Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Omens

At this time, a flame talisman flew over.

The talisman carried an overwhelming presence.

This is the presence of a Saint, it cannot be imitated by anyone, used specifically for delegating high-ranked military orders.

Gu Qing Shan instantly became serious ———this talisman would have to mean that his role in the upcoming war has been decided.

Taking the talisman in hand, he infused it with spirit energy.

Xuanyuan Tianzun’s voice came: “You Ji General Gu Qing Shan, your order is to inspect the various camps and investigate the frontline military situation”

Camp inspection? Investigate military situation?

Gu Qing Shan fell silent and started thinking.

There’s a General specifically stationed at each camp, as well as numerous commanders and soldiers with the appropriate inspection staff under them.

As for investigating military situations, there’s a squad dedicated to just that and they’re already full of members.

It doesn’t seem like I have to do anything.

So what is this role of mine supposed to be?

While Gu Qing Shan was still confused about that, another flame talisman came flying to him.

Receiving it, he infused it with spirit energy again.

Bai Hua Fairy’s voice came from the flame talisman: “I didn’t mind you too much last time, but this time you need to mind yourself, just find somewhere safe and staying there is fine”

Gu Qing Shan’s fighting spirit instantly deflated.

He was speechless.

Shifu, you’re being overprotective.

Is it because you didn’t pay enough attention during the last campaign, which led to your disciples being pushed around that makes you feel responsible?

But this is covering for me too much!

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then muttered: “That’s not right”

It’s not that his role isn’t right, but this entire situation doesn’t seem right.

Bai Hua Fairy isn’t someone who would be this protective of her disciples just because they were humiliated just that little bit.

With her personality, she would actually encourage her disciples to go around experiencing even more to train themselves.

Then why?

Why does she feel the need to protect me this much?

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, another flame talisman came flying into his hand.

Looking down, it was another talisman from Bai Hua Fairy.

He took it, infused spirit energy and Bai Hua Fairy’s voice came from the talisman again.

“After thinking for a bit, I’ll just tell you a bit of the truth, otherwise you’d be running around in the dark and might actually lose your life without knowing why”

“The place called Shen Wu world, Xuanyuan, Sorrow and I have all went in there by ourselves to investigate it a bit clearer”

“Even now, the situation surrounding this world is very eerie”

“Both Sorrow and I have a bad feeling about this place”

“You know what, I’ll just tell you directly, come here for a bit”

Gu Qing Shan left his tent again.

Bai Hua Fairy’s words cast a shadow over his thoughts.

The center tent.

The other Saints were nowhere to be seen, only Bai Hua Fairy was there.

She was silently observing a floating vase.

Looking at it a bit closer, Gu Qing Shan noticed it was the Formless Tianma Saint King’s treasure.

At that time, if Bai Hua Fairy hadn’t used [Ground Shrink] to steal it, the battle might not have ended the way it did.

“Qing Shan” seeing him arrive, Bai Hua Fairy smiled and said: “Take a guess, what do you think this thing can do”

Gu Qing Shan wasn’t quite sure: “It can summon Tianma?”

“That’s not correct, its main use is actually to connect two worlds by opening a gate that connects to the Tianma’s world in another world” Bai Hua Fairy answered.

“Then, doesn’t that mean the Tianma can use this treasure to invade multiple worlds?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“It’s not that powerful, all it could do it make a one-way gate” Bai Hua Fairy shook her head regretfully, “this thing is basically useless to us”

She put the vase away and spoke: “Alright, let us speak about the problem of your post”

“Shifu, I really am willing to lead troops” Gu Qing Shan said in a low voice.

“Originally, I also intended to have you lead some troops, but after a bit of thinking, I decided against it”

“Why?”

Bai Hua Fairy calmly looked at him and answered: “I saw a few signs of myself dying, I’ve also confirmed them through a few Divinations”

“What! How would that be!?” Gu Qing Shan exclaimed, horrified.

Bai Hua Fairy is one of the strongest cultivators of humanity, yet she’s feeling the omen of death!

But being a person as powerful as she is, most of the time, unclear premonitions are common, and almost always accurate

“Out of us three Sainted realm cultivators, my spirit sense is the most powerful, so I’ve already recognized the danger”

“But I hid this from the other two, silently paid the price and made a few Divinations. I even used an ancient reading technique a few times, but the results have always been the same”

Gu Qing Shan was looking at Bai Hua Fairy in shock, unable to digest such a thing right now.

Bai Hua Fairy just looked at him: “Because of that, you should be extremely careful. When we arrive at Shen Wu world, it’s better that you just find somewhere safe to stroll around and run away if you meet anything abnormal”

“Your eldest brother is a Beast, Qin Xiao Lou still hasn’t truly awoken yet, and Xiuxiu is too young, if I’m no longer here, Bai Hua sect can only depend on you alone, so you have to protect yourself as much as possible”

She then took out a fragrance bag and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.

“Our sect’s entire inheritance and knowledge is here, the necessary resources like scriptures and pills for all four of you to cultivate and break through are also in there”

“If I’m no longer here, you have to keep the flame burning, you have to lead them and keep on living”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the fragrance bag to see it was woven from simple 7-colored strings, extremely unassuming and unremarkable.

“Shifu, you told me to run for my life if anything happens. Then why can’t you also run away and not go to Shen Wu world?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Bai Hua Fairy smiled and replied: “Under normal circumstances, it doesn’t matter how lazy or irresponsible I act, but there are certain times that I have no choice but to stand at the very front of it all”

“Why is that?”

“Because there are some things that if I run away from, you won’t be able to”

Those words sound a bit strange, but Gu Qing Shan completely understood them.

“You don’t have to worry about me, Heaven’s Will always leaves a chance of survival, I’m not exactly facing certain death here”

“Shifu also values her life, you know. I will fight for that single chance”

Saying so, Bai Hua Fairy made Gu Qing Shan refine the fragrance bag right in front of her before she was finally relieved.

“There’s one final secret, but don’t you go and spread it”

“Yes”

Bai Hua Fairy spoke: “That world has a problem”

“A problem?” Gu Qing Shan was a bit stunned.

“Yeah, it doesn’t seem to be under the demon’s control” Bai Hua Fairy was also a bit confused as she spoke, “even I have to fear the amount of demons that are there, but they’re all mostly non-sentient monsters. There are some that are very strong, but none of them are capable of controlling the masses of demons”

“Overall, it’s a very strange and eerie world that I’m still investigating”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan started to recall what he knows.

At the time he arrived at Shen Wu world for the first time, the very first thing he saw was a rain of fire.

The rain of fire was decimating the earth and was unbelievably powerful.

Luckily, the place that Gu Qing Shan teleported to was very far away from the rain of fire.

He was also in a rush to get out of the demon’s encirclement, so he only glanced at the magnificent scene without worrying about it too much.

Thinking back, it really was an unbelievable scene that he saw.

“I’ll remember it clearly” Gu Qing Shan spoke in a heavy tone of voice.

“Where’s your sword?” Bai Hua Fairy suddenly asked.

“It’s here”

Gu Qing Shan took out the Earth Sword, but didn’t really understand.

“Let me see it for a bit”

“Ah, yes”

If it was anyone else that tried to borrow Gu Qing Shan’s sword, he would’ve instantly tried to kill them.

But if Shifu wanted to see it, that’s a different story.

Bai Hua Fairy is the person he trusts most in this cultivation world.

Gu Qing Shan tossed the Earth Sword over.

Easily catching it, Bai Hua Fairy suddenly had an expression of nostalgia.

“It’s a pity that I was too stubborn at that time and couldn’t walk the path together with this sword” she sighed.
