Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

From the darkness, lines of bloody red text popped up one after another:

[Attention, you may now partially unseal your strength]

[You may choose one supernatural ability to unseal]

[When the Samsara's will descends, you only need to state your choice in your mind and it will be released]

[Attention, you still cannot choose a sword or your sword techniques]

[Attention, you cannot choose to regain your cultivation realm]

Gu Qing Shan read through the messages.

A second later, a wondrous consciousness descended upon him.

------this sensation felt very similar to the fluctuations that the two paper sheets protecting the cities gave off.

Through communicating with this consciousness, Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of realization.

I can unseal my abilities.

Although it's limited to only one ability, that's still something worth celebrating.

So what should I choose?

He only hesitated for a split second before he suddenly thought about why the Samsara was doing this.

At this point in time, the Samsara chose to have the great tomb resurface.

There are numerous terrifying factors hidden within the tomb river.

There are Apocalypses, lost civilizations, and unknown horrors------ like that shadow that descended within the river earlier.

When I arrived at this island, I managed to evade the dangers brought by that shadow by dying through [Govern Spirit].

From this point onwards, the deeper I head into the tomb river, the more likely I'd run into unpredictable dangers.

I might even run into other Chosen Saints.

There is also the issue of Sequences.

Living beings' Sequences, Apocalypse Sequences, and an unknown Sequence that the Heavenly Emperor belongs to.

There might even be other Sequences I haven't yet encountered.

There are too many secrets, danger is always around the corner, and yet under such circumstances, the Samsara still doesn't let anyone fully unlock their strength.

-------and yet it allowed me to unseal one of my abilities.

There are deeper implications to the Samsara's actions.

What exactly does it want to do?

Gu Qing Shan paused briefly and slowly recalled his Sequence's description------

The Human realm Initial Grave.

It was only after I discovered the map to it that the Samsara allowed me to unseal one ability.

In other words, my most crucial mission from this point is to be a scout.

Scouting… is very different from fighting.

The goal of scouting is to collect information, not to win against the enemy.

Most of my abilities are centered around fighting and scheming, so I don't have any particularly exceptional scouting abilities…

After thinking for a brief while, Gu Qing Shan made his decision.

"Please help me unseal a unique Mystery-----"

"[Overlooking Soul]"

Immediately after that.

Overflowing deep-blue wind manifested around Gu Qing Shan's body.

Hoh-------

The invisible shackles binding him were slightly relaxed.

Lines of bloody red text swiftly appeared:

[The Samsara has unsealed your unique Mystery]

[You've reawakened the Mystery: Overlooking Soul]

[Overlooking Soul: When any entity displays emotional fluctuations in front of you, you will be able to observe the secrets hidden within their soul]

This was the ability I obtained when I became allied with the Overlooker of Myriad Worlds.

Earlier, even though I summoned the Overlooker of Myriad Souls, this ability wasn't unsealed.

Considering how sneaky the Overlooker of Myriad Souls acted when eating, it probably didn't want to confront the Samsara.

But now, I've finally regained this ability.

The supernatural phenomena around Gu Qing Shan's body ceased.

The steeple, the city, the snow, everything slowly faded into nothingness around Gu Qing Shan, no longer to be seen.

The Cambrian civilization had thoroughly vanished.

And Gu Qing Shan had returned to the underground tomb.

The old pixie was tucking a small bag away when Gu Qing Shan suddenly reappeared, which startled him.

"Why did you suddenly return without any warning?" the old pixie asked.

While asking, he continued to tuck the small bag away into his pants.

Gu Qing Shan looked at him.

Only to see some words written in pixie language appearing above the old pixie's head:

[This youngster returned so quickly, but it's good that I scraped away all the gold on the doorknob; none for him, heh heh heh]

Gu Qing Shan: "…"

He subconsciously rubbed the doorknob.

There wasn't a single bit of gold left on the gilded knob.

[Overlooking Soul] is a very useful Mystery, but it occasionally creates awkward situations like this.

I don't have any scouting abilities, so I have no choice but to unseal this unique Mystery; this way, I'd be able to collect information from anyone I run into.

------I'd be able to collect a lot of information with much higher efficiency.

"Alright, we have to go now" Gu Qing Shan sighed and said.

"Where to?" the old pixie asked.

Gu Qing Shan raised the scepter in his hand-------

This was the final map left by the Cambrian civilization.

A tiny noise could be heard from the scepter.

"Watch out, it's going to explode!" the old pixie screamed.

Gu Qing Shan tossed the scepter away.

Suddenly, the scepter burst into flames and began to unravel itself in the air.

A map displayed itself to Gu Qing Shan and the old pixie.

It was incredibly detailed with clear markings depicted on it, which the two of them stared at carefully to make sure that they would memorize every last bit.

After a while, the flames faded away.

Together with the map.

"Let's go" Gu Qing Shan said.

"Hm, this tomb doesn't have any value anyway!"

The old pixie looked around another time before saying with a satisfied tone.

The two of them left the tomb together.

At this point, the night sky had grown even darker.

Droplets of cold water sporadically rained from above.

A light shower had begun.

The melancholic rain shower blanketed the tomb river.

Gu Qing Shan frowned.
