Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 746: There Are No Left-overs

The situation was about to be blown sky-high.

Even the Life God had personally come to the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.

But Gu Qing Shan managed to wait until Xie Gu Hong sent his voice through inner sight.

With a few words, Gu Qing Shan completely glossed over everything that happened today.

No matter if they were a Divinity or a cultivator, if they had any objections, go and find Xie Gu Hong.

As long as Xie Gu Hong was still alive, he was still the Palace Master.

So it makes sense both rationally and emotionally for him to take care of this matter.

That was the end.

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and clasped his fist to everyone around and spoke: “One last thing”

Everyone’s hearts tensed up as they looked at him again.

A large group of great cultivators standing in the air with somber expressions, waiting for a teenager to speak.

This scene was just as ridiculous as you imagine it to be.

But there was no helping it because this teenager hasn’t done anything considered ‘normal’ thus far, everyone was forced to take him seriously.

In front of everyone there, Gu Qing Shan had an apologetic look: “There are no left-overs in the master sect, I’m sorry”

Everyone was surprised.

As long-lived great cultivators, they understood perfectly what he meant.

If there isn’t anything else, our place doesn’t intend to invite you for a meal, so why aren’t you leaving yet?

The peak masters looked at him, then at the Life God, not knowing whether they should leave or not.

Without the Palace Master’s permission, cultivators from other peaks aren’t allowed on the master peak.

Remaining any longer here would be openly admitting that they were violating the rules.

But since the Life God hasn’t left, the peak masters couldn’t leave either.

Truthfully, the one most irritated right now was the Life God.

As a Divinity, what the hell did you even come here for?

The other party has already given up on pursuing any further and left everything to Xie Gu Hong, which means there currently weren’t any issues.

Even if there was, that would be Xie Gu Hong’s issue.

And he said ‘there aren’t any left-overs in the master peak’.

Then what else is a Divinity like you staying here for?

Waiting for food to be cooked?

No, this isn’t an issue of whether or not there are left-overs.

In fact, even if the master peak had left-over food, are you, a Divinity, going to shamelessly eat for free?

No, that’s not even the main point.

Then what’s the main point?

In the end, no matter what he did right now, there was no good way to wrap this up.

The Life God calms himself down and declared with a solemn tone of voice: “Go back to your own places, when Xie Gu Hong triumphantly returns, you can discuss the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace’s internal matters among yourselves”

This gaze was firm, his tone strict and solemn.

But his words…

Were completely redundant.

Apparently the Life God also noticed that, as he immediately turned into a golden streak of light and flew away after his declaration.

As the Divinity had left, the four Divine Beasts also silently retreated.

The peak masters had nothing left to say and no choice but to bring the corpses of those who were killed and the cultivators who were still alive to quickly leave the master peak.

They caused a huge commotion when they arrived, but unable to say a single word as they left.

Holding the sect master jade disk, Gu Qing Shan controlled it with a hand seal.

He then waved towards everyone standing outside: “Those who came to spectate are free to leave, our master peak will have our meal soon”

The jade disk flashed.

Poof

The entire master peak disappeared without a trace.

The concealment formation on the jade disk was activated.

The master peak was still standing there, but it couldn’t be seen anymore.

The three disciples of the master peak will have their meal.

This…

There was nothing else for them to see.

Earlier, the various parties came here because of the manifestation of a Divinity, they came for his teachings.

But now that the Divinity had already left in a sour mood and the Barren Cloud master peak had also openly closed the doors.

If they don’t take this chance to leave and stay until they are formally sent away, their pride wouldn’t be able to take it.

After this, everyone would know what kind of disciple Xie Gu Hong had taken in.

Let’s go, as soon as possible.

The great cultivators quickly scattered while silently thinking of the future.

The next generation of Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace is also not to be trifled with.

That was too much excitement for one day.

With various thoughts on their minds, the great cultivators returned to their sects.

…

Two days later.

Barren Cloud master peak.

Huang Zhan and Shen Yang were standing guard outside the Sword Abyss.

When Xie Gu Hong returned, he ordered them sternly to stay right there without going anywhere.

After standing guard for so long, Huang Zhan was a bit bored.

He glanced at Shen Yang and couldn’t help himself speaking: “Third brother, there’s something I’ve been thinking about”

“Go ahead, senior brother” Shen Yang replied.

Huang Zhan spoke: “Two days ago, why did everyone leave when Eldest brother mentioned there being no left-overs?”

Shen Yang replied: “Maybe because they didn’t have a reason to remain on our master peak?”

Huang Zhan waved his hand dismissively: “That’s not that I meant. I was thinking about how well senior brother phrased it; no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t learn it at all”

Shen Yang chuckled: “What would you have said instead?”

Huang Zhan puffed out his chest and pretended to shout: “If there’s nothing left for you to do here, get off the master peak”

Shen Yang stared at him: “There was a Divinity in the sky, you dared to tell him to scram?”

Huang Zhan deflated and continued: “That’s why I said senior brother’s words were phrased well. He was clearly telling everyone to scram, but even the Divinity was unable to scold him in any way and just left”

“That’s why he’s the Eldest brother” Shen Yang replied.

While they were chatting outside, Xie Gu Hong was scolding Gu Qing Shan inside the Sword Abyss.

“Did you know that you nearly angered the Divinity a few times during that!” Xie Gu Hong said.

Gu Qing Shan just smiled: “I know that. I was treading carefully in order not to anger the Divinity”

Xie Gu Hong sighed: “You can’t do that again from now on, otherwise if you really did offend a Divinity someday, even I wouldn’t be able to save you”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’m sure I already offended him”

Xie Gu Hong went silent.

“That is true” he slowly said, “the Life God must hate your guts right now”

“It is hard to make the Divinities happy, but making them hateful is very simple. If you ever run into a follower of the Life God from on now, run away as soon as possible”

“Furthermore, do not arbitrarily cause a commotion, it’s best to see the situation clearly before you act”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit doubtful: “Master, what do you mean by that?”

Xie Gu Hong went silent briefly before answering: “The Life God protected the peak masters’ lives”

Gu Qing Shan also went silent and smirked: “He’s a Divinity, and no one dares to go against the words of Divinity, is that right?”

“Yes, Gu Qing Shan, you have to understand. We are creations of Divinities, and the decree of Divinities are the meaning of our existence”

“Master, is that what you really think?”

“No, that is what the Divinities think”

“Then what about you, Master?”

“I appreciate them giving me life, but as sentient life, I naturally have my own thoughts”

Xie Gu Hong clapped his hands

A figure appeared from the void of space.

Luo Bing Li.

She told Gu Qing Shan: “I need a drop of your blood, of course, it would be more effective if there were more”

Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan cut his open and gave her a small blob of his blood.

Luo Bing Li lightly pressed one finger into the void of space.

The blob of blood floated still in the air.

Luo Bing Li pulled out a flute and played a tune towards the blood.

As the song ended.

The blob of blood slowly turned into Gu Qing Shan’s appearance.

“This is?” Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.

Xie Gu Hong explained: “Your junior brothers will be sent to cultivate in the Water God Divine Palace, and I will have to return to the frontlines soon, so it will only be you alone on the master peak”

“This situation is very dangerous. Qing Shan, next time, if I really die and the peak masters must take your life no matter the cost, you wouldn’t have the time to wake up the four Divine Beasts”

“And so…” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

“And so, we will create a doppelganger of you to live and cultivate here on the master peak” Luo Bing Li continued.

“What about me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Xie Gu Hong and Luo Bing Li exchanged glances.

Luo Bing Li commented: “I heard that your skills with the 6 arts were quite decent”

“It’s passable” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Xie Gu Hong spoke: “We have one final identity that is both trustworthy and secretive, not only is the identity not known among the people of humanity, it is completely unknown to Divinities”

“Qing Shan, you will take on this identity. I hope that you will be able to seize the time and continue to cultivate your swordsmanship”

His tone with heavy and stern: “Once your swordsmanship reaches a point where you can retaliate against the peak masters, we will be able to be assured of your safety, and you will be able to return to the sect as the Eldest Disciple once more”

Luo Bing Li added: “Not only is the identity a trustworthy one, but it is also in a safe place, so you will not be too busy every day. Once you’re finished with your daily chores, you can use the rest of the time to cultivate”

“Where am I going exactly?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“The camp of humanity’s 23rd reserve corps, the very last one among the 23 reserve corps”

“In other words, I will be a soldier cultivator” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Since it’s a reserve corps, I probably won’t have to go to the frontlines too quickly, not to mention that it’s the very last one out of 23.

It would’ve been better if I had gone to the battlefield instead since I’ll be able to earn some Soul Points that way.

While he was thinking that, the two great cultivators both shook their heads.

“No, not a soldier, the final secret identity we have on our hands is being one of the 23rd reserve corps’ cooks” Luo Bing Li replied.

“A cook?” Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
