Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 918: About This Reality

Gu Qing Shan continued to head forward without pause.

He charged into an image, killed the enemy inside, then moved into the next.

The darkness continued spreading.

The Law of Total Destruction was right on his tail.

Gu Qing Shan fell into the next image.

Wang Hong Dao and Tian Shan Ye both appeared at the same time.

They were no longer at Cryptic realm, but rather Radiant Soul realm peak stage, just a little bit away from reaching Void Beholder realm.

Gu Qing Shan also hesitated for a split second.

He still hadn’t received any reinforcements from his good karma.

He swung his sword.

Without getting a chance to move, both Wang Hong Da and Tian Shan Ye were swiftly killed.

———even if this master-disciple pair had reached Radiant Soul realm, they weren’t even an issue for Gu Qing Shan.

This showed the advantage of numbers in battle.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t feel like he would be able to endure a single strike from over a quadrillion dead people.

But two people at Radiant Soul realm weren’t an issue.

His mind quickly turned.

Triste’s collection world...

The 2 million demonized people weren’t killed by me .

So I won’t have to face them.

But how am I going to face the God of Frost and Chill who’s 3 realms ahead?

He was originally Paragon realm peak stage, so a direct increase of 3 realms means he would reach {Sumeru Lord} realm.

What about the Abyssal Demon Dragon who is 3 levels ahead?

The Soul Shrieker?

Or Lin in her Abyssal form?

Without Merit to counteract them, I’m no match for even a single one of them.

And having to make considerations based on pure imagination isn’t a good thing either.

Gu Qing Shan bit his lip lightly right as the image collapsed and jumped into the next image.

Rakshasa appeared.

“You ambushed me to kill me!” he angrily roared.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at him.

Rakshasa vanished.

When he reappeared , he was already chopped to dust.

The image collapsed.

Gu Qing Shan headed for the next image.

If my Merit could not be accounted for from start to finish.

—–if this is really true, what should I do?

Like all other Heaven’s Tribulations, the Measure Tribulation is a trial summoned by the Law of Heaven and Earth when they sense the breakthrough of a cultivator.

How am I going to escape from a Tribulation?

Gu Qing Shan rolled his eyes in thought.

Has anyone managed to escape from their Tribulation in the entire history of cultivation?

No.

No matter how far a cultivator traveled, even if they left their world, the Heaven’s Tribulation would still follow the cultivator until they either make it through or die trying.

Gu Qing Shan gripped the twin swords tightly.

If I really have to face the God of Frost and Chill at {Sumeru Lord} realm...

While continuing to head forward, he noticed something strange.

The monster that appeared where the giant corpse was at didn’t show up.

I clearly killed it.

But the Law of Heaven and Earth didn’t manifest that monster to stop me.

Was there a problem with the Law of Heaven and Earth, or a problem with me?

Gu Qing Shan felt nothing but confused, unable to come up with an answer.

But he now believed in the giant corpse’s words a bit more.

Continuing forward.

He went into the next image.

—– —-this time, he faced the monsters from the Age of Old, the Demon Eyes.

Gu Qing Shan drew his sword.

Damn it.

He silently thought.

Even the timeline is messed up.

From a chronological point of view, I should have begun with the monsters from the Age of Old.

God knows why the Measure Tribulation is so messed up.

The image collapsed.

He continued forward.

And finally, Gu Qing Shan arrived at the image he was dreading.

A Divinity who exuded unimaginable icy presence hovered in the air menacingly.

He roared: 「 Despicable human! You dared to ambush me to kill me and take my place! 」

At this point, his power had been increased to a never-before-seen level, almost like a true deity.

With Gu Qing Shan’s current strength, facing him was impossible.

This isn’t a Measurement Tribulation at all, this is a death trap!

Gu Qing Shan briefly glanced over him, but didn’t pay any attention to this real God of Frost and Chill.

As soon as he entered the image, when he sensed the familiar icy and cold presence, he knew that he couldn’t stay here any longer.

The giant corpse’s words have been proven by reality.

The Measure Tribulation is impossible.

Unless I want to die, I need to think of a way to escape from the Measure Tribulation.

But the Measure Tribulation is also a Tribulation, regardless of where the cultivator tries to escape to, it would still follow them.

All the way until it is over.

In this sure-death situation, Gu Qing Shan still had his preparations.

Up to this point, he had faced more than one sure-death situation.

“Bing Li!” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice.

“Gongzi, I’m ready! ”

Luo Bing Li’s voice replied from the Heaven sword.

Gu Qing Shan drew the Heaven sword without hesitation.

He controlled the Heaven sword to spin around and slashed himself.

[Chaotic Flow] activated!

[Chaotic Flow: When this sword attacks an entity, you can make that entity skip over their current moment in time to a moment of your choice]

Gu Qing Shan’s fighting spirit deflated.

He skipped his own time back to when he had only just reached Three Thousand Worlds realm.

At the time, he had only finished facing the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Quad Tribulation, his cultivation had yet to settle down, and his spirit energy fluctuations weren’t quite as powerful as his current self.

The’him’ at the time...

Didn’t have enough spirit energy to attempt breaking through to Paragon realm .

Didn’t have the cultivation experience he had today.

——-and more importantly, he didn’t have the power to trigger the Measure Tribulation.

In an instant, Gu Qing Shan had fallen down from Three Thousand Worlds realm peak stage to early stage.

「NO!」

The God of Frost and Chill roared in frustration and hurriedly tried to attack him.

But Gu Qing Shan had already been pushed out from the image.

When the image disappeared, the entire Measure Tribulation world vanished .

Without the natural connection that a cultivator formed with Heaven and Earth during their breakthrough, the Tribulation lost its target.

Since the Measure Tribulation couldn’t sense Gu Qing Shan’s breakthrough, it naturally vanished.

The world returned to normal.

This was the diamond world.

Gu Qing Shan stood still in silence.

“I need to sleep, [Chaotic Flow] costs too much energy, I can’t move for the next 10 days, so don’t call me”

Luo Bing Li’s tired voice came from the Heaven sword.

“Alright, thank you for this time” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“You’re welcome, that situation just now really was too dangerous”

After saying so, Luo Bing Li yawned as she gradually couldn’ t be heard anymore.

Gu Qing Shan put the Heaven sword back into his Thought Sea.

He held the Earth sword and stood alone in the diamond world.

At this point, Shannu Lin towards him from afar.

“Gongzi, why did your cultivation recede?” she asked in surprise.

Lin glanced at Gu Qing Shan with a pondering expression.

When Gu Qing Shan was about to answer, he suddenly sensed a unique feeling.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and told Shannu: “Defend me, I need to go somewhere briefly”

After saying so, he closed his eyes.

Right at the next moment, under Shannu’s and Lin’s gazes, his soul vessel escaped from his body and flew somewhere far away.

Looking at his departing soul, Lin asked in confusion: “Where is he going? ”

Shannu didn’t answer her and instead took out a formation plate to quickly arrange a series of defensive formations.

After finishing the arrangement, she wielded the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and stood by Gu Qing Shan’s body to guard him.

She then answered: “I don’t know everything about gongzi, I think it’s better that you ask him when he comes back”

...

Gu Qing Shan was flying through the chaotic Space Vortex.

This time, since his cultivation was much greater than before , his body was only covered in a thin layer of guiding force.

None of the mysterious entities within the space vortex managed to detect him.

After a while of flying, the void of space in front of Gu Qing Shan changed.

The giant corpse’s world appeared before him.

Countless black skeletons were roaming the ground, pacing back and forth.

At the center of them all, there was a giant bronze pillar that connected Heaven and Earth.

The giant corpse in black scale armor was being pinned closely on the bronze pillar.

It hadn’t recovered much, one of its arms was still completely bare-bones, with some small writhing flesh started to grow.

Ever since it was eaten by the previous monster, it had been growing back.

“Long time no see” Gu Qing Shan spoke up first.

“You actually managed to escape from the Measure Tribulation, I was half-expecting you to lose your life” the giant corpse’s words resounded directly in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

“Can’t you have a little more confidence in me?” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

“That isn’t the issue. Let me ask you, how many people have managed to exceed the level of Three Thousand Worlds realm during these past years?”

“Demi-gods?” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.

“Demi-gods and Divinities are fakes” the giant corpse replied.

Gu Qing Shan also understood that well, so he asked: “Then from your perspective, there is no one who is able to break through Three Thousand Worlds realm?”

“There are very few who can in fact do such a thing, but I have determined that you are not one of them” the giant corpse replied.

Gu Qing Shan asked further: “Then what kind of person can?”

“A Returnee”

“So because I am not a Returnee, you thought that I would die in the Measure Tribulation?”

“Correct”

“Why?”

“Because...” the giant corpse sighed deeply and replied: “Ever since the end of the Age of Old, the Laws of the Outer Plane had been rejecting all living beings, that is the reason why the Measure Tribulation does not take good karma and Merit into account and help you break through to Paragon realm, let alone higher realms”

Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.

He forced himself to keep calm and asked: “Then why is a Returnee able to continue breaking through?”

The giant corpse replied: “When a Returnee breaks through, what they follow are the Laws of the Inner Plane. During their reincarnation, a Returnee is able to take certain things with them, which contains the Laws of the Inner Plane, from which their Tribulations operate under. That is the only reason why they do not die”

“The Inner Plane... where is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“The entrance to the Inner Plane lies at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss” the giant corpse answered.

The giant corpse then saw a light of hope glittering in Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.

Hesitantly, it continued: “Do not think about going into the Inner Plane, that place had already been destroyed by the Apocalypse”
