Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 844: Cannot Meet From Being A Mountain Apart

A lush green mountain peak was floating in the sky.

From afar, a streak of light came flying and arrived alone outside the mountain.

Gu Qing Shan appeared.

He looked down at the mountain peak, and silently sensed the vast power emanating from it.

A flower among blades of grass, a leaf that landed by some stones.

It seems to currently be autumn for the Mahesvara realm.

The autumn atmosphere filled the entire mountain, the layers of leaves and trees fluttered along with the wind, making for a scenic view.

At the same time, an unknown great power could be felt coming from every corner of this mountain.

As a Void Revolution realm cultivator, Gu Qing Shan could clearly feel this power, but he was unable to comprehend what it exactly was.

He grabbed a falling leaf with his hand.

The withered leaf slowly scattered.

“This is a manifestation of Merit?” he doubtfully muttered to himself.

Zhi Luo’s voice sounded from inside the mountain: “Indeed, because I participated in the struggle to save the Samsara worlds and made significant contributions, I was able to use the Merit I gained to form this mountain peak”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the various uneven places on the mountain and quickly realized what they were.

These were the marks left behind by those cultivators’ attacks.

Her Merit nullified those attacks, manifesting the damage as withered leaves and trees.

“Zhi Luo, you can come out now, those people will not come to try and destroy this mountain any longer” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Where did they go?” Zhi Luo asked.

“They decided to crack jokes in another world, so they all left just now” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“You really are impressive, to be able to break through and return here in such a short period of time” Zhi Luo was clearly in awe.

“I’m actually not that impressive, most of this is thanks to a pill”

“That’s also due to your competence. Ah, I just remembered something important”

“That is?”

“I can’t leave”

Gu Qing Shan froze.

Zhi Luo spoke dejectedly: “At the time, I was afraid that they would interfere with you during your Tribulation, so I sealed the entire mountain off, and now I can’t leave at all”

“Then how do we break the seal?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“There’s no way that I know of unless you do what they did and attack the mountain for several dozen days” Zhi Luo answered

Gu Qing Shan froze again.

He realized that he wouldn’t be able to meet the other party this time around.

The Fire Tribulation made it so that he couldn’t stay here for too long.

He couldn’t destroy this mountain in such a short time, even if he could, he can’t just do that either.

Because this mountain was the manifestation of Zhi Luo’s Merits.

So now, Gu Qing Shan had to face the Tribulation while he still had the time to quickly leave.

If he was too late, the Tribulation Fire would burn his body to ash.

Zhi Luo obviously understood this as well.

Right here and now, they could do nothing but say a few words to each other and bid farewell.

“You can go and face your Tribulation now, I’ll stay here to cultivate and wait for you” she told him.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit hesitant, briefly reflected on it before asking: “Are there any other people who could threaten your safety?”

“How many cultivators did you kill?” Zhi Luo asked.

“701 people”

Zhi Luo said with joy: “That’s perfect, then there is no one here in this world but myself”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit doubtful and asked: “If this was the Mahesvara realm, why were there so few people? Does this realm not have a Mahesvara Heavenly King?”

Zhi Luo answered him: “The original Mahesvara Heavenly King was already long dead, this realm has basically been without an owner for a long time”

“What about those cultivators?”

“They are trapped here, only Merit could increase their lifespan, otherwise they would die right away”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

No wonder those cultivators insisted on keeping me here.

No wonder they even tried to use Zhi Luo’s life to threaten me.

He hurriedly asked: “What about you?”

“Before this mountain formed from my Merit is destroyed, I can live perfectly well”

“Have they never tried to steal your Merit before?”

“I would grant them a bit of Merit from time to time depending on my mood, so they can’t really try anything against me. Furthermore, if I really don’t want to stay here, they can’t stop me, I can immediately reincarnate into any world I wish, but if I did that, I would forget you”

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “You’ve already done a lot for my sake. If you continue, you’ll only go through more hardship without any benefits”

Zhi Luo’s giggle could be heard coming from the mountain: “Indeed, but you’re already starting to think for my sake, confirming that I really didn’t make the wrong judgement”

Her tone suddenly became stern and solemn: “Qing Shan, do you see the fluttering withered leaves in the wind? As an Asura woman, ever since long ago, I already knew that my life would be the same as these leaves, destined to be lost in the heat of battle, that is the shared fate of our race”

“But I already lost my life once and got to meet you in hell, that is my fortune that had nothing to do with battle”

“I’ve been through countless tough battles and lingered at the verge of life and death for too long to count, so to me, simply waiting is nothing but an insignificant price to pay”

“I will continue to wait until the day you come to take me away from here”

Gu Qing Shan fell silent.

The women of the Asura race were bestowed with peerless beauty with a burning fiery personality, once they recognized someone, they would never change their mind in their entire lives, even if the two of them could no longer be with one another, they would never love a second man.

However, this was nothing but a rumor, a legend, so Gu Qing Shan had never paid close attention to it. Now that he was experiencing this himself, he naturally felt how heavy it really was.

He landed on top of the mountain and buried a jade tag beneath a piece of rock.

“These are all the battle techniques and skills of the Asura race that I’ve ever obtained, after you come out, make sure to cultivate them well” Gu Qing Shan told her.

“Ah? Why do I have to cultivate them well?” Zhi Luo’s voice seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and told her: “Because if you want to fight by my side from now on, you can’t be too weak”

Saying so, he closed his eyes.

He had spent too much time in this world already that there wasn’t a lot of time left, Gu Qing Shan could already feel the approaching shadow of death.

He had to face his Tribulation now!

Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts turned.

Immediately, endless flames engulfed him and pulled him into countless visions of despair, swearing to destroy his mind.

Gu Qing Shan carefully dealt with his delusions.

A few moments later.

The flames faded.

He also vanished from this world together with the fire.

“Take care”

Only those words lingered in the wind.

The entire Mahesvara realm returned to silence.

There weren’t any people flying back and forth.

No more rowdy banquet and parties.

The world was silent.

Only a single graceful woman of unrivaled beauty was sitting in the heart of a certain mountain with a smile on her face.

Zhi Luo. historical

While not in battle, she appeared a lot more graceful and elegant than any other woman.

“Now that’s a real problem, you’re already so powerful, how would I be able to catch up to your steps now?”

She furrowed her eyebrows greatly for a long time before finally relaxing.

“It seems, I can only…”

She cut open a small wound on her finger and began to draw a type of mystical pattern on her face with the blood.

This was the Asura race’s racial rune passed down for generations.

In the Age of Old, after the Samsara was broken apart, every realm was broken down to countless fragments that had no way to fuse together again.

Only the battle-driven Asura race managed to use a special method to create this rune.

Once they performed the ritual with the rune, an Asura must throw away their status, their tribe, their family members, authority, and everything else to head to the ruins of the Asura Samsara.

That place was called the ultimate Asura Eternal Battle Era Fortress.

In that place, all the Asura inheritances were complete.

Each Asura who headed there would undoubtedly become rapidly stronger.

Of course, that was also an exceedingly dangerous place where one could die with the most minimal mistake.

There was only a single rule there: To become stronger, or die!

As Zhi Luo completed her ritual, she slowly stood up with her daggers in hand.

After a few moments of waiting.

The void of space began to ripple like water.

The scene of a crimson sunset appeared in front of her eyes like a mirage that didn’t seem to be real.

Zhi Luo stared closely at the mirage and took a deep breath.

“I must become stronger”

Zhi Luo muttered as if to encourage herself.

“Furthermore, when he really has as many dependents as he’s supposed to in the future, if I am too weak, wouldn’t I be the target of bullying?”

“This one can’t possibly stand for that, and furthermore…”

She walked resolutely into the mirage and made a clear declaration:

“I want to fight for your sake, Qing Shan!”
