Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1042 - Operation Begins!

Chapter 1042: Operation Begins!

A sluggish female voice came out:

“I’m finally awak—-”

“Wait!”

Gu Qing Shan immediately shouted.

“Hm? What is it? Is there an enemy?” Luo Bing Li asked.

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “Luo Bing Li, I have an earnest question I need to ask you, you need to give me a straight answer”

“Go ahead”

“Tell me, what is your biggest dream?”

Luo Bing Li answered without hesitation: “My dream? Of course, it would be that I don’t need to sleep”

Gu Qing Shan paused.

He readjusted his expression to make his smile even more sincere.

Then started speaking in a very sincere and warm tone: “...Please think about it more carefully, with infinite worlds, there are so many places that are more interesting than the Primordial Heaven Realm. Surely, there are other things that you wish to do?”

Luo Bing Li ruminated about it before she replied: “That’s true, with billions of worlds, there are surely countless interesting things to do. I want to go strolling around, to go window-shopping as much as I can”

Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands and asked in an enthusiastic manner: “Why do you want to go strolling?”

Luo Bing Li was swept by his enthusiasm and replied: “Of course, it’s to go shopping——- for those beautiful clothes, interesting toys, as well as those yummy food”

Gu Qing Shan’s expression turned a bit gloomy and put up one finger: “However, right at this moment, we’ve run into a very serious issue”

“What kind of issue? Do we need to fight?”

“No, quite simply, I don’t have enough money”

“Ah... I still have a lot of spirit stones with me...”

“Spirit stones aren’t usable, among the infinite worlds, they require a more common type of currency”

Luo Bing Li hesitated, then muttered: “Then...”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “To resolve this issue, I specifically took on a certain mission”

Luo Bing Li asked in surprise: “What kind of mission?”

“Look ahead, there’s a wandering soul right in front of us. She’s the queen regent of this world, holding peerlessly huge wealth in her possession. She is able to grant us an immeasurable amount of common currency that will ensure you will never run out of money whenever you go on your shopping trips from now on”

“That’s so good? Gu Qing Shan, I can’t believe you’ve managed to find such great backing!”

Gu Qing Shan followed up immediately: “I’m actually not interested at all in money, but considering that you need to use a lot of money, I didn’t spare the efforts or long journey and specifically found this queen regent”

Luo Bing Li was a bit moved and commented: “You really shouldn’t have”

“I’ve always taken good care of my companions, don’t mention it” Gu Qing Shan replied while keeping up his thick skin.

Luo Bing Li then felt a bit doubtful and asked: “But then, why would she give us money? And also, I recall that wandering souls usually find it really tough to communicate with living people, how could she rule over a country?”

Gu Qing Shan smacked his thighs and enthusiastically told her: “Exactly, that’s why this is our chance to get rich, Luo Bing Li”

“You mean that...”

“Yes, we need to revive her”

Hearing that, Luo Bing Li didn’t say a single word and simply stared at him.

The enthusiastic expression on his face froze still as he continued staring at Luo Bing Li.

A long moment of silence.

Luo Bing Li asked: “You haven’t prepared the next person to be revived as well, have you?”

“Absolutely not, this is only a coincidence” Gu Qing Shan guaranteed, “I swear that the next time you wake up, I won’t force you to sleep again, I’ll definitely let you go shopping as you wish for ten days straight”

Luo Bing Li causally questioned: “For ten days straight huh? And then what?”

Gu Qing Shan recognized a certain sense of danger in her words, so he swiftly changed his tone and spoke in a soothing manner: “We’ll naturally change to another world for another ten days of shopping”

“And then what?”

“Another world, another ten more days!”

“And then, and then what?”

“We’ll change to another world for ten more days! I vow that I won’t ask you to sleep again for the next while!”

Hearing the word ‘vow’ come out of his mouth, Luo Bing Li’s stern expression relaxed a bit.

Unlike other Professions, cultivators were automatically bound to their vows, with the lightest punishment of violating them being chased and beaten by the Laws of Heaven and Earth, so normally, they won’t put out any vows casually.

The fact that Gu Qing Shan had actually used the word ‘vow’ meant that he was telling the truth.

“Hmph, sleep, sleep, sleep, all you want me to do is sleep. Don’t forget your vow this time”

Gu Qing Shan pounded his chest in assurance: “Of course, after this one, I guarantee the next time you wake up, you’ll get to enjoy yourselves to your heart’s degree, both money and time won’t be an issue, you won’t need to sleep again!”

Luo Bing Li was no longer angry, but sighed: “...Hah, fine, I’ll sleep for another 10 days”

...

The Heaven sword swung.

Xuan Ya opened her eyes and sat up from the ground.

“I... really did revive...”

She carefully sensed her current state to confirm this to be true.

“To be able to revive the dead, could it be, you were a Deity?”

Xuan Ya doubtfully glanced at Gu Qing Shan.

“You think too much, it’s actually the power of this sword of mine” Gu Qing Shan replied and put the Heaven sword away.

The group began discussing the next step of their plan.

Gu Qing Shan said: “The first thing we need to do now is to gather the other two rings from the guardians”

“Do we need to fight?” Boss asked.

Xuan Ya replied: “No need——- I’ve always maintained very good relations with the other two guardians, and our stance is unified. We only need to look for them now, as long as they stand on our side, our chances of winning should be a lot greater”

Zhang Ying Hao asked: “What if they don’t stand on your side?”

Xuan Ya froze, then resolutely replied: “Then I won’t stop you. But you must keep in mind, their Divine Skills are considerably powerful, you must finish the battle as soon as possible”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Ying Hao glanced at the sky above and commented: “It would be mid-noon soon; we need we hurry up”

An hour later.

In a certain secluded smithery, Xuan Ya and Ye Fei Li found the guardian they were looking for.

The blacksmith stared at Xuan Ya and narrowed his eyes: “That’s impossible, you’re already dead”

This was the hidden guardian.

“Denu, it really is me”

Xuan Ya stepped forward and recited the codewords they had always used.

A few moments later, the blacksmith was still in disbelief as he muttered: “My god, I’ve never seen a person that could revive someone after death”

Xuan Ya replied: “I feel the same, but I’m not here today to discuss this matter. As you know, my son is about to be coronated”

The blacksmith said: “That’s right, the coronation ceremony is about to take place, I was just preparing to enter the palace to protect him”

“Wait a bit, I have something I need to tell you now”

Xuan Ya quickly explained the situation to him, then invited him to join their cause.

The blacksmith contemplated it briefly before happily agreeing.

“That’s fine, you’re a guardian, and now the king’s mother, so you naturally qualify as the queen regent——- it’s a good thing that there is someone who can help the new king, I was actually contemplating over this matter earlier”

“Then let’s be on our way, we need to find Greyhound”

Greyhound was the other guardian.

“Very well, let’s go” the blacksmith called Denu agreed.

As the three of them were about to set out, Ye Fei Li who had remained silent all this time suddenly asked: “Your Excellency, would you pledge your allegiance to the queen regent from now on?”

“Naturally, Xuan Ya is our comrade, we hold the same beliefs, so she’s worth our protection” the guardian sincerely replied.

“Denu...” Xuan Ya was moved.

Ye Fei Li also halted his steps and raised a thumbs up to the blacksmith.

“I truly respect people like you” Ye Fei Li praised him

The guardian smiled and was about to say something else, but felt a hand on his shoulder.

——–Lightning Thaumaturgy, [Dreamjolt]!

The guardian instantly froze.

A sword then appeared from the void of space and lightly tapped the guardian’s head.

He then fell unconscious.

From the void of space, Laura appeared as he put her umbrella away.

Gu Qing Shan, Zhang Ying Hao, and Boss showed up as well.

“Why did you suddenly give the signal?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

“Because he lied when he answered my question” Ye Fei Li replied.

He continued to explain: “Whenever a person lies, their soul would experience a very faint sense of anxiety, whenever I hear these faint fluctuations, I would know that they were lying”

Everyone nodded.

——-when they were showing each other their abilities earlier, Ye Fei Li had already displayed this power of his.

Laura curiously asked: “Would the soul of everyone appear anxious when they lie?”

“No, malicious souls would laugh happily” Ye Fei Li replied.

Gu Qing Shan spoke emotionally: “Ever since I entered the 900 million World Layers, it’s always been groups of other people surrounding me with bad intentions, all of them have specialists specifically checking if I’m telling the truth or not”

“This time, it’s finally my turn to have a specialist that helps me determine the truth and lie of others”

He crouched down and put his hand over the blacksmith’s forehead.
