Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 855 - Causality Skill: [Existence]

Chapter 855: Causality Skill: [Existence]

In the darkness.

Gu Qing Shan was still standing on the round disk facing the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s body.

He had only seen a fraction of the other party’s power.

Gu Qing Shan could already confirm that he was completely helpless to win against even a corpse that could only respond reactively.

Do I really have to become the Demon King?

Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked the [Revolution] UI: “Even if you evolve to the [Demon King Ascension] stage, it’s not like I would instantly be able to win against the Abyssal monsters, am I? That’s not realistic”

[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution] responded: [After obtaining your intel, I have inspected the current world’s environment and confirmed a certain thing: only two weapons of humanity have the power to contend against the Abyssal monsters]

“Which two?” Gu Qing Shan quickly asked.

[The Samsara, and the sleeping Demon Dragon]

Gu Qing Shan recalled how the Divine King was killed by the Soul Shrieker and said: “The Samsara has already been broken, and the Abyssal monsters have become cautious about it, they would definitely monitor the situation of every Samsara fragment”

[Revolution] continued: [Indeed, that is why I must evolve to the Demon King Ascension stage——- only during that stage would I be able to convert the sleeping Demon Dragon’s body into a Demon Lord weapon]

Gu Qing Shan recalled the look of desire on the Demon Dragon’s face as he craved the power of the Eternal Abyss and replied: “The sleeping Demon Dragon doesn’t seem to be loyal to humanity, and it’s not necessarily going to be a match for the Abyssal Fate Weaver”

[Revolution] replied: [But it can indeed hold the Abyssal Fate Weaver back to a certain degree and bring Your Excellency a glimmer of hope for survival]

[Revolution] then spoke as if to conclude the conversation: [And thus, please obtain the sleeping Demon Dragon’s body]

Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.

Please, that’s impossible.

The sleeping Demon Dragon was a cautious and clever individual who had gained his own will since long ago.

He would definitely not throw his own life away just to kill both himself and the Abyssal Fate Weaver.

Which means, he is definitely still alive.

“Are there no other solutions?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[There are no alternatives] – [Revolution] answered.

“Then, we first have to think of a way to obtain the Demon Dragon’s body”

Gu Qing Shan muttered and fell into thought.

The sleeping Demon Dragon’s body is gigantic enough that its physical strength can match an Abyssal monster.

From what I understand, the Abyssal Fate Weaver caused the Bygone Era humans a lot of casualties.

Yet they couldn’t do anything apart from expelling its soul from its body to force it into a pseudo-death state.

Then, as the bio-weapon that stood watch over the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s body, the sleeping Demon Dragon would also be extremely powerful.

——-even by the Bygone Era standards.

Would humanity not leave any safety measures against this kind of weapon?

There should be.

Gu Qing Shan tried thinking further down this train of thought.

From a normal human perspective, any weapon that went out of control would be an exceedingly terrifying prospect.

Which means—— there is definitely a way to restrain the Demon Dragon.

Gu Qing Shan stopped talking to [Revolution] and crouched down to pat the round disk.

The round disk answered him: [Yes, teenager, if you have no other orders, would you like to return the same way we came?]

“No hurry, I have two questions I want to ask”

[Please go ahead]

“First question, what is the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s most notable ability?”

[The Causality Skill: Existence]

“What is [Existence]?”

[Whenever it wants to become any existence, it can simply declare so to bring that existence into reality—— over 100 million years ago, it used this ability to infiltrate human civilization]

“Can you give a clear example?”

[For example, humanity originally had 7 supreme leaders, if the Abyssal Fate Weaver declared that there were 8 supreme leaders instead, the total number of supreme leaders would increase from 7 to become 8. The entire process would become naturally reasonable and justified, no one would feel any suspicious at all]

“Then it would become the extra person?”

[Indeed]

Thinking about that possibility, Gu Qing Shan immediately shivered from fear.

This ability was truly eerie, combined with the Fate Weaver’s original terrifying strength, there would be no way for anyone to prevent this.

“Are there any ways to reveal it?” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.

[There is one method to achieve that result. One must surpass the limit of Space-Time and view the entire timeline from the outside, only then would they notice what had changed from the original fate of the timeline and discover who the Abyssal Fate Weaver was]

Gu Qing Shan was speechless.

Regardless of how powerful the Bygone Era humans were, how many of them could actually achieve that level?

They had only ever surpassed the limit of Space-Time by activating the power of the three coins to reverse the flow of time, which drew the attention of countless terrifying monsters they couldn’t deal with.

If that’s the case, the Abyssal Fate Weaver is basically an unsolvable entity.

Gu Qing Shan regained his calm and continued to ask: “Then my second question, when humanity created this Abyssal Jail, did they leave anything to restrain it?”

The round disk answered him: [The more powerful a weapon, the more it cannot be allowed to lose control. Humanity naturally prepared the means to destroy a weapon that went out of control, but this is the most confidential information of the Abyssal Jail. You must prove your identity as a human once again to obtain that secret]

[Would you like to obtain this confidential information?]

“I need that information”

[Please come with me]

Saying so, the round disk carried Gu Qing Shan away.

As they came out from the metal doors, Gu Qing Shan hurriedly ordered the round disk to close the metal doors again.

He couldn’t afford even one accident happening right now.

The round disk carried Gu Qing Shan into the darkness far above, all the way until they reached an area of dimly shining stars.

[Conducting full-body scan]

A circular ring of light appeared at Gu Qing Shan’s feet and started to scan through his body at an extremely slow pace.

A few moments later.

The ring of light vanished.

A mechanical voice spoke up: [Identify confirmed, although malnutrition, lack of proper exercise as well as excessive use of your brain over a long period of time caused your body to be very emaciated, you are indeed human]

Gu Qing Shan replied: “You really didn’t have to say that middle part”

[As humanity has disappeared for an excessively long amount of time, and you are the only human teenager to appear, I shall report to you the method to destroy the sleeping Demon Dragon]

[Please prepare 12 offensive Soul Artifacts and attach them to the Abyssal Jail’s control center. The control center will utilize these 12 Soul Artifacts to trigger the hex of instant death within the Demon Dragon and eliminate its soul]

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Where is the control center?”

[Please look up, you will see the control center]

Gu Qing Shan looked up as instructed to see the sky full of dimly glowing stars.

So that’s the control center.

“Are there any offensive Soul Artifacts here?” he asked again.

[There are none]

“In other words, I will need to provide the 12 offensive Soul Artifacts in order to trigger the order to kill the Demon Dragon’s soul?”

[No, the Demon Dragon is already dead, it is unnecessary to kill it again]

“If I still insist on doing that, can you still trigger that hex of instant death?”

[If the Demon Dragon’s soul still exists, that is possible]

Gu Qing Shan nodded and didn’t ask further.

——12 offensive Soul Artifacts.

Shit, it’s been 100 million years, where am I going to find 12 offensive Soul Artifacts from the Bygone Era?

At this point, the round disk asked again:

[You seem to be suspicious of the Demon Dragon’s death, would you like me to check the Demon Dragon’s body again?]

Gu Qing Shan immediately answered: “No, I’m not suspicious of that at all, you don’t need to check”

——–although I don’t know how the sleeping Demon Dragon managed to deceive the jail’s control system AI, it’s most likely only pretending to be dead.

If I ordered the system AI to examine it again, it would instantly notice that something was off.

At that time, I would have no choice but to escape from this phantom image.

Consecutively escaping two phantom images in a row would definitely cause the suspicion of the figure of light and Luo Bing Li.

It’s not yet a suitable time to do this.

The emotionless mechanical voice asked again: [Then, do you have any other requests?]

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Please send me away from this place, if possible, please put me in the Xie Qi Fiend Realm”

[Understood]

A screen of light appeared around Gu Qing Shan’s body.

He quickly vanished from the Abyssal Jail.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in the Xie Qi Fiend Realm.

Since Gu Qing Shan was taking a normal evil creature’s form, despite how suddenly he appeared, none of the other evil creatures bothered to pay attention to him.

There were too many different teleportation spells to count, they were already used to it.

Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of the road and wanted to find somewhere silent to stay and reorganize his thoughts when he saw all the evil creatures here were running towards a certain direction.

He didn’t care much about what happened in the Xie Qi Fiend Realm, but since he wanted to collect as much intel as he could, he randomly grabbed an evil creature and asked:

“What happened?”

As it was suddenly held back, the evil creature was a bit annoyed, but before it could explode in anger, several flying swords had already surrounded it closely around its body.

The evil creature froze, then displayed a flattering smile: 「 S-sir, it’s because the two Cruel Bone Devil Kings are fighting. It’s quite rare to see such a thing so everyone is rushing to check it out 」

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help asking: “Two Cruel Bone Devil Kings? Fighting?”

The evil creature tried to smile as brightly as it could: 「 Indeed, I won’t lie to you sir, but those brothers are the true rulers of the Xie Qi Fiend Realm, the Xie Qi Fiend King was nothing but a puppet 」

Layers upon layers of doubt were cast in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

That can’t be right.

There had only ever been a single Cruel Bone Devil King.

In another phantom image, I once ruled over the Xie Qi Fiend Realm that was fused with the Cruel Bone Devil Realm.

As far as I know, I’m certain that there definitely were only a single Devil King in the Cruel Bone Devil King.

Gu Qing Shan tried to keep his calm and asked: “Since when did the Cruel Bone Devil Realm have two Devil Kings?”

「 They are blood brothers who had always ruled over the Cruel Bone Devil Realm together 」

The evil creature replied naturally.

Almost uncontrollably, Gu Qing Shan quickly recalled the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s ability.

Causality Skill.

[Existence].

Gu Qing Shan’s heart gradually sank.

That’s right, it was because I came from another timeline and know the truth about the timeline that I wasn’t deceived by this ability.
