Chapter 1489 - Master of the Myriad Deities



Chapter 1489: Master of the Myriad Deities

The secret room.

“I’ve taught Scarlet all about the Star Force power, she’s very talented, so she might even surpass you in the future” Boss commented.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked: “Why didn’t you teach me?”

Boss shook his head: “I can only teach mortals. You’re now the Death God, so when you’ve grown strong to a certain degree, you’ll passively be enlightened on how to utilize the Law of Death, you don’t need me to teach you”

“Then, what kind of power of Death will she create?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Not sure, I already handed her some of the best methods from the Myriad Deities for her to choose on her own” Boss shrugged.

Gu Qing Shan asked with a whisper: “What’s going on with Reneedol?”

Boss took a sip of his tea and remained silent with a complicated expression.

This was the real main topic of tonight.

Seeing how Boss didn’t answer at all, Gu Qing Shan continued: “I’m guessing the soul that’s inside Reneedol right now is the future her”

“Why?” Boss asked.

Gu Qing Shan turned around to observe the mural on the wall and casually replied: “When those elves said that they wanted to take her as a slave, you killed them so quickly that you couldn’t even stand up”

Boss didn’t reply to that and lowered his head with a slightly lonely expression.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at him, then observed for a while before slamming the table: “It’s a good thing that you went back in time as well, otherwise, there’s a lot of things that I wouldn’t even know where to begin investigating from”

Boss then answered: “Ask me anything you want to know; I essentially know every secret there is to know in this era”

Gu Qing Shan said: “Answer me first, why did you suddenly return to this era?”

Boss explained: “Actually, the main reason I came back was because there was an issue with the Temporal Oasis”

“What happened?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Boss then explained what transpired in the world of the Spire.

Gu Qing Shan frowned and said: “An enemy... that you’ve never noticed before, is hiding in this era, attempting to change everything?”

“Indeed” Boss affirmed.

Gu Qing Shan naturally believed Boss’ judgement, but this matter was too big, so he couldn’t help but ask: “What would happen if this entity succeeded?”

Boss replied: “The lives of the majority of people in the future would be directly altered as this entity wished, no one would be able to resist or retaliate”

“Like Fate Corrosion?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Fate Corrosion is more like ‘overwriting’ destiny, most would die from it, but a minority would actually grow stronger, obtaining opportunities unlike before; but this alteration we’re facing would instead be a ‘reset’. If we cannot make it through the current difficulties, there would be no telling whether or not the living beings of the future would still be alive” Boss replied.

“That entity is after the six Sealing Tokens?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Yes, as soon as the six Sealing Tokens came to light, that entity immediately showed traces of themselves——- it seems that the entity wants to compete against me for the right to decide this period of history” Boss answered.

Gu Qing Shan tiredly sighed.

The six Sealing Tokens anchored history firmly in place, ensuring that no one would be able to alter it.

An entity who was able to obscure themselves from the Great Lord of Infinite Origins was now attempting to steal the Sealing Tokens to take the right to decide history.

Who would be able to fight against such an entity?

———Boss and I don’t even know who they might be yet.

Gu Qing Shan rubbed his forehead and asked:

“Do you have any idea who they might be?”

“No idea, but I’m sure it wasn’t the Myriad Deities. They might be powerful, but they weren’t more powerful than I am” Boss answered, a bit puzzled as well.

Gu Qing Shan followed this train of thought and continued: “Could it be an Awaiting?”

“At this point in time, they were still funneling their strength to break through the Reality Gate, so they still haven’t arrived” Boss shook his head.

Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit longer.

He was piecing together every event that had occurred ever since he returned to this era of history.

Initially... there had been no issues.

Even when Reneedol was switched, there were still no big issues.

The true threat came after the Samsara broke apart.

Then perhaps that entity didn’t only want to obtain the six Sealing Tokens, but the Samsara as well?

Gu Qing Shan stood up and started pacing around the secret room.

Was there any hint that could expose that entity’s identity?

——I need something, anything, even a tiny bit is enough.

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought and was lost in his contemplation.

Boss remained silent and observed Gu Qing Shan pacing around, trying not to disturb him.

——when it came to making plans and considerations, Gu Qing Shan was a reliable person.

Gu Qing Shan pondered for over fifteen minutes before he stopped.

The turning point seemed to have been after we entered the Pantheon ruins.

An entity that frightened even Adorable was silently monitoring everything that occurred within the Pantheon ruins.

But everything on the surface had already been completely destroyed by the broken Samsara.

Then——

That entity was inside the Pantheon the entire time?

“Boss, did all the Myriad Deities die? Could there have been a living Deity who remained in the Pantheon this entire time?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“There isn’t, when the Age of Myriad Deities came to an end, all the deities went to the Dusty World, not a single one of them remained” Boss replied.

“Are you sure?” Gu Qing Shan questioned.

“I’m sure” Boss affirmed.

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

—-not one of the Myriad Deities.

Then who could they be?

As Gu Qing Shan continued to think, the fog in his mind was being eliminated bit by bit.

He slowly looked up towards the mural on the wall once again.

On the mural, an armored female Deity was leading many of her believers to fight against a certain enemy.

That enemy had also been erased from the mural.

Gu Qing Shan’s attention was focused on the side opposing the female Deity, on the erased enemy.

Every single mural he had seen so far within the Pantheon ruins had been meticulously scrubbed of the enemy.

Boss followed his gaze and slowly made a solemn expression.

—-that part of the wall was empty.

But the goddess on the mural was clearly swinging her sword towards something while soaked in blood.

“That’s true, if it wasn’t a Deity or an Awaiting, there weren’t many other existences that could have been able to deceive me... it must have been powerful enough to at least oppose the Myriad Deities” Boss muttered.

Gu Qing Shan pointed at the mural on the wall and spoke with a heavy tone: “I’ve carefully examined every mural I came across in the Pantheon. They all depicted and praised the Myriad Deities for triumphing against their enemy, but the enemy had always been missing on the murals, so who or what was it that fought against the Myriad Deities?”

Boss appeared reminiscent, then answered: “The Age of Immemorial was the age of the Law Behemoths; and the period just before the Age of Immemorial was said to be the Age of Myriad Deities——– it was said that the environment during that era was so harsh that mortals could not survive at all, only Deities were able to live”

“And before the Age of Myriad Deities, there was another era”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “It seems that the Myriad Deities ended this previous era, defeating all of their opposition in order to finally establish their own era”

Boss shook his head: “When my powers were at their peak, in order to further advance, I had once tried to investigate information and knowledge of past eras——- and discovered that the Myriad Deities did not actually defeat their enemy”

“Huh?” Gu Qing Shan raised his eyebrows and asked: “The Myriad Deities didn’t win?”

Boss nodded: “Indeed, something seemed to have occurred during that era, something so serious that it caused that era to eventually fall to ruin. The Myriad Deities merely took advantage of that chance to establish their own era”

Boss thought a bit, then added: “The Myriad Deities... seemed to have been the equivalent of servants during that era”

Servants.

——even the Myriad Deities were just servants[1].

The two of them glanced at the empty wall, unable to say anything for a while.

After a bit.

Boss pondered and asked: “Do you think... that the entity of that era had returned?”

Gu Qing Shan slowly nodded: “Who would have been able to hide from you at your peak? Other than an entity that not even the Myriad Deities were able to win against, I can’t really think of anyone else”

Boss heavily sighed and clenched his fist.

A glorious radiance emitted from his hand to illuminate their surroundings.

“With my current power, I’m absolutely no match for them” Boss said.

Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder: “I think there’s no need to worry about it too much for now”

“Why not?” Boss asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’ve already obtained three Sealing Tokens, but the other party still hadn’t shown themselves. Even now, when I’m inside the Pantheon, they still remain hidden, which could only mean one thing”

“What’s that?”

“That entity knows that our power is insignificant then compared to them, they feel that they’ve already grasped victory—— so they will continue to remain in the shadows” Gu Qing Shan explained.

Boss pondered his words and said: “They will need us to guide the way and wait until we’ve found all six Sealing Tokens before they appear and steal the six Sealing Tokens for themselves”

The two of them exchange glances.

Now that they’ve considered things to this degree, this matter was as good as confirmed, but they couldn’t feel delighted about it at all.

——the enemy is too powerful, so much so that even the Myriad Deities were only their servants, so much that not even Boss at his peak was able to discover their existence.

And even if they knew everything, they didn’t have a way to win.

Do we really not have a way to win?

Gu Qing Shan felt unwilling to accept this fact and began to carefully consider everything about this era.

Even when Little Dusk pulled Reneedol with her into the room, he still couldn’t come up with any possible chances of victory.

[1] For anyone who might feel like the power level is increasing too fast, don’t forget that the future Reneedol is much stronger than the Myriad Deities, and Reneedol was actually weaker than Boss at his peak
