Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Everything returned to normal.

Gu Qing Shan was still standing within the palace hall while numerous thoughts flashed through his mind.

He suddenly started walking toward the gates of the palace hall, opened the gates, then asked everyone outside:

"Does anyone still carry a Samsara object with them?"

Everyone exchanged glances.

The Progenitor Fiendess replied: 『 Her majesty made sure to confiscate everything related to the Samsara from all of us before she let us go, how could we still possess any Samsara objects? 』

Gu Qing Shan then turned to Li An and asked: "The Reincarnation Gloom Orchid that you gave me, where did it come from?"

『 It was a Holy Artifact of our Profound Immortal race. Back then, when you opened our secret grotto within the Wraith realm, I only managed to obtain it after going through the arduous trials within 』Li An answered.

"Got it"

Gu Qing Shan curtly said and closed the gates again.

He returned to the palace hall and took out the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid.

The jet-black orchid was radiating a dark light within the illuminated palace hall.

This is the only Samsara object I still possess.

Shifu knew that I had the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and the Devil King Warden Rod, but she didn't know that I have this Gloom Orchid.

------could someone or something be using this Gloom Orchid to monitor me?

Perhaps, the preparations for this had been in effect ever since a long time ago?

Looking down at this Gloom Orchid, Gu Qing Shan's thoughts slowly became clear.

This Gloom Orchid gave me the ability to summon a single helper from within the Sequence.

But the summoned individual can only retain one ability.

That would help me, but also restrict the overall strength of my side.

Furthermore, since the entire duration of the summoning is reliant on the Gloom Orchid, anyone can easily monitor the entire situation on my side through it using a technique.

Indeed.

Very subtle.

And leaves no trace.

------but regardless, I've decided to not trust these kinds of coincidences.

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and loudly declared:

"Since I've bid my farewell with the Samsara, I shall never return to it again, and I won't be needing a Samsara treasure"

He tossed the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid into the air.

The Delimitation Divine Sword silently appeared next to his grip.

Clang!

With a loud ring, the divine sword sent a sharp sword phantom flying through the air and violently striking the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid.

The Reincarnation Gloom Orchid was sent flying, shaking off some of its pollen as it did.

"Huh? I remember that you possess the [All Things Perish] Thaumaturgy, how come you couldn't destroy it?" Gu Qing Shan purposely asked.

The Delimitation Divine Sword replied: 「 I can indeed counteract all things, but this Gloom Orchid is an extremely high-grade Divine Artifact, it can't be destroyed in a single slash 」

"What now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 Just slash it a few more times, it'll break 」the Delimitation Divine Sword replied.

"Got it"

Gu Qing Shan thrust the sword forward a single time.

Layers upon layers of radiant light bloomed like a flower into an endless shroud of swords, which fully surrounded the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid.

"It's over, we shall now thoroughly bid farewell to all that is related to the Samsara-------"

As soon as he said that.

All the sword phantoms condensed into a tornado that cut towards the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid.

In that instant.

The Reincarnation Gloom Orchid suddenly burst into rays of dark light that tore a crack into the void of space.

The Gloom Orchid trembled as it attempted to enter the crack.

-------it wanted to flee!

Gu Qing Shan's gaze became sharp.

------[All-Encompassing Sword Realm]!

The entire palace hall, including the crack in space, swiftly faded away.

Everything was replaced by an endlessly empty world.

As the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid dashed forward, it encountered nothing and was unable to flee.

It was now trapped here.

Gu Qing Shan spoke in a completely emotionless tone:

"Your time has come"

Layers upon layers of sword phantoms manifested from the sword as thin strands of thread immediately scattered in every direction.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang!

The sound of numerous slashes rang out continuously.

The Reincarnation Gloom Orchid was cut into several pieces, then diced into tiny specks of dust that were blown away in the wind.

Gu Qing Shan stood still as his eyebrows gradually became unfurrowed.

Now, he no longer possessed any Samsara object.

The divine sword danced in the air and spoke:

「 Gu Qing Shan, you are not only extremely meticulous and careful, but your strategic mind is also second to none. Back when the Eternal Mind Seizer fled for its life, I already noticed a disturbance in the will of the Samsara 」

"Are you saying that it's wary of me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 I'm just saying that if somebody is hiding in the shadows to monitor everything, they will definitely first come up with a method to get rid of or deal with someone like you 」the divine sword answered.

"Right now, the question isn't who wants to get rid of me, but rather who I want to get rid of" Gu Qing Shan replied.

He waved his hand again.

The gates of the palace hall swung open.

"Everyone come in, we have something to discuss" Gu Qing Shan said.

Everyone began to move into the hall one by one.

Gu Qing Shan walked up the platform and sat down on the Throne of Myriad Flowers before speaking: "Right now, I want to ask everyone's opinion, what does everyone think we should do from this point?"
