Chapter 414 - String of Law
Proofreader: Arya
The Shrine of Reincarnation was where the Divinities of Huang Quan sorted the dead beings in hell to where they should reincarnate.
Furthermore, a lot of important works related to Huang Quan were also done here.
This could be called the highest managing office for Huang Quan.
And the Earth elemental root was here.
The dead charged into the Shrine of Reincarnation.
“Stop!”
The female Asura ordered.
“Do not break anything! The Devil King still doesn’t know exactly where that thing is, so if someone messes anything up, get ready to die for good!” she shouted.
All the dead stopped and carefully stood still in place.
The female Asura was the leader of this round of attack.
The last round was headed by the Wolf King, who managed to break through the 7-colored spear’s protective area.
But the Wolf King was also killed by a phantom spear.
It was then at the female Asura led a new round of attack and managed to get into the shrine.
The 7-colored spear then stopped attacking.
Very quickly, the 6 leaders gathered inside the Shrine.
They were looking for the Earth elemental root.
Truthfully speaking, the elemental roots were quite easy to find, since they themselves were powerful sources of power, they could be sensed easily.
For example the Water elemental root, it carried a chilling essence by nature, together with the origin power of water, capable of slowly repairing damage of all things.
That was why the first time Gu Qing Shan saw Shannu, she was inside the Forgetting River, using the Water elemental root to nurture her spirit form, waiting to recover.
The 6 leaders closed their eyes to sense it.
But then they opened their eyes one by one with a look of shock.
“Wasn’t that thing supposed to be easy to find? Why can’t I sense any sort of energy fluctuation?” the human old man asked.
“I ——-as ——–well” the giant leader also replied.
“It’s best to ask Wolf King about these thing, it surely knows” the Fiendkind leader commented.
“There, it’s coming” the male Asura spoke.
The newly revived Wolf King came in through the entrance of the shrine.
After thinking seriously, it spoke: “Try and see if you can find any unusual objects in this Shrine, careful not to damage any of these structures”
The 7 leaders scattered to check around the shrine on their own.
But even after their search, nothing.
Without much choice, Wolf King used the telepathy to report the problem to Gu Qing Shan.
“That can’t be”
Gu Qing Shan frowned.
「 We’ve searched, but didn’t find the Earth elemental root, or any sort of unusual objects 」Wolf King reported.
Then it glanced through the crowd.
「 Wait a minute, I can’t see the female Asura, maybe she found something 」
At the same time.
The female Asura was standing in a secluded corner of the shrine.
A tattered machine was here.
It was almost in pieces, but seemingly supported by some sort of power, it didn’t thoroughly breakdown and still held its shape.
An eye-catching “33” was painted on the side of the machine.
Faint black smoke was coming out from it.
Obviously, despite some power holding it together, the machine was still broken very badly.
But it seems to still be operational.
The female Asura reached out her hand and tried to touch the cold metal machine.
The machine suddenly let out a loud rumbling noise, catching her off-guard.
[Divinity!!]
The machine hurriedly spat out that single word.
By just saying the word, the machine was trembling.
A few parts were falling off from the machine.
It seemed to have reached its limit, even the normal functions had stopped.
Suddenly, a spark flashed inside the machine.
The machine was shaking unstably, but tried its best to say the next words.
[Back —–]
Boom!
The machine blew up.
Countless machine parts fell and scattered all over.
The female Asura was surprised.
What happened?
From the looks of it, the machine really wanted to say something, but it was already unable to express itself anymore.
What did it want to say?
As soon as this thought appeared, the female Asura couldn’t shake it away.
Where the machine blew up, a faint glowing light appeared.
The Earth elemental root.
So it was here.
No wonder the machine was able to hold on until someone came, it had this to support it.
But no one could tell if the machine originally had this, or did it only come to seek the Earth elemental root out when it found itself unable to hold on anymore, it has become an eternal mystery.
“What happened?” Wolf King’s voice came.
The 6 leaders all appeared behind the female Asura.
“Ah! So it was here!” the male Asura excitedly declared.
“That’s great, let’s bring it to the Devil King”
The Fiendkind controlled and tossed it to dead people behind it.
They all cheered excitedly.
Even the Divinities were killed at the hands of the 7-colored spear.
But they managed to pass through its protective area and return with the elemental root.
This was the dead’s victory.
They brought the Earth elemental root back to the Blood River Hell.
At the bank of the Blood River hell.
Gu Qing Shan held the Earth elemental root in his hand.
Four roots now.
There’s only the Wood elemental root at the side of the mountain left.
The female Asura suddenly came up next to him.
“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“I have something I need to ask Shannu or the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook”
The female Asura appeared concerned.
“Ask” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook answered.
“Can the Machines of Huang Quan be repaired?”
“Divinities can repair them, other than that, the Laws of Huang Quan will also slowly repair them, but that’ll take a very long time”
The female Asura nodded, still concerned.
「 Very well, the last elemental root, everyone, charge! 」Gu Qing Shan declared.
Roar!!!!!!
The dead all roared as they continued their assault.
This time the 7-colored spear stayed silent.
It used a phantom spear to form a faint line at the middle of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
This seems to be a declaration.
That if anyone passes this line, it’ll go all out.
The dead carefully searched around the middle of the side of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and quickly found the Wood elemental root.
Soon enough, the Wood elemental root made it into Gu Qing Shan’s hand as well.
Gu Qing Shan took all of the elemental roots out and began to search his memories.
Back in the Shen Wu world, the large corpse told him how to merge two worlds.
“Next is to refine them”
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan released his spirit energy and combined it with his inner sight to refine the 5 elemental roots.
These elemental roots were without a master, so they’re naturally friendly with spirit energy and serve as excellent smithing materials.
But this part of the Samsara world doesn’t have the concept of Smithing, so they’ve existed all the way until now.
Very quickly, the elemental roots were carved with Gu Qing Shan’s personal signature using his inner sight.
Using spirit energy and the Smithing techniques he learnt, he easily combined and formed the elemental roots into a string.
A 5-colored glowing string was quickly made.
Lines of glowing text scrolled through the War God UI.
[You’ve received a String of Law]
[This is the String of Law belonging to Huang Quan of the Samsara]
[If you can bring it to another world, the world of Huang Quan will be pulled by the String of Law, slowly merging with the other world to form a new world]
Gu Qing Shan held the Devil King Warden Rod and closed his eyes in thought.
“Shannu”
“Gongzi, I’m here”
“I’ll have to trouble you to look over this place for a bit, I’ll return to the human realm”
“What are you going to do, gongzi?”
“You’ll know soon enough”
Gu Qing Shan stabbed the Devil King Warden Rod into the ground.
He held the 5-colored String of Law in one hand, forming a hand seal in another.
Triggering it with spirit energy, the seal was quickly completed.
[Soul Comes Soul Goes: Allows your soul to travel to Huang Quan and return]
An invisible pulling force appeared from the void of space, allowing Gu Qing Shan to sense where his body was.
Following the force, he entered the void of space, got out of the Blood River Hell in a few seconds and entered a space of nothingness.
A few minutes later, he appeared at the entrance to the dark tunnel.
Through the dark tunnel, he came to the space vortex and followed it forward.
After a while, Gu Qing Shan stopped.
He sensed that his body was outside of this part of the space vortex.
Activating the hand seal, he found an invisible barrier in the void of space.
He could recognize that the mountaintop mansion was on the other side.
Going through the invisible barrier, Gu Qing Shan returned to the human realm.
He silently hovered in midair, looking at the room.
Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were on his left and right, protecting him.
Ah—-
Anna was here too?
The girl with brilliant crimson red hair was now resting on the sofa, clearly exhausted.
Next to the girl, a black dog sat.
The black dog was currently holding onto a bottle of liquor, drinking like it was water.
Right as Gu Qing Shan appeared.
The black dog suddenly sat straight up, looking at Gu Qing Shan’s soul form.
It seriously studied Gu Qing Shan’s appearance, then looked back at his body and quickly calmed down.
The black dog lied back down.
—-what was that?
Is this dog able to see me?
While Gu Qing Shan was still confused, the black dog jumped up again and opened its eyes wide staring at the 5-colored String of Law in Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
It opened its mouth in shock.
