Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1273: Save her!

[Earth’s Prohibition: An enemy you strike will have all of their supernatural abilities sealed away, 1 minute duration]

As soon as the orange cat used this technique, he also transformed back into Gu Qing Shan.

He then struck the monster using his metal gauntlets with all his strength.

Elemental Frost fist technique, [Frost Freeze]!

The frost spread from the gauntlet onto the monster’s body with extreme speed, quickly forming a glittering block of ice.

The Judge of Living Beings’ Fate was frozen within the ice crystal, just like an insect in amber.

It tried to struggle.

Bam!

Gu Qing Shan threw another punch towards the ice crystal.

[Ethereal – Grand Mountain]!

The Judge of Living Beings’ Fate instantly became motionless.

In the next 10 breaths worth of time, it had no thoughts.

Asura Gu Qing Shan stood with his arms crossed on one side and asked: “This guy’s supernatural abilities, movements, and even thoughts have all been restrained, so why do I still feel like you’re still a bit nervous?”

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and replied: “Without being able to use my swords, I just feel a bit anxious”

Asura Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then held his sword, asking: “You want me to do it?”

“No need”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan’s body became clad in a faint yellow glow.

Samsara derivative power!

He lightly threw a single punch towards the ice crystal.

[Ethereal – No Pardon]——–

A fist technique to destroy everything!

Tangible or intangible, illusory or real, all things, all living beings, everything shall shatter in front of this punch and return to Primal Chaos.

The entire blue ice crystal shattered into glittering bits of ice, slowly scattering into the darkness like fireflies at night.

Within the ice crystal, the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate stared intensely forward.

Its gaze was full of confusion but it seemed to have realized that death was approaching.

However, that didn’t matter, as the power of the Earth God had stripped away all of its chance to retaliate.

It scattered with the ice, returned to Primal Chaos, no longer to be seen ever again.

“What excellent fist technique. I never thought I’d be able to wield power other than swordsmanship” Asura Gu Qing Shan said.

“Is your soul not released?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Soul release? What’s that?” Asura Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Wait a moment—–”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan turned to the void of space to read the lines of quickly manifesting glowing text.

[You’ve eliminated the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate]

[Note: This is originally an impossible task, but the other party was only 5/1000 as strong as itself during its peak; furthermore, all of its supernatural abilities were sealed by your Earth God power, unable to utilize any defensive technique, thus you were able to accomplish this slaying]

[As stated above, it did not exert any means to protect itself before death, so the Soul Points you had to spend for Ethereal was kept to a minimum]

[You expended 100 million Soul Points]

Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion: “I still don’t understand. I clearly used the Samsara’s power, so why did I have to spend Soul Points?”

The War God UI replied: [That power was converted from your Soul Points——- you didn’t really think the Samsara derivative power would just manifest out of thin air, did you?]

Gu Qing Shan changed his point of attention and asked: “If I wanted to unleash the two latter strikes of [Ethereal], would I be able to do it through Soul Points as well?”

[It is possible, but the Soul Points consumption will be quite considerable. You must prepare yourself mentally] the War God UI replied.

New lines of glowing text appeared:

[You’ve eliminated the Judge of Living Beings’ Soul, obtaining 300 million Soul Points]

[The path of Void War God had moved onto the next phase:]

[You must reach the second void monster: Matriarch of Myriad Earths]

[Attention, this is a sovereign among void monsters, the nemesis of the Earth Pillar God of the void. If it did not enter this great tomb, it would have continued to remain locked in an eternal war against the Earth God in the space vortex]

[Eliminate it]

The lines of glowing text then disappeared from Gu Qing Shan’s vision.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Both the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate and the Matriarch of Myriad Earths are ridiculously overpowered monsters.

The only mistake they made was to enter this tomb.

Otherwise, with my strength, it would have been impossible to kill them.

Then.

What kind of power would a ‘War God’ Title that requires me to kill five of such monsters provide?

[Void War God]

What a curious thing indeed.

He slowly regained his senses and turned to Asura Gu Qing Shan.

The other party was still waiting for him and smiled amicably: “Reading the [Order] combat synopsis?”

“Yeah” Gu Qing Shan replied.

After a bit of thought, he then explained to the other party what soul release meant.

Asura Gu Qing Shan fell into thought and muttered: “Call of the Bramble Bird? I have heard of that event. The young girl called Laura is still the current Bramble Bird Empress, but only a puppet empress”

Gu Qing Shan furrowed his eyebrows and asked: “Who is she the puppet of?”

“Triste—— I heard that it was her who’s now behind the Empress, currently acting as the Bramble Bird Kingdom’s prime minister” Asura Gu Qing Shan replied.

Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked: “Why didn’t you participate in the Call of the Bramble Bird?”

“Because Zhi Luo died” Asura Gu Qing Shan replied.

“What!?” Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in shock.

A hint of sorrow flashed through Asura Gu Qing Shan’s eyes before he explained: “She was an Asura girl. After the battle of Huang Quan, she took over the body of a dead human woman and returned to life”

“She then followed me into a war of infinite worlds”

“During one of our battles, to protect me, she became heavily injured”

Gu Qing Shan instantly asked: “What about her soul?”

“Her soul also became heavily injured, the only method to save her was to send her into the Forgetting River——- the water of the Forgetting River has the property of being able to heal all wounds of the soul, the price being that they would forget everything” Asura Gu Qing Shan replied.

Forgetting everything.

That means, she would no longer remember ‘Gu Qing Shan’.

Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts turned a bit, then asked: “Then, she once again entered reincarnation?”

“That’s right, I asked for the Forgetting River Soul Flaying Hook’s help, so she should have once again reincarnated into the Asura realm”

“Even so, she would not remember you” Gu Qing Shan said.

Asura Gu Qing Shan continued: “That’s why, I took [Chaos] upon myself and entered the Asura realm, climbing step by step to become the Asura King of several Asura realm fragments”

“Why did you have to do such a thing?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“To become an Asura Deific King——- legends had it that the Asura Deific King has a unique Thaumaturgy to awaken the past life memories of every Asura, allowing them to regain the wisdom of all their lives up to now”

“No wonder you entered the path of Asura, so it was because of this” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

At this point, he really couldn’t help but feel emotional about the grandness and unpredictability of fate.

At certain crossroads of history, each individual makes their own choices that would forever alter their paths in drastically different ways.

Gu Qing Shan then clenched his fists.

“I have a favor to ask of you” he said.

“What is it?” Asura Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Save Laura” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Asura Gu Qing Shan observed him for a long time, then finally said: “The Bramble Bird Kingdom is currently the base of the [Demon King Order]. Even if I am an Asura King, it would still be quite troublesome to fight against the entire [Demon King Order] itself”

Gu Qing Shan insisted: “You must save her, because she is related to many crucial events, like the Great Bramble Tree, the three coins of Space and Time, not to mention her relations to the Dusty World. Furthermore, the [Demon King Order] actually belongs to the side of [Chaos]”

“Hm? Why haven’t I heard of anything you just mentioned?” Asura Gu Qing Shan asked.

Gu Qing Shan then explained everything to him.

“Do you care a lot about that little girl?” Asura Gu Qing Shan asked.

“That’s right. Her fate is one of extreme tragedy, I don’t want her to have to live such a life, not even in a parallel world” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Asura Gu Qing Shan seemed hesitant: “It will be a great war... I will most likely have to utilize all of my forces...”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “This matter isn’t simply related to the fact that she is the Empress, the Master of Wealth, or the envoy of the Great Bramble Tree. Even if she doesn’t have any of those identities and is only a normal girl, we must still save her”

“But why?” Asura Gu Qing Shan asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “If one day, all the Apocalypses are over, when you and I can finally live a normal life and have a daughter of our own, she would most likely be the same as her”

“For the sake of your daughter’s smile, you would surely exert all of your efforts, even if it is to slaughter or to fight, wouldn’t you?”

Asura Gu Qing Shan fell silent.

A few moments later.

He took out something and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.

It was the Nine Serenity Yin Incantation Jade Tablet.

“Temporarily keep this for me, the range of this item is the entire great tomb itself, when I return, give it back to me” Asura Gu Qing Shan said.

Gu Qing Shan took the jade tablet and said in a sincere tone: “Thank you”

“No need, I’m not saving her because of you, but merely because I found out about this” Asura Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Alright. Go, leave this place to me”

The two Gu Qing Shan looked at each other and grinned.

Asura Gu Qing Shan turned around, heading into the dark void.

“War. That is where my sword points, an inevitable conquest for the sake of protection...”

He lightly muttered as his figure faded away, disappearing from this world.

He had left.

——left to save Laura from the parallel world.

Gu Qing Shan put the jade tablet into his bag.

He was now standing alone in the middle of a vast graveyard.

Countless monsters crawled out from their tombs, gradually surrounding him.

Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tightly and looked at the surrounding monsters.

“Ah, quite a few of them here... I remember there was a fist technique where I descended from above...”

His figure slightly shifted and shot up into the sky.

...

At another location.

Above the River of Time.

Within a gently drifting Temporal Oasis.

——-the world of the Spire.

Laura sat in her room, silently holding onto a long purple twine.

The Twine of Cloud Atlas.

She possessed another Twine of Cloud Atlas!

Perhaps...

This one was the other half of the first Twine of Cloud Atlas.

A voice resounded through the restraints of Space and Time, emerging from the Twine of Cloud Atlas:

“You must save her...”

“This matter isn’t simply related to the fact that she is the Empress, the Master of Wealth, or the envoy of the Great Bramble Tree. Even if she doesn’t have any of those identities and is only a normal girl, we must still save her”

“If one day, all the Apocalypses are over, when you and I can finally live a normal life and have a daughter of our own, she would most likely be the same as her”

“For the sake of your daughter’s smile, you would surely exert all of your efforts, even if it is to slaughter or to fight, wouldn’t you?”

Gu Qing Shan’s sincere voice sounded from the Twine of Cloud Atlas.

Laura silently listened, eventually lowering her head and wiping the tears off her face.

“Gu Qing Shan...”

“Qing Shan...”

She was sobbing full of emotions.
