Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

The dark tunnel was already behind him.

The exit was right ahead.

As Gu Qing Shan walked forward, he found himself standing in front of a cave entrance.

There was a graveyard right in front of him with gravestones located closely by one another.

He needed to walk through the graveyard and follow a small path before he could finally reach the actual palace array.

The sky was gloomy.

There wasn't a single soul here.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and continued heading through the graveyard.

While proceeding forward, he glanced at the numerous gravestones.

Only to see that the tombstones were engraved with strange and unfamiliar letters, none of which did he recognize.

-----like this, he wouldn't be able to know who or what was buried underneath these graves.

Very strangely, every time he looked towards one of the gravestones, the sound of knocking could be heard coming from beneath.

「 Summon me 」

A voice rang out from inside Gu Qing Shan's mind.

As his vision scanned across the numerous gravestones, the sound of knocking became increasingly more rapid:

「 Summon me 」

「 Summon me 」

「 Summon me 」

「 … 」

Chilling voices echoed in Gu Qing Shan's mind as if countless dead people were trying to climb out from under their graves.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

It seems these guys need living people to summon them in order to appear.

-----I'm not actually going to summon any of them, so what do I have to be afraid of?

Gu Qing Shan turned his vision away and quickly made his way through the graveyard.

Time slowly passed.

He quickly arrived at the center of the graveyard.

Here, there was a huge grave the size of a small mountain.

Gu Qing Shan originally didn't have any intentions of stopping, but he happened to see the text engraved on the tombstone.

-----it was engraved in human common language:

[Here lies the Samsara War General]

Gu Qing Shan stopped right away.

War General.

That Title sounds strangely similar to [War Shaman].

Wait a minute!

I only managed to inherit [Ethereal] after triumphing against the Samsara War Shaman in the Great Tomb.

So what's up with this Samsara War General?

Why is this tomb still here?

------the Samsara has clearly been reset already!

Numerous thoughts raced through Gu Qing Shan's mind.

He thought back to the snake monster that was trapped outside, the five-headed monster in the sky, as well as the wrecked wrought iron giant-----

It was a [Human realm creation]!

Everything had started to piece together to form a great mystery.

This mystery was so crucial that the Samsara had to utilize this place as a trial for Chosen Saints.

What exactly… had happened…

Gu Qing Shan had practically forgotten where he was, falling deep into his thoughts.

[Summon me]

Suddenly, a voice coldly called out in Gu Qing Shan's mind.

Gu Qing Shan became hesitant.

On one hand, he really wanted to know the secrets involved here; but on the other hand, he also understood the eeriness of the situation.

After a moment of hesitation.

Gu Qing Shan put up his hands and bowed towards the mountain-like tomb.

"Hi, my name is Gu Qing Shan"

The sound of knocking could then be heard coming from inside the tomb, causing the ground below to also tremble.

[Gu Qing Shan, hurry and summon me, then I will fulfill all of your desires]

The cold voice said.

"Ah, I don't mind doing that at all, but I want to ask you one thing first" Gu Qing Shan replied.

All the engraved words on the tomb disappeared, but new words began to appear.

[Samsara Contract]

[The Samsara War General will answer Gu Qing Shan's question, Gu Qing Shan will summon the Samsara War General into the present]

[Violators will have their bodies and souls destroyed]

After Gu Qing Shan skimmed through the new engravings, the cold voice spoke: [Seal the contract with your fingerprints then I will answer your inquiry]

"Alright"

Gu Qing Shan happily pressed his finger on the tombstone.

The cold voice spoke: [Very well, you may make your inquiry]

"After the Samsara resets, all the Chosen Saints had their powers sealed away and are currently settling the chaos of the Five Elements, so why are there still tombs that entrap existences like yourself?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

The cold voice answered: [During the Samsara's re-fusion, the Great Tomb within the Beast King realm contained an uncountable number of unrivaled Apocalypses. As the Samsara could not immediately get rid of them all, it could only temporarily quarantine them inside various Phase Realms]

Gu Qing Shan immediately recalled the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.

Indeed, when the shattered Delimitation Divine Sword was stolen by the Wraith realm, the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts as well as the Space Vortex itself was under the threat of destruction by the countless Apocalypses.

At the time, I had to summon help from numerous parallel worlds in order to temporarily suppress the Great Tomb.

I didn't consider that the Samsara fusing together would completely release all the Apocalypses inside the Great Tomb!

Who would be able to resolve that!?

[Very well, hurry up and release me, otherwise you will suffer the torture of having your soul burned away by the Samsara Contract] the cold voice spoke.

"Wait a minute, I was asking you why you were being trapped here" Gu Qing Shan said again.

The cold voice paused, then answered with impatience: [After such a long time, I've already become one with the Apocalypse, the Samsara couldn't risk releasing me!]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "So that was the reason"

He suddenly felt an imminent sense of danger.

The contract on the tombstone began to glow intensely like it was ready to trigger at any moment.
