Chapter 1793: Eternal Mind Seizer
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
[You’ve obtained the twice-evolved Heavenly Dharma—–]
[Heaven’s Decree – Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Eyes]
[Unique, Instant Skill]
[Description: Any techniques that can kill you will instead be under your control and attack your enemy, additionally, any enemies you kill while the eye technique was active would be forcefully sent to Huang Quan to undergo reincarnation]
[Whenever you’re in a near-death state, you can invoke this Skill once, each usage would consume half the of the Merits that you currently possess]
[—–Disrespect towards Heaven will be punished]
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
This ability… can only be used while near death, but it’s still extremely powerful.
There used to be a loophole in the Samsara.
—–any outsiders who entered the Samsara would remain under outside control as long as they managed to not reincarnate.
For example, the substitute bodies that were kicked out of Star Gazer city just now.
They were still under the absolute control of the unknown monster and could have been taken over at a moment’s notice.
But now, the Samsara has given me an eye technique that has undergone evolution twice.
——-I can forcefully send anyone I want to head into Huang Quan for reincarnation.
That makes perfect sense.
If that’s the case…
The Samsara is actually borrowing my hands to patch up its previous loophole.
Seems like my victory against the Corruption Sequence raised my standings with the Samsara quite a bit.
While he was thinking, a few more lines of bloody red text appeared in the void of space:
[Compared to any Sequence Envoy, as the successor of the Heavenly Dharma and City Lord of Star Gazer city, you are too weak]
[It isn’t just you, but no Chosen Saint can compare to them at all]
[The Samsara has taken notice of this situation and is currently observing the circumstances with a solemn gaze]
[—–Make sure your performance is good enough and the Samsara might make a decision that would benefit Chosen Saints as a whole]
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded after he finished reading.
It already gave me a Divine Skill.
As well as its attention.
The Samsara has naturally noticed that the Heavenly Emperor is somehow inappropriate.
And now even the Supreme Sequence has given me a reminder.
It seems… I’ll need to make a show out of this…
How should I…
Gu Qing Shan lost himself in his thoughts.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice snapped him out of it:
[The evil creatures are currently making their way back to Star Gazer city]
[Some have already arrived and are requesting an audience with the City Lord]
Gu Qing Shan regained his senses and said: “Alright, bring me there, I should indeed meet them”
He let one of the mechanical arms pick him up and swiftly took him to the mechanical city square within Star Gazer city.
Numerous mechanical parts could be seen moving on his way.
But a large number of areas were still completely greyed out, the strange and advanced technology within them were still sealed off, unable to activate.
A few moments later.
A large hole opened up on the ground of a platform above the city square, from which Gu Qing Shan emerged.
A Gloom Shadow Devil and Blazing Flame Demon were standing below the platform, silently waiting for something.
Gu Qing Shan’s arrival immediately drew their attention.
「 Old Gu, it almost seems like you just kicked everyone who isn’t an evil creature out of the city, doesn’t it? 」the Gloom Shadow Devil laughed.
“Ah, I did. There was a spy among them, but I couldn’t locate him, so I had no choice but to kick them all out” Gu Qing Shan greeted him back.
The Gloom Shadow Devil and Blazing Flame Demon looked at him with highly impressed looks on their faces.
Gu Qing Shan noticed two lines of text hovering above their heads:
[Kicking everyone out just because he couldn’t find the spy? What a madman…]
[Goddamn, old Gu is a real devil among devils]
1
Gu Qing Shan discreetly shook his head.
I just instinctively used [Overlooking Soul].
It seems my nerves have been stretched quite thin recently.
Following his original plans, Gu Qing Shan would have kicked everyone out.
But he gave up on that idea at the very last moment.
——-these evil creatures were all old acquaintances and friends, so kicking them all out without warning would be a bit awkward.
More importantly, it was me who first called on them for help, and it was all because they put in the effort to gather Merit Stones that this Star Gazer city could finally be built.
If I want to do this——
It’s best that I do a serious filtration of members, even if I have to use up all of the remaining Merits that I have.
“Alright, let us wait for a little bit, you two, we’ll begin once everyone have gathered” Gu Qing Shan said.
The two old evil creatures nodded with understanding and left things to his discretion.
After waiting for a while.
Everyone had finally gathered.
Standing on the high platform, Gu Qing Shan used a microphone to amplify his voice:
“Alright—– brothers, sisters, and everyone else; I trust that everyone already knows the situation. In order to discern who’s the Heavenly Emperor’s spy, I’ve already kicked all extraneous members out of Star Gazer city”
“And now, to better discern if there’s a spy among us, I’m going to be conducting a second round of filtration”
Filtering spies?
All the evil creatures below immediately felt tense.
Old Gu is a great business partner.
But everyone here have heard of the terrifying things that he was capable of whenever he felt like being cruel.
『 How exactly are we going to discern the spies, old Gu?” 』a Demon King couldn’t help but tried asking.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “No need to worry, I have a flawless solution for this—– everyone will only sweat a little at most”
“But if someone refuses to cooperate and not follow my lead, then don’t blame me for getting heavy-handed”
While keeping the microphone in one hand, he slightly raised his other hand to form a dance posture.
“Now everyone below, just follow my lead——-”
“Music, on~”
Lively music began to play.
Gu Qing Shan first began with wiggling his shoulders, shaking his body, then skillfully moving his feet.
As he danced on stage, the evil creatures below the platform hurriedly copied his dance steps and twisted their bodies as well.
Bsh bsh pow~
Bsh bsh pow~
The Three Lives Dance!
As the music picked up the pace, the evil creatures chaotically danced.
A bunch of Evil Lords, Demon Kings, Beast Saints, and Devil Kings were sweating bullets as they followed Gu Qing Shan’s dance.
—–it couldn’t be helped, old Gu already made it very clear that not dancing means you’re automatically a spy.
Everyone was just moving their bodies as much as possible without actually caring about how good their postures looked.
As long as they kept dancing.
Among the evil creatures, the only one whose dance actually looked good was Li An.
——she was originally a descendant of the old heavenly beings, and being a Tianma, she had experience with alluring living beings.
On the platform.
Numerous images were flashing in and out of Gu Qing Shan’s vision.
These images were the three lives of each evil creature, but no one could see them except Gu Qing Shan, who was relying on the power of the Sacrificial Dance to sneak short glimpses into them.
The dance was eventually finished.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the void of space in front of his vision.
Two lines of bloody red text remained there:
[Your Merits have been nearly exhausted]
[Remaining Merits: 3]
Only three Merits remain.
But then again, [Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Eyes] doesn’t require a specific amount of Merits, it only says that I’ll spend half of my Merit every time I use it.
In that case——
I can use it twice?
That should be enough!
Gu Qing Shan stopped dancing and wiped the sweat from his face with a towel before pointing at a few evil creatures:
“Kick”
Almost instantly, all the evil creatures that he picked out vanished from Star Gazer city.
While the evil creatures were silently feeling cautious, Gu Qing Shan laughed heartily and waved his hand dismissively: “Alright everyone, all the spies have been kicked out, everyone can now freely explore without worry”
All the evil creatures cheered as they slowly stopped feeling in danger.
Gu Qing Shan sent his voice towards Li An: “You should head out first, I have something I need to take care of here”
Noticing his intentions, Li An slightly nodded and vanished after forming a hand seal.
Gu Qing Shan then beckoned the Gloom Shadow Devil from earlier to come closer:
“Good brother, stay here for a bit, I have something I need to ask you——- everyone else can go”
Only the Gloom Shadow Devil remained.
He curiously asked: 「 Old Gu, what do you want from me? 」
“I wanted to ask you about some methods of acting covertly, no worries, I’ll pay for them, equivalent exchange” Gu Qing Shan said.
「 That’s not a big issue at all, no need to mention money, by the way, how much are you thinking? 」the devil calmed down and casually said.
“Depending on what I learn, you know how I am, no need to worry about that” Gu Qing Shan replied.
As the two of them continued their talk, everyone slowly but surely left the city square.
Gu Qing Shan silently issued a few orders to thoroughly isolate the entire city square.
“Can you demonstrate the basics of Shadow Walking for me? I’m quite interested in this unique ability of your race” Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Sure 」the Gloom Shadow Devil happily agreed.
It then began to demonstrate the footwork as well as explain them one by one.
Gu Qing Shan observed for a while before he silently called out:
“Supreme Sequence”
[What is it?] the Sequence answered.
Gu Qing Shan silently said: “Now you can tell me, what exactly was that monster?”
[If I invoke that monster’s name, it will immediately sense it and personally arrive to kill you] the Sequence replied.
“No worries” Gu Qing Shan stared straight at the Gloom Shadow Devil and muttered: “There’s a reason I specifically left one substitute body for it to use right here”
[Are you sure?] the Sequence asked.
“Enough to give it a try”Gu Qing Shan replied.
After a short pause, the Sequence answered: [Very well]
Lines of bloody text then began to appear in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision:
[We’ve witnessed a terror from legends of the ancient past]
[The Sequence has confirmed beyond a doubt that the legends were not false]
[That monster—–]
[It is the Demon of magic’s decline, the Body-collecting Insect, Lord of all living beings’ despair, the void-born Eternal Mind Seizer]
[As soon as you see its name, it will have already sensed you]
Gu Qing Shan suddenly turned to look at the Gloom Shadow Devil.
[Overlooking Soul]!
Empty.
Nothingness.
Nothing could be felt, everything had fallen into what seemed like eternal blankness.
The Gloom Shadow Devil suddenly stopped moving and began to approach Gu Qing Shan.
Its gloomy eyes abruptly turned empty, and the grey fog that surrounded its body began to gather and gently lifted it into the air.
An unnamed presence had manifested around its body.
In an instant, the void of space around them had begun to shift, the entire Star Gazer city was nowhere to be seen.
Countless black tubes started showing up in the world around them, all of which reached endlessly far into the unseen void.
Each of the tubes was connected to a body, which included humans, elves, demons, devils, beasts, monsters, giants…
Countless bodies.
Countless black tubes.
Gu Qing Shan looked around himself and appeared surprised: “Are you sure you want to make such a big scene? I thought you wanted to make me your subordinate”
The Gloom Shadow Devil spoke with an indifferent tone: 「 A dishonest bug like yourself should best become a spare body, only then could I feel assured 」
Boom——–
The Gloom Shadow Devil abruptly began to exert its overwhelming presence.
Gu Qing Shan tried his best to endure it, but couldn’t even stand properly before he was blown away by the strong wind manifested by the presence.
The Gloom Shadow Devil continued to speak with an emotionless cold tone: 「 Gu Qing Shan, your soul will become my sustenance, and your existence itself will belong to me 」
At the very next moment.
It vanished.
