Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Gu Qing Shan remained still.

The other party was clearly pointing the spear at him as a form of warning.

If he made any extreme reactions, the other party would immediately activate the Samsara Divine Skill.

"Are you here to kill me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"That's right, it's because you killed the County Magistrate and so many others" the middle-aged man answered.

"Then why haven't you acted?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.

"Everyone's abilities have been sealed, but you managed to avoid my Divine Skill twice, that could only mean one thing, you------" the middle-aged man said.

"Indeed" Gu Qing Shan immediately followed up: "I've awakened my Samsara Divine Skill"

-----not

But if I don't follow up with him, the situation would only get more complicated.

Let's first relieve myself of danger and activate Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist at the same time!

The middle-aged man examined the Gloom Orchid in Gu Qing Shan's hand and felt like he understood something.

"I saw earlier how you can summon supporters out of thin air------ which realm does that Divine Skill belong to?" he tried asking.

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan immediately understood his intentions and answered: "Of course, it would be the Huang Quan realm. I'm a Deity of Huang Quan, it's impossible to mistake that"

"Huang Quan?" the middle-aged man cautiously observed him.

"That's right" Gu Qing Shan grinned and replied: "So you're pursuing me because I killed the County Magistrate? I actually killed him because I couldn't stand him hiding many secrets and even pledging himself to the Wraith realm"

The middle-aged man appeared surprised and muttered: "Pledging himself to the Wraith realm?"

"Of course, I wouldn't have personally acted for no reason to strip him of his Chosen Saint qualifications and banish him to Huang Quan" Gu Qing Shan casually waved the Gloom Orchid while speaking with a displeased expression.

The middle-aged man looked doubtfully at Gu Qing Shan.

------This man had just exposed a lot of information, I need some time to digest them all.

Gu Qing Shan didn't give him the time to think about that and continued: "The Wraith realm only has a single Chosen Saint, so he has received the full support of the Wraith realm's origin. During this excursion that I did following orders, I discovered that the County Magistrate had actually pledged himself to the Wraith realm and was helping the Wraith realm's Chosen Saint contact the Tianma"

"The Tianma had already met the Chosen Saint of the Wraith realm"

"To prevent the situation from escalating, I quickly decided to eliminate him, but it's a shame that the Wraith realm's Chosen Saint had fled again"

"I was pursuing him when I unexpectedly ran into you and was stopped here"

While explaining, Gu Qing Shan even scoffed with an irritated tone.

------the provided information was akin to dropping a bomb onto a breakfast plate.

Furthermore, at least 70% of the information was actually true.

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He stood still for a long while before finally speaking up again: "The Heavenly Palace had placed a bounty on the Wraith realm's Chosen Saint for quite a long time, how unexpected for him to show up at this desolate place"

The Heavenly Palace.

Gu Qing Shan silently parroted that word, then coldly snorted: "He was also quite smart, knowing that only a desolate barren place like this would be considered safe, so he came here to meet up with the Tianma"

The middle-aged man scowled: "The Tianma are indeed troublesome existences---- right, did you manage to discern the true name of the Tianma overlord?"

True name-----

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a short moment.

A lot of past memories rapidly flashed through his mind.

The Tianma hate the Samsara to their bones, so much so that they were willing to watch as the Apocalypse destroyed the Samsara.

They demanded that I make a pledge with the Tianma and promised to enter the Samsara Clash for Supremacy with them in order for them to help me.

It seems they've been able to keep themselves hidden very well.

-----does the Heavenly Palace not know of even Li An's name?

A name is a very mundane thing, so perhaps this person is trying to probe me?

If they really are just probing me, how should I answer?

On the other hand, if the Heavenly Palace really doesn't know Li An's name, how should I answer?

There is no perfect answer to this question, so if I wanted to arbitrarily gloss this over, it would only draw more suspicion.

----regardless, I can't reveal Li An's name.

If her true name does carry some sort of property that allows the Heavenly Palace to discern and pursue her, it would be very bad.

This entire discussion only took a split second in Gu Qing Shan's mind.

He answered: "Wait a moment, what status are you using to ask me that question?"

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, he coldly scoffed again: "This official is currently under orders from the Heavenly Palace for this secret mission, having the authority to exert my influence and mobilize numerous men, while you're here to pursue a wanted criminal, what right do you have to question this official?"

The middle-aged man became stunned.

------this time, it was his turn to make a choice.

If what he's saying isn't true, how should I respond?

On the other hand, if the other party really is a superior official who's on a secret mission, what right do I have to stop and question him?

This was also a question without a perfect answer that couldn't be arbitrarily glossed over.

The middle-aged man was deep in thought.

If the other party was an impersonator, then I would at most only be releasing a wanted criminal.

But if he really is a superior-------

The Chosen Saints of Huang Quan aren't just for show, if I offend him, I might not fare very well later on.

Who could guarantee that they would never die?

Especially during the Age of Apocalypse in the past and during the current reset of the Samsara, there was a not inconsiderable chance for anyone to go to Huang Quan.

If there was a Deity from Huang Quan who holds a grudge against you and waits for you to die…

That isn't going to be pleasant.
