Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1466

The four of them didn’t remain still for too long, they quickly chose a random direction and began their long trek.

The sky continued to remain dark.

Occasionally, some stars would glitter but quickly faded into the darkness again.

The wilderness was dark, cold, and timid.

Not a single bit of life force could be felt.

All the insects and animals had been killed within the Apocalypse.

——-from the Myriad Deities of the Pantheon, the Law Behemoths, to a fish or an ant; [Siming] did not let a single entity go.

A sense of unease enveloped the entire group.

Everyone slowly realized just how terrifying this Apocalypse was.

If this goes on, nature itself will collapse, yet no one could change it at all.

This was total extinction.

An irreversible calamity.

Six hours later.

Gu Qing Shan, Shroud, Reneedol, and Scarlet found a location away from the wind and made a campfire.

——-the continuous trek so far had left the young people exhausted.

If time was normal, it should currently be midnight, so they decided to take a rest for the night.

“How far is it until the nearest human settlement?” Shroud asked.

“Around 3730 miles, the Law Behemoths’ spatial barrier is still operating normally, so you wouldn’t be able to fly there” Reneedol replied.

“I wonder what the situation is like in that place and would there still be people willing to work for the Law Behemoths” Shroud worriedly said.

“That’s right, anything can happen in an Apocalypse, we need to ensure that we have enough strength to deal with any situations” Scarlet added.

“Rhode, do we still have food tonight?” Shroud asked.

“There’s no fish in the river, no wild animals on land, nor are there any wild berries around us—— I think before we reach a human settlement, we wouldn’t be able to find anything to eat” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He took out the rest of his alcohol, examined them, then gave each person a bottle.

“This alcohol isn’t too strong; it would be enough for us to replenish energy and strength. Rest up after drinking”

They opened the bottles at the same time.

Scarlet held the bottle, then blankly muttered: “This was alcohol that Epta left behind”

The campfire illuminated everyone’s figures.

None of them said a word.

Epta is dead, Atley is dead, even the Grand Elder is dead.

“Don’t feel too sorrowful, there’s no telling how much longer we’ll be able to survive either” Shroud said.

“Are you feeling discouraged?” Reneedol looked at him.

“No” the corner of Shroud’s lip curled up a bit into a smile and replied: “Perhaps our end will not be too different from Epta, so there is no need to be sorrowful. What we should be doing now is to live for Epta’s portion as well and continue to survive, then see for sure what’s at the end of our fates”

Gu Qing Shan raised his bottle: “If we can continue to live until the very end—–”

Shroud also raised his bottle: “Then we’ll get rid of this Apocalypse”

Clink!

The two bottles lightly knocked against one another.

They drank the entire thing in one gulp.

Reneedol glanced at them.

Scarlet couldn’t contain herself and asked: “From what you said, have the two of you found a way to deal with the Apocalypse?”

“Not at all”

Gu Qing Shan and Shroud both replied.

Scarlet was speechless.

“It’s not to remain too tense, it’s correct to relax both our bodies and mind a bit at a time like this” Reneedol nodded.

Scarlet also begins drinking from her bottle.

This alcohol was made from fermenting fruits, so it wasn’t too strong; in fact, it was essentially fruit juice that can be used to replenish some energy.

Ten minutes later, everyone finished their drinks.

“Let’s rest” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Everyone rest, I’ll keep watch” Reneedol said.

“Let me, you should rest as well” Shroud offered.

“No need, I’m going to use a spatial technique to keep watch over a radius of 10 miles around us, during this time, I’ll be able to rest as well” Reneedol replied.

She casually waved her hand.

An invisible fluctuation spread into the surroundings.

“That’s great” Gu Qing Shan praised.

Everyone began to rest.

The continuous journey so far had caused them all to be exhausted, so within a minute, Scarlet had fallen asleep.

Then Shroud also fell asleep.

Followed by Gu Qing Shan.

After a while, Reneedol stood up and looked at the three young people.

“They’re all asleep now…”

She muttered, then headed out of the camp and soon disappeared without a trace.

A few moments later.

A sword with an ancient design appeared from behind Gu Qing Shan.

The Earth sword questioned: 「 Has he actually fallen asleep? 」

Another intricate thin sword appeared from the void of space, answering: “That can’t be right, he had always been an extremely cautious person, give him a whack to wake him up”

This was Luo Bing Li.

「 Me? Whack him? No, I can’t do such a thing 」the Earth sword replied.

Another sword that gave off a faint glow appeared and began to happily dance around Gu Qing Shan.

The Earth sword said: 「 Chao Yin, make some water and pour it over him 」

The sword stopped and lightly waved in front of Gu Qing Shan.

A bit of water suddenly manifested in mid-air to pour all over Gu Qing Shan’s head.

Gu Qing Shan still didn’t reply at all, completely delirious.

Shroud and Scarlet were similarly sound asleep.

“Seems like he isn’t just sleeping”

Luo Bing Li pondered.

The Earth sword called out: 「 Shannu, stab him 」

An autumn-water like blue steel sword silently appeared and stopped over Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

“Don’t just tell me to stab him again and again, that would wound gongzi, I’ve learnt how to control my strength now” Shannu replied.

As she spoke, the sword lightly made a small cut over Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

[Law Breaker]!

Gu Qing Shan abruptly jumped.

He wiped the water from his face, looked at the four swords in front of him, then at the sleeping Shroud and Scarlet, instantly understanding his situation.

“Thank you, Shannu”

“It’s nothing, gongzi, how are you feeling?” Gu Qing Shan looked at the void of space.

A line of glowing text was hovering there:

[You’ve been afflicted by Soul Calming, this technique deals no damage, it will only force an individual to enter a state of deep sleep and recover their strength]

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

Reneedol’s means are varied and numerous, unpredictable and indiscernible, so why did she silently use [Soul Calming] in a place like this?

“Did you see where Reneedol went?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 No, she directly vanished 」the Earth sword replied.

“This Reneedol seems to have both Spatial and Mental type abilities, if she wanted to flee, you wouldn’t be able to locate her at all” Luo Bing Li analyzed.

“Hm, you’re right——- but the situation has changed now” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Has the situation changed?” Luo Bing Li doubtfully asked.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer and only raised his left hand.

“Where is my sister?”

He asked.

A black thread appeared on his hand and reached into the void of space towards the distant barren wilderness.

“Let’s go and see what kind of tricks she’s up to this time” Gu Qing Shan said.

He used both [Orange Sovereign Transformation] and [Ghostly Shadow of Night] at once, turning into an orange cat.

“Meow—–”

The orange cat softly called out, then began to rapidly head into the wilderness following the black thread.

Where wasn’t anything within this dark wilderness.

But the orange cat still cautiously maintained [Ghostly Shadow of Night] to ensure nothing would discover his existence.

A few minutes later, he still couldn’t see Reneedol within the wilderness.

The orange cat briefly hesitated.

I can’t waste time!

With that thought in mind, he instantly disappeared.

[Shadow Shift]!

[Shadow Shift]!

[Shadow Shift]!

—–this was a Divine Skill unaffected by any barriers or restrictions!

After continuously flashing through the wilderness, the orange cat eventually reached the edge of the wilderness.

There were seven to eight corpses in front of Reneedol, three of which were slowly standing up.

The orange cat slowly walked behind Reneedol and silently sat still.

“Where are Wind Deity and Water Deity?” one of the corpses asked.

“They both died within the Apocalypse, the Laws I granted to them had returned to my body, so I immediately resurrected you all” Reneedol replied.

“So that was the case, has ‘that event’ begun?” another corpse asked.

—–he can’t be called a corpse anymore at this point, as the blank and stiff expression was slowly becoming animated again.

This individual had truly been resurrected.

“I haven’t noticed any warnings, but I think it will mostly be tonight, so I summoned you all immediately” Reneedol replied.

“You did the right thing—— we risk being finished off by the Apocalypse and returned to the Realm of Life precisely for ‘this event’, if those guys died then they died, there can’t be any mistakes with this matter” the third person spoke with a solemn expression.

All of them nodded in agreement.

“How many more minutes? Foresight Deity?” Reneedol asked.

One of them answered: “In three minutes, something will make small gap in the Reality Gate—— very soon”

At that moment, including Reneedol, none of them said anything else.

The orange cat narrowed his eyes and sharply caught a certain emotion from their expressions.

——fear.

These Deities from the Pantheon are scared.

What are they afraid of?

If they were afraid, why would they brave the Apocalypse to return to the Realm of Life?

The orange cat had noticed something strange about this.

He no longer sat crouched behind Reneedol and instead silently retreated, taking distance from these people.
