Chapter 956: Living Beings
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze was focused on the void of space in front of himself, silently watching the 6 UIs in his vision.
One War God, five [Chaos].
The 6 UIs were sitting side by side in front of him, flickering like neon lights.
“I’ve already said the answer out loud, now what?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The War God UI replied with a slow and low tone: [You must think about it yourself Gu Qing Shan. You must consider very carefully whether or not you need the power of Chaos]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
This statement carried a lot of implications.
The War God UI doesn’t seem to reject the idea of my using the power of [Chaos]
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help himself asking: “What would happen if I also collect the power of the real Envoy of [Chaos]?”
[I can’t answer that] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan complained: “Again with that. I’ve already figured out the answer, but you won’t tell me anything else”
The War God UI replied: [Because this was also part of the secret, I’ve already guided you very clearly, you will need to take a look at the rest of it yourself]
“Then I can only try it out” Gu Qing Shan declared resolutely.
The War God UI continued: [I must warn you, if you truly intend to try this, it will require all of your current Soul Points in order to safely pass this ordeal]
Gu Qing Shan froze.
I’ll use up all my Soul Points?
He carefully considered it for a long while before replying: “I can always earn more Soul Points, but there most likely won’t be any other chance as good as this one to gather all the [Chaos] while the Envoy and the secondary Envoys are still at their weakest”
[Indeed] the War God UI agreed: [Chaos grows in an excessively rapid manner; you will find it very hard to get such a good chance a second time]
“Let’s go”
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan vanished from mid-air.
He used [Ground Shrink] several times and returned to the top of the barren mountain.
The boy was still lying unconscious on the ground.
——-seems like Shannu’s strike was quite severe.
Gu Qing Shan pressed certain points on the boy’s body.
The boy slowly opened his eyes.
He sat back, angrily glaring at Gu Qing Shan: “Mortal, you should’ve already known by now and fear the power of [Chaos], now release me”
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and muttered: “It seems you’ve awakened your memories”
“That’s right, your conversation with that chicken triggered something in my mind, and being forced unconscious allowed me to remember a lot of things in the past, I really should thank you for that”
The boy pridefully said.
Having memories of his past life, he would be able to grow even faster and stronger than ever before, using the power of [Chaos], he would even surpass himself in the past life.
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Then, as your thanks, answer me one question”
The boy asked: “What question?”
“When you killed all those people in the village—— what did you feel at the time?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The boy was stunned, then scowled: “Feel? I only killed some people, what is there to feel?”
He slowly pondered Gu Qing Shan’s intentions and realized something: “Ah, I understand. This sly fellow, you’re actually trying to convince yourself when you ask me this question aren’t you?”
“You want all the people in the world to mock me? Or do you want to awaken some sort of emotions in my heart, use that to lull me, and convince me to no longer spread [Chaos]?”
The boy tilted his head and answered in a mocking tone.
At this point, he no longer seemed like a boy, instead, he was more akin to a sly and shrewd person in power.
“Not at all” Gu Qing Shan replied: “I simply want to know what you think about killing other people, nothing more, nothing less”
The boy faced his eyes head on to confirm his intentions.
And found that he was truly curious about his answer.
What a strange person.
But he currently has the advantage, so why should I offend him?
And if I can somehow turn him into my aide, wouldn’t that be even better?
The boy thought for a while and replied: “The lives of mortals are too pitiful and tough. I simply sent them off from this harsh and cruel world. From then on, they would no longer need to feel any joy, anger, sorrow, or frustration from the changes in this world. This is simply my own selfless contribution to them—— and there’s no need for them to repay me”
Gu Qing Shan went silent briefly.
“So? What kind of words are you going to try and convince me with?” the boy asked with an expression as if looking forward to seeing a play.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “You’re probably right”
The boy was shocked.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “Ever since the appearance of the Apocalypse, even spreading into this reality from parallel worlds, the Inner Plane has already been destroyed, the Outer Plane no longer has any peaceful or safe haven, even the Eternal Abyss is running into problems in some parallel worlds——- like the parallel world that I come from, so I agree with your statement—— living beings are always suffering”
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then went on: “I truly believe that even if you didn’t reincarnate in this world, this world would have faced the Apocalypse sooner or later”
The boy looked at Gu Qing Shan with glowing eyes and spoke emotionally: “That’s right, all living beings are suffering, this couldn’t be said any better—- so you really do understand it well, even in my past life, there weren’t many people who could clearly see this”
He continued: “The entire Inner Plane had already been destroyed, the Apocalypse is simply unstoppable, only the power of [Chaos] could help me—– and it could also help you”
“Help me?” Gu Qing Shan questioned.
The boy’s mind was quickly moving and answered him with a bit of thought: “It really is a shame for a person of your caliber to be my opposition, so what do you say we make a deal instead?”
“What kind of deal?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The boy replied solemnly: “I’m currently still in a state of having just awoken and still very weak, but you’re already very strong, capable of helping me spread [Chaos] throughout this entire word”
“Why should I help you?”
“Because when I’ve obtained more power, I will bestow you a kind of [Chaos]”
At this point, both parties went silent and simply stared at one another.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and waved his hand.
He had grabbed the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
“I also want to make a deal with you” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“It’s not easy to agree to a deal when the other side holds a weapon”
The boy scowled.
At this point, his gestures and speech were already no longer that of a young child.
“Sorry if you think that way, but a weapon is the prerequisite of this deal”
Gu Qing Shan stabbed his sword into the other party’s body and slowly explained: “I’m going to ask you to die for a bit. I’ll preserve your body, and if necessary, I’ll revive you”
The boy spat out some blood and opened his eyes wide.
“You... You actually trying to kill me... aren’t you afraid that [Chaos] would... enter your body?”
He struggled to speak a complete sentence.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer.
The boy’s face slowly showed an expression of fear.
He was sensing the descent of death.
All of his powers were slipping away.
I’m actually going to die!
“No, I don’t want to die!” he shouted with his remaining strength.
Gu Qing Shan simply stared at him with an emotionless gaze.
“Your life is too pitiful and tough. I’m simply sending you off from this harsh and cruel world. From now on, you will no longer need to feel any joy, anger, sorrow, or frustration from the changes in this world. This is simply my own selfless contribution to you—— and there’s no need for you to repay me”
Gu Qing Shan simply said.
The boy froze.
This was the exact words I told him just now, he’s returning them to me.
—-with my death.
The boy struggled and groaned: “I... don’t... want...”
“To die?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The boy couldn’t say another word so he simply nodded.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and sincerely replied: “All living beings are suffering, so your departure from life is simply happiness. Farewell”
The boy finally displayed a look of despair.
He still wanted to say something else, but his eyes were already covered by the endless darkness.
He died.
