Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1221: Stealing Huang Quan!

Midnight.

The grand banquet was finally over.

Even the pixies were already dead drunk, although some of them yelled out to host another banquet, their bodies were quite honest——- as they fell to sleep right on the drinking table.

Barry stood up from the drinking bar and staggered as he walked outside.

After walking a few steps, he fully sobered up.

“Hah... seems like he’s calling me...”

Barry mumbled as he flew up towards the top of one of the spires.

Two men were sitting with their backs towards him, sitting at the edge of the Spire, drinking a canned drink while watching the world below.

Gu Qing Shan.

And Boss.

Next to them, was a girl.

Ye Ru Xi.

“I heard you calling me” Barry lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

“That’s right, I have something I need to tell you” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He observed the faintly glowing barrier of light right above, sensing the night breeze brushing past his cheeks while releasing his inner sight to observe the living beings of this world.

Almost everyone was asleep.

The scholars of the Spire were keeping their eyes wide open to observe the history outside the barrier.

Ye Fei Li was still throwing up in a toilet.

Zhang Ying Hao stood next to him with a bottle of water.

Laura was asleep.

After drinking, Kitty found a silent place to sit and continue writing her book.

Anna——

Anna walked out from the shadow of the Spire towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan offered his hand.

Anna took it, stood next to him, and silently watched everyone.

Gu Qing Shan then started speaking: “The previous Sacrificial Swords that I used in the war actually cost trillions of Prayers to perform, so I hope that everyone can understand very clearly. If another danger arises, even if everyone relies on me to overcome it, I wouldn’t be able to”

Following that, Gu Qing Shan explained Lady Fusi’s situation to everyone.

They all fell into thought.

Gu Qing Shan turned to Ye Ru Xi and asked: “You are currently the strongest person among us. Can you tell us, according to what you feel, what state is [Chaos] currently in? And what state are you in?”

Ye Ru Xi replied: “After that battle, a majority of [Chaos]’s origin power was sucked away, so it had fallen into an unprecedentedly weakened state, the Awaitings of [Chaos] had also fallen into deep slumber”

“Comparatively—–”

Ye Ru Xi clapped her hands.

A complete suit of armor appeared from the void of space and manifested on her body.

Her presence turned overwhelming and full of dignity.

It was now that everyone recalled, aside from Ye Fei Li, she was also a Deity of [Chaos].

——-as well as the strongest one.

“The deeper they sleep, the more convenient I can borrow their power”

“Gu Qing Shan, you saved me from my previous situation——-”

Ye Ru Xi smiled and continued:

“Both Anna and Kitty had treated me very well, and it has been a long time since I’ve been able to mingle with close friends like this”

“Don’t worry, I’ll stay here and protect everyone together with you”

Stay here and protect everyone?

Gu Qing Shan smiled but didn’t give her a direct reply.

He recalled the future he had foreseen.

——I can’t remain here and do nothing.

Gu Qing Shan then spoke: “Let us talk about [Order] now, Lady Darksea”

[I’m here. Gu Qing Shan, why do you still carry only the [Demon King Order] and not my [Order] as well?]

A chiming female voice resounded.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer her and instead said: “You can tell Barry and Boss your request, they’ll be in charge of it from now on”

Lady Darksea replied: [Understood. Mr. Barry and Greatest Above the Star Crown, please listen to me. The [Order] is currently still in its most primitive state, in order to deal with our future battles, you will need to rally everyone in order to allow Order to quickly evolve]

Barry was surprised: “Wait, you mean the current [Order] is still in a primitive state?”

[Human Regiment was always meant to be the most primitive state of this Order, the next phase of evolution would be All Races Regiment] Lady Darksea replied. historical

Everyone exchanged glances.

“After carrying [Order], my body has recovered considerably” Boss muttered: “—–if that’s the case, even without me saying anything, everyone will madly help you evolve”

Barry also laughed out loud.

He openly stated: “Helping [Order] evolve is also helping ourselves. Now that everyone is in this isolated environment, it’s the perfect chance to grow stronger in every way. Once we leave, we’ll be able to go directly against the Wraith realm”

Gu Qing Shan turned to Boss and questioned: “I have something to ask, why are you so sure that the Eternal Abyss would lose the war?”

Boss replied: “It’s no secret, simply because the enemy is a Samsara world”

“As you should know, the Wraith realm is part of the Samsara——- a world with a complete closed-cycle structure. Those Wraiths were already powerful, but if they die in battle, they’ll simply head to Huang Quan, use a secret technique to extract their living souls and put themselves into the bodies of powerful wraiths and revive again”

Gu Qing Shan pondered a bit.

This was true.

The other party has a large Huang Quan world fragment under them, and the Deities who rule that Huang Quan fragment must obey the orders of the wraiths.

—–which means the wraiths can quickly be resurrected after death and get back into the fray.

Boss sighed emotionally: “This way, the war is never going to end, the enemy will be literally endless. Never mind the current Eternal Abyss, even if the Deities of the past Inner Plane were to be resurrected, they’d still be defeated”

“Other than that, they also have certain allies, for example, a world called the ‘Tomb of Myriad Beasts’; not to mention other secrets that the Abyss still hasn’t been able to probe”

“That’s why, the Eternal Abyss had tried to come up with a few solutions, unfortunately, they weren’t put into practice in time”

“Solutions? Did you already have them prepared?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Using the power of the Eternal Abyss, we created a group of completely new Abyssal forms, which carry the unique characteristics of the wraiths” Boss explained.

“So you wanted to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks?” Barry asked.

Boss nodded: “We specifically chose a group of the most excellent members of the Abyss to use these Abyssal Forms, then did everything in our power to send them into the Wraith realm, wanting to destroy them from inside”

“That’s a very good idea” Barry praised.

“But it was already too late. When all of us traveled to the past, the Abyss would surely not be able to endure the other party’s attacks and had definitely awoken” Boss sighed and said.

After a bit of silence, Gu Qing Shan said: “Destroying the Wraith realm from inside is too slow, I actually have another idea”

“What would that be?” Boss asked with intrigue.

“Stealing Huang Quan!”

Gu Qing Shan elaborated: “If we took their Huang Quan world, they would no longer have a way to continuously create more wraiths”

Everyone was speechless.

This was a ridiculous idea, but it would ruin the most crucial part of the enemy’s forces.

Boss slowly digested Gu Qing Shan’s words and said: “So you want to steal their Huang Quan world, then fuse it with our world?”

“That’s right. After the previous battle, all the worlds of the past have entered my eye, so I’m a bit confident in being able to achieve this now” Gu Qing Shan replied.

His left eye was flashing with the images of infinite worlds.

His two World Techniques had disappeared, but a new one was being created instead.

If that is truly possible...

But this is such a huge matter that it would surely cause the Wraith realm to retaliate in a frenzy, so a proper plan of action must be drafted first .

Not to mention the so-called ‘Tomb of Myriad Beasts’ and the other secrets of the Samsara.

How could I stay stuck here?

“Your eye—–” Anna worriedly said.

“It’s only temporarily blind, the pixies have prepared some medicine for me, as long as the world origin within my eye thoroughly stabilizes, I’d be able to use it and heal” Gu Qing Shan said.

Anna calmed down.

—–after all, the pixies were most well known for their healing treasures and offensive Quipcrafts.

Boss and Barry exchanged glances and lightly nodded.

Barry was delighted: “That is a good solution as well, once we return to the future, we’d be able to follow this course of action”

Boss said: “We’ll need to defeat the Wraith realm as soon as possible. Perhaps that might put the Eternal Abyss back into slumber, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable”

Ye Ru Xi also said: “Then it’s decided, we’ll all remain to protect this place, help [Order] evolve, as well as make the preparations for stealing Huang Quan”

Watching everyone, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help squeezing Anna’s hand a bit tighter.

“No, that’s not that I meant”

He sighed and couldn’t help but say that.

What he foresaw in the future was still clear in front of his eyes.

If we continue drifting forward through the River of Time, the only outcome for the 900 million World Layers would be complete destruction.

——-destruction at the Wraith realm’s hands.

At that time, it would be too late to reverse the situation even if we returned.

Not to mention, the Reality Gate that would soon be broken through, the dying giant corpse, and Reneedol!

She wanted to get rid of Shifu!

Gu Qing Shan felt his heart becoming tense.

“What’s the matter?” Boss watched his expression and faintly noticed something wrong.

“There are some things that must be done right away, if we wait until we return to the future, it might already be too late” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Barry shrugged: “But we’re currently stranded here without a way to leave this world”

Ye Ru Xi added: “Even if we can leave, there’s a very real chance of being erased by the Laws of Space-Time and Fate, because everything here had already been altered, which would cause a deep influence on time...”

“That’s true, but it’s not the absolute truth” after saying so, Gu Qing Shan opened his hand.

Three coins silently sat in his hand.

—–the Space-Time Divine Artifacts.

Explorer of Countless Mysteries, Distorter of History, Key of the Past, Fragment of the Traveler’s Proof, the Space-Time Coins.

These were the three true Space-Time Coins that Demon Dragon entrusted to Gu Qing Shan before his reincarnation.

Anna was unconvinced and asked: “Qing Shan, are you sure you won’t be erased by the Laws of Space-Time if you leave?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Of course, because I do not belong to ‘the past that has already occurred’, nor am I a ‘living being whose fate is being changed’. And I don’t intend to go to the future”

Boss pondered briefly, then asked: “Then, you’re thinking of traveling to a moment in the past?”

“The very moment that the Wraith realm and the Eternal Abyss began their war” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Boss shook his head: “Too many things occurred all at once during that moment, each of which could easily decide the fate of all future living beings; if you go there, you’d easily distort a lot of important points in history”

Barry added: “If that’s the case, you’ll be immediately erased by the Law of Fate and Law of Space-Time anyways”

“It’ll be fine”

Gu Qing Shan looked over everyone and came out with it all: “I’ve already seen the future. That is a future that we definitely cannot accept, so I must go”

“You will die” Boss replied.

“I won’t; these three true Space-Time Coins have a unique power that will protect me”

Finally, Gu Qing Shan embraced Anna and told everyone: “I leave this place to you all. Do not relax yourselves, keep striving to become even stronger”

He tossed the three Space-Time Coins forward.

A brilliant and unusual light appeared from above to envelop Gu Qing Shan.

“Everyone, do your best, I would not only change a few things in the past, but also continuously move forward along the timeline, thus waiting for you all at some point in the future”

“At that time, we shall stand side by side once again and eliminate our enemies”

Before he finished his words, the three coins had already erupted in overwhelming power fluctuations.

—–[Distortion] had already been activated!

[Distortion: By expending an appropriate amount of Soul Points, you can become the only individual with the permission to distort history]

[Attention: You may affect or alter the course of history, but the events you alter cannot be related to your past in any way, nor can you affect any people or objects that are related to your past, or you will be erased by the combined power of the Law of Fate and Law of Time]

[Special attention: When you activate ‘Distortion’, the Space-Time Coins will lose their function to travel through time, until the exact moment that you naturally arrive at the point you began traveling back through the River of Time]

In the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan vanished from the Spire.
