Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1087: A Title Brought By A Riddle

Now that I think about it, it’s very safe on the train, what use is turning into a cat now?

With that thought in mind, Gu Qing Shan gave up on using this transformation technique.

He silently watched Su Xue Er and waited for the results from her cultivating and reciting the martial scripture for the first time .

A few moments later.

Su Xue Er opened her eyes in surprise: “When I recited the martial scripture, all the martial arts I’ve ever learnt suddenly resurfaced in my mind, and for some reason, I feel that my understanding of those techniques have become even deeper”

Gu Qing Shan smiled and told her: “This is only your first recitation, if you keep it up, it would be even more effective”

Seeing how effective it was, Su Xue Er focused her mind, closed her eyes and continued to ponder over the martial scripture.

Gu Qing Shan watched over her.

Time slowly passed.

Gu Qing Shan gradually felt more and more tired, so he leaned back on the sofa, then soon drifted into his sleep without noticing.

In his daze, the sound of wind blew in from afar.

A voice could be heard faintly in his ear.

「 I...」

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

“Who’s calling me?” he abruptly stood up and loudly asked.

Everything was a blur around him.

It was as if he was at the bottom of a deep lake, murky and chaotic.

Gu Qing Shan was being guided by some sort of power, quickly travelling through countless dimensions at extreme speed, heading towards the unknown darkness.

The voice called out again:

「 Bring... me... to... me 」

“Who are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Rays of light pierced the darkness.

A 7-colored light.

——it was the spear!

It uttered a loud cry towards Gu Qing Shan.

Oong!

Gu Qing Shan abruptly opened his eyes and woke up.

Indeed, that was the 7-colored spear, Abaddon!

I didn’t think it would have already sensed the existence of the fragment and formed a connection with me through my dream.

Unfortunately, I’m still only half-way there, it’s still a very long journey until I reach the spear.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and looked forward.

He froze.

Su Xue Er was nowhere to be seen.

To be exact, there was nobody around him at all.

He was no longer inside the train, but rather the grassy field of a forest.

Gu Qing Shan maintained his clarity and silently stood up.

Various voices spoke up.

“Look, he’s here”

“It really isn’t easy, we clearly implied it to him and still needed to use this spell”

“What do we tell him?”

“There’s not much time, get to the point”

Every voice went silent, leaving only an excited and enthusiastic voice:

“Erm—– young adventurer, we normally do not appear in front of people, even one such as you whose fate is closely related to us must solve a riddle before you can meet us”

“A riddle?” Gu Qing Shan repeated.

“That’s right, a riddle! Listen well!”

“Only washes the face but never combs the hair; doesn’t need a light at night, whiskers curled upwards”

“Go ahead and make your guess. If you can arrive at an answer within the next hour, take a look outside the window; if you cannot guess, then you will never meet us in this life”

While still confused, Gu Qing Shan was lightly pushed and felt himself falling into an abyss.

He suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

Chugga chugga, chugga chugga, ooooo——

The train was still moving forward at high speed.

Su Xue Er sat across from him, her eyes closed as she recited the martial scripture.

Gu Qing Shan stood up and looked around.

Everyone else in the train was resting.

He looked towards the window just outside the train, only to see nothing but darkness, unable to discern anything.

Gu Qing Shan pinched his hand.

A sharp sensation of pain.

“...Then, I actually dreamt twice just now. The first one was the call of Abaddon, while the second was a guessing game” Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.

He was a considerably experienced person, but what he saw just now seemed completely extraordinary.

He had only ever experienced a single dream-related event.

It was Xie Dao Ling’s dream in the Age of Old.

Gu Qing Shan briefly thought for a few moments before tapping Su Xue Er’s hand.

“What’s the matter?” Su Xue Er opened her eyes and asked.

“There’s an issue, I need you to protect me” Gu Qing Shan mused.

Su Xue Er instantly became tense.

She lightly touched the Bloodsea Card within her reach and whispered: “What happened?”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “I don’t know either—– someone told me to solve a riddle in my dream”

Su Xue Er silently looked at him, then reached her hand to touch his forehead.

His temperature was normal.

“What riddle was it?” Su Xue Er pulled her hand back and asked.

“Only washes the face but never combs the hair; doesn’t need a light at night, whiskers curled upwards”

“Isn’t the answer ‘a cat’?”

“That’s right, such a simple riddle means that they’re basically giving the answer away...”

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze returned to the War God UI and stopped at the ability that he had just obtained.

——[Demon Cat Transformation]

The only thing cat-related I have is this ability.

Could someone have influenced the Omni Stone causing it to bestow me this ability?

For some reason, Gu Qing Shan thought back to the battle against the Black Flame Venerable and the power that caused the armor to slightly shift.

What exactly... will happen?

Gu Qing Shan made up his mind and said: “Xue Er, I’m going to do it now, so make sure to protect me”

“Do what?”

“Turn into a cat”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan chanted the trigger incantation: “I am a cat”

As soon as he chanted that, his body swiftly shrunk down and turned into a cute big tabby cat.

Su Xue Er was stunned before exclaiming in shock: “Whoa, Qing Shan, how did you get such a cute ability!?”

She hugged the tabby cat onto her chest and happily giggled.

Who would’ve thought Gu Qing Shan could be so cute!

I’m definitely not letting you go!

A few moments later.

“Meow, meow meow meow!” the tabby cat hurriedly cried out.

It was now that Su Xue Er noticed that she was hugging him so tight that he couldn’t be seen anymore, so she hurriedly held him up.

The tabby cat breathed heavily for several seconds in order to regain enough oxygen in his brain.

Su Xue Er said apologetically: “I’m sorry, I just really like cats, I used to own a cat at home too”

The tabby cat shook his paws, expressing that it wasn’t important.

After moving around a bit, the cat displayed a pondering look and cried out: “Meow meow meow”

Su Xue Er panicked.

“Erm, I don’t understand Cat, can you speak in human language instead?” she hurriedly asked.

The big tabby cat plopped his paw against his head, then put it up again, pointing at the window of the train.

This time, Su Xue Er understood.

She brought the big tabby cat to the window and asked: “You wanted to look outside?”

The big tabby cat nodded.

Su Xue Er raised him up and pressed it directly against the window.

The big tabby cat struggled a bit, trying to back off.

“Ah, sorry, sorry, I put you up too close” Su Xue Er was flushed red.

She adjusted the position again.

This time, the big tabby cat had no trouble looking outside.

While the scenery outside the window was still completely black, his eyes were reflecting something entirely different.

Apparently seeing something too shocking, the big tabby cat began trembling incessantly.

Potty? Oh no!

Su Xue Er silently said to herself.

Immediately after that, she slapped herself in her mind due to shame and reminded herself:

Wait, no, no!

This isn’t my house cat, it’s Gu Qing Shan!

The big tabby cat turned back to look at her, then pointed at the control room with his paw.

Su Xue Er asked: “To the control room?”

The big tabby cat nodded.

So Su Xue Er held the big tabby cat in her embrace and walked straight to the control room.

Hazeden and Guyan were piloting the ship.

In truth, the flight path had already been set up, the two of them only remained here in order to watch out for any unexpected situations.

When Su Xue Er came in, she saw that the two of them were looking down at something.

They both had clear expressions of caution and concern.

Seeing Su Xue Er, Hazeden quickly handed something over to her and said: “Can you ask Gu Qing Shan for me what exactly is going on here?”

Guyan added: “Because he suddenly gained a ‘Head Dancer of the Secret Dance’ title last time that we were abruptly forced to perform that eerie dance, so we can’t help but treat it seriously when another title of his abruptly manifested”

Su Xue Er received and checked the item in confusion.

——ah, it was the ally covenant.

Only to see that Gu Qing Shan’s list of titles did in fact change where his name was listed:

[Dragon Slayer from the Age of Old, Nemesis of the Deity of Chaos, Devil King of Huang Quan, Wielder of Heaven and Earth, Ally to the Eternal Abyss, Demon King and Cherub of Condemnation, the man with the unrivalled kissing technique, Experienced Performing Artist, Big Tabby Cat, Gu Qing Shan; hereby sign this ally covenant]
