The Progenitor Fiendess stared at the clear blue water all around them, then at the flowing lightning dragon .
『 Indeed, this world’s God’s Punishment was established as Elemental Lightning, so you can borrow the significant magnified power of Lightning Tribulation to eliminate the ghosts 』 she muttered .
“Indeed, that’s why—-” Gu Qing Shan spoke .
『 Not yet 』the Progenitor cut him off, 『 on the ice outer shell, there are still 2 million demonized beings who are around the same level of strength as yourself, how do you intend to deal with them? 』
The Progenitor continued: 『 Although the Tribulation lightning perfectly counters the ghost army, the 2 million demonized all consists of talented youths of various worlds, there are definitely those who came from a cultivation world that have ways to resist the lightning 』
『 You won’t be able to cause too many casualties among them, as they aren’t necessarily afraid of Elemental Lightning like the ghosts 』
Gu Qing Shan replied: “You are correct, which is why the 2 million demonized are part of a different business deal”
『 What business deal? 』
“I will invite Li Yang and her subordinates to help me kill those demonized”
The Progenitor coldly laughed: 『 Hah, in the end, you’re still using Li Yang—— if not for her, you alone would definitely not be able to fight against the demonized 』
“You’re wrong”
『 That is the truth, I can see it clearly 』
“Actually, this isn’t me begging Li Yang to help me”
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and spoke with all his sincerity: “Because of how well our last deal went, after I had paid off my debt to her, I will be inviting Li Yang to cooperate with me in a second, separate deal”
He looked at Empress Li Yang and asked: “I want to know, what kind of treasure does your Tianma tribe consider the most precious?”
『 Treasure? Us Tianma——- 』
As soon as Li Yang was about to respond, the Progenitor stopped her .
『 Brat, why are you asking this? 』the Progenitor cut in .
“Naturally to ask her to join me and deal with the demonized” Gu Qing Shan answered .
『 So you intend to bribe her? 』
Gu Qing Shan laughed it off and patiently explained: “I first need to know what kind of thing you Tianma consider a treasure, after that we’ll go into the specifics, is that ok?”
The Progenitor Fiendess stared at him and stayed silent .
Seeing that, Empress Li Yang followed up: 『 Us Tianma only considers Soul Artifacts to be treasures . Soul Artifacts are manifested from Laws of the soul, allowing us Tianma to control and use together with Soul Points, unleashing the power of the Laws hidden inside them 』

『 Soul Artifacts are extremely rare, they almost never appear in any world . In fact, as long as a living being knows how to use Soul Points, they can use Soul Artifacts 』
『 That’s why Soul Artifacts are also the most precious treasures of the 900 million World Layers 』
『 Whenever a Soul Artifact is found, a rain of blood and war will soon follow, us Tianma would dispatch troops to join in the struggle for the Soul Artifacts as well 』
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “I see, then I have another question, how many Soul Artifacts do you have?”
『 How many? You must be mad, I myself only have a single one 』Empress Li Yang answered .
“How did you obtain it?”
『 When I took over the title of Empress, Mother gave it to me 』
“Did you not try to join in the struggle for another one like you said?”
Li Yang chuckled bitterly and looked to the Progenitor Fiendess .
The Progenitor mockingly explained: 『 A Soul Artifact can only be used with Soul Points, each one of them is so powerful that the first to obtain them can easily become the king of a world . Otherwise why do you think so many worlds go to war with each other? 』
“In other words, Soul Artifacts are in fact extremely rare” Gu Qing Shan mused a bit about this information .
He went silent .
『 Brat, what tricks are you trying to pull now? 』the Progenitor Fiendess pursued .
“It’s not really a trick, but…”
Gu Qing Shan muttered, then turned to Laura .
As Laura’s eyes met with his, she was a bit surprised .
Then she suddenly recalled what Gu Qing Shan told her before .
“I need to ask you, are you willing to do everything in your power to avenge your parents?” he asked .
“I’m willing to do everything in my power”
“Are you willing to pay any price to destroy the [Worlds Apocalypse Online] that’s imprisoned in this world?” he asked again .
“I’m willing to pay any price, even if it’s my own life, as long as Triste doesn’t win!”
Laura slowly understood .
So that’s what he meant .
She grabbed something from the void of space .

A small backpack appeared in her hand .
Laura looked down, searching through her backpack while mumbling: “And I thought it would be some sort of really heavy price, so it’s just a Soul Artifact…”
While saying so, she walked towards Gu Qing Shan .
Ilya and her guards followed close behind .
After a bit of searching, Laura gave something to Gu Qing Shan .
“This is a Soul Artifact” she said .
Gu Qing Shan received it from her to see that it was a spear .
A bronze spear that was little heavy, giving off a faint sense of sharpness and coldness as you held it in your hand .
Gu Qing Shan casually tossed it over to Empress Li Yang .
“Can you take a look and tell me what you think about this?” Gu Qing Shan said .
Empress Li Yang opened her eyes wide, catching the bronze spear while still in disbelief .
『 What are you—— 』she hesitantly asked .
“Just try it” Gu Qing Shan told her .
Empress Li Yang then held the spear in hand, slowly infusing it with Soul Points .
A white glow appeared on the spear, slowly moving into Li Yang’s body .
Li Yang closed her eyes and silently felt it .
『 Hm… so it’s like this… 』she muttered .
A second later, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and moved .
Her body turned into a sharp and cold shadow that moved in a flash .
At the very next moment, she had returned to where she was .
Fast!
Too fast!
If you hadn’t been paying attention to her closely, you’d think it was just an illusion that she disappeared just now .
—boom!
It was now that the sonic boom managed to catch up .

The divine temple under the sea broke and crumbled like it was struck by a meteor .
The Tianma sisters all gasped .
That divine temple was made by the Old Gods, although it didn’t have divinity protection, it had still received their blessing and wasn’t something you could easily destroy .
But Li Yang managed to completely destroy it in the blink of an eye .
『 This is a very decent Soul Artifact 』Li Yang commented .
She was a bit unwilling to part with the spear, but still tossed it back to Gu Qing Shan .
Gu Qing Shan didn’t receive it, instead lightly tapping the tip of the spear .
The bronze spear flew back into Empress Li Yang’s hands .
『 What are you—- 』she hesitantly spoke .
“It’s for you” Gu Qing Shan replied .
Li Yang was shocked .
The other Tianma shouted: “Big sister, accept it quickly, this is an attack-type Soul Artifact!”
The Progenitor Fiendess pursed her lips tight, not giving any comments for now .
『 Why give it to me? 』 Li Yang stared at Gu Qing Shan and softly asked .
“A deposit”
『 ——deposit? 』
“That’s right, I’m inviting you to cooperate once again, help me kill the 2 million demonized, this Soul Artifact will be my deposit”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “Of course, after the work is done, besides this Soul Artifact, you can have all 2 million souls of those demonized people”
The entire place went silent .
2 million demonized souls .
A few Tianma couldn’t help themselves and began to breathe heavily .
My heavens!
An entire world!
An attack-type Soul Artifact!
2 million demonized souls!
This is truly——-
Truly——
Let’s ignore the Tianma’s inner storms for now .
Laura stood on one side, watching the entire process .
She silently pulled on Gu Qing Shan’s sleeve and spoke to him using telepathy .
“Is that really ok?” she asked .
“Of course, to make someone else work for you, you need to pay them—– or are you reluctant to let go of that Soul Artifact?” Gu Qing Shan asked her back .
“Ah, it’s not that, it’s not that, I’m just a bit… a bit…”
“Just tell me, there’s no need to hide anything from me”
“I just checked again and that one seems to be the worst out of all the Soul Artifacts I have . Won’t it be a bit insincere for us to just offer something of that level?”
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
Across from them, Li Yang held the bronze spear and stood there, stunned for a while .
She then suddenly walked in front of the Progenitor Fiendess and knelt down .
『 Mother, I dedicate this Soul Artifact to you 』
Li Yang respectfully said .
The Progenitor Fiendess looked closely at the bronze spear offered to her .
This is a rare attack-type Soul Artifact .
One strike from it was able to destroy the Old God’s divine temple .
And that was just a casual strike by Li Yang .
If it was in my hands, and if I were to unleash the full power of this treasure…
The Progenitor Fiendess sighed .
『 Li Yang, it seems I wasn’t mistaken after all, the title of Tianma Empress really should be in your hands 』
Saying so, she accepted the Soul Artifact .
