Chapter 1023: Gu Qing Shan And The Monster

As the trident that released water for the fountain had already been sent flying by Gu Qing Shan, there was no more trickling sound of water.

Everyone’s bodies stayed on the ground.

The only exception was the king——–

Before Gu Qing Shan managed to react in time, this extremely powerful Demi had his soul and flesh fully absorbed by the black trident, leaving behind only a thin sheet of skin.

Everything in the garden returned to silence.

The headless mermaid was standing upright inside the water fountain with a raised shield in her hand.

The vertical pupil on the shield was staring intensely at Gu Qing Shan. historical

The vertical pupil noticed that the other party had already removed the black piece of cloth in front of his eyes and was now staring straight at it without any change in his expression.

This prey actually dared to evaluate me without fear.

『 Damn you...』

The vertical pupil mumbled in a grudgeful tone.

Gu Qing Shan acted like he didn’t hear that.

———as long as he was still equipped with the golden ring, this monster wouldn’t be able to harm him at all.

He no longer looked at the monster and instead controlled both the Earth sword and Six Paths Great Mountain sword to move back into the void of space behind him.

After that, he tapped his Inventory Bag to take out a cushion and sat on it.

The monster silently observed him, all the way up until Gu Qing Shan pressed his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing.

As time went by, Gu Qing Shan’s breathing gradually turned stable and rhythmic.

Is he...

Sleeping?

The vertical pupil on the shield opened wide and took up the entirety of the shield.

『 Bastard! 』

The monster howled in anger.

The entire garden shook and trembled nonstop from its furious howling.

Some particularly cowardly trees even pulled themselves back into the ground.

Gu Qing Shan was naturally woken up.

He opened his eyes and looked at the monster in confusion?

“What are you roaring about?”

Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 That’s what I should be asking YOU! You dared to sleep in front of me, openly mocking me! 』the monster angrily roared.

Gu Qing Shan asked strangely: “With how things currently are, you can’t kill me and I can’t kill you, what else do you want?”

The monster’s frigid voice replied: 『 You’re ignoring your companions’ corpses and won’t even try to take revenge for them, what a heartless person you are 』

Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother to reply to that and yawned, muttering to himself: “I’ve been staying up all night too much recently. It’s been quite long since I last rested, a nap is necessary”

He closed his eyes and prepared to go back to sleep.

The monster: 『...』

An unimaginable sense of anger welled up in its mind.

The monster couldn’t contain its anger and roared again: 『 Who allowed you to sleep!? 』

Gu Qing Shan could only open his eyes again.

He complained: “You can’t even kill me, so what are you shouting for? Don’t you have something better to do?”

The monster coldly chuckled: 『 After you get stuck here for over 10,000 years, you’ll know what it means to have nothing better to do 』

Gu Qing Shan silently took note of that.

Seems like this monster hasn’t been here for very long, only around 10,000 years.

Regretfully, I don’t know if the other parts of the God of Life’s ruin have been taken over by other monsters.

When we battled against the Void Deity, I was able to use the [True Crimson Demon Spear] to cut off its tongue and Cannon Brother was able to send it flying.

But this monster is an Occultism entity, capable of devouring both the flesh and soul of others to turn them into its weapons and armor, I can’t come up with anything in order to kill it.

“Then we’re going to be neighbors forever it seems” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

The monster coldly replied: 『 An entity who’s still struggling for their own survival like yourself will one day fall to the Law of Death, there’s no such thing as ‘forever’ for you 』

Gu Qing Shan clapped his hand and chuckled: “Then you’d better treasure the time you have me. Otherwise, when I die, you’ll fall back into eternal loneliness without anyone to even chat with”

The monster: 『...』

—–what kind of conversation is this?

Is he insane?

Am I the monster, or are you?

The monster paused briefly, then spoke up again, full of malice: 『...Do you understand? Just now when I killed your companions, I already devoured their flesh and souls without leaving a scrap 』

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then waved his hand without care: “They’re nothing but a rag-tag bunch, nothing to do with me—— right, are you full yet?”

The monster scoffed: 『 That was hardly enough to even fill the gaps of my teeth. In the past when I still traveled the space vortex, drifting for countless years on end, eating whatever I liked, that was when I truly felt full 』

While saying that, the monster kept a close eye on Gu Qing Shan’s expression, but didn’t even see a speck of emotion on Gu Qing Shan’s face.

Seems like those people really weren’t his companions.

How ridiculous, and I even tried to have them kill him.

While it silently thought this, Gu Qing Shan had tapped his Inventory Bag again and took out a lot of fresh ingredients.

“I’m hungry, so I’m going to cook, you want something fresh to eat as well?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The monster froze.

What exactly is this person thinking?

The monster felt like it had actually run out of words to say.

Right in front of it, Gu Qing Shan began to cook.

And soon, he finished a whole table of dishes.

All of it was top-notch spirit cooking that contained natural spirit energy, greatly beneficial for any cultivator.

——since the monster likes to consume both flesh and soul, it would most likely not hate this sort of food.

Silently thinking this, Gu Qing Shan picked up his chopsticks and began to enjoy a hotpot before anything else.

“If you’re not full yet, come and eat together”

He told the monster.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, the vertical pupil on the shield slowly peered towards the table of food.

『 What inferior food you have 』the monster mocked.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “Eating is a great way to kill time, and it’s up to you whether or not you want to eat. Regardless, I’ll be eating three meals a day from now on”

He grabbed a piece of braised meat from inside the pot, dipped it in soy sauce, then put it into his mouth, slowly savouring it.

After the meat, his chopsticks moved towards the steaming fish on the side.

After eating for a bit, he put his chopsticks down and took a sip of liquor.

The fresh and cool liquid inside contained a faint stinging sensation.

This was a cup of top-grade spirit liquor.

Hah——–

“Such a good life, even immortals can only enjoy so much” Gu Qing Shan said emotionally.

He put his cup down and continued moving his chopsticks.

The monster silently watched.

For the last 10,000 years, it had been trapped in this empty garden without any solution.

Although it consumed a few souls just now, that wasn’t nearly enough to sate its hunger and worsened it instead.

This insignificant insect is truly weak, but he knows how to make food in order to kill time.

Killing time...

The vertical pupil on the shield slowly moved and focused on a steaming meat dish on the table.

A few moments later.

A black shadow flew out from the shield, swiftly making its way around the plate of meat.

The entire plate became empty instantly.

This was exactly the same way it attacked Zhang Ying Hao and the others.

The shadow returned to the shield and carefully savoured the taste.

Although the power contained within this food was pathetically little and was incomparable to living flesh and soul, it was still enough to convert into a single strand of energy after eating.

This strand of energy was so insignificantly little, but it was better than nothing.

Something is always better than nothing.

And the taste was quite decent as well.

Killing time...

With that thought in mind, the monster released another shadow that swept through the table.

Wherever the shadow went through, everything on the table vanished.

Gu Qing Shan complained: “Oi, you’re eating a bit too much, leave a bit for me”

Hearing that, the shadow moved even faster

Everything on the table, be it braised, stir-fried, deep-fried, steamed, or anything else, even cut colds, fruits and liquor were being taken by the monster.

『 Pitiful fool, all your food is now mine 』the monster mocked him.

“Oh no you don’t!”

Gu Qing Shan shouted and hurriedly reached towards a bowl of noodles.

But no matter how fast he was, the shadow was faster.

When Gu Qing Shan managed to grab the bowl, the noodles had already been consumed without leaving a scrap behind.

There wasn’t any food left on the table except a boiling pot.

The shadow flew back and returned to the vertical pupil.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “If you treat me like this, you think you’re going to get any good food from now on?”

The vertical pupil slowly closed and savoured the food it just obtained while casually replying: 『 You were the one who invited me, not to mention, I still left you a dish 』

Gu Qing Shan angrily said: “That’s just the cooking pot, it’s not edible!”

The monster ignored him.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t really do anything, so he helplessly sighed.

He glanced towards the void of space.

Lines of glowing text were appearing on the War God UI:

[In a moment of danger, you have forcefully activated your Iris World]

[Your Iris World hasn’t fully awoken so this technique’s power is about to run out]

[This world can only last for 3 more minutes]

[After 3 minutes, this parallel illusory world will be destroyed, returning you and your opponent to reality]

[Seize your time]

Gu Qing Shan swiftly skimmed through it.

Three minutes.

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards the monster and silently used [See you once again].

“Now, tell me, what are you exactly?”

Gu Qing Shan asked.
