Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and asked: “Can you save all of these people at once?”

“I can’t, my abilities aren’t exclusively used for healing, so I’m not able to do that” the girl answered.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes lit up and asked: “In other words, there are still ways to save them?”

“Yes”

The girl took out a book and gave it to Gu Qing Shan: “The fastest way is to become a Divinity. According to the records of history, the God of Life was only a mere Daemon, but its understanding of healing and curing were top-notch, if you learn the highest level of Life Divine Craft, you will be able to save all of these people all at once”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the book.

Written on it was: [Life Divine Craft elementary research and practice]

Gu Qing Shan could only smile bitterly.

Not too long ago, to search for a safe way to travel through the space vortex, I temporarily became a follower of the Church of Life.

But as soon as I got the answer, I quit being a follower.

If I knew I still needed to become a Divinity, I wouldn’t have given up faith so quickly.

But now, I’m no longer a follower, and can’t enter any of the Churches again for life.

What now?

It wasn’t just Yun Ji, Chen Wang might still be alive as well.

Chen Wang already helped me and Shifu a lot.

Big Bear, the mechanical arm as well as Barry’s other comrades might also be barely hanging to their lives.

If they could become comrades of Barry, they must be decent people, and they treated me quite well during our first meeting.

I also have good impressions of them all.

But my path to Godhood is already cut off!

With the book in his hand, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit dejected.

“There, I’ve already given you the method, just do your best, one day you’ll become Divinity and save them” the girl urged him.

After being done with her end of the deal, the girl’s expression returned to normal.

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and directly admitted: “I probably can’t become Divinity”

He quickly told her the reason.

But he didn’t expect the girl to sigh after silently listening to him.

“So you won’t become Divinity, that’s a good thing, if you really wanted to become Divinity, I would’ve taken my chance and ran away” the girl spoke in relief.

“Why is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

“I hate Divinities” the girl squinted her nose and scoffed.

“…Fine then, are there any other ways to save them?” Gu Qing Shan patiently asked.

“Do you really want to save these people so desperately? You need to understand, with your current strength, you’ll have to put in an extreme amount of effort to achieve what you want”

“You mean I’ll have to become a lot stronger?”

“It’s even more than that, you will have to surpass the amount of effort that is put in by the majority of people in the current 900 million World Layers, so much so, that an entire life’s worth of effort might not be enough”

“That is the path I want to walk”

The girl silently listened as she looked at Gu Qing Shan with a hesitant look.

She seemed to be considering something extremely important.

“One very important question” the girl spoke after some consideration, “do you hate card users?”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Although he didn’t understand how this question is supposed to be important, he still answered: “I don’t hate them”

“Then what about cards? What do you think cards are?” the girl asked further.

“A very unique type of existence”

“Do you hate cards? Or to be more precise, do you think an existence like mine is eerie and strange?”

“I don’t, there are infinite worlds in this universe with many indescribable creatures and lives, compared to them, you are considered cute” Gu Qing Shan sincerely answered her.

He was recalling the Devil Kings and Fiend Kings he met.

The Tianma have a wild but charming outer appearance, Asuras are decent looking, but aside from these two types of fiends, the other fiends and devils were radically beyond a human’s sense of aesthetics.

Hearing his answer, the girl unconsciously showed a faint smile but quickly tensed up her expression again.

She sighed: “If that’s the case if you really want to save these people so badly, I have another method”

Gu Qing Shan happily spoke: “Then please tell me how”

“It’s a very troublesome method, and if you use it, I’ll have to put in a lot of effort” the girl sighed again.

“You’ll have to put in a lot of effort?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

“That’s right, when a complete novice who doesn’t understand a single thing like you use that method, I’ll have to spend a lot of time taking care of you” the girl worriedly said.

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: “Please teach me that method, I will greatly appreciate it”

“How will you show your appreciation?” the girl asked.

“You can decide” Gu Qing Shan spoke without a thought.

“I have just woken up not too long away, so I’m still unsure of how to live. From now on, you have to take care of my meals and accommodations” the girl said.

“That’s a simple matter, no problem!”

Gu Qing Shan immediately accepted.

Apparently, he forgot that he was penniless.

Hearing that, the girl appeared pleased.

“I’ve been observing you, so I know you’re a good person. I’ll trust you just this once”

Saying so, the girl took out two things.

A brush.

And a grey bucket of paint.

She put the bucket of paint on the ground and held the brush in her hand, looking at Gu Qing Shan.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t talk”

The girl’s expression turned serious. historical

She circled around staring at Gu Qing Shan for about half an hour until she asked: “What’s your Profession?”

“A chef”

“Fighting Profession”

“Ah, sword cultivator”

“Take out your sword”

Listening to her, Gu Qing Shan took out the Chao Yin sword and Six Paths Great Mountain sword, one in each hand.

“Stay right there, don’t move, do not move even a little bit, don’t talk either” the girl told him.

“Hm”

Answering her through his nose, Gu Qing Shan sincerely stood absolutely still.

No one could blame him for trusting her this much, as all of her knowledge up to now, the way she triggered the Divine Power crystal, even the Life Divine Craft book that she gave him was real.

Not to mention the cards that the girl used up to now were a bit too powerful.

The only reason why she lost to him was partly because she sealed her own wisdom, and because she didn’t want to go all out.

The girl took a few steps back and looked at him from top to bottom.

“No, you should hover a bit, that way it’ll look better”

She clapped her hand and commented.

So Gu Qing Shan lightly hovered about half a feet of the ground, still holding both his swords in hand.

The girl looked at him, then said: “A bit higher”

Gu Qing Shan went a bit higher.

“No, wait, a bit lower”

“Too low, a bit higher”

“There”

The girl was finally pleased.

At this point, she lifted her bucket of paint and dipped her brush in it.

The girl began to draw various intricate runes and patterns in the void of space around Gu Qing Shan.

While drawing, she was also silently chanting an incantation.

Her gaze was careful and focused as if she was afraid of making even the smallest mistake.

Every action, every stroke of the brush, she only put down after careful consideration.

During this entire process, her chanting never stopped.

Time slowly passed.

The night was over.

The suns were rising up on the horizon bringing with them the heat of the desert.

The girl finally stopped her brush.

She seriously observed her work from top to bottom before nodding in satisfaction.

With a deep sense of fatigue, the girl told Gu Qing Shan: “Remain still, no not move”

Standing across from her, Gu Qing Shan’s entire body was now standing within a rectangular border or runes.

The grey runes were giving off a mysterious and mystical aura, statically floating in the air.

Gu Qing Shan had never seen such intricate runes ever before.

As he carefully observed these runes, a sense of desolation could suddenly be felt welling up from inside him.

Gu Qing Shan silently sensed himself.

No sign of karmic adversity.

No reaction from his spirit sense.

The girl didn’t show a single bit of hostility from start to end.

But then, what exactly is she doing right now?

The girl sternly requested that I don’t move or even speak.

And she’s already beginning to chant another long and mystical incantation.

So it isn’t time to ask yet.

Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to keep his questions to himself and continued to float.

Luckily, as a Tribulation realm cultivator, this didn’t feel tiring at all to him.

After finishing her chant, the girl picked up her brush and continued to draw more grey runes around Gu Qing Shan.

A long while later.

Finally, she stopped and deeply sighed.

“It’s almost done. Don’t move yet, after the painting is done, I still have one last step”

The girl told him.

So Gu Qing Shan continued to stand still.

He was feeling quite strange, as if he was showing his battle stance for someone to paint a picture of him.

This is a first for me.

Can this really save Yun Ji and the rest?

In fact, can this actually make me stronger at all?

Gu Qing Shan was completely clueless.

He looked at the girl.

The girl put the paint and brush away, rubbed her hands together, and held her breath.

Gu Qing Shan maintained silence.

I already decided to trust her, let’s wait until she’s done before saying anything.

Gu Qing Shan silently thought so.

Time passed by.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression suddenly changed.

A few glowing lines of text scrolled past his retina.
