Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

1702 Gone

Gu Qing Shan appeared within the dark void.

"Where are we headed?" Laura asked.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the Key of the Wind in his hand and said: "We can't be running around like headless chickens. We need to wait until the Key of the Wind's spirit returns into the key before we can decide on what to do next"

-------who would have thought that the Reality Gate was actually hidden at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss and is being protected by an unknown demonic creature.

I still can't imagine the twin swords Heaven and Earth being able to deal with such a monster at all.

He suddenly thought of something and opened the Book of the Sea, asking it: "Do you know the demonic creature at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss?"

The Book of the Sea answered: [It doesn't belong to the void, nor has any living being ever seen it, so I don't know]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Didn't you say that you know all knowledge in existence?"

[Can something that no one has ever seen be considered known?] the Book of the Sea asked in return.

That's true, but-----

"But Shroud had definitely seen that demonic creature in the past, otherwise, how would he know about its existence?" Gu Qing Shan refuted.

[He had seen that demonic creature, but he isn't a living being, but an Apocalyptic being] the Book of the Sea answered.

Gu Qing Shan couldn't retort with anything to that.

At this point, the Key of the Wind in his hand suddenly jumped up by itself and gave off an ecstatic noise.

The Book of the Sea and golden coin also flew up and happily cheered.

The Key of the Wind circled twice around Gu Qing Shan and spoke in human language: "How unimaginable, someone had actually managed to collect three among the Four Saint Pillars, I suppose that you're going to look for the Soul Artifact that represents the Fire Saint Pillar after this?"

Gu Qing Shan nodded to greet it, then turned to the Book of the Sea and said: "Yeah, but before that, I want to make this issue clear"

The Book of the Sea honestly answered: [I've already told you, only after a living being or I have personally witnessed something would a corresponding knowledge come into existence]

Laura tilted her head and chimed in: "Gu Qing Shan, let's go take a look at that demonic creature right now"

"Do you mean------"

"Yeah, let's use [Infinite Worlds Shelter]----- this is the rarest ability of our Bramble race. Even the Judicial Lords of the Dusty World couldn't detect us at all, so I'm guessing that demonic creature wouldn't be able to sense us either"

"…It's worth a shot"

Gu Qing Shan said and grasped the Key of the Wind.

"I want to travel to the bottom of the Eternal Abyss------- no, there's no need to go directly to the bottom, it'll be enough if we can go near that place, can you take us there?" he asked.

The Key of the Wind answered: "Of course I can, I'm capable of taking you to any location, but each time you use me, you'll need to expend your lifespan"

"Lifespan?"

"Yes, these are the rules of the Wind Saint Pillar, it cannot be changed"

"How much will you need?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"After the frozen corpse and the eye left, the Eternal Abyss had become thoroughly tattered------ it isn't a particularly unique place, so all you need to do is expend one year of your lifespan and I will be able to take you there" the Key of the Wind said.

Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows relaxed.

For an entity at his level, one year of his lifespan was essentially nothing.

"Deal. Laura, put up your umbrella first!" Gu Qing Shan called out.

Laura immediately opened her flower umbrella and placed it over their heads.

"Are you ready?" the Key of the Wind asked.

"Ready" Gu Qing Shan and Laura both answered.

The Key of the Wind abruptly gave off a green flash of light that illuminated the dark void.

It then flew into the air and drew the shape of a door into the void.

"Push it open and you'll arrive at the vicinity of the Eternal Abyss---- before that, please carefully put me away, I don't want to be eaten by the demonic creature" the Key of the Wind told him.

"Hm"

Gu Qing Shan grabbed the Key of the Wind and carefully hid it on his person before opening the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the green light enveloped Gu Qing Shan and Laura.

The two of them then vanished without a trace.

…

The bottom of the Eternal Abyss.

Without a sound or warning, Gu Qing Shan and Laura had arrived.

In their visions, everything around them was a reddish kind of flesh that had undergone necrosis, all of which gave off a small bit of red light that illuminated that area in a bright red hue.

This flesh was no longer like they were in the past, it wasn't writhing or giving off any sort of thick poisonous fog.

Nor were there any Abyssal forms to be found around here.

-----other than the red flow of the flesh, there was no vitality to be seen at all.

The Key of the Wind's voice echoed within Gu Qing Shan's mind:

"Keep flying down from here, after a few minutes, you'll reach the bottom of the Eternal Abyss"

Gu Qing Shan looked down.

The dried-up red flesh had formed a large circle that reached endlessly down the darkness.

Laura silently stuck close to Gu Qing Shan and muttered: "This place gives off a really chilling impression.

Gu Qing Shan consoled her: "It's okay, the frozen corpse had already left, there should no longer be any danger here------- except that demonic creature"

"Let's go, I don't want to stay here for too long, it feels uncomfortable somehow" Laura said.

"Keep your umbrella steady, we're going to scout that location" Gu Qing Shan said.

"Hm" Laura replied.

The two of them jumped up and began to fly downwards.

Not too long after, even the last of the red glow had disappeared, allowing the darkness to completely swallow their figures.

Silent.

Quiet.

Hushed.

Stifling darkness.

This persisted until Gu Qing Shan and Laura gradually slowed down.

A gigantic figure had appeared within the profound darkness.

It was completely motionless, almost as if it was deep in slumber.
