Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1624: The resolve to die fighting

Hearing him say that, Demon Dragon pulled back his gaze and began to observe the wraiths and angels, waiting for the giant eyeball to descend.

Gu Qing Shan also pulled back his gaze.

“The sword isn’t on Demon Dragon’s body” he silently said to Shroud.

Shroud replied: “The sword is right above Demon Dragon’s head. Constantly radiating Apocalyptic power to protect Demon Dragon as well as to take control of him, while also ensuring that no one would be able to recognize its existence”

“It’s that powerful?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Shroud sighed and answered with a tone full of loss: “This Apocalypse weapon is exceptionally powerful. I can’t even imagine what would be able to fight it”

“Does it have any weaknesses?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Shroud was once the Lord of Infinite Origins, he had lived for countless years, researched countless powers, witnessed the birth and fall of countless civilizations, so his wealth of knowledge was definitely the greatest among everyone within the Boundless Void.

Shroud thought briefly and explained: “It must have a wielder—— it seems that Demon Dragon had been chosen as its newest wielder with his Artifact Intimacy power, but Demon Dragon hadn’t become fully synchronized with it—– but even so, I still couldn’t come up with anything that would be able to get rid of it”

“What about you? Would you be able to get rid of it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I... would not” Shroud answered with a heavy tone.

Gu Qing Shan’s despair became a step deeper.

He took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

I can’t panic right now.

I need to maintain absolute calm.

Are there any other solutions?

“...Let’s change our approach. If I purposely provoke the Apocalypses to go against the power of [Distortion], wouldn’t they be kicked out of the timeline?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

Shroud’s voice became even more depressed——

He answered with a hoarse voice: “That won’t work. The End of Time Apocalypse is an expert in playing with time, it would be able to locate all the Apocalypses once again and bring them all to the moment that the Reality Gate opens——- that moment in time that no longer carries the danger of distorting history, and they would still be able to destroy everything”

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent without saying anything else.

Time.

Time was passing by slowly.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything else during that entire time.

Even with his wits and sharp mind, he still couldn’t come up with another solution.

Truly——–

The Apocalypses were too powerful, so much so that he was helpless against them.

At this point, someone entered the hall and drew his attention.

‘Cang Wu Zhang’.

——the ‘Cang Wu Zhang’ of this point in time was actually the past Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan remained still without moving.

He was currently wearing a yaksha mask and had completely possessed a wraith cultivator, so he was in no danger of being discovered.

I’ve just left the hall, so what point in time was this currently?

Gu Qing Shan recalled the situation at the time.

That’s right, I had just obtained the fragments of the Delimitation Divine Sword and left the hall to wait for Lin.

If this had already occurred, then the giant eyeball would arrive in just a few minutes.

These were the final moments.

Gu Qing Shan looked at ‘Cang Wu Zhang’ outside of the hall.

He just stood there, silently observing himself in the past while his heart dropped lower and lower.

It is becoming more urgent by the minute.

But I still have no solutions.

—–they are enemies that not even the frozen corpse could win against, no matter how many schemes and plans I can conjure up, what would that matter?

Suddenly, the jade tag inside this Inventory Bag vanished.

Shifu had arrived!

He appeared glad and glanced around his surroundings.

There were only wraith cultivators and angels here.

It was currently a dire moment, so all of the Combatants had gathered outside the grand hall to wait for Grand Empress Reneedol’s orders.

Demon Dragon was standing a bit further away from him, observing ‘Cang Wu Zhang’ while pondering something.

Gu Qing Shan felt tense.

Which of these wraith cultivators is actually Shifu?

—–hurry up and flee after you read the jade tag.

So many Apocalypses have gathered here already, you definitely can’t stay here, Shifu.

Gu Qing Shan silently prayed.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Something appeared inside his Inventory Bag.

—–it was the same jade tag from before!

Shifu had given it back!

Gu Qing Shan quickly wrapped his inner sight around the jade tag.

He immediately heard Xie Dao Ling’s voice coming from the jade tag:

“Qing Shan, your master hadn’t thought that the situation would take such a severe turn for the worse, you need to find a chance to escape”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

I was the one who said that you should run, so why are you trying to persuade me in return?

Xie Dao Ling continued to explain: “There are still some portions of your master’s soul that still stays within the Samsara, so before the Samsara had been completely repaired, I cannot leave it behind and flee”

Unable to flee?

Shifu wouldn’t be able to leave?

Then she would really die within the Reality Gate.

Gu Qing Shan felt his spirit sense trembling even more severely.

Xie Dao Ling’s voice continued to sound from the jade tag: “Since I cannot escape, your master will remain here and risk it all one last time”

“Everything would be destroyed——– once the Reality Gate is opened, I will exert all of my strength to draw all the Apocalypses’ attention”

“Qing Shan, you should take the opportunity when I act to go through the Reality Gate and flee as far as you can”

“Although I’m unsure of the situation outside the Gate, there might still be a hope of survival, unlike those who remain within the Reality Gate”

“My disciple Qing Shan, do not refute, and do not cry like a child, your master has made up her mind”

“—-Remember, you must live for Xiu Xiu and the others’ portions as well”

“Perhaps one day...”

“You will be able to avenge all of us...”

Xie Dao Ling’s voice slowly faded.

The message stopped there.

Gu Qing Shan stood there motionlessly like an empty husk that had no soul.

That’s true.

With Shifu’s personality, once she had made up her mind about something, she would never change it.

Not to mention, she truly was unable to leave.

Shifu...

Would die here.

Gu Qing Shan lowered his gaze with nothing but bottomless sorrow.

Suddenly——-

The sound of alarms echoed across the sky.

“What’s the situation?”

“I don’t know, something big seems to have occurred”

“Prepare for combat——”

“It’s fine, it’s a scout from our side!”

A wraith suddenly appeared rapidly descending from the air, who was stopped by a group of angels in the sky.

“Directly enter the hall!”

Reneedol’s voice echoed.

The wraith staggered like he was already at the end of his ropes, requiring help to reach the top of the stairs leading into the grand hall.

The wraith was soaked in blood that was still bleeding out, muttering subconsciously:

“It’s coming! It’s coming!”

The gates of the grand hall swung open, from which an immense force lifted the wraith and pulled him in right away.

Bam!

The gates were closed again.

After a few moments, the gates swung open yet again.

Lin emerged from inside.

Her expression was frosty and solemnly ordered: “All seraphim with six or more wings, prepare your armor, we’re heading out immediately!”

The entire Wraith Temple became busy again.

All the angels gathered in the main square in front of the grand hall.

Gu Qing Shan blankly watched all of this happen.

In the end, this moment had still arrived.

The giant eyeball is about to descend in the Wraith realm.

Lin was ordered by Reneedol to fight against the giant eyeball in order to stall for time.

After appearing in the battle, she would be forcefully transported away by me and would manage to survive.

——but would that matter at all?

The Apocalyptic Divine Weapon and two Unfathomable Apocalypses had established a plan of total destruction.

Once the other nine true Apocalypses arrived, there wouldn’t be any living beings left in the Boundless Void.

Do I really want to follow Shifu’s order and take advantage of her falling in combat to flee outside the Reality Gate and avenge everyone later on?

Various noises and commotions could be heard from all around him.

Gu Qing Shan stood still.

Up till now.

There had never been a situation like the one I’m currently in.

A feeling of pain and helplessness continuously swirled in his heart.

Even during his previous life, at the final moment where all the cultivators sacrificed themselves for his final strike, he had never felt such despair before.

The only emotion he felt at that time was heroism.

Am I really supposed to just flee right now?

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered.

From outside the grand hall, ‘Cang Wu Zhang’ had turned around and entered the grand hall again.

He is about to kill three Wraith Lords with a single strike—–

Which were actually three Apocalypses right now.

This was a small success.

That’s right.

I still haven’t lost, so why am I thinking about fleeing?

It’s clear——-

There was still a bit of time before that moment, and Shifu still hasn’t fallen in combat.

It wasn’t the final moment yet, so why should I accept defeat?

Gu Qing Shan slowly clenched his fist.

Scarlet waited countless years and had only just reincarnated to become Anna.

Su Xue Er was still waiting for me in the future.

Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, Barry, Kitty, and everyone else are still waiting for me!

Am I really going to leave them all behind and flee by myself?

——there was also that entity from the Dusty World who had continued to teach me the Sacrificial Dance.

The giant corpse had also been helping me this entire time as well.

Am I really to let it be devoured by the Apocalypse and die on that bronze pillar?

And then there was Lady Fusi.

She has been taking care of me many times up until now.

Not to mention that Awaiting, the personage I’ve only met a single time, the Thousand Dragons Ancestor.

He had bestowed me the true power of the dragon race’s inheritance.

All of these people—–

Everyone who had been fighting against the Apocalypse.

Am I supposed to just discard them all?

Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and paused for a short moment.

...No.

I can’t leave.

Even if I have to die right here, even if I have to fight to the very last moment, I still can’t leave!

Gu Qing Shan’s presence silently changed.

The despair that had burrowed in his mind had all vanished, turning into the resolve to die.

At this very moment, he had given up on everything else.

The resolve to die had allowed him to regain his calm and discard many of his previous thoughts. Even the negativity brought by the Apocalypses could no longer plague his mind.

After regaining his absolute calm, he rapidly began to think.

“If I don’t have to consider survival, let me think again... how should I go about doing this...”

Gu Qing Shan silently thought to himself.

After a few moments.

A furious roar resounded from inside the grand hall.

It seems the other ‘me’ had successfully eliminated the three Wraith Lords.

Outside the grand hall.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

“...Not good enough, the Apocalypses are too powerful, this isn’t the same as when I fought against the Soul Shrieker”

The battle against the Soul Shrieker was merely a battle between [Order] and [Chaos], which was a completely different circumstance compared to now.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but recall the past.

Wait a minute—-

A flash of inspiration appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s mind, it was like the light of dawn that removed all the despair and darkness.

Gu Qing Shan grasped this thought as tightly as he could, making sure that it wouldn’t arbitrarily disappear.

Wait...

Wait!

——things aren’t completely helpless!
