Chapter 1819 Promotion
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“—–stay here and wait for gongzi to arrive”
“At that time, you will once again come into his hands, pass the numerous difficult trials, triumph against all enemies, and then… awaken me again”
…
Standing by the banks of the Forgetting River, Gu Qing Shan silently thought about Shannu.
I know that Chao Yin is hiding within the Forgetting River.
But considering how vast and massive the Forgetting River is, where exactly is Chao Yin?
Gu Qing Shan continued to remain in thought for a while before he thought back to Shannu’s words.
Triumph against all enemies.
And then.
Awaken her.
—–where would these ‘enemies’ come from?
While looking at the continuously crashing waves of the river, Gu Qing Shan became a bit absent-minded.
I originally thought that the Samsara Clash for Supremacy was nothing but a few rounds of combat and murder.
But now, it’s clear that there are too many secrets hidden extremely deep within the Samsara.
The Eternal Mind Seizer’s long years of preparations.
The gathering of the numerous Sequence Envoys.
And the fact that the Delimitation Divine Sword tried to escape from it.
Even the entity who’s taken control over the Samsara and forced a suicidal task on me is also planning something.
—–everything feels like a massive shroud of fog that can’t be peered through.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and decided to stop pondering this matter any further.
He turned his gaze towards the void of space.
Two lines of bloody red text had been floating there this entire time:
[You’ve completed one Entropy Solution, the feedback from Primal Chaos has been accepted]
[When you have free time, the Supreme Sequence will help you absorb this feedback]
Following Gu Qing Shan’s thought, new lines of text began to pop up from the void of space:
[You’ve received the Primal Chaos feedback]
[You obtained the Primal Chaos Reinforcement: Shoulders]
[—–The softness of your shoulders have been increased three-fold]
Reading these notifications, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit speechless.
A silver glow emerged from the void of space before silently vanishing into his body.
Gu Qing Shan examined himself.
His shoulders had certainly become softer, now capable of moving at a greater range compared to before.
However——
“Oi, the last time it was soft hips, now it’s soft shoulders, if this is your so-called ‘Primal Chaos Reinforcement’, isn’t it a bit lame?” he complained.
[You are incorrect] the Supreme Sequence sternly replied: [Primal Chaos is unpredictable, nobody can tell what exactly it would bestow upon you, but Primal Chaos is the absolute truth of ‘eternal destruction’. From a certain standpoint, it is your firmest backing and support, so it will definitely not harm you]
Gu Qing Shan helplessly sighed: “Sure, it wouldn’t harm me—— but I’m a man, why would I need my body to be so soft for?”
[You are incorrect again, in truth, you are a boy1] the Sequence corrected him.
Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth, but found himself unable to refute that in any way.
A second later, a small golden glow emerged and entered Gu Qing Shan’s body as well.
[You obtained the Primal Chaos Reinforcement: Iron Head]
[—-Your head is extremely sturdy, even a Divine Artifact wouldn’t be able to arbitrarily damage it at all]
Reading this notification, Gu Qing Shan finally felt a bit excited.
He couldn’t help but draw the Delimitation Divine Sword and tried using it to cut the top of his head.
Almost instantly——-
His skin was cut and blood began to flow.
What!?
Am I supposed to have [Iron Head]?
Why am I bleeding?
The Delimitation Divine Sword suddenly exclaimed: 「 Huh? How come your head is so tough? 」
Gu Qing Shan paused and asked: “Is it actually tough?”
「 It is. You’ve forgotten, but I possess the [All Things Perish] Thaumaturgy; if it was anyone else, they would already be bleeding a river, while you only got a small cut 」the Delimitation Divine Sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
That’s true.
I’m troubled by so many useless thoughts right now that I forgot such a basic thing.
He sighed and took flight, seemingly trying to fly into the Forgetting River.
“Rhode, what are you doing?”
A female voice called out from behind him.
Gu Qing Shan stopped and turned around: “Xiao Lang, it’s not time to cook yet, so I wanted to take a stroll along the Forgetting River”
“You can’t” Xiao Lang shook her head.
“Why not?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“The Forgetting River belongs to the Forgetting River Department, but you’re a dead person from the Hells Department, so how can you come and go so arbitrarily? If you aren’t careful, they might even kick you into the Forgetting River itself” Xiao Lang explained.
Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in surprise: “Is everyone really that territorial in Huang Quan?”
Xiao Lang replied: “Have you ever seen anyone else come to Hell? Even the Hall of Reincarnation, aside from the main hall and the two side halls on the left and right, forbid entry to all outsiders. None of the Departments would allow outsiders to enter their territories”
That’s troublesome, if I can’t go near the Forgetting River, how am I supposed to search for Chao Yin?
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Is there really nothing that can be done about this?”
Xiao Lang replied: “There is one way, if a high-ranking Deity personally issued a request, the other Departments would naturally send someone out to personally give them reception”
“A high-ranking Deity——-”
“That’s right, take a look at Liu Li and I. Since we now have Merits, we’ve both returned to the rank of Partial Deity2”
Partial Deity?
The rank of Partial Deity was already enough for them to jointly perform a Divine Skill to pull me back here from the Boundless Void?
How impressive.
Wanting to confirm, Gu Qing Shan tried asking: “Then… What’s my current rank?”
Xiao Lang replied with a stern expression: “Since you’ve only just arrived without ever being promoted before, you’re a Minor Devil”
…a Minor Devil.
I heard that the Forgetting River Department lies under the water of the Forgetting River, within an isolated world inside of the river.
And since I’m only a Minor Devil right now, if I fly above the Forgetting River without reason, it’s very possible for a Deity to jump out of nowhere and kick me into the Forgetting River, sending me straight into reincarnation.
Gu Qing Shan called out without changing his expression: “Merit Accountant, display my Merits”
A series of numbers lit up above his head: [382,640]
Over 380 thousand Merits.
Xiao Lang smiled: “That’s quite decent, our earnings over the last 2 days have been very good, you should go to the Hall of Reincarnation to promote your Deific Authority right away”
“Which rank would I be able to reach?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“You can skip over two entire ranks and become a Great Devil” Xiao Lang replied.
“Only a Great Devil huh” Gu Qing Shan muttered with a disappointed tone.
“Don’t be so greedy, the rank after Great Devil would be Daemon; at that time, you would have officially become a Deity”
Minor Devil, Devil Soldier, Devil General, Great Devil, Daemon, Partial Deity, Virtuous Deity, and High Deity.
These were the official Deity ranks of the Huang Quan world.
Minor Devil, Devil Soldier, Devil General, and Great Devil were all considered to be mortal beings, not Deities.
Only after becoming a Deity would one receive the protection of Huang Quan and become greatly more powerful.
“Can a Great Devil stroll the Forgetting River?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Barely qualify, I guess, as long as you don’t make too much noise or have a bad attitude, people usually won’t say anything”
“Then I’ll go and get promoted to Great Devil”
“Uhm, Liu Li and I will be waiting for you to come back and cook”
“…Got it”
…
Gu Qing Shan was now standing at the center of the Merits Hall, solemnly preparing to hear a Daemon explain how he could be promoted.
“Alright, we’re now about to conduct the ceremony to promote you to Great Devil, are you ready?” the Daemon official asked.
“I understand” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The official carried a chair over and placed it next to Gu Qing Shan before climbing onto it.
“What are you doing?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Give me a moment—–”
After saying that, the official climbed on top of the chair and waved his hand above Gu Qing Shan’s head.
A series of glowing numbers appeared:
[382,640]
This was the number displayed by the Merit Accountant machine.
The official then tapped the number and called out: “Change to the Great Devil special effects”
Ding!
With a chime, the Merit Accountant deducted 300 thousand Merits from him and the white glow of his number faded away.
It was now glowing green instead.
“Why is it green?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Yeah, the glow for Great Devil is green”
The official dusted his hands and climbed down the chair.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “So 300 thousand Merits was just to change the light to green?”
“—–That’s already quite significant, without becoming a Deity, any ‘Devil’ rank is still only a mortal being after all” the official answered.
He then continued: “Keep in mind, the next time you’re here will be your promotion to Daemon”
“At that time, you will enter an intermediary state between a mortal and heavenly being”
“Huang Quan will then manifest a Huang Quan Divine Skill for you in accordance with your will and abilities”
“So you must know exactly what you want in your mind”
“Once you’re promoted to Daemon, the Divine Skill will naturally manifest in your body”
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “Wait a moment—— you mean we’ll be able to awaken a Huang Quan Divine Skill?”
“Yup, as you continue to promote your Deific Authority to a higher level, your Huang Quan Divine Skill will also grow increasingly stronger” the Daemon official explained.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
This is…
Why is it so similar to the Human realm?
Back in the Human realm, Chosen Saints must also continuously promote their Samsara Divine Skills through Merit.
“Alright, Rhode, you may leave now” the official told him while smiling brightly.
Ever since Hell and the Hall of Reincarnation cooperated to earn Merits, their people’s attitude towards him had gotten much better.
“See you later!” Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist.
He walked out of the Hall of Reincarnation and took flight, instantly appearing above the Forgetting River with a flash.
“Delimitation”
「 I’m here 」
A golden-jade sword appeared next to him, which he tightly grasped.
After pondering over it several times, Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Let us take a look and see where exactly in the Forgetting River is Chao Yin”
He then brandished the sword while infusing it with power——-
Thaumaturgy, [Behold]!
[Behold: Regardless of location, observe all that had ever occurred and witness any secrets hidden within any void of space]
Instantly, various illusory images manifested around Gu Qing Shan, which then condensed to display a past vision of the Forgetting River.
Very quickly, the flow of countless treasures once again descended from the sky.
The past was showing itself once more.
“Too eye-catching, we can’t let others see this”
Gu Qing Shan brandished the sword again.
[All-Encompassing Sword Realm]——
Both he and the vision of the past then vanished into the void of space, completely out of sight.
