Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 887

Chapter 887: Law Manifestations of The Four Saint Pillars

In the middle of the stormy night, a huge burning fire illuminated the sky.

Gu Qing Shan stood afar, silently watching the once-again destroyed Mech maintenance bay.

The Mech maintenance bay had been reverted to the state before it was destroyed, but it was once again going through this process.

After his journey to the Age of Old, Gu Qing Shan had become a Three Thousand Worlds realm great cultivator, even within the 900 million World Layers, he could be considered a Lord-class Combatant.

——-and furthermore, one of the strongest Lord-class Combatants.

With his current cultivation and understanding of power in general, it was a simple thing for him to summon Elemental Fire and replicate the same attack that destroyed this building.

As he stared at the burning fire, Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself: “There, I shouldn’t have to worry about their safety any longer, next…”

What should I do next?

According to Su Xue Er’s words, the countless Combatants of the Strife Zones are looking to capture me, and among them are those with excellent tracking capabilities…

Gu Qing Shan touched the Silent Dusk Cloak he was wearing.

This was an item that the strongest person of the Bygone Era gave me, which has the ability to isolate the power of the Demon Dragon’s blood infection.

Even the Earth Creator praised this cloak for how well it could conceal my aura.

With this cloak and the [Mystery of All Being Equal], the chances of me being captured isn’t that high.

Gu Qing Shan stood still and waited until the flame thoroughly died out to leave this place.

He returned to the desert and used [Ground Shrink] to enter the secret database bunker several thousand meters underground.

This bunker hadn’t been created for too long, so the Earth Creator had only just gotten an idea to put something here.

But obviously, it never managed to complete it.

However, since this place had decent ventilation, an ample amount of illumination, and enough daily necessities, as well as being as secretive as it was, Gu Qing Shan decided to return here to rest.

Even though the people of seven Holy Churches had already left this world, Gu Qing Shan kept in mind to maintain caution and care.

After a short rest, he took the Gold Coin out of his Inventory Bag.

From how sorrowfully the coin cried out when they arrived in this world, Gu Qing Shan already had an answer in his mind.

Normally, supernatural items like this Gold Coin would always have a mental connection with its master.

For example, if something happened to Gu Qing Shan, no matter how far Shannu and the Earth sword were, they would be immediately able to sense it.

Although he could already guess, he needed a confirmed answer in order to decide how to proceed.

Whether the Earth Creator was still alive, captured, or dead, each state represented a different thing, which would help Gu Qing Shan decide his next course of action.

“Why hasn’t your owner appeared?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Gold Coin vibrated on Gu Qing Shan’s hand and let out a series of ‘clink cling’ noises.

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit confused.

According to the Gold Coin, the Earth Creator had cut off its mental connection to it.

Normally, this connection would only be cut off through the owner’s death, or if the owner purposefully cut it off.

But the Gold Coin had also claimed that it didn’t sense the Earth Creator’s death.

Then, does that mean the earth Creator released his connection by his own will?

Gu Qing Shan recalled what happened at the time.

When the Earth Creator gave him the Coin, it appeared quite reluctant and even emphasized that he had to return the Coin to it after it returned.

Seems like even the Earth Creator considered this Coin to be quite precious. It was only because Gu Qing Shan had helped in preventing the three Abyssal monsters from obtaining the weapon of the Eternal Abyss, that it had bestowed the Coin to him for use once.

Which meant the Earth Creator wouldn’t arbitrarily give up on the Gold Coin.

If it wasn’t the first situation, but also not the second, then what’s going on?

Gu Qing Shan thought for a while and couldn’t help but sigh.

The Earth Creator is at a much higher level than I am that a Card it granted me as a gift easily caused the death of three Abyssal monsters.

I wouldn’t be able to understand the thoughts, plans, and actions of such an entity no matter how hard I tried.

Not to mention, before I left the Age of Old, I even heard it said that it wanted to take a look at the Abyssal Gate.

——I don’t even have the qualifications to investigate the Abyssal Gate right now.

So nothing can be made sense of right now.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the Gold Coin and continued to ask: “Do you have any other way to look for the truth?”

The Gold Coin hovered back and forth in the air a bit as if it was hesitating about something.

Finally, it circled around Gu Qing Shan and let out a series of metal noises again.

“What? Wait a minute, I don’t understand what you’re saying”

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said.

The Gold Coin patiently answered him with a long series of ‘clink’

Gu Qing Shan seriously listened and couldn’t help asking: “Can you really find the Earth Creator like this?”

Cling clink!

The Gold Coin confirmed.

“Alright then, I don’t lose anything by doing this, and I also want to know if the venerable one is alive or not. As long as you agree, I have nothing to object” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Hearing his confirmation, the Gold Coin didn’t wait for a single moment.

It let out a spark of golden light that came down from above and hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan pinched the golden light with his fingers and slowly dragged it across the sky, writing his name.

A few glowing lines of text appeared on the War supreme-ruler UI.

——blood-red text really stings the eye, this kind of soft glowing text is much better.

[You have formed a partnership covenant with the Gold Coin]

[The Gold Coin is a Law manifestation Soul Artifact of one of the Four Saint Pillars. According to the common Law of the Four Saint Pillars, when one of the Saint Pillars forms a covenant, the Law manifestation Soul Artifacts of the other three Saint Pillars will arrive to bear witness]

The glowing text vanished.

A few moments later, the secret bunker where Gu Qing Shan was also nowhere to be seen.

The world had turned into a borderless sea of stars.

Without knowing what happened, Gu Qing Shan had appeared with the Gold Coin in this place.

And then, three other items appeared.

An azure blue key.

A crimson red pendant.

A black book.

The Gold Coin flew up and began to communicate with the three items.

Cling clank clink clang

Shu shu shu shu

Pii pii paa paa

Shiu shiu shiu

They noisily spoke to one another.

Gu Qing Shan looked curiously at the other Law manifestation Soul Artifacts of the Four Saint Pillars.

The azure key was the Key of the Wind, representing the Wind Pillar, its power was to open all doors and arrive at any location.

The crimson pendant was the Pendant of Flame, representing the Fire Pillar, its power was to turn miracles and near-impossible events into reality.

The black book was the Book of the Sea, representing the Water Pillar, its power was to record all knowledge.

As for the Gold Coin, it obviously represented the Earth Pillar, its power being True Luck.

The four Law manifestation Soul Artifacts chatted briefly, circled around Gu Qing Shan once, then whispered to one another as if to judge him from top to bottom.

The Gold Coin was constantly giving off metallic clanging sounds, telling the other three Law Soul Artifacts about what happened.

A few moments later, the four Soul Artifacts floated to the air and began to give off four distinct gold, azure, crimson, black rays of light that combined as one, loudly resonating in the air.

The resonance then became louder and louder, quickly spreading all over the sea of stars and shook the countless worlds within it.

When Gu Qing Shan was almost unable to bear this resonance any longer, the sound suddenly vanished.

The sea of stars faded away.

Gu Qing Shan found himself sitting inside the secret bunker as if everything that happened just now was a dream.

Cling clink!

A tired noise sounded from mid-air.

The Gold Coin fell down right into Gu Qing Shan’s palm.

“How is it, did you find the venerable one?” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.

The Gold Coin let out a series of noises to answer him.

Gu Qing Shan solemnly listened.

——–when the four Saint Pillar Soul Artifacts appeared at once, they were able to locate any entity, regardless of who that entity was or the state they were in.

The Gold Coin suggested that Gu Qing Shan form a partnership covenant with it in order to summon the other three Law manifestation Soul Artifacts of the Saint Pillars.

They searched for Earth Creator at once and finally got a result.

Clang clang clang, clink cling cling clink

The Gold Coin told him with a puzzled voice.

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan also went silent.

“You’re saying that the venerable one wasn’t dead, but he isn’t in any location either?”

Cling clink

The Gold Coin confirmed it.

“…What kind of situation is this?” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

At this moment, he truly felt an unspeakable sense of eeriness.
