Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

"-----stay here and wait for gongzi to arrive"

"At that time, you will once again come into his hands, pass the numerous difficult trials, triumph against all enemies, and then… awaken me again"

…

Standing by the banks of the Forgetting River, Gu Qing Shan silently thought about Shannu.

I know that Chao Yin is hiding within the Forgetting River.

But considering how vast and massive the Forgetting River is, where exactly is Chao Yin?

Gu Qing Shan continued to remain in thought for a while before he thought back to Shannu's words.

Triumph against all enemies.

And then.

Awaken her.

-----where would these 'enemies' come from?

While looking at the continuously crashing waves of the river, Gu Qing Shan became a bit absent-minded.

I originally thought that the Samsara Clash for Supremacy was nothing but a few rounds of combat and murder.

But now, it's clear that there are too many secrets hidden extremely deep within the Samsara.

The Eternal Mind Seizer's long years of preparations.

The gathering of the numerous Sequence Envoys.

And the fact that the Delimitation Divine Sword tried to escape from it.

Even the entity who's taken control over the Samsara and forced a suicidal task on me is also planning something.

-----everything feels like a massive shroud of fog that can't be peered through.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and decided to stop pondering this matter any further.

He turned his gaze towards the void of space.

Two lines of bloody red text had been floating there this entire time:

[You've completed one Entropy Solution, the feedback from Primal Chaos has been accepted]

[When you have free time, the Supreme Sequence will help you absorb this feedback]

Following Gu Qing Shan's thought, new lines of text began to pop up from the void of space:

[You've received the Primal Chaos feedback]

[You obtained the Primal Chaos Reinforcement: Shoulders]

[-----The softness of your shoulders have been increased three-fold]

Reading these notifications, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit speechless.

A silver glow emerged from the void of space before silently vanishing into his body.

Gu Qing Shan examined himself.

His shoulders had certainly become softer, now capable of moving at a greater range compared to before.

However------

"Oi, the last time it was soft hips, now it's soft shoulders, if this is your so-called 'Primal Chaos Reinforcement', isn't it a bit lame?" he complained.

[You are incorrect] the Supreme Sequence sternly replied: [Primal Chaos is unpredictable, nobody can tell what exactly it would bestow upon you, but Primal Chaos is the absolute truth of 'eternal destruction'. From a certain standpoint, it is your firmest backing and support, so it will definitely not harm you]

Gu Qing Shan helplessly sighed: "Sure, it wouldn't harm me------ but I'm a man, why would I need my body to be so soft for?"

[You are incorrect again, in truth, you are a boy] the Sequence corrected him.

Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth, but found himself unable to refute that in any way.

A second later, a small golden glow emerged and entered Gu Qing Shan's body as well.

[You obtained the Primal Chaos Reinforcement: Iron Head]

[----Your head is extremely sturdy, even a Divine Artifact wouldn't be able to arbitrarily damage it at all]

Reading this notification, Gu Qing Shan finally felt a bit excited.

He couldn't help but draw the Delimitation Divine Sword and tried using it to cut the top of his head.

Almost instantly-------

His skin was cut and blood began to flow.

What!?

Am I supposed to have [Iron Head]?

Why am I bleeding?

The Delimitation Divine Sword suddenly exclaimed: 「 Huh? How come your head is so tough? 」

Gu Qing Shan paused and asked: "Is it actually tough?"

「 It is. You've forgotten, but I possess the [All Things Perish] Thaumaturgy; if it was anyone else, they would already be bleeding a river, while you only got a small cut 」the Delimitation Divine Sword replied.

Gu Qing Shan: "…"

That's true.

I'm troubled by so many useless thoughts right now that I forgot such a basic thing.

He sighed and took flight, seemingly trying to fly into the Forgetting River.

"Rhode, what are you doing?"

A female voice called out from behind him.

Gu Qing Shan stopped and turned around: "Xiao Lang, it's not time to cook yet, so I wanted to take a stroll along the Forgetting River"

"You can't" Xiao Lang shook her head.

"Why not?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"The Forgetting River belongs to the Forgetting River Department, but you're a dead person from the Hells Department, so how can you come and go so arbitrarily? If you aren't careful, they might even kick you into the Forgetting River itself" Xiao Lang explained.

Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in surprise: "Is everyone really that territorial in Huang Quan?"

Xiao Lang replied: "Have you ever seen anyone else come to Hell? Even the Hall of Reincarnation, aside from the main hall and the two side halls on the left and right, forbid entry to all outsiders. None of the Departments would allow outsiders to enter their territories"

That's troublesome, if I can't go near the Forgetting River, how am I supposed to search for Chao Yin?

Gu Qing Shan asked: "Is there really nothing that can be done about this?"

Xiao Lang replied: "There is one way, if a high-ranking Deity personally issued a request, the other Departments would naturally send someone out to personally give them reception"

"A high-ranking Deity-------"

"That's right, take a look at Liu Li and I. Since we now have Merits, we've both returned to the rank of Partial Deity"

Partial Deity?

The rank of Partial Deity was already enough for them to jointly perform a Divine Skill to pull me back here from the Boundless Void?

How impressive.

Wanting to confirm, Gu Qing Shan tried asking: "Then… What's my current rank?"

Xiao Lang replied with a stern expression: "Since you've only just arrived without ever being promoted before, you're a Minor Devil"

…a Minor Devil.
