Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

"Gourde, you will never have to participate in a Profession Selection ever again!"

Bam-------

Following the teacher's strict scolding, the school's gates were slammed shut in his face.

Gu Qing Shan blankly stood at the school's gates for a while.

The testing door was broken.

No matter how hard I tried to explain, all the teachers refused to believe that it had nothing to do with me.

------furthermore, I WAS actually the reason behind the breaking of the door.

However, the issue is that these elementary school teachers are limited in their understanding, none of them realizes that I overwhelmed the door through sheer mental strength.

I can't even blame them for it.

In this era, never before has there been a case where someone overwhelmed the door's capacity through nothing but mental strength.

------this is the power of evolution.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and prepared to leave the school.

"Young master Gourde"

A voice called out from a distance.

As he turned around, he saw a horse carriage and a middle-aged man in a black butler suit.

"You are?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

The middle-aged man gracefully bowed to him, then answered: "I am your butler----- young master, let's get on the carriage before we continue"

He opened the door of the carriage.

Gu Qing Shan smiled as he observed him: "You seem to know quite a bit"

The butler replied: "There was a guide at the initial location, so there are naturally guides in other eras as well"

"I see" Gu Qing Shan commented.

He boarded the horse carriage and left the school with the middle-aged man.

An hour later.

The horse carriage stopped in front of a medium-sized manor.

Gu Qing Shan walked inside and glanced at the paintings of various aristocrats that were hung around the main hall.

"These are the paintings of your ancestors, the lineage stops at your generation, with you being the last heir" the butler explained.

"So this is the identity that has been pre-arranged?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"There are two methods to progress forward through each era, the first of which is to begin at the era of the ape people, slowly but continuously driving civilization forward; the second is to directly break out from your bodily prison and leap forward to the next era of civilization" the butler answered.

"With the first method, there are 'prophets' who are responsible for guiding and mentoring; with the second method, there are those like me who make the necessary preparations ahead of time to welcome the Chosen Saints into each era"

"Welcome? Is there anything that you need to delegate to me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"As the second method is much faster compared to the first method, it would result in a certain degree of imbalance, so the Samsara established corresponding means of adjustment" the butler answered Gu Qing Shan.

He placed a tray in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The tray only contained a single envelope.

Gu Qing Shan took the envelope and opened it before carefully reading the content of the letter inside.

"An acceptance letter into the Grand Divine Church's Academy?" Gu Qing Shan asked doubtfully.

"Indeed, as you've directly bypassed two thousand years' worth of eras, you need to do something else aside from just advancing civilization" the butler replied.

"Go to school?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"No, you need to destroy the Grand Divine Church" the butler answered.

Gu Qing Shan paused briefly before pondering: "Religions are a part of civilization's existence and development, why do I have to destroy it?"

The butler chuckled and answered: "It would be no problem if it was a normal religion, as 'prophets' like us can easily establish a religion of our own to stimulate the development of a civilization's culture, philosophy, science, and art"

"Indeed" Gu Qing Shan agreed.

"For that same reason, this Church isn't the one that you know of, it is considered a type of corrosion within the Samsara, an act of conversion and annexing if you will" the butler explained.

"You mean an Apocalypse?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"No, it isn't an Apocalypse, it doesn't seek to destroy everything, but its threat is even greater compared to that" the butler replied.

The butler then moved a trunk onto the table and opened it.

Its content included an aristocratic emblem, clothing, genealogy, the Count's seal, gems, gold coins, as well as a scepter of historical significance.

"Count?" Gu Qing Shan almost exclaimed in surprise.

"They've been gathering dust for a long while, only to be used again if you choose to accept this identity" the butler said.

"What if I decide to not accept them?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Then please head back to the ape people era and lead the progress of their civilization" the butler answered.

Gu Qing Shan chuckled.

He then took out the scepter from the trunk and said: "Then I'd be more than willing to bypass 2000 years and do some work in this era"

Instantly, lines of bloody red text appeared in his vision:

[You've received the scepter: Green Dragon's Beard]

[All of your healing techniques will be improved by 30%]

[He who wields this scepter will be widely recognized under the Dragon clan's name and automatically receive the corresponding reverence]

[Attention!]

[You've accepted the proposed identity]

[You've accepted the mission of trial issued by the Samsara: Destroy the Grand Divine Church]

[Begin]

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

If even the Supreme Sequence recognizes this, it seems I really will have to get rid of that something or other church.

"When can I set out?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Right now" the butler smiled.

"Do you have anything else to inform me?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.

"Nothing, I'm only responsible for providing you with a clean and useful identity. Now that my job is done, it's your turn" the butler replied.

"Very well, then do you have anything else to tell me?" Gu Qing Shan emphasized his words a bit more.

"Keep in mind, they're very greedy"

"Got it"

…

Three days later.

A horse carriage that had traveled a long distance finally reached the gates of the Grand Divine Church's Academy.

Two men garbed in dark grey church robes opened the gates, from which an old man with a solemn expression emerged and sternly shouted:

"State your background, why have you stopped in front of the Sanctuary?"

Nobody in the horse carriage said a single word.

Only a small bag was tossed outside, aiming straight at the old man's face.

The old man swiftly caught the small bag and furiously grunted: "No matter who you are, such gall------"

He suddenly noticed something.

The bag in his hand gave off a familiar and lovable noise.

-----that's right.

No other metal could make such a delightful noise.

The old man immediately stopped talking.

He silently evaluated the bag and estimated a number.

Well, well.
