Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Gu Qing Shan and Laura both held their breaths.

It wasn't until several minutes later that they finally regained their bearings.

This secret was too shocking.

"I've never heard of such a thing before" Laura sighed and commented in disbelief.

"Laura, even you who had collected countless treasures and secrets, didn't know about this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"I only know that each of the Four Pillar Gods have a unique Soul Artifact that belongs to them, but who would dare to covet the treasures of the Four Pillar Gods? I've never thought about it, nor did I expect that these Soul Artifacts would be related to a secret hidden to everyone" Laura replied.

------just this secret's existence alone is already a shocking secret that normal people wouldn't even be qualified to know about.

No wonder that even after Su Xue Er had traveled to the origin of time, she still couldn't collect all four artifacts and only managed to procure one of them.

With this in mind, Gu Qing Shan said: "Since Su Xue Er had managed to do so much, just leave the rest to me"

"Hm!"

Laura also clenched her tiny fists and encouraged him: "Gu Qing Shan, I'll help you as well!"

Gu Qing Shan nodded, then turned to the Book of the Sea: "If I remember correctly, the other two remaining Soul Artifacts should be the Key of the Wind and the Pendant of Fire, where are they?"

A few lines of text appeared on the Book of the Sea: [This initial information has been already delivered, from this point onwards, you will need to pay a fee in order to use the book]

Gu Qing Shan and Laura were both surprised.

"Huh? You take fees?" Laura curiously asked.

Gu Qing Shan asked in more detail: "Why didn't you take a fee earlier but you're asking for a fee now?"

The text on the Book of the Sea disappeared, replaced by a different explanation:

[The previous information had already been paid for by the previous Death God; if you wish to obtain new knowledge, information, or news, you must pay the relevant fees again]

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "Look, I'm the Earth God, and you're the Soul Artifact of the Water God, considering how close we are------"

The Book of the Sea immediately answered him: [This book can only be used after paying a fee, this is a rule that cannot be violated------ unless they are the Water God]

A moment of silence.

"…So only the Water God can use you for free?" Laura asked out of interest.

[No, the Water God enjoys a 5% discount] the Book of the Sea answered.

Another moment of silence.

Gu Qing Shan struggled to speak: "What a shocking discount indeed"

The Book of the Sea continued: [Different knowledge can be acquired by paying the corresponding amount, what would you like to know about?]

Gu Qing Shan said: "I want to know the method to find the Key of the Wind and the Pendant of Fire"

[These are two different pieces of information, their prices must be paid separately] the Book of the Sea told him.

"Then------ just tell me one of them first" Gu Qing Shan replied.

[Information of the Pendant of Fire is astronomical, while you've already come into contact with the Key of the Wind, so I suggest that you learn of the Key of the Wind first] the Book of the Sea suggested.

Gu Qing Shan thought about it.

Next to him, Laura scoffed: "Isn't it just money? Hurry and state your price"

Gu Qing Shan also nodded: "Please give me a price, I want to know the whereabouts of the Key of the Wind"

The Book of the Sea answered: [Thank you, the price of this information is: 70% of your current wealth]

Deathly silence.

"You're a fraud! Who the hell states prices like that!" Laura exclaimed.

[My apologies, but compared to wealth, knowledge is priceless----- you're actually getting a bargain] the Book of the Sea said with a self-righteous tone.

"Then wait here while I donate my money to other people first, I'll ask you questions after that!" Laura said.

[The book can detect all of the hidden wealth that you possess, so that won't be of any use] the Book of the Sea answered.

"…" Laura.

"…" Gu Qing Shan.

It actually gave a price based on a percentage of total wealth, that's completely heartless and exorbitant.

For some reason, Gu Qing Shan found this to be very familiar.

Suddenly, he noticed a tiny line of glowing text on the War God UI:
