"He should already know - the table has been turned over now, and it's time for him to take action." Gu Qingshan said casually.
"What is he going to do?" Determining Divine Sword asked.
"Eh? You are the strongest summoning sword in the void. I thought you knew that." Gu Qingshan said in surprise.
"I know what the heck, I'm just a killing sword." said the Determining Divine Sword.
Gu Qingshan smiled and did not continue.
now.
He was deep in the Ruins of Eternal Destruction, waiting for Fu Si's return, so he had time to chat with Bing Jie.
"Gu Qingshan."
"kindness?"
"You who belong to living beings are stalling for time, and you who are in the end of the world are so eager to help him. Isn't it a bit like sacrificing the first and chasing the last?" The Determining Divine Sword asked thoughtfully.
"You mean - I should hurry up and awaken those past eras?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"That's right, instead of waiting here, it's better to directly find a way to awaken the past era and launch an era war. In this way, you who belong to all living beings don't have to work so hard and delay time." The Determining Divine Sword said.
Gu Qingshan praised: "That's right. Among the swords I have, you are still the best at thinking about problems."
"So you decided to follow my advice?" Determining Divine Sword asked.
"That's not the case. In fact, there are some other reasons -"
Gu Qingshan paused and explained: "I don't know if you noticed it. It is said that the evil demons should have come here to find the Mother of Time, but I have already arrived at the ground, but I did not find a large number of evil demons."
The Determining Divine Sword said: "Do you think they have returned to the past?"
"Of course, they would rather go back in time and kill me, and then take down the Six Paths of Reincarnation in one fell swoop and become the Positive Era - after all, this is simpler."
"At this moment, due to the cooperation between me and my other self, he not only succeeded in delaying time, but also attracted a large amount of firepower, and may even have wiped out many evil spirits. This is a hugely profitable thing." Gu Qingshan said.
"Then what do you want to do next? Let's put aside the Era War first?" asked the Determining Divine Sword.
A rare look of anxiety appeared on Gu Qingshan's face, and he said softly: "I don't know... I probably need more power and information."
He focused his eyes on the void and said, "Let Mr. Ji give me a message - kill more demons as soon as possible. I need the power of real doomsday."
Two lines of small firefly characters suddenly appeared on the Chaos God of War interface:
"The Spirit of Eternal Destruction has been informed: Wardian Wisenmo Ramoshuai."
"It will relay your message."
Gu Qingshan looked away, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
He looked around.
wind.
It's getting colder.
The floating mist began to surge and boil.
A black shadow appeared from the fog not far away, standing in the air.
——It has nine insect-like faces, its head is as big as a millstone, but its body is as slender as a mortal's, and its hands and feet are insect limbs as sharp as knives.
"Gu Qingshan... I am one of the demons. You can call me Jiu Mian." The monster said.
"Did you turn the previous Emperor of Heaven into a spell and then kill him?" Gu Qingshan asked in a deep voice.
The Nine-faced Insect said: "The grievances between us and you may not be able to be settled even after hundreds of years."
"So you are not here to talk about grudges." Gu Qingshan said.
"I personally came to meet you in the chaos because I want to negotiate a condition with you." The Nine-faced Insect said.
"Say." Gu Qingshan said.
"We have decided to save the lives of all sentient beings in the Six Paths for you. You can take them away, as long as you leave the Six Paths of Reincarnation to us." The Nine-faced Insect said.
"Why are you so talkative all of a sudden? It seems that in the past era, you suffered heavy casualties?" Gu Qingshan said with a smile.
The Nine-faced Insect Man said coldly: "I see you here, on the one hand, because you have proven that you are worthy of such treatment, and on the other hand - I guess you are also hesitating."
"Oh?" There was no expression on Gu Qingshan's face.
All nine faces of the Nine-faced Insect Man turned around, stared at him and said: "Yes, the resting place of the Mother of Time is behind me, but even I dare not go deep into it so rashly in the chaos. Which—because I don’t know what the Mother of Time is.”
"Are you afraid of it too?" Gu Qingshan was a little surprised.
"We spent a billion years understanding the prehistoric era, and after permeating it bit by bit, we finally gained confidence and wanted to replace it in one fell swoop. But in the end we ended up where we are now, and we still haven't completely succeeded." The Nine-faced Insect said humanely.
"You are very cautious." Gu Qingshan said.
"You are also very cautious, knowing that among all the worlds, the most frightening thing is actually the unknown - when you face a completely unknown thing, it means you put everything about yourself in front of the other person. What will happen next? , no one knows." The Nine-faced Insect said.
"But Mother Time will cooperate with me - as long as it wants to wake up from its slumber, it must cooperate with me." Gu Qingshan said.
The Nine-faced Insect Man looked at him quietly and said: "The fishmen of the Time Clan are just a back-up left behind by the Time and Space Era. They have a good image, remain neutral, keep their promises, and maintain the iron law of time. ——So they were pushed to the stage and won the trust of future generations. I guess even they themselves don’t know what kind of truly terrifying existence was in those eras of time and space before the infinite years ago.”
Gu Qingshan said nothing.
The nine-faced insect man added: "In addition to the time and space era, there are many past eras that are sleeping in chaos. I guess you have seen some strange existences and know what incredible power they possess."
"What do you mean?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Stop pretending. The guy who joined forces with you was tied to the bronze pillar and had two seals broken. Even I don't dare to fight him now."
The Nine-faced Insect Man said in a serious tone: "Do you want to wake up all these terrifying guys from the depths of chaos?"
"It's better than everyone turning into demons." Gu Qingshan said.
The Nine-faced Insect Man shook his head and said: "Evil nature... is our instinct. There is nothing to say about this, but we can guarantee that once you are willing to give up resistance, you will be allowed to take away all sentient beings in the six realms."
It retreated into the mist and finally said: "The conditions have always been placed in front of you. If you agree at any time, the war will end at any time."
The fog grew thicker.
A few breaths have passed.
There was no more movement.
"It's gone." The Determining Divine Sword said.
"Yes." Gu Qingshan said.
"Will you accept the devil's conditions? End the war?" Determining Divine Sword asked.
"No." Gu Qingshan said.
"Let me state in advance that I will never stand on the side of the evil demon, but to be honest, its understanding of the past eras actually makes some sense." The Determining Divine Sword said.
"But I will not accept their conditions." Gu Qingshan said calmly.
"Why?" Boundary Defining Divine Sword asked.
"When the evil demons destroy the six paths of reincarnation and turn to the positive era, they will definitely come to kill us all. By that time, they have become the masters of the era and the final winners. No one can stop them from doing anything they want to do. I guess they may want to Transform all living beings into evil demons, and the lowest slaves among the evil demons, to show their victory - maybe treat us as food? Pets? Ornamental species?" Gu Qingshan said slowly.
The Determining Divine Sword said: "You think a lot."
"This is a historical fact that many civilized wars reach the same destination through different paths - history never lies, so we will never surrender or admit defeat." Gu Qingshan said.
"That's it." said the Determining Divine Sword.
At this time, streaks of quicksand appeared from the void.
Ms. Fusi is back.
"It's going well." She said with a bit of a smile.
…
After some narration, Ms. Fu Si recounted all the things that had happened over time.
"So, they are afraid of being killed?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"I think so." Fu Si said.
Gu Qingshan smiled.
No wonder he came to negotiate peace. He really came after suffering a lot.
He said: "Madam, you have placed a lot of small events in each time period, and then leave it to the other me."
"Don't you need to tell him?" Fu Si asked.
"No, madam, I'm really bothering you this time. Please go and rest." Gu Qingshan said.
"Okay, call me anytime if you need anything. Our waiting companions are continuing to hone their skills and increase their strength, just to fight against the evil spirits in the decisive battle." Fu Si said with a smile.
"Yeah." Gu Qingshan also smiled.
Fu Si nodded at him, and his figure gradually disappeared into the void.
After she left, Gu Qingshan looked at the fog ahead again.
——The huge shadow was motionless behind the fog.
The Mother of Time sleeps there!
But what exactly is it?
What kind of power does it have? What's on your mind? What will you do after you wake up?
There is no answer.
Gu Qingshan took a deep breath, drew out the Boundary Sword and flew towards the shadow.
