Three.

Two.

One.

[Parallel Dream] ended.

The Occultism spirit had just returned to the garden from the void, looking to search carefully for that insect that knew how to cook.

All of a sudden.

An ear-piercing screech resounded by its ear.

—–it was Ye Fei Li’s Soul Flaying screech!

『 Oh no! 』

The Occultism spirit uttered in fright.

It wanted to resist the screech, but as it was caught completely off-guard, it was helpless to do anything at all.

The monster’s soul was paralyzed for a split second.

At this exact moment, without missing a beat, a hand reached out and touched its body.

Someone lightly uttered:

“Wakey wakey”

——-Gu Qing Shan, Lightning Thaumaturgy, [Dreamjolt]!

The monster was completely paralyzed.

It discovered in horror that the trees, the fountain, the gra.s.s, the flowers, everything was fading into nothingness.

The entire garden was disappearing!

Even the s.p.a.ce vortex around it was disappearing!

The headless mermaid found itself returned to the empty void with the vertical pupil s.h.i.+eld raised in its hand.

The vertical pupil opened wide.

What happened?

The people that I killed are somehow still alive!

The vertical pupil was trembling, but unable to move even a single bit.

If possible, it wanted to scream out loud.

That’s impossible!

I clearly devoured the flesh and souls of these people.

How are they still alive!?

They stood carefully around it, watching out for its every movement.

A khopesh abruptly reached outward, touched the s.h.i.+eld, and firmly pulled back——-

“Get over here!”

Ye Fei Li shouted.

The khopesh immediately pulled a light-grey ma.s.s of flesh directly out from the pupil s.h.i.+eld.

Gu Qing Shan kept silent and travailed to stab the Devil King Warden Rod in his hand into the grey ma.s.s of flesh.

[Soul Dispersion] activate!

The Devil King Warden Rod slightly moved and began to give off a series of chewing noises.

The grey ma.s.s of flesh was visibly shrinking.

But no one showed any expressions of joy.

This thing was too eerie.

According to what Gu Qing Shan said, this thing was actually an amalgamation of the dead’s soul and flesh, not the monster’s actual body.

It was merely attaching itself to this thing.

Because of that, most of its enemies a.s.sumed that killing this writhing ma.s.s meant that they had dealt with the monster, not knowing that it was merely using a technique to control this amalgamation of soul and flesh.

The true monster was always hidden away, ready to act.

Usually, this would be the chance for the Occultism spirit to retaliate and turn the tables on its enemies.

But things were different this time around.

Through his two World Techniques, Gu Qing Shan had witnessed all of its battles.

It had no chance.

Gu Qing Shan raised his Six Paths Great Mountain sword———

Secret Art, [Full Moon Slash]

A light blue crescent-shaped sword phantom flashed in the darkness.

Followed by 30 more crescents that connected to one another, forming a full moon.

The full moon perfectly encircled the ma.s.s of fused flesh and soul.

——-sha!

The autumn water clear blue steel sword flashed and vanished.

Something seemed to have been broken in the void of s.p.a.ce.

It was the Occultism spirit’s protective technique!

Against Shannu’s [Law Breaker], its protective technique was completely destroyed!

The ear-piercing screech resounded through the void all around them.

A split second later, a black shadow leapt out from the full moon, lightly streaked away and out from the group’s encirclement.

『 Insect, I will never forgive you! 』

The monster was clearly wounded, its voice filled with grudge and hatred.

Boss shouted: “Don’t let it escape!”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer him.

He glanced through the War G.o.d UI, selected [War G.o.d t.i.tle] to change from the [Shen Wei General] t.i.tle that increased his attack speed to [Starflame War G.o.d]

[Starflame War G.o.d] contained a Mystic-type Causality Skill!

Gu Qing Shan glanced towards the faraway void and focused on the ma.s.s of shadow that was about to move out of his range with his inner sight.

t.i.tle Skill: [Conquer], activate!

A few moments later.

The shadow had made a U-turn and was on its way back.

『 Ahahaha, you destroyed both my host’s flesh and soul? That’s perfect, I’m no longer bound by the G.o.d of Life’s oath, I will kill you right here! 』

The shadow grunted: 『 Die, insect! 』

It shot straight at Gu Qing Shan.

The shadow was extremely fast!

When Gu Qing Shan noticed, it was already right in front of him.

Gu Qing Shan could only mount the bare minimum level of defense at this point.

Defense…

Gu Qing Shan abruptly shouted in fury: “Die!”

In that split second, his viciousness was roused as he completely forewent defense.

He let go of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and drew another sword from the void of s.p.a.ce.

He thrusted the sword forward——–

Secret Art, [Swallow Returns]!

『 No! Why can’t I enter your soul!? 』

With a panicked scream, the shadow tried to retreat.

Struck by the intense impact, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

He glanced through the notifications.

[You’ve received the protection of the Praise of the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation and Praise of the Evernight at the same time, successfully nullifying one of your opponent’s attacks]

[Remaining protection: 2]

[Cooldown time: 3 days]

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.

Although he had prepared himself, traversing on the verge of death like that still caused him an unprecedented level of fright.

He glanced at the other party.

Having been struck by the first attack, as the shadow retreated, it was struck again by the slash manifested by [Swallow Returns] from behind.

Struck by two slashes head-on, the shadow froze completely.

『 That is… impossible… you are only an insect, my food…』

The shadow muttered in desperation and unwillingness to accept reality.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and said: “You were born naturally stronger than any living beings, but your arrogance prevented you from doing a certain thing, which led to your outcome today”

『 What? 』

The shadow questioned.

Gu Qing Shan put the Earth sword and recalled what he saw throughout the shadow’s life before replying: “Having an infinitely long life, you only cared about eating without becoming stronger, that’s the reason you lost”

The shadow fell into silence.

No one had managed to kill it throughout these countless years.

And yet today, it lost its life in such an undignified manner in front of an insect.

It was speechless.

Its body slowly faded away, so it couldn’t say anything even if it wanted to.

It was dead.

Slain by the Earth sword’s Thaumaturgy: [Earth’s Choice].

[Earth Choice: Slay and extinguish all ent.i.ties]

[The stronger the target you wish to slay, the more Soul Points Earth’s Choice will consume]

Gu Qing Shan checked his remaining Soul Points value.

Empty.

The Soul Points he obtained from killing this monster hadn’t appeared.

It seems the War G.o.d UI was trying to confirm something.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and lightly sighed.

—–intense exhaustion had struck him all at once, causing him to sigh.

From the beginning of this battle, he had used [Parallel Dream], acting, [See you once again], [Time Recollection], [Dreamjolt], [War G.o.d t.i.tle: Shen Wei General], [Crescent Slash] upgraded version [Full Moon Slash], the Devil King Warden Rod’s [Soul Dispersion], the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s [Law Breaker], [War G.o.d t.i.tle: Starflame War G.o.d], his armor’s Praises, Secret Art [Swallow Returns], the Earth sword’s [Earth’s Choice] as well as Ye Fei Li’s Soul Flaying and Soul Paralysis. All to kill that monster.

In such a short period of time, he used up all his wits, means, and abilities, only to solidify victory at the very last second.

Even a person like Gu Qing Shan would feel drained after that.

Boss praised him: “If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have ever believed that a mortal would truly be able to slay a Deity”

He put the Star Firefly in his hand away.

Ye Fei Li slowly closed his eyes and stood still.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“My [Chaos] UI is communicating with me, saying that since I partic.i.p.ated in slaying a Deity, I’ll soon receive the power of [Chaos] as a reward”

Saying so, Ye Fei Li’s expression turned full of excitement.

Gu Qing Shan was startled.

He glanced back at the UI in front of his eyes.

Lines of glowing text were quickly scrolling through the War G.o.d UI:

[You’ve conducted a kill that surpa.s.sed your level]

[You killed the legendary Occultism creature: Parasite of Flesh and Soul (larvae form)]

[Although you have the ident.i.ty of a G.o.d, you are still only a mortal]

[You’ve killed the mythical Chaos creature: Gloomy Devourer of G.o.d’s Corpse, so this would be the second time you’ve conducted a kill that surpa.s.sed your level]

[As you’ve accomplished two extremely rare feats of combat, you’ve obtained the following chance:]

[You may have the War G.o.d UI consume your Unique t.i.tle: Enemy of Chaos (primary) in order to obtain the information regarding another Unique t.i.tle]

[Please pay close attention, the other t.i.tle contains the suffix of ‘War G.o.d’]

Gu Qing Shan was feeling a bit tempted.

That last line of text was a clear reminder to him, and Gu Qing Shan wasn’t an idiot so he naturally understood the implications.

He couldn’t help but ask in confirmation: “A t.i.tle on the same level as [Starflame War G.o.d]?”

The system didn’t answer him.

Silence could be understood as tacit confirmation.

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

The t.i.tle Skill of [Starflame War G.o.d], [Conquer] is extremely impressive.

Any enemies targeted by this ability would be forced to attack me through their own justifications.

This was a Mystic-type ability, and also a Causality Skill that no one is immune to.

It was purely due to this Causality Skill that the monster couldn’t escape.

——-if I can obtain the information regarding a t.i.tle on the same level as [Starflame War G.o.d]…

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan didn’t hesitate any longer and replied: “I choose to consume the [Enemy of Chaos] t.i.tle, please give me the intelligence”

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[Your t.i.tle: Enemy of Chaos (primary) has been consumed]

[You will obtain intelligence regarding the following t.i.tle:]

[Void War G.o.d]
