Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

The showering raindrops were becoming even more intense.

Gu Qing Shan sat next to the pile of corpses fully focused on cooking something within a pot.

The old pixie was pacing back and forth while he used his stick as a walking cane.

"Why are you pacing back and forth?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"I also need to calm myself down…" the old pixie muttered in reply.

"That's true" Gu Qing Shan agreed.

What had transpired just now contained too much information, with plenty of ramifications to consider.

Some of these ramifications couldn't even be considered, otherwise, it felt like his head would literally pop.

So Gu Qing Shan decided to stop himself and calm down.

-------he began to cook a meal.

"Why am I so unlucky, running into such a dangerous secret"

The old pixie mumbled to himself with knitted eyebrows, occasionally swinging his stick in order to take off the equipment that these corpses were wearing.

"Aren't you also earning a big score?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Hah, scoring big is normal for me, but the things I experienced earlier are far beyond the limits of what I am able to endure" the old pixie replied.

Gu Qing Shan tasted his porridge.

-----delicious, mild flavor.

"Don't think too much, let's have a midnight snack" Gu Qing Shan said.

The old pixie's nose twitched a bit before he jumped up: "Seafood porridge? That's great indeed, but I have something more important to take care of------ I need to wash away this misfortune first!"

"How are you going to wash it away?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"I need to die, Gu Qing Shan" the old pixie answered with a very serious tone.

"Die?" Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in surprise.

"Right------ this is a Mysticism ritual unique to us pixies: using death to avoid misfortune"

The old pixie stood still as he began to mumble something under his breath.

"It's a good thing to dispel your misfortune… but there is no need to die for it, is there?" Gu Qing Shan tried dissuading him.

But the old pixie was unmoved and suddenly raised his voice: "Flaming roaring blaze, burn away my body, dispel misfortune, only dead way walks!"

Hoh------

His body suddenly burst into flames.

Gu Qing Shan was startled.

He's really committing suicide?

The flames continued to cackle for a while.

As the old pixie was burnt to ash, the flames gradually died down as well.

Gazing at the dying flames, Gu Qing Shan's mind was blank.

To avoid the misfortune brought by the Heavenly Emperor, the old pixie is now dead?

All of a sudden, the flames flickered and intensified once again.

The flames condensed down to the size of a thumb, then gradually manifested into the shape of a body and facial features.

The old pixie had reappeared!

Walking out from the flame, he sighed in relief: "From a wooden body to a fire body, sure enough, I feel much better now"

Gu Qing Shan: "…Why are you alive again?"

The old pixie answered him with surprise: "I already lost my life once, I'm now a fire pixie"

He flew up next to Gu Qing Shan, then poured himself a bowl of porridge and began drinking it.

Gu Qing Shan remained stunned for a while before gradually calming back down.

------after the old pixie's 'circus act', he felt like nothing else could surprise him now.

After finishing the porridge, the two of them continued to follow the map while staying cautious.

En route their travel, while the rainfall poured down harder, they didn't run into anything out of the ordinary.

From this perspective, the old pixie's divination technique was indeed quite reliable.

After a short while, the sun started rising and the rain finally stopped.

They'd reached the location marked on the map.

This place was a valley.

There was a stone tablet standing upright at the mouth of the valley with faint marks visible on the surface, it was as if the tablet used to contain some sort of information a very long time ago, but it's been erased by somebody.

"The location is up ahead" Gu Qing Shan said.

He began to walk into the valley, only to see the stone tablet projecting a ray of light that manifested into a wall blocking his way.

An emotionless voice resounded:

[You are not a Chosen Saint of the Human realm]

[If you want to enter the Human realm Initial Grave, please proceed through a different entrance]

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

What?

It took so long and so much effort for me to get here, and you're telling me I can't actually enter?
