Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

That Red Dragon Origin Hex was nothing but an emergency measure.

After everyone politely greeted the City Lord, if someone was suddenly taken over and tried to attack------

Their attack would only hit themselves.

Even if the Creator Entity had avoided Red Dragon Origin Hex, Gu Qing Shan would also be notified of it by the Supreme Sequence without delay.

"Perhaps that person has some sort of grudge against me, no need to pay attention"

Gu Qing Shan turned back to the other five and earnestly explained.

The five of them exchanged glances before one of them stepped out and clasped his fist: "City Lord sir, can we be granted our corresponding authorities now?"

Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: "Wait a moment, there's one final test"

"One final test?" the five of them asked in unison.

"That's right"

As Gu Qing Shan answered, he couldn't help but think back to the Creator Entity's words-------

…

"In the beginning, I created life and civilization merely to pass the maddening long flow of time"

"…but after the Samsara placed them through reincarnation once, I would usually lose my absolute control over these living beings…"

"…"

…

Gu Qing Shan's eyes abruptly flickered.

All living beings that they created would escape their control after those living beings had undergone a single reincarnation within the Samsara.

Inversely, living beings that had not undergone reincarnation even a single time would remain under the Creator Entity's absolute control!

------and what I need to do is to catch these living beings!

While also maintaining my own safety.

Gu Qing Shan retreated into the darkness and was teleported away.

As he entered a secret room within Star Gazer city, he ordered: "Project a real-time image of me in front of the five of them"

[Understood] the mechanical voice answered.

When they saw the City Lord leaving, the five people were very surprised, but then they suddenly noticed Gu Qing Shan's projection.

"City Lord sir" they respectfully greeted him again.

Gu Qing Shan nodded and looked over the five of them: "At this moment, all of you are about to become the new rulers of Star Gazer city"

"But before that, you all must pass my test"

"What kind of test?" the five of them subconsciously asked.

"This test will assess your observation skills, your learning skills, your judgment, as well as body strength coordination. It will be an all-rounder test" Gu Qing Shan solemnly explained.

"What exactly is it?" someone tried asking.

Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands.

"Music, on" he called out.

A lively rhythm immediately began to play within Star Gazer city.

Bsh bsh pow-----

Bsh bsh pow-----

Gu Qing Shan began to move his body.

"Come, let's get warmed up first"

"One two three four, two two three four, three two-------"

He told the group of five as he danced.

All five of them opened their eyes and mouths wide, but couldn't help but started moving their bodies following his urging.

Lines of bloody red text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's vision:

[You've initiated the Three Lives Dance]

[From this moment on, you will be able to observe the three lives of your dance partners]

[Attention, as the amount of Merits you possess is insufficient, I can only convert them into a limited amount of Prayers, so you will only be able to see short glimpses]

Only short glimpses?

Glimpses are already enough!

Gu Qing Shan stepped forward and danced rapidly like a blurred image, swiftly finishing the whole Three Lives Dance in no time at all.

"Dance, gentlemen, this is your test!"

He loudly urged.

The five people awkwardly tried to follow him to very little effect.

-------the Three Lives Dance was extremely difficult to learn, let alone grasp. Even Gu Qing Shan had to dance with Shroud for an entire year while traveling forward through time before he managed to be so skillful with it.

Gu Qing Shan stopped his dance steps and clenched his fist in mid-air, calling out: "Come, show me their previous lives!"

In an instant, five screens showing the exact same thing appeared in front of him.

Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.

The screens were all showing him nothing.

In other words, these five… have no previous lives.

It was as if they suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Nobody could know how they became Samsara living beings.

Just like the Sequence envoys, they must have qualified for the Samsara Clash for Supremacy through unknown means.

But thinking back, since the Creator Entity had mentioned such a thing, it was obvious that the Samsara tacitly permitted entry to these outsiders.

It only needed these participants to undergo reincarnation a single time before they become pure Samsara beings.

But, wouldn't that also be a loophole?

------considering these people haven't actually undergone reincarnation.

Gu Qing Shan muttered: "Continue, take a look at their most distant incarnation"

All the screens remain blank.

Afterwards, something seemed to be moving, growing increasingly clearer------

It was a black length of tube.

Each of these tubes were connected to a separate individual, while these people's bodies appeared to be just a husk.

No innards, no flesh, no souls.

Literally empty husks!
