Chapter 1850 - 1850: Ambush
A fireball hovered in mid-air.
Yu stepped forward and extinguished the fireball by grabbing it with her hand, then shook her head: “Power limited, becomes less as more is used, weaken with time”
– – -Magic was abandoned.
As soon as a skull imbued with a ferocious aura was taken out, Yu swiftly took it away.
She flipped the skull back and forth before speaking: “Beast soul return after long use, will lash back”
Crack!
The skull was crushed.
The ape person standing next to her cried out in loss.
– -Savagery was abandoned.
A burly ape person walked up to the platform, uttered a battle cry, then smashed a thick tree trunk in half with their bare hands.
This time, Yu pondered for a while before speaking: “Strengthen the self, but crude and simple”
The burly ape person was still a bit unsatisfied, but as Yu glared at them, they were scared into stepping back before getting off the platform.
– – -Martial Arts was abandoned.
At this point, Yu loudly declared: “From me, called Spirits, is true power”
The crowd of ape people exchanged glances.
Language had only just been created, everyone still has some trouble communicating with one another, so they weren’t sure what she meant by that.
Yu thought briefly, then pulled out a rock dagger to prick her finger, after which she swiftly drew a pattern on her face using that blood.
After drawing, she uttered: “Come!”
The void of space broke open.
A small blue bird emerged from the void of space and landed on Yu’s hand.
“Look!” Yu proudly said.
The ape people were even more confused.
They truly had no idea what just happened.
Even the old pixie who was hiding above the trees had to try on various kinds of spectacles from a bag he took out of nowhere.
“Hah, what exactly did she summon, I can’t see it” the old pixie rapidly changed one pair of glasses for another while asking Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the blue bird on Yu’s hand before speaking: “A Spirit——- a Phase Realm Spirit”
Hearing that, the old pixie rummaged through his bag before finally taking out a pair of spectacles with crescent moon frames.
He finally saw the blue bird.
“Being capable of summoning Spirits after just becoming a Professionist, what horrifying latent potential…”
The old pixie solemnly commented.
– – -within the Boundless Void, why are entities only categorized as ‘beatable’ and ‘unbeatable’?
Regardless which type of civilization one belongs to, as well as which level one is within that civilization, the only way to determine superiority against a Mysticism or Occultism civilization is through a battle to the death.
Some Combatants can’t even observe Phase Realms even if it took their entire lives, let alone learning how to use Realm Force, release Spirit Skills, or even summon Spirits.
These are only the most basic abilities for Occultism.
There are many more incomprehensible things that most can’t even begin to wrap their heads around, let alone categorizing them into strict power levels.
Most civilizations can only put all of these under the same namesake.
– – -Occultism.
This is truly an unreasonable fact.
Just like how it’s unreasonable to freeze in the middle of summer.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and shook his head: “She will become very powerful, but other than her, how many individuals within the ape people tribe would be able to reach that level?”
The old pixie also agreed and said: “Within the Boundless Void as a whole, the number of Professionists capable of summoning Spirits can be counted on one hand—— it’s unrealistic for her to want to use Occultism as the foundation of a civilization”
Back on the platform, Yu’s expression also changed.
-naturally, she had just realized this issue as well.
Occultism is powerful, that’s undoubtedly the case.
I’ve fully mapped out the plans to nurture everyone, everything from resource usage to division ofability, down to even the specific steps. – -but there’s nobody in the tribe that can reach that level.
That’s trouble.
“Dismiss”
Yu said with a pale expression.
She swiftly leapt up.
The blue bird transformed into a large hawk that carried her away with loud exclamations from the crowd.
“Let’s follow and watch” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Hm” the old pixie replied.
The two of them silently disappeared into the void of space while following Yu, up until they reached the depths of the forest.
There was a tall mountain here.
Yu lightly landed on top of the mountain and silently observed the world below.
“What’s she doing?” the old pixie asked.
“Thinking about the future of the ape people” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Day gradually became night.
As night passed, dawn gradually arrived to signal a new day, two days passed just like that
Yu simply stood on the top of the mountain, deep in thought.
– -choosing the path for civilization is easier said than done.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh and wave his hand, once again granting several dozen more blessings.
Invisibly, Yu was imbued with more power.
She was still deep in thought.
Several days later.
Yu’s expression abruptly changed.
She seemed to have thought something through, as her expression was one of joy combined with hesitation and sorrow.
Gu Qing Shan naturally noticed her change and couldn’t help but mutter:
“Now what did you come up with…”
Yu now took out the stone dagger from behind her back and began to silently chant.
As Gu Qing Shan was observing this, an abrupt change occurred– –
Several lines of bloody red text suddenly popped up in the void of space:
[Attention!]
[Someone has added a new rule to the Samsara Clash for Supremacy] [All Chosen Saints must participate in a raffle]
[Those who draw the corresponding raffle must immediately halt the profession of their civilization and enter a state of war]
[The raffle will begin in 5 minutes!]
After reading through the messages, Gu Qing Shan understood right away.
– – – – the Heavenly Emperor is playing his hand!
Because I changed the rules of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, he must have realized that I’ve entered the Human realm tomb.
But the Heavenly Emperor can’t determine for sure where I am.
Nor can he come to kill me.
So he added a new rule instead!
My civilization has peacefully developed for several months already.
So there’s nothing unfair about this rule at all!
Gu Qing Shan swiftly thought this through and told the old pixie: “Stay here, I’ll come back after drawing some raffles”
But he instantly froze after saying that.
“Hm? Didn’t you say you had to go draw a raffle? Why aren’t you leaving?” the old pixie asked in surprise.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a few moments before hesitantly saying: “…When it comes to the previous Heavenly Emperor, he had remained in an unbeatable position every time he acted up until now, so his plans are definitely not so simple…”
“Have you come up with any countermeasures?” the old pixie asked.
Gu Qing Shan turned to him and smiled: “You are my countermeasure”
“Me?” the old pixie pointed at his nose.
“That’s right, I led you into the Samsara, then participated in the Clash through playing dirty—- in other words, you are the single unpredictable factor”
“Am I that impressive?” the old pixie happily asked.
“You are. You should go draw the raffle instead, I’ll stay here in the ape people world, just in case” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“We pixies love drawing raffles- but my current body is a bit too small,
I won’t be as stylish as the others—– let me change it up”
After saying that, the old pixie used his short stick to poke himself.
A twin-headed giant appeared.
“Why a twin-headed giant?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
The left head of the twin-headed giant replied in an excited tone: It’s super fun to argue with yourself. I’ll be performing that stunt for everyone during the raffle J
“…Will that do any good?” Gu Qing Shan respectfully asked.
The right head of the twin-headed giant boastfully replied: “I’ll be throwing a tantrum, stalling, and arguing with myself the entire time, delaying the draw of the raffle for about 30-40 years, that should buy you enough time”
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
–it was only now that he finally realized just how brilliant a move it was when he decided to ask a pixie for help.
After 5 minutes, both of them appeared startled.
They had sensed the summon of the Samsara.
r “I’m going” ] both heads of the twin-headed giant spoke at the same time.
“Have fun, but stay safe” Gu Qing Shan said.
The twin-headed giant gave him a wink and vanished without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan thought over their whole plan once again to assure himself that there were no issues, then turned his attention back to Yu.
At this point, Yu had thrown her dagger to the ground with a lonely expression on her face.
What happened to her?
As Gu Qing Shan was feeling curious, more bloody red text suddenly popped up:
[Attention!]
[Another rule has been added to the Samsara Clash for Supremacy]
[All civilizations must undergo a baptism by Apocalypse, speeding up the competition between Chosen Saints]
Gu Qing Shan was shaken.
– —-as expected!
This time as well, the Heavenly Emperor employed a plan within a plan.
He first sent all Chosen Saints away to draw raffles, then immediately used an Apocalypse to clean up all civilizations.
The first rule change came from Gu Qing Shan.
In other words, the civilization headed by Gu Qing Shan should still be in an infantile state.
If Gu Qing Shan was forced to draw raffles, since his civilization had only just formed, it shouldn’t be strong enough to endure an Apocalypse.bender
Even if it could, as soon as the raffle was over, it would have to go to war against another civilization right away.
– – -it was essentially foolproof!
Gu Qing Shan looked up at the sky.
Only to see that the sky had turned into an eerie black and purple shade.
[Attention]
[An Apocalypse is about to descend upon your civilization]
[Once a civilization has been destroyed by an Apocalypse, the Chosen Saint will also be subjected to the following outcome under the new rules]
– – -Elimination! ]
