Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1652: The secret of power!

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Gu Qing Shan, help me!”

Laura screamed.

The golden book was desperately struggling in her hand, wanting to escape her grip and was about to fly away.

Fortunately, Gu Qing Shan reacted quickly and caught the book tightly.

The book calmed down as well.

It began to give off a gentle golden light that enveloped Gu Qing Shan’s body.

While breathing heavily, Laura begrudgingly asked: “Because you’re a Pure person again?”

“Seems so”

Gu Qing Shan put the book away.

“Aren’t I Pure as well? Why did they all avoid me?” Laura complained.

She picked up a large plate of desserts and began to wolf them down.

——-collecting treasures consumed a lot of energy, so she had to replenish her strength.

“Eat slowly, don’t choke now”

Gu Qing Shan handed her a cup of milk and watched as she finished the entire plate of desserts by herself.

Having done with her meal, Laura wiped her mouth: “Now that we’ve retrieved the holy scripture, let’s go look for that girl again and see what else she needs us to do”

“Don’t be in such a hurry” Gu Qing Shan said.

“What is it?” Laura asked.

“Take a look, this cathedral is the most magnificent among all the buildings in the monastery, so how could it only hide a robe and a book?” Gu Qing Shan slowly guided her thoughts.

Laura pondered: “Do you mean...”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Perhaps the more artifacts we retrieve, the stronger that girl would be, which is nothing but a benefit to us”

“Ah, you’re right”

Laura reached her hand back into the void of space and searched again.

...

At the end of the fog.

A corner of the monastery.

Gu Qing Shan and Laura returned to the withered trees again.

Laura put her flower umbrella away and told the tree: “We’re back”

With a puff of smoke, the girl reappeared.

She looked down at the two of them and said: 『 You were gone for very long, you must have faced a considerably desperate battle 』

“It wasn’t that desperate, my hand is just a bit tired”

Laura rubbed her hands and honestly replied.

The girl flew down from the tree and sighed: 『 Regretfully, since my powers are much too weak at the moment, I have no way of fighting alongside you 』

Gu Qing Shan took the golden book out and asked: “Please take a look, is this book the Saint Artifact you wanted?”

The girl turned her gaze to the golden book and muttered: 『 It was indeed this holy artifact. It is the last remaining hope of the monastery, as well as the only hope for you to defeat those monsters 』

Gu Qing Shan handed her the golden book.

The girl received the golden book and recited an incantation.

The golden book gently flew into the girl’s chest and vanished without a trace.

The girl sighed: 『 Originally, I would have disappeared into nothingness, but thanks to your help, I’ve obtained more power and would be able to continue existing 』

The fog around her body slowly receded and made her figure clearer, her face had also become a lot clearer as her entire body radiated holy light.

——-she was a blond-haired girl with an expression full of pity.

The blond girl slightly bowed towards the two of them: 『 I thank you both 』

“You’re welcome. I haven’t been able to defeat those monsters a single time while I fight against them. If you’ve recovered a bit of strength, I would like to ask you the mystery behind it” Gu Qing Shan solemnly said.

The girl smiled.

She stepped forward and placed her hand over Gu Qing Shan’s chest, closing her eyes: 『 I can sense the killing intent you hide in your heart——- you want to eliminate all wickedness, but feel angry towards the fact that you do not possess enough power, a rage as bright as a burning flame 』

“I’ve walked between the line of life and death twice, almost being killed by the monsters in this city, but I still couldn’t find a way to defeat them” Gu Qing Shan said.

The girl appeared to understand and replied: 『 You and your comrade had saved me, so I will definitely help you 』

She took a few steps backwards and walked around the withered trees while reciting an incantation.

Wherever she walked past, layers of white fog would manifest from the ground below, gradually forming an enclosed wall of fog that encircled this entire area.

The girl looked at the wall of fog and muttered to herself: 『 Unfortunately, my power can only achieve this much at this point in time, if only we have other Saint Artifacts 』

Gu Qing Shan and Laura exchanged glances.

“So... you need the other Saint Artifacts inside the monastery as well?” Laura asked.

The girl nodded, then shook her head: 『 It is actually enough already that you retrieved the holy scripture. After your battle earlier, those monsters have surely gotten cautious, I cannot let you take another risk 』

Gu Qing Shan replied: “...Actually, we also happened to take a few more things, so I wonder if you’ll need them”

Hearing that, the girl turned to him and gently said: 『 Let me take a look 』

Gu Qing Shan opened his Inventory Bag.

Clak clak———

With a loud noise, numerous treasures fell onto the ground into a miniature mountain that gave off intense fluctuation.

The girl was stunned.

After a long while, she finally asked: 『 Did you clean out the entire cathedral? 』

“More or less, after all, we only returned after I only managed to collect trash after several tries” Laura replied.

The girl circled several times around the small mountain of treasures, unable to hide the look of delight on her expression.

『 Now we can truly retaliate—– but before that, I need to explain to you about how to bridge the great gap in power and truly damage your foes 』the girl said.

“I’m respectfully listening” Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 Firstly, do you know the power of the world’s Laws? 』the girl asked.

Laura cut in: “I know. The foundational power of the world would manifest into various Laws, the Laws would then manifest visible elements, invisible Fate, as well as Space-Time and others—– living beings of a world would then take advantage of those Laws to survive, or rather, all living beings have always been surviving within countless Laws, but they do not realize it themselves”

The girl nodded: 『 Indeed, the Laws are the manifestation of a world’s power. Sometimes, they could even convert into higher-ranking Laws, or even rare Mysteries 』

『 As Professionists hold a grasp over the Laws, by combining them with an individual’s attributes, they would be able to utilize Soul Points, Prayers, or other basic powers to wield the power of the Laws, exerting even more unbelievable strength 』

『 ——But then there’s a problem here, if the Laws originated from a world’s foundational power, then where does the world’s foundational power originate from? 』

Gu Qing Shan and Laura were both stunned.

Usually, by being able to grasp the use of the world’s Origin or Soul Points, one would have already been able to explain the world, all living beings, and all things.

But now there was a question of where these foundational powers originate from.

——–where does the world’s foundational power originate from?

Who knows?

The girl approached Laura and carefully examined her with her eyes before shaking her head: 『 Your path is still exceedingly long, you will not reach this level for now 』

She then walked up to Gu Qing Shan and said: 『 Out of the two of you, you’ve already gotten very close to that level, this was because you managed to obtain a certain qualification 』

“Qualification?” Gu Qing Shan parroted her words.

The girl affirmed: 『 Indeed, you’ve obtained a nearly nonexistent qualification that you alone possess. For that reason, at a certain point in the future, you might be able to surpass the world’s foundational power and bridge the great gap that blocks the way of countless heroes 』

『 ——–as long as you can actually survive the competition over world jurisdiction 』

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

The girl paused briefly before asking him: 『 Did you come from outside the Dusty World? 』

“I did” Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 No wonder... I was wondering why you didn’t know so much, it turns out you actually came from the void of those broken worlds 』the girl muttered.

“Can you elaborate?” Gu Qing Shan questioned.

『 Of course, but I must first tell you a certain fact: worlds to not exist alone by themselves, they must all belong to a certain world system, which would have their own systematic order and can cause positive reactions among one another 』

“Then the Space Vortex——”

『 As I’ve said, they are broken worlds that can no longer form world systems 』

Gu Qing Shan was surprised and suddenly thought of a certain term.

He blankly muttered: “World jurisdiction...”

『 Jurisdiction? That is certainly one correct way to put it 』 the girl continued: 『 The power of both the world and its living beings originate from the systems they belong to and to bridge the great gap of power, you must wield the power of a world system 』

“The power of a world... system?” Gu Qing Shan parroted.

The girl nodded: 『 If you use the power of a living being’s soul, or their prayers, or even the Laws of a world to fight those monsters, it would be equivalent to using a drop of water to fight a river——– 』

『 The natural difference in these kinds of powers had determined them to be impossible for you to feat 』

Gu Qing Shan was still puzzled: “What exactly are the powers of a world system?”

『 It’s like this, let me give an example——- 』

The girl explained: 『 Living beings are able to use the powers of various type, which is similar to how the world has the power of Laws——- can you understand this? 』

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

The girl continued: 『 But other than their basic powers, living beings can also obtain unbelievable abilities like Thaumaturgy due to their own unique characteristics, can you understand this? 』

Gu Qing Shan nodded again.

The girl smiled and said: 『 World systems are the same way. They gather all the Laws within the worlds in their systems to create powerful and unique abilities 』

Gu Qing Shan remained silent briefly.

He thought through everything that he had gone through up until now, then suddenly began to radiate a faint yellow glow.

“Earlier, when you said that I had a unique qualification, were you referring to this?” he asked.

『 No, there is still a bit missing from this qualification. You still need to compete against others in order to get a chance to wield the power corresponding to that world system 』the girl shook her head.

The yellow glow around Gu Qing Shan’s body disappeared and he instead started to glow in a different color.

This second glow carried a sense of profound darkness, but also contained a crimson light from within the shadows.

——the Wraith realm’s power.

The girl reached her hand forward and pressed it against his chest.

『 And now, let me help you spur it to see what this is——–』

A holy white light appeared on her hand and silently entered Gu Qing Shan’s chest.

Instantly, the voices of countless ghostly women could be heard, chanting an unclear message with a desperate tone in their voices.

They almost seemed like they were trying to tell Gu Qing Shan something.

At first, Gu Qing Shan furrowed his eyebrows, then gradually relaxed them again while his expression turned solemn.

Lines of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision”

[You’ve received the aid of the saint spirit and found out the Samsara’s secret]

[The Samsara had completed its evolution]

[The winning Chosen Saints of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy will be granted the power of the Samsara after its evolution]
