Chapter 945: Long Journey
The man had a black short bob cut, wearing a thick pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his eyes and casual clothing with a nice pair of leather shoes.
The Abyssal Demon Dragon had taken the form of a bulky man as he walked behind this man.
「 Your Excellency, I don’t understand 」
While talking, the Demon Dragon was making sure to adjust his pace so that he was walking behind the man.
“What don’t you understand?” the man asked without turning around.
「 Why does a respectable and infinitely powerful entity like yourself want to register as a hitman in the mortals’ Hitman Guild? 」 the Demon Dragon carefully asked.
“Ahaha, isn’t it interesting? Not only can I earn money, but I’ll also be able to travel legally between every world as well” the man replied.
The Abyssal Demon Dragon lowered his voice: “Your Excellency, if you require wealth, I can make it so that all the wealth within the Strife Zones would become yours”
“Tsk, you still don’t get it. The important part isn’t the wealth, it’s the enjoyable process of killing others to earn that wealth. Furthermore, there is a certain clue that I wanted within the Hitman Guild” the man replied, narrowing his eyes.
He suddenly took out a really thick book from his chest and opened it.
A young man was depicted in the book with 4 swords hovering behind his back.
The young man was facing the void, apparently talking to a cluster of nebulae.
This image slowly faded, no longer easily seen.
“How strange. Fate and Space-Time is certainly beginning to shift, but my Book of Prophesized Destinies should not be obscured by the chaos of this era…”
While talking, the man suddenly stopped.
A new image showed up in his book.
The image depicted the two-faced Soul Shrieker.
On another page, a young girl wielding a long staff was busily hiding herself while another girl was flying through the sea of stars, slowly approaching the hidden girl.
The man impatiently complained: “So troublesome, even the parallel world erosion isn’t dealt with yet but the confrontation between [Order] and [Chaos] has already begun”
He closed the book and told the Demon Dragon: “Playtime is over, I have something important I need to do now”
The Abyssal Demon Dragon froze briefly, tried his best to contain his emotions, and asked reluctantly: 「 You mean you’re going to discard me, Your Excellency? 」
“Ah, that’s not it at all, I just have a few things that if I don’t do, this entire reality would collapse, so I’ll be back to play some more later—– you just stay by yourself for the time being” the man told him.
「 Understood 」 the Demon Dragon said.
The man nodded at him, then suddenly vanished without a trace.
The Abyssal Demon Dragon stood still for a while with a sorrowful expression on his face.
Only after he was absolutely sure that the other party had truly left——-
「 Ahahahahahaha! 」
The Demon Dragon suddenly laughed out loud, so emotional that he was practically tearing up.
He shouted: 「 Abyss above——- 」
「 I’m finally free!!!! 」
He swiftly moved and vanished into the void of space.
——–it has been so long since a divine revelation has occurred in the Strife Zones, but I can finally return to being served as a God.
…
At another location.
The unending abyss of broken worlds.
The Bramble Tree ship was lightly hovering outside the vortex.
The deck of the ship was full of strange and unheard-of treasures.
Even when Gu Qing Shan’s cooking skills were top-notch, capable of making spirit cooking that would quickly replenish energy without causing the eater to become fat, since Laura had grabbed so many treasures, she was feeling a bit tired.
Just now, Laura had just finished the last diet dish he made and returned into the ship’s cabin to sleep.
Gu Qing Shan had just washed his utensils and continued to make a stir-fry dish.
While looking at Gu Qing Shan seriously making food from the side, Lin helplessly sighed: “I seem to recall that you came here to do something, right?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “That’s right, I have to complete my World Technique”
Lin pointed at his cooking with both hands and asked: “So why are you still cooking?”
Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer.
After the food was done cooking, he put the steaming dishes onto the table and served a full course of spirit cooking.
“Come” Gu Qing Shan called out.
“What for?” Lin doubtfully asked.
“Laura already ate, so it’s our turn for an afternoon meal——– just in time as well, come taste my cooking” Gu Qing Shan told her.
“I remember now, you’re quite a skilled cook, aren’t you?” taking a whiff of the fragrant food, Lin muttered in surprise.
She came up, helped Gu Qing Shan put out some rice before arranging their bowls and eating utensils as well.
The two of them then sat at the table.
“Do you drink?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Very rarely, most of the time, I don’t” Lin answered honestly.
“What kind of alcohol can you drink?”
“Anything is fine, but I prefer the lighter kind”
Gu Qing Shan gave it some thought and offered her a bottle of sparkling wine.
While he still chose strong liquor for himself.
“Cheers”
“Cheers”
The two of them knocked glasses before enjoying their meal.
“Do you have a clue about your matter yet?” Lin asked as she ate.
“Hm, we’re already quite close to the place I’m heading to, I’ll probably be able to sense it soon” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“You need me to come with you?”
“It’s ok, I can go alone, you can stay and protect Laura”
“No danger?”
“Hm, this trip was something a certain senior of mine arranged for me as a kind of aid, there aren’t any danger”
Hearing that, Lin stopped worrying.
Her gaze then turned towards the colorful glowing pile of treasures all over the deck.
To be able to survive the destruction of their own realities, these treasures have more or less proven how strong they were.
And not only could Laura obtain these treasures, but she was also able to use [Blessing of the Empress] to send these treasures directly onto the battlefield and into the hands of those that need them.
Furthermore, she was able to use [Shelter of Infinite Worlds] to thoroughly hide herself away, making it so that no one could find her.
“What a young child with infinite potential” Lin said emotionally.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Who said she isn’t? She’s still young so her abilities haven’t fully matured yet, but once she grows up, she might be able to shock even us with her capabilities”
“Hm, I must say, I didn’t expect your cooking to be quite this decent” Lin continued.
“Thanks for the compliment”
“Here, bottoms up” Lin raised her glass.
“Bottoms up——- why don’t you drink stronger liquor? I personally feel like you can try it out” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lin explained: “I can handle strong liquor, and I don’t hate it. But if I drink, I’ll always drink a lot, which might lead to some unfortunate circumstances”
“Unfortunate circumstances?”
“That’s right, I’ll most likely look for someone strong and force them to fight me, only stopping after a victor is decided”
Gu Qing Shan’s expression froze over, then silently put the bottle of liquor he had taken out onto the chair behind him.
He said with a serious expression: “Now that I think about it, I do think light sparkling wine with lower alcohol content might be more suitable for you, let’s not drink strong liquor. After all, I’ll be leaving soon, so you’ll have to be responsible for protecting both Laura and the ship”
“My thoughts exactly” Lin smirked.
Half-way through their meal.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly put his glass down.
“You’re leaving now?” Lin asked.
“That’s right, the corpse of that parallel world has appeared” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Why don’t I see anything?” Lin looked around and asked.
“Because this parallel world was already completely destroyed, the only thing that remained is the Origin that’s still unwilling to disappear. Unless someone has proof of its recognition, they wouldn’t be able to enter” Gu Qing Shan replied.
A glittering star began to glow in between his eyebrows.
This was the proof of recognition that the Fairy of Time gave him!
“You look a lot like those old Soul Artifacts like this” Lin teased him.
“Hah, I can’t help it, this is the only way I’ll be led inside” Gu Qing Shan helplessly replied.
“Be careful”
“Hm”
As soon as Gu Qing Shan said so, a powerful guidance force had acted on him and took him away from the Bramble Bird ship in a flash.
The only one left on the deck of the ship was Lin.
She stayed silent for a brief moment before lightly swiping the air.
The bottle of strong liquor that Gu Qing Shan had hidden behind his chair flew up and landed on the table.
Lin poured herself a drink, then finished the entire bottle in one breath.
“Scaredy cat…”
She muttered.
