Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 416: Voices of the dead

Translated by: La0o9

Proofreader: Arya

Samsara world.

Huang Quan.

The dead were all looking up as the number above their heads were quickly rising.

Very quickly, the negative sign in front of the numbers disappeared.

Their Merit reached 0.

Then quickly went into the positive.

And the numbers were still increasing!

Saving six worlds, with how astronomical an act it was, the amount of Merit they got was equally astronomical!

Even if there are over a quintillion dead people to share it all, the amount each of them receive in the end is still enormous.

The numbers above each of the dead were still quickly increasing.

When all the dead’s Merit number reached positive, a miracle happened.

All the terrible torture of the 18 layers of hell temporarily stopped.

In the Blood River Hell, the thick, musky blood turned a deep blue, the shadowy monster eating away at the dead from below turned into friendly fishes that swam around minding their own business.

In the Frozen Hell, various warm rooms manifested from below, with a sizzling hot fireplace and a ready-made hot meal prepared on a long banquet table.

Each and every hell, the burning fire stopped, ice thawed, shackles were broken and the mountains of blades collapsed.

Whatever it is that was torturing and bringing suffering to the dead disappeared.

As the leaders looked at their own Merit as well as the Merit above each other’s heads, they all appeared joyful.

“Ahaha, no more torture! I can finally be free!” the old human man cheered like mad.

“Awooooo —-” Wolf King howled to the sky.

The male Asura was dancing in singing in celebration.

The giant was jumping around in joy.

Seeing this, even Gu Qing Shan was smiling.

Of the 7 leaders of hell, only the female Asura wasn’t here.

But no matter, regardless of where she was, her Merit would increase all the same.

All the dead will be settled to various realms like the Heaven realm, Asura realm and human realm to reincarnate and be born anew.

“When can they reincarnate?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook smiled and answered: “After they’ve served their suffering in hell, the dead gets half a day of rest for them to clean up and repent, after that they’ll officially reincarnate to the next realm”

One of the leaders of the dead spoke dejectedly: “This place has become so comfortable that I don’t want to reincarnate”

The dead all merrily laughed.

But a few of the dead were actually tempted by that.

Reincarnation means they’ll forget the memories of this life.

In the next life, it’s exceptionally hard for anyone to recall how they lived before unless they get an extremely great coincidence.

Many dead aren’t willing to part with the memories of their entire lives.

And now that the tortures of hell are fully gone, being able to remain here and live isn’t such a bad choice.

The Merit Accountant Machine’s voice suddenly came out.

[Rejected! If you remain in hell after your time of reincarnation has come, your Merit will start to decrease rapidly, and when it reaches negative, you’ll be forced back into hell to suffer again!]

Its voice was firm and cold.

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook also spoke: “Huang Quan isn’t worth remaining in, you should all continue on the next leg of your journey”

Hearing even the Divine Armament saying that, the dead finally gave up on the idea.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly remembered something and asked: “Will the fusion of the 2 worlds affect Huang Quan in anyway?”

“Wait a minute” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook spoke.

It then released an eruption of light that scanned across the entire world of Huang Quan.

After a while, the khopesh answered: “Although the majority of benefits goes to your human realm, the origin Laws of Huang Quan also got reinforced —–this reinforcement will belong to the newly fused world later on”

“Are there any specific outward expressions?”

“Using the power of the Laws born from the two worlds fusing, the Huang Quan machines are quickly being repaired”

“Ah? So the 88 machines will all be fixed?” Gu Qing Shan asked in interest.

“That’s right, very fortunately ——–Huang Quan already doesn’t have anyone else to manage it, so it’s fortunate that we have them” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook commented.

Shannu agreed: “It truly is fortunate, thanks to these machines, after the worlds finish merging, order will be maintained at least in the area of Huang Quan”

“That’s good to hear” Gu Qing Shan said.

He sighed: “Hell is now empty, Huang Quan’s troubles are thoroughly dealt with and the human realm also returned to peace, what a long battle it has been”

Recalling everything that’s happened so far, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit emotional.

If it weren’t for him becoming Bai Hua Fairy’s disciple, he wouldn’t have been able to learn the two Secret Arts of [Sealed Body Yin Shift] and [Soul Comes Soul Goes].

Without these two Secret Arts, he wouldn’t have been able to go to Huang Quan to find out the truth about the disaster.

Which would lead to an irreversible eventual end of the world.

What fortune it has been!

Recalling his Shifu, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit loss.

Shifu was only stuck because of the limitations of the cultivation world, now that Shen Wu world is there, she would definitely become stronger much quicker.

Perhaps, she has already fused the cultivation world with Shen Wu world. historical

Which means the average power of cultivators would increase again.

But me, I’m still stuck in the space vortex, about to travel to a dying world.

—–just when can I go back to travelling between two worlds again?

Alright, let’s just leave that for now, the more important thing is to survive during the next time I travel to the other world.

While he was thinking, the leaders of the dead came.

“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Hmm —-everyone wants you to make a speech” the human old man spoke.

“You mean you?”

“No, everyone”

Gu Qing Shan casually accepted: “Alright then, we’re about to part ways so I’ll just say a few words of goodbye”

Saying so, he raised the Devil King Warden Rod.

In all 18 layers of hell, the dead sensed his presence.

「 Congratulations, today you’ve gotten out of the sea of suffering and about to be reborn 」Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.

“Yeah!!” the dead all cheered.

“Devil King! Thank you!” a few dead were crying from joy.

Thunderous applause and cheers came.

“Stop! Stop! Stop!” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

The dead slowly became silent again.

“The last thing I want to say is, be a good person in your next life and don’t come to hell, I don’t want to see you again” Gu Qing Shan said.

He then placed the Devil King Warden Rod down.

Without any warning ——

“Salute the Devil King!”

“Hail the Devil King!”

“Long live the Devil King!”

In the end, perhaps feeling that their cheers weren’t uniform, they decided to stick to a single one.

“Long live the Devil King!”

“Long live the Devil King!”

“Long live the Devil King!”

They chanted rhythmically.

The loud thunderous cheers shook the entire 18 layers of hell.

Gu Qing Shan blocked both ears with his hands, scowling: “That’s strange, I’ve already stopped using the rod, why can I still hear them?”

Shannu couldn’t help but laugh.

The girl who was forever indifferent wasn’t only just happy, she was actually laughing loudly in genuine joy.

Perhaps feeling that she was a bit unbecoming, Shannu hurriedly blocked her mouth with her sleeves.

“What are you laughing for?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Gongzi, the 18 layers of hell are all cheering, everyone on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain can hear it, so even if you cut off from the rod, you’d still be able to hear them with just your ears”

“So that’s why” Gu Qing Shan let go of his ears.

“So many unbelievable things have happened in the last two days that I couldn’t even think of before” Shannu sighed.

Sneaking a glance at Gu Qing Shan, she found that he was thinking of what’s to come.

“I’ll leave this place to the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook and the other weapons, contact me if anything happens” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Very well, after the worlds finished fusing, we’ll meet again” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook spoke.

Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Then I’ll leave this rod here as a pillar for hell”

“Alright! I’ll help you look over the Devil King Rod” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook assured him.

Gu Qing Shan then stabbed the Devil King Warden Rod right down in place.

Since hell is about to become empty, this rod won’t be useful for a while. So it’s better just to leave it here.

It isn’t a sword, and it’s an item of hell, just let it look over hell.

His signature presence is still on it so no one else can use it either way.

Perhaps a long while later, I’ll return to hell for this rod.

But that’ll be a new journey.

“Let us go, Shannu” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

“Yes, gongzi” Shannu answered.

They jumped up and flew away towards the direction of the dark tunnel.

Looking at their backs leaving, the small white bird snickered.

“What’s with you?” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook asked in surprise.

“It’s regretful, so regretful that he doesn’t need a Blade” the small white bird said.

“Don’t worry, after the worlds fused, you can probably go to the human realm and find a companion that’ll accompany you”

The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook then looked at the rest of the weapons and spoke seriously: “Although the demons were all killed, the fact that they appeared means that the demons have their eyes on our Samsara world”

“After the worlds finishing fusing, let’s not go back to sleep, let’s go out in the world”

“But there’s no longer any Divinities in Huang Quan, what should we do?” a spear asked.

“Go to the human realm, find someone that is suitable to hold yourselves, help them grow and become stronger. Perhaps in the near future, the world will require your protection again” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook replied.

“Yes!” the weapons all replied.
