Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1744 Past and present

Still being seated within the gloomy flower, the skeleton had continued to observe Gu Qing Shan this entire time.

—–up until the moment Gu Qing Shan thoroughly transformed into the Ruler of Horror.

The skeleton spoke: [ As the only successor of the Dharma, you originally would have had to face numerous trials and spend an untold amount of time in order to obtain the secrets and inheritance placed within this shelter

“Then what about now?” Gu Qing Shan asked with a grumbling voice coming straight from his throat.

His entire body was hidden in the darkness, constantly radiating an ominous presence.

The skeleton sighed: ( Within the Samsara, there naturally exists endless karma both good and bad from ages past, silently but very tangibly leading events along. Who could have thought that the successor I meet today would be her disciple who is trying to save her? So there is already no longer any need for excessive formalities

The skeleton reached out its boney hands to touch Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

In an instant, the pain on Gu Qing Shan’s body began to subside until it was no longer as intense as before.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes started shining with a bloody red light as he suddenly looked around himself.

At some unknown point, there were already countless girls standing around them, all of whom were performing hand seals around the skeleton, guiding a thin thread to coil around their wrists.

This is——

A line of bloody red text quickly appeared within the void of space:

(The heroic spirits of the past Heavenly realm are currently sharing your pain]

He turned to the skeleton again.

The gloomy flower it was sitting on suddenly gained some color, giving it a hint of vitality.

[Very well, I shall skip over the numerous trials and lead you to observe the secret of the Samsara! įthe skeleton raised its voice and declared.

Gu Qing Shan spoke again with a hurried voice: “Wait! My Shifu is still fighting outside, if we don’t make it in——“

The skeleton cut his words off and replied: [We’ve already considered this situation a very long time ago. Do not worry, time around us will become frozen up until the entire inheritance process is complete ]

As it spoke, the skeleton formed a hand seal.

[ Secret Record of Nine Heavens, open!]

The technique was complete.

The entire world began to change.

The fluttering gloomy flowers were gradually dyed in a deep pinkish purple hue, the sky turned a brilliant blue, and the ground around them was filled with luscious greenery and flowers.

The world itself was drenched with vitality, peaceful and serene.

An ancient palace abruptly emerged from the ground, which rapidly grew increasingly higher until its peak couldn’t be seen anymore.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise; the four Saint Divine Beasts were standing guard around the main square in front of the palace.

Numerous female heavenly beings were singing, dancing and playing around as they flew in the sky.

From the void of space, numerous Phase Realms continuously manifested one after another. Sometimes, living beings would land in front of the palace and respectfully bow towards the main hall with complete sincerity.

“This is... What is this?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[ The Samsara of the past, the one who ruled it at the time was the one you want to protect the skeleton explained.

The scenery changed.

A woman was sitting on top of a high throne of jade and numerous flowers, silently listening to the reports of the heavenly beings below.

——Xie Dao Ling!

The pain from Gu Qing Shan’s body had practically all faded away, so he subconsciously asked: “Was my Shifu in her previous life also called Xie Dao Ling?”

[ The Samsara had been and continued to protect her—— certain things could only manifest if she recognizes them, just like how she recognized herself as Xie Dao Ling not too long ago the skeleton answered.

“Then who is the current Heavenly Emperor?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The skeleton waved its hand.

The entire world suddenly changed.

Numerous calamities were descending on the ground, ferocious monsters manifested one after another, mercilessly ravaging the Samsara as well as its numerous Phase Realms.

Xie Dao Ling was leading the heavenly beings in the battle against the monsters and Apocalypses.

Numerous desperate battles.

Numerous beings laid down their lives.

The world itself was heading towards destruction.

The Human realm, Huang Quan realm, Asura realm, Beast King realm, and Wraith realm all participated in this battle against the Apocalypse. But the Apocalypses only became more numerous as time went by, not to mention more ferocious.

In the flashing scenes around them, living beings were clearly falling into decay and desperation.

[ The Samsara was eventually broken and destroyed, so at its very last moments, the Heavenly Emperor had decided to bring the entire Samsara with her into a legendary Reality Gate ]

[ It was said that this Reality Gate hid the most important secret within the Boundless Void

Following the skeleton’s explanation, Xie Dao Ling could be seen stepping forward and taking flight while carrying everyone with her, heading into the Boundless Void.

The entire Samsara turned into a string of light as she flew, which then coiled around her body.

After a long and uneventful flight, she took out a black sword and unleashed a strike with all her power toward a certain part of the void.

The void was split apart with a thunderous noise, from which a pair of gates manifested and opened in one swift motion.

The Reality Gate!

Xie Dao Ling brought all of her subordinates as she passed through the Gates.

After which came the scene that Gu Qing Shan had witnessed during the Age of Immemorial——–

A gigantic black sword eclipsing the sky itself emerged through the clouds and swung through a sky of stars.

Billions of stars were extinguished at once.

The black sword was also shattered.

Xie Dao Ling began to descend from the void of space. She had chosen to enter one of the many fragments of Huang Quan.

[ Your Shifu suffered grave injuries after carrying the Samsara away from the encirclement of the Apocalypse, so she was prepared to reincarnate within Huang Quan, but someone stood in her way įthe skeleton spoke.

A great army suddenly appeared from the void of space to surround Xie Dao Ling.

The battle immediately resumed.

[ This was the great army of the Wraith realm, the Wraith realm’s ruler had maintained his strength this entire time without fully participating in the Samsara’s war against the Apocalypse, all for this very moment—-]

“My Shifu was already at the end of her rope, so he wanted to take this chance to kill her?” Gu Qing Shan coldly asked.

[ Indeed, he wanted to force your Shifu to hand over the Samsara. Without any other choice, your Shifu had split a fragment of her soul away to stall him while her main soul entered the cycle of reincarnation within Huang Quan , the skeleton confirmed.

Gu Qing Shan nodded. Shifu entered reincarnation and became the daughter of the Barren Clouds Palace Master, Xie Gu Hong, during the Age of Old. She was born surrounded by thousands of flowers and accompanied by a golden lotus, rousing the envy of the Divinities, which forced Xie Gu Hong to send her into hiding in the lower realms.

After that, when she finally awoke, she had to survive the harsh cultivation world, drifting from place to place with her lonesome self while cultivating, eventually becoming one of the three Saints of humanity, establishing Bai Hua sect, and taking in disciples.

The rest was history. The skeleton continued: [ The ruler of the Wraith realm then proclaimed himself as the new Heavenly Emperor, and the beings of the past Wraith realm took over the Heaven realm in the process ]

[ The Heaven realm was already greatly weakened from the war against the Apocalypse, so the remaining heavenly beings had no choice but to pledge their allegiance to the ruler of the Wraith realm

[ Only the fairies of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortals lineage swore absolute loyalty to your Shifu, refusing to listen to the Wraith realm ruler’s orders ]

[ So the Wraith realm ruler called upon the beings of the Wraith realm as well as the remaining members of the other realms to eradicate the fairies of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortals lineage

[ In the end, the Nine Heavens Profound Immortals lineage was helpless to fight so many enemies on their own and were almost completely wiped out. The few remaining fairies had no choice but to exile themselves to the Wraith realm, practicing wicked techniques to conceal their whereabouts and regain their strength—-] [ The irony of it all, the wraiths of the past had become heavenly beings, while previous heavenly beings had no choice but to convert themselves into wraiths, expending all of their powers to preserve this secret of history

[From that moment onwards, they were no longer recognized by the new Heaven realm,

[They constantly seek revenge, swearing to antagonize all living beings of the Samsara, devouring the souls and drinking the blood of those traitors alive, becoming the horrid scourges of all Samsara beings

T ——they are called the Tianma race

Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered in a harrowing low voice: “So that’s how things were”

All the scenes around him gradually faded away.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled what had happened outside.

As soon as the Heavenly Emperor arrived, Shifu sent him into the Wraith realm’s shelter without hesitation.

“—–But why does the Heavenly Emperor wish to kill me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[ Ahahahahaha! [the skeleton laughed maniacally.

[ The ruler of the Wraith realm proclaimed himself as the Heavenly Emperor, but he never actually received the ruling power of the Heaven realm from your Shifu. All the oppression and massacre he had done to the Tianma race was due to them being the legitimate inheritor of the Heaven realm’s Dharma—- the practice that the Tianma had always refused to hand over, always waiting for your Shifu to return

[ But now, that is no longer the case—– The skeleton gave Gu Qing Shan a look full of implications. “How are things different now?” Gu Qing Shan asked, still a bit unclear.

| The Heavenly Emperor is an expert tactician and a figure of supreme power, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to suppress all the other Samsara realms to become the self-proclaimed Heavenly Emperor, however——] [ Even though the Heavenly Emperor is so supremely powerful that he had surpassed all living beings of the Samsara, you are the one who can mobilize the power of the Heaven Tribulation. Do you think that the Heavenly Emperor can do the same?

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

The skeleton continued: [ There are a total of nine stages to the legitimate Heaven’s Dharma, and you’ve reached the second stage, allowing you to wield the Heaven Tribulation

011

[ Gu Qing Shan, you are the disciple of Xie Dao Ling, the one recognized by the Tianma, the one who leads them within the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, and the only successor to the Heaven realm’s Dharma ]

[ You are the true disciple of the previous Heavenly Emperor]

[ And that is why that fellow could not wait to kill you as soon as he lays his hand on you! ]
