Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Cold.

Gu Qing Shan could feel himself floating.

-------at least, he initially felt like he was floating before gradually sinking underwater.

And he continued to sink.

Up until he reached a point so deep into the watery abyss that it never saw light.

There wasn't anything here.

Only endless suffocation and despair.

Am I going to die?

Gu Qing Shan silently felt surprised.

------if this really the case, then the one I summoned must have not been able to heal my injuries.

Qin Xiao Lou and Li An must have been affected by the blast earlier as well.

They probably died in that attack.

Otherwise, they would have definitely tried to save me.

------what a terrible situation.

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit sorrowful.

He waited for a few more moments.

Suffocating, freezing, despairing, silence.

Such feelings constantly plagued him for a long while.

Strange, if I'm dead, why am I still here? Shouldn't I be heading into Huang Quan?

If I'm not dead, then what am I doing here?

Gu Qing Shan felt surprised again.

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt that he could now move his eyes.

So he opened his eyes--------

Only to find a mass of stifled darkness inducing a bone-chilling coldness and profound emptiness.

Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth and tried shouting: "Is anyone here?"

No sound.

--------no sound escaped from his mouth at all.

This place seemed like a vacuum, but it also wasn't a vacuum.

His body was just floating there uncontrollably.

Suddenly.

From the distant darkness, a dim spark of light appeared.

That spark of light slowly headed towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan couldn't do anything except wait for the light to approach him.

And finally, it reached where he was.

A voice slowly spoke from within the dim light:

「 Gu Qing Shan, I need your help 」

Hearing the voice, Gu Qing Shan immediately recognized it.

------this was the Samsara Delimitation Divine Sword's voice.

"I can't even guarantee my own safety right now, so I'm not sure how I can help you" Gu Qing Shan wryly said.

The Divine Sword answered: 「 I need a power you possess 」

"A power I possess?" Gu Qing Shan asked with a confused tone.

「 That's right, you obtained the power of a certain Sequence through the power of the Earth God's coin, that power has now turned into a seed that remains with you 」the Divine Sword explained.

"And you want this Sequence's power?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 That's right, this Sequence's power is very strange, it can help speed up my recovery」the Divine Sword answered.

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and replied: "Alright, I have more than enough abilities already, so having one more or one less isn't an issue, take it"

「 Were you always such a generous person? 」the Divine Sword asked.

"I should be thanking you right now------- both of the fragments you gave me had been very useful and helped me out plenty" Gu Qing Shan sincerely answered.

This sword knows everything.

It has seen the Earth God's Coin, the Key of the Wind, and the Book of the Sea.

But it hasn't said anything about that yet.

It has even given me the powers of [Govern Spirit] and [Repel Evil].

If not for [Govern Spirit] and [Repel Evil], I wouldn't be able to avoid the Heavenly Emperor's Miracles, not to mention accomplish many of the things that I've done.

I really am curious about what kind of power it would possess in its complete form.

The dim light began to grow brighter as it fully enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

The light then became so intensely bright that it gradually dispelled the darkness around him as well.

Gu Qing Shan started to feel a sense of protection.

The sensation of death had been warded away, replaced by boundless warmth and vitality that made him forget all about the pain.

Gradually, a transparent image began to appear on his back.

It was an extremely long length of ominous tubing.

The tubing was motionless, seemingly remaining in stasis as it was still inactive.

The light then began to flow more intensely.

The ominous tubing also started to lift itself up and became integrated with the boundless light, then rapidly split off into numerous tubes that appeared to extend endlessly into the void of space.

However, the warmth within the light abruptly transformed into a scorching heat as it rushed toward the tubes.

All the tubes immediately vanished.

It wasn't until a long while later that the light gradually became calm again.

At this point, the Divine Sword finally spoke again:

「 How great, so it was that Sequence… I've temporarily regained some of my power 」

「 As thanks, I believe I will be able to answer some of your questions. What do you wish to know? 」

Gu Qing Shan asked: "Your sword hilt------ I remember it becoming lost within the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, how can we find it again?"
