Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1642: Monument of Time

Chapter 1642: Monument of Time

In the darkness, a flash of light flickers.

Gu Qing Shan and Laura both appeared, landing on top of an arduous tall cliff.

“Have we arrived?” Laura nervously asked.

“Yes, let me take a look——–”

Gu Qing Shan observed their surroundings.

Only to see that there was a long passage behind him, with him and Laura standing at the very end of the passage, looking out towards the endless darkness of the void.

“This is probably the end of the Dusty passage” Gu Qing Shan commented.

“Didn’t you reach this place the last time you were here?” Laura asked.

“I didn’t. Last time, I came here in search of the spear to fight against Soul Shrieker, so I returned after I found it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He gazed into the dark void in front of himself.

Even after extending his inner sight several ten thousand miles in front of himself, he still couldn’t discover anything.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve discovered the Void Wall]

[This is a wall constructed out of void, it cannot stop anyone from moving forward, but unless you find the correct method, you will never be able to reach the place you wish to go]

After pondering briefly, Gu Qing Shan took out the piece of bone from before.

The piece of bone seemed to have sensed the change in its surroundings and began to give off a dim light that peered into the void outside the cliff.

After giving off this light, the piece of bone crumbled into dust and became scattered into the wind.

A long passage appeared within the darkness of the void.

In the middle of the passage, there was a stone tablet with numerous clocks hanging on its side.

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

Tick tock!

The minute and hour hands of those clocks were all pointing at different times, but all of them were moving at a constant rate.

“Seems like this was the place, let’s go”

Gu Qing Shan brought Laura and headed into the passage.

As soon as the two of them stepped onto the passage, a high-pitched voice called out from another part of the cliff:

“Gu Qing Shan, wait!”

Gu Qing Shan and Laura both stopped their advance.

As they looked back at the cliff, they saw a beautiful snow-winged angel hurriedly running towards them.

She flapped her wings, wanting to fly into the passage as well, only to fly into the void and had to return to the cliffside.

She looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at Laura who was standing by Gu Qing Shan’s side and tried to squeeze out a smile, greeting him: “Gu Qing Shan, long time no see”

“It’s truly been a long time indeed, Sacred Chant angel – Frost” Gu Qing Shan nodded to greet her in return.

Indeed, this beautiful angel was indeed the daughter of the Heavenly Father that Gu Qing Shan had saved in the past, the one called Frost.

“This big sister is—–” Laura silently sent her voice.

“An angel, we’re not really that close” Gu Qing Shan’s expression went stiff, but didn’t say anything else.

The Sacred Chant angel stared closely at Laura and asked: “And how might this little lady be related to you?”

“My little sister” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Laura glanced up at him.

Gu Qing Shan was smiling, but he sent his voice to Laura with a very emotionless tone: “Watch out for this angel”

Noticing Gu Qing Shan’s caution, Laura carefully hid behind him.

The Sacred Chant angel then asked: “Are you heading into the Dusty World now?”

“That’s right, we’re a bit short on time, so if there’s nothing else, let’s talk again after we return” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

The Sacred Chant angel bit her lip: “Gu Qing Shan, can you take me with you? I also need to make a trip to the Dusty World”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Can’t you enter by yourself?”

“To enter the Dusty World, one must receive an invitation from Occultism, then obtain a corresponding Occultist identity at the end of the passage——– I currently cannot enter by myself” the Sacred Chant angel explained.

Gu Qing Shan apologetically told her: “I’m sorry, I only manage to enter this place because my little brought me here”

The Sacred Chant angel’s beautiful visage displayed clear anger:

“Gu Qing Shan, don’t lie to me! You clearly possess the Twine of Cloud Atlas, I know that rope can take two people into the Occultism world”

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “Even if that’s the case, I still need to take my little sister with me, there’s no way for me to take another person”

The Sacred Chant angel fell into a brief moment of silence.

She suddenly said: “Gu Qing Shan, if you give the other quota to enter the Dusty World to me, I’ll give myself to you”

Silence.

Laura stared with her eyes opened wide at this angel.

This angel is breathtakingly beautiful——– her facial features, her physique, even the holy aura she gives off could easily sway countless men towards her.

The Sacred Chant angel continued: “Gu Qing Shan, I can swear my allegiance to you alone, I can do anything and everything you ask of me. Regardless if you want me to fight, or to bear your children, I would not refuse and coordinate with you to the best of my abilities—– as long as you give me the other quota to enter the Dusty World”

The Sacred Chant angel gently placed her hand on her chest, as if ready to undo the small silver button on her outfit at any moment.

By undoing this button, her outermost layer of clothing would immediately drop.

Laura looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at the Sacred Chant angel.

She tilted her head a bit and silently told him: “Gu Qing Shan, this lady’s figure is better than Anna, but her face isn’t to my liking, what do you think?”

Gu Qing Shan glared at her.

Laura ignored his threat and continued: “Do you want to marry her? If you truly like her, I’ll transfer the Occultism power from my body to her”

Gu Qing Shan discreetly shook his head.

He then explained to the Sacred Chant angel: “You seemed to have misunderstood something. The Twine of Cloud Atlas belongs to my little sister, I’m merely accompanying her into the Dusty World to protect her”

The Sacred Chant angel’s expression changed.

The situation is completely different from what I had thought, the Twine of Cloud Atlas actually belongs to that little girl.

She lowered her hand and turned to Laura.

“Little sister, can you let me replace Gu Qing Shan and accompany you into the Dusty World?” she gently asked.

“Why should I do that?” Laura curiously asked in return.

“I am the daughter of the Heavenly Father, I can exchange the most precious things we have with you for it” the Sacred Chant angel replied.

“Oh? The most precious things? What are those?” Laura asked, a bit interested.

The Sacred Chant Angel replied: “Countless treasures! Infinitely powerful Divine Artifacts! And even the protection of my entire Heavenly Kingdom! I can give it all to you”

Laura: “...”

Gu Qing Shan: “...”

Laura sighed and tiredly said: “The same things every single day, I really can’t pretend to be excited for it anymore”

She grabbed Gu Qing Shan’s hand and asked: “Gu Qing Shan, how much more time are we going to waste here?”

Gu Qing Shan turned to the Sacred Chant angel and said: “I’m very sorry, but we really are short for time”

After that, he placed Laura on his shoulder again and swiftly headed into the passage.

The Sacred Chant angel tried to call out to him again and again, offering one thing after another and even attempted to threaten them, but Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother to even stop.

Gu Qing Shan and Laura simply continued heading deeper inside; after not too long, the Sacred Chant angel also disappeared into the void of space, no longer to be seen.

“You really aren’t taking her into consideration at all? Her figure is really stunning y’know” Laura tried asking again with a mischievous tone.

“Stop with the nonsense—— why do I feel like you’re a lot chattier than you used to be?”

“I’m not a little girl, you know?” Laura shrugged.

After that, she handed an earpiece to Gu Qing Shan.

“Hm?” Gu Qing Shan looked back at her.

“This is a Technological Artifact. Whenever someone speaks, it can collect information about their brainwaves, expression, voice, gestures, technique fluctuations, control of power, then analyze everything in order to conclude the other party’s goal” Laura replied.

“So you used this on that angel just now?” Gu Qing Shan put the earpiece on and asked.

“That’s right. Since she was an angel who wanted to bear your children, I wanted to know whether or not she was sincere”

After saying that, Laura pressed a button on the earpiece.

The Sacred Chant angel’s voice could then be heard from the earpiece:

[I definitely have to head into the Dusty World this time]

[After waiting for so long, he’s finally here]

[Who is that little girl—— did she already take up a quota?]

[Kill me...]

[I need to persuade Gu Qing Shan first]

[That little girl doesn’t have the qualifications to enter the Dusty World, let’s gloss it over and deceive her...]

[It’s regretful, they’re already in the passage... How can I make Gu Qing Shan take me with him?]

[Damn it, the Dusty World is the final hope...]

Her voice faded.

Gu Qing Shan took the earpiece off and shook his head.

Laura was clearly irritated: “Considering she was acquainted with you, I didn’t act. Otherwise, I already have plenty of Technological weapons ready to blast her”

“Let’s worry about that later, we don’t have time to bother with her right now” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.

The two of them approached the stone tablet.

The stone tablet had various types of clocks, watches, hourglasses, as well as other strange and unusual time-keeping instruments hanging from it.

The stone tablet neatly continued to extend endlessly far into the unknown void.

With a flash of light, a woman made of nothing but light appeared in front of the two of them.

Her figure or visage was completely unclear, as the only thing that marked her out was a purple outline of light.

『 Greetings, I am the receptionist, hereby welcome the two of you on behalf of the Dusty World 』

She then looked at the two of them: 『 At this crucial point in time, we have been graced with two new members, what a truly joyous occasion 』

『 Before entering, please hand over your time 』

A green fluorescent stick appeared in her hand.

The woman waved the light stick towards the two of them from a distance.

Instantly, two small watches flew out from their bodies and became attached to the gap on the stone tablet.

Lines of glowing text then appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision:

[Your flow of time had been taken]

[You currently do not exist in any time period, please quickly end this state, or you will be noticed by the Chrono race]

The woman then said: 『 There, your flow of time had been left for the Monument of Time to care for. However, there is no need to worry, as you will obtain a new flow of time when you enter the Dusty World——- 』

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

No wonder the esteemed lady of the Sacrificial Dance said that there was no need for me to worry about time.

It seems the Dusty World was hiding quite a few profound secrets.

The woman paused briefly before continuing: 『 Before you enter, there is one more thing 』

『 I need to determine your initial Title, this is a very important matter, who will go first? 』

“Pardon me, but what would your excellency use to determine our Title?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 It will depend on your most prominent feature, experience, or mission—— in short, it would be a unique characteristic that distinct you from others that are your peers 』the woman gently answered.

“I’ll go first!” Laura volunteered.

『 Then let us determine her majesty Laura’s Title first——- in truth, your Title can very easily be determined. Since your ancestor had originally departed from the Dusty World countless years ago, your Title would be——- 』

With a wave of her stick, a spinning halo of light appeared around Laura and eventually manifested as a line written in the Bramble Bird language above her head:

[Returned Bramble Bird Blood]

Sensing something, Laura was surprised: “I seem to... have obtained some sort of power”

『 Of course, the bloodline of the Bramble Bird race contains a lot of power—— furthermore, as Titles are the manifestation of Laws, they are recognized by all living beings and worlds in existence. They all contain their own unique powers, which is why they are so crucial in the Dusty World]

Gu Qing Shan and Laura exchanged glances, silently committing this knowledge to heart.

The woman turned to Gu Qing Shan.

“Please” Gu Qing Shan smiled.

The woman waved her stick towards Gu Qing Shan.

Scattered light then appeared around Gu Qing Shan and manifested into words written in the common human language:

[Pure Male]
