Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

1745 Heavenly Decree - Initiate Tribulation

Gu Qing Shan was completely shocked.

"I am the inheritor of the Heaven realm's Dharma?" he asked.

『 Indeed 』the skeleton replied.

"But I… don't feel anything of the sort at all" he muttered.

『 That is because you can directly manifest the results of the Dharma, but don't possess its core------ there is a core of the Dharma that's stored within this shelter, you need to merge it with your [Lightning Wraith] technique in order to officially inherit the Heavenly Dharma 』the skeleton explained.

The countless transparent figures of heavenly beings standing in the void of space were looking at Gu Qing Shan with a sincere begging look in their eyes.

As if he was the very last bit of light within the world.

Gu Qing Shan replied: "I understand, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

The skeleton stood up from the flower and spoke: 『 Keep one last thing in mind: absolutely do not provoke the Heavenly Emperor right now, he had already gone too far------- much further than any Chosen Saint has ever managed to do. After you leave, it's best that you do not hold any wishful thinking and immediately flee together with the soul fragment of your Shifu 』

"Will I actually be able to escape?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 -------It will be difficult. A certain pendant had come into the Heavenly Emperor's possession, after which he managed to achieve countless unbelievable miracles, no one had been able to stop him ever since 』the skeleton replied.

Gu Qing Shan remained silent.

Indeed, the most powerful of the Four Saint Pillars, the Soul Artifact manifestation of the Fire Pillar------

The Pendant of Fire!

The power to create miracles.

"Miracles… what does that actually mean?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 You can think of it as the definite fulfilment of any wish------ if he wants to seal your Shifu again, he would surely be able to do it 』the skeleton then raised its voice: 『 If he wished to kill you, by borrowing the power of that pendant, he would surely be able to kill you as well! 』

『 That is an unbeatable power 』

『 Gu Qing Shan, there is no way to win against miracles, you must come up with other solutions! 』

As it spoke, flesh began to manifest from the skeleton until it ultimately became an extremely beautiful heavenly being.

She softly placed a finger in between Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows.

『 I shall bestow you with the core! 』

The woman shouted.

Fwoom--------

He felt a thunderous boom echoing in his ears, his entire body almost seemed to have been struck by a hammer as he became completely stunned.

An unnamed power appeared from deep within his Thought Sea, gradually transforming into a source of power that belonged to none other than himself.

This was an indescribably wondrous sensation.

Gu Qing Shan felt like he had simply formed a connection with a certain foundational law or rule of the Samsara.

Lines of bloody red text also started appearing in the void of space:

[You've gained the recognition from the core of the Heaven realm's Dharma]

[After a countdown of five, your Samsara Divine Skill will undergo a thorough evolution]

[5]

[4]

[3]

[2]

[1]

[Lightning Wraith has undergone a complete evolution]

[You've obtained Heavenly Decree - Initiate Tribulation]

[Heavenly Decree - Initiate Tribulation: You can command the various Heaven Tribulations faced by cultivators to fight against your enemies]

[Utilizing the Heavenly Decree will expend your Merit]

[Heavenly Decree - Initiate Tribulation is a Samsara Dharma, which is at the second stage of the Dharma, there are still seven more stages to evolve through]

[Please continue to do your best]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through and turned his gaze back to his surroundings.

But the world around him had already begun to fade away, including the numerous heavenly beings who were all turning into a dim light.

『 After one minute, the shelter will completely disappear and you will directly face the Heavenly Emperor----- remember well, do not risk your life, flee as fast as you can 』the heavenly being told him.

Gu Qing Shan said: "But what about you-----"

The heavenly being smiled gently and said: 『 There is no need to be sorrowful. After so many long years, we can finally enter Huang Quan and once again begin a new life 』

『 You, on the other hand, all of our hopes rest on your shoulders now, Gu Qing Shan 』

Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Please leave it to me"

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist towards the void of space all around him and silently stood still.

All the heavenly beings around smiled at him, then flew into the air and turned into sparkles of light one by one.

It was as if they were a sea of stars that shined upon the gloomy grey sky, gradually fading away like grains of sand.

Lines of bloody red text appeared again:

[One minute remaining]

[The shelter will collapse after one minute]

[After that, the Sequence will be unable to aid you in combat, only the combat synopsis function will be active, acting as a reference for your following battles]

Gu Qing Shan swiftly skimmed through it all and muttered: "That's quite enough"

He quickly began to ponder.

The Heavenly Emperor wields the power of miracles, while I wield the power of [True Luck].

Miracles mean the definite fulfillment of a wish.

While luck will result in the best possible outcome.

However, from a power perspective, a great deal of the Heavenly Emperor's strength had already been unsealed, while mine is still fully sealed.

On the other hand, in order to use the Pendant of Fire, the Heavenly Emperor had already paid a great price.

-----he had lost the power to fight against Apocalypses.

At least, during the long years leading up to this point, he had always lacked the power to stand up to Apocalypses.

He was in so much hurry to initiate the Samsara Clash for Supremacy for the sake of regaining total control over the Samsara, once again obtaining supreme power.

At which point, he would no longer need to fear Apocalypses.

No one would be a match for him anymore!

…But I wonder if he has actually managed to reach that point yet.

The bloody red screen in front of his vision was still continuously counting down:

[00:10]

[00:09]

[00:08]

[…]

It's time.

Gu Qing Shan's eyes became focused as endless Apocalyptic power began to emanate from his body.

The entire world in front of him became transparent.

The large vertical iris behind him began to move.
