Worlds’ Apocalypse Online
Chapter 2129 - War Begins
Deep beneath the earth.
Gu Qingshan touched out the Hand of Destruction and stuck it in the ground beside him.
"Should we kill those Chaos Spirits, or should we continue deeper and head to the 'Incredible Century'?" The Hand of Destruction asked.
"No, I've been fighting for too long and I'm already a bit tired." Gu Qingshan said.
"So you're going to take a break?" The Hand of Destruction asked.
"There are also some insights in the practice that need to be sorted out for a while." Gu Qingshan said.
"- Leave it to me."
The Hand of Destruction gestured no problem, then pointed around.
The narrow secret passageway rapidly widened, transforming into a palace of beauty.
Rows of dark sequence condensed guards then appeared, guarding the surrounding area.
"Such a big battle." Gu Qingshan laughed.
"Of course, in the Dark Continent, you are the king here." The Hand of Destruction.
Gu Qingshan nodded slightly and closed his eyes, as if he was in meditation.
The Boundary Setting Divine Sword floated behind him, quietly waiting for him to wake up again.
Everything fell silent.
......
The palace and the guards all disappeared.
Gu Qingshan opened his eyes, stood up, and looked around.
He saw one strange spire after another towering on the earth, each one etched with dense runes on its periphery.
Looking closely, those runes were constantly flowing, changing and reconstructing.
It was as if the runes were alive, endowing the spires with various special powers.
After looking at it for several breaths, Gu Qingshan uttered, "What kind of technique is this?"
"-It's the Time Dream."
A voice sounded from behind him.
Gu Qingshan turned his head to look, only to see the young girl standing not far away.
"Xie Frost Yan ...... are you the true Mother of Time?" He asked.
"Right." The young woman nodded.
"You've avoided me all this time, so why come to see me now?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"The Apostle of the Pillar of Fire has awakened - and he's starting to make his move." Xie Frosty Yan said.
"Who is the Apostle of Fire?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Your older brother." Xie Frosty Yan said.
Gu Qingshan shook his head and laughed, saying, "That senior brother of mine, it's no wonder ......"
Xie Frosty Yan said, "You became the King of Eternal Destruction, constantly collecting the power of Eternal Destruction in the Chaos, I came here to ask you to use your power to make me awaken as well, so I will be able to do more things."
Gu Qingshan contemplated, "I entropically dissolved the last King of Eternal Destruction, the Apostle of another Era, and the Doomsday Sequence: the Great Flood, and next I will gain more power until I gather all the power of Eternal Destruction - but I decided not to awaken your power yet. "
Xie Frosty was startled and asked, "Why? You should know that I'm on your side, and if you can awaken my power, the Original World will become very different."
Gu Qingshan, however, didn't answer, reaching out and pointing to a spire in the distance, asked, "What's that?"
"The Era I represent, it was once incomparably glorious, but it ended up in chaos, with only the last meager bit of power left." Xie Frosty Yan said.
"Since the Era behind you is so powerful ...... what exactly destroyed it?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"-It's a horrifying apocalypse you've never seen before, and it's more powerful than any other sequence in the chaos." Xie Frosty Yan said.
She waved her hand.
The clouds in the sky scattered, and an indecipherable whisper came from the depths of the firmament.
Along with this whisper, a spire began to fracture.
The runes on the surface of the minaret brightly faded, eventually plunging completely into nothingness.
Countless souls flew out from those overturned spires, struggling desperately but being blown by the wind, like a bubble floating in the wind, bursting open second by second.
"This is simply an irresistible apocalypse - you've been directly destroyed?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Our Era fought against it for over three hundred years, running out of power at the moment when it was finally about to win, and was replaced by another Era." Xie Frosty Yan.
Gu Qingshan said, "All epochs perish like this?"
"Not so, it's usually a head-to-head duel between eras, with the winner getting everything and the loser falling into a chaotic slumber." Xie Frosty Yan said.
Gu Qingshan didn't speak.
He raised his head, as if he was in constant contemplation.
Xie Frosty Yan waited for a moment and spoke, "If there's anything else you want to ask, I can tell you more instead."
Gu Qingshan spoke, "Exactly how many eras are like yours, attacked and dragged down by doomsday, and eventually had to fall into chaos?"
"Four." Xie Frosty.
"Four Saint Pillars?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Yes. In our era, we are all the strongest in the Era, and other eras simply cannot come." Xie Frosty Yan said.
"That's why the Doomsday has appeared." Gu Qingshan Dao.
"What are you trying to say?" Xie Frosty's eyes flickered.
"It's fine, I can only apologize to you that I can't awaken your power at the moment." Gu Qingshan Dao.
"It's just as well - the things you once did proved your talent, so it's redundant for me to come by borrowing Era's power." Xie Frosty Yan Dao.
"No, it's worth it for you to come, please help me bring a message to the other me." Gu Qingshan Dao.
"What?" Xie Frosty Yan asked.
"No matter what, don't crush the Two Realms Stone." Gu Qingshan Dao.
"The Two Realms Stone ...... If it shatters, the other you will disappear, directly merging into this era and reappearing with you as a person." Xie Frosty Yan Dao.
"Right." Gu Qingshan admitted.
"Are you asking him not to come back?"
"Bring the word for me, he'll understand everything."
"Good." Thank Frosty.
She withdrew a few steps backwards, ready to leave.
Everything was becoming bleak.
Gu Qingshan suddenly spoke out, "Wait a moment."
"Anything else?" Thank Frosty asked.
"If you come into contact with the other me, it's highly likely that you'll leak out and expose yourself - and you're an apostle of the Era, it would be very dangerous if you don't have the strength to face this situation." Gu Qingshan Dao.
Xie Frosty looked at him quietly.
He only saw him reach out and grab towards his back, grasping a certain blue battle flag all at once and chanting softly, "With one thousandth of my eternal power, I will summon the will of Chaos to free you from some of your bonds, causing you to escape from the aversion of all laws and gradually wake up from your infinite slumber."
"-Wake up!"
Along with his voice, a strange fluctuation was gradually added to Xie Frosty's body.
"You weren't going to awaken my power." She said.
"Yes. I left behind the majority of my power, and only used some of the Eternal Destruction Power to awaken the bare minimum for you." Gu Qingshan said.
"For my safety?" Thank you Frosty asked.
"Yes, you're summoning for me - from this moment on, you're my comrade in arms, and I have to contribute to your safety in a way that's not planned." Gu Qingshan Dao.
Xie Frost Yan smiled and said, "You're too cautious ...... but if this is the only way to defeat the evil ...... then I'm relieved."
Her figure gradually became dim.
Everything turned into nothingness.
Gu Qingshan opened his eyes and saw that he was still sitting within the palace, with the Boundary Setting Divine Sword and the Hand of Destruction guarding the left and right.
"Are you rested?" Settling the Sword of God asked.
"Soon."
After saying that, Gu Qingshan Xu got up, pulled out another battle flag from behind his back, and sang in a low voice.
"With all my eternal power, I summon the will of Chaos to unbind you a little, to free you from the aversion of all laws and to gain greater power from the slumber of infinity!"
Boom-.
The battle flag was fiercely lit with endless blazing red flames.
A line of small, glowing letters appeared in rapid succession.
"You gave all your power to communicate the Chaos and begin to awaken the Apostle of the 'Incredible Era' and he will awaken the corresponding miraculous power!"
Gu Qingshan looked at it for a moment and let go of the Battle Flag, allowing it to return behind his back again and fade away.
The Boundary Setting Divine Sword was taken aback and asked, "You gave it all to the Holy Pillar of Fire? What about the rest?"
Gu Qingshan said, "Right."
He picked up the Hand of Destruction.
The surrounding palaces and guards all disappeared, and a secret passage quietly appeared.
"Miracle ...... Are you only relying on miracles now, while you don't care about the power of the other three holy pillars?" Setting the Boundaries Excalibur asked.
"Settlement, this is the life-and-death game of all the eras, we don't have to follow a step-by-step-"
He thought about it and then said, "The evil demons will never press on either."
His words trailed off as he raced forward down the secret passage.
......
The Other Side.
Time closed loop.
The world of practice, somewhere in the sea.
A void moved.
A cultivator was seen gently landing on the sea surface.
"Young Master Qi ...... is the one who died in this world?" The monk said softly.
He pressed his hand to the surface of the sea and read rapidly.
"By the power of the doom of all realms, call upon the Lord of that future Era to grant me the power to crush this sinful world with me."
Boom-.
The ocean was pierced, and with it a huge, unrecoverable pit of depression appeared.
At the bottom of the sea pit, a black statue appeared.
The monk flew down and knelt before the statue and bowed, "Master of the sequence, this is that world, please lower your will as to what to do next."
The black statue felt silently for a few moments and emitted a voice.
"Gu Qingshan must not have expected us to kill straight away - in fact, we've never talked about the rules of war."
"Then ...... let's start and destroy this world."
