Cold Jade Forest.

On top of a really high branch.

Two unconscious birds fell down from the sky and got caught by the thick layer of leaves.

Gu Qing Shan was one of them.

He was lying below the wing of the other bird, being pushed down really hard.

Gu Qing Shan slightly turned to throw its wing off his body.

The other bird opened its eyes in confusion and turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan glared at it.

The bird fell unconscious even deeper.

Solving that little trouble, Gu Qing Shan also closed his bird eyes, laid still on the tree branch, and pretended to faint.

Time slowly passed without a sound.

It was slowly getting closer to noon.

Intense trembling that shook the entire forest came not too far away.

That was the other side of the border, the Desolate worlds Barren Western Plains.

Due to the intense shockwaves literally coming from another world, its effects have already been greatly diminished.

But for this forest, they were still shockwaves powerful enough to destroy many things.

A few moments later.

An angry roar came from the sky: Despicable low lives who cant even keep a promise!

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

This is Desolate Tongue.

He stopped breathing, closed both eyes tightly, and only used his inner sight to check the situation outside.

Without any warnings, a glorious streak of light followed by a long tail of flames crashed into the border of the forest.

Boom

A huge crater was formed.

The invisible shockwaves broke hundreds of thousands of trees, immediately throwing the forest into chaos.

Gu Qing Shan let the shockwaves act on his body and sweep him away without resisting even a little bit, tossing him through the air before landing on the ground.

He understood very well that it was currently a moment of war, if any of those strongest monsters were here, they would immediately notice if something was off.

Gu Qing Shan continued to keep his eyes shut and only released his inner sight to silently observe the situation.

A dimly glowing light came out from the crater, followed by a voice that only barely managed to keep a dignified tone: Great Lord of Desolation, youve misunderstood

From the void of space, another voice replied: Misunderstood?

Indeed, as the Divine King, I can guarantee you that weve always kept to and acted in accordance of our treaty

The Divine King!

The one that was beaten to the ground was the Divine King!

Gu Qing Shan was completely shocked but didnt dare to let out even a tiny bit of his aura.

Could it be, the one who died was the Divine King?

That would explain a lot of things.

No wonder the Divinities kept their mouths shut about the identity of the Divinity that died and forbid humanity to look into it.

The voice from the void of space spoke up again, this time carrying a hint of anger: I came all the way from the other side of the Desolate world, avoided the human and Divinity allied army to personally hear your explanations, and all I get is that Ive misunderstood!?

Yes, its a misunderstanding, I assure you I can explain the Divine King replied.

Then talk, Im listening

The reason we created so many worlds was to attempt to recreate the past. To see what kind of things the Bygone Era humanity was thinking that they gave up on everything and entered that gate

The voice from the void of space scoffed.

You mere insects would be so full of yourself to try and look into the ultimate secret of the Bygone Era? the Lord of Desolation mocked.

The Divine King raised his voice: At least we are attempting to look into it instead of sitting around doing nothing. Were just trying to find out the secret!

The Lord of Desolation went silent briefly before continuing: You mean to tell me that you havent done anything to go against our treaty, is that right?

That is indeed the case the Divine King replied.

At this point, a streak of flaming light descended from above and stood guard by the Divine King.

Sire, Ive come to guard you the other light spoke.

There is no need the Divine King replied, I know that as long as the Lord of Desolation understands everything clearly, he would not make things difficult

Indeed the Lord of Desolation continued, As long as the bunch of you do not try to betray me and plan some despicable things behind my back, I would not make things difficult

The Divine King raised his voice again: Then let this invasion end here, Lord of Desolation, youve already frightened my subjects

As long as you return to the Desolate world, I can promise you that Ill provide as much human flesh as you wish

The Lord of Desolations voice slackened a bit: That is fine, as long as you answer my one question

Please go ahead the Divine King said.

You stole that thing from the Desolate Abyss according to what you said, it was because you wanted to create new worlds and search for the secret of the Bygone Era

Because of how youve meticulously raised high-quality human cattle and provided meat for my people so far, I will forgive you for that

The Lord of Desolation paused briefly, then continued: But how dare you try and hide it from me that youve created a Samsara!?

Shu!

A dull sound.

A 7-colored spear suddenly appeared from the void of space and pierced through the Divine Kings body.

Aaaaa!

The Divine King screamed in pain, clutching the 7-colored spear with both hands and begged: No, forgive me!

From the void of space, the Lord of Desolations voice continued: The Samsara cannot be controlled. You dared to imitate the power of the human race and created it means that youre challenging my authority

The Divine King was forced to his knees, the brilliance around his body went completely dark.

With a single strike, the 7-colored spear had broken the Divine Kings Divine Armor, reducing it to fragments on the ground.

The Divine Kings figure was revealed to be exactly the same as a human, the only difference was a burning flame in between his eyebrows.

He endured the pain and breathed heavily: Lord of Desolation the Samsara had only just been created, it doesnt have any power I offer it to you

Divine King, you moron, you had the gall to go against me without declaring it, you actually tried to harvest the power of the Samsara. You dont understand, even though that thing is still incredibly weak right now, it will surely grow on its own, finally becoming a powerful tool of the human race, becoming so great that neither you nor I will be able to control

The Lord of Desolations voice was full of mockery: Pitiful and pitiable fellow. If you had resisted me, or perhaps a bit better, if you had tried to issue a direct challenge towards me and lived for at least 10 exchanges, I would have appreciated your character

But instead, you foolishly chose to covet the power that could never be controlled

That is the true reason why I kill you

The 7-colored spear began to give off intense light that erupted from the Divine Kings body.

No! Stop!

The other light that was guarding the Divine King shouted.

It tried to charge towards the void of space.

The spear was pulled out and lightly swung.

The light was immediately swatted away, crashed, and slid across the ground to form a huge dirt valley of several hundred meters.

The light disappeared and turned into fragments of broken armor.

A Divine race soldier appeared.

He also looked human but had a burning Blue Flame in between his eyebrows.

Damn it

He spat up blood, but was too heavily wounded and couldnt do anything but watch as the spear pierced into the Divine Kings body again.

The Divine King reached his hand out, apparently wanting to catch the spear again.

But it was useless.

He slowly went limp while on his knees, the flames extinguished little by little.

He then hung his head.

The spear was pulled out.

The Divine King was dead.

From the void of space, the Lord of Desolations voice came again: Seeing how you so loyally protected your King, I will spare your life. Send this message to the rest your race

I will break the Samsara, and you are forbidden from ever touching it again, otherwise you will end as the Divine King did

Continue to raise more human cattle for me right, you may choose another Divine King

Now, I will personally descend upon the battlefield between the two worlds

After I devour a few high-ranking cultivators, our army will retreat

Hopefully, you will have learned your lesson and be a bit more honest from now on

The overwhelming presence in the void of space gradually went away.

The Lord of Desolation had left.

The Blue Flame Divinity waited for a while more.

Only after desperate screams started to echo from the faraway battlefield did he try to stand up.

But the power of the 7-colored spear was truly too great, the Blue Flame Divinity staggered forward a few steps before collapsing again.

The Blue Flame Divinity glanced unwillingly at the Divine Kings corpse.

He then began to crawl towards the Divine Kings corpse.

This forceful action reopened his wounds, causing him to spit out some more blood.

But the Blue Flame Divinity didnt pay attention to that.

He carefully and meticulously checked the Divine Kings corpse.

Suddenly, he raised his head and laughed like mad: Ahahaha, so youre finally dead. From now on, no one will be a match for me anymore!

I am the next Divine King!

He was so focused on checking the corpse, then found himself in extreme joy so he didnt pay much attention to the minor details in his surroundings.

When the Blue Flame Divinity first checked the Divine Kings corpse.

On a fallen tree several dozen miles away from where he was.

A Wind Feather bird opened its eyes.

At the next split second.

The Wind Feather bird vanished.

A 6-legged winged snake appeared right behind the Blue Flame Divinity.

This wasnt the same monster that Gu Qing Shan faced before, but a fully intact, unwounded 6-legged winged snake.

It was one of the higher-tired Desolate monsters.

Even after the entire Drifting Moon Immortal Sect was destroyed, it still managed to leave on one last breath after the desperate battle.

At that moment, the Blue Flame Divinity had just raised his head and laughed like mad: Ahahaha, so youre finally dead. From now on, no one will be a match for me anymore!

I am the next Divine King!

His laugh stopped.

when a 6-legged winged snake attacked with all its power, it utilized a total of three attacks all at once.

Firstly, a Sound-based soul vessel attack that caused the targets mind to become blurred.

Secondly, an invisible spatial rend attack.

Thirdly, a full-power attack with its body.

In that split second.

A dull crunching sound resounded.

The Blue Flame Divinitys head was bitten off, crunched, chewed a few times before being spat back out.

The Blue Flame Divinity was dead!

The 6-legged winged snake rolled once on the ground and turned back into Gu Qing Shan.

He immediately tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a gourd of liquor, and cleansed his mouth.

Shannu didnt care much about his ferocity during that kill and hurriedly asked: Gongzi, didnt you say we cant change major events that happened in the past, why did you kill another Divinity? Or were you unable to control your emotions again?

Thats not it

Gu Qing Shan looked at the ridiculous amount of Soul Points he just obtained on the War God UI, then checked the amount of Soul Points that the System said he needed and calmed down.

He slowly explained: Both you and I know very clearly that as soon as I used the Lightning Thaumaturgy in the frontlines to kill enemies, I was already exposed

People arent afraid of rain while in a pool, and being in too much debt makes you numb with money. Since Im already exposed, I might as well cause a huge scene, then change my identity and hide so that my enemies cant find me

Shannu asked doubtfully: Gongzi, do you mean

She stopped.

A Blue Flame slowly manifested between Gu Qing Shans eyebrows while he was standing in front of her.

He was gradually transforming into the Blue Flame Divinity.

The only other person here is the dead Divine King, and I was the first Divinity to make it here, then got heavily wounded by the Lord of Desolation

Following this, I will convey the will of the Lord of Desolation to my fellow Divine race people

This should be exactly the same as what happened in history, so even if someone infiltrated this phantom image, they would find that history was never changed at all

The Blue Flame Divinity closed his eyes and slowly explained while sensing the changes to his body.
