Gu Qing Shan stood still silently.

He felt strange as if his body had just gained ‘something’, but at the same time, this ‘something’ was originally his.

——-a restraint had been released deep inside his soul.

Gu Qing Shan stood without thinking, falling into a deep sense of calmness.

He felt that his thoughts were no longer limited to inside his Thought Sea, but rather it was expanding to the endless void.

This ‘void’ wasn’t the void of space, but rather a type of illusion created from his soul suddenly being released.

In the sky.

The figure of light once again spoke: 「 We hope this blessing will help you, owner of the War God Authority? 」

「 And we hope you will be able to do more in the future, after all, the Apocalypse of the entire 900 million World Layers is approaching 」

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and spoke: “I understand”

The figure said nothing, but Gu Qing Shan felt that it might have smiled at him.

The giant figure slowly became blurred, like a fading projection that melted into the sky and disappeared.

Standing alone on the top of the sea of clouds, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit stunned.

To every cultivator, every Professionist, they’ve all been informed of a certain principle with their first few steps.

Only when you focus on a single skill or domain can you achieve greatness, the more you mix yourself, the more mediocre you will likely become.

The separation of Professions was so clear and concise, that even a peerless genius like Bai Hua Fairy would only glance through the various domains without going too deep into them.

Despite the large number of Divine Skills she had, in the end, she was a spellcaster-type cultivator.

Her most powerful techniques were spells.

But now, a chance had appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The projection left by the Old Gods had told him that he would be able to deeply cultivate any domain, at the same time this won’t affect the improvement of his other domains.

Gu Qing Shan was still a bit unconvinced.

Suddenly, three lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI. historical

[The Gods have released your soul]

[You are no longer bound by the most basic principle of the world]

[You can now study multiple domains, at the same time achieving the pinnacle for each]

The three lines of text quickly faded.

And then more text quickly appeared.

[From now on, you may learn techniques and skills without limit]

[You’ve gained archery skills]

[As the Laws of heaven and earth stood witness when you discarded your archery skills to become a Sword Saint, most of your previous archery skills are now lost]

[The only remaining archery skill left is: Shifting Flurry (Intermediate)]

[Shifting Flurry (Intermediate): Growth Skill, shooting 10 arrows consecutively, attacking an enemy with arrows flying at unpredictable trajectory]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised to see that on the War God UI.

While advancing my swordsmanship, I’ll be able to learn archery skills as well?

Can I… really?

He tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a bow.

This was a simple and plain bow, its presence was so weak it felt like it didn’t exist while being held in Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

No one could sense this bow, nor could they notice any killing intent it gave off.

This was the Night Rain.

In the past, while they were deep inside enemy territory, Heaven’s Limit sect’s Saintess Ning Yue Chen had given this to him. (TN: Her name was translated as Ning Yue Xi before, but that was incorrect)

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and closed his eyes to think.

Apparently… I still remember…

He stopped thinking and took out a quiver of arrows to hang by his waist.

A moment of silence.

He suddenly raised the bow.

The bowstring was strung consecutively like an instrument!

Swish!

Only a single sound came out.

But ten shadows appeared in the sky, drawing a twisting, snake-like trajectory that quickly went into the clouds.

Gu Qing Shan continued to fire.

Shifting Flurry!

Shifting Flurry!

Shifting Flurry!

Countless arrows flew like a meteor shower, howling as they shot towards the ground!

Gu Qing Shan still didn’t stop and shot an entire quiver of arrows at once.

He closed his eyes and carefully sensed himself.

His sword heart was clear and unwavering.

Taking the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in hand, Gu Qing Shan swung out a large white crescent-shaped sword phantom.

No delays, no mistakes.

The power of the sword phantom had increased, the speed at which he swung the sword had also seemed to increased.

This was Gu Qing Shan’s sword skills’ improvement after fighting so many battles recently.

—-his swordsmanship was still swordsmanship, archery was still archery.

Both of these sets of skills didn’t mix or interfere with each other, as if it was natural that they wouldn’t, completely separate.

“This feeling… really is completely new”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Although most of my archery skills are lost now, as long as I want to, can’t they simply be learned again?

I can learn archery, Blade skills, Elemental Lightning spells, or perhaps even Martial Art.

As long as they don’t interfere with my swordsmanship, what is there to fear!

Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about it and suddenly tapped his Inventory Bag.

He took out a jade tag.

A Martial Arts Divine Skill of Bai Hua sect: [Skyfall]

This was a Divine Skill that required no prerequisite to learn, but unfortunately, because Gu Qing Shan was afraid that it might affect his swordsmanship, he didn’t learn it.

The [War God Skills] icon of the War God UI lit up.

A line of glowing text appeared.

[Martial Arts, Divine Skill Skyfall]

[Skyfall: An attack that contained 30 times as much power, breaking the heaven and earth itself, will always hit]

[There are no prerequisites for learning this fist technique]

[Note: The higher your Martial Arts skills are, the stronger this strike becomes]

[Because you haven’t practiced any Martial Arts, learning this Divine Skill requires: 1500 Soul Points]

[Remaining Soul Points: 0/600]

Reading the description of the War God UI, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit regretful.

No Soul Points huh.

But that’s only a small problem.

It was now that Gu Qing Shan finally realized his path had greatly changed.

From now on, nothing will be the same.

Almost immediately, he could already think of many other fighting strategies that he could employ.

There was still a lot of things to do now, he can’t just keep standing here like this.

“I still have business to attend to, let’s leave considering other parts for later”

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and stopped thinking about that.

He stowed the Night Rain away and took out the Chao Yin sword.

“Go tell Laura’s group that they can leave now”

The Chao Yin sword let out a small chime and dashed through the sea of clouds straight into the ocean below.

A few moments later.

Laura, Ilya and the guards all arrived at the surface.

Gu Qing Shan landed.

Everyone was looking around anxiously.

“Where’s the [Demon King Order]?” Ilya asked in a low voice.

“Destroyed” Gu Qing Shan told her.

“Why did it get destroyed? Wasn’t it in the middle of evolving?” Ilya pursued.

“All the demonized were killed by the Devil Kings and Fiend Kings, just as you said, without a medium to attach to, the [Order] simply died” Gu Qing Shan explained.

Everyone was stunned and looked around.

The entire frozen wasteland was devoid of life, cold and barren.

“Did they really all die?” one of the guards found it hard to believe.

“Yeah they did, I’m sure of it, what about you?”

Gu Qing Shan looked down at himself.

The light that surrounded him hadn’t answered yet.

This was the Ancient Artifact, Armor of Gods’ Protection.

The divine armor was with him throughout the entire process, witnessing everything, it had even activated [Time Stop] once to help him escape death.

Gu Qing Shan silently sent his voice: “The matter regarding the Gods and the world of the bronze pillar are secrets that can’t be told. Telling Laura about it now will only be full of demerits without any merits, so please keep it a secret”

This time, the armor replied: 「 Very well, that is indeed true. These events are all too shocking that it’ll bring the Bramble Bird race more trouble than good? 」

It turned into a bright and majestic glow, detached from Gu Qing Shan’s body and turned back into a small glow.

「 That is true, the demon’s [Revolution] has been destroyed, everything is over now? 」

The Armor of Gods’ Protection declared to everyone.

Everyone was still silent as if they weren’t able to take this as the truth just yet.

Everyone looked to Gu Qing Shan.

This man, using the power of his Tribulation, he bribed the fiends and devils that were supposed to kill him——- at the same time taking advantage of their forces to kill 2 million demonized?

A whooping 2 million demonized!

Even when that was the truth and had already happened, it was still too much for anyone to believe.

Laura walked forward and pulled on Gu Qing Shan’s hand with her own.

Her eyes were red, her lips trembled as she was hesitant to speak.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and stroked her head gently.

“What is it?” he asked.

“The grudge of my parents and my brother…” Laura whispered in a tiny voice.

Gu Qing Shan picked her up and placed her on his shoulder.

“We’re going to find Triste right now”

Gu Qing Shan spoke softly to console Laura.

“Don’t worry, she will pay for their lives with her own soon enough”
