Inside the Desolate World Eater Demon Bugs stomach.

Drifting Sand world.

The black market.

Someone loudly called out: Weve found a poem of divination! Anyone who would like to know, bring your treasures here and make a trade. #200 or above coins, treasures of similar value or a different poem of Divination will also be accepted!

Everyone turned to look.

The one who said that was a well-known Combatant.

After he made the announcement, he had members of his organization get into battle formations, and got ready to fight.

Because someone might come with ill intentions, wanting to use violence to know what that poem of divination was.

An over-3-meter tall muscular man stepped forward and stopped near them.

This was another well-known close-combat Combatant by the name of [Beheader].

So youre the famous Beheader? Do you want to exchange information with us for the poem of divination? Or do you want to fight? the Combatant asked.

Of course Im here to exchange information the Beheader answered in annoyance, theres a total of 21 poems, even if someone knows them all, they still have to analyze it to find out where the labyrinth is, I dont have time to waste

Very well, my thoughts exactly, then lets conclude our transaction quickly the Combatant said.

The Beheader pulled out a coin and showed it to him: This is the #337 coin, I think you already know what it does, I want to exchange it for your information

The Combatant took the coin and smiled.

Very well, Im very happy with this offer, I accept

Everyone silently watched them complete their trade.

A few moments later.

The entire black market began to exchange information regarding the poems as well.

There were almost no large-scale battles.

Because battles took time, and every second wasted fighting was a second where others were using to step closer towards becoming a Demigod.

Soon enough, everyone found a total of 9 poems of divination within the Holy Bibles.

-only 12 left to go!

On the other side.

Gu Qing Shan and Little Xi were quickly flying through the vast, endless desert.

They went past sand dune after sand dune, flying towards a certain direction.

Little Xi still couldnt contain her surprise, asking Gu Qing Shan again: So you actually managed to learn the Skill that the Divinities enemy used to hunt them, how incredible

Do you want to learn? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Little Xi hurriedly nodded, extremely excited.

But how should I teach it to you? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Theres no hurry, after your card grade increases a bit more, when you can create cards on your own, youll just have to teach it to me through a card Little Xi smiled.

I can do that? Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

Little Xi replied: Of course, youre currently only a grey card. You dont even know simple card terms like treasures, summoning tools, and card creation, so the more complicated ones are out of the question. You just have to quickly increase your own card grade, and I think becoming a Demigod is the best shortcut for that

Gu Qing Shan asked: Didnt your power also decrease by a lot? Why arent you aiming to be a Demigod instead?

Because I already have a plan and a clear idea of what to do to get stronger, while youre still a blank slate, you can use the Divinities way to become stronger first before anything else

While they were talking, a male voice suddenly called out.

Where are you going?

The black-skinned man suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

He was a ruler of the desert, a powerful creature from the Abyss of Sin.

Ah? Its you? Little Xi quickly reacted and smiled: Were going to

Gu Qing Shan quickly chimed in: go around the desert, searching for a way to leave this world

Let me talk to him he sent his voice to Little Xi.

Little Xi was surprised, but kept quiet.

The black-skinned man stared at the two of them and asked: How strange, why arent you trying to read and analyze the Holy Bibles, thats the only way to seal the monster

Gu Qing Shan didnt answer him and instead threw something to the black-skinned man.

He caught it and took a look.

It was a small black bag.

Ive checked the bag, theres nothing but money in there, you can use it when you leave Gu Qing Shan said.

The black-skinned man put the black bag away and continued to ask: What are you going around for?

I already told you, looking for a way to leave

The black-skinned man said: The entire world is already eaten by that bug in the sky, how is there a way to leave?

Yeah, because its a bug, there should be various openings and hollow areas within its body, our goal right now is to search for those hollow areas Gu Qing Shan answered with a serious expression.

The black-skinned man said nothing.

Find a way to leave this world from here he muttered in a low voice.

Look, Im not wasting time standing here chatting with you anymore, were going to keep looking Gu Qing Shan told him.

Alright, I hope youll find the way the black-skinned man smiled at them.

He moved out of their way.

Gu Qing Shan brought Little Xi and flew past him, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

The black-skinned man silently watched as they left and muttered: The way to leave I hope youll find it

He disappeared from the sky.

A sand storm began to brew in the desert of sand.

After Gu Qing Shan and Little Xi went far enough away.

Gu Qing Shan finally stopped.

Little Xi also stopped and asked him: Why did you say that to him? Werent we looking for the labyrinth?

Wheres the Abyss of Sin? Gu Qing Shan asked her back.

Ah, with our current speed, well reach it in about 2 hours Little Xi answered him.

Are all the wardens inside the Abyss of Sin powerful wild creatures like that black-skinned man? Gu Qing Shan asked again.

Of course not, only a few of them are like him, there are other different types of powerful wardens as well Little Xi replied.

Can they deal with the monster in the seal? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Little Xi froze.

She suddenly recalled how the giant green arms practically covered the earth before as the sinful creature tried to break free from the ground.

It was a terrifying monster that she could barely seal away at the peak of her power!

Indeed, when the giant green arms took over the surface of the world, no creatures outside of the black market could possibly escape.

Even the powerful wardens of the Abyss of Sin couldnt stop themselves from being devoured by the monster.

They cant, the most they can do is immediately notify the Divinities, but there are no longer any Divinities here yet hes still alive and well! Little Xi wondered in confusion.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and spoke: That scorpion is no longer his original self

According to my deductions, perhaps the appearance of the figure of light was the final struggle of the wardens from the Abyss of Sin before their deaths

Little Xi asked: Why do you think so?

Gu Qing Shan replied: Because he appeared exactly where the labyrinth is he was blocking our path into the labyrinth

Gu Qing Shan slowly continued: He and his family sat with me on a ship, wanting to do everything to leave this world, but now he appeared to block my way, giving off such clear killing intent. It was obvious that he isnt welcoming me into taking the Divine Armaments away

But what kind of creature would want to prevent me from taking the Divine Armaments?

The entire world is currently hoping to activate the Divine Armaments, except a single creature who doesnt want that

the sealed creature

The creature mustve used a method that we dont understand to bypass the figure of lights seal and entered the scorpions body

Little Xi couldnt help but shook her head: You were suspicious that he was no longer the original him with just that?

Gu Qing Shan replied: Of course not, I used the process of elimination. I assumed that there could only be one thing that could deal with a powerful wild creature like himself, as well as taking over his body

In fact, I only confirmed it after I gave him the bag of coins because we had already decided to split the money inside the bag, but earlier he acted like he didnt know about that at all

The real him felt very awkward about taking the money, so he wouldnt have just taken the money without saying a single word like he did just now

Gu Qing Shans voice became a bit done: If hes already dead, the Demon Scorpion Empress is most likely in a similar situation, if you want further proof, you can try to check your summoning card of her

Little Xi took out her Demon Scorpion Empress summoning card.

It was blank.

Little Xi sighed as she looked at Gu Qing Shan: Youre right, looks like were going to have to think of some way to deal with him before we can enter the labyrinth

Gu Qing Shan chuckled bitterly.

Its not just him, Im guessing that every warden in the Abyss of Sin are currently within the labyrinth

That monster had already taken over their bodies, it would definitely not allow anyone to take any Divine Armament away, nor let them unleash the new seal
