Gu Qing Shan took another look at the mass of light in his hand and gradually became more cautious.
“Why give it to me?” he asked again.
Shroud smiled and told him in a whisper: “Little Wei was the one who helped me awaken from my past nightmare, disregarding any emotions, I still owe her, so I have to save her”
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and waited for him to continue.
Shroud raised his hand and drew six lines in the air.
The six Sealing Token instantly resonated with the lines and gave off a faint resonating sound.
Shroud explained: “In the past when I foresaw myself being defeated by the Apocalypse and would no longer be able to guard the frozen corpse, I had forged these Sealing Tokens and erased that part of my own memory”
“Thanks to you retrieving these six Sealing Tokens, Reneedol was unable to release the frozen corpse”
“Now, we can finally undo the seal and find out where I had hidden the frozen corpse in the past”
A thin line of blood appeared around Shroud’s body.
The line of blood slowly glowed with radiance, then tangled itself with the dark flames and began to boil intensely.
Shroud’s body began to shatter.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly shouted: “Hey, what’s going on here? What’s happening to you?”
Shroud explained: “There’s only one final issue”
“When I became one with the frozen corpse in the past, I was only able to rely on the seal to control it in the simplest manner, using an incredibly clumsy method to use its power”
Seven tentacle-like strands of hair appeared around him.
——they were the seven strands of hair that they had retrieved after killing Reneedol!
“What exactly are you doing right now?”
Gu Qing Shan drew the Heaven sword, preparing to save him at a moment’s notice.
Shroud shook his head: “There’s no need to worry. Ever since my loss at the Apocalypse’s hand during the Age of Immemorial, I had thought for countless years to come up with a way to thoroughly utilize the frozen corpse’s power to triumph against the Apocalypse”
“In the last few years, I came up with a certain [Mystery]”
Gu Qing Shan asked: “A [Mystery]? What kind of [Mystery]?”
“This [Mystery] is completely unrelated to the normal Laws of Reality, it’s uniquely related to the frozen corpse, which I had named [Mystery of Apocalypse Equal]” Shroud explained.
His body had completely disappeared, leaving only his voice in the void of space:
“Once I activate this [Mystery], I would fall into a state of death similar to the frozen corpse. Since I was originally the seal to its power, when I manage to completely put the frozen corpse’s body together again, I would be able to take advantage of that to fuse and enter its body. From that point, I would have complete control over the frozen corpse, trigger its potential, and exert more power than I had ever been able to before”
“You mean, you’re going to seal yourself away now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“That’s right, I will enter a state between being sealed and being dead. I will be completely unconscious, only capable of giving you directions to where the corpse was being hidden———”
“Only when I obtain all the portions in the seal again would I be able to reawaken and thoroughly become the frozen corpse itself”
“In this state, I might even be able to go head to head against an Unfathomable Apocalypse!”
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but feel delighted.
“What do I need to do?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Shroud’s voice resounded from the void of space: “You need to take the object of my manifestation—– I’m not sure what it will be either, but I know it’ll manifest after my death. It will absorb the power of the six Sealing Tokens to help you find the other parts of the frozen corpse and remove their seals”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “If I find all the body parts of the frozen corpse that are hidden by the six Sealing Tokens——”
Shroud continued: “Then I will reawaken as the true frozen corpse”
“Got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Remember, my death manifestation is me itself, you need to carry it with you at every moment, as it relies on your Law of Death power in order to exist. Once it leaves you, I will disappear for good” Shroud cautiously told him.
“I understand!” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Then…… I leave the rest to you……” Shroud said with a discontinuous voice.
A flash of bright light appeared.
The seven tentacle-like strands of hair enveloped the light and fused with the six Sealing Tokens and slowly manifested into an object.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
As the light faded away, the death manifestation became clear.
It was——
A dog’s head.
A black dog’s head hovered in the air, seriously staring at Gu Qing Shan.
It looked like it was ready to save the world.
When Gu Qing Shan touched it and took a more careful look, he noticed that it wasn’t an actual dog’s head, but rather a dog-head mask.
Strands of power of Death radiated from his body and were absorbed by the dog-head mask.
——Shroud had to remain like this in order to sustain his existence, or he would die!
Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered to himself: “Even while you’re dead, you still remember to turn into a dog, huh……”
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Bell Ringer Dog Battlemask]
[Product of Apocalypse homology, currently in a faux death state, it has the following abilities:]
[Frozen Seal Nose: After fusing with the six Sealing Tokens, it can sense the frozen corpse’s buried locations]
[Mystery of Apocalypse Equal: By wearing this, you will not be crushed by the frozen corpse’s presence, nor attacked by its corpse parts, normal Apocalypses will also not attack you]
[Temporary Manifestation: Whenever you obtain one of the frozen corpse’s parts, you will immediately be capable of using that part’s power. Specifics are unknown]
[Awaken: When you obtain all the frozen corpse parts hidden by the Sealing Tokens, they will awaken together with Shroud turning into the new Secret Apocalypse]
[Power Parasite: You will need to wear or carry it in your hands to allow it to absorb your power of Death, thus maintaining its existence]
Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through it.
He held up the dog-head mask, then thought for a long while before hanging it on his shoulder.
“Huh?”
Gu Qing Shan exclaimed with a faint whisper.
As soon as he secured the dog-head mask, he started sensing something.
Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze to the table.
Sitting inside the sword box, the fragments of the Delimitation Divine Sword were motionless.
He casually dispelled the formation in the room to let the sounds from outside echo in.
He slowly pondered while listening to the various noises outside.
As Gu Qing Shan realized this, he couldn’t help but sigh.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and took out something from his chest.
The colorful rooster statue.
Looking at it for a bit, Gu Qing Shan shook his head and put it back.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and casually took out a bottle of liquor from his ring , popped the cap open, then slowly drank.
Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze to his hand.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
There was another ring sitting on his middle finger.
Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze to it.
Following Gu Qing Shan’s gaze, the ring flickered briefly.
Lines of glowing text appeared next to his middle finger:
[The Ring of the Bramble Bird King has noticed your thoughts]
[It is telling you:]
[Under the current circumstances, it can help you put up your middle finger to anything and everything]
[——and you only need to enjoy the joy of using money]
Gu Qing Shan was stunned, then chuckled to himself.
Gu Qing Shan tilted his head up to finish the bottle in one gulp, then put it back down and left his room.
