The whole world has come to a sort of standstill.
Gu Qingshan only felt an invisible waterfall surging around him.
This waterfall separated him from this time and space.
Outside the waterfall, Laura, Miyuki and themselves were walking towards the door, preparing to go to the road and wait for the truck driver.
If you want to enter this time and space...
Gu Qingshan's mind moved, and the waterfall immediately retreated to both sides, revealing the true appearance of this world.
At the same time, a line of small scarlet words jumped out:
"Notice!"
"You activated the forbidden sword: 'Mirror of Quicksand'."
"You are completing a time and space displacement of yourself."
"——You replaced yourself and reached the current moment."
"The 'you' at this moment in the past will appear directly in the future where 'you' are."
"You can do anything from now on, but it can't interfere with what you've been doing all this time."
"When you arrive in the future again - when you reach the moment when you activate the sword technique, you must return to the place where you activated the sword technique to cover up your replacement and ensure that the whole thing does not cause time and space chaos."
"In addition, you must complete the entire closed-loop process before you can release the time and space sword technique 'Quicksand Mirror' again. Otherwise, you must not release this sword."
"——This is all to avoid attracting the attention of the Time Clan, and also to avoid being discovered by the terrifying existence in the long river of time and space."
"Good luck."
Gu Qingshan took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
He took a step forward.
In an instant, the person in the room disappeared.
——The self went to the future and was practicing swordplay in the desert.
And since I replaced him, I can no longer touch anything I have done. I must ensure that these things continue to develop along the existing track until the moment I use the "Quicksand Mirror".
"Gu Qingshan, hurry up, the truck driver is already starting the truck." Laura urged.
Gu Qingshan looked at the two women quietly.
In the original timeline, he followed them to the side of the highway, waiting to accept the truck driver's truck.
Gu Qingshan said: "Lola, I suddenly remembered something very important and I must do it immediately."
Laura was surprised: "Huh? Then we are now——"
"The troops are divided into two groups. Let's go to the desert. You can rush there immediately after finishing your work. By the way, are you in danger of dying?" Miyuki asked.
"No, don't worry." Gu Qingshan said.
"But-" Laura wanted to say something else.
Gu Qingshan immediately said: "I can't delay my affairs, and you can't delay either. Go quickly, trust me."
Miyuki said: "Well, you have to come quickly."
"Well, don't worry."
Miyuki pulled Laura who was reluctant to leave, opened the door and walked out.
The door closes.
Gu Qingshan stood there, lost in thought.
...This sword technique actually caused some problems in time and space.
It layers space and time.
On the surface level, everything kept moving forward around the original trajectory until the moment when I practiced swordplay in the desert.
Everything looks fine.
I will rush to the desert at that moment, replace my past self again, and keep the timeline and event line as they are.
But beneath the surface -
There is another layer of time and space.
Time, space and events are altered.
He did not go to the desert with Laura and the others.
In other words, everything he does next will be an unrecognized "black history", just like the undercurrent under the calm water, no one knows.
but--
Cause and effect are not empty.
You will change the original trajectory of many things.
Except for the things he originally did.
This is exactly what the saying "You can do anything but interfere with what you have been doing all time" means.
Gu Qingshan stood in front of the window, silently sensing the entire rest stop.
There were no followers of the Earth God at the rest stop.
The nearest believer is probably hundreds of kilometers away.
So……
He suddenly saw the truck driver carrying a heavy bag and running back to the rest stop in a hurry.
The truck driver made a phone call.
He was walking in the aisle outside the rest stop, walking back and forth restlessly, as if waiting for something.
Gu Qingshan frowned slightly.
Time passes slowly.
I saw a car coming from the distant road and parked outside the rest stop.
The truck driver immediately ran over and got into the truck.
The car turned around and headed towards the city.
"What happened? Where is your car?" asked the driver.
"There was something wrong. I had someone tow it away. Not to mention that, thanks to you today. I'll pay for your gas back and forth, and I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow," the truck driver said.
A smile suddenly appeared on the driver's face.
"We are all old friends, and yet we are so polite."
"It should."
"Hey, look, it's really strange that there are still people walking on such a remote road."
The driver suddenly said.
The two of them looked towards the roadside together and saw a young man standing on the roadside, smiling at them.
The cart passed by the man and left quickly.
Gu Qingshan stood on the roadside and waited quietly for a while.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him.
"The God of Travel?" Gu Qingshan asked without looking back.
The footsteps stopped.
A voice sounded: "So you were deliberately seen by my followers?"
"Yes, I want to meet you and talk about something." Gu Qingshan said.
He turned around and saw a thin man standing opposite, carrying a bag and looking at him quietly.
"What do you want to talk about?" asked the God of Travel.
"I am in charge of the earth, and you are in charge of people's journeys. Looking at it this way, we actually have a lot to cooperate with." Gu Qingshan said.
"The number of your followers is growing too fast, which is offensive - you will definitely be squeezed out by the gods in the future. Why should I rush through this muddy water?" asked the God of Travel.
Gu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I thought I would not offend anyone. After all, in history, you have had countless battles between gods. The gods have changed one after another. You should be accustomed to the struggle for faith, even A superficial courtesy should be maintained with each other.”
The God of Travel stared at Gu Qingshan.
Suddenly, another person came out from behind him.
This was a burly man with a mustache, with several weapons tied to his back and two long knives hanging from his waist.
"Let me answer your question, because we didn't expect that the Earth God's position governs such a wide area, and you can have a hand in any field." The burly man said.
"What's your name?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"I am Li Jiu, the God of Weapons - look at the weapons in my hands. They all require metals produced by the earth to be smelted. As for travel, it is related to the earth of the world; not to mention harvests, burials, forests, and rivers. ——No one can avoid your priesthood." Li Jiu, the God of Weapons, said.
Gu Qingshan spread his hands and said: "I like to mingle with everyone."
Two more voices sounded:
"This is not called mingle."
"This is called grabbing food."
——I saw two strange gods coming out from behind the God of Weapons.
Four gods.
They surrounded Gu Qingshan from four directions.
"The God of Life says that after I am strong enough, I can go to her and she will help me join the lawful camp." Gu Qingshan said.
A god said: "You will never be qualified to find her."
Another god immediately said: "——Because you will die here."
The four gods were filled with murderous intent and were about to take action immediately.
Gu Qingshan crossed his arms and sighed: "I actually joined the lawful camp because I wanted to tell a secret."
The four gods looked at him, waiting for him to finish speaking.
A line of small scarlet words quickly appeared in front of Gu Qingshan's eyes:
"Tranquility, enthusiasm, anticipation, and concentration have all gathered together."
"Start your show—"
Uh-huh!
Gu Qingshan made a fork on the spot.
The four gods were caught off guard, their bodies dwarfed, and they also made a split.
Li Jiu, the god of weapons, said nothing and drew a spear; the other two gods also took action, but stopped together.
Gu Qingshan was seen pressing his hands on the ground, spreading his legs and standing on his head.
- Cabaret performer.
"You will be able to perform two more splits in different postures after the first split is successful."
Li Jiu and the other gods had to give up their attack and followed Gu Qingshan to complete the second split.
"It's a pity. If you want to kill me, then I have no choice."
Gu Qingshan said.
The void moved.
Just hearing a muffled sound of "dong", the bloody giant fell to the ground and raised his hands high towards the God of Weapons——
Immediately afterwards.
Countless blood sea spirits appeared one after another, tightly surrounding the four gods.
The God of Travel lost his voice and said: "This is impossible! Such a control-type spiritual skill requires many prerequisites. You obviously-"
Gu Qingshan sighed, straightened his body, and began to do the splits for the third time.
"You don't understand the true power of the Earth God. In fact, even I have just begun to understand it."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.
boom! ! ! !
The earth roared violently.
A plume of smoke rose into the sky.
