Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

The horse carriage sped away at full speed.

While steering the horse carriage, Zhao Xiao Sheng called out towards the inside of the carriage:

"Benefactor Gu, now that you're dead, what's the next part of the plan?"

No answer came from the back of the carriage.

Zhao Xiao Sheng turned around, only to see that Gu Qing Shan's corpse was laying flat on the ground, completely motionless.

This time, Zhao Xiao Sheng started to panic.

The people of the village were making a mad dash, chasing after them.

The monster's movements were becoming increasingly faster as well, traversing several hundred meters with every step that it took, causing even the ground to tremble intensely.

Zhao Xiang Sheng called out: "Amitabha, benefactor Gu, if you don't wake up, I'd have to start reciting the Kṣitigarbha Sutra!"

"----No need"

Gu Qing Shan finally responded.

He spoke as he was gazing towards the void of space.

Some lines of notifications had popped up on the Supreme Sequence.

Gu Qing Shan's expression displayed his surprise.

He didn't think that the Sequence would suddenly request something at this particular moment.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up and came up to the edge of the carriage.

------from the looks of it, he was preparing to jump off the carriage again.

"WHAT!? So you're still being controlled!!!" Zhao Xiang Sheng was screaming.

"It's ok, all I need to do is die again. I just wanted to say that we're going in the right direction, just keep steering us towards that tombstone on top of the mountain, faster if you can…" Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.

Thud!

Gu Qing Shan fell back down on the ground and died again.

Zhao Xiang Sheng's mouth twitched a bit before he raised his whip and urged the horses again.

"Yah!"

The horse carriage sped up once again, making a mad dash forward.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly opened his eyes again and looked behind the carriage.

"They can't catch up" he judged.

"What will we do once we reach the tombstone? Will we be able to avoid that monster on the back?" Zhao Xiang Sheng asked.

Gu Qing Shan thought back: "When I had just met that monster, I formed a contract with it------ it had no choice but to inform me that the reason it was stuck here was that it had fused with an Apocalypse, and the Samsara would not release it"

As Gu Qing Shan explained, he once again stood up and prepared to jump off.

"Fused with an Apocalypse? Why does that matter?" Zhao Xiang Sheng asked.

Bam!

A heavy thud.

Gu Qing Shan fell back down to the ground, dead again.

While laying on the floor of the carriage, he opened his eyes and explained: "The Samsara Delimitation Divine Sword had lent its [Govern Spirit] power to me, so I've been continuously trying to discern its intentions, and now I've got it"

"What did you get?" Zhao Xiang Sheng asked.

No answer.

Gu Qing Shan stood up and hurriedly tried to grab onto the side of the carriage, only to drop dead once again.

After reviving, he continued: "A long time ago, the side of [Chaos] had come up with the solution to place reality itself into a state of complete death and destruction, this way, even if the Apocalypse arrives, it would have no target and wouldn't be able to exert its powers"

Zhao Xiang Sheng was surprised and asked: "So you're saying that only dead people would be able to escape from this Fear Apocalypse?"

"That's right, the connection between this Phase Realm and the main world is the tombstone, so all you need to do is lead me there and throw me onto the tombstone" Gu Qing Shan explained.

"Will that really work?" Zhao Xiang Sheng asked, a bit unsure.

"Because the Apocalypse cannot affect the dead, I would reappear in the main world----- which means escaping this place" Gu Qing Shan affirmed.

Zhao Xiang Sheng sighed and muttered: "Amitabha, I've never seen someone like yourself, using death itself as a tool"

Thud!

A familiar noise sounded from behind him.

Gu Qing Shan has just dropped dead again.

Zhao Xiang Sheng sighed: "Amitabha… but your rate of death really is a bit too frequent"

The horse carriage rapidly proceeded forward, leaving a trail of dust behind it.

Not too long later, they arrived in front of the hill-like tombstone.

Zhao Xiang Sheng abandoned the horse carriage and carried Gu Qing Shan's body up the tombstone.

Not too far behind them, the gigantic dark monster was accelerating in an attempt to catch up.

"Hoh… hoh… benefactor Gu, we've arrived"

Zhao Xiang Sheng put Gu Qing Shan's body on top of the tombstone as he breathed heavily through his mouth.

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.

He looked at Zhao Xiang Sheng and nodded: "I've troubled you, leave the rest to me"

As he spoke, he dispelled [Moon Invitation].

Zhao Xiang Sheng vanished right away.

Gu Qing Shan sat on top of the tombstone and silently watched as the monster came increasingly closer.

His head became limp and fell on top of the tombstone, dying once again.

In an instant, the scenery in front of him flashed.

The entire world was moving away from him.

At the very last moment, the monster stopped in place and was no longer giving chase.

A strange expression appeared on its ugly face.

And then the monster also suddenly disappeared.

…

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.

From on top of the tombstone, he sat up and started examining his surroundings.

A forest of tombstones.

Numerous knocking sounds emerged from all of the tombs.

「 Summon me 」

「 Summon me 」

「 Summon me 」

Voices filled with the desire to escape echoed from below the tombs.

That's right, this is the graveyard.

The main world.

I'm back!

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and stood up on top of the tombstone.
