After much hardship and difficulties, the two sides had reunited once more.

"Whose dog is this?" Xiao Die curiously asked.

"Hello" the black dog nodded to greet her.

「 Oh? Have you trained it? 」the Ominous Demon Tower Master curiously asked Gu Qing Shan.

"No, this is my friend, he's called Boss" Gu Qing Shan replied.

"Boss? You mean he also wants to be the boss?" Xiao Die scoffed.

"Do you know about that giant eyeball?" Boss asked.

"Of course" Xiao Die replied.

Boss turned to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan immediately continued: "That was actually Boss' eye"

Xiao Die appeared shocked and exchanged glances with the others.

Boss naturally acted proud.

The Ominous Demon Tower Master cautiously asked: 「… You mean that eyeball had been a dog's eye 1this entire time? 」

Boss: "…"

Gu Qing Shan: "…"

"What do you mean dog's eye! I've just temporarily taken this form; I can turn back later!" Boss angrily shouted.

"So that was it" the blind nun spoke.

Gu Qing Shan's gaze went through everyone and landed on Fei Yue.

"Long time no see" he walked forward.

Fei Yue looked at him and muttered: "I can sense my Fate------- it is right at this moment that everything will end"

Suddenly.

A huge amount of blood surged forward from the distance towards the underground river.

A presence capable of destroying everything was rapidly approaching this place.

"Not good! We need to run!" Xiao Die hurriedly called out.

Fei Yue smiled wryly and shook her head: "We won't be able to escape. I've already seen the truth within Fate, only my Death would give birth to the Divine Artifact"

"What Divine Artifact?" the blind nun asked.

"The most powerful Divine Artifact of Fate, the key to resolving everything and dealing with Reneedol" Fei Yue replied.

As she spoke, numerous Threads of Fate appeared from the void of space one after another. They began tying themselves around her body, wrapping around her wrists, her ankles, her neck, then eventually formed a length of rope that landed in Gu Qing Shan's hand.

Layers of colorful light began to surround Fei Yue's body.

Countless Laws of Reality had gathered here to witness the birth of the final Divine Artifact.

Fei Yue bitterly chuckled, then approached Gu Qing Shan and knelt with one knee on the ground.

"After I die, please bury me together with my mother. Xiao Die knows where she is" Fei Yue told him.

Xiao Die raised her eyebrows and jumped forward grabbing Gu Qing Shan's hand.

"Gu Qing Shan! What is going on!?"

She shouted out loud.

Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and simply looked at Fei Yue.

Boundless wind flew towards them from afar, carrying with it a blood-colored aura.

The wind had replaced the water flowing within the darkness of the river.

Far within the darkness, a monster manifested from blood was silently approaching.

Fei Yue quickly shook her head and told Xiao Die: "It isn't his fault. All the Laws of Fate have how gathered upon my body, they're hurriedly trying to manifest a weapon------ using my body and soul as the source of ignition"

The blind nun started sobbing and held tightly onto Xiao Die: "I've just seen a vision of the future as well. If Fei Yue doesn't die, this Divine Artifact of Fate will not be created, no one would be able to go against the Apocalypse summoned by Reneedol, and Reality as a whole would be destroyed"

Reality as a whole would be destroyed!

Xiao Die took a few steps forward out of shock, then looked back up at Gu Qing Shan.

She covered her mouth so that she didn't make any sound.

Gu Qing Shan didn't look at her at all, his expression slowly becoming cold.

He drew an autumn water-like blue steel sword.

-----the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

"Endure for a moment, it'll be over very quickly" he said.

Fei Yue clenched her teeth and closed her eyes.

The sword turned into a cold gleam and thrust through Fei Yue's chest.

"Pff… kuu… kuu…"

Fei Yue spat up some blood and barely managed to squeeze out a smile as two streams of tears rolled down her face.

"…I can't see Reneedol's death… but I regret nothing…"

She trembled and said.

Boundless light radiated from her body and slowly manifested into the silhouette of a scepter.

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan shouted: "Shannu!"

Oong oong oong------

The sword gave off a resounding vibration.

The layers of light were directly shattered into spinning runes that circled around the two of them.

Suddenly, a despairing female voice resounded from the void of space:

"NO-------- what kind of sword is this!?"

All the light then gathered in one place to form the shape of a woman who silently hovered in the air.

------the first Deity, Ruler of the Myriad Deities, Deity of Fate, Lachesis.

She looked down at Gu Qing Shan and spoke with a hateful voice: "I've used the power of Fate to obscure everything, anyone who attempted to make any predictions would only discover that this girl must die for Reality to be saved, so why didn't you kill her?"

Gu Qing Shan replied: "Because there is a target who's more worthy of being killed"

"That's impossible, how could you have discovered my measures!?" Lachesis was unwilling to accept this fact.

Gu Qing Shan's gaze was cold as he explained: "You three sisters once deceived the Myriad Deities to not pledge the vow of following the Lord of Radiance despite the two prophecies"

"You hid from your sisters the fact that you absorbed the lives of 8,000 Deities by yourself in order to make this Fate Prophecy-------- 8,000 Deities!"

Gu Qing Shan's voice was slightly raised, containing a bit more killing intent:

"During the underground Five Element calamity, you took Reneedol and fled, I saw that you were willing to make a vow to flatter her for the rest of your life if it meant you'd survive"

"When the three Divine Artifacts of Fate were forged, you purposely put the majority of your combined power into your own Divine Artifact and acted completely clueless in order to fool your sisters"

Lachesis couldn't understand at all: "No! Even they couldn't see through it, how could you------"

Gu Qing Shan lightly smirked: "No matter how wondrous your techniques might be, as long as your mindset is as deplorable as it is, I'd instantly understand what you were trying to do"

"----'your highness' Lachesis, I'd like to tell you that a ruler like yourself would only disappear into the dust of history because of your own schemes and machinations"

The layers of light in the darkness slowly shattered one by one.

Lachesis howled: "NO! The Fate Technique that I've spent years to weave contains unimaginable power within, once I resurrect, I------- would------"

"Keep dreaming" Gu Qing Shan coldly declared.

He wielded the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and activated his sword seal once again.

Zi zi zi zi… bang!

All the light emitted by the Laws shattered with a sharp noise.

The radiance that surrounded Lachesis' body all broke away, leaving her with nothing but a faint silhouette.

She abruptly began to laugh: "Do you think you've already won? This entire era is still going to be destroyed. Come, the entirety of the power of Fate lies right here, other than myself, you are the only person recognized by the Fate Prophecy--------- as long as you kill your friend, you would also obtain the power of Fate!"

Intense gusts of wind began to ravage the riverbed.

The presence that would destroy everything was extremely close.

Gu Qing Shan looked at Lachesis and smirked mockingly, telling her: "The power of Fate is to be used to save my comrades, not to kill them"

Lachesis laughed hysterically: "I don't believe you! There is no way that somebody would be unmoved in the face of such enormous power of Fate!"

"If you leave this power of Fate to scatter, all of you will die here all the same!"

"Choose, either she dies, or all of you will die together!"

Her voice abruptly stopped.

She had completely disappeared into the darkness.

Fei Yue looked at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan faced her gaze head on.

"Don't worry" he whispered.

Immediately after that, a book that exuded radiance opened right next to him.

Boss quickly flipped through the Book of Prophesized Destinies and said: "As soon as you pull out your sword, I'll begin healing her"

Gu Qing Shan abruptly pulled his sword away.

The green light of a healing technique was instantly focused on Fei Yue's wounds.

Gu Qing Shan helped Fei Yue stand up and lightly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, it's a long story, a scheme from the Age of Immemorial, but it's all over now" Gu Qing Shan told her.

Fei Yue didn't know what to say, so she just stared straight at him and blankly nodded.

"Ah------ there was something else, I should give this back to you"

Gu Qing Shan held her hand tightly.

Suddenly, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You're about to return the Fate Ability: Longing, to its original owner]

[Are you sure you want to do this?]

Gu Qing Shan casually replied: "I'm sure"

Instantly, the black thread wrapped around his hand vanished without a trace.

Fei Yue slowly looked down and stared at the black thread that had reappeared on her wrist.

-----this is [Longing]

He returned it to me without even batting an eyelid.

This is a Fate Ability!

Fei Yue had a complicated look in her eyes and whispered back to him: "Fate Abilities are all incredibly powerful, but you don't seem to like it that much?"

"I simply trust the sword in my hand more" Gu Qing Shan replied.

"Are you sure you don't want to use it for a bit longer?" Fei Yue asked.

"No need, it has helped me plenty of times already, now it's time for it to return to its original owner"

Gu Qing Shan smiled and told her.

Fei Yue stared at the confident smile for a long while without saying anything.

Xiao Die remained just a bit further away and signaled with her eyes.

Fei Yue lightly chuckled and discreetly shook her head, signaling back that she wouldn't do such a thing.

But she quickly fell into thought.

"Gu Qing Shan, I feel a bit light-headed, I can't stand up straight"

"Ah? Boss, your healing technique seems to be a bit faulty, take a look at it again!"

"How could that be?" Boss replied.

She had already leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Ah, so dizzy, so uncomfortable…"

While moaning in pain, she avoided Xiao Die's gaze of contempt.

On top of her white wrist, a small strand of thread suddenly appeared and wiggled around a little bit like it was searching for something before finally tying itself around Gu Qing Shan's wrist.

There's a little joke here, as the Chinese usually use the term "dog's eye" to refer to people whose eyes are blind to reality or ignorant
