At this point, notifications were popping up on the War God UI .
Gu Qing Shan took a look at them .
A few glowing letters appeared on top of everything .
[Golden Core/Rejuvenation double realm Thaumaturgy Quest completed]
[You’ve completed 7 missions, gaining 7 chances at picking a random Thaumaturgy]
[You’ve successfully survived (temporarily) . You’ve received Divine Skill: Shadow Shift]
After he read through them, the text slowly faded away .
A new notification appeared .
[Destiny Quest: Decisive battle (2)]
[Quest description: As the fate of the world and the people intertwine, within the brewing storm, you’ve been accepted by the Earth Sword, changing details within the flow of destiny]
[Quest objective: In the near future, make sure that Shen Wu world will at least stay intact]
[Quest completed]
Once again, the text faded away after Gu Qing Shan read them .
Another line of text appeared .
[You’ve completed the Destiny Quest: Decisive battle (2)]
[Congratulations, you’ve fully earned the use of War God Title, in the battles from now on, you will be able to keep using War God Title]
[You’ve managed to keep Shen Wu world intact and killed the one behind it all]
[You went above and beyond the Quest objective]
[Additional reward granted]
[Additional reward: Once you return to Reality, you can come back at any time you wish, the time limit no longer applies]
[The user can now return to Reality]
Then a red notification appeared:
[Unique Quest triggered]
[Unique Quest: Wu San must die]
[Quest description: Attention user, in the completely new and foreign world to come, there remains one last person who knows about Shen Wu world and the cultivation world]
[Once you’ve killed this person, there would be no one else who knows of the two world’s existence]
[This is directly related to the fate of the two worlds, extreme caution is advised]
[Quest objective: Before the secret gets found out by anyone else, permanently silence the one who knows about this]
[Quest reward: The user may choose one other Quest and instantly complete it]
Looking through the Quest details, Gu Qing Shan nodded .
This was a crucial detail that he had kept in mind .
During the time when he investigated the enemy’s camp, he killed two of the scouting cultivators .

He used soul reading on one of them and managed to find out that the Zishan young master had another close aide .
This close aide knows about everything, however he didn’t come to Shen Wu world .
And that person is called Wu San .
Everyone else who knows about the worlds have already been killed by the Tianma .
The Zishan young master was already trapped in the Tianma’s world; he’ll die sooner or later .
Which means the only person left who knows of this is Wu San .
If the Zishan young master is absent for too long, his father might ask about this .
As his close aide, Wu San will definitely be thoroughly interrogated .
At that time, it won’t be possible to hide Shen Wu world and the cultivation world anymore .
If the Zishan young master’s father manages to break through, he’ll become a Cryptic realm cultivator .
He will be one of the most powerful beings in the other world .
And if the Zishan young master’s father were to act, both worlds will have no way to resist at all .
Gu Qing Shan sighed .
Who would’ve thought the situation would become this complicated .
Luckily, Shifu managed to survive .
Which means everything was worth it .
He glanced at the space vortex around, then at the two women next to him .
In front of them, a shining gate appeared .
From the gate, excess spirit energy was drifting out following the wind .
Such immense spirit energy almost carries its own sentience .
Gu Qing Shan only needed to breathe in twice to feel completely refreshed .
“Truly, a paradise…”
He muttered .
Unfortunately, even such a world was reaching its end .
The Demon God is destroying everything .
Seems like he’ll have to find a chance to see just what exactly that terrifying Demon God is .
But first, let’s think of how to survive .

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, the two women next two him were already panicking .
“We’re almost there, it seems there isn’t time for you to disguise as him” Nan Gong Qing Rou spoke in a low voice .
“Not good, we’ll have to risk our lives now, you just find a way to escape” Yun Wan Er also said .
“Yes, you have such a powerful Divine Skill like Shadow Shift, you can definitely escape” Nan Gong Qing Rou added .
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the two of them .
At such a moment, they were still thinking of using their lives to repay their debts .
Having been through so much suffering, yet these girls still manage to preserve their original mindset, truly worthy of respect .
Such people are the most trustworthy companions he could ask for .
Alright…
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Return”
Time was frozen in this very moment .
A flash of light appeared .
Gu Qing Shan escaped from the current flow of time, pushed into another space-time by a different force .
It was raining .
A cold, chilling rain .
A rain that was occasionally mixed with fragments of ice were pouring down in the darkness of the night .
It was morning when he left, but it was already night when he returned .
For each day he spends in the cultivation world, one hour would pass in Reality .
Standing in the cold rain, Gu Qing Shan caught the rain water with his hand .
A cold, bone-chilling rain .
Before the demons attacked, the entire world would always rain .
This was a unique characteristic of the Apocalypse .
The previous time it stopped raining, the Game of Eternal descended on this world .
Then what about this time?
Gu Qing Shan looked up at the night sky .
The rain was still pouring down, seems like it won’t be stopping any time soon .

That’s fine as well, before the rain stopped, before the demons arrived again, I have to do everything that I need to do .
The Holo-Brain in his breast pocket shined .
[Good evening, sir]
[The current temperature is -3 degrees C, Northwest winds at level 5]
[The storm and cold rain will be detrimental to your health, please be advised to avoid the rain]
Impartial Goddess very considerately reminded him .
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I know, where are they?”
Impartial Goddess responded: [Mr . Zhang Ying Hao is currently arranging an assassination against the Holy Church . Mr . Liao Xing brought Mr . Ye Fei Li to the Capital’s Rainbow bar for a drink]
“A drink huh?”
Gu Qing Shan smiled, about to head to the mountaintop mansion .
Suddenly, Impartial Goddess continued: [During the time of your absence, I received a signal from the Blazing Angel]
“What signal?”
[The emergency signal that you programmed in case of abnormal situations]
Gu Qing Shan’s mind instantly became blank .
Su Xue Er .
Did something happen to her?
“Tell me everything, now” Gu Qing Shan ordered .
A bright light flew from the sky, landing right in front of Gu Qing Shan .
The Blazing Angel Mobile Mech .
The Blazing Angel reported: [Sir, Su Xue Er was headed to the North Pole, then her signal got cut off]
“Do you know where?”
[The signal disappeared at a certain point at the North Pole]
“We’re going!”
The Mech’s cockpit opened and Gu Qing Shan quickly jumped inside .
The Mech then closed up as the two wings of light suddenly spread outward .
The Blazing Angel Mech shot straight up, broke through the sound barrier with a ‘bang’ and headed North .
In the sky .
The further North they went, the colder it got .
The hurricane-force wind was hissing, screaming, the falling snow was so thick it was almost pure white outside .
Not afraid of the snow or wind, the Blazing Angel kept flying forward at its maximum speed .
Impartial Goddess’s voice came: [Sir, there is an unexpected interference around the perimeter of the North Pole, the Blazing Angel cannot get any closer]
“Open the hatch” Gu Qing Shan ordered .
[Sir, it’s freezing cold outside, and we’re over 10,000 meters off the ground]
“It’s fine, just open the hatch”
The Blazing Angel’s cockpit opened .
Gu Qing Shan jumped out, hovering among the screaming rain of snow .
Spirit energy flowed around his body, isolating it from the chilling snow and ice outside .
“Return to the nearest orbital station, I’ll go the rest of the way by myself” Gu Qing Shan ordered the Blazing Angel .
[Understood, sir]
The Blazing Angel turned into a streak of light, headed for orbit .
Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out his personal airship .
Controlling the airship, he kept moving towards the North Pole .
“Why would she come to this kind of place?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
[Lady Su Xue Er had become the Lord of the Su family, so she came to the North Pole to perform the 9 Lords’ Rite of Inheritance]
“She’s a Lord now?” Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, “if it’s as you said, then this is something that every Lord has to go through?”
[That is correct] Impartial Goddess replied .
Gu Qing Shan sighed briefly from relief .
Although this is some sort of ancient rite of inheritance, the fact is that they still lost contact with Su Xue Er .
“Help me check for a bit, has any Lord ran into any problems during the history of the rite of inheritance?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
[The procedure to check information of the Lords is quite complicated, it will take a while] Impartial Goddess responded .
“No matter, just check it, I want to know”
After waiting for a bit, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit impatient .
Thinking about it, he decided he should just go ahead and see the situation first .
The airship then turned into a streak of light, dashing through the rain of snow and headed for the North Pole .
