Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1438: Reunion in the Age of Immemorial

From the shadows, a girl was heading forward from afar.

She looked like a spirit that had appeared from the darkness, exuding unparalleled beauty and grace.

Looking down on the empty wilderness, she displayed a confused expression.

“Dead? Or alive?”

She muttered.

Ooooooo——-

The sorrowful strong wind continued to blow and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, but it couldn’t help her discern what had happened here previously at all.

Reneedol narrowed her eyes, muttering: “I recall... that Red Wraith seemed to have a method of searching and scouting”

A vast inner sight began to expand from her forehead, scanning through a radius of 10 miles.

But still, she found nothing.

“Strange, did they disappear into thin air?” Reneedol muttered confusedly.

She had directly gained all of Gu Qing Shan’s abilities, becoming a Star River Saint realm cultivator that wasn’t any weaker compared to Gu Qing Shan.

——but she was currently still too green, and the things Gu Qing Shan had learnt were too diverse: scientific expertise, cooking, martial arts, swordsmanship, six arts of cultivation, acting, dancing, rapping, etc. She had only just begun to get used to his swordsmanship and still hadn’t even touched upon his other techniques yet.

She also wouldn’t know that the ‘Red Wraith’ she fought against previously was Rhode.

Which was why she would not be able to locate Shroud and the others.

Standing with the night wind for over half an hour, Reneedol still couldn’t understand how a group of people were able to vanish so thoroughly that not even their corpses could be found.

At the same time.

In the wilderness.

A few miles away from Reneedol.

Being obscured by 36 different concealment formations, Gu Qing Shan was busy putting corpses into his Inventory Bag.

The three young people were still unconscious, completely clueless.

Shroud was finally coming to his senses.

“Ah...”

He uttered an interrupted moan.

“How are you doing?” Gu Qing Shan asked in a whisper.

Shroud opened his eyes and swiftly understood his current state.

He wryly smiled: “I’m like a crippled person right now, having lost all of my powers—– I didn’t think I’d be able to return alive”

“What’s going on in the World of Laws?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I’m not sure either. When I entered the World of Laws, I immediately saw powers of mass destruction filling the entire world, most Behemoths were attacking one another like they had gone insane, and then—-”

Shroud suddenly asked out of concern: “Where’s Reneedol? And what about the others?”

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered.

The three others are lying just a bit away, but Shroud couldn’t sense them.

Seems like he had really lost his powers.

However, the Laws of Reality have recovered, he’ll slowly regain his powers as he recovers.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “They’re all fine, they’ve just left to find some food. Among all of us, you’re the one in most danger”

Shroud calmed his expression.

Gu Qing Shan asked: “What exactly happened?”

Shroud replied: “Do you still remember what I told you? I’ve always been able to hear voices that were explaining a certain event”

“Apocalypse” Gu Qing Shan affirmed.

Shroud continued: “But when I tried to listen to these voices earlier—— I found that they had become extremely clear, almost like they were right in front of me, but there was one voice among them that was abnormal”

“An abnormal voice?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Yes, I suspect that this voice wasn’t part of the cries of despair, because not only did it notice me, it had also told me to no longer listen to these voices, and not to poke into other people’s businesses” Shroud answered.

Gu Qing Shan looked at him with considerable confusion.

Another voice?

This seems to have gotten completely out of my understanding.

Gu Qing Shan sighed, then asked: “Then, how were you injured so badly?”

Shroud’s expression was complicated as he answered him: “That voice told me to stop listening to the voices, but I thought that it was being unreasonable so I tried asking it about what was going on”

“What did it say?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“It said that those things were all about to die, all of them were pushing against the Gate in an attempt to enter” Shroud replied.

“And then?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

Shroud continued: “After that, I asked the voice what happened to the Law Behemoths, but before it could answer, something terrifying happened that overwhelmed my sense of danger, before I could react, I already became heavily injured and ejected from the World of Laws”

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but fall silent as he heard the explanation.

Everything was so completely obscured that he couldn’t even try to reach for an answer.

What exactly happened in the World of Laws? And what was that voice?

I can’t really tell by just hearing Shroud’s explanation.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly said: “Shroud, how did you enter the World of Laws, and can I do it as well?”

Shroud explained: “You will need to form a covenant with the Laws of Reality and receive permission from one of the Law Behemoths in order to enter the World of Laws, otherwise, you can only summon them here in our world”

“How do I form a covenant with a Law Behemoth?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Connect to the World of Laws, chant your name in your mind, then state your wish and see if any of the Law Behemoths are willing to answer you” Shroud replied.

“Sounds simple enough” Gu Qing Shan commented.

“No, it is actually exceptionally difficult. A Law Behemoth would normally never allow humans to enter the World of Laws” Shroud doused his thoughts.

Gu Qing Shan rolled up his sleeves, raised his hand, before clenching it.

Suddenly, an unnamed force manifested upon his body and began to spread deep into the void of space.

——[Blessings of the Past Worlds]!

The world slowly faded away like an illusion.

Gu Qing Shan saw a thin layer of fog enveloping himself.

“I am Rhode”

“I want to enter the World of Laws and see the truth behind the upheaval of the Laws”

Gu Qing Shan silently muttered.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

No answer.

Gu Qing Shan asked in wonder: “Shroud, back then, how long did it take you for a Law Behemoth to agree to form a covenant?”

Shroud was silently watching him from one side and replied: “This is a very hard thing to achieve. The Behemoths very rarely allow humans to enter their territory, even I had to spend several months in order to achieve this—— I think it’s best that you wait until I fully recover and slowly lead you into that process”

Gu Qing Shan regretfully replied: “From how things currently are, that would be the only choice”

Right as he said that, his body jerked as if he was abruptly pulled by something, then disappeared into the void of space leaving without a trace.

Shroud laid on the ground with his eyes wide.

“How did it happen so quickly?” he exclaimed in shock

...

On the other side.

Gu Qing Shan felt like he was being pulled by an immense force through the boundless void of space towards a faraway region of the space vortex.

The only thing he saw on his way was the void, there wasn’t even a single living being.

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan discovered that he had passed through some sort of barrier, his vision instantly became filled with light.

——-a vast area of flat, barren land.

Dozens of skeletons were walking aimlessly on the ground.

A single gigantic bronze pillar that connected heaven and earth stood at the middle of it all.

A giant corpse clad in full-body black armor was pinned onto the bronze pillar, unable to move.

The corpse was hanging on its head, seemingly already dead.

A deep voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan’s ears:

“Youngster from the future, I cannot see through your past, present, or future, if you have something to tell me, then tell me what is your true name”

Gu Qing Shan was feeling a bit emotional.

This was an era of innumerable years ago, before Boss became the Lord of Infinite Origins, before the Awaitings had even entered the Reality Gate, and before the Apocalypses had erupted all over Reality.

Who could’ve expected that I would meet the giant corpse at this point in time?

“I am Gu Qing Shan, if you can see through Space and Time, you should know the relation between you and I” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Gu Qing Shan?” the giant corpse muttered, seemingly pondering something.

His head slowly lifted up, as if to peer into an infinite distance.

A few moments later.

He then uttered a heavy sigh, before saying: “...So that was the case... you are the person whose Fate was connected to me, no wonder you would appear at this crucial point in time”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “There was a voice who warned Shroud, telling him not to listen to the other apocalyptic voices, was that you?”

“It was me. His talents are considerable, but he shouldn’t have listened to the voices outside the Gate, that would only quicken the pace of the Apocalypses’ descent” the giant corpse replied.

Suddenly, a gap was torn through the void of space.

A small, soft-bodied bug fell out of the sky and landed on the ground.

“Wait a moment”

After the giant corpse said that, a piece of scale armor flew out from his body and stabbed the soft-bodied bug like a meteorite.

The soft-bodied bug uttered a curt scream, its body then swiftly melted, shrank down, and was fully absorbed into the scale.

The scale armor shook for a bit, then finally turned into a set of black skeletons that laid on the ground.

The skeleton slowly stood up, then began walking aimlessly on the ground.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned as he watched this.

When he first saw the giant corpse in the future, he saw countless black skeletons walking all over the ground, but didn’t quite understand what they were.

Only now, when he returned to the Age of Immemorial did he finally understand these skeletons’ background.

The giant corpse sighed, then continued: “This is already the 29th recent Apocalypse to appear—— the Reality Gate has been discovered, the age of apocalyptic calamity is about to arrive”
