Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Within the Boundless Void.

Ice continuously spread as it froze large sections of the void at once.

As far as the eye could see, the void had become completely dead.

Ever since the two Unfathomable Apocalypses had retreated, the ice had continued to spread without ending, up until this very moment-----

Bang!!!

A giant whose entire body was clad in frost broke through the ice and suddenly appeared in the void.

[Hoh… hoh… finally caught you…]

The giant opened his palm to reveal a grey eyeball inside.

The eyeball seemed to want to struggle, but after being caught by the giant, it was immediately covered by a layer of frost and was unable to move at all.

The giant then grabbed the eyeball with his fingers and pushed it directly into his eye socket.

The eyeball shifted around the socket a bit, uttered a curt shriek, before it quickly lost its vigor.

Immediately after that, a different type of vigor could be seen from the eye.

A flickering dark blue shiver started to manifest inside the giant's eyes.

[AARRRGH!]

The giant uttered a resounding howl.

Like a raging storm, a destructive presence started to spread in every direction from the giant's body.

--------he had finally regained his complete body.

All the ice within the void of space crumbled before it disappeared.

Everything had returned to normal.

The frozen giant looked around, then muttered to itself: [Now that I've regained my full strength----- should I head into the Dusty World to look for Gu Qing Shan, or to replace his Shifu at the Reality Gate?]

Suddenly, a female voice sounded from nearby:

[You can't do either of them, since I need your help here]

The frozen giant turned his gaze towards the void of space with a harrowing pressure from his eyes.

A stranger dares talk to me this way?

The frozen giant scoffed and asked: [---Who are you? Do you think you can command or order me around just because you know a bit of the Law of Time?]

The void slightly shifted.

A girl with silvery white hair emerged.

[Shroud, you might know me, I'm Su Xue Er] the girl told him.

The frozen corpse evaluated her, then retracted his pressure and smiled: [I do you know, you're Gu Qing Shan's-------]

He suddenly stopped.

-----an inexplicable sense of connection was being enlightened in his mind.

Since Shroud had completely become one with the frozen corpse, both his strength and perspective had surpassed himself in the past, allowing him to naturally discover certain things.

The frozen giant's expression became solemn and subconsciously muttered: [You--- you're----- that is------]

Su Xue Er smiled back at him and said: [The attributes of Time and Fate had always been very strong, haven't they?]

[Indeed] the frozen giant admitted.

[The Dusty World is about to depart, in other words, Gu Qing Shan will return very soon] Su Xue Er said.

[How do you know------] as soon as the frozen giant asked this, he realized the answer and sighed: [If you even had learnt about this, then the situation is truly dire]

[That's right. You and I cannot go anywhere, we need to complete the preparations before Gu Qing Shan returns] Su Xue Er told him.

[How are things on his side?] the frozen giant asked.

This time, it was Su Xue Er's turn to sigh and replied: [I'm not by his side, so how would I know about his situation?]

The frozen corpse remained silent briefly before suddenly saying: [Did you know? Everything you've done would only bring calamity to yourself]

[The Apocalypse is about to destroy everything already------ perhaps it'll be today, or perhaps it'll be tomorrow. What else do I have to care about at this point in time?] Su Xue Er shook her head.

The frozen corpse explained to her in a profound tone: [You will receive very severe punishments sooner or later. Even if you manage to escape from it, the only way for you to go is up. It will be the same as walking up an endless staircase, the higher you climb, the deeper the stairs ahead will become, there is no ending, only an infinitely winding path------ will you really not regret it?]

Su Xue Er looked towards the darkness of the void and muttered: [My every waking moment is spent thinking of him. As long as he is alive, my heart would still be alive; but if he dies, living is no different from being dead for me, so I have nothing to regret]

The frozen giant felt her emotions and seemed to have remembered something as he appeared visibly sorrowful.

[Alright, tell me what do you need me to do] the frozen giant said.

[We're heading to the Eternal Abyss and forge the accompanying components of the twin swords Heaven and Earth] Su Xue Er said.

[So you… already knew?] the frozen corpse appeared surprised.

[No, I'm simply making an assumption. With how much of history I've observed, being able to notice one thing or another is very normal, and I suspect that the situation has gotten extremely urgent----- only you and I would be able to complete this task, and we need to hurry up as well!] Su Xue Er said.

[…Alright] the frozen giant replied.

…

The Dusty World.

Gu Qing Shan was standing in the middle of a ruin, ignoring as the translucent mass of light disappeared.

The frozen corpse's secret had been fully revealed.

And now, the Key of the Wind that represents the Wind Pillar was in his hands.

"That can't be right…" Gu Qing Shan muttered.

"What do you mean 'can't be right', you've obtained three of the Four Saint Pillar Soul Artifacts, Gu Qing Shan!" Laura excitedly said.

"Compared to that, I'm more concerned about the secret just now" Gu Qing Shan replied.

Laura was stunned and couldn't help but question: "Secret? What secret?"

Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something and asked her in return: "Didn't you hear the words of the translucent light earlier?"

"What translucent light? How come I didn't see anything at all?" Laura asked.

Gu Qing Shan instantly understood.

No wonder the War God UI told me to listen carefully, so this secret can only be heard by the one who unlocks it.
