Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

"Let us spar, if I win, don't mention another word about marriage, but we will be fighting by one another's side from now on, what do you say?" Gu Qing Shan suggested.

「 Hmph, very well, we Beast Kings are the most adept when it comes to our instincts, let us judge how you actually are as a person through this battle 」a Beast King replied.

"Who's going to fight me?" Gu Qing Shan grinned and asked.

「 Of course we'd all be fighting you, one of us against you at a time 」the Beast King solemnly replied.

"That doesn't seem fair" Gu Qing Shan commented.

「 To us Beast Kings, it's always been appropriate to use anything and everything in battle, there is no such thing as fairness! 」

The Beast Kings all responded.

"Alright then" Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Everyone then stepped out to make room for a battle.

Standing in the very middle of the battleground, Gu Qing Shan donned his armor and picked up his blade.

"Who's first?" he asked.

A muscular Beast King that was about four meters tall stepped forward to face Gu Qing Shan.

「 Me 」he breathed out through his nose and answered with a healthy voice.

"Very well" Gu Qing Shan brandished his blade and prepared himself.

The Beast King had also readied himself and uttered a resounding battle cry to initiate the battle.

Suddenly------

Gu Qing Shan's heart jumped.

He just felt some sort of unusual commotion.

Everyone else noticed that as well.

Xie Dao Ling was originally sitting on the sideline to watch, but suddenly stood up and said with a solemn tone: "Such power… who exactly is it, their powers haven't been sealed!"

Boom!

An intense crashing sound was heard from the roof of the Green Building.

Seemingly recognizing something, Gu Qing Shan called out: "They're an ally! Don't attack!"

A single figure landed on the ground.

It was Ye Ru XI.

Her body was riddled with wounds, her military uniform was torn in several places, and she landed on one knee.

Gu Qing Shan quickly came forward to help her up.

Ye Ru Xi told him with a casual expression: "I could have stalled for a bit longer, but I think my time is almost up"

Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.

-------that's right, [Moon Invitation] can only summon one slumbering person at a time, and only for 24 hours straight.

It's been almost 24 hours already.

Ye Ru Xi will soon return to the Sequence and fall back into slumber!

"How are things on the Heavenly Emperor's side?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

Ye Ru Xi replied: "He managed to defeat the Apocalypse with his army of heavenly beings, but because of me as well as the Apocalypse, his Immortal City suffered quite a bit of damage"

"However, I could also sense his fury, I suspect that he will be coming to capture you no matter the cost"

"I suspected as much as well" Gu Qing Shan replied.

Ye Ru Xi quickly continued: "I can still hold them off for five minutes----- the final five minutes"

"I understand, it'll be my turn after five minutes!" Gu Qing Shan said with a heavy tone.

Ye Ru Xi gave him a look of worry that suggested she was unconvinced.

"It's ok, he's been after my life since a while ago, of course, I've already made the preparations" Gu Qing Shan assured her.

"-----That's good to hear, then I'll do my best to stop him for a little bit longer"

Ye Ru Xi nodded and pressed her hand on the ground.

A bottomless hole was suddenly created.

Ye Ru Xi jumped down and quickly vanished.

------the Heavenly Emperor was coming to capture him!

Xie Dao Ling stood up and asked: "Do you need me to take you and run?"

She was the current wielder of the Wind Saint Pillar Soul Artifact, the Key of the Wind.

"No, now that he's no longer caught up by anything, he would definitely continue his pursuit until I'm caught, but I can't keep running away"

After saying that, Gu Qing Shan told the members of the Beast King realm: "There's an emergency, give me a few moments?"

He turned around and began to tally up the collected stones as listed on the large wooden board.

-----they'd collected a total of 990 Merit Stones.

"Who else has Merit Stones to turn in? We're about to determine the top three!" he loudly declared.

The void of space shifted.

A shadowy devil emerged from between Gu Qing Shan and the Beast Kings.

It was the same evil creature who turned in the very first Merit Stone.

The shadowy devil tossed a small bag to Gu Qing Shan and said: 「 I heard that everyone is still trying to dig for more stones----- I've gathered the remaining Merit Stones we currently have to hand them in all at once 」

A few more evil creatures also came out after it, hastily handing their Merit Stones to Gu Qing Shan.

"Well done, everybody!"

Gu Qing Shan received all the Merit Stones without hesitation.

Instantly, lines of bloody red text appeared in front of his eyes:

[You've collected a total of 1003 Merit Stones, the second Chosen Saint to have collected over 1000 Merit Stones]

[The Samsara has bestowed you the qualifications to establish an Immortal City on the underside of the Human realm]

[Three, two, one!]

[------You will enter a protected Phase Realm]

His surroundings suddenly became void.

There was nothing but strong winds that continuously blew.

While Gu Qing Shan was standing absolutely still, he could feel himself traveling forward at extreme speeds.

This was a particularly miraculous experience.

At the very next instant.

He appeared in a vast barren wasteland.

-------the underside of the Human realm!

It was currently nighttime.

A wondrous sensation danced around the atmosphere as it circled around him, which finally manifested into a mass of heavenly light under his feet.

[Attention, the Samsara is currently resonating with your spirit to facilitate communication, it will manifest a city in accordance with your spirit to fight the Apocalypse!]

Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of realization.

The will of the Samsara was urging him----- telling him to quickly provide specifications for the construction of the Immortal City.

"What kind of city do I want to construct…"

Gu Qing Shan scowled in thought.

The Samsara established the Immortal Cities because it can no longer suppress the Apocalypses, so it wanted to use the power of the Chosen Saints to fight them.

The Heavenly Emperor created an Immortal City that floats in the sky.

Then what about me?

…If I want to construct a city, I would want it to at least provide some basic means of survival.

The thoughts in Gu Qing Shan's minds became increasingly clearer.

As he began to make specific considerations, the heavenly light under his feet also began to expand in every direction.

Lines of bloody red text appeared:

[The Samsara is currently compiling the achievements of the Samsara's previous civilizations and gathering power to manifest the city in your mind!]

[This process will require an hour to complete]

Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.

He could sense that Ye Ru Xi had already left the current world.

Her five minutes were already up!

Damn it!

I didn't have enough information and didn't think that an Immortal City would require at least an hour to construct!

If that's the case------

He turned his attention towards the distant horizon.
