Ilya carefully examined the Tianma bracelet before giving it back to Gu Qing Shan.

“What you have here is a token, not a summoning conduit”

She slowly explained: “Because of the Old God’s Barrier that surrounds this world, even [Origin] would have to pay a heavy price to summon the Tianma here”

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and asked: “Then what if I use this token above the ice layer?”

Ilya smiled bitterly: “If you did that, [Origin] will definitely notice, because it is an [Order], one that had completely covered this entire world”

This was the truth, as soon as [Origin] noticed something, the 2 million demonized and the army of 100,000 will immediately be dispatched.

Never mind how dangerous that was—– if the summoned Tianma was not informed of the exact situation beforehand, she might develop a few unnecessary misunderstandings.

Gu Qing Shan thought about it again and asked: “Then one last thing, how do you destroy an [Order]?”

“I’ll answer that!” Laura chimed in.

“1000 years ago, when the [Demon King Order] took over the Fallen Zones and was about to spread to the entire 900 million World Layers, the top-level Combatants at the time came up with a solution”

“Whenever the [Demon King Order] was about to take over another world, the Combatants would annihilate every last demonized being currently on that world”

“Without living beings to carry the [Order] and act as its anchor, even the [Order] can only wither and die!”

“So that’s how…”

Gu Qing Shan looked up at the sky.

Above the sky was the ocean layer.

The ice layer was above that.

2 million demonized beings were there.

This was an insurmountably huge force.

They were carriers and anchors for the [Demon King Order].

Only after killing them all could the [Demon King Order] be destroyed.

——–2 million demonized whose strengths were more and less around his level.

How… do I deal with them all?

Gu Qing Shan silently thought about it.

Ilya noticed and understood his gaze, sighing: “A great army of 100,000 ghosts and 2 million demonized beings, even I won’t be able to deal with that many enemies, not to mention they all carry [Order] with them, capable of exchanging for powerful magic items at a moment’s notice and even summon Demon Lords!”

Gu Qing Shan nodded: “Indeed… killing them all is easier said than done”

He carefully thought about everything that needed thinking, going over every minor detail.

After a while, he looked at Laura.

“Your royal majesty, I have a very important question I need to ask you” Gu Qing Shan asked solemnly.

“Gu Qing Shan, if you have something to say, go ahead, there’s no need to be so formal with me” Laura said.

“I need to be formal, because this is related to the life and death of the Spire Keeper Association, the direction of this entire war, and whether or not you will be able to avenge your parents”

Laura instantly became serious and solemnly spoke: “Speak, I’m listening”

“I need to ask you, are you willing to do everything in your power in order to avenge your parents?”

“I’m willing to do everything in my power”

“Are you willing to pay any price to destroy the [Worlds Apocalypse Online] currently imprisoned in this world?”

Laura spoke with conviction: “I’m willing to pay any price, even if it’s my own life, as long as Triste doesn’t win!”

Gu Qing Shan looked around at the Bramble Bird guards, then at Frost of the Cold Night Ilya.

He asked again: “Your subordinates here, are you willing to let them cooperate with me?”

“Cooperate with you?” Laura asked confusedly.

“Yes, including you yourself, I need everyone to cooperate and support me, only then will we have a small hint of a chance to win against the [Demon King Order] that’s about to turn into [Revolution]”

Laura took a deep breath and sincerely spoke: “Gu Qing Shan, as long as you can really win against [Worlds Apocalypse Online], I, as this generation’s Bramble Bird Empress, will make you—–”

“A Duke! A Duke of the Bramble Bird Kingdom!” Ilya suddenly cut in.

Laura was stunned.

Ilya quickly added: “You will become the first-ever non-Bramble Bird person to gain Dukedom in our Bramble Bird Kingdom, as well as the only human capable of travelling in and out of the Mystic Zones as they please. We will pray to the Saint Bramble Tree to bless and watch over your activities in the Mystic Zones”

Laura’s eyes rolled and nodded: “Indeed, that would be the case”

—–Umhm, that isn’t bad at all.

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit unexpected, but continued: “Then let me make this clear, for the next short period of time, I need you to do exactly as I say, can you do it?”

Laura looked at Gu Qing Shan.

This person, does he really have a solution to deal with [Revolution]?

If it was anybody else saying this, I wouldn’t believe a single word coming from their mouth.

But Gu Qing Shan was different, everything he’s done up until now were feats that I couldn’t even imagine possible even in my dreams.

If he says he can, he definitely can!

Laura thought about it shortly and walked to his side, taking his hand and telling her guards: “I will obey your words, my subjects will do the same”

The guards immediately spoke: “For the Empress, we are willing to cooperate”

Gu Qing Shan looked at Ilya.

Ilya also nodded, then added: “As long as you won’t make Laura do anything dangerous”

“Of course I won’t, don’t worry”

Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows loosened.

He stroked Laura’s head and said: “Very well, then leave what’s coming up to me”

“What are you planning to do?” Laura asked.

“Wait a minute——”

“Shannu” Gu Qing Shan suddenly clapped his hand, “come, we’re about to begin”

“Yes, gongzi”

Shannu turned back into a flying sword and hid herself into the void of space behind his back.

The Earth sword also disappeared from sight.

Gu Qing Shan told everyone: “I’m about to do something, please make sure not to make any sudden moves and definitely do not attack, in order to avoid any accidents”

“Then what should we do?” Ilya asked.

“Everyone here is sharp, simply follow my lead and do what I say”

“What exactly do you want to do?” Laura asked curiously.

“Preparing for the final battle”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan turned around.

While walking away, he glanced at the War God UI.

A few glowing lines of text had appeared on the UI.

[You’ve gained one use of Iaido]

[You’ve gained one use of Iaido]

[You’ve gained one use of Iaido]

[You’ve gained one use of Iaido]

[You’ve gained one use of Iaido]

[You’ve gained one use of Iaido]

[You’ve gained one use of Iaido]

[Please choose a Skill to use Iaido on]

These were the uses of [Iaido] that he gained while massacring the ghost army on the plains.

During every War God Quest-chain, Gu Qing Shan would receive a different method to use his Soul Points.

This was the main difference between a War God Quest and a Destiny Quest.

Gu Qing Shan ignored these notifications for now and told the War God UI: “Issue the final Quest”

[Ting]!

The notifications on the UI minimized by themselves as the War God System responded: [Please state the Quest objective]

“The final battle is about to come, we will deal with the [Demon King Order]” Gu Qing Shan said.

[Please confirm your quest objective]

“Confirm”

[Where your sword points, the System’s Quest shall follow the System has accepted your Quest objective]

At the bottom of the War God UI, the icon for [War God Quests] lit up.

Lines of glowing text quickly scrolled past the UI.

[This War God Quest is a quest-chain]

[Quest-chain has been prepared, you will have to complete all the Quests and eliminate the Demon King Order to receive the final reward]

[The final Quest had been issued]

[Quest description: Worlds Apocalypse Online: Origin is undergoing its final transformation, it will soon evolve into its [Revolution] form, escape this world and take over 300 million World Layers]

[Quest objective: Eliminate it]

[Quest reward: A secret]

[Please issue a name for the final Quest]

“Naming again?”

[This is the right of the War God]

Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: “My original world has a saying, ‘The heavens are always watching over you’”

“If heaven and earth really are watching, they will definitely frown upon everything that [Worlds Apocalypse Online] had done so far”

“…And so, this Quest will be called [Heaven’s Punishment]!”

The War God UI quickly accepted: [Decisive Battle Quest: Heaven’s Punishment has been issued]

As this line of text appeared at the very top of the Quest list, the entire Quest was formed into a complete Quest window and disappeared into the [War God Quest] icon.

After issuing the Quest, Gu Qing Shan stood still at the very center of the plaza.

He was a short distance away from Laura’s group, enough that no collateral damage would occur if something went wrong.

Tapping his Inventory Bag, he took out a cushion and set it on the ground, then let go of the Tianma bracelet in the air, using an object manipulation hand seal to have it hover and sway in the air.

Then Gu Qing Shan sat on the cushion.

He swallowed a pill, closed both eyes and began to converge his entire presence.

At a glance, he looked exactly like an ordinary person, even his breathing became faint.

And then his breathing completely stopped.

He was clearly sitting there, but the group watching from outside could sense that he had already wandered away.

Laura stood a short distance away and couldn’t help herself asking as she saw this: “What is he doing?”

“This state is called deep meditation, the method of cultivation for cultivators” Ilya explained.

Laura thought briefly and spoke: “If he told us to not make any sudden movements then let’s remain silent here”

“Yes, your majesty!”

As soon as they said that, the guards all became surprised.

As experienced soldiers, they sharply noticed something.

Gu Qing Shan was sitting still, but a wondrous energy wave emitted from his body to form a sort of unique connection to the heaven and earth.

This was the phenomenon that happened whenever someone broke through a realm.

At Sainted realm late stage for so long, Gu Qing Shan finally decided to breakthrough at this moment in time when the entire scale was tilted against him.

The heaven and earth quickly responded.

Huge dark clouds began to gather in the air, rumbling thunderously.

Laura’s expression changed: “What is he thinking!? The lightning of this world is extremely powerful, if he keeps going, he might be struck to death on the spot!”

The group looked up to the sky.

The sky itself was dim from the clouds, but not a single bolt of lightning struck down even after a while.

“What’s going on?” Laura was surprised.

“He entered and maintained a state of breaking through, but he’s not actually doing it, so the heaven’s tribulation only gathered without striking” Ilya hesitantly judged.

Everyone looked at Gu Qing Shan.

This person is acting like he’s about to break through, but keeps stalling without actually breaking through at all.

What exactly is he thinking?
