Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

"I can promise you one thing"

Gu Qing Shan said.

The Heavenly Emperor silently looked at him, waiting for what he wanted to say.

Gu Qing Shan continued: "During this crucial period of exploration of the great tomb, Star Gazer city is willing to live in peace with the Heavenly Palace------ we can agree to a ceasefire to avoid benefiting the Sequences hiding in the shadows"

"Is that it?" the Heavenly Emperor asked.

Gu Qing Shan chuckled and replied: "What else do you want? I've already asked Star Gazer city for a confirmation, if you are the City Lord of the Heavenly Palace, it's impossible for you to also become the City Lord of Star Gazer city"

"What if I can?" the Heavenly Emperor said.

Gu Qing Shan paused briefly and exclaimed: "That's impossible!"

My guess was correct.

-------the Heavenly Emperor really is hiding inside Star Gazer city.

Only a citizen of Star Gazer city would qualify to become its City Lord.

Since this Creator Entity was able to directly take control over the fake Heavenly Emperor, they must be capable of a terrifying secret technique that I haven't heard of.

Then…

How many people can they take control of at once?

Following this train of thought, if I pledge my allegiance to them, would they be able to take over me and my existence?

If they can take control over countless living beings, would they be able to turn all living beings into a spare body?

That's such a nasty ability.

Just by imagining that little bit, Gu Qing Shan had already started to feel a chill in his stomach.

With so little information, this was the extent of what he could consider.

As for what exactly the other party's ability was, or if it had deeper applications, Gu Qing Shan couldn't even begin to make conjectures about it.

Seemingly thinking of something, the Heavenly Emperor absent-mindedly muttered: "Nothing is impossible in this world, after all, even the Samsara has appeared…"

He then remained silent for a while.

Gu Qing Shan had no idea what he was thinking about at all.

Even without taking anything except information into consideration, the difference between them was too great.

"Alright, let's not prolong this any longer, Gu Qing Shan" the Heavenly Emperor suddenly said.

"Sure, what exactly do you want?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Pledge your allegiance to me and become my subordinate" the Heavenly Emperor demanded.

"That's not possible" Gu Qing Shan replied.

"You should give it some more thought------- in reality, I won't need to spend too much force to kill you" the Heavenly Emperor said.

Gu Qing Shan chuckled.

"If this was any other time, I'd believe in these words without question. In fact, you wouldn't even pay attention to a tiny ant like me, but right now-----"

He continued: "Right now, I'm inside the Star Gazer Deus Machina, and the Samsara Clash for Supremacy has already begun"

"So you think I can't act against you?" the Heavenly Emperor scoffed.

"Try it if you dare" Gu Qing Shan snapped back.

After the monster from an unknown Sequence was forced into a casket by the Samsara, nobody tried to attack me directly.

Even when this Creator Entity has taken over the Heavenly Emperor's body, they only stopped me so that I can't keep attacking the Heavenly Palace.

What else did they do?

That's right.

------an illusion.

They used an illusion to try and win without a fight.

From beginning to end, this Creator Entity has actively avoided a direct confrontation.

This shows that they're still afraid.

They're afraid of angering the Samsara like the previous one.

And that is my hope of survival.

The Heavenly Emperor's expression remained cold, seemingly not at all angered by Gu Qing Shan's words.

He stared closely at the Star Gazer Deus Machina and muttered:

"…The two cities can attack one another, most likely, this is tacit permission from the Samsara. It wants to use this hostile competition to observe the Chosen Saints, especially Chosen Saints who can become a City Lord"

"Then…"

The scenery around them vanished in a flash.

As his vision became clear again, Gu Qing Shan found himself standing on top of the barren wasteland once again.

The great tomb river was still flowing rapidly across the wasteland.

The Star Gazer Deus Machine was standing a bit away from the Heavenly Palace.

While the Heavenly Emperor was standing right in front of the Heavenly Palace, casually waving his hand.

-------the big stink egg that was stuck to the outside of the Heavenly Palace was sent flying into the far distance before completely vanishing.

"Very well, then I shall fight you once using the rules of the Samsara, this way, no one would be able to say anything" the Heavenly Emperor declared.

He then hovered backwards until he landed on top of the Heavenly Palace's central building.

A wave of miraculous fluctuations began to radiate from his body.

Standing in the distance, Gu Qing Shan noticed it right away.

Lines of bloody red text quickly appeared:

[Warning, the other party has invoked the power of Miracles]

[The power of Miracles has surrounded your body with the following setting:]

[During the next battle between the two cities, you will be defeated, which will lead to your death]

Gu Qing Shan scanned through the message and asked without pause: "Why didn't he simply invoke a miracle where Star Gazer city would be destroyed by the Heavenly Palace?"

The Supreme Sequence replied: [This is the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, which the Samsara is constantly monitoring. If he directly used a miracle to destroy a Samsara city, it would be too unfair, in fact, he could have simply used a miracle to declare himself the master of the Samsara-----]

[Do you think that the Samsara would accept such a master?]

"I understand, then I still have a chance" Gu Qing Shan sounded glad.

He fell down on the spot.

He was dead.

A second later, he suddenly stood back up on his feet and looked at the void of space in front of him.

A few more lines of bloody red text appeared:

[You died once]

[One of the two established outcomes of the miracle has been fulfilled]

[The power of Miracles had established another outcome: During your battle with the Creator Entity, you will be defeated]

Gu Qing Shan swiftly read through the messages and turned towards the Heavenly Palace:

"Let the battle begin!"

"I accept defeat!"

Instantly, more lines of bloody red text appeared:

[----You have been defeated!]

[Both established outcomes of the miracle has been fulfilled]

[Following this, the power of Miracles will no longer be able to interfere with your battle]

Gu Qing Shan asked right away: "Can't the Creator Entity repeatedly use the power of Miracles?"

[Within a short span of time, miracles cannot occur repeatedly on the same individual] the Sequence answered.
