Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1639

There isn’t only a single Gate!

Reading this scribbled line, Gu Qing Shan felt a shock unlike never before.

My parents wouldn’t leave me false intel.

In other words, there should be at least another Gate within this Space Vortex?

Right as I thought that all living beings were trapped inside the Reality Gate and would be destroyed by the Apocalypse.

——you’re telling me that there was actually another Reality Gate within this Space Vortex?

That truly is… turning my common sense over its head.

Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts were in disarray as he continued to think.

The Apocalyptic Divine Weapon was capable of summoning nine Apocalypses, combined with the Silent Light and End of Time Apocalypses, the situation had gotten to a point where there was no longer any room for reconciliation.

That’s why the Samsara death fakers had so hurriedly shown up.

And the reason why immediately after being woken up, the Awaitings proceeded to try and have [Order] grow enough to regain their powers.

Everyone had most likely arrived at the same conclusion.

There was no longer any room for wishful thinking.

Even Gu Qing Shan had recognized this.

—–but now.

Another solution had appeared.

This solution only consisted of a single short statement and the mold of a key, but it was like the light of dawn that lit up hope in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

While he was thinking, the three coins began to loudly vibrate.

They became stuck together and turned into a single piece of metal engraved with mystical runes that fell into the mold.

Ki—clak!

With a light noise, a portion of the key in the mold had taken shape.

——-the three coins turned into the handle of the key!

The other parts of the key were still missing.

Gu Qing Shan observed the mold again to see that various runes had appeared around it.

A few more lines of the dark golden text appeared in the void of space again:

[You’ve obtained a portion of the Traveler’s Key]

[A certain secret has been triggered]

Gu Qing Shan turned back to the key mold.

A crude, husky male voice sounded from the mold:

[Ehem… Gu Qing Shan, it’s me, your father]

[I don’t know if you’d be able to hear this, but regardless, I hope that you would not]

[If you hear this message, then the Space Vortex where you are in is about to be destroyed]

[However, since things had progressed to this point, I have no other choice but to teach you about the final solution]

[—-You must seize your time and search for worlds with the Jurisdiction attribute]

[The key mold is capable of manifesting, fusing, and forging the core of those worlds into a part of the Traveler’s Key]

[Once you’ve obtained the complete key, you’d be able to flee]

[—-Head to the Dusty World, that location is the gathering place of many worlds with the Jurisdiction attribute]

A female voice suddenly cut in:

[My son, I was able to see a world with an especially potent Jurisdiction attribute in your era]

[It is called the Samsara, a weapon-type Jurisdiction world, you must obtain it]

[—-But before that, head to the Dusty World!]

The voice suddenly turned gentle and filled with longing:

[Qing Shan, survive]

[Leave this Space Vortex and come to us]

[—–We’ll be waiting for you]

His mother’s voice slowly disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, as if he wanted time to stop at this very moment.

The key mold suddenly gave off an invisible fluctuation as it entered Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea.

A line of glowing text then appeared on the War supreme-ruler UI:

[Returning Technique, activating!]

In an instant, an immensely powerful force was exerted from behind Gu Qing Shan that yanked him out of the Saint Spirit world.

He flew rapidly across the void of space, accelerating as he did.

Boom!

Gu Qing Shan once again landed on the small planet.

Laura ran over and held his hand, asking: “Gu Qing Shan, are you ok?”

“I’m fine” Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes and smiled.

The skeleton finally tossed the cigarette aside and approached him.

“Esteemed lady” Gu Qing Shan greeted her again.

「 Hm, how truly worthy of lament, the two of you 」the skeleton spoke with a hoarse female voice.

“Us?” Gu Qing Shan and Laura looked at one another.

「 Indeed 」

The skeleton stroked Laura’s head and explained: 「 If you strive your best for your entire life and finally reached glorious achievements, you would naturally hope for your offspring to also live in peace, there is no fault with this——- all living beings would be more than willing to work hard for the sake of their descendants 」

“I agree, if I had a child, I would also wish for them to live a healthy and peaceful life” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The skeleton continued: 「 Unfortunately, the Bramble Birds’ ancestors left them with exceptionally powerful abilities, but did not teach their offspring well, leading to their descendants falling to this degree, having no strength to even protect themselves 」

Laura sighed and lowered her head dejectedly.

The skeleton wasn’t wrong at all.

Now and before, the Bramble Bird race had always been the wealthiest species within the Space Vortex.

But her parents were still assassinated.

—–she was already the last remaining member of their royal family.

The skeleton then turned to Gu Qing Shan: 「 Your parents are also different. Although I can’t tell exactly what they left you, I can tell just by looking at you right now—— you’ve been through numerous obstacles and despair by yourself to finally reach your position today 」

Gu Qing Shan was speechless for a short moment before asking: “Did you know my parents?”

「 No, I’ve only ever heard rumors of them, but they were all legends, it would be wrong to consider them the truth——- although I was acquainted with the ancestors of the Bramble Bird race—— we need to seize our time right now 」the skeleton answered.

With that statement, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t really question any further.

The skeleton then took off the two Twines of Cloud Atlas from their wrists and softly recited an incantation.

The purple lengths of rope instantly turned into two masses of light.

The skeleton grabbed one of the masses of light with its boney fingers and pushed it into Laura’s chest.

「 What remains of the Bramble Bird ancestor’s combat skills, hereby bestowed upon you once more 」

The skeleton handed the other mass of light to Gu Qing Shan and explained: 「 With this power of Occultism, I bestow you an Occultist identity. From now on, you will not need huge amounts of Prayers to perform the Sacrificial Dance anymore, on the contrary, you’d be able to use the Sacrificial Dance as much as you wish, helping it grow stronger with every complete performance 」

「 Furthermore, during the battle with the Time Apocalypse, I had sensed your swordsmanship advancing a step further. The Sacrificial Dance naturally has the ability to stimulate the growth of all other skills, so the time is just ripe for me to bestow you this status 」

As Gu Qing Shan listened to her, lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:

[Your Occultist identity is manifesting, please wait a moment]

[Additionally, thanks to your risky struggles earlier, your swordsmanship has reached a new level]

[You can now comprehend the Bygone Era human’s sword technique: ‘Enemy-killing sword technique’, would you like to proceed?]

Gu Qing Shan skimmed over and answered: “Wait a moment, let me finishing talking with the esteemed lady first”

A line of glowing text appeared on the War supreme-ruler UI: [Everything is ready, you may begin at any moment you wish]

Gu Qing Shan focused his attention to listen to the skeleton again.

She concluded: 「 ——-since you now have the Occultist identity, you can head into the Dusty World together with Laura 」

Gu Qing Shan’s expression remained unchanged and asked: “Esteemed lady, why do we need to head into the Dusty World?”

My parents told me that I needed to enter the Dusty World in order to collect Jurisdiction worlds.

But the esteemed lady doesn’t know that.

So why is she telling me and Laura to head into the Dusty World as well?

The skeleton then asked him in return: 「 Gu Qing Shan, without the Awaitings’ arrival, do you think you would have been able to defeat those Samsara death fakers? 」

“I couldn’t” Gu Qing Shan answered honestly.

「 Indeed, the difference in strength between you and those Samsara death fakers is too great, let alone the Grand Emperor of the Heaven realm, this is the truth 」the skeleton explained.

Her emotions seemed to fluctuate briefly before continuing: 「 If the Awaitings had fully exerted themselves, they could be considered Combatants of the same level to those Samsara death fakers, but there were too few Awaitings, and those death fakers were a dime a dozen. If they had truly fought, the Awaitings wouldn’t have been able to win 」

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “You mean…”

「 The Bramble Bird race has the greatest latent potential among all species within the Space Vortex, so I want her to head into the Dusty World—— while you, Gu Qing Shan, you need to improve yourself as fast as possible, then triumph in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy! 」

The skeleton’s eye sockets lit up with a dim light as it declared:

「 The Samsara is an exceptionally rare evolution-type Jurisdiction world. You need to completely grasp it in your hands for there to be a hope for us 」
