Among rubble and debris.
The figure of light, the God of Frost and Chill, and Luo Bing Li were all looking at Gu Qing Shan.
Only the power of the [Demon King Order] was missing among the three coins.
And now, everything depended on him.
Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the void of space in front of himself, apparently reading something important.
He said nothing, but an expression of surprise slowly emerged on his face.
All of a sudden, a red glow appeared out of nowhere and went into his body.
“What was that? What happened to you?” the God of Frost and Chill couldn’t help but question.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively to gesture that there was nothing wrong.
Luo Bing Li glared at the Divine King briefly.
The God of Frost and Chill suddenly realized something and spoke with a grim expression: “Gu Qing Shan, if you try anything funny, your agreement with this king shall end right now!”
The figure of light cut in: 「 Don’t worry, your Divine Majesty, the [Order] has indeed descended upon him, there are no problems, he’s only communicating with the [Order] for the first time 」
The God of Frost and Chill let out a cold snort: “Then that’s fine, but are we just going to stand here and wait?”
The figure of light spoke: 「 Indeed, we will need to wait for a while 」
The God of Frost and Chill said nothing else.
They continued to wait.
——–Gu Qing Shan was indeed communicating with the [Demon King Order].
As a veteran who had carried the [Order] twice already, Gu Qing Shan knew exactly what was going to happen next.
The [Order] would measure his strength, initialize it, and use that to issue Quests.
As the Quests are completed one by one, more functions of the [Order] would be unlocked.
Once the [Order] gathers enough Soul Points, it will proceed to upgrade itself.
After upgrading, the [Order] would be able to provide more power and more useful functions for its carriers.
This was a symbiotic relationship where both sides grow along with one another, but because this was the [Demon King Order], it would take away the majority of the obtained Soul Points and treat its carriers like they were in an insect pot. (1)
However——-
There weren’t many who carried the [Order] in the Primordial Heaven Realm right now.
As soon as someone did, they would be killed.
How would the [Order] react in this situation?
Gu Qing Shan was silently curious.
As he expected, lines of bright red text appeared on the blood-red UI.
[The Order is currently performing a total body scan]
[Discovered anomaly within the scan]
[Detected that you have a special identity]
[Verifying identity!]
Out of nowhere, a blinding bright red glow appeared.
This red glow poured into Gu Qing Shan’s body and only disappeared a few moments later.
This was what caused the God of Frost and Chill to be surprised.
The lines of red text disappeared.
[Kindling]’s voice came into Gu Qing Shan’s ears.
[Venerable Envoy of Condemnation, the Order welcomes Your Excellency to fight alongside it]
[The Order shall create corresponding battle Quests in accordance with Your Excellency’s strength]
Its voice sounded a bit closer.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
Envoy of Condemnation?
Wasn’t that my Card form?
I didn’t expect the Card identity that Little Dusk gave would cause the [Order] to pay special attention to me.
Now that I really think about it, there were a few Card users in the past life who carried the [Order], but none of them were ever treated in any special way.
Seems like this is a unique case for Little Dusk’s status.
——she originally came from the Bygone Era but lost her memories, that was why she was deceived by the Divine race and worked for them.
If even the [Order] respects an Envoy of Condemnation so much, I can assume that the Envoy of Condemnation had quite the considerable status in the Bygone Era.
Carefully thinking about this, using cards to fight should be a Mystic-type ability.
Because the existence of the Cards themselves are things that cannot be considered using common sense.
Before evolving to become [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Human Regiment], the large-scale War System: Water God was also Card.
These thoughts quickly flashed in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.
He took a deep breath and answered the [Order]: “What should we do now?”
[When talking with me, please refer to me as Kindling—— until I evolve] the [Order] replied.
“Alright, [Kindling], what should we do now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Confirming current situation to issue the first Quest]
[As the current situation is in a delicate balance, arbitrarily breaking it could draw the attention of the avatar of an immeasurably powerful existence that threatens the destruction of everything. As such, the Order has temporarily changed the strategic course of action]
[The first Quest has been issued]
Lines of blood-red text began to show up on the UI.
[Quest: Invading the Evil Realms]
[Quest description: The Primordial Wraith Realm used to be a place of long-term strife, ever since it was broken apart, powerful devils and fiends have taken over fragments of the Wraith Realm as their own, they constantly invade one another’s fragments, hoping to collect powerful World Origin from fusing the fragments]
[To obtain the power of evolution, you must enter this fight!]
[Quest objective: Enter the Wraith Realm, join a faction and obtain victory in your first battle]
[Quest reward: Kindling’s first function will be unlocked]
[The Quest will now begin!]
[Special note: To become the legendary Demon King of Condemnation, the Order encourages Your Excellency to do your best!]
Gu Qing Shan read through everything.
Encouraging me to do my best…
Since when has the [Demon King Order] been able to sweet talk someone?
He shook his head, stopped staring blankly, and looked at the others.
「 Was it successful? 」the figure of light asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him.
This figure of light doesn’t know that I was an Envoy of Condemnation.
The Divine race probably only managed to find the Angel of Condemnation – Little Dusk due to the connection between her and the coin.
While I’m only an Envoy of Condemnation.
In other words, the Divine race doesn’t know of the mysterious relationship between the Envoy of Condemnation and the [Orders].
Gu Qing Shan calmed down a bit and replied: “Everything was as expected. [Kindling] has issued a first Quest for me to travel to the Wraith realms”
「””The Wraith realm?””」everyone else asked at the same time.
Gu Qing Shan explained: “Indeed. Since the Primordial Heaven Realm is currently under constant monitoring by the Soul Shrieker, it’s unsuitable for large-scale battles”
“And [Kindling] requires such battles to absorb the power to evolve”
“Because of that, I will travel to the Wraith Realm, join the ranks of the evil creatures and participate in battles there”
The figure of light told him: 「 You are a human, as soon as you appear in the Wraith Realm, you’ll be repelled by the majority of them. That’s a big problem 」
Gu Qing Shan looked straight at him: “There’s a reason why you bunch haven’t been able to catch me even after pursuing me for so long. I have my own way to deal with that problem”
The God of Frost and Chill asked: “What do you need?”
“For now, I don’t need anything, just help me open the gate into any Wraith realm” Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 That’s no problem, I’ve just entered a fragment of the Wraith realm not too long before, I still have the method to enter that place 」the figure of light said.
He raised his voice and chanted an incantation:
「 Xie Qi Realm, the lost abyssal sanctuary of all evil creatures, open your gates for me! 」
Oom—–
An invisible glowing black gate appeared in the void of space.
This was the warp formation leading into the Xie Qi Fiend Realm.
“Then I’ll be on my way” Gu Qing Shan said.
The God of Frost and Chill couldn’t help but spoke: “No, you cannot go by yourself! I—– must monitor you!”
The figure of light tried convincing him: 「 Your Divine Majesty, as a Divinity, if you appear in the Wraith Realm, it would only cause a bigger commotion. The fiends and devils all hold a terrible grudge towards us, so they will surely use all their power to kill you 」
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the Divine King and gestured with his eyes: “Don’t worry, since you’ve already promised to help me find the Heaven sword, I’ll naturally do what I need to”
“Ah yes, this human cultivator Luo Bing Li, you must protect her well, as she’s related to the final clues of the Heaven sword”
“Do not worry, this King knows discretion” the God of Frost and Chill replied.
The figure of light also nodded to express his agreement.
“Then I will go”
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan touched the warp gate and disappeared from the Primordial Heaven Realm.
The God of Frost and Chill trembled very slightly.
「 Your Divine Majesty? 」the figure of light doubtfully looked at him.
“Hm, I was just thinking about something” the Divine King replied.
「 What kind of thing? 」the figure of light asked.
“You should know this as well, at the beginning of our origin, we used to coordinate in battles alongside the humans”
「 Yes, I do know this 」the figure of light nodded.
The Divine King’s tone changed a little bit: “Since it was battle coordination, I was thinking whether or not we could use this method to win against those of the Desolate race”
「 Your Divine Majesty, you mean…」
“Hm, for the sake of completing our plan, we must try to help Gu Qing Shan”
Silently listening on one side, Luo Bing Li couldn’t help but sigh.
…
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan continued to travel through the space vortex.
He used the rest of his Soul Points to take the Xie Qi Fiend King’s form.
This was a Fiend King who had a handsome face and a completely black body.
He looked similar to humans except for a long, horned tail behind his back.
If it weren’t for this tail, the Xie Qi Fiend King would appear a bit weak and feminine.
This appearance made Gu Qing Shan feel a bit uncomfortable.
With an appearance like this… Fiend King… makes it so hard to respect him.
Gu Qing Shan awkwardly moved his body around to dispel some of the negative energy within this body.
He recalled the last time he went to this Wraith Realm.
The last time he went to the Xie Qi Fiend Realm, humanity already went extinct.
It was the end of the Age of Old.
At the time, both the Xie Qi Fiend Realm and the Xie Qi Fiend King’s wife already belonged to the Cruel Bone Devil King, the Xie Qi Fiend King was nothing more than a puppet.
As Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a screen of light appeared in front of him.
The Xie Qi Fiend Realm was on the other side.
Gu Qing Shan hovered into that screen of light.
As soon as he touched it, the space vortex around him disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing within a gloomy dark sky and quickly falling down.
He controlled his descent so that he floated down instead.
Right below him was a luxurious palace.
This was a very familiar sight——–
Isn’t this the Xie Qi Fiend King’s palace?
At this point in time, humanity had just gone through a huge war, the first Divinity had just fallen, which was a lot earlier in the timeline compared to the previous time.
I wonder how the Xie Qi Fiend King is doing during this point in time.
Yeah… that’s a crucial problem since I’ll be impersonating him again soon…
Gu Qing Shan’s body flashed, activated [Ground Shrink] to appear in front of the palace.
He immediately saw a fiend.
——it was the Xie Qi Fiend King himself!
I didn’t think I’d run into him right away!
The Xie Qi Fiend King was currently kneeling on top of a washing board, crying and begging towards a certain location within the palace: 『 I beg you, trust me just this once, I swear I won’t hide rent money for myself anymore! 』
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
