Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 903: Fate Corrosion

“No need to fear, my child. In truth, this was nothing but a small disturbance of a parallel world” the old lady peacefully told him.

“A small disturbance?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Indeed, when you were six years old, a parallel world was destroyed within the Apocalypse. The impact resulting from that destruction caused a faint disturbance in our reality, resulting in——- the experience of a few people being different from others”

“Because what they experienced was the events in that moment of the parallel world, and not what was happening in our reality?”

“That is exactly it” the old lady replied.

Gu Qing Shan muses for a long time before speaking up again: “In my world, there was once a famous figure who was believed to have died in a certain year, but he was actually still alive. When he truly passed on, it caused a great disturbance——– as everyone found out that their memories were incorrect”

“And also, whenever a large number of people try to recall the same event they went through together, there were always a few whose memories were completely different from everyone else’s”

The old lady praised him: “That is so, these are nothing but very minute fluctuations caused by the destruction of parallel worlds, there is no need to pay much attention to them”

“Then what should I pay attention to?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“What comes after the destruction of those parallel worlds” the old lady’s voice slowly became lower: “In truth, what we need to look out for the most are things that came from parallel worlds”

She continued to explain: “When a parallel world is destroyed, there is always a small chance for things to stray off from the ‘parallel’ Law and arrive into our reality”

“Some of them are entities who escaped from the Apocalypse”

“An entity who was able to survive to the very last moment must either be the strongest and greatest individual, or race. That is why when a parallel world is destroyed and all of their Laws collapsed, these individuals or races who are no longer bound by the Laws of their own parallel worlds could escape into our reality”

“This was still a relatively decent outcome, but there is another more terrifying outcome”

At this point, the old lady couldn’t help but deeply sigh.

Gu Qing Shan asked further: “What is that?”

The old lady didn’t answer him straight away and asked: “An Apocalypse that could completely destroy a parallel world, can you understand how terrifying it is?”

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and nodded.

If there existed a calamity that could destroy the entire 900 million World Layers, the Eternal Abyss, even the Space-Time fog and river, as well as destroying all living beings, this calamity would surely be terrifying to the point of being unable to resist.

Gu Qing Shan hesitantly asked: “But that is an Apocalypse of a parallel world, it wouldn’t show up in our reality as well—— would it?”

“Of course, an Apocalypse would not leave its original reality on its own”

The old lady’s tone suddenly became a lot more chilling: “But after a parallel world is destroyed, its corpse can potentially bring a calamity of the Apocalypse into our reality”

Gu Qing Shan muttered in fear: “If a calamity capable of destroying an entire parallel world arrives, wouldn’t that mean our reality would also be destroyed?”

The old lady shook her head: “For the corpse of a parallel world and the Apocalyptic calamity it carries, it is extremely difficult to turn from a ‘parallel’ state to an ‘arrived’ state, that would cause it to use up a majority of its power”

“Those calamities would be greatly weakened by the time they arrive in our reality, so they do not affect us too greatly—– under normal circumstances”

“Under normal circumstances...” Gu Qing Shan parroted her.

The old lady smiled and continued: “You have already run into the Man Killer Fiends and Man Eater Fiends, yes?”

“I did”

“That was originally an Apocalypse from a parallel world. In that destroyed parallel world, there was not only the Man Eater and Man Killer forms, but rather over 1000 different mutated forms, some of which were simply irresistible and directly wiped out the infinite worlds”

“Although this Apocalyptic calamity managed to make it to our reality, it has already used up its power, leaving only the two forms of Man Eater Fiend and Man Killer Fiend”

“That’s why I was able to go against them” Gu Qing Shan added.

“Correct”

“Then the Game of Eternal——”

“Was also an infinitely weakened Apocalyptic calamity. Originally, it would force all living beings to participate”

“Other than that, a corpse of a parallel world can also affect our reality in various ways, like what I told you before, many people experienced different things at the same time”

“What is the biggest threat?” Gu Qing Shan abruptly asked.

The old lady looked at him and went silent for a while.

Gu Qing Shan also went silent.

Indeed.

This was ‘under normal circumstances’.

Everything was a lot easier ‘under normal circumstances’.

But outside of normal circumstances, there were also sudden, unknown, unpredictable, and unfathomable circumstances.

The old lady suddenly smiled, looked up at him, and said: “You’ve already matured, even within the 900 million World Layers, you can be already be considered a Lord, a person who can take up and take care of your own responsibilities, so you should indeed know a bit of the truth”

She waved her hand around the void of space.

The sky, the ground, the skyscrapers, the swimming pool, the screen, and the people all vanished.

Instead, the scene around them was replaced by a gloomy dark space.

Gu Qing Shan looked at her in confusion.

She explained: “This is the final moment of the Earth Creator’s life, I hope that you will take a look”

Gu Qing Shan then turned to look towards the endless void.

A bright and colorful nebula that covered a grey surging flow of liquid was quickly moving towards a certain direction.

Gu Qing Shan was able to sense the familiar presence from it.

Indeed, this was the Earth Creator.

It had turned into a nebula to head towards a giant gate made of bronze that appeared right in front of them.

This gate was so gigantic that even the nebula seemed tiny.

This scene had already been zoomed out infinitely by the old lady that Gu Qing Shan was able to see it as a whole, otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have known what was happening even if he was directly at the scene.

The nebula stopped in front of the gate, turned into a giant with grey gas drifting around his body, and tried to push the bronze gates open.

The Earth Creator!

But as soon as it touched the bronze gate, it deeply sighed, as if discovering something.

「 So that is why... I had thought that this vision was too ridiculous to be true, but it turns out to have happened in the Age of Old, everything makes sense to me now 」

The drifting grey gas around the Earth Creator started to disappear as if they were being erased like drawings on paper.

Following that, its legs also started to shatter into fine particles of dust that scattered into the void of space and vanished without a trace.

The Earth Creator’s entire body was beginning to collapse and disappear.

At the very last moment, it threw a glittering star out with its hand and shouted: 「 Undo! 」

As soon as the star heard the shout, it streaked across the darkness of the void towards a world infinitely far away.

The Earth Creator looked towards the old lady and spoke in a heavy voice: 「 I know you can definitely see this, my destiny has come to an end, I leave the rest to you 」

It finally muttered: 「 Death is the only path that living beings can take, and I am the first to go 」

After declaring so, it completely vanished from in front of the bronze gate.

The old lady waved her hand again.

The entire scene vanished again.

Gu Qing Shan found that he and the old lady had returned to the luxurious palace without anyone around them.

“Why did it suddenly die?” Gu Qing Shan asked with a serious voice.

The old lady took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of the eyes: “It could not be helped, this was the most terrifying aspect of a parallel world——– Fate Corrosion”

“What is Fate Corrosion?”

“As you have seen by yourself, when a parallel world is destroyed, it will cause mistakes to occur in our reality. This is also a kind of Fate Corrosion”

“But you said that this situation can be ignored”

“Indeed, when the mistakes are too insignificant, we can simply ignore them. But there is a certain situation that far surpasses what we are able to deal with”

“When parallel worlds that are infinitely more powerful than we are gets destroyed and enter our reality, it would be able to completely change the fate of everyone in our reality”

“Like the Earth Creator. In this reality of ours, it was alive and well, but a parallel world that had corroded our reality existed near that bronze gate”

“This parallel world was extremely powerful, it desperately wrestled against the Apocalyptic calamity, transcended the ‘parallel’ Law, fell into our Eternal Abyss and drifted around the Reality Gate”

“When any living being in our reality approached the Reality Gate, their Fate would be assimilated and corroded by that parallel world”

Gu Qing Shan fell silent briefly before speaking up: “You mean that within that parallel world because the Earth Creator was already dead and when the Earth Creator of our reality approached, it was forced to accept that fate as well?”

“That is so, even an entity as powerful as it was could not resist against this fate”

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t accept that: “Wait a minute, I can’t comprehend this at all. How is it possible that a powerful entity like it succumbed to an indistinct and immaterial concept like fate?”

“Child, this was a determined fate of an entire parallel world, it is not something a single person can go again, not even I can do such a thing” the old lady deeply sighed.

“Which means, our Eternal Abyss is currently enduring the fate brought about by that powerful parallel world as well as its remnant Apocalypses?”

“That is indeed so, child, you are very sharp, as expected of the one that the Earth Creator thought highly of” the old lady joyfully praised him.

She took out a bright shining star, showing an expression of solemnity and caution.

“Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind are the four Saint Pillars of any world, each of them is as indispensable as the others. Take this, child, starting from today, you are the new Saint Pillar of the Earth”
