Chapter 1344: The man who makes sense
The Saint Spirit world was the strongest world.
And the strongest group of people in this world were, without a doubt, the strongest Combatants among the various top-level Combatants from the many parallel worlds.
Then, what kind of battle would they fight?
If it was in any other worlds, the mere act of them lifting a finger could cause countless worlds to perish.
Fortunately——-
This world had an immensely powerful Origin, as well as a world spirit manifested from the remnant Will of Deities.
These people were powerful, but the world was more powerful.
Which meant that it could endure their combat.
However—-
When the killing intent rose to the sky, blood filled the air, and the earth trembled, Gu Qing Shan could no longer observe the following combat.
When the red-haired woman raised her hand, Gu Qing Shan as well as his chair were sent away together with Crow and the duck plushie.
——as a small Baron and Baron’s aide, it was almost impossible for them to survive in a battle of such epic proportions.
So the three of them were sent far away to avoid being caught in the grand battle.
——they appeared in the middle of a vast ocean, on top of a floating iceberg.
“I couldn’t even resist before being sent away here” Crow muttered.
“Indeed, they are very powerful” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He was still sitting neatly on his chair, slowly taking a sip of his liquor.
The ocean was calm, occasionally one or two sea birds would fly by, cawing loudly.
“Look, there are a few tunas over there, do you want to—–” Gu Qing Shan pointed for the duck plushie to see.
The duck plushie refused: “I’m not going into water”
“Hah, how regretful, I was prepared to make you a bit of a meal as well” Gu Qing Shan sighed.
“They’re already fighting and you’re here talking about a meal—— are we just going to stay here and wait for the results?” Crow opened her bright eyes wide, speechless.
From the scene of an impending desperate battle to a scene of a peaceful ocean, this abrupt change was hard for most to adapt to.
Suddenly, an intense power fluctuation was felt.
It originated from a considerable distance from this part of the ocean, but with Gu Qing Shan and Crow’s strength, they still managed to sharply recognize this fluctuation.
“The battle had begun” Crow said, clenching her fist.
The duck plushie took out a notebook, writing his calculations on it, and excitedly said: “According to the Laws of Spatial Transportation, someone must be at least five times stronger than we were to be able to directly transport us away while ignoring our resistance”
“Combined with the power fluctuations we felt earlier, divided by the number of Combatants who appeared, those people were averagely 4.3 times stronger compared to the three of us combined”
“Are they really that strong?” Crow was a bit unconvinced.
“Data never lies” the duck plushie replied.
After saying that, both of them felt dejected.
Crow was a top-level Titled Combatant of Void City. Even if he was weaker compared to the strongest void monsters, he wouldn’t be that much weaker.
It was truly a strike to their pride.
Seeing their expressions, Gu Qing Shan chuckled: “No need to feel down. This place is the most powerful world in the history of all worlds of the past, and the fact that we were able to see these Combatants here is already a great opportunity. During our cultivation in this place from now on, we’d be able to use them as a standard to strive forward”
He poured two more glasses for the two of them, cheered, and drank it all at once.
Seeing him drink, Crow also finished her glass.
The lingering burning sensation of the liquor in her chest thoroughly dispelled the earlier dejection.
Crow swiftly readjusted her mentality, then asked: “How do you think the battle is going on that side?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “The wraiths would not give up their many years of effort so easily, so they would surely come up with some way to salvage the situation”
“But you’ve already recorded everything, the truth is right there, who else would be able to save them?” the duck plushie enjoyed the sea breeze and asked.
“Those who were taken over would definitely think of a way to erase all evidence, then arrive to rescue the wraiths” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow then said: “But everyone knows that they’ve been taken over, their appearance would only further fan the flames of those Combatants’ rage”
After a moment of silence, Gu Qing Shan replied: “In the worst-case scenario, they would find those who haven’t been taken over to help convince the others”
Crow was surprised: “Those who haven’t been taken over? Would people like that actually help them?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “There are always those who hold nothing but malice towards living beings in every world... while they live behind their façade being admired by others, they would silently perform nothing short of the cruelest activities. We wouldn’t be able to understand people with this mentality”
At this point, Shannu silently suggested inside Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea:
“Gongzi has already practiced [Snowdrift], so when the wraiths want to turn things over on their heads later on, we can simply show everyone how a take-over would happen——– the Earth sword and I will prepare to kill the one trying to take over like last time”
“That’s not possible” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Not possible?”
“That’s right. Last time was a desperate measure, I was a hair’s breadth away from killing myself. I can’t stab myself in front of so many people once again and stay in that near-death state, that’s essentially the same as volunteering myself as hostage”
“Then...” Shannu hesitantly asked.
“Furthermore, the wraiths must have already cleaned everything up regarding this matter as soon as it was found out, they wouldn’t let us use such obvious evidence against them”
Gu Qing Shan put down his glass, stood up, and drew a black bow: “As proof——”
He quickly fired off several arrows with the bow.
The arrows flew like streaks of light across the surface of the ocean, finally disappearing into the horizon.
“I’ve just performed [Snowdrift] at its greatest mastery, so I should have already been taken over, but nothing happened at all”
“The wraiths have erased the [Life Seize Body Swap] technique from this inheritance as soon as they were able to”
Gu Qing Shan slowly explained.
Shannu was in a bit of panic as she heard that, muttering: “Then, would those Combatants be convinced?”
“Most likely, they’ll summon me to confirm the situation” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Shannu was really panicking this time, asking: “Gongzi, what do we do now?”
“The wraiths have most likely prepared for everything and are waiting for me to return, but the most they would able to do is to examine my jade tags, so their only case would most likely be that I fabricated the contents of the jade tags”
Gu Qing Shan then took out the original jade piece and rubbed it with his fingers
“But they didn’t know that I had this jade piece in my hand that came from them. This contained the original recording, including the coordinates and timeline of events. With the world itself as my proof, they couldn’t possibly claim that this was also fake”
“How strange, why haven’t they summoned me yet? Did the wraiths already give——-”
As soon as he said that, he disappeared from the iceberg.
...
Outside Ramon village.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared.
Hundreds of Combatants focused their gazes on him.
On the other side.
Countless wraiths all prostrated themselves, displaying their surrender.
In front of the wraiths were several Combatants in luxurious clothing.
“Come, that Baron is here! His recording might not have any issues, but he was the one who made it!”
“It’s time to let everyone know the truth, he must have been lying!”
“That’s right, couldn’t all of you have carefully considered the facts? Those jade tags were clearly all the results of his handiwork”
Those Combatants immediately called out.
Gu Qing Shan coldly glanced at them, then turned to the Combatants around him.
He took out the original jade piece and openly displayed it in his hand.
In that short moment, everyone’s gazes were focused on the jade piece.
This was the wraith’s jade piece.
It contained the original recording.
The people on the other side changed their expressions.
But how could that reaction fool any of the Combatants here?
They immediately surrounded Gu Qing Shan, cautiously protecting him.
An old farmer took the jade piece from Gu Qing Shan’s hand, closed his eyes and silently sensed it, then said: “Using a temporal technique, anyone can see the truth, I believe there are no issues with this”
Right at that moment, before waiting for anyone else to speak, Gu Qing Shan changed his Title to [Reality’s Most Amorous Man]
—-Title Skill activated!
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “Everyone, I’m merely a Baron, but the jade piece in my hand contained the original recording. Regardless of what anyone says, the jade piece is right there, and anyone of your caliber would be able to tell if it was fabricated or not. Because of that, the truth must be——- the wraiths were unwilling to give up on their work after so much, so they attempted one last struggle to continue taking over this world”
“Furthermore, the very fact that they know this technique is a sin in and of itself. Since when did we from the Saint Spirit world need to be reasonable when killing?”
Silence, all around.
Suddenly——
The Combatants surrounding Gu Qing Shan quickly expressed their opinions.
“Indeed, they deserve to die just by having such thoughts, let alone the current circumstances”
“Makes sense”
“That makes a lot of sense”
“There’s no need to say anything else, let’s kill them”
“That’s right, with an impending Apocalypse, we can’t let these wraiths interfere with us”
“Then...”
“Kill them!”
The light of numerous powerful techniques abruptly bloomed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Someone waved their hand.
His vision became blurred—–
Gu Qing Shan found himself back on top of the iceberg in the middle of the vast ocean.
Crow and the duck plushie each had a fishing pole in their hands, seriously fishing.
Gu Qing Shan leaned back on his chair, sighing in relief.
“How was it? Did they question you?” Crow asked.
“Didn’t let them” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“What happened next?” the duck plushie questioned further.
“They fought” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“There shouldn’t be any other issues, right?” Crow asked.
“If they still continued to hesitate, they wouldn’t be qualified to be Combatants” Gu Qing Shan grinned.
“Tsk tsk, a world-shaking battle, but we don’t even have the opportunity to witness it” the duck plushie sighed dejectedly.
Crow scoffed: “Even I’m not qualified to stand at the scene, a duck plushie like you being there would mean nothing but death”
Saying so, she pulled her hand up, grabbing a fish out of water.
“You know how to make seafood?” she asked Gu Qing Shan.
“I’m somewhat familiar with them”
Gu Qing Shan sat down, excitedly looking at the fish.
Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation on his wrist.
The blue skull pattern disappeared, this time turning into a sword and blade crossing pattern.
The world went away from Gu Qing Shan’s vision.
Darkness.
Countless stars descended, surrounding Gu Qing Shan and spoke in thousands of whispering voices:
? The Saint Spirit world and Wraith realm have officially become enemies, the flames of war have erupted ?
? You’ve proven your wits and power ?
? ...Please fight along our side, we shall further provide you with aid ?
At the same time, a line of glowing text popped up on the War God UI:
[You’ve obtained the recognition of the world spirit; you no longer need to expend Soul Points]
The number of Soul Points constantly being deducted at the corner of the UI suddenly stopped.
Gu Qing Shan glanced over to see that there were around 200 million Soul Points left.
—-decent enough.
The sea of stars scattered away.
The darkness around him quickly receded, returning the world to normal.
The blue sky, calm ocean, and gentle breeze.
A flock of birds flew across the sky.
On top of the iceberg, Crow and the duck plushie were busy focusing on fishing.
Gu Qing Shan rolled up his sleeves and picked the large fish up, seriously considering what he should prepare for dinner.
