Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt tense.

Because he had just recalled something.

The Living Being Sacrificial Dance seemed to be related to the Dusty World.

If this Sacrificial Dance is related to the Dusty World, then wouldnt I also be a member of Pantheon?

I need to get this straight!

After thinking for a second, he resolutely asked: Did the Myriad Deities of the Pantheon the ones who created the Dusty World?

No, you shouldnt attempt to pry too deeply into the Dusty World, that would only cause you to become intertwined with the Dusty World, which can both be a blessing and a curse. Even I wouldnt be able to save you from that the giant corpse tried to dissuade him.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

After the seven strikes of offering to the past worlds, I once asked the hoarse female voice about the Dusty World and the Twine of Cloud Atlas.

What did she say at the time?

This twine of good luck is the key to making it past the layer of clouds. Keep in mind, you can only bring one additional individual with you at most on your trip, which is also the original owner of this twine

-Ive gotten intertwined with it a long time ago, how could I not try to investigate it?

At the time, after I completed the World Offering Dance and defeated the Soul Shrieker, the hoarse female voice told me to diligently practice the Dance for it to advance, but Ive been so busy that I havent practiced it at all.

There isnt much time, and having to explain it is too much trouble, so

Can you help me take a look at this dance?

After saying that, Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath.

He puffed out his chest, levelled his head, shook his buttocks and leg, then lightly swung his hips.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:

[The fourth practice dance session has been initiated]

[3]

[2]

[1]

[Go]

A second of silence.

Ding ding ding ding ding-

A series of cymbal hits.

Followed by loud rhythmic drumming!

Boom boom chak boom boom chak

Pishew~ Pishew~

Pishew~ Pishew~

Ding kaling ding kaling-

Various noises rang out noisily!

Another notification popped up on the War God UI:

[Attention! Attention!]

[Because you havent practiced dancing in a long time, your rhythm had been completely messed up]

[You must diligently practice for a long while in order to regain your dancing foundations]

Dancing foundations

If life hadnt been forcing by hands, I wouldnt even need this dance!

Gu Qing Shan couldnt help but sigh.

However, even his background music was messed up right now, so there was a really serious problem.

Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to stop his dance posture.

All the noises then disappear.

A new notification appeared on the War God UI:

[Youve stopped his practice session]

Gu Qing Shan lightly sighed, then looked at the giant corpse.

Giant corpse:

Gu Qing Shan:

Giant corpse:

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and continued: Thats not the only one, I also have this

He raised his hand.

A small purple twine was still tied on his wrist

The giant corpse sighed and spoke in a low voice: Occult artifact, Twine of Cloud Atlas. If thats the case, you are the one who will awaken the Dusty World of the ancient past

This length of twine seems to be for leading the way Gu Qing Shan replied.

Indeed, if youve received it then simply follow it, because you no longer have a way of turning back. I wont be able to tell you too much either, that would only cause unnecessary trouble the giant corpse explained.

His voice was unprecedentedly cautious.

Gu Qing Shan asked: Then the Pantheon-

Dont worry, the item on your wrist has nothing to do with the Pantheon the giant corpse resolutely confirmed.

Then, what about my dance? Gu Qing Shan asked.

The giant corpse stayed silent for a few moments and replied: Dont ask about that, I can only seize the time to tell you something else more urgent

That is? Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Era of Apocalypses is about to arrive, so the dead Deities within the Pantheon would definitely not have the courage to appear in the world of the living at this point in time the giant corpse explained.

But they still did Gu Qing Shan followed up.

Which means that something must have appeared during this Apocalypse that was enough to attract them, forcing them to have no other choice but risk their lives and descend on this world the giant corpse replied.

At this point, the world around them seemed to have slightly darkened.

Rays of deep blue light slowly appeared on top of the bronze pillar while slowly converging towards it.

The all-destroying light illuminated the entire world.

Do not attempt to investigate matters of the Occult

Go, Gu Qing Shan, your number one priority at this moment is to find the real reason why the Myriad Deities had descended once again

If you are able to achieve this, you might come closer to the truth and allow this obscured period of history to become firmer

As soon as he finished.

An intense pulling force appeared on Gu Qing Shans body and yanked him away from this barren world.

Boom!

Lightning descended.

The giant corpse was enveloped in the intense lightning, completely speechless.

In the forest.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared from the void of space, landing in front of everyone.

Atley said admiringly: How impressive, I wonder when Id be able to achieve that

Gu Qing Shan looked at everyone, only to see that they were all looking at him, including Shroud.

Finally, we have someone else who could also enter the World of Laws Scarlet looked at Gu Qing Shan with glittering eyes.

Did you see any Law Behemoth? Shroud asked.

I didnt, I only made a trip there, so I think Ill have to try again Gu Qing Shan replied.

Then try again Reneedol urged him.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: Why are you even more worried about this than I am?

Reneedol smiled.

Rhode seems to be a bit sensitive

She replied: When I went out earlier, I heard a lot of disadvantageous news for our World Valley

What kind of news? Atley asked.

They want to eliminate every last person who managed to escape the World Valleys destruction Reneedol replied.

But why!? Epta couldnt help but exclaim.

I dont know, but its a fact that we need to improve our strength Reneedol replied.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at her.

Indeed, in about half a day, the Overlord of Radiance will be surrounded and die at the hands of the other Law Behemoths, Shroud will also lose all of his powers.

Only the Overlord of Death would not participate in this.

Which means, the only person they would be able to rely on was Rhode!

I need to quickly form a covenant with the Overlord of Death, otherwise, when we run into the people of other domains, I wouldnt be able to use Red Wraiths swordsmanship to kill the enemies.

That would expose me right away.

Gu Qing Shan moved around a bit, then attempted to contact the World of Laws again.

Everyone didnt want to disturb him so they cautiously stood around.

A few moments later, Gu Qing Shan seemed to have recognized a certain familiar presence and abruptly looked up.

A cluster of black flames descended from above, landing on his body.

Shroud muttered: The phenomenon is black flames? It seems the Overlord who paid attention to Rhode could be Dark, Destruction, or Death

Atleys gaze was locked on Gu Qing Shans black flames, mesmerized by it.

Reneedol commented: I think it could be the Overlord of Death, this is a very unique Overlord

Indeed, mortals who bring about death in this world are favored by this Overlord Shroud also commented.

That cant be, how would Rhode be connected to the Overlord of Death with how he normally is? Scarlet worriedly said.

Reneedol glanced at her.

-after a little bit, youll be forming a covenant with the Overlord of Death as well, so why are you worried about him?

However, I cant say that.

The black flames enveloped Rhode and took him out from everyones visions.

The World of Laws.

Gu Qing Shan didnt have to wait for too long before a cloaked humanoid figure silently appeared in front of him.

once again.

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, then bowed and spoke: Venerable Overlord of Death, I have come here to seek a covenant with you

The humanoid figure stood there without saying a word and only raised his hand to lightly touch the void of space.

Burning flames manifested in mid-air to form a series of text:

[Death cannot open its mouth, otherwise, all things shall wilt]

Gu Qing Shan nodded to signal his understanding.

The burning text turned back into flames, then manifested into different lines of text:

[Rhode, countless living beings have died at your hands, you are the individual with the highest level of suitability to Death]

[Now, are you willing to form a covenant with me?]

Gu Qing Shan answered right away: I am willing

The letters paused for a bit before changing again:

[Arent you going to ask what kind of covenant it is?]

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and agreed.

I shouldnt act like I know everything already, that would not be good.

He explained: I can sense suitability between you and me, so I thought it would be best to save both our times and directly get to the covenant

The burning text manifested into a scroll and flew in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The flames unfolded to form a simple covenant with only two lines:

[You shall provide me sustenance; I shall grant you power]

[Overlord of Death]

Following his previous reaction, Gu Qing Shan solemnly asked: Venerable Overlord of Death, may I ask how I would be able to provide you with sustenance?

The burning flames manifested into another line of text:

[The deaths you bring shall become my sustenance]

Gu Qing Shan hesitantly said: I normally dont kill

At this point, he stopped himself.

Recalling what would happen later, Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: I dont kill normal people

[That is fine, you only need to kill your enemies]

Gu Qing Shan nodded and placed his hand on the black flames covenant.

Hoh

The covenant turned into a cluster of flames that entered Gu Qing Shans body.

The covenant with the Overlord of Death had finished.

Another line of burning text appeared:

[You are a good person, Rhode, you may leave now]

Wait a moment!

Gu Qing Shan called out.

He took out something from his chest and respectfully said:

To commemorate this covenant, I would like to offer you this precious treasure
