Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1631: His secret

Demon Dragon’s body stood tall in the desert without collapsing.

Like a statue, his expression remained frozen in eternal sorrow and coldness.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything.

He didn’t even have the time to mourn.

—-Shannu would definitely not be able to handle the attacks of two Unfathomable Apocalypses!

Gu Qing Shan opened his left eye that was swirling full of yellow fog and looked at Demon Dragon’s body one last time.

After that, a mass of white fog erupted around Gu Qing Shan and enveloped him.

...

Dream Island.

The inn.

Gu Qing Shan appeared, then tapped Dead Fatty on the shoulder.

“Time to work”

Dead Fatty was startled, then rapidly typed several sentences in a row.

His hat spoke rapidly:

[Brother Gu, what work?]

[Brother Gu, time is in complete chaos, did you know that?]

[Wa— brother Gu, why did you leave again?]

Gu Qing Shan had already vanished right in front of him.

Dead Fatty was very confused.

The countless worlds of the Boundless Void are already in complete chaos.

And yet Gu Qing Shan only appeared for a few seconds before disappearing again.

What exactly is going on?

While he was confused, a female voice suddenly spoke to Dead Fatty:

[Your grace, Death Dragon, welcome to Worlds Apocalypse Online: Human Regiment]

[Due to your reinforcement, his excellency Gu Qing Shan had gained a pivotal change in his battle]

[Attention, an Ultimate Mission to save the infinite worlds has been issued:]

[SSS-rank mission: Prayers collection and delivery]

[There isn’t much time left, please seize the opportunity]

...

The Wraith realm.

A mass of white fog scattered, revealing Gu Qing Shan who now stood in front to shield Shannu.

“Gongzi... I’m sorry...”

Shannu was covered in wounds and was even coughing up blood.

—–even with the power of [Invincible], she still received damage from being simultaneously attacked by two powerful Apocalypses.

Gu Qing Shan blinked and looked down, only to see that there was now another corpse on the ground.

Xiao Die.

Xiao Die was lying on the ground with a horrid expression.

She was also bloody all over.

Fei Yue was embracing her dead body with teary eyes.

One of Fei Yue’s arms was broken.

She was powerless to continue fighting.

Gu Qing Shan only glanced at them briefly before turning back to the enemy.

“You’re not at fault, Shannu” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

The Time Apocalypse’s voice was heard from the other side:

[Indeed, there is no need for you to feel sorrow. After all, all living beings will head towards destruction, and all of you will swiftly follow her]

Gu Qing Shan took note of his hand, seeing that it was covered in blood.

——the Time Apocalypse was the one who killed Xiao Die.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression was unchanged and spoke with a calm tone:

“It’s not easy to be a single mother, but you’d so readily kill even people of this minority group, I feel even more hatred towards the Apocalypse now”

The glowing cloaked skeleton stated: [We were so sure earlier that you were acquainted with the wielder of the Divine Weapon, but not that you would be able to convince him to commit suicide and forcefully banish the Divine Weapon away from this Reality Gate]

The wraith cultivator continued: [Indeed, but that was already the full extent of what you can achieve, all living beings would still end up being destroyed by us]

Gu Qing Shan shook his head, a sword was now suddenly in his hands.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

[A sword? In front of frozen time, swordsmanship is nothing but a laughable skill] the wraith cultivator commented with the tone of a superior.

In an instant, the wraith cultivator vanished without a trace.

——he had frozen time to cause everything to stand still.

The wraith cultivator casually approached Gu Qing Shan.

Within the frozen time, he had the ability to attack and eliminate any enemies.

[Huh?]

The wraith cultivator suddenly stopped.

Across from him, hundreds of sword phantoms had manifested all around Gu Qing Shan’s body.

——in the very instant before time was frozen, Gu Qing Shan had already unleashed hundreds of sword phantoms, ensuring that he had no gaps in his defenses and left no room to be attacked.

None of these sword phantoms was mundane, as all of them contained Gu Qing Shan’s full strength.

The wraith cultivator slowly circled around the sword phantoms.

He paused, thought briefly, then walked another circle.

——-even after circling twice, he still couldn’t find an angle to attack from!

[This level of swordsmanship... I’ve never seen him use it before, did he actually advance further?]

The wraith cultivator then chuckled.

[——but what use is that?]

[In front of me, there has never been a being that I couldn’t destroy]

He clenched his fist and struck the frozen sword phantoms at full strength——

Bam!!!

Time returned to normal.

Gu Qing Shan was sent deep into the ground with a single punch.

The entire world trembled.

The glowing cloaked skeleton approached him and said: [You’ve just destroyed this world. Did you see through his true background just now?]

It was pulling a corpse with its hand.

Fei Yue.

—–during that previous instant, Fei Yue was killed by it as well.

[I still feel something was strange...]

The wraith cultivator said and waved his hand.

A screen appeared in front of them, displaying some of what Gu Qing Shan had done.

But none of this included the clues they wanted to know.

The wraith cultivator explained: [Time records everything, but he had always been moving back and forth within the flow of time, so I wouldn’t be able to discern his true backgrounds until I come into contact with him a few more times]

[Let’s wait for him to come back up] the glowing cloaked skeleton said.

The two Apocalypses stood above the deep hole and waited.

—–but Gu Qing Shan didn’t reappear again right away.

[He didn’t just die from that, did he? If he was truly that weak, this level of secret isn’t worth our time] the wraith cultivator curtly said.

[I can sense that he still isn’t dead, I’ll go catch him] he glowing cloaked skeleton said.

...

Deep underground.

Gu Qing Shan was embedded into a large chunk of magma rock, not struggling at all.

“War God UI” he called out in his mind.

[I’m here] the War God UI replied.

“All the variables are gone”

“I want to issue a new War God Quest. The Quest objective is to stop these two Apocalypses from destroying everything, please take the current circumstances into consideration and provide me with a corresponding unique combat state” Gu Qing Shan said.

—–as if it had been waiting for him to say this for a long while, the War God UI instantly manifested several lines of glowing text:

[The War God UI has accepted your request]

[The target of your sword is the goal of the War God Quest]

[War God Quest created: Stopping destruction]

[During this Quest, you’ve received the unique combat state: Tenacity]

[Tenacity: Whenever you perform a technique, even if you were interrupted in the middle, as long as you continue following its steps, the technique you’re performing would not disappear and persist] historical

[Attention: In consideration of yours and my limited Soul Points, this state can only be activated once]

Gu Qing Shan read through the messages and finally pushed himself out of the magma rock.

“Lady Darksea, how did it go?” he was breathing heavily as he asked.

Lady Darksea responded: [I’ve transported the Death Dragon through 10 worlds and collected enough Prayers]

“Send him over right away!” Gu Qing Shan said.

Before he finished his words, an overwhelming force struck his body.

Gu Qing Shan was sent flying out of the hole through numerous layers of rock and flung back into the air.

The wraith cultivator stood in mid-air with his fist clenched tightly.

The glowing cloaked skeleton swiftly flew out following him.

[This time, we’re going to restrain you until we discern the true secret you’re carrying!] the glowing cloaked skeleton coldly declared.

In that instant, Gu Qing Shan shouted: “Adorable!”

Xiu——-

A squeak responded to his call.

At the very next moment, the wraith cultivator suddenly became still.

The glowing cloaked skeleton was also standing motionlessly in mid-air.

——both of them had been affected by frozen time!

A fatty wearing a green baseball cap suddenly appeared.

The fatty was breathing heavily as he placed his hand on Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

He typed a message:

[This time, the number of Prayers is twice as much as before—- I’ve done everything I could]

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Thank you. Lady Darksea, hurry up and send him away, don’t leave him here”

Dead Fatty instantly vanished.

Lines of glowing text swiftly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan:

[You’ve collected enough Prayers to trigger the Deathmatch Dance]
