Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1366

Gu Qing Shan put the fine black sand in his hand away.

He didn’t answer the question immediately, but once again looked at Red Wraith.

“What is it?” Red Wraith wasn’t too clear.

Gu Qing Shan quickly seized this bit of time to quickly ponder.

Red Wraith said that parallel worlds are a series of illusions with overlapping fate, this meant the same thing as when the black-spiked crab said that ‘parallel worlds are a masquerade’.

What exactly was being hidden that caused so many parallel worlds to appear?

Who was the one who created these numerous parallel worlds?

Gu Qing Shan silently shook his head.

This matter is too far away from me right now.

“This handful of Reincarnation Spirit Devouring Sand in my hands came from the Wraith realm, you should already know that” Gu Qing Shan suddenly replied.

Red Wraith said: “That is a treasure of the Samsara, you couldn’t have possibly stolen it—— I highly doubt that you had the capabilities to even attempt such a thing”

“Just take a look at how the [Chaos] Serpentes King ended up. It was an opponent I couldn’t have possibly won against, but it was ultimately sealed away as I wanted it to be” Gu Qing Shan replied with a calm expression.

Red Wraith pondered those words.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “I had tried to look for this same treasure on another world, but no matter how many worlds I came in contact with, I could not find something of the same nature, so I was left with no choice but to exhaust my means and take it from your world”

Red Wraith sighed, then couldn’t help but reply: “Naturally, within the space vortex, there exists only a handful of Reincarnation Spirit Devouring Sand—– the will of the Samsara most likely felt it to be too cruel, so it would never allow a second handful of this kind of sand to come into existence”

Gu Qing Shan’s mind quickly turned.

Success!

This was an item from the Wraith realm, not from the great tomb of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, nor from the artifact spirit of the Delimitation Divine Sword within the great tomb!

In other words, that Wraith artifact spirit came from the Wraith realm.

This was the only way to explain why it had this handful of sand.

But that begs the question, why did the Wraith artifact spirit give me this handful of sand?

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, Red Wraith sighed and said:

“Rhode, you are unbelievably weak, but your capabilities are unlike anything else I’ve seen during my entire life”

Gu Qing Shan regained his senses and signaled for the other party to continue.

Red Wraith appeared confused: “I really cannot understand. You’ve clearly earned the [Chaos] Serpentes King’s trust, why did you have to turn on it?”

“Why couldn’t I?” Gu Qing Shan grinned in reply.

Red Wraith continued: “But it was among the most powerful entities within the space vortex, even with all my strength, I wouldn’t have been able to kill it—– but you’ve offended it, it will eventually find you and kill you”

Gu Qing Shan paused for a bit, then replied: “This is a war of beliefs”

“Are you perhaps really an Awaiting from the [Order] faction?” Red Wraith tried asking.

“No, I am a cultivator, but I represent them” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Red Wraith didn’t expect him to answer so readily, so he was surprised.

Can his words be trusted?

Seeing his eyes, Gu Qing Shan suddenly added: “Since we have made a vow to heaven and earth to mutually not harm the other party, I have no reason to deceive you”

Red Wraith pondered: “That is true, but your personal strength is still much too…”

Gu Qing Shan casually took a dark green bow from the void of space and wielded it in his hand.

“A Dreamscape Soul Artifact from the [Chaos] faction” Red Wraith took a deep breath, then took a guess: “You killed an Awaiting from the [Chaos] faction, but in return, you were heavily injured and lost a majority of your strength?”

“You can say that. I did indeed kill someone from the [Chaos] faction very recently—— that guy arranged an extremely long scheme through many ages, almost managing to deceive us all and completely destroy [Order]” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.

Red Wraith glanced at the talisman hidden inside his sleeves.

It showed no reaction.

Every word he said was true.

How is that possible!

And yet it was still the truth!

Red Wraith appeared a bit more respectful and asked: “Then your true identity is——”

“No one would be able to investigate my true identity; because our war against [Chaos] had yet to be over. As an entity hidden in the shadows, I carry many things on my shoulders, my identity naturally cannot be revealed” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Red Wraith slowly calmed down as his expression became relaxed.

The talisman hidden in his other sleeve had just burnt away completely.

——the talisman was destroyed by an overwhelming force, unable to investigate the other party’s identity.

“…No wonder you were able to discard the [Chaos] Serpentes King’s friendship without even changing your expression”

“No wonder you were able to steal the Reincarnation Spirit Devouring Sand from our Wraith realm”

Red Wraith mumbled in a low voice.

Naturally, I can’t completely trust this ‘Rhode’ either, he could easily be another overwhelmingly powerful entity.

——–wielding a Dreamscape Soul Artifact would surely draw the attention of the other Awaitings, the only way to obscure the senses of the other Awaitings from the [Chaos] faction is by treating that bow with a unique method.

The only entities capable of doing this are an especially powerful Awaiting, or an entity even more powerful than an Awaiting.

Regardless of who he was, Red Wraith no longer felt necessary to find out.

This is truly a member of the [Order] faction.

—–no wonder he was so tough to deal with!

Seeing his expression, Gu Qing Shan understood that he had finished laying the foundations.

Just as he was about to say something else, a scorching sensation was felt from his wrist.

Instantly, everything in the desert faded away.

Countless stars descended from above.

Gu Qing Shan quickly released his inner sight to coil around his left wrist.

Once again, the indigo pattern on his wrist had manifested into a burning Divine Script.

The sea of stars circled around Gu Qing Shan, speaking in a tone of numerous delighted voices:

「 You have brought this world a completely new life! 」

「 The [Chaos] Serpentes King has been sealed away, the new world shall begin quickly developing and evolving, as well as synchronizing its flow of time with your parallel world 」

「 From now on, the Saint Spirit world would become a world within your space vortex 」

「 ——-You shall receive our gift! 」

「 But before that, as the new world will enter completely isolation in order to evolve, you must make the following choice: 」

「 You may remain within the isolated Saint Spirit world until evolution is complete 」

「 Or, you may return to your original world with your companions, when the Saint Spirit world’s evolution is complete, we shall invite you here again 」

「 In 5 minutes, the Saint Spirit world shall enter completely isolation 」

「 You must make your decision within 5 minutes! 」

Gu Qing Shan felt heavy.

He originally wanted to use the Awaitings to deceive Red Wraith and clearly discern what happened in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts——-

But now, there’s no time for that.

“May I ask if I can choose the companions I wish to take with me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 Naturally, but you must receive their consent beforehand 」the world spirit replied to Gu Qing Shan with its voice manifested from thousands of voices.

“Very well, I’ve decided”

Gu Qing Shan turned to Red Wraith.

“I’ll be leaving now” he curtly said.

“Where are you going?” Red Wraith asked.

Gu Qing Shan grinned, then replied: “I’ve dealt with the Plague Apocalypse and borrowed your power to seal the [Chaos] Serpentes King, why should I remain here?”

Red Wraith couldn’t help but said: “But the [Chaos] Serpentes King is still alive”

Gu Qing Shan coldly responded: “Once I’ve regained a bit of strength, I’ll call upon our Awaitings and eliminate it”

Red Wraith paused, then wisely stayed silent.

—–this is the eternal war between the faction of [Chaos] and [Order], it’s best that I don’t get involved with either of these insane extremists.

Gu Qing Shan continued:

“This world is currently undergoing rejuvenation, so it will isolate itself for the next while. Just stay here and rest for the next while, we’ll meet again if fate allows it”

Just as he said that, the ground, the sky, the boundless desert, as well as the world beyond the horizon, everything began to tremble.

——the world was about to evolve!

Red Wraith was naturally able to sense the true situation from this change.

His expression immediately changed.

——-the other party hadn’t said a word of lie up to now.

“Wait!” he called out.

Gu Qing Shan curiously looked at him and signaled for him to continue.

Red Wraith said: “Can you take me out of this world with you?”

“You want to leave?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“That’s right. All of my subordinates had been killed by the [Chaos] Serpentes King, our mission here has failed. I must first return to our world” Red Wraith replied.

“I guess it doesn’t hurt to take you with me… but aren’t you worried that I’ll harm you?” Gu Qing Shan smiled.

“There is a vow of heaven and earth between us, neither can attack the other” Red Wraith replied.

“Very well, then prepare yourself” Gu Qing Shan said.

He casually waved his hand.

Both Crow and the duck plushie instantly appeared.

“Let us go” Gu Qing Shan declared.

A vast consciousness descended from above.

Everyone heard tens of thousands of whispering voices by their ears.

“Everyone accept, or I won’t be able to take you with me”

The other three were all moved.

It turns out he was directly communicating with the world spirit in order to be brought outside.

What kind of power is this!?

Red Wraith carefully examined it, discovered that this was truly the world spirit and that it was only using a teleportation technique, so he was assured.

“You… could actually communicate with the world spirit itself. Now I understand why the Awaitings of the [Order] faction had chosen you” Red Wraith commented.

“Let’s not talk about that, we’re leaving” Gu Qing Shan said.

A flash of light flickered and enveloped the four of them.

They disappeared from the Saint Spirit world.

…

Within the space vortex.

Four figures appeared.

Gu Qing Shan, Red Wraith, Crow, and Yu Juan.

Red Wraith took out a communication talisman and was about to say something, but then noticed a certain fact.

He found that his heavenly being’s corpse, as well as himself, were slowly scattering into dust.

Red Wraith was extremely confused and turned to Gu Qing Shan: “How did you do this?”

“You’re talking about violating the vow to heaven and earth? No, I haven’t done anything against you at all, not even now” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Red Wraith’s figure then thoroughly scattered into dust and disappeared into the darkness of the void.

His final words were: “I don’t…”

Before he could finish, his existence had already been completely erased.

Red Wraith was completely gone.

“You were simply unlucky” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

“Strange, why did that wraith suddenly disappear?” Crow cautiously asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied:

“He’s dead”

“Dead? But why? He seemed quite powerful” Yu Juan commented.

“Because the Saint Spirit world has already become a part of our space vortex, thus becoming a part of our parallel world” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“What does that have to do with anything?” Crow couldn’t understand.

Gu Qing Shan answered full of regrets: “The Saint Spirit world is no longer part of another parallel world, so only one version of the living being that it brought with it could exist within this reality at this very moment in the timeline”

“Then, you mean that wraith was erased by the Three Great Laws of Reality?” Yu Juan asked.

“That’s exactly the case” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He turned to the War supreme-ruler UI.

[True Luck] had only just ended.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the UI:

[You’ve successfully saved the Saint Spirit world and obtained the world spirit’s gift!]

[Please take a moment of your free time to examine the treasures you’ve received]
