————————–
On the small planet.
Laura was sticking to Gu Qing Shan like a small fluffy pet.
“Ooouuu, Gu Qing Shan, your story with Anna was such a tear-jerker, just leave Anna’s wedding dress and everything else to me”
“Oouuu, Gu Qing Shan, how are you still alive? I couldn’t see anything and only heard the sound of battle, as well as the sound of you coughing up blood”
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “Did I make a sound when I cough up blood?”
“Pff!” Laura imitated him, then continued: “At the time, I had imagined how terrible you’d look, being beaten to a pulp or something similar, so I was really nervous, but now that I take a look—– you’re still perfectly ok”
“—–I’m so surprised!”
Gu Qing Shan: “...Alright, let’s talk more a bit later”
He carried Laura up and turned to the skeleton.
—–he doesn’t know how to introduce the two parties.
However, since this existence had personally brough Laura here, she definitely has something to tell me.
Very unexpectedly, the skeleton had looked at him first and offered a cigarette.
“No thanks, I rarely smoke” Gu Qing Shan refused.
The skeleton then lit one for itself, took a deep drag, then told them:
「 There’s something that was going to occur right away, so I’m going to tell you everything you need to know about it first 」
“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The skeleton explained: 「 I had purposely concealed the battle earlier to ensure that none of those peeping toms, who were hiding in the void, would witness the entire process——- but since the Apocalypses had left, they would know that it had ended very soon 」
“Peeping toms? Who?” Gu Qing Shan asked with a surprised tone.
「 Those powerful fellows in the Samsara who had faked their deaths 」the skeleton answered.
Gu Qing Shan furrowed his eyebrows.
He recalled the Samsara War Shaman.
Powerful fellows at the same level as him...
——that can’t be right, I heard that they had already faked their deaths, how are they still peeping at what was going on in this place?
Perhaps knowing what he was thinking, the skeleton chuckled and told him: 「 The Awaitings had already bet whatever they had left on the line, but the Samsara fellows weren’t the same. They know how to fake death in order to avoid the calamities, so they naturally also know how to pay attention to the outside world in order to prevent themselves from being ambushed by any Apocalypses 」
“In other words, they’ve actually been observing the battle the entire time without doing anything?” Gu Qing Shan exclaimed.
「 That’s right, but I didn’t let them see anything, so they only knew that the Apocalypses had left 」the skeleton replied.
She added: 「 Gu Qing Shan, I’ve also helped you hide your Wraith realm status earlier in order to prevent them from silently tripping you up 」
“Thank you, esteemed lady” Gu Qing Shan mused: “Their thought process could also be guessed somewhat, since the current situation was one where they had to show up no matter what—— after all, the Apocalypses had only just fled. Once the Apocalypses had made more preparations and tried to attack this place once again, the Reality Gate wouldn’t be able to hold them back”
「 Exactly, so those Samsara fellows are going to attempt something very soon, care to take a guess of what that could be? 」 the skeleton asked.
“They’d trigger the Samsara Clash for Supremacy?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Indeed, they’ve realized that there is no longer any room for avoidance, so they are going to forcefully trigger the Samsara Clash for Supremacy right away 」the skeleton confirmed.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit glad.
—–finally, I managed to change the future.
The Samsara Clash for Supremacy would begin right now.
Perhaps the Samsara might evolve again and become stronger, enough to fight the Apocalypse.
The skeleton looked at Gu Qing Shan.
She took another deep drag of smoke and breathed out into a thick fog.
——-her hoarse tone was growing a bit unsure:
「 Gu Qing Shan, don’t be happy just set—– all the Chosen Saints of the six Samsara realms would have to agree in order for the Samsara Clash for Supremacy to truly begin 」
Gu Qing Shan didn’t really understand and just shrugged: “When the circumstances had gotten this terrible, would there still be someone who refused to agree?”
The skeleton remained silent for a bit and finally said: 「 It’s going to start now 」
The sound of heavenly arias suddenly resounded throughout the void of space.
Numerous heavenly girls began to sing.
As Gu Qing Shan took a careful look, he saw six different colors of light in the sky.
The skeleton told him with some slight interest: 「 These six lights had appeared in every world, what an unprecedented level of prosperity 」
“Do you know about this?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Of course, take a look up there. The gloomy white light represents the Heaven realm, the green light represents the Asura realm, the faint yellow fog represents the Huang Quan realm, the deep blue hue represents the Human realm, bright red represents the Beast King realm, and black represents the Wraith realm 」the skeleton recited like she knew it like the back of her hand.
She seemed to have realized something and explained: 「 Of course, according to the rules, I can’t interfere with anything relating to the Samsara 」
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then noticed something and suddenly looked up.
A figure descended from the sky.
Xie Dao Ling.
Bai Hua Fairy, Xie Dao Ling.
Seeing her, Laura couldn’t help but mutter: “Whoa, Gu Qing Shan, that woman is so beautiful”
Xie Dao Ling looked at Laura.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said: “Don’t be ridiculous, this is my Shifu, Xie Dao Ling—— Shifu, this is my friend, Laura”
Laura jumped out from Gu Qing Shan’s chest and imitated cultivators’ etiquette, clasping her fist in greeting: “Greetings, Shifu”
Xie Dao Ling returned her greeting and said: “No need for such formalities, you are not a disciple of Bai Hua sect, there’s no need for you to call me Shifu”
Laura grandly proposed without hesitation: “I’m Gu Qing Shan’s younger sister, so you can consider me halfway a disciple of Bai Hua sect already. If Shifu is willing to take me in, I’ll make sure to provide all the cultivation resources for Bai Hua sect from now on”
Xie Dao Ling smiled and stroked Laura’s head: “What an adorable young girl. Let’s leave the disciple matter for later, Gu Qing Shan and I have something we need to deal with right now”
Laura nodded in understanding and retreated.
Xie Dao Ling then turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan smirked: “Shifu, how was it? I did say that I was 60% confident”
Xie Dao Ling’s expression slowly displayed a smile.
This was a smile that contained delight, pride, as well as genuine happiness. Gu Qing Shan had almost never seen her smile like that ever before.
“Qing Shan, you truly are so capable now” Xie Dao Ling sighed.
She turned to the skeleton and respectfully greeted it: “Senior, thank you for helping my disciple in this battle”
The skeleton curtly replied: 「 No need to thank me, I’ve been observing the matters of the Samsara— your trouble will be here soon 」
Xie Dao Ling smiled and replied: “It’s nothing big at all”
Gu Qing Shan looked at the skeleton, then back at Xie Dao Ling.
——what’s going on?
He was a bit clueless.
But neither the skeleton nor Xie Dao Ling said anything else.
Xie Dao Ling naturally saw the unease on Gu Qing Shan’s expression, so she changed the subject: “Shroud is currently keeping the Reality Gate closed, someone must remain there to stand guard”
As Gu Qing Shan was about to say something, the six lights in the sky abruptly grew more intense and filled the entire sky above.
A dignified, solemn voice echoed:
“I am the master of the nine Great Heavenly Palaces, Grand Emperor of the Heaven realm”
“To fight the Apocalypse, all living beings must immediately awaken, as the Samsara Clash for Supremacy is about to begin!”
After his voice, powerful presences could be felt radiating from the other lights as well.
Each of these presences represented a legendary powerful existence emerging from their slumber.
“As the Grand Emperor decrees!”
The voices of powerful Combatants echoed and resonated from within the lights that represented the six realms.
Gu Qing Shan took note and saw that the black light representing the Wraith realm had remained completely silent throughout the entire process.
——as expected, all the Wraiths were already dead huh?
All of a sudden, Tianma women appeared from the void of space one after another.
Li An and the Progenitor Fiendess both stood side by side with Gu Qing Shan.
They both glanced at him, waiting for his words.
Seeing these Tianma women, Xie Dao Ling narrowed her eyes.
“Tianma... what are you trying to do, coming to my disciple?”
『 He had made an agreement with us 』the Progenitor Fiendess replied.
None of the other Tianma said anything at all.
—–they had been hiding in the void of space, watching the entire battle from the beginning, so they knew very well how powerful this woman was.
Gu Qing Shan’s Shifu was capable of helping that giant close the Reality Gate.
This level of power wasn’t something you’d come across every day.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and told Xie Dao Ling: “It’s ok, they had helped me greatly”
Although the Tianma only acted a single time, they had done it at a pivotal moment and produced exceptional results.
Seeing Xie Dao Ling’s uneasy expression, Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to explain everything to her from the beginning.
After listening to him, Xie Dao Ling’s dangerous presence finally subsided.
She gently smiled and said: “Tianma... I know that you all have many plots and schemes, but if anything happens to my disciple, I’ll make sure you go extinct”
The Tianma remained completely silent.
Laura looked at the Tianma, then at Gu Qing Shan who was uncharacteristically passive, and finally at Xie Dao Ling.
“So cool...” her eyes were flickering with admiration.
Gu Qing Shan finally said: “It’ll be ok. When everything begins later, all the Tianma will stay with me”
The Progenitor Fiendess smiled in satisfaction.
The Tianma women also sighed in relief.
At this point, the six lights in the sky had gotten incredibly bright, exuding a mysterious solemnity and dignity that made it so that mortals couldn’t bear to look straight at it.
The Grand Emperor of the Heaven realm spoke again:
“Current Chosen Saint of the Huang Quan realm, Gu Qing Shan. You have fought the Apocalypse and made great contributions, this Emperor shall bestow you an Immortal Armament and Immortal Armor, as well as the title of Heaven realm General”
Immediately countless praises and discussions could be heard from the six lights.
“Hurry and response” Xie Dao Ling reminded him in a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan immediately clasped his fist and loudly replied: “Thank you, Grand Emperor!”
——who would have thought I’d get some benefit from this as well, how surprising.
While he was feeling delighted, the Grand Emperor’s voice continued:
“Current Chosen Saint of the Heaven realm, Xie Dao Ling. You fought through numerous worlds and closed the Reality Gate, buying time for the Samsara, this Emperor shall bestow you the position of the sixth palace’s royal consort, as well as your own past life’s soul fragment.
The voices within the six lights became louder.
—–all of them were cheers and congratulations.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression became frozen.
The sixth palace’s royal consort?
He looked at Xie Dao Ling.
Xie Dao Ling’s expression was also full of annoyance, when she saw him asking through his eyes, she sent her voice: “My past life’s soul fragment lies in his hand, so I have no choice but to do it”
At the very instant, Gu Qing Shan finally understood what the skeleton was talking about earlier.
Everything became clear to him.
——when the Apocalypse was rampaging, these Samsara guys had remained hidden and ignored everything, silently accumulating their strength.
When everything had just been resolved, they all emerge to receive the spoils of war.
Isn’t Gu Qing Shan a really good fighter?
Induct him as a servant of the Heaven realm.
Isn’t Xie Dao Ling powerful?”
Use the soul fragment of her past life to restrain her!
As if that’s not enough, he even wanted to take her in as his consort.
Tsk.
That’s quite a ploy!
Gu Qing Shan’s expression went stiff and sent his voice: “Shifu, just by sensing his presence, I can tell that we wouldn’t be his match, if he tries to take advantage of you...”
Xie Dao Ling coldly replied: “Don’t worry, I won’t actually accept this consort position, your Shifu can handle this”
Handle this?
With those ancient foxes who were numerous years in age that immediately triggered the Samsara Clash for Supremacy as soon as they saw the Apocalypse leave?
They’ve even made sure to prepare Shifu’s soul fragment.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
While he was thinking, a skeletal hand reached out towards him.
The skeletal hand was holding a cigarette.
“Thank you”
This time, Gu Qing Shan accepted the cigarette.
He lit it up, then took a deep drag.
The Grand Emperor loudly declared again:
“After countless years, we’ve finished the numerous preparations for the Samsara Clash for Supremacy”
“Following the rules, as the Chosen Saints of each realm make their declaration, the Samsara Clash for Supremacy would official begin”
“The incantation is a single word: Begin. Speak it with conviction so that the Samsara’s Origin recognizes it”
“With the responsibility of ruling the Heaven realm, this Emperor orders the Samsara: Begin!”
The white light in the sky abruptly became brighter.
Numerous powerful presences declared at the same time: “Begin!”
But the white light remained there without moving to the next realm.
“Xie Dao Ling?” the Grand Emperor’s voice echoed.
After remaining silent, Xie Dao Ling uttered a curt word:
“Begin”
Following that, from the green light, faint yellow light, deep blue light, and crimson light, numerous entities declared with a resounding tone:
“Begin!”
“I say, Begin!”
“Ahahaha, the Age of the Samsara is here, Begin!”
“Begin!!!”
The light in the sky shined bright one after another, slowly melding into a huge singular mass.
——the Samsara Clash for Supremacy is about to begin!
On the small planet, Gu Qing Shan observed this and sighed, commenting: “Shifu, I usually don’t swear, but I really want to swear at someone right now”
“It’s ok, the big picture is more important” Xie Dao Ling looked at him and signaled for him to stay calm.
Gu Qing Shan was still unable to calm down.
The Samsara Clash for Supremacy had been something that I hoped to happen.
I’ve been risking my life over and over this entire time, wasn’t it in order to help Shifu?
And these old cunts had been hiding in the shadows, preparing to deal with me and Shifu.
They’ve most likely laid everything out clearly in the upcoming Samsara Clash for Supremacy as well.
Damn it!
Gu Qing Shan took a deep drag of the cigarette smoke and breathed out, feeling the violent emotions welling up inside him more and more.
At this point, the Chosen Saints of all the other realms had already made their declarations.
All the worlds became silent again.
The powerful entities of the Samsara were waiting for their era to begin.
Suddenly, the Grand Emperor’s voice echoed through all the worlds again:
“The Samsara Clash for Supremacy still hasn’t begun!”
“—-the Wraith realm! How come the Chosen Saint of the Wraith realm had not made their declaration yet?”
The Samsara Combatants in all the worlds began to complain:
“Hurry and say ‘Begin'”
“Just say Begin to express your agreement”
“There’s only a single person in the Wraith realm, can’t you even do that?”
“Just say ‘Begin’!”
A few moments later.
A single voice resounded from a small planet:
“Begin my goddamn ass, fuck you, don’t begin!”
