Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1638: The Secret of the [Compass]

「 It’s very troublesome to use this Hex, anyone who gets affected by it once would always be cautious of it, so there won’t be a next time 」the Dragon Ancestor breathed out some smoke and said.

“In that case, we only have three days’ worth of time?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 That’s hard to say, since no one could say for sure when the Apocalypse would come again 」the Dragon Ancestor threw the cigarette bud on the ground and snuffed it with his feet.

He seemed irritated.

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent briefly before turning to ask Shroud: “What’s the situation outside the Reality Gate?”

Shroud explained: “It’s been temporarily shut tight, but I can sense the Apocalypses gathering outside the Gate”

——–the location of this Reality Gate had been exposed.

The Apocalyptic Divine Weapon was currently summoning the nine Apocalypses that broke the Samsara in the past.

This time, there would also be the main bodies of the two High Sequence Apocalypses: Silent Light and End of Time.

Such a grand Apocalyptic force wasn’t something that they could fight off.

Even if all the Samsara death fakers participate in the battle, it would still be hopeless.

Everyone fell into silence.

Suddenly, the axe-wielding young spoke up with a tone clearly unwilling to accept this situation: “Regardless, we can’t just wait here to die, I’m going to try and activate [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Magical Girl]”

Gu Qing Shan glanced at her, then at the horrific giant axe in her hand that was several times bigger compared to her own body.

——–are you telling me that’s a magical girl?

Without giving Gu Qing Shan too much time to think, the axe-wielding girl uttered a shout and jumped into the sky.

Seeing that, the other Awaitings also nodded in agreement:

“While the Apocalypses still haven’t arrived, let’s seize our time”

“That’s right, it’ll be good to regain even a little bit of our strength”

「 We can’t just rely on Lady Darksea by herself, we must activate the templates with more potential as well! 」

“Let’s go!”

The Awaitings flew into the sky, heading in different directions.

Not too many of them remained in place.

Laura obediently stood on the side, silently watching everything unfold.

The skeleton was still smoking.

Lady Fusi said: “Gu Qing Shan, we were meaning to ask you, now that you have such a huge conflict with the Samsara death fakers, do you have any proceeding plans from this point onwards?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “The Samsara death fakers are not the Samsara itself, and the Samsara doesn’t belong to the Samsara death fakers. It’s too soon to say who dies at whose hands”

The Thousand Dragons Ancestor asked: 「 Is that why you haven’t made up your mind whether to choose the Twin Rivers of Life and Death or the Samsara as your world jurisdiction? 」

Gu Qing Shan replied: “What is there to choose? I want them both”

「 Ahahaha, how interesting, why can’t you choose both? That’s not something anyone can just say 」the Thousand Dragons Ancestor laughed.

Lady Fusi also laughed.

Layers of drifting sand appeared behind her.

“I’ll be going first. I need to seize the time to help everyone recover their strength. If you need anything, just sing” Lady Fusi told Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: “Thank you”

The Thousand Dragons Ancestor also prepared to leave.

Before he did, he patted Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder and sincerely said:

「 Youngster, there’s no need for you to use [Human Regiment], this is Lady Darksea’s own template, so it’s unsuitable with your fighting style 」

“Then what should I use?”

「 [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Dragon Race] 」

“Is it great?”

「 ——-It’s more suitable for us dragons, believe me 」

After saying that, the Thousand Dragons Ancestor leapt into the sky and vanished.

Only Shroud, Gu Qing Shan, the skeleton, and Laura remained.

Shroud told Gu Qing Shan: “This Apocalyptic form isn’t complete, its strength is still lacking——- I need to seize this time and catch that eyeball again”

“Time’s precious, you should hurry up and go, then take a look at little Wei as well” Gu Qing Shan told him.

“Got it”

——fwoom!

Shroud turned back into a giant and shot into the sky.

At this point, the skeleton turned back to face Gu Qing Shan and Laura.

Knowing that she had something to say, Gu Qing Shan respectfully clasped his fist: “Esteemed lady...”

「 An intense technique fluctuation is manifesting in your body. Alright, let’s wait until you return before we go into the specifics 」

The skeleton shook its head and raised its hand up.

Return?

What does that mean?

While Gu Qing Shan was still confused, the skeleton showed three boney fingers.

——and what does this mean?

Right as Gu Qing Shan was about to ask, the skeleton had put down one finger, followed by another one.

This is... ‘three, two, one’?

Right as this thought flashed through Gu Qing Shan’s mind, the skeleton had already put down all three fingers to form a closed fist.

At the very next instant.

Gu Qing Shan felt like he was pulled by an immense force and disappeared from this small planet.

This time, only Laura and the skeleton remained on the small planet.

Laura looked around, then looked at the skeleton and asked in a puzzled tone: “Esteemed lady, where did Gu Qing Shan do?”

「 I don’t know, but the technique affecting him has a return function, so we just need to feel assured and stay here to wait for him 」the skeleton replied.

Hearing the other party say that, Laura also had no other choice but to silently remain with her, waiting.

...

On Gu Qing Shan’s side.

He was rapidly flying through the void of space.

Carefully sensing it, he could feel that this was similar to how he always travelled to meet the giant corpse.

——but there were also slight differences.

As Gu Qing Shan looked towards the void of space in front of his eyes, he noticed an icon that rarely reacted had been activated on the War God UI.

It was the icon with a single golden sword.

The [Compass].

This was a War God function that Gu Qing Shan had activated in the Saint Spirit world.

Something that his mother had left him.

At the time, Gu Qing Shan had chosen [Compass] among the three options he was given at the time.

And now, this War God function was giving off a clear blinding light.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared:

[The predestined unique point in time approaches]

[Countless Apocalypses were now gathering in preparation to completely destroy the Space Vortex]

[In consideration that you haven’t made your way towards the Saint Spirit world at all, the Compass has been activated]

[—–You will be directly transported into the Saint Spirit world to retrieve the artifact left by your parents!]

Hoh——-

Gu Qing Shan was moving increasingly faster, flashing as he traveled across the void.

...

The Saint Spirit world.

The Roland royal secret vault, the fifth underground floor.

A flash of light appeared.

Followed by Gu Qing Shan.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared:

[This is considered an illegal entry, please immediately retrieve the artifact]

Gu Qing Shan quickly recalled.

What did mother say at the time?

...

[...In the Roland empire of Saint Spirit world, at the center of the southern wall in the fifth underground floor of the Royal secret vault, there’s a hidden compartment where we left something for you to take. If you like it, you can keep it, if you don’t like it, keep it anyway, it won’t be of any demerit to you]

...

The center of the southern wall——-

Gu Qing Shan quickly approached the wall and carefully examined it.

He reached his hand out and pushed.

Clak—-

With a small noise, all the bricks on the wall began to move.

Very quickly, the bricks restructured themselves back into a solid wall.

Except a single brick that fell on the ground.

This was a severely damaged old brick, one side of it was full of brown and green marks, while the other side had clearly been weathered by both time and damage.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the brick.

——did my parents leave me just a brick in such a secretive place?

He waved his hand to summon the brick.

—–it seemed heavy, carrying an ancient presence and a sense of vicissitudes, some sort of unseen power could also faintly be felt emanating from the brick.

Suddenly, the golden sword icon on the War God UI started blinking again while giving off lines of dark golden text:

[Attention, you’ve received a new clue]

[The following is a piece of soul-locked secret intel]

[You’ve obtained a brick from the Void Wall]

[Item: A brick from the Void Wall]

[This is an artifact of absolute secrecy, anything hidden within would be bestowed the following quality: Other than the designated individual, no one would be able to obtain it]

[Please open this brick and retrieve the item stashed inside]

Gu Qing Shan flipped the brick around several times and quickly found a small round spot.

He clicked the round spot.

Sssh—– fhew——

The entire brick crumbled to dust and was blown away by a gust of wind that manifested out of nowhere.

The only thing that remained in Gu Qing Shan’s hand was a metal mold that was about the size of his hand.

One side of the mold was completely smooth, while the other side was clearly hollowed out in a thin, slightly bumpy shape that looked almost like——–

A line of dark golden text appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve obtained an artifact of void secret: Casting Mold of the Traveler’s Key]

[This was the mold of a certain key that was made in the past, by having it, you might be able to put the broken Traveler’s Key back together again]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

A key?

What kind of key?

While he was thinking, three items flew out of his Thought Sea.

The three coins!

——they were called the Key of the Past!

The three coins gave off a tiny resonance as they surrounded the metal mold.

Observing the three coins, then the metal mold, Gu Qing Shan felt like a storm was rampaging in his mind.

The Key of the Past was also called Fragment of the Traveler’s Proof, which is also the Traveler’s Key.

In other words——

If I obtain the other fragments, I’d have a chance to reforge the complete Traveler’s Key!

But the Reality Gate had already been discovered by the Apocalypse!

Even if I now hold the ability to unlock the Reality Gate, what use would it be against the Apocalyptic army?

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent briefly.

“No, my mother and father would not do meaningless things...”

He muttered to himself and carefully observed the key mold.

He was so shocked earlier that he neglected to check the mold carefully, and sure enough, he discovered something else.

Some small scribbling could be seen written at the bottom right on the back of the mold:

[Remember, there isn’t only a single Gate]
