Chapter 1671: Premature comprehension Translator: La0o9

Nighttime.

Somewhere in the barren wasteland.

A campfire was silently crackling as it burned.

Gu Qing Shan, Laura, Liao Xiao Pao, and the bloody giant all sat together around the campfire.

「 Thank you for the treat, that was very delectable 」

The giant wiped its mouth and heartily said its thanks.

A complete set of bull skeletons was sitting behind it.

“You’re welcome, the main reason why I summoned you this time was to ask you about how I should proceed from now on”

The bloody giant was surprised: 「 The Twin Rivers of Life and Death’s Realm Force is very unique. It has a deep connection to Phase Realms, so it’s imperative that you have someone to guide you——- why is there no one acting as your guide? 」

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

——–the Twin Rivers of Life and Death is very deeply connected to Phase Realms. This was the same as what the Master of Valhalla had said.

Gu Qing Shan explained: “The Silent Light Apocalypse had destroyed the Blood Sea Valhalla, the Master of Valhalla is still in slumber, so I had no other choice but to directly summon you and ask what I should do”

Hearing that, the bloody giant shook its head: 「 So that was the case… even the Saint Realm Halo of the past had fallen to this degree, it truly makes one sigh in regret 」 It adjusted its posture, then solemnly explained: 「 From this point on, you will need to firmly grasp every aspect of [Realm Spirit Descent], if you can thoroughly get accustomed to it, you’d be able to improvise in many situations, not even this hunk of metal next to you should be able to do anything against you 」

Gu Qing Shan and Laura both turned to Liao Xiao Pao.

Liao Xiao Pao was unconvinced: “I was passively defending just now, I still haven’t displayed any killer techniques yet”

The giant looked at Liao Xiao Pao and spoke in a profound tone: 「 Your opponent can summon infinite spirits, the longer you fight, the more powerful the spirits he summon would become. How long do you think you can last against that? 」 「 ——Furthermore, the one he killed to reach this world was a realm spirit, but you’re just a mortal. Do you think you can actually win against him with your incomplete spirit? 」

Liao Xiao Pao couldn’t say anything to refute that.

But he quickly thought about how he now had a complete spirit.

——the saintly heroic spirit girl, Tear!

That girl… truly does tickle my fancy… I need to help her repair her world system and gradually gain her affection. Then, how exactly should I do that?

Liao Xiao Pao had fallen into thought.

The giant slowly stood up and looked at Gu Qing Shan, telling him: 「 If there is nothing else, I will return first 」

“Wait a moment” Gu Qing Shan said.

「 What is it? 」

“I still want to better grasp Realm Force—– because I have a lot of matters that I must quickly attend to and have to grow stronger as fast as possible”

The giant shook its head: 「 It is still too early for you to be thinking about such matters. If you insist on trying to enter the next step, you will face extremely dangerous circumstances 」 It reached out and pointed to the world below with its long finger: 「 This world… is actually very dangerous. If you further comprehend the mysteries of power, you will be able to witness more secrets, and there are no guarantees that you’d be able to survive when that happens 」

Gu Qing Shan was stunned and exchanged glances with Laura.

At this point, the sky was completely dark, the wind was gently blowing through their camp.

Other than the crackling of the campfire, everything around them was completely silent.

For some reason, Laura suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She habitually stuck closer to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan lightly patted her head to console her, then continued to ask the giant:

“I would be in more danger if I awakened a new Realm Force? Why is that?”

The giant slowly explained: 「 You are currently still a mortal. Even if you have deific authority, you’re still only a higher form of living being that remains under a world’s jurisdiction; but if you continue to further grasp Realm Force, you will be considered a ‘spirit’ instead of a living being 」 「 Spirits and living beings have a ‘summoner and summoned’ relationship, so normally, living beings are safe under these circumstances; but if you also become a spirit, you would no longer be under any protection 」

Gu Qing Shan carefully digested these words.

The giant continued: 「 To gradually get accustomed to [Realm Spirit Descent] or to take a risk of death and further explore Realm Force. You must quickly make a choice between one of them because I cannot remain here for too long 」

“You said—- that this world is very dangerous, are the worlds further inside no longer dangerous?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The giant replied: 「 They would be even more dangerous——- that is why I suggest that you first leave the Dusty World and thoroughly grasp [Realm Spirit Descent] first, improving your strength step by step, then attempt to explore Realm Force again. This is the relatively most stable method 」

“Only time in the Dusty World would remain relatively stationary. I don’t have the time to go slowly” Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 It would be a shame to die when you’ve reached this level of cultivation, are you sure you want to take such a risk? 」the giant asked.

“I didn’t want to take the risk either, but there are already no other options” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The giant grinned and muttered: 「…As long as you’re already fully aware of the possible risks 」

He walked in front of Gu Qing Shan and lightly tapped each of Gu Qing Shan’s shoulders with one finger.

Two bursts of light suddenly appeared on Gu Qing Shan’s shoulders.

「 This is an attempt at premature comprehension, so it will be very dangerous 」 The giant explained: 「 After one minute, your Realm Force will be stimulated and cause you to fall into a temporary state of spiritualization 」 「 For you personally, this is truly too soon, so you don’t need to think about anything else… 」 「 Just try your best to survive 」 「 Remember, you can summon us to fight any time you wish 」

After saying that, the giant then disappeared.

Only Gu Qing Shan and Laura remained, together with Liao Xiao Pao who was smiling stupidly.

Laura held Gu Qing Shan’s hand and said: “I’ll come with you”

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:

[You’ve come into contact with ‘spiritualization’ ahead of time] [In 30 seconds, you will be temporarily become a spirit, please take care of your own safety]

Safety…

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking that, a flash of light appeared from the watch he received from the leader of the Song and Dance Troupe of Sin.

The flash of light turned into a small humanoid figure and loudly spoke: [The Phase Realm: Clock Tower has sensed your spiritualization] [In 20 seconds, it will overlap with the main world and take you inside] [Attention! This might be a spirit realm war!]

The small figure bowed to Gu Qing Shan before it snuck back inside the watch.

Gu Qing Shan let go of Laura’s hand.

“What’s the matter?” Laura immediately caught his hand again.

“I might have to go somewhere that only spirits can enter” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Laura hurriedly called out: “But that giant earlier said that you might run into danger, if I don’t come with you, how can you be safe?” She thought about it briefly, then clenched her teeth: “Take my umbrella with you”

A small flower umbrella appeared from the void of space, being held in Laura’s hands.

She handed the umbrella to Gu Qing Shan.

Lines of glowing text immediately appeared on the War God UI:

[Laura is presenting ‘Infinite Worlds Shelter’ to you] [If you accept it, you will obtain this ability, whereas she will lose it]

Gu Qing Shan felt moved because of her feelings, but didn’t accept the umbrella and simply stroked Laura’s head.

“Don’t worry, that giant was only exaggerating. I’ve been through plenty of dangerous situations before, I can feel that there won’t be any big issues this time around as well”

He lightly told her.

A vision of light slowly manifested in front of him.

A certain Phase Realm had manifested here and was rapidly approaching Gu Qing Shan.

A sky-high clock tower stood at the very middle of that world.

Numerous souls were being pinned to the outside of the clock tower, continuously moaning and screaming.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly noticed the burly man from before.

That man was killed by a single attack from Liao Xiao Pao, so Gu Qing Shan didn’t expect that his soul would be trapped in a Phase Realm.

He was being tightly pinned to the outside of the tower by a long black spike, some weak light could be seen slowly seeping out from his soul.

Whenever a bit of light seeped out from his soul, the burly man would utter a horrifying scream.

Gu Qing Shan had already awoken [Phase Sight], so he naturally saw this clearly, but Laura and Liao Xiao Pao were both completely clueless.

Noticing that he was looking into the void of space, Laura was a bit startled:

“That’s right, you can see Phase Realms—— will there really be no issues?”

A burst of shrill laughter suddenly erupted from the clock tower.

「 A spirit! A newborn spirit! 」 「 I will definitely not let any part of you go to waste; be it skin, bones, or otherwise! 」 「 ——-I will completely devour you whole! 」

Gu Qing Shan’s expression remained unchanged and continued to stroke Laura’s head: “Yeah, I can already see that world. It’s a Phase Realm under the rule of a high-class chef, and he has issued a challenge for me to compete in cooking skills against him”

“Is that so? I think you’ll win against him very easily” Laura sighed in relief and smiled.

In the Phase Realm, numerous terrifying monsters emerged from the ground all around the clock tower.

Their bodies were already rotten, exposing their bones in numerous places.

These monsters were staring closely at Gu Qing Shan, silently waiting for the two worlds to overlap.

——–there were 5 seconds left!

“I’m very confident in my skills, but the other party seemed to have prepared ingredients ahead of time. Regardless, we have to compete first before anything can be concluded” Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve temporarily become a ‘spirit’] [You’re about to enter the Phase Realm: Clock Tower]

“Do your best!” Laura nodded with confidence.

Hoh——

Gu Qing Shan suddenly vanished without a trace.

He had entered the Phase Realm.
