Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

1585 Straight North

The orange cat laid on his back, exposing his round belly.

----too full.

He patted his stomach with his paws and couldn't help but sigh.

As a culinary expert, he had always been strict with his diet and paid close attention to his portions.

But this time, it wasn't that he didn't control his consumption, but that he had no choice but to eat this much.

With that in mind, the orange cat turned to the War God UI.

[Remaining Soul Points: 20,000]

These lines of glowing text appeared at a corner of the UI, always reassuring.

----finally, I have enough Soul Points.

The orange cat barely managed to flip himself over and pulled a statue out from his chest.

The colorful rooster statue.

I can finally wake it up.

The chicken shivered a bit and became animated again.

"Ah, youngster, have you thought about why you replenished Soul Points so slowly in your cat form?" the rooster asked.

"MEOW!" the orange cat quickly waved his paws.

The rooster grumbled: "What? The information you wanted to know wasn't this? How sly…"

The orange cat turned back into Gu Qing Shan and replied: "I replenished Soul Points so slowly because I didn't consume anything especially impressive------- so please tell me something else, preferably information related to my current situation"

After that, he put his hand on the rooster's feathers.

20,000 Soul Points were transferred.

The rooster raised its neck and loudly clucked.

It happily put its wings together in a heart shape and said with an extremely pleased tone: "Ahhhh------ that felt good! I finally have Soul Points again! I was worried that my shopping cart would------"

It suddenly stopped talking and cautiously looked at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan wasn't concerned about its jokes and said with a very serious expression: "Brother chicken, I'm currently looking for the frozen corpse's parts, now please tell me something useful"

The chicken's expression changed and suddenly replied with a solemn and official tone:

"Gu Qing Shan, to activate my power, you must provide me a corresponding amount of Soul Points, and this can only be used once per day"

"I'll say this clearly first-----------"

"I can faintly sense two pieces of crucial information, one of them was related to the Apocalypse's current movements, the other was related to the life of a certain individual------- someone that only you would be able to save"

"Now choose which information you wish to know, then I'll use my ability to learn the corresponding situation"

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "I can only obtain one of them?"

"Yes" the rooster replied.

"Please tell me about that individual's safety" Gu Qing Shan said.

The rooster seemed surprised: "Youngster, you normally kill people without any concern, so why are you suddenly concerned about someone's life?"

"Anyone's life is important. If I knew about it without saving them, I would feel regretful" Gu Qing Shan replied.

"But you've never once held back when you kill people, you can even be considered a merciless murderer, so what's going on there?" the rooster asked.

"There are some people that if I don't kill, I'd feel regret as well" Gu Qing Shan shrugged helplessly.

"If you want to save that person, then what about the Apocalypse?" the rooster asked again.

"I'll have to deal with the Apocalypse sooner or later, so I can just worry about it later" Gu Qing Shan replied.

The rooster looked closely at him.

It pulled out a sheet of paper and put it on the ground, then handed a piece of paper to Gu Qing Shan and asked:

"I knew that your style would fit my tastes. Come here and sign this waiver, I'll make a compromise to see if I can help you find out more"

Gu Qing Shan looked at the waiver and saw its content:

[Today, you owe the colorful rooster 20,000 Soul Points to be paid in instalments as follow:]

[A total of six instalments, one month between each payment]

[You must pay 10,000 Soul Points for each instalment]

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but retort: "Don't I only owe you only 20,000 Soul Points? Why do I have to pay 60,000 in total?"

The colorful rooster called out: "Old Gu, this chicken is risking its life to help you this time, think of it as overtime pay, won't you?"

60,000 Soul Points to be paid over six months------- that's not exactly an issue at all.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: "Is the situation really that serious?"

The colorful rooster faced his eyes head-on.

"Hmph, that was you two's own handiwork in Space-Time, you know. One of you was the River of Life's Lord of Radiance, while the other was the Death God who commanded the River of Death, but now look what had happened? The Lord of Radiance turned himself into a dog's head, while the Death God is traveling the void looking for a corpse with a dog's head on his shoulder------ do the two of you not understand what kind of existence the Twin Rivers of Life and Death are?" the colorful rooster complained.

Gu Qing Shan replied: "I know that it's a world system similar to the Samsara"

"Listen to yourself!" the rooster suddenly called out, "You already know that it's a crucial world system, so why aren't you quickly taking control over the dead in the River of Death? It'll already be too late------"

It suddenly stopped.

Gu Qing Shan silently listened without saying a word.

------the colorful rooster has never mentioned something like a waiver or payments in instalments, nor has it ever actively danced around the rules to give me several pieces of information in the same day.

But now, it was clearly eager to attempt this.

It was the embodiment of the War God System's intelligence function, capable of sensing things throughout the void after activation.

------in other words, it was clearly cautious or worried about something.

Just like…

How the lady of the Sacrificial Dance had urged me to quickly form my dance troupe.

It was as if something very urgent was rapidly approaching.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.

Up till now, I've never realized the importance of the Twin Rivers of Life and Death.

They were a world system comparable to the Samsara.

------ and it had never been broken!

Just how great would its powers be?

Gu Qing Shan's heart felt heavy, wondering why he had forgotten such an important detail.

After carefully thinking about it, I'm not actually under any sort of spell influence or had I actually forgotten this matter.

I just simply did not have the time.

Ever since I returned from the Age of Immemorial, I've saved Fei Yue, entered the Wraith realm, met Demon Dragon, cut down the Wraith Lords, and fought a Deathmatch against Reneedol.

Did I ever have a second to spare?

There was never any free time for me to investigate the Twin Rivers of Life and Death!

Fortunately, Su Xue Er had used an extremely skillful means to help me regain the power of the three coins.

Gu Qing Shan sighed, then asked again: "Rooster, what exactly did you realize?"

The rooster scoffed: "I still haven't begun to investigate anything, but I have a feeling-------- no, I can't tell you my feeling either, otherwise, it would be considered a piece of information, and I will fall into a state of slumber as soon as I finish"

Gu Qing Shan stopped asking.

He crouched down and signed his name on the waiver.

"Here" he handed the waiver back to the rooster.

"Hm, then I'll begin!"

The rooster called out, then stood on one leg and reached its neck upwards, observing the void with a solemn expression.

Gu Qing Shan didn't have the courage to bother it, so he could only silently wait.

The rooster looked around in every direction before it finally exited this state.

"Old Gu, I'll fall into slumber as soon as I finish telling you this, so listen carefully" the rooster said with a serious tone.

"Alright, I'm listening" Gu Qing Shan replied.

The rooster took a deep breath and spoke with an unprecedented tone:

"The signs within the flow of the River of Death are getting increasingly clearer. The Apocalypse had realized something and initiated their preparations hidden countless years ago in the void of space"

"A wave of destruction enough to wipe out the entire Space Vortex is coming…"

"Everything will begin within the Doomsday Necropolis. Head straight North, the girl who had sent you here sincerely wishes for you to save that individual----- if that individual survives, you will understand the origin of the secret"

The rooster tiredly nodded to Gu Qing Shan.

"I've informed you everything I can. In short, it's very dangerous, not only will you have to be careful, but you will also have to be fast, or that individual will die"

After saying that, it quickly turned back into a motionless statue.

Gu Qing Shan silently put the colorful rooster statue away.

He stood still, having fallen into deep thought.

-------straight North?

Who would be in that direction?

'The girl who sent you here' should be Su Xue Er.

There's no doubt about this.

Then, who does she hope for me to save?

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand in the void of space.

The isolation barrier was dispelled.

He quickly approached the mercenary corps' Heads.

"Boss, are we setting out now?" the Bottle Caster Hei Suo asked.
