Gu Qing Shan face-palmed and was speechless.

That girl is too reckless.

Even s.h.i.+fu would at least consider her moves before going into a fight.

But that girl had nothing but the Blade in her eyes.

In the last moments just now, Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight had covered the entire Black Demon Goat horde and locked onto Ning Yue Chan.

——-he almost activated [Ground Shrink].

Fortunately, he was a second late.

Otherwise, as soon as he appeared, Ning Yue Chan would’ve disappeared and left him alone in the middle of countless angry goats.

Seriously…

Gu Qing Shan sighed, then stopped.

Since Ning Yue Chan had shown her excellence by killing the Black Demon Goat King right away and received the attention of the [Life Order], she was sent directly to the next world.

Which means I’ll have less to worry about for now.

Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan calmed down.

For now, all he had to do was think of a way to become an envoy for the [Life Order].

——–[Life Order] was a unique [Order] created by the Old G.o.ds.

The Old G.o.ds hated the [Orders]

Because every [Order] had endless means to lure and fool mortals.

And the Old G.o.ds cannot watch over every living being that lived in billions of worlds all at once.

This was simply impossible.

But after countless years, the Old G.o.ds came up with a way to go against [Orders].

That was to create their own [Order], using an [Order] to fight an [Order].

The Old G.o.ds had created two [Orders] in total.

One of them was the [Angel Order]

The second was the [Life Order].

Between the two, the [Angel Order] only allowed carriers who were devout believers of the Old G.o.ds.

The [Angel Order] contained many Divine Techniques, Divine Retributions, Divine Skills and Divinity——- believers who are qualified to carry the [Angel Order] would become their Apostles, travel the worlds for the Old G.o.ds and lead living beings on the way that the Old G.o.ds will them too.

The [Life Order] was different.

It was a path of evolution that the Creator G.o.ds created for all living beings based on the countless Laws that make up the concept of ‘Life’.

To carry the [Life Order] meant the same as obtaining a key that allowed rapid evolution.

Their strength would quickly increase, their essence of life would change in leaps and bounds, becoming their perfect forms.

Both of these [Orders] were based within the 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones.

——this was the reason why the Strife Zones was where all living beings strive to reach.

But the Strife Zones themselves were huge warzones, the reason why the Old G.o.ds had placed the two [Orders] here in the first place was to fight against the enemies of their creations.

As its name suggests, this place is filled with danger and strife.

From straight battles to ambushes, small-scale group skirmishes for treasures to large-scale and full-scale wars of faith between systems of beliefs, as well as world-cla.s.s calamities—— any and every danger exists in troves.

The Strife Zones is basically a meat grinder for living beings.

This was the reason why if you aren’t strong to a certain degree, you would not receive the ‘novice qualification’ from the 900 million World Layers alliance.

And from the very first moment they enter this place, the so-called ‘novices’ must do everything they can to find a path to become stronger——- or die trying.

Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the fortress wall and looked down.

The furious horde of Demon goats was still heading straight for the mountain fortress.

As soon as the old Black Demon Goat King died, a new Goat King was born.

Who completely agreed with its predecessor’s will.

Quite a few novices linger at the edge of the horde of goats, trying to catch the horde off-guard and attempt to kill them.

Which was then met with quick and furious retaliation from the horde.

Their bodies were nimble, the horns on their heads weren’t just ridiculously sharp, they could also fire various types of ranged attacks.

Gu Qing Shan saw with his own eyes how a novice was pierced by 10 different spells before being rammed and ripped apart by 7-8 goats at the same time.

This novice became nourishment for the Black Demon Goat, giving them the power of blood.

The Black Demon Goats that killed him became noticeably larger.

Their horns also began to manifest various mystical runes.

——some died trying, some actually succeeded.

A novice managed to kill 30 Black Demon Goat in a row and was about to retreat before suddenly standing still.

“Ahahaha, I’ll be going first!” he loudly laughed in joy.

Then he was swiftly taken by a flash of light and disappeared without a trace.

This caused even more novices to become desperate.

Everyone had leapt off the fortress walls to fight the Black Demon Goat as they slowly backed off.

The benefit of this was that they could easily retreat into the safety of the fortress while being able to take advantage of and kill one or two Black Demon Goats along the way.

The battle instantly went into its most intense phase.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t partic.i.p.ate at all.

He glanced around.

There was no one else on the fortress wall.

Retreating behind a firm fortification, Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a formation plate to arrange several formations.

After going through several dozen defensive formations, he lastly arranged a sound-proof formation.

“You can come out now”

Gu Qing Shan said.

Behind him, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword slowly appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce.

The sword turned into Shannu who landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.

“Gongzi” Shannu greeted him.

“Hm, before when Lady Darksea was going through the novice qualification process, did you see what happened?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Gongzi, is this important?” Shannu carefully asked.

“Very much so, I want to know exactly what happened at the time” Gu Qing Shan sternly answered.

“I understand” Shannu nodded.

“Gongzi, I was sure that at the time, she did not use any spells on you, but I was not able to see her appearance or what she did to you”

“How is that possible? Can’t you sever all Laws?” Gu Qing Shan was unwilling to accept that answer.

“I can indeed to that, but the other party did not use any spells or magic on you at all, so I had nothing that I could cut”

“There were also no signs of magic that affected s.p.a.ce where I was”

“So I really don’t know exactly what she did”

“But within that ocean of darkness, I could not see that lady’s appearance, so I a.s.sume that she was not in the same s.p.a.ce-time as we were”

“Not in the same s.p.a.ce-time?”

“Yes, unfortunately, she did not synchronize this state with you, otherwise I would have been immune to her magic and see her appearance” Shannu regretfully told him.

Gu Qing Shan felt shaken to hear that.

If what Shannu said was true, then this woman who was in a different s.p.a.ce-time was able to put all novices into a trance, test and tell their strength within an extremely short amount of time.

Just how much power do you need to do such a thing!

Gu Qing Shan sighed and continued to ask: “Did she say anything?”

“She seemed to have said quite a bit, but I could only faintly hear what she said when she was the most emotional”

“What did she say?”

“She seemed to have been desperately hoping that you will become stronger a bit faster”

“Become stronger a bit faster…”

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

If she hoped that I would become stronger, that should mean she doesn’t hold any ill will.

Then why did she give me the ‘Returnee’ status?

There’s no such thing as an action without a reason, so of course, the other party must’ve meant something by it, and the status of ‘Returnee’ must have some sort of use.

If I a.s.sume that she had goodwill, this status would probably give me some sort of convenience, or even benefit.

So what would that be?

After thinking for a brief moment, Gu Qing Shan stopped.

“Become stronger…”

He muttered, left the fortification, and headed down the steep cliff.

With the intense attack of the Black Demon Goats, more and more novices were disappearing.

A few of them were killed and turned into the power of blood for the Black Demon Goat horde.

Others had shown themselves to be excellent enough to catch the [Life Order]’s attention and were transported to the next world.

There weren’t many novices left at the foot of the mountain.

They began to hurriedly retreat upwards.

At the same time, the Black Demon Goat horde began to climb.

Gu Qing Shan stood in the wind, silently looking down at the moving horde of goats.

——-she hoped that I would become stronger.

Right, if I’m not strong enough, would I even be qualified to question her actions?

Even if I find out one secret or another, how would I even protect those secrets?

To be frank, within the Apocalyptic destruction of countless worlds, being weak is the original sin of all living beings.

Only the most powerful lifeforms will obtain more freedom, find out more about the secret behind the worlds’ destruction, and decipher the true cause behind the symptoms.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and stopped thinking more about it.

I’m already here at the Strife Zones.

The path forward is right under my feet.

He stared at the quickly approaching horde of Black Demon Goats and reached his hand out to the void of s.p.a.ce.

A bow was taken into his hand.

The Night Rain.

At the same time, a full quiver of arrows appeared on his back.

He raised the bow and glanced at the horde of Black Demon Goats.

Without the string of the bow even moving, two blurred shadows had already whizzed through the wind and into the horde of Demon goats.

The Chao Yin sword.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

My path to power starts now!
