Chapter 1012: Death of Myriad Gods

Translator: La0o9 

The silver light completely enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

He stood still within the light and made no reaction.

“What’s going on?”

Laura anxiously asked.

“What’s going on with that ring of yours?” Ye Fei Li suddenly turned and glared at Xuan Ya.

Xuan Ya shook her head and said something.

Ye Fei Li listened and told everyone: “She said that Gu Qing Shan is receiving a few secrets from the era of the past, he’s fine”

Zhang Ying Hao coldly stared at Xuan Ya and said: “Hmph, why should I believe you? That ring of yours is surely——”

Boss waved his hand, cutting him off mid sentence: “Don’t worry”

Zhang Ying Hao turned to him.

Boss appeared considerably tired, but also sorrowful for no reason.

“It’s fine, he’s just learning about a few things—— if he wants to do anything within this world of Calming Soul Country, this process is necessary”

Boss added: “This is a kind of recognition of status”

“Then—— we can’t do anything right now but wait?”

“We can only wait, and there’s nothing else to do either way”

After saying so, Boss laid back down on the sofa.

Everyone exchanged glances before focusing their gazes on Gu Qing Shan once again.

Gu Qing Shan remained still.

Under the illuminating glow, he was clearly very close to everyone here, but at the same time, he seemed to be unreachably far away.

——-at the moment the ring was activated.

Gu Qing Shan felt himself entering a world of darkness.

It was nothing but thick, stifled darkness around him.

All of a sudden, a dignified voice resounded:

「 On the day that all the stars fall from their place in the sky, the Realm of Myriad Gods shall heed its end 」

The darkness faded.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly noticed countless stars in the sky falling to the ground.

The ground was howling.

For some unknown reason, Gu Qing Shan felt fear.

This fear wasn’t from the countless falling stars, but rather because of an unspeakable dread that came from the ground below.

Although Gu Qing Shan’s eyes weren’t able to observe it, this sensation had been imprinted into his mind, allowing him to sense the bone-deep sense of despair and fear.

The scene in front of his eyes flashed.

Gu Qing Shan found himself standing inside a palace. The palace was quickly flying through the sky as if something was chasing after it.

Countless armored soldiers stood within the palace.

A man who wore a crown sat on top of a throne and questioned those around him: “How many stars are there left in the sky?”

Someone reported: “Your Majesty, it’s all gone, all of them are dead”

“Reporting—-”

A figure came flying from outside the palace and landed in the middle of the hall.

This person was riddled with wounds, breathing heavily: “There are some Deities who are still alive. I just witness the God of Knowledge taking the royal family of Starlight Empire with him through the world barrier towards the space vortex”

“The space vortex!?”

A Combatant spoke in frustration: “How could a Deity have done this, there are countless terrifying monsters in the space vortex, some of which not even the Deities would be able to fight against!”

Another Combatant refuted him: “It is fine, our side still has the Lord of the Eternal Abyss, the Greatest Above the Star Crown. He has purposely given up his human identity to take the form of a monster within the Abyss——– he is the strongest monster of them all!”

Everyone went quiet.

When that person was mentioned, it seemed everyone felt a complicated mood.

A sharp scream abruptly resounded from outside.

It was as though this was the signal.

Death began to spread.

Countless cries and screams of despair from all living beings resounded within this space without stopping.

The crowned man sighed: “It seems that the God of Death was correct. The Realm of Myriad Gods have fallen, it is fortunate that we received the protection of the God of Life”

He lowered his head as he clutched a golden ring in his hand.

A brief moment of silence.

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!

The intense sound of impact reverberated across this entire space.

It went completely dark outside of the palace.

Gu Qing Shan was able to see through the darkness and witnessed the myriads of living beings.

Every type of life form was hurriedly rushing to the sky from below with all they had.

They all had expressions of fear and dread, instinctively making their way towards the sky for the sake of survival.

At this point, the crowned man’s expression changed as he shouted: “There’s no time, we need to move towards the space vortex now!”

He wore the golden ring on his finger.

The golden ring glowed brightly and enveloped the entire palace in a faint golden glow.

Within this glow, the palace seemed to have received some sort of guidance as it abruptly shot forward with a sonic boom, breaking a hole through the sky and vanished from this world.

At the very last split second, Gu Qing Shan looked behind the palace.

The life forms that were fleeing with all their might froze in mid-air.

Unfortunately, they were a bit slower than the palace.

——-so, they were already dead.

Countless corpses of countless shapes and sizes filled the sky, manifesting as a sea of corpses.

Everything went dark.

And another flash.

Gu Qing Shan now found himself once again standing inside that palace.

This time, the palace was situated on top of a series of tall mountains, no longer in a crisis.

He saw the crowned man from earlier again.

The man was sitting high on his throne, bloodied all over, and was near his last breath.

But he was looking down at three armored Combatants below.

“The God of Life has crashed into the void, and I shall soon follow them into eternal slumber”

“You are the most devout followers of our God, and the most loyal guardians under my command”

“Today, you and I shall pledge to the same oath right here”

“Please, in my place, protect Calming Soul Country, and guarantee the continuation of the royal bloodline. In exchange, the royal family shall always protect you and swear to never harm your descendants”

He tossed something in his hand.

Three silver rings flew down and hovered in front of the three Combatants.

“I do not have much time left”

“If you are willing to follow that oath, please wear this ring”

The three Combatants all had serious expressions on their faces.

The three of them reached their hands out to take the rings and wore them at the same time.

The crowned man silently observed his until the end, when he finally displayed a glad smile.

He sat upright on his throne, breathed his final breath, and slowly slumped his head.

The scene vanished.

Gu Qing Shan found himself returned to the small room.

He fell into a long silence.

The two scenes just now contained too much information that he needed time to reorganize himself.

A long while later.

Gu Qing Shan turned to Xuan Ya and asked: “What kind of place is the Realm of Myriad Gods?”

Xuan Ya said something.

Ye Fei Li listened and repeated: “Within the space vortex, it is called the Inner Plane”

“At the moment of the Inner Plane’s destruction, the numerous Deities within the sea of stars fell from their place in the sky. Only seven Deities managed to take their holy countries with them and escape that dreadful Apocalypse”

“However, the space vortex wasn’t safe”

“The seven Deities fought against countless unknown monsters for many years, falling one by one”

“But as the Deities never ceased to fight, the number of monsters within this void greatly decreased”

“Having predicted their outcomes from long ago, they formed a covenant with the four Old Gods of the space vortex——– the Four Pillars of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. They could completely seal their holy countries away, as long as the living beings inside were allowed to thrive and live on”

“While the holy countries originally could not possibly survive within the space vortex, due to this gamble of their Deities, they were allowed to exist”

“Up until a few ten thousand years ago”

“A Card appeared on the royal family’s altar of their God”

“At the moment of this Card’s descent, it gave off an intense power fluctuation that broke through the seal of the Gods”

“This power was felt throughout the space vortex within its vicinity, allowing a terrible monster to follow it and discover Calming Soul Country”

“It was the enemy of the God of Life, an unknown existence within the void that could rival Deities. It was greatly injured within its battle against the Deities by their combined efforts, unable to recover after all that time. When the seven Deities were no longer there and the four Pillar Gods had no leisure to care about anything else, it sneakily appeared, looking for vengeance”

“It followed that Card into Calming Soul Country”

“Meanwhile, due to her lack of power, the entity on the Card was no match against this terrible monster. She had no choice but to give up her Card and escape alone from our world”

“Her Card was taken by that monster, split apart into four portions by a power that we could not understand and bestowed upon the four Demis who betrayed us and surrendered themselves to it, masquerading them as Deities”

“As for the entity on that Card, before she left, she told the royal family that she must come to the 900 million World Layers in order to wait for a certain person to appear”

“Only that person would be able to save her”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan already noticed something.

He tried to maintain his calm and asked: “Did she tell them her name?”

“Yes”

“She said she used to be called Water God. But in order to differentiate herself from the four Pillar Gods, and in order to better hid herself within the 900 million World Layers, she had changed her name”

“She said to call her Darksea”
