Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1576: Su Xue Er’s intention!

With the dark Space Vortex.

A distorted spatial dome that was several dozen meters in diameter suddenly manifested itself.

Pang———

As the dome broke apart, a person appeared.

Gu Qing Shan.

“It’s safe” he whispered.

A burst of black flames appeared from his body, manifesting into a black dog.

“We’re currently in the Space Vortex? Which point in time is this?” Boss asked.

“I’m not sure, but I know for sure it’s a certain point in the future” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The two of them looked into the dark void.

There was nothing in the void, only a continuously sweeping wind and the occasional drifting corpse.

Wait a minute——

“Look” Gu Qing Shan whispered.

“Hm, I can see it” Boss replied.

In the distance, numerous corpses drifted through the darkness.

Other than where they were standing, everywhere else in this part of the void was filled with the corpses of various living beings.

A huge burst of black flames abruptly erupted from his body in an uncontrollable manner.

Boss looked at him and said:

“There are too many living beings who died, the Law of Death that you wield has grown in an unprecedented manner, surpassing your power as a cultivator”

Gu Qing Shan’s expression was solemn as he explained: “The Law of Death has informed me that within the entire Space Vortex, there are very few people remaining——— we need to quickly find someone to ask about the current situation”

Boss took out the Book of Prophesized Destinies and continuously flipped through it until he reached a certain page.

That page depicted an island.

The island was surrounded by a thin layer of light, which seemed to be some sort of barrier. The drifting corpses outside the barrier were completely unable to approach the island.

“It’s around a hundred miles to our East——- how strange, this place seems to be very close to the Doomsday Necropolis” Boss pondered.

“Come on, let’s go take a look” Gu Qing Shan said.

The two of them quickly flew until they reached the outside of the island.

Gu Qing Shan placed his hand on the barrier, which instantly gave off a response.

The fluctuation spread in every direction.

Something seemed to have been disturbed on the island.

Lines of glowing text also appeared on the War God UI:

[Barrier: Conceal]

[This barrier was created through the combination of almost a hundred different concealment techniques]

———-no wonder this island can still remain safe!

Gu Qing Shan silently thought to himself.

“They’re coming” Boss said.

Gu Qing Shan looked over, only to see about a dozen Professionists flying away from the island towards them with clear hostility.

“Who’s there?” a burly man shouted.

Gu Qing Shan showed his empty hands to signal that he carried no hostility and loudly called out: “I accidentally wandered to this place, I’d like to take a short rest in your shelter”

The group carefully observed him.

Hm.

A human male young man.

“Fifth, check him” the burly man shouted.

A wretched-looking gnome emerged from behind the burly man and scanned Gu Qing Shan from top to bottom.

“Third, he’s from a Cultivation-type civilization, most likely not an Apocalypse spy”

The burly man’s expression slightly relaxed and mumbled “Then—–”

“Wait!”

A female voice called out.

A mercenary-looking woman emerged from behind the group and scolded them: “Do you know what kind of era we’re currently in? Letting people inside so arbitrarily like that”

The burly man narrowed his eyes: “Fifth has already checked him, he shouldn’t be related to an Apocalypse”

The female mercenary coldly chuckled: “Every single world other than us within this area had already been destroyed, and you’re still holding such wishful thinking?”

“Then, tell me what’s so suspicious about him” the burly man focused his attention and asked.

The female mercenary stepped in front of everyone and pointed at Gu Qing Shan, declaring: “Apocalypse envoy, you might be able to fool others, but you can’t fool my scanning technique!”

Gu Qing Shan smiled: “You can use any method you want, but I’d still be a human cultivator, that can’t be faked”

The woman mocked: “Don’t even try to fool me”

“But I’m not” Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied.

The female mercenary coldly asked: “Then tell me, during this era when every world is being destroyed, why are you still a virgin?”

Gu Qing Shan froze.

“You’re right, this is a time when almost every world is already destroyed, how could a virgin possibly exist in such an era!” the burly man suddenly slapped his head out of realization.

In this era where every day could be their last, who wouldn’t try to resolve such matters right away?

For everyone, even a little bit of affection would immediately result in mutual consent and a relationship.

“That’s true, I can’t believe that I missed such an obvious detail” the wretched-looking gnome sighed.

Everyone else also nodded in agreement and realization.

Gu Qing Shan’s voice became cold: “You’re being unreasonable, how could such a thing denote whether or not I’m an Apocalyptic spy!?”

Shroud was also in full agreement while standing next to him and said: “These people don’t understand love at all——- Gu Qing Shan, we’re leaving!”

“Let’s go!”

The two of them turned around.

The void of space suddenly moved.

A young girl appeared in front of them.

She was wearing a black miniskirt and thigh-high knee socks, her hair was done up into a ponytail with a pair of cat ears above her head.

It was Kitty.

Kitty had actually appeared here!

“Gu Qing Shan, Boss, Laura sensed the two of you just now, so I came here to pick the two of you up” she smiled.

Gu Qing Shan and Boss were first surprised, then delighted.

“Kitty! It’s good to finally see you again!” Boss said.

“Which point in time is it currently? Hurry and tell me, I need to confirm something” Gu Qing Shan said.

Kitty shook her head: “I don’t know either”

“”You don’t know?”” Gu Qing Shan and Boss asked in unison.

“Yeah” Kitty answered with an obvious tone: “We’ve also just emerged from the Temporal Oasis state and returned to the River of Time when Laura detected the two of you”

Gu Qing Shan was shaken.

That’s right.

I used the three coins and their power of [Distortion] to return to the past.

At the time, I wanted to enter the point in time when the Eternal Abyss and the Wraith realm officially began their war, the War God UI had given quite a few notifications at the time, one of them was:

...

[Because your starting point was the Temporal Oasis: World of the Spire, your ‘present’ will be the same point in time that this isolated world arrives at in the future]

...

——-that’s why the World of the Spire and I had arrived at the same point of time in the future!

Gu Qing Shan stood completely still as various thoughts rushed through his mind.

The void of space began to flicker right at this moment.

Anna appeared from the void of space and tossed the teleportation scroll in her hand aside.

She practically jumped forward to hug Gu Qing Shan tightly.

“Uoo, Qing Shan, it has been so tough waiting for you in the Temporal Oasis” she buried her head in his chest and whimpered.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and hugged her tightly in return.

It was completely silent around them.

Inside the light barrier, someone whispered to the female mercenary: “Look at that, he really is pure”

The female mercenary looked at Gu Qing Shan in disbelief.

Flashes of light appeared one after another.

Familiar faces showed up one by one.

Barry arrived.

Followed by Ye Ru Xi, Zhang Ying Hao, and Ye Fei Li.

Ye Ru Xi crossed her arms: “Hey, it’s not too late to act lovey-dovey like that later on, but we’re currently in quite a terrible situation”

Gu Qing Shan seemed like he hadn’t snapped out of it.

Anna also didn’t look up.

Knowing the true reason for this sappy scene, Boss cleared his throat and steered attention away from them: “What exactly is the current situation?”

Ye Ru Xi frowned and answered: “When Kitty came to find you, all of us scattered to investigate our surroundings. According to what we have found, the entire Space Vortex seems to be on the verge of destruction”

“Because of the Apocalypse?” Boss asked.

With another shift in the void of space, Little Dusk appeared.

She looked at Gu Qing Shan a bit before answering: “Yes, it’s because of the Apocalypse. Innumerable, countless Apocalypses. The Reality Gate had been pushed completely wide open, the Apocalypses are rampaging without end, and there aren’t many worlds within the entire Space Vortex that have managed to survive”

“Has the situation really gotten that terrible?” Boss appeared confused.

Barry replied with a heavy tone: “It’s true. I’ve calculated earlier, even if we had a very long time to improve our strength thanks to [Order], there are simply too many Apocalypses. We’d be defeated by sheer number alone”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: “What about the Samsara? Have you found any information about the Samsara worlds?”

Little Dusk replied: “I discovered many destroyed Samsara worlds—– they were the same as the other worlds, many of which had been completely destroyed without a single survivor remaining”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Strange.

Why has the Samsara Clash for Supremacy still not occurred at this point in time?

That can’t be right.

Now that everything is coming to an end, if they don’t begin right now, there wouldn’t be any time left.

What exactly is...

Boss also appeared confused and muttered: “Strange... Why were we taken to this exact point in time? These are clearly highly unstable circumstances with very little room to overturn the situation”

After staying silent for a while, Gu Qing Shan sighed heavily.

He patted Anna’s shoulder and said: “It’s great to see everyone again, but Boss and I need to leave again”

Everyone turned to him.

“Leave? Where are you going?” Anna grabbed his hand and asked.

Gu Qing Shan told everyone what they had gone through in the Age of Immemorial.

Everyone was shocked.

Anna was ecstatic, burying even more comfortably in Gu Qing Shan’s chest: “Then it turns out we truly were predestined since our previous lives, Qing Shan”

“So you’re saying that when Su Xue Er sent you to this point in time, she was actually implying something?” Little Dusk asked.

“Yes” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

“But what was she implying?” Little Dusk asked.

“Firstly, there is no longer a way to fight against the Apocalypse in this era; secondly, at a certain point in the past, there is still a young girl called little Wei waiting for me and Boss to save her; and finally, I’m the only one who could achieve this feat”

Gu Qing Shan swiped his hand into the void of space and displayed his palm for everyone to see.

Three coins.

One coin depicted the Angel of Condemnation, one depicted the Demon King of [Order], and the final one depicted the Great Bramble Tree.

With another spatial fluctuation, Laura had also teleported here.

Seeing the three coins, she muttered: “That’s the Explorer of Countless Mysteries, Distorter of History, Key of the Past, Fragment of the Traveler’s Proof, the Space-Time Coins”

Boss’ expression changed several times before he said: “I understand now!”

His gaze met with Gu Qing Shan.

A look of unclear realization appeared in both of their eyes.

“If...” Gu Qing Shan said.

Boss didn’t say anything and simply nodded.

Gu Qing Shan chuckled: “Xue Er... I finally understand what you wanted to say...”

The others looked at them in confusion.

“What are... you two talking about?” Barry asked

Gu Qing Shan explained: “It’s like this——- the three coins can trigger the power of [Distortion] to make me the only individual with the permission to distort history”

Shroud continued: “As the ‘Distorter’, he can directly influence the course of history, but he can’t do anything that was related to himself, or anything and anyone who was related to him, otherwise, he would still be erased by the Law of Time and Law of Fate”

Everyone nodded and waited for the next part.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “As soon as I activate [Distortion], the Space-Time Coins would lose their ability to travel through time. I would have to live from the moment I arrived in the past all the way to the ‘present’ as determined in the River of Time—— this ‘present’ was initially determined to be the point when the World of the Spire returned to the timeline in the future”

Anna asked: “Which means, when we exited the ‘Temporal Oasis’ state, it was also when [Distortion] ended, right?”

Gu Qing Shan nodded and took a deep breath.

He looked at the three coins in his hand again.

Wondrous fluctuations could be felt radiating from them once again.

[Distortion] has ended.

Gu Qing Shan muttered: “——in other words, as soon as I returned to the future, the three coins had already regained their powers”

Laura suddenly realized something and muttered while looking back and forth between Boss and Gu Qing Shan: “Then you, both of you——”

Boss clenched his fist tightly and affirmed her: “Gu Qing Shan had retrieved all six Sealing Tokens, and as long as there is enough time, I would be able to awaken my powers again——- I still need to save little Wei”

Gu Qing Shan nodded: “Boss is now currently attaching his soul to my summoned technique, meaning he’s the only one who could travel back in time with me”

“We will make a trip back to the past in search of the Samsara’s issue, the way to fight against the Unfathomable Apocalypse, and save everyone!”
