Free Web NovelComing back to her senses, she bent down to pick up the metal club that had fallen to the ground. As she stood up, Gu Qianqian's gaze swept across the First Generation Miracle Saint's bloody and disfigured face, and his exposed eyes, whose eyelids had been gnawed away. Their gazes met, and her heart trembled violently.
Then came a string of apologies.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but I really can't take you with me. At worst, at worst... when your seventh day comes, I'll organize the villagers to burn [N O V E L I G H T] more paper money for you?"
"If that's not enough, how about this? Tell me your name, and I'll make a memorial tablet for you to worship later, as compensation for me almost smashing your head in just now."
Although Gu Qianqian felt that the golden figure was pitiful, he was so badly injured, with his internal organs almost hollowed out, and half of his brain gnawed away. It was probably hopeless to take him with her.
Hearing Gu Qianqian, the First Generation Miracle Saint seemed to remember something. The exposed muscles around his mouth twitched, revealing a ferocious yet relieved smile. Then, he laboriously raised his hand and waved lightly at Gu Qianqian.
Go, do what you should do!
May the miracle guide your direction, straight to the bright and pure other shore...
Although he said nothing, Gu Qianqian truly felt this meaning from his eyes and actions.
So, without any hesitation, after picking up the metal club from the ground, she quickly left the chaotic ruins near Chawan Temple.
Gu Qianqian was a straightforward Miss who cried when unhappy, sought revenge when wronged, and ate with a basin. Since the person she wanted to help didn't need her assistance, she wouldn't be sentimental.
Besides, she had very important things to do.
She and the system came to Yumen Pass, impersonating Calamity, plundering various Spiritual Energy organizations gathered in the Gobi Desert. This was originally to wait for Yumen Pass to open, blend in, seize the opportunity to find the operational hub of Yumen Pass, and then grab as much as they could.
The Bamboo Scroll Illusion, as a God Kingdom used by the Great Serpent God to eternally imprison traitors, although a highly complete God Kingdom, as a cage, its internal space and various functions were very limited, even terrible.
If the God Kingdom Prototype controlled by Lu Yibei was a top-tier computer, then the Bamboo Scroll Illusion was a low-end computer.
The difference was that the God Kingdom Prototype had no power plugged in and no network cable connected, while the Bamboo Scroll Illusion had power and a network cable, but due to insufficient configuration, it could only perform file processing and simple entertainment, unable to run large software.
But if they could snatch some key parts for constructing a God Kingdom from the operational hub of the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, then they could complete the configuration upgrade.
Not to mention playing AAA games, at least playing small independent games would be absolutely no problem!
At that time, with the almost zero-to-ten leap in optimization of the internal illusion of the Bamboo Scroll Illusion, the villagers' worship of Gu Qianqian would surely reach a new peak, and advancing to Calamity would be as easy as tipping on one's toes.
If they could receive some "refugees" from Yumen Pass, that would be even better!
Unfortunately, within Yumen Pass, there wasn't even a single existence that could be considered human... the system thought.

Near Chawan Temple.
Crushed by two giant stone lions, Fang Ji felt his internal organs groaning in pain, and his vision was restricted to a narrow slit by the stone lions.
However, just as he was hoping that Gu Qianqian would quickly plunder the First Generation Miracle Saint's flesh and blood, summon her friend back, and then return to free him, a familiar, dreamlike, exotic fragrance entered his nostrils.
Was that... the fragrance of the miracle flower?
Had the First Generation Holy Child regained his ability to move?
Fang Ji thought, and the next second his face turned ashen.
Gu Qianqian's figure, surrounded by the glow of the miracle flower, bounced past him, fifty meters away, in a flash.
"Hey! Gu Qianqian, don't go! Did you forget something, you bastard!"
Fang Ji tried calling out twice.
But perhaps the wails, mad laughter, and teeth-grinding, blood-sucking sounds from afar covered his calls, or perhaps Gu Qianqian was too excited and simply forgot about his existence...
In short, Gu Qianqian ran far away without even looking at Fang Ji, her figure gradually shrinking, just like the flame of hope in his heart.

Advancing towards the small palace in the center of Yumen Pass, the system fantasized about a bright future after Gu Qianqian snatched the key parts for constructing the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, while listening to Gu Qianqian recount what had happened during its period of dormancy.
Gu Qianqian had just been immersed in guilt for not being able to help that golden figure. Now, she finally came back to her senses and thought about her recent experiences.
"Aha—! System, I was so miserable, woo woo woo, you must never leave me alone again..."
"Alright, alright! Just this once, and never again!"
"Woo woo woo, I almost did something bad."
"Didn't you not do it yet? We gentlemen judge by actions, not by intentions. Alright, stop crying!"
"..."
A moment later.
After the system finally managed to comfort Gu Qianqian, and she finally mentioned, "Calamity imprisoned me in her God Kingdom. If it weren't for Miss Ji Yunpei's help, it wouldn't have been so easy to escape!" it froze for a moment, then immediately let out a fierce growl.
"Damn it, that bastard Calamity! How dare she? Doesn't she have a conscience... No, she doesn't have a conscience at all!"
So many times, why was Calamity unwilling to let go of Ji Yunpei and always sought her out?
And even... imprisoned her in her God Kingdom, how could that be tolerated?
"Where is Calamity? I'm going to kill her!"
Gu Qianqian was startled by the system's sudden rage, and after a long silence, she weakly asked, "System, why are you suddenly so angry?"
"I..." the system stammered, "This, isn't it because I heard that guy was harming innocent girls again, and I'm righteously indignant?"
"Oh, that makes sense. Miss Ji Yunpei is indeed a very good person," Gu Qianqian nodded.
Of course! Listening to Gu Qianqian's words, the system's mood was good, but the next moment its mood plummeted, falling directly into the abyss.
"But Void is with Calamity, and there's also a super fierce woman. We can't beat them!" Gu Qianqian said worriedly.
System, "???"
Calamity plus Void...
Had Gu Qianqian been to hell during this time?
Based on the timeline, Nightmare was either in the Pyramid of Khufu or Yumen Pass. If Nightmare was also there... The system shivered at the thought. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
What kind of world-destroying ultimate combination is this?
One creates Calamity and chaos, annihilating civilizations and severing the future.
Another fundamentally devours the past and destroys the birth of life.
The last one plunges the entire world into a complete illusion.
With all three working together, a destroyed world would not even have the possibility of recovering after a long period of time. Just thinking about it sends shivers down one's spine.
After a moment of silence, the system spoke, "Wait! What did you just say?"
"I said, Void and Calamity are together, and there's also a super fierce..."
"Not that sentence, the one before it," the system interrupted.
"I asked, why are you so angry?" Gu Qianqian whispered.
"The one before that!"
"Hmm..." Gu Qianqian recalled carefully, "I said, I was imprisoned in the God Kingdom by Calamity. If it wasn't for Ji..."
"Exactly, that sentence!" the system interrupted.
"Is there a problem with that?" Gu Qianqian tilted her head.
"It's a bit strange," the system said, "However, I'm not clear about the specific situation yet, so I can't explain it to you for now."
In its opinion, it wasn't strange for Calamity to possess a God Kingdom, but it was very strange that there were so many living people in Calamity's God Kingdom.
In fact, in its memory, Calamity initially had no intention of building a God Kingdom.
Calamity once said, "With a God Kingdom, everything within it will become a burden."
But later, Calamity somehow found a God Kingdom that could be considered "dead."
Compared to a normal God Kingdom, it was a useless decoration, and it even required a lot of Spiritual Energy to maintain it to prevent its collapse.
Such a God Kingdom could not sustain living beings.
It once curiously asked Calamity, "Why do you do such a thankless thing? Putting people inside to collect faith can't increase your power, can it? Even if you use it as a warehouse, put some miscellaneous items in there!"
However, Calamity merely smiled at her and looked into the distance without a word, her gaze surprisingly gentle, as if she was missing someone.
But how could Calamity have such an emotion as longing?
She simply had no "heart"!
She probably came up with the whimsical idea of finding a God Kingdom with the thought of "if others have it, I must have it too; even if I don't use it, I can't not have it!" After all, that's just the kind of person she was, the system thought.
"Although something's not right, I guess Calamity is probably also after the operational hub of Yumen Pass... Gu Qianqian, we need to speed up, or else we'll have to prepare for a direct confrontation with Calamity."
As the words fell, a mission prompt sounded in Gu Qianqian's ear.
"【Optional Mission: The Lost God Kingdom Under the Yellow Sand · Part Two...】"

"Clang—clang—clang—!"
The sound of heavy iron boots colliding with the ground echoed in his ears. The First Generation Miracle Saint looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly figure clad in black armor.
The exposed muscles twitched, pulling a smile across his bloody and disfigured face.
"Did you see? I won!"
Shaman King, "..."
"In this world, not everyone will be misled by you... As long as people like her exist, there is... there is meaning..."
Seemingly annoyed by the First Generation Miracle Saint's words, the Shaman King, before he could finish speaking, gripped the blackness with both hands and pierced through his chest, nailing his body firmly to the ground.
Thus, his words abruptly ceased, and only a mournful scream echoed in the sky above Chawan Temple...
