Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1675: Overlooker of Myriad Realms

The Phase Realm was nowhere to be seen.

The main world had also disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan continued to swing his swords all the way until he could no longer summon anything that he gradually stopped.

On the Card in his Thought Sea, increasingly more vertical irises had appeared on the shadow that surrounded Gu Qing Shan, almost to the point where they filled the entire Card.

[Death... wish...]

The monster spoke in a violent tone.

But Gu Qing Shan still insisted on not turning around.

When the numerous realm spirits appeared, he had also sensed himself receiving some sort of protection.

No matter how ferocious that monster was acting behind him, the suffocating sensation of dread in Gu Qing Shan’s spirit sense had disappeared—–

The bloody giant appeared a bit solemn and muttered: 「 I had already sensed that something was wrong at the time, and sure enough, things are like this... 」

“Big guy, what’s the situation now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 We are spirits, but it is the owner of the world system’s foundations, so we can’t do anything to it 」the bloody giant replied.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart felt a bit heavy and asked: “You mean, there’s nothing we can do?”

「 No, this matter will need to be resolved with your intentions—— what exactly do you want to achieve? Whether it is to flee, to defeat it, or anything else 」the bloody giant said.

Gu Qing Shan solemnly replied: “If possible, I naturally want to eliminate it”

“——after all, I nearly died just now”

Hearing his words, the spirits all went silent.

A faint sound of the Blood Sea’s waves seemed to be audible from the void of space, gradually approaching them.

Lines of notifications popped up on the War God UI:

[Phase Realm: Blood Sea has manifested!]

Instantly, a blood-colored palace that was floating in the middle of a vast sea of crimson appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

This blood-colored palace had practically been destroyed already, there were only a few broken walls left standing in the gusts of wind.

Even the Blood Sea appeared slightly dim and lightly, with numerous corpses drifting through, devoid of all living beings.

What kind of power would be contained within such aftermath of destruction?

—–what meaning was there even if it had appeared now?

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking that, the Master of Valhalla’s voice sounded by his ears:

『 When the Silent Light Apocalypse was about to destroy the Blood Sea, it was fortunate that you managed to save me, otherwise, thing would not have been so easy today 』

“What do you mean by that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Master of Valhalla replied: 『 If the Blood Sea had been completely destroyed, where do you think you have been summoning these spirits from? 』

Gu Qing Shan was startled.

The Master of Valhalla recited an incantation.

Before Gu Qing Shan could react, an abrupt change had occurred——

All the liquid within the Blood Sea erupted like a reverse waterfall that flowed into the sky.

Wind.

The storm-force wind caused everything around them to become unclear and obscured.

The entire world had practically disappeared, leaving only a giant pillar of liquid blood that stretched across the void, so enormous that its ends couldn’t be seen at all.

Those spirits quickly flew towards the giant pillar of liquid blood, turning into glowing patterns before attaching themselves to the pillar, which resulted in a strange kind of resonance.

——at a glance, one might even think that they were originally patterns that had been carved onto the pillar.

Gu Qing Shan was completely stunned by this.

Sensing something, he turned back to the Card in his Thought Sea.

Only to see that the shadows around the figure seemed to have receded in an attempt to flee, but a massive bloody fog had appeared all around the darkness to trap it here, ensuring that it couldn’t go anywhere.

『 Gu Qing Shan 』the Master of Valhalla’s voice carried a complicated tone.

“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 You managed to survive, so this will be the moment for you to obtain a more profound level of Realm Force 』the Master of Valhalla said.

“I don’t understand what you mean” Gu Qing Shan said.

『 You will understand very soon—— just listen to me carefully. For now, as soon as you notice a certain Title or name in your mind, you have to call it out immediately 』the Master of Valhalla told him.

“What would happen then?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Everything was currently unknown to him, not even the War God UI had given any hints.

The Master of Valhalla’s voice abruptly became raised: 『 Everyone experiences very different things, so I don’t know—— pay attention, it has already begun! 』

While the two of them were talking, a drop of blood flew down from the sky and lightly attached itself to Gu Qing Shan’s forehead.

Gu Qing Shan was shocked into standing still.

He suddenly felt like his surroundings had been completely enveloped in the color of blood, other than the giant pillar, he truly couldn’t see anything else.

The color of blood grew thicker and thicker to create an increasingly higher platform right beneath his feet.

The various spirits cheered and called out in joy, as if they were all waiting for this exact moment.

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan found himself standing at the foot of the bloody pillar.

He instinctively put his hand on the pillar.

A certain thought immediately appeared in his mind.

This thought can sometimes be recalled, but sometimes would disappear without a clue, making it indiscernible and unpredictable.

Gradually, this thought became stronger and more intense, eventually forming into a few worlds.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a sense of understanding.

These words actually presented something, a unique form of address, a forgotten secret, an unspeakable...

—–Title.

Recalling the Master of Valhalla’s words, Gu Qing Shan immediately called out loudly: “Heed my summon, once again appear in this realm—–”

That name lingered at the very tip of his tongue, but was finally called out with considerable trouble:

“Devil of True Antiquity, Overlooker of Myriad Realms!”

Before he finished calling out this name, numerous pale things fell down from the indiscernible bloody void at the top of the pillar.

These pale, milky-white things poured down upon the Blood Sea like rain.

At that moment, everything was white except the Blood Sea itself.

Finally, the entire world began to be filled with these pale objects——

They were the skulls of numerous species, including but not limited to humans, devils, demons, beasts, demonic creatures, and so on and so forth.

Some of these skulls had grown long horns, some were stuck to one another, some had also been broken and were incomplete.

A desperate scream suddenly echoed behind Gu Qing Shan:

[No... it should have... already... perished...]

Clamor!

The numerous bones fell down and buried the world underneath it, not even the darkness monster full of vertical irises managed to escape.

Gu Qing Shan was standing on the only part of empty ground at the foot of the blood pillar.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly pulled his hand back.

He noticed that a bloody shadow had appeared on the part of the pillar touched by his hand.

This bloody shadow was even more gigantic compared to the giant, it was continuously changing, shifting, turning into horrible monsters that Gu Qing Shan had never seen before.

An eerie rune appeared in the middle of the gigantic bloody shadow’s forehead.

A voice called out in Gu Qing Shan’s mind:

「 I’m going to start eating it now, so I will be sending you back first 」

As he heard this voice, a sharp shriek resounded from around him———

His surroundings instantly changed.

The Blood Sea, the pillar, the eerie shadow, the numerous bones, all of them had disappeared without a trace.

Gu Qing Shan noticed that he was standing on black earth once again.

——the Phase Realm: Clock Tower.

It was as if everything that happened just now was a mere dream.

Another voice spoke up in his ears:

『 So it was the Overlooker of Myriad Realms, I didn’t expect that you would be able to awaken them! 』

——-this was the Master of Valhalla’s voice.

Gu Qing Shan regained his senses and asked: “What exactly happened just now?”

The Master of Valhalla answered: 『 The realm spirits had helped you establish the Saint Realm Halo, from which you managed to summon that entity from the Saint Realm to devour your enemy 』

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “How... could that be...”

『 ——Your enemy was merely the Judicial Lord of an incomplete world, so everything had already been decided when you summoned the Saint Pillar of the Blood Sea 』

The Master of Valhalla’s tone suddenly became hurried:

『 Hurry and take a look at your hand—— what did that entity bestow upon you earlier? 』

Gu Qing Shan opened his hand and looked at his palm.

A dimly glowing rune was silently sitting in his palm.

As he looked closely at the rune, it abruptly gave off a crimson glow that filled this entire world.

『 AAAAEEEEERR! 』

Billions of voices screamed out.

From under the ground, the grudgeful souls that had hidden earlier flew back out once again.

They all uttered horrified howls while flying through the air, attempting to escape from this world.

But it was useless.

Under the illumination of the bloody light, these grudgeful souls were all absorbed into the rune.

In an instant, all the grudgeful souls in the world had already been absorbed.

The rune silently hovered before jumping into Gu Qing Shan’s chest like an arc of lightning.

A new line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve received the Devil of True Antiquity, Overlooker of Myriad Realms’ bestowal]
