Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Space.

The 48 large-sized Interstellar Warships split in two, drawing beautiful arcs across space as they headed back into the planet's atmosphere.

The ice lake having been separated from them, kept flying into the darkness of space.

All the faces in the lake looked around.

They never thought what awaited them after returning to the Human Realm from hell would be such an unpredictable fate.

They were all going into a frenzy.

They were screaming, yelling, cursing, berating, no words were too foul for them to spit out.

Looking at the ice lake from the darkness of space, you could see the numerous faces beneath the ice, but under a vacuum, their voices couldn't transmit at all, making it look as if they were opening their mouths just to close them.

------as if it was a comedy flick, or an old silent movie.

The ice lake drifted in space, looking for its new fate.

A space monster with eyes all over its body opened its big mouth and used its tongue to take the strange small frozen dot into its body.

It felt a cool sensation on its taste buds, together with a minute jumpy feeling, like something is trying its best to resist being covered in the saliva.

The space monster happily rolled the small dot around with its tongue, enjoying the sensation.

After a while, it suddenly stopped and opened all the eyes on its body to look around.

What a nice snack, I wonder if there are any more around here.

…

The mountain top mansion.

The TV was broadcasting live news.

The President was shaking hands with a senator.

The senator was smiling with an expression of respect, while the President had no expression in particular, a bit heavy and solemn instead.

The reporter spoke: [Today, the senator of Bai Sha county and the President finally reached an agreement]

[It's so hard to imagine that these two people who were always like dogs and cats managed to shake their hands in joy]

[The senator even joked around and said he would pay attention to the President's speeches to decide whether or not he'll support the President's election]

[The President expressed his appreciation and understanding about this]

While watching TV, Liao Xing suddenly took a large swig of beer.

He was staring at the screen with dead eyes, not even blinking while looking at the President on the screen.

"It's not a clone this time, not good, this is too big, I have to tell him" he muttered.

Having decided, Liao Xing took his phone and called Gu Qing Shan.

"Where are you?"

[The Fuxi Empire's border, Ye Fei Li and I are on our way back] Gu Qing Shan answered.

"There's no time left so I'll tell you right now. The President currently on TV is not a clone"

[How do you know?]

"The eyes! There are problems with a clone's memories, so they occasionally have a small lapse in thought. Outwardly, the pupils will sometimes unconsciously dilate, people will think of it as him being interested in something, but I know this is the symptoms of human lapses in thought"

[How did you notice this?] Gu Qing Shan asked.

Liao Xing went silent for a bit, then spoke in a low voice: "Back then, Tang Jun made me a clone with memories, allowing me to fake my death and escape the 9 Lords' pursuit. That's how I know these things"

Liao Xing continued: "I've analyzed Tang Jun's experiment records and cross referenced them with the amount of times the President has gotten assassinated lately, I conclude that the President's clones have been used up"

"Since Tang Jun is dead, the President couldn't get any more clones with memories, so he had no choice but to show up in person"

The other side of the phone went silent.

If that's true, once he's assassinated again, the President will actually die.

[…Alright, I understand] Gu Qing Shan said.

Gu Qing Shan hung up.

The President has now shown himself in public.

The Fuxi Emperor had taken Tang Jun hostage, so he definitely knows exactly how many clones the President has.

If he wants to get rid of the President to throw the Confederate into chaos, this will be when he'll act.

"Impartial Goddess" Gu Qing Shan called.

[I'm here sir]

"Is the Martial Saint still protecting the President?"

[Ever since he got my message, he has been staying at the presidential office]

"That's good to know"

With the Martial Saint Zhang Zong Yang protecting him, as long as the President doesn't go outside, there should be no problems for now.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, Ye Fei Li called him from the side.

"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Take a look below" Ye Fei Li answered.

Gu Qing Shan glanced downwards.

Along the vast countryside, a lot of areas were getting covered in a white misty fog.

The white fog was clearly spreading at a rate that the eyes could see.

This rate of spreading is completely unnatural.

Luckily, this is the border of the two countries so it's uninhabited, causing no wide-spread panic to human society.

While flying, Ye Fei Li asked loudly: "What are we going to do if the entire world becomes covered in frost?"

Gu Qing Shan wryly smiled: "I'm also asking myself the same question"

In the past life, humanity had never found a way to fight against this.

They were destroyed.

The mountaintop mansion.

When Gu Qing Shan arrived, Liao Xing was very focused on reading a book.

"What are you reading?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"A new research topic" Liao Xing closed the book and placed it to one side.

On the cover were the words "Gene Theory" in large letters.

Glancing over it, Gu Qing Shan sat down across Liao Xing.

"So you're researching this now huh?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Just something to remember an old friend who's passed" Liao Xing answered.

"About your friend's death, what do you think about it?" Gu Qing Shan asked him.

Liao Xing wondered: "There's something I'm just not able to understand"

"Which point do you not understand?"

"Tang Jun was kidnapped while under the protection of Professionists" Liao Xing was confused.

"After his rescue, he immediately went to see the President, but as soon as he reached the presidential office and met the President, he suddenly died"

"If that's the case, he couldn't have told the President anything in time" Gu Qing Shan commented.

"At the time there weren't many people present so there aren't any records" Liao Xing dejectedly sighed.

Gu Qing Shan mused over it: "About this, this is what I think"

"Tell me"

"Tang Jun's death is caused by the Fuxi Emperor"

"The Fuxi Emperor?" Liao Xing sat straight up, "why would he do such a thing?"

Before Gu Qing Shan could explain, the door slammed open.

Ye Fei Li rushed in.

"Trouble!" he spoke in a low voice, his expression a bit fearful.

Gu Qing Shan and Liao Xing both stood up.

"What happened?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Liu Shi Jun said her soul is dispersing!" Ye Fei Li was panicking.

"How could that be?" Gu Qing Shan didn't expect that at all.

Liu Shi Jun is Ye Fei Li's ex-girlfriend, now a wandering spirit that lives together with Ye Fei Li.

Being a wandering spirit, she should exist for a very long time.

As they talked, the void of space moved.

The Earth Sword appeared by itself.

A heavy voice as deep as mountains came from the sword: 「 This is the work of Yin Demons from Hell 」

Shill!

The Earth Sword flashed and disappeared from the room.

Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li both moved to chase after the Earth Sword to Ye Fei Li's room.

There was a tombstone in the room.

Gu Qing Shan circulated his spirit energy to see a young girl sitting on the tombstone, her face full of dread.

Her body was visually becoming more and more transparent, as if she's about to dissipate.

Meanwhile, a cold breeze of wind filled the room from the void of space.

The Earth Sword drew and arc as it flew, suddenly slashing at a place in the air.

A screech of malice and agony was heard.

Black blood flowed from the air, but nothing appeared.

The Earth Sword let out a thunderous roar: 「 Evil spirits, don't you dare cause misdeeds in front of me! 」

Hoh!

An intense shockwave emitted from the Earth Sword, sweeping across the room.

The wind moved back and forth, as if trying to catch something.

One second later, the Earth Sword flew up and stabbed something in the air.

With that, the wind died down.

All became silent, there was no longer any noise from the air around them.

It was only now that Earth Sword flew back and hovered next to Gu Qing Shan.
