Chapter 1162: The Demon Dragon’s entrustment (3)

A frigid snowy night.

The sun of a new day slowly rose.

The entire world was immersed in a crimson red hue.

On the roof of a skyscraper, a certain orange cat sat on the edge of the building focused on observing the scene below.

Behind him, an autumn clear blue steel sword hung in mid-air.

“Gongzi...” Shannu’s voice resounded in the orange cat’s Thought Sea.

“Hm?”

“Wouldn’t it be bad if we stay here like this without leaving?”

“What do you mean?”

“Right now, Barry is stalling the Soul Shrieker, but with how strong the Soul Shrieker is, Barry might not be able to endure for a long time” Shannu was worried.

The orange cat yawned, then couldn’t help but lick his front paw.

—–wait, I’m not a real cat, why do I have to do this?

The orange cat awkwardly put his paw down and told Shannu: “I entrusted the [Order] to him in order to split the Demon Dragon and Soul Shrieker up, his ability is another layer of protection, but he doesn’t actually need to fight the Soul Shrieker”

“Huh? Gongzi, I don’t understand” Shannu said with clear confusion.

The orange cat didn’t turn around and simply asked: “Shannu, if we return to the battlefield, what point in time do you think I’ll travel to?”

“Of course you would——–”

Shannu was about to answer, but then realized.

That’s right...

Gongzi would only need to return to that exact moment in time before Barry and Soul Shrieker began their battle.

At that point in the timeline, the Demon Dragon had already left with gongzi, while the Soul Shrieker remained by itself.

From the perspective of Barry and the rest, Gu Qing Shan had suddenly fled and then suddenly returned.

But the Demon Dragon could no longer return to that point in time.

That is truly...

“So that’s how it was” Shannu smiled with assurance, “That’s why gongzi can remain here and leisurely absorb the Demon Dragon’s power, after all once it has been converted into your own, it still wouldn’t be too late to return to the moment of the Spire’s destruction”

While observing the entire city, the orange cat’s gaze landed into that secluded alleyway.

“Other than absorbing his power, there is something else that I’m not done with...” he muttered in a low voice.

“There was something else?” Shannu asked in surprise.

Gu Qing Shan retracted his inner sight and shifted his attention to his Thought Sea.

The three Space-Time Coins were hovering in his Thought Sea.

They were giving off a faint vibrating noise as if asking for something.

——although the War God UI had briefly stated the three coins’ usage, there were no specific descriptions of their abilities.

A Divine Armament must inform the user of its own abilities on its own accord for them to fully exert their powers.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword was this way, so were the twin swords Heaven and Earth.

Which meant that the three coins still hadn’t fully accepted Gu Qing Shan.

And just now, they had requested something of him——

[This world is a bit too obsolete, please provide him with a bit of necessary aid]

Necessary aid...

The orange cat narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze to the dirty small alleyway, a few thousand meters away.

A young boy had just finished eating in order to replenish himself, then hid in a corner of the wall with his eyes closed, circulating his energy.

In truth, with Demon Dragon’s mental fortitude and strength, he would very quickly obtain the first burst of power and leap above the realm of ordinary people.

But the three coins were still anxious.

A person like Demon Dragon was recognized by the three coins to this degree, so much that they insist on supporting him even after he had discarded them, which is quite interesting.

The orange cat fell into thought.

Then, what else should I do to help him?

The orange cat looked up and expanded his inner sight to observe this entire world.

Being obsolete... isn’t a huge issue.

The foundational problem of this world is that it doesn’t have any traces of supernatural powers.

In this world, humanity chose to develop their technology because they had no other choice, and only science would be able to help human civilization in growing.

That’s a bit troublesome...

Even someone like Demon Dragon would require a very long process to eventually reach his peak potential in a world like this.

The orange cat pondered, then took a stance where he sat, slightly moving his lower body a bit.

Dance!

After a few moments, the entire world vanished from his sight, while a mass of gloomy light manifested in front of him.

—–the will of this world had arrived.

Whispers resounded from the wind, seemingly explaining something to the orange cat.

Seriously listening to it, the orange cat’s expression turned heavy.

So there was a reason for the three coins’ anxiety.

Demon Dragon would find it next to impossible to surpass this world’s limit of strength.

Because in the distant past, too much of this world’s Origin power had already been spent, it is now unable to create any supernatural force anymore.

—–in truth, the resource of every world was limited.

If a civilization only cared to collect and harvest the world’s resources to the point of openly polluting the sky, sea, and land; and yet does not consider how to recycle and nourish the world, then the other living beings within the world would soon become extinct, with all of the world’s Origin being used up.

——this world would slowly fall to ruin due to the civilization’s blind greed, then eventually destroyed because of it.

The orange cat pondered a bit, then suddenly arched his back and leapt down.

He directly landed in the small alleyway and in front of the boy’s face.

“What is it?”

The boy opened his eyes and curtly asked.

The orange cat pointed at the boy, then meowed to the gloomy light in the void of space.

The gloomy light swiftly entered the boy’s body.

The boy’s complexion instantly became a healthy pink with strength flowing all over his body, as if the sickened state he was in earlier was an illusion.

The boy’s expression changed: “This is the world’s Origin power! How are you able to utilize such power—– wait, why is the will of the world listening to you!?”

Gu Qing Shan’s voice resounded in his ears: “It’s merely a transaction, no need to feel any pressure, you will soon obtain this world’s favor”

“Favor?”

“Indeed, you will soon escape from the shackles of this body, no longer bound by the common rules of this world. The will of the world would focus its effort to help you, allowing you to quickly improve your cultivation and return to your previous self”

The boy didn’t appear glad and instead questioned with an immature voice: “Then, what is the price I need to pay?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “This world is heading towards ruin. During the process of your gradual growth, you need to try and maintain the eco-balance, teach this civilization more advanced and developed knowledge to relieve them of their over-reliance on resources. At the same time, this will aid the recuperation of this world’s Origin power, once again regaining its previous state, or perhaps even evolving to a higher level”

The boy silently sensed the will of the world, paused a bit, then replied: “It’s a very fair transaction, I accept. Then, to what degree would this transaction be considered complete?”

Countless gusts of faint wind drifted around him and the orange cat’s ears, giving its answer.

The orange cat nodded.

The boy also nodded.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the orange sent his voice again: “I’m leaving”

The boy looked at the orange cat again and replied: “We will meet again”

This implied a lot, so the orange cat couldn’t help but smile when hearing it.

At the same time, the three coins in the orange cat’s Thought Sea were giving off the sound of happy vibrations.

They were very pleased with Gu Qing Shan’s arrangement.

Good, then this issue is resolved.

The orange cat nodded at the boy again before reaching his claw out to rip open the void of space,

The world split apart to reveal the dark space vortex.

The orange cat strutted inside.

A few moments later.

The void of space returned to normal.

The boy sat still, feeling inexhaustible strength flowing through his body.

The entire world became lively in his vision.

All of a sudden, a huge commotion was heard all over the alleyway.

A limousine had parked outside the alleyway.

Dozens of experienced men in black suits and sunglasses stepped out from the vehicle.

Followed by a grey-haired old man.

He walked up to the boy, slowly crouched down, and sighed: “The last heir of our great clan, despite being barely five years old, he managed to have escaped while being fully tied up, then hid himself within these slums without being discovered by anyone”

“Grandfather had seen the hope of our clan from you”

He took the boy’s hand and lifted him up.

“It’s alright now, my grandchild, do not worry. Those who dared to harm you have already received their just deserved, grandfather guarantees you that such things will never occur again”

During the entire process, Demon Dragon was completely stunned.

What’s going on here?

The world’s favor?

Without having too much time to think, the old man had already secured him onto a seat at the back of the limousine.

The old man observed him and asked: “Were you bullied? Or faced a lot of hardships?”

The boy casually replied: “It’s all nothing now”

The old man froze, then suddenly laughed out loud.

“Go, we’re going home!”

The vehicle was started up.

The limousine left this alleyway.

Sitting in the warm and comfortable vehicle, the boy silently pondered his issues.

At some point, he muttered: “So, I’ll have to let the... spirit energy... of this world recover?”
