Before Gu Qing Shan asked this question, the entire area around had already become silent.

The document on the hand of the staff member unfolded itself again.

This document gave off a faint membrane that quickly encased him, the Lords, Xie Dao Ling, and the novices all at once.

The noisy Profession Committee was blocked out.

The staff member cleared his throat and spoke: According to the 900 million World Layers alliances 5th Accord, 4th article, 77th section, the identity of all Returnees must be kept confidential, they are also to receive a certain level of support and aid

Please make a soul vow with this agreement of confidentiality

The staff member offered the agreement to Chen Wang and spoke: Sir, please follow the procedures as well

Of course, thats natural Chen Wang casually pressed his finger to the document as he spoke.

The other 3 Lords also followed.

After them, Xie Dao Ling, Ning Yue Chan, and Leng Tian Xing all had to press their fingers on the document once.

The staff member carefully put the document away before calming down.

He then spoke to Gu Qing Shan: Now, I will officially explain your identity for you

Please go ahead Gu Qing Shan replied.

When the staff member was about to speak, Chen Wang stopped him.

Its fine, everyone here has already signed the agreement of confidentiality Chen Wang spoke with a smile that wasnt smiling, no need to use those official non-explanations, after all, even if you manage to fool him with the scripted excuses, well still tell him the truth after this

The staff member smiled bitterly and shut up.

Chen Wang crossed his arms and asked Gu Qing Shan: Do you know about the story of the Old Gods creating the worlds?

A little bit Gu Qing Shan honestly answered.

Chen Wang continued: Before the Old Gods created the infinite worlds, there were already a few unique worlds that existed after all, even the Old Gods didnt appear out of nowhere, they also had places where they lived and rested

Those worlds were called Gods Territories, besides the Old Gods themselves, only a few exceptionally talented and beloved Combatants would receive the guidance of the Old Gods to come to those worlds and continue to live and thrive under their protection

These Combatants werent descendants of the Old Gods, but due to their excellence and talents, while living in the exceptional conditions of Gods Territories, they slowly became stronger and stronger, growing vastly beyond the imagination of normal people

At the time, Gods Territories and the 900 million World Layers were interconnected, so as long as the Old Gods allowed it, everyone was able to travel to and from Gods worlds and their own worlds

Only after the Apocalypse came and the Old Gods disappeared were those worlds cut off from ours

The people living in those worlds were unable to leave, and outsiders were unable to enter

The citizens of those worlds could have simply stayed there and lived a good life avoiding the Apocalypse

But a few selected people were able to observe the 900 million World Layers through unique means, they saw how the 900 million World Layers was being ravaged by calamities, billions of worlds destroyed one by one as the people suffered to no end

They were born differently

Some of them felt that there was no need to care about what happened to the outside world, as long as they could stay in their Gods Territory and live happily for the rest of their lives

Others felt that they couldnt keep going like this. They believe that one day even a Gods Territory wouldnt be safe anymore, and there were people and things that they cared about in the outside world

So they wanted to leave the worlds of the Old Gods, they wanted to join us in the 900 million World Layers and fight against the Apocalypse

But Gods Territories were now completely cut off, asides from the Old Gods themselves, no one would be able to reopen the path that would allow travel back into the 900 million World Layers again

Until one day, a peerless genius thought of a solution

That is soul reincarnation. By having their souls leave their bodies, they will be able to travel to the 900 million World Layers and find a place to live once more only then, can they leave a Gods Territory

The downside of this is that a reincarnated souls memories will be temporarily sealed, their powers will also be completely discarded, leaving a fresh soul to be reborn somewhere among the 900 million World Layers

A person who underwent soul reincarnation will more or less have a few unique characteristics. For example, due to their own wishes and having prepared beforehand, they will be able to travel between one or two selected worlds at will, or perhaps they wield a powerful Soul Artifact only usable by themselves or manifest the same unique talents that the Old Gods took notice in, there were also rare cases where they can immediately awaken their sealed memories after being reborn!

We call these people who reincarnated from Gods Territories, Returnees

As they mature, they will quickly enter a growth spurt and become rapidly stronger

Returnees are people who willingly gave up a life of peace inside the world of the Gods to enter the 900 million World Layers and help us. They are trustworthy to us and are our most powerful allies

In other words, the 900 million World Layers welcomes all Returnees!

Wang Chen smiled as he looked at Gu Qing Shan.

His gaze was no longer that of a senior looking at a friends protg, but rather one that looked at someone at the same level.

The other Lords were the same.

Gu Qing Shan doubtfully looked at Bai Hua Fairy.

Earlier, Bai Hua Fairy had wanted to tell him about the Returnees, but because of other disciples being there, she decided against it and talked about something else.

Bai Hua Fairy nodded.

Indeed, Qing Shan, you might have been a Returnee with strong connections to Shen Wu world Xie Dao Ling answered him.

originally, the cultivation world didnt have a name, only after fusing Shen Wu world did everyone notice that they needed a name to call and distinguish themselves from other worlds.

So the cultivators quickly decided to just not change anything and call the post-fusion world Shen Wu world as well.

Gu Qing Shan seriously listened to Chen Wang and Bai Hua Fairys explanations as he took a deep breath.

This isnt right.

I know for a fact that I returned from dying in battle in the past life, so why do they assume that Im a Returnee?

Lady Darksea was the one who checked and arrived at this conclusion, so could she have been wrong?

She was supposedly someone even more powerful then Chen Wang and the other Lords, so she wouldnt make a mistake.

But I clearly remember my past life.

I know for a fact that Ive never lived in any world of the Gods!

right.

During the qualification test, I think I heard a female voice speaking to me.

Who was that? Was it Lady Darksea?

Gu Qing Shan couldnt help but touch the sword at his hip.

the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

Shannu is immune to any Law.

Perhaps Shannu saw what happened to me earlier.

But now isnt the time for that, Ill ask Shannu when Im alone.

Even when Gu Qing Shan was full of doubts, he didnt express any of that on his face, only showing a slightly surprised look.

His attitude and expression matched how a person would react to being told what he was told.

Very well the staff member spoke, everyone has signed the agreement of confidentiality, Gu Qing Shans personal records will be upgraded to be a confidential file that normal people wouldnt be able to read

He took out three tarot cards, gave one each to Gu Qing Shan, and Ning Yue Chan, then threw the last one into the void of space.

The three novices have all received a novice card. The novice qualification test for cultivators have been officially concluded

The staff member told Xie Dao Lings group.

He then turned and bowed towards Chen Wang: Sir, if there is nothing else, I will excuse myself

Ah, go ahead, youve done your job well Chen Wang grinned.

-but how do we use this card? Ning Yue Chan asked in confusion.

Simply say your name, that card will bring you across billions of worlds directly to the Strife Zones border outpost the staff member explained.

Just this card alone? Ning Yue Chan spoke in disbelief.

Indeed, the border outpost itself is a Super Dimensional world that belongs to the 900 million World Layers alliance, it is linked with these cards

You must report there in one hour the staff member told her.

Yun Ji looked at Ning Yue Chan and said: Ah little girl, I quite like the look in your eyes, so Ill give you some advice

Please do, senior Ning Yue Chan respectfully clasped her fist.

Do not look down on cards, and definitely do not look down on card users, otherwise you will be cursing yourself and regret your contempt Yun Ji told her.

Perhaps recalling something, Chen Wang added: You should also take some distance from card users, theyre normally always extremely narcissistic and insane

Furthermore, they always do things that feel right from their own perspectives without consideration for others the mechanical arm also added.

After they do all of that, they will also praise themselves for perfectly accounting everything for you, but trust me, you will hate them for doing what they did Big Bear immediately followed up and concluded.

The four Lords all exchanged clear looks of empathy as they said all that.

Ning Yue Chan.

This humble one will keep that in mind she clasped her fist.

Seeing how the four Lords advised her at once, they all mustve gone through something traumatizing.

For Lord-class Combatants to feel wary to this degree, Ning Yue Chan would definitely not forget their advice.

Card users.

I will definitely be on look out for any card users!

Gu Qing Shan looked at his Shifu, then at the Lords and told them: Then, we will be going now

Xie Dao Ling carefully advised him: Hm, remember to look out for yourself from now on, if there are any dangers, remember to run away. Do not forget, in a danger zone like the Strife Zones, retreating isnt anything to be ashamed of

Your master is right Chen Wang patted him on the shoulder: Even though you are a Returnee, you still havent regained your memories yet, so make sure to be careful, you will lose everything if you die

The other Lords also nodded at him.

Yun Ji even added: In the worst case scenario, just use the Void String that Kitty gave you to return to the Iron Fist Club

There are no deserters in our Iron Fist Club Gu Qing Shan puffed out his chest and spoke.

Do you not intend to run away even in the face of certain death? Yun Ji questioned.

Gu Qing Shan spoke with a stern expression: Of course I will not unless the Club has something urgent that requires me to quickly deal with, in which case I will return

Chen Wang praised: Never mind your strength, your shamelessness is already on par with Barry

Gu Qing Shan just smiled, then looked at Ning Yue Chan.

Ning Yue Chan nodded.

They both raised the cards in their hands.

Ning Yue Chan Ning Yue Chan whispered.

Gu Qing Shan Gu Qing Shan whispered.

The cards turned into a flash of light, covered each of them, and disappeared from the Profession Committee in the blink of an eye.
