Chapter 1792: The Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Eyes
That Red Dragon Origin Hex was nothing but an emergency measure.
After everyone politely greeted the City Lord, if someone was suddenly taken over and tried to attack——
Their attack would only hit themselves.
Even if the Creator Entity had avoided Red Dragon Origin Hex, Gu Qing Shan would also be notified of it by the Supreme Sequence without delay.
“Perhaps that person has some sort of grudge against me, no need to pay attention”
…
Gu Qing Shan turned back to the other five and earnestly explained.
The five of them exchanged glances before one of them stepped out and clasped his fist: “City Lord sir, can we be granted our corresponding authorities now?”
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: “Wait a moment, there’s one final test”
“One final test?” the five of them asked in unison.
“That’s right”
As Gu Qing Shan answered, he couldn’t help but think back to the Creator Entity’s words——-
…
“In the beginning, I created life and civilization merely to pass the maddening long flow of time”
“…but after the Samsara placed them through reincarnation once, I would usually lose my absolute control over these living beings…”
“…”
…
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes abruptly flickered.
All living beings that they created would escape their control after those living beings had undergone a single reincarnation within the Samsara.
Inversely, living beings that had not undergone reincarnation even a single time would remain under the Creator Entity’s absolute control!
——and what I need to do is to catch these living beings!
While also maintaining my own safety.
Gu Qing Shan retreated into the darkness and was teleported away.
As he entered a secret room within Star Gazer city, he ordered: “Project a real-time image of me in front of the five of them”
[Understood] the mechanical voice answered.
When they saw the City Lord leaving, the five people were very surprised, but then they suddenly noticed Gu Qing Shan’s projection.
“City Lord sir” they respectfully greeted him again.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and looked over the five of them: “At this moment, all of you are about to become the new rulers of Star Gazer city”
“But before that, you all must pass my test”
“What kind of test?” the five of them subconsciously asked.
“This test will assess your observation skills, your learning skills, your judgment, as well as body strength coordination. It will be an all-rounder test” Gu Qing Shan solemnly explained.
“What exactly is it?” someone tried asking.
Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands.
“Music, on” he called out.
A lively rhythm immediately began to play within Star Gazer city.
Bsh bsh pow—–
Bsh bsh pow—–
Gu Qing Shan began to move his body.
“Come, let’s get warmed up first”
“One two three four, two two three four, three two——-”
He told the group of five as he danced.
All five of them opened their eyes and mouths wide, but couldn’t help but started moving their bodies following his urging.
Lines of bloody red text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision:
[You’ve initiated the Three Lives Dance]
[From this moment on, you will be able to observe the three lives of your dance partners]
[Attention, as the amount of Merits you possess is insufficient, I can only convert them into a limited amount of Prayers, so you will only be able to see short glimpses]
Only short glimpses?
Glimpses are already enough!
Gu Qing Shan stepped forward and danced rapidly like a blurred image, swiftly finishing the whole Three Lives Dance in no time at all.
“Dance, gentlemen, this is your test!”
He loudly urged.
The five people awkwardly tried to follow him to very little effect.
——-the Three Lives Dance was extremely difficult to learn, let alone grasp. Even Gu Qing Shan had to dance with Shroud for an entire year while traveling forward through time before he managed to be so skillful with it.
Gu Qing Shan stopped his dance steps and clenched his fist in mid-air, calling out: “Come, show me their previous lives!”
In an instant, five screens showing the exact same thing appeared in front of him.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.
The screens were all showing him nothing.
In other words, these five… have no previous lives.
It was as if they suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Nobody could know how they became Samsara living beings.
Just like the Sequence envoys, they must have qualified for the Samsara Clash for Supremacy through unknown means.
But thinking back, since the Creator Entity had mentioned such a thing, it was obvious that the Samsara tacitly permitted entry to these outsiders.
It only needed these participants to undergo reincarnation a single time before they become pure Samsara beings.
But, wouldn’t that also be a loophole?
——considering these people haven’t actually undergone reincarnation.
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Continue, take a look at their most distant incarnation”
All the screens remain blank.
Afterwards, something seemed to be moving, growing increasingly clearer——
It was a black length of tube.
Each of these tubes were connected to a separate individual, while these people’s bodies appeared to be just a husk.
No innards, no flesh, no souls.
Literally empty husks!
Gu Qing Shan felt nothing but a chill down his spine.
Suddenly, lines of bloody red text popped up:
[Warning!]
[Disrupt your Sacrificial Dance immediately!]
Gu Qing Shan swiftly made his decision and undid his posture, allowing the power of the Dance to dissipate.
—-no matter what happened, he trusted the Supreme Sequence.
It had accompanied him for the longest time, something that his parents left him.
A second later.
The five screens instantly vanished.
The moving black tubes within the screens had also disappeared.
Without waiting for Gu Qing Shan to ask, lines of bloody red text quickly appeared:
[You and the Sequence have jointly witnessed the truth]
[We’ve discovered a legendary void monster]
[It isn’t some Creator Entity, but the @#$* feared by all living beings: ????]
Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise: “Why are there only question marks? Do you also not know its name?”
Lines of bloody red text appeared to answer him:
[Gu Qing Shan, you’ve once hunted an Apocalyptic monster that mustn’t be seen or heard, so you should know that the names of certain entities must not be invoked, otherwise, you would instantly become food for them]
“I understand that, but aren’t there some sort of method where you can pass on a little bit of information to me?” Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
Two large bloody red words immediately popped up:
[ABSOLUTELY NOT!]
Gu Qing Shan was shocked by these words.
The Sequence very rarely used enlarged text to display information unless it was something that must be emphasized.
But even then, there hadn’t been many occasions where this happened.
“You seem to be quite cautious?” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.
Lines of bloody red text appeared:
[Originally, I also assumed that they were a Creator Entity of the void, but it’s fortunate that you’ve learnt the Living Being Sacrificial Dance—— thus becoming the successor of the Sacrificial Dance; and also you were able to fully grasp the Three Lives Dance during the battle in the Age of Immemorial. It was because of both these factors that we were about to witness the truth]
[I can only inform you that both the Heavenly Emperor and the Creator Entity are nothing but vessels that it has taken over. Its main body isn’t here, and we would draw its attention if I reveal anything else about it]
[At that point, no one would be able to save you, Gu Qing Shan]
Gu Qing Shan fell into silence.
This is related to the Boundless Void… where nothing is sure…
Most of the time, you wouldn’t even be able to tell the backgrounds or foundations of some random monster that you come across.
This is simply the truth of the Boundless Void.
In the past, Kitty once said that there were only two classes of opponents: beatable and unbeatable.
She was still being relatively cordial about it.
In truth, another conclusion could easily be drawn from the way she and Barry usually lived.
——whenever they met a monster outside of their own civilization, a slightly crueler way to categorize them would be:
Alive, or dead.
—–things can be eaten and things that I’d be eaten by.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
No wonder the other party looked down on me so much, directly attacking me without a care of any consequences.
That was because it was more than qualified to do such a thing.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “Eating a Creator Entity as well as the Heavenly Emperor, if I can’t even try to discern what such an entity is, there’s no winning this Samsara Clash for Supremacy”
The Supreme Sequence replied:
[The only good news is that the Samsara has been able to observe everything, the will of the Samsara will most likely respond accordingly]
“The Samsara? What will it do?” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.
[Unsure, but only the Samsara would have certain unique capabilities, and only the Samsara would be able to inform you what that entity is without it noticing]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “Is the Samsara that impressive?”
[That’s exactly why all the Sequences have arrived to compete for it] the Supreme Sequence replied.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a mechanical voice spoke up:
[The five competitors had waited for a long time, they are requesting to talk with you]
Gu Qing Shan turned back to the monitor.
All five winners were still waiting for him.
——waiting for him to announce the results.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit speechless.
All of them are spies… and there’s no telling how many people from their side have managed to infiltrate Star Gazer city…
“You know what… aside from the evil creatures, kick everyone else out” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Also, issue a summon to all the evil creatures”
[Understood] the mechanical voice answered.
In an instant, all five winners vanished from Gu Qing Shan’s sight.
They’d been kicked out of Star Gazer city and teleported to random locations within the great tomb.
Suddenly, two lines of bloody red text appeared:
[Attention]
[The will of the Samsara has arrived!]
From the void of space, a radiant pillar of light descended from above and crashed straight into Gu Qing Shan’s body.
Lines of bloody red text swiftly showed up as reminders:
[During the previous war of civilizations, you’ve thoroughly defeated the Corruption Sequence]
[As your reward, your Samsara Divine Skill: Heaven’s Decree – Tribulation Lord has finished evolving]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
After I won, [Heaven’s Decree] has entered hibernation.
Perhaps…
The Samsara wanted to borrow this Dharma to do something?
He continued to read the bloody red text:
[Attention, in consideration of your performance up until this point as well as your identity as the successor of the Heavenly Dharma, your identity as a Huang Quan realm’s Chosen Saint, your identity as the Wraith realm’s only Chosen Saint, your identity as the successor of the Cessation Dance, as well as being the City Lord of Star Gazer city, you’ve obtained the twice-evolved Heavenly Dharma——]
[Heaven’s Decree – Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Eyes]
