Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 713 - The Daemons’ Labyrinth

Chapter 713: The Daemons’ Labyrinth

The surface of Drifting Sand world was currently filled with giant green arms.

The sky was completely encased by the Desolate World Eater Demon Bug.

Ironically, the only people who managed to escape were currently immersed in chaos and mindless murder.

They were stealing, taking rare treasures and resources for themselves.

As if they were desperately trying to prove that by doing this they would be able to survive longer than others.

In the most secluded corner of the floating market.

A place where the chaos still hadn’t reached and managed to remain in temporary peace.

Little Dusk placed the bowl and utensils down, finishing her meal.

“I’m sorry, I ate a bit too much” she said embarrassed.

She completely cleaned out the entire table of food.

Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Don’t mind it, having nothing but empty dishes left on the table is the greatest compliment to a cook”

Little Dusk asked: “Really?”

“Hm, I’m not lying”

Gu Qing Shan took the dishes and pot back behind the counter.

He once again prepared some more ingredients and made himself two simple dishes.

“In truth, food is a shortcut to learning about the world, it can tell you how wonderful the world is through an enjoyable meal”

While cooking, Gu Qing Shan said so.

Little Dusk said nothing and only nodded excitedly.

A figure suddenly flew in from afar, slamming on the ground near where they were.

Red blood flowed from his body, quickly dying the ground in a surprising amount of red liquid.

The body laid still on the ground without moving.

Gu Qing Shan glanced over before putting the first cooked dish on the table and walked towards him.

Little Dusk also glanced at the person and told him: “He’s too heavily wounded, his consciousness is already blurred with multiple critical wounds all over his body, he probably can’t be saved”

“I know”

Gu Qing Shan replied before crouching down before the man and carefully observed him.

The man wore a solemn-looking dark-colored garb, apparently belonging to some sort of official organization.

“What are you doing?” Little Dusk curiously asked.

“Another shortcut to learning about the world” Gu Qing Shan answered.

He placed his hand on the man’s forehead.

[Soul Reading]!

A few moments later, the man died completely.

Gu Qing Shan returned, washed his hands before continuing with the second dish.

“Just now, you—-” Little Dusk hesitantly said.

“It’s called [Soul Reading], a spell that cultivators use. It allows me to learn what others have been through and gain more intel” Gu Qing Shan told her.

The man just now was a military man of a certain intergalactic empire, a high-ranking general to be exact. He came to the black market this time to privately resell some ammunition he embezzled.

And now, he just gave quite a bit of knowledge and intel, allowing Gu Qing Shan to better understand the Strife Zones.

He finished making the second dish.

Gu Qing Shan then scooped himself a bowl of rice and began to gorge down his food.

After silently sitting on one side thinking something for a while, Little Dusk couldn’t help it anymore and tapped Gu Qing Shan on the shoulder.

“What?”

Gu Qing Shan stopped eating and asked.

Little Dusk offered him her forehead: “If you want to know something about the Age of Old, you can try using [Soul Reading] on me, I know quite a lot”

Feeling both troubled and amused, Gu Qing Shan lightly flicked her forehead: “There’s a certain amount of risk associated with Soul Reading, I’m not going to arbitrarily do that to you”

“Ah, is that so? And I thought I’d be able to help you out a bit more”

Little Dusk rubbed her forehead in pain and sat back down.

Seeing her at a bit of a loss, Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Little Dusk, if I wanted to know something, I can just ask you directly”

Little Dusk happily smiled: “Oh yeah, that’s both simple and safe, you really are smart for being able to think of that”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and continued to eat.

Then he recalled something.

He checked his surroundings to find that there wasn’t anyone who paid attention to this area yet, so Gu Qing Shan went into the kitchen in the back.

He sneakily took out the #109 coin in the kitchen and whispered: “Iced Drink”

The fridge appeared.

He quickly took out one of the bottles before shoving the fridge back in.

Then he returned to the open-air dining area, opened the bottle, and drank as he ate, truly refreshing.

Little Dusk understood at a glance.

Ah, so he’s eating soup.

Right… what I ate earlier was soup. How embarrassing, I ate all of the soup that he made.

Little Dusk’s face went a bit flushed.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at her and asked in surprise: “Huh, what’s with that face?”

Little Dusk hurriedly looked towards the black market and quickly said: “It’s nothing, I’m just curious about when those people are going to stop”

“About them…” Gu Qing Shan was successfully distracted and looked towards the black market.

Several powerful presences maintained their own positions while remaining wary, probing other parties’ strength.

It was clear that the powerful leading Combatants were still not satisfied with the riches they managed to get.

They wanted more.

Gu Qing Shan scowled and answered: “From the looks of it, it’ll be quite a while until they’re done, we should stay here for a bit longer”

“To struggle against each other over things they stole from others, how dull” Little Dusk commented.

“It won’t be for long”

“In such a hopeless situation, something unexpected might happen” Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

As soon as he said that, a blinding light illuminated the entire world.

The humanoid figure of light appeared.

It represented the peerless Divinities as it appeared in the sky.

All the struggles immediately stopped.

“True God, I am your most humble servant, please save me” someone shouted.

A certain follower had already prostrated himself, crying as he loudly called out: “O’ honorable God, I am a devout believer of the God of Secrets, I beg you, please save me from this place!”

The insane massacre and fighting in the entire black market suddenly stopped all at once.

The Combatants whose hands were soaked in the blood of others became the purest, most sincere believers in the blink of an eye.

They knelt on the ground, using whatever means they had to express their sincerity and faith towards their Gods.

Even an experienced person like Gu Qing Shan had to chuckle at this scene.

He muttered: “God does not save those who disregards the life of others”

This was the opening sentence of the Holy Bible of Life, something that came from the memory of the dead general just now, Gu Qing Shan only said that because he felt the occasion to be correct.

That general was a devout believer of the God of Life; he could recite word for word the entire 8 million pages of their praying books, a man of honor and the subject of admiration for many in his empire.

But when he died, he was selling embezzled ammunition on a black market.

The entire floating market was surrounded by a solemn air, under the sincere gazes of absolute faith from everyone, the figure of light finally spoke.

「 I will temporarily stop the spread of sin to buy you all some time 」

A glorious light came from its body to illuminate the entire world.

This light seemed to carry power, as the giant green arms quickly retreated back into the desert as it felt the light shining on it.

The calamity has been averted for now.

Everyone erupted into cheers and praise.

The figure of light spoke again: 「 Lambs of the Gods, devout believers, survivors by the grace of the Gods, you must remember what I’m about to tell you 」

「 An extremely powerful and sinful creature is being sealed underneath this world 」

「 From the moment that the seal broke and the Demon Bug showed itself, even the strongest of you have failed to preserve your lives within this calamity 」

「 There is only one way to save yourselves 」

「 You all must find the 21 poems of divination from the 7 Holy Bibles passed down from years ago 」

「 To prevent premature activation, we purposefully hid the final trigger where almost no living beings can reach, and only those poems will direct you to where the hidden trigger lies 」

「 Go, follow the poems and find the 3 Divine Armaments of the Gods. They are hidden beneath the drifting sand, within the unmanned labyrinth 」

「 Bring the 3 Divine Armaments out from the labyrinth, when all three once again feel the wind, they will be activated 」

At this point, the figure of light’s tone became slower and lower.

「 This is the heritage of the seven Gods, that which was left to help you escape this crisis 」

「 Once the Demon Bug feels the power of the 3 Divine Armaments, it will spit this world out and leave 」

「 The 3 Divine Armaments have the power to once again seal the endless power of sin 」

「 In addition, those who manage to find the Divine Armaments at the end of the labyrinth, those who successfully seal away the sinful creature, will receive our blessing…」

At this point, the figure of light stopped.

Everyone’s heart stopped.

They were waiting for the figure of light to announce the blessing of the Gods.

Under countless anticipating eyes, the figure of light finally announced.

「 Their Tree of Divinity will immediately become fully lit! They will ascend and become Demigods! 」
