Chapter 1810 - Sneaking in!
The Bai Hua sect’s main palace hall.
Gu Qing Shan was still conversing with the Book of the Sea.
[To an existence like the Samsara, it’s almost impossible to hide anything from it] the Book of the Sea explained.
!!
“But you are the Saint Pillar Artifact of Water, so surely you have a solution, right?” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Book of the Sea snorted, then casually said: [Of course I do, there just happens to be a one-in-a-thousand-year opportunity right now——-]
“What kind of opportunity is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Originally, back in the world within the Reality Gate, the single best decision you made was to fuse the Twin Rivers of Life and Death into the Samsara] the Book of the Sea explained.
“What’s the significance of that?”
[Since the Samsara accepted the Twin Rivers of Life and Death, it’s evident that it wants to become even more powerful——- so it is currently assimilating the entire existence and concept of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death]
“You mean..”
[Correct, while you have lost your identities within the Samsara, you are still the Death God of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death, being connected to the Twin Rivers of Life and Death in numerous ways, and that is your opportunity]
“What exactly should I do?” Gu Qing Shan pursued the question.
[—–Simply disguise yourself as a living being of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death and get passively accepted by the Samsara, that’s it] the Book of the Sea replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
“That’s it?” he couldn’t help but ask.
[That’s it?] the Book of the Sea scoffed: [Do you think that any random person could become the Death God of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death? Not to mention, your identity alone isn’t going to be enough, you’ll need the support from the Saint Realm’s bigshot as well]
“Why so?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[The Twin Rivers of Life and Death was also known as the Wheel of the Saint Realm—— that bigshot from the Saint Realm has the ability to deceive, capable of manifesting a living being out of thin air within the Twin Rivers of Life and Death without alerting the Samsara] the Book of the Sea explained.
It continued: [Now the most crucial problem is whether or not the Saint Realm bigshot is willing to act on your behalf, as long as it’s willing to, this entire matter can be considered done]
Gu Qing Shan sighed: “I understand”
——one must be one of the three Primary Deities of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death.
——furthermore, one must also have connections with the Saint Realm so that the Overlooker of Myriad Realms is willing to act.
With that in mind, there is basically no single other person who could fulfill both of these conditions.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and thought to himself for a few moments.
He was mulling over his thoughts once again, affirming what he needed to do.
Previously, I did awaken the Overlooker of Myriad Realms, but it couldn’t interfere with my battles at all.
——within the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, one cannot violate the Samsara’s rules, that was the single line that the Samsara had drawn.
But now.
This restriction is already gone.
Gu Qing Shan stood up from the Throne of Myriad Flowers and slowly made his way down.
A crimson glow gradually appeared around his body like crashing tidal waves.
A line of bloody red text appeared in front of his vision:
[You’ve mobilized all of the Prayers left on your body to conduct this summoning ritual]
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and raised his hand into the sky, calling out loud:
“Devil of True Antiquity, Overlooker of Myriad Realms”
“I hereby call for you to descend——”
In an instant, the palace hall vanished as everything receded away into the distance.
Bloody fog started to manifest around Gu Qing Shan’s body out of nowhere, which then condensed into a gigantic bloody pillar that connected heaven and earth.
The blood color gradually grew increasingly darker, and as a platform appeared beneath his feet, the sound of spirits urging and cheering could be heard from the void of space.
“Come to me, I need your help..”
Gu Qing Shan softly chanted while placing his hand on the gigantic pillar.
In an instant, a bloody shadow appeared over the gigantic pillar.
This bloody shadow was indescribably huge, its form continuously changing and shifting while on top of the gigantic pillar, transforming into ferocious giant creatures that Gu Qing Shan had never witnessed before.
「 You’ve left the Samsara.. 」
The shadow observed Gu Qing Shan and muttered in a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan admitted that fact: “That’s right, now I need to return to the Twin Rivers of Life and Death and sneak back into the Samsara through it. I might be discovered by the Samsara during this process, and you’re the only one who can help obscure my identity”
「 Obscure.. your identity.. so you don’t want to participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy anymore? 」the bloody shadow questioned.
“I don’t want to participate anymore, instead, I want to ruin it” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The bloody shadow continued to shift endlessly while chuckling in a low tone.
It seemed to be quite delighted.
「 Ruin it.. I’ve never heard of such a thought before.. since you’re not participating in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy anymore, I actually feel a bit intrigued now 」the bloody shadow commented.
Gu Qing Shan realized something and asked right away: “What do you need?”
「 Something.. to eat 」the bloody shadow replied.
“..” Gu Qing Shan.
This bigshot is also really strange, not asking for anything except food to eat.
Seriously, how barren is the Saint Realm exactly?
These thoughts only flashed through Gu Qing Shan’s mind for a split second before they vanished.
This wasn’t the time to be thinking about these things, but rather to convince this bigshot to help me infiltrate the Samsara.
“That’s perfectly fine, if you see something you want to eat, just give me a heads up, I’ll even take care of the preparations and seasoning” Gu Qing Shan said.
The bloody shadow continued to shift again and again without saying a single word.
But three figures gradually manifested in the air before becoming clear in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision.
historical
「 Make your choice, any of these three identities will be able to deceive the Samsara 」
「 Once you choose one of these identities, you will become the living being that corresponds to them and appear in an appropriate location 」
The Overlooker of Myriad Realms’ voice echoed in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.
“Thank you!”
Gu Qing Shan gave his gratitude, then began to seriously evaluate the three shadows.
The first was a young girl who radiated the essence of youth, several words written in common human language were floating next to her:
[A Chosen Saint who originated from the River of Life, a talented spell user and a beautiful young girl, Anya]
[If you choose her, you will become her and appear within the Human realm to continue your participation within the Samsara Clash for Supremacy]
A female identity?
Gu Qing Shan instinctively shook his head.
If I had chosen the [Goddess Transformation] power all those years ago..
He immediately stopped his line of thought and continued to his next choice.
The second figure was a middle-aged man with considerable presence.
There were some descriptive texts next to the middle-aged man as well:
[A heroic spirit Card from the Heroic Spirit Hall of the Blood Sea, wielder of the authority capable of breaking all supernatural powers, the great and magnificent male heroic spirit, Yan Huo1]
[Attention, the Blood Sea is a place of interest for the Samsara, so once you decide to choose this identity, you will immediately establish a connection with the Samsara]
Gu Qing Shan glanced over the description.
—–this man is too handsome, if I turn into him, wouldn’t I draw attention wherever I go?
Furthermore, I’m supposed to be sneaking in, so there’s no need to be so flashy.
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to take a look at the final figure.
The final figure was also a middle-aged man.
[A necromancer hibernating within the River of Death, name unknown, an expert in summoning rituals and combat using cold weapons]
[Once you choose this identity, you will appear at the location where the River of Death and the Forgetting River meets. You will emerge from the River of Death and establish communication with the beings of Huang Quan]
[——By the way, this is currently also one of the main missions for the Chosen Saints of Huang Quan]
After skimming through, Gu Qing Shan understood right away.
So that’s why.
Not only are the Chosen Saints of Huang Quan busy with protecting the Divine Artifacts, but they must also continuously receive the countless dead beings within the River of Death. Of course they’d be so busy enough to not have the time to participate in the battle in the Human realm.
This is a great identity!
I just happened to want to head into Huang Quan to take a look and retrieve all of my weapons and treasures!
I probably don’t have to worry about Shifu for now, so I can work my way up from a different end of the rope to meet up with her later on.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan happily said: “I choose the River of Death’s identity”
「 Are you sure? 」the bloody shadow spoke in a booming voice.
“I’m sure” Gu Qing Shan affirmed.
「 Very well, there are many things to eat within Huang Quan, you can head into Huang Quan 」the bloody shadow replied.
Instantly, the other two figures vanished.
The necromancer’s figure then descended and overlapped with Gu Qing Shan.
Right away, a few lines of bloody red text appeared:
[You’ve become a necromancer]
[Your appearance as well as identity has been obscured, you will soon be heading into the Huang Quan realm of the Samsara]
[Teleportation will begin in five seconds!]
[5]
[4]
[3]
[2]
[1]
Heaven and earth spun.
Gu Qing Shan felt everything around him vanishing.
And then..
He found himself submerged within a silent and cold flow of water.
The rushing water enveloped his body, making him float to the surface while also continuously floating towards a certain direction.
The surrounding air was damp, gloomy, and carried with it a scent of death.
There is no mistake.
This feeling is definitely Huang Quan.
It’s truly been a long time since I saw this place again.
While he was feeling emotional, Gu Qing Shan felt himself crashing into something sturdy, then became stuck there without flowing down the river any longer.
He must have reached shore.
A few voices resounded into his ear:
『 Look, another dead person from the River of Death 』
『 Let’s go wake him up 』
