Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

All the Chosen Saints had chosen a city to belong to.

The Heavenly Emperor had already returned to his Heavenly Palace, so Gu Qing Shan quickly returned to Star Gazer city as well.

Everything was now ready.

A gust of wind suddenly manifested on the ground.

Shan Hai Qi Xia and the Chosen Saints of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts approached Gu Qing Shan.

"It's starting" Shan Hai Qi Xia commented.

"Indeed, I can already sense the seal around the great tomb undoing itself" Gu Qing Shan replied.

All the Chosen Saints residing within the two cities of Heavenly Palace and Star Gazer were looking outside.

Dooo----- fooo---- fooo--- foooo----

A gradual low growl could be heard from the gloomy river within the great tomb.

The flow of the river became even more intense, accompanied by fog that rose to cover the surface of the river.

The fog gradually ascended and slowly condensed in the air to form a shape-------

It was a skull with elongated cheeks.

Unlike humans, the skull's cheeks were truly so elongated that it seemed eerie.

As soon as the skull manifested itself in its entirety, the river seemed to have come back to life.

With the skull as the epicenter, numerous strange and unusual entities began appearing, all of which were hurriedly fleeing, trying to escape as far as possible from the elongated skull.

"It's that thing again!" Gu Qing Shan exclaimed.

『 You've seen it before? 』Li An asked in a hushed voice.

All the other Chosen Saints in Star Gazer city also turned toward Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan didn't try to hide the information and explained: "I ran into it once in the past. That is an Unfathomable Apocalypse, anything that enters within its vision will be permanently detached from the Laws of Time and Space, thus falling into eternal emptiness, where death is only the slightest hope for release"

Hearing his explanation, everyone silently shivered.

As the elongated skull slowly floated above the river, everything that crossed its vision was turned into nothingness.

Not a single thing could stop its gaze.

How would someone deal with such an Apocalypse?

Gu Qing Shan commented: "I've thought about it, and the only hope of staying alive is to not be seen by it------ that's why the entities within the river all ran away earlier"

While he was speaking, the elongated skull turned towards the two cities.

Following its gaze, nothingness began to appear along the river bank and the ground, rapidly approaching the two cities!

In an instant, the paper sheet in front of Gu Qing Shan suddenly gave off a bright colorful light.

A line of text appeared on top of the paper:

[The operation shall now begin]

The paper sheet suddenly flew into the air and released its radiant light to envelope the entire Star Gazer city.

On the other side, another paper sheet took flight and enveloped the Heavenly Palace in bright, colorful light.

--------the two cities with distinctly different styles stood firmly in the middle of the wilderness.

One of them appeared divine with numerous clouds and a heavenly aria surrounding it.

While the other was constructed from metal, jet-black in color emanating an indifferent coldness from its design.

The two cities were now a few hundred meters apart from one another, both of which were under the protection of the paper sheets.

As the elongated skull turned its vision towards the two cities, everything in its path was completely consumed.

But its gaze seemed to have been blocked out by the paper sheets, unable to harm the Chosen Saints residing within the two cities.

Gradually, the elongated skull seemed to have lost interest and turned its gaze away.

Everyone sighed in relief.

Under their watchful stares, the elongated skull finally floated past the two cities and continued along the flow of the river.

Someone suddenly called out: "My Merit is decreasing!"

「 Mine as well! 」

『 Why is mine decreasing as well!? 』

Everyone exclaimed in shock and confusion.

Gu Qing Shan realized something.

Could it be-------

He turned to the paper sheet, and sure enough saw the explanation written on it.

--------the two cities can prevent the invasion of the Apocalypses, but it will drain the Merits of its inhabitants.

Increasingly more people realized this and turned their attention to the paper sheet.

Soon, everyone understood what was going on.

The two cities could indeed stop the attacks of Apocalypses, but it would drain an average number of Merits from everyone in return.

Then, what would happen if someone's Merit was fully expended?

Quite a few people silently had the same thought.

"AEEK!!!"

A fearful scream could be heard.

A Chosen Saint was flung outside of Star Gazer city as if they were struck by something, quickly landing on the barren wasteland.

"Damn it, so what if I don't have enough Merits, I'll go earn some more!"

The person angrily shouted, then began to head deeper into the great tomb following the river.

Everyone remained silent.

Within that silence, the person slowly disappeared into the great tomb.

At this point, some more fluctuations could be felt from the paper sheet floating above the city.

It was sending information to everyone-------

At this point, both City Lords have the right to select a function of their choice to be unlocked for the city.

The paper sheet continued to radiate its fluctuations, sending information directly to every Chosen Saint's mind.

-------the paper sheet was the manifestation of the city's Laws, not only did it clearly display all of the city's Laws, but it could also display the Laws of the opposing Heavenly Palace city.

In other words, the functions and Laws of both cities were transparent to all Chosen Saints.

And Heavenly Palace city had just unlocked its first city function-------

[Limited Basic Long-distance Bombardment]

[Description: By focusing the power of all Chosen Saints in the city, unleash a single attack that will transform all destroyed objects into pure Origin Power that will directly support Heavenly Palace's evolution level]

[------This is an Immortal City's most basic form of attack, capable of being unleashed towards any targets]

[Usable once per day]

Seeing Heavenly Palace city activating such a powerful city function, the Chosen Saints of Star Gazer city all felt a bit panicked.

「 What function does our city have? 」

『 -------I don't see anything 』

『 So no function has been unlocked yet? 』

「 I'm not sure 」

"The City Lord is probably still making his choice"

"That's the only way to explain it…"

The Chosen Saints of Star Gazer city were openly discussing this matter.

It was clear that the two cities had a loose competitive relationship.

So now that one city had earned a weapon, the people of the other city would naturally feel uneasy.

------everyone was in a hurry to find out what ability the City Lord of Star Gazer city had chosen.

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but explain: "There are more of us, so there are more functions that we can manifest compared to Heavenly Palace, I'm still waiting for the Samsara to provide me a list, but it's still not fully completed"

Hearing that, everyone felt a bit helpless, but this really couldn't be helped, and they had no choice except to simply wait.

Someone suddenly called out:

「 My heavens! 」

"They're taking an offensive posture!"

『 Look! 』

"Have the people of the Heavenly Palace gone crazy?"

The Chosen Saints standing in Star Gazer city all turned to look at Heavenly Palace city.

Only to see a large offensive formation gradually manifesting in the void of space outside Heavenly Palace city.

The runes that made up the offensive formation gradually glowed brighter while emanating a terrifying ferocious presence.

A giant hologram slowly manifested at the center of the formation.

-------it was a battering ram in the shape of a five-clawed golden dragon, which was only a little bit smaller than the two cities.

"Aaaaaaa, it's coming!"
