, that last sword strike was comparable to myself when I was still at my peak”

——-naturally, this was Boss.

From afar, a wasted drunk shouted:

“Yo! Reality’s most amorous man has awoken, wake up everyone, we’re going to host the grandest banquet so far tonight!”

The pixies had also arrived.

Gu Qing Shan observed everyone, watching their expressions of warmth or concern.

He silently clenched his fist.

The corner of his lip.

Slowly curved into a weak smile.

“Hah, someone get me some liquor”

He spoke with a calm and natural tone.

A bottle of strong liquor was soon brought over.

Gu Qing Shan turned his head backward and gulped it all down in a single breath.

Painful.

Fierce.

The burning sensation spread through his body.

“Hey, don’t drink too quickly”

Anna worriedly said and patted his back.

“To celebrate, I’ve decided to drown ourselves in drinks today, everyone is invited” Barry said with a determined tone.

“Ya!”

Everyone cheered to express their participation.

Barry turned to Gu Qing Shan.

“You OK with that?”

Everyone turned to Gu Qing Shan, waiting for his answer.

Gu Qing Shan paused for a second.

These people.

All of these lovable people.

The future.

That future…

…

No!

I swear on my sword, that future will never arrive!

Under everyone’s intense gazes, Gu Qing Shan displayed a casual smile.

“Since when have I ever had a problem with drinking?”
