Chapter 1574: Unfathomable Apocalypse
“This will certainly provide them some peace for a period of time, but it’s most likely still not enough” Boss said.
He was using his telepathic senses to perceive everything occurring in the world at once.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “Of course it’s not enough, that’s why I told my Grand Master about Lady Darksea’s whereabouts”
“Xie Gu Hong?”
“Yes”
“Is that so… then there wouldn’t be any more problems. They will most likely have grown much stronger before the 10,000-year time limit was reached”
“That’s right, so it’s time for us to go”
A flash of light.
The two of them vanished from the mountaintop.
…
The Wraith realm.
The Wraith Temple.
The sound of music suddenly manifested:
Puu bon bonbon!
Puu bon bon bon!
Puu bon bon bon bon bon——
Gu Qing Shan and Boss both appeared.
“I’ll go pick someone up” Boss said.
Immediately after that, he vanished.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and looked around.
The Wraith Temple was practically destroyed already.
Over half of the angels and wraiths had already lost their lives, the rest of them hurriedly fled as Gu Qing Shan glanced at them.
——-this person killed the three Wraith Lords and defeated the Grand Empress as well, who else would be able to do anything to him?
Only Demon Dragon stood still a bit further away with a slight expression of regret.
“You actually managed to kill the Grand Empress of the Pantheon” Demon Dragon commented.
“I didn’t do it myself, but the results would have been the same regardless” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Demon Dragon took a few steps back and said: “In reality, I’ve already predicted this outcome. When it comes to combat tactics, you’re unlike anyone I’ve ever seen before”
Gu Qing Shan smiled and casually said: “Now it’s your turn”
He drew two swords from the void of s.p.a.ce behind him and tightly wielded them in his hands.
The twin swords Heaven and Earth.
Demon Dragon watched this and muses: “You gave me a chance”
“That’s right, I still don’t understand why you can’t just remain a good person” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Demon Dragon clenched his teeth and spoke with a grudgeful tone: “Because I was unwilling to accept——- you and your comrades had received the help of [Order], your advancements would always be a step ahead of me, I would never be able to catch up——- I would remain a n.o.body for the rest of my life”
Gu Qing Shan sighed and slowly spoke: “A n.o.body? If the Apocalypse didn’t exist, I would be more than willing to be a n.o.body who runs a little restaurant—— that would simply be heavenly compared to this”
Demon Dragon shook his head: “This is the difference between you and me. I refuse to be trampled on by anyone, no matter the era, I want to become an ent.i.ty with the ultimate power to decide, that is the meaning of my life”
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
Oong oong oong oong——-
The swords in his hand vibrated while giving off sharp sword qi.
“——When I helped you reincarnate, I should have taken a look at the level of elementary education in that world” Gu Qing Shan with a slightly dejected tone.
But his eyes were sharp.
Demon Dragon retreated a few more steps and produced a gem in his hand.
Glancing at the gem, he felt a bit regretful to use it here.
This was a Causality Law gem called the [Gem of Tiny Complicated Restraints], the only one of its kind within the Reality Gate.
Although it wasn’t a particularly powerful combative artifact, it contained power similar in nature to Occultism.
Once the power of this gem was unleashed, Gu Qing Shan and his comrades would be caught on by small and tiny obstacles that would make them forget about the most important matter.
—–Gu Qing Shan will die here.
With that in mind, Demon Dragon resolutely crushed the gem.
“Gu Qing Shan, you won’t be able to kill me. The Apocalypses outside the Reality Gate are observing this place through me, I am the proof and the catalyst, a base of operation that they are unwilling to arbitrarily lose. And now, everything will come to an end”
As soon as the gem was crushed, a ray of light descended from above to envelop Demon Dragon and took him away.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a chill.
Just now, he had attempted to attack several times, but he would always stop at the very last moment.
It was as if something terrible would have occurred if he had actually attacked.
Silently standing there, he sensed the disturbances with his spirit sense.
A line of glowing text suddenly popped up on the War G.o.d UI:
[You’ve been affected by the ‘Gem of Tiny Complicated Restraints’, you will——-]
Before Gu Qing Shan could read any further, a figure appeared in front of him.
The black dog had brought back a young girl with him.
“Gu Qing Shan, this is an important reserve member of [Order], her name is little Wei” the black dog introduced her.
Gu Qing Shan refocused his thoughts and looked at the nervous girl in front of him, smiling: “Nice to meet you, I’m Gu Qing Shan, I’m—–”
“Sir Shroud” the black dog said.
“I’m sir Shroud’s friend” Gu Qing Shan followed up.
Could there be some sort of issue with this girl?
At any other point in time, this was a small detail that could be left for later when there’s time.
But now that the gem’s power was affecting them, a strange atmosphere was dissolving Gu Qing Shan’s sense of danger.
——-it was as if they were relaxing after lunch, chatting while sitting in the shade.
A very casual atmosphere.
The young girl bowed to greet Gu Qing Shan and introduced herself: “Nice to meet you, I’m little Wei, a servant of sir Shroud”
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “Hey, Boss, didn’t Lady Darksea call on you to save her? Why is she suddenly your servant now?”
“She insisted on following me, it was very troublesome” the black dog closed his eyes and answered.
Everyone was very calm.
The young girl earnestly said: “I wanted to follow sir Shroud in order to learn more, after all, in the world I came from, there were very few who could actually break through the void of s.p.a.ce. Not to mention, I feel very close to sir Shroud—— especially so”
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Close? That’s strange, did you also raise a dog at home?”
The young girl’s eyes lit up and answered: “That’s right, I used to have a black dog at home, it was exactly the same as sir Shroud, but regretfully, it ran away while in heat”
“Silence!” Boss coldly said.
Gu Qing Shan asked with interest: “Did that dog have some sort of distinct characteristic? I can head to your world and help you look for it”
The girl delightedly answered: “It had a skill that no other dog could, that is—— it could make a heart shape with its paws”
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
There’s no need to probe any further, this girl is clean.
Hah, now that everything is resolved, should I make a nice meal for everyone?
“Boss———”
Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth to speak, only to see the black dog reaching his paws forward to form the shape of a heart.
“This is way too simple; how could other dogs not know how to do this?” the black dog boastfully said.
Gu Qing Shan paused.
Little Wei also paused.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but comment: “Look, he knows how to do it”
“He does…” little Wei nodded.
The two of them both stared closely at the black dog.
“Did you run away while in heat in the past?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask the black dog.
The young girl also appeared anxious.
The black dog immediately froze and bare his fangs: “I’m not that black dog, I’m a new one!”
Suddenly, Shannu’s voice rang out:
“—–no more stalling!”
She appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce and transformed into a sword, swiftly making a small cut on Gu Qing Shan’s body.
[Law Breaker]!
Gu Qing Shan’s expression suddenly changed.
The lazy atmosphere from earlier had also vanished.
New lines of glowing text then appeared on the War G.o.d UI:
[The Causality Law: Tiny Complicated Restraints, has been removed by Law Breaker]
[You and your comrades had escaped that state]
The black dog also snapped out from his previous state of mind.
His eyes twitched slightly and dejectedly put a paw over his forehead: “I actually tried to make a heart shape…”
“Oh no, Boss, I can sense that something very serious is about to occur” Gu Qing Shan anxiously said.
“That’s right, I can already sense the Reality Gate being opened, a true Apocalypse has entered!” the black dog hurriedly replied.
Fwoom!!!
A ma.s.s of light descended from the sky like a waterfall.
This ma.s.s of white light began to rapidly expand.
All living beings who were caught in the light, regardless if they were a wraith or angel, were reduced to a set of skeletons and completely lost their lives.
The light continued to expand without pause.
Sensing the insurmountable destructive power radiating from the white light, Gu Qing Shan immediately shouted: “Hurry, catch onto me, we’re leaving right away!”
The black dog’s entire body trembled.
“No good! Gu Qing Shan, we won’t be able to leave, this is an Unfathomable-rank Apocalypse, it was this same Apocalypse that defeated me in the past!” he shouted back.
A ma.s.s of white fog manifested around Gu Qing Shan’s body, but quickly dissipated.
[Fog Realm Descent] wasn’t working!
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:
[Unfathomable Apocalypse: The Ending Light]
[World Techniques lose their effects in front of this Apocalypse, Fate cannot stop this Apocalypse, all things and all living beings are helpless to do anything but perish within this Apocalypse]
[Note: The moment of illumination is the moment of demise]
[——quickly think of something, or you will die!]
Gu Qing Shan skimmed through it and quickly looked back at the white light.
The white light was expanding to fill this entire world at a terrifying rate.
From what could currently be seen, it would continue to expand towards countless worlds.
“It will directly destroy all the worlds!” Boss shouted.
There are no other solutions——
Gu Qing Shan clenched his teeth as a faint golden glow appeared around his body.
[Shelter]!
One of three powers of the Earth G.o.d, capable of taking anyone around him back to the Earth World.
There was no time to consider other things, this was now the only solution available to him, he had already arrived at the bridge, and now he had to cross it.
“Boss, hide into my Thought Sea, and you little Wei——-”
He grabbed little Wei.
Right at this moment, at a different location in this world.
Su Xue Er held her breath while lying in wait while wielding the long sniper rifle in her hand.
A harmonious female voice resounded in her ears:
[Attention, event overlap rate at 99.1%, variances are within acceptable range, that historic event has been confirmed to be occurring]
[Corresponding time node reached]
[Gu Qing Shan is about to activate the power of the Earth G.o.d to return to the Earth World]
[Preparing—–]
[3]
[2]
[1!]
Su Xue Er pulled the trigger.
Bang!!!
A flash of ignition visible from the horizon erupted from the nozzle of the rifle, bypa.s.sing every obstacle in its way to traverse the long distance and struck Gu Qing Shan’s body.
Right at this moment, the black dog had only just turned back into a burst of flames and entered Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea, while Gu Qing Shan was still a little bit from touching little Wei.
The intense shockwaves exploded from the bullet cracked open the void of s.p.a.ce.
Everything around turned dark.
The River of Time appeared in front of his vision.
At that very instant, Gu Qing Shan fell down from where he stood into the River of Time.
One breath’s worth of time.
All the unusual phenomena disappeared.
Only the white light remained, continuing to sweep through the world and erasing everything in its wake.
Su Xue Er lowered the sniper rifle and sighed in relief: “Finally, there weren’t any mistakes”
[Hurry, we also need to seize the time and return to the future, otherwise, the Apocalypse will discover us!] the harmonious female voice urged.
“Hah, I wonder if Gu Qing Shan would be able to understand our intention”
Su Xue Er muttered, a bit concerned.
[Don’t worry, since it’s him, he would definitely understand our intention] the female voice replied.
“Hm—– let’s go!” Su Xue Er said.
Numerous complicated tiny runes of light manifested around her body and took her away, vanis.h.i.+ng without a trace.
The Wraith realm.
Was currently being occupied by that white light.
Everything was coming to an end.
