Chapter 1432: Natural order

The Law Behemoth’s voice boomed in Gu Qing Shan’s ears:

「 Listen to me, you must completely give up this Card, only then would I be able to use it to take away one of Reneedol’s two wings thanks to the mutually shared Fate between Reneedol and Dusk that it carries 」

“Take it, hurry and save Little Dusk” Gu Qing Shan said without hesitation.

He tossed the Card forward.

The [Wing of the Condemnation Angel] Card drifted in the air, then transformed into a ring of light that slowly penetrated into the Twin Tree of Fate.

Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space in front of Gu Qing Shan:

[You’ve completely lost the Divine Armor: Wing of the Condemnation Angel]

[For a very long time in the upcoming future, the Condemnation Code will no longer produce any defensive armors]

Gu Qing Shan skimmed through but didn’t care too much about it.

If he could save Little Dusk, he would even give up the Condemnation Codex itself, let alone just a Card.

As for the defense items—–

Hah, let’s wait until later.

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze fell onto the great tree, only to see it slowly curled up and shrank, eventually manifesting as four arms that stayed behind Little Dusk.

She seemed to have sensed it; while still keeping her eyes shut, she smiled.

“Sister? Have you returned to save me?”

Little Dusk softly asked.

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then shook his head.

He wanted to tell her the truth, but Little Dusk was clearly in the middle of a crucial ceremony, so it was best that he didn’t disturb her.

The Law Behemoth descended and looked down at her together with Gu Qing Shan.

He spoke with a tone carrying an indiscernible mood: 「 The power has finally converged in this place, the power of Fate that was previously formed had once again been divided 」

「 Fate had manifested this pair of sisters, who will obtain the corresponding power of Fate in accordance with their will, neither shall receive less, neither shall receive more 」

At this point, the rain began to subside.

A vast river of stars appeared in the sky.

The stars in the sky silently descended and circled around Little Dusk.

The Law Behemoth spoke: 「 Dusk, after your rebirth, you shall gain four kinds of power, or you can choose to discard all of these powers to pursue that which your heart desires 」

“Have I been saved?” the young girl slowly closed her eyes, then asked.

「 Indeed, you shall have four kinds of wondrous powers, or you can choose one of the two wings of Fate as the foundation of your strength 」

“Please tell me, what are these two wings?” the young girl asked.

「 One wing shall help you surpass all hardship and triumph against all enemies; the other shall help you accumulate power and become the companion of the strongest one 」the Law Behemoth replied.

The young girl whispered: “I have seen the elves and giants from the moment I was born, going through countless years with them. While each of them have their own shortcomings, they were still wonderful living beings all the same. To protect them, I will also need the power to win against those disasters”

The Law Behemoth said: 「 Then your choice is—- 」

The young girl slightly frowned, then spoke after a while: “Those who protect others do not covet the power of others, I shall surpass all obstacles with my own strength”

As soon as she made that declaration, the four arms behind her back were instantly burnt to ash, before it was scattered into the void of space while glittering, eventually converging as a single pure-white wing on her back that opened to the left.

——it was only a single wing, but this pure-white wing that was attached to her back had emphasized her divine presence and dignity through its incompleteness, filled with a sense of stillness and elegance.

From the void of space, the sea of stars from above then descended onto her wing, giving off a glorious glow to complete its final embellishment.

「 The stars are the manifestation of Fate; they shall decorate your wing and guide your way 」the Law Behemoth declared.

After saying so, the Law Behemoth disappeared.

It had returned to the world of Law, once again resting to recover its strength.

All of the supernatural phenomena that had appeared swiftly vanished.

The young girl opened her eyes again, looking around herself.

She saw the young boy standing in front of her.

—–at this point, Gu Qing Shan was only eight years old, so it was impossible to tell how he would look even ten years later.

Little Dusk walked up to Gu Qing Shan, knelt on her knee, then muttered: “I could sense it, it was you who saved me”

Right as Gu Qing Shan was about to speak, lines of glowing text abruptly appeared on the War God UI.

[The Causality Law technique that the Lord of Infinite Origins have unleashed in this era is about to fade away]

[You are the only person who has the power of ‘Distortion’]

[You may choose to remain in this era, or follow the Causality Law technique to seek out the next Sealing Token]

[Please make your choice within the next minute]

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes twitched.

The pair of wings of Fate.

One wing allows its master to surpass all hardship and triumph against all enemies; while the other wing allows its master to absorb power and become the companion of the ‘strongest one’.

Since Little Dusk had chosen the former, Reneedol must be carrying the latter.

I need to keep this in mind.

He lifted Little Dusk to her feet, then said: “Dusk, I have to leave very soon, so you must keep two things in mind”

“Huh? What are they?” Little Dusk asked.

“Firstly, your sister is scheming, cold, and heartless, you definitely cannot trust her later on” Gu Qing Shan said.

Little Dusk smiled: “If there is a chance, I will try to convince her—– please tell me the second thing”

Gu Qing Shan sighed, then stroked her head: “Remember well, if there is ever someone in the future who tells you that ‘if you ever run into trouble, the only solution is robbery’, then please trust his words”

Little Dusk froze.

“What is rob…bery? She asked.

A rusty dagger appeared and completely enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan’s figure slowly faded into the void, leaving behind one final statement:

“Take good care of yourself. Around the Age of Old, someone will tell you those exact words”

Before it finished, he had already left.

Little Dusk was stunned for a while, then finally muttered to herself: “Alright, I’ll keep it deep in my mind”

She looked around herself.

The giants and elves were all around her, slowly prostrating themselves.

「 Guardian of Fate, we are your subjects 」

The old giant respectfully said.

…

On another side.

Gu Qing Shan was rapidly flying through the endless fog of darkness.

He was thinking about something during his flight, then finally asked: “Boss, are you here right now?”

“I am” Boss responded.

“Then, are you still currently in the World of the Spire?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Indeed. The one who set up this technique was myself in the past, so it has the power to bypass Space and Time” Boss replied.

Gu Qing Shan nodded, then said: “There was something I found a bit strange”

“Which part?” Boss asked.

“During your era, all the worlds existed as a single enormous continent where all living beings resided, while the underside of the world contained the manifestations of the Laws of Reality, was this the case?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“It was indeed”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “These Law Behemoths should be able to share knowledge to one another, but after Reneedol fled to the World Valley, the Law Behemoth of World Valley helped her awoken the two Wings of Fate”

“It did” Boss replied.

Gu Qing Shan asked: “But in this case, the Law Behemoth of World Valley should have brought her back to the Jungle of Elves and giants in order to save the Twin Tree of Fate and Dusk——— why did they not do this? Was there actually discord between the Law Behemoths?”

Boss went silent briefly, then replied: “You have seen the essence of the issue. During our era, whether they were living beings or the Laws, everything must obey the natural order”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised but slowly understood.

Survival of the fittest.

The weak will be buried in the past, only the strong may continue to enjoying anything and everything they wished.

Gu Qing Shan confusedly asked: “But in your era, resources were abundant and the Laws were all-powerful, why did such an order still exist?”

Boss didn’t answer.

The fog of darkness around him faded away.

The world was plunged in wind and fire.

Screaming.

Crying.

Panicked voices, intense battles, as well as the sound of weapons striking each other filled each and every corner of the world.

Boss then explained: “Ten years after that, the flames of war completely erupted and the world fell into chaos. Gu Qing Shan, accompany my teenage self and witness the truth of this world”

His voice disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan’s surroundings suddenly became clear.

Someone cruelly shouted: “Brat, I’m going to kill you!”

A blade appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s vision, swinging towards his neck.
