Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9
With the sound of the gunshot, Gu Qing Shan suddenly turned his head .
The silver metal soldier had just become solid again from a concealed state .
An intense light flashed across the void of space for a split second .
The Lord of Desolation’s head vanished, leaving only his body behind .
His gigantic body collapsed .
The rampaging 7-colored spear also dropped to the ground .
All of the Desolate monsters stopped moving .
Their king died so suddenly that they had no idea what to do .
Of course, the metal insects didn’t care what the Desolate monsters thought, they simply leapt forward to try and devour the Lord of Desolation’s body .
All of a sudden, the 7-colored spear jumped up from the ground and floated in mid-air .
Countless amounts of spear images were shot from the 7-colored spear, eliminating everything around it .
Both the Desolate monsters and the mutating metal insects were unable to resist the overwhelming power of the spear .
The spear began to attack without regard for friend or foe, displaying even greater power than when the Lord of Desolation wielded it .
And then something unbelievable happened .
The Lord of Desolation’s dead body suddenly started to stand up again .
———-even without a head, the body could still move .
The headless body stood up and quickly headed towards the floating 7-colored spear .
Over 10,000 miles away, Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows twitched .
Staring at this eerie sight, Gu Qing Shan felt an indescribable emotion .
A sense of dread, a chill so bad it caused him to feel hard to breathe suddenly appeared and put pressure on his mind .
Gu Qing Shan felt that he was already standing at the verge of life and death, constantly lingering at the edge of a bottomless pit of despair .
No, this is fear towards a fate even worse than death!
This feeling was so similar that Gu Qing Shan immediately recalled something that happened before .
The monster that almost manifested inside the Huang Quan realm .
The monster that defeated the entire Spire Keeper Association .
On the screen, the headless body walked up to the 7-colored spear, reaching its hands out to grab it .
Gu Qing Shan’s pupils contracted, gave up on thinking any further, and shouted: “Don’t let it grab that spear!”
[Understood!] the black metal soldier answered .
All the metal insects on the battlefield pooled together like a tsunami to stop the Lord of Desolation .
———-no, not the Lord of Desolation, but his headless body .
The metal insects crashed into it, trying to devour its corpse, but the corpse was completely unharmed, the insects couldn’t do anything to it .
The corpse was being pushed by the huge swarm of insects, but it maintained its balance, stepping closer and closer to the 7-colored spear .
It was about to grab the spear!

“Take aim—-” Gu Qing Shan ordered .
A dull sound of gunshot resonated in his ears .
A hole about the size of a knuckle appeared on the Lord of Desolation’s body .
After consecutive gunshots, the body was struck so much it became frozen in place, unable to move towards the 7-colored spear any more .
Gu Qing Shan relaxed and exhaled in relief .
But the situation suddenly changed——-
The floating 7-colored spear suddenly trembled and flew into the headless body’s hands by itself .
The headless body wielded the 7-colored spear and raised it high .
As soon as it caught the spear, an intense waterfall of light descended from above .
The boundless swarm of insects shrieked and quickly scattered, unwilling to approach that blinding brilliance .
An unspeakable change was taking place .
“System, tell me, what is that thing?” Gu Qing Shan loudly asked .
But the War God System simply remained silent without answering .
Apparently it was silently observing .
Time quickly, but gradually passed .
The sky-high waterfall of light faded away .
A cruel female voice resounded across the battlefield, coming from inside the Lord of Desolation’s body .

『 Soul cattle that the Divinities shepherd, you are wonderful existences that should not have had anything to do with the hateful [Orders] 』
Following that, a male voice came from the Lord of Desolation’s body:
「 Humans! Pitiful creatures that long for life, know your place as mere conduits of souls! 」
A sorrowful yet shrill sense of chill began to exude from the headless body .
The male and female voices both chanted at once: 『「 Souls! Present your souls to me! Aaa———– 』」
Within the grating squeal, huge numbers of metal insects were falling like rain .
Tiny, faint sprites of light came out of the insects’ bodies and headed for the headless body .
The male and female voices both resounded .
The Desolate monsters also collapsed one by one, their souls escaping their bodies and flew into the headless body .
Both sides of the war, the human and Desolate side were both experiencing heavy casualties .
The moans of countless souls resounded across the battlefield .
This was a sharp, pitiful, and painful sound that caused anyone that heard it to feel the endless and ongoing suffering .
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan finally realized .
That wasn’t the Lord of Desolation .
It turns out the eerie ‘God’ of God Institute had existed since the Age of Old .
It pretended to be the Lord of Desolation——- or perhaps, it was hiding inside the Lord of Desolation’s body, controlling him to restrain both humanity and the Divinities!
The War God System suddenly spoke: [The worst-case scenario still happened, Gu Qing Shan, quickly, escape!]

Its tone became hurried: [Water God, you must devolve yourself—— return to your previous state as a war system and turn into a card so I can take you with me . Otherwise, you will die here]
[Understood] Water God’s voice came .
“Where are we going?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
[Escape from here as soon as possible and return to the Strife Zones!] the War God System replied .
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “No, Water God, take us to the other subsystem world”
[You are crazy! That is too close, it can pursue you at any time . If you die at its hands, you will not be able to redo this] the War God System responded .
“We have to go there” Gu Qing Shan spoke quickly: “I’m betting on the fact that Xie Gu Hong and the other two are still safe . None of them was a match for this monster, yet according to history, Xie Gu Hong still managed to return safely”
He shouted: “Don’t you get it!? This meant that something must’ve happened to them, something that we don’t know about, something that might be related to the Heaven sword!”
The War God System: [However——-]
Gu Qing Shan cut it off: “Trust me, I guarantee you I won’t die in this world”
[…Fine, Water God, leave these two soldiers here to buy more time, we will go to the cultivation-type world first!] the System spoke .
Water God replied: [Understood, we’re going!]
She turned into a card and fell into Gu Qing Shan’s hand .
Layers upon layers of light descended and enveloped Gu Qing Shan .
Gu Qing Shan turned into a flash of light and vanished from this secondary defense subsystem world .
The two soldiers were still attacking with all they had on top of the metal mountain .
They were responsible for holding off this monster and buying time for Gu Qing Shan .
