Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

688 Divine Power Frost Crystals

Some transparent divine runes could occasionally be seen manifesting around the ice crystal.

Within the ice, Yun Ji was currently in a deep state of unconsciousness, unable to tell Gu Qing Shan anything.

But when Gu Qing Shan showed up at the ice crystal, a pre-arranged spell was triggered.

A faintly glowing black dot of light flew out from between Yun Ji's eyebrows, going through the ice and stopping in front of Gu Qing Shan.

After thinking for a bit, Gu Qing Shan received the black dot of light with his hand.

The black dot was immediately absorbed into his hand and followed it straight into his Thought Sea.

Yun Ji's voice sounded into his ears.

"Gu Qing Shan, I'm about to fall unconscious, so before that, I will record everything here. When you get here, whether or not I'm still alive, I'll still be able to tell you everything"

Her voice slowly faded.

A complete series of images appeared in Gu Qing Shan's Thought Sea.

It detailed what happened after he and Ning Yue Chan left the 900 million World Layers alliance world.

Xie Dao Ling received Yun Ji's plush doll and was turned into a little girl.

It seemed like she had accepted their suggestion and was going to remain in Shen Wu world without leaving.

Following that, Yun Ji and Wang Chen as well as the other Lords participated in a top-brass meeting of the 900 million World Layers alliance.

During the meeting, some suggested helping the Spire, others suggested that they should observe and probe them first, a few even suggested that they should make the preparations to retreat after probing them in consideration of the automatic machine gun's strength and death.

After voting, the 900 million World Layers alliance decided to dispatch a squad of elites led by Lady Darksea.

And then, the tragic war.

It was a completely one-sided battle.

No one was able to do anything against the monster of God Institute.

Once it began to suck in their souls, it easily destroyed the Spire as well as the allied army.

The entire war headed to its end.

Yun Ji, Wang Chen and everyone else was one step away from death, but luckily they were saved by Lady Darksea at the very last moment.

Lady Darksea interfered with the monster's soul feast and brought all the remaining Lord-class Combatants into the Strife Zones.

The images ended here.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and slowly watched through them all.

At first, when he saw Xie Dao Ling being turned into a little girl, he couldn't help but chuckled.

But as the images quickly changed to that of the war, he felt heavier and heavier as he watched on.

------that monster was very strange.

No matter what kind of attacks they used, none of them managed to hurt it.

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes and fell into thought.

"Lady Darksea… please don't die…"

He muttered.

As Shannu had said, during the novice qualification test, the lady once told me something.

Perhaps she knows something about me that I don't?

Unfortunately, I have no way to find her now.

The scale and severity of that war had gone far above Gu Qing Shan's understanding.

From what he saw during the last few images, no one was left to help Lady Darksea.

Gu Qing Shan had no information to try and predict what would happen next.

But to Gu Qing Shan, the current key point was that------

Shifu had left the 900 million World Layers and returned to the Scattered world without any intention of leaving any time soon.

Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but feel grateful to Yun Ji.

Even Lady Darksea couldn't stop that monster.

In the 900 million World Layers alliance, there should be a few Combatants who were at the same level as Lady Darksea, taking the highest positions of power, but it was likely that they wouldn't be able to stop that monster just like Lady Darksea.

After this war, it was likely that the 900 million World Layers alliance would have to retreat.

Ironically, the originally dangerous Scattered worlds were actually safer compared to the 900 million World Layers during these unique times.

Shifu should be safe.

Which means, for now…

Gu Qing Shan stared at the ice crystal and lightly reached his hand out.

He placed his hand on the surface of the ice.

Lines of notification popped up on the War God UI.

[Item: Divine Power Frost Crystal]

[Note: This is the condensed form of Divine Power crystalized through the use of Laws]

[Doomsday Chronicles: Divine Power Frost Crystal is a Secret Craft unique to Divinities, only appeared a few times during the toughest moments of history for mortals, used to protect the lives of living beings]

[To check the related historical events, please spend 1000 Soul Points]

At this point, the notifications suddenly stopped.

Following that, the buttons and icons below the UI, including ones that he hadn't unlocked, all turned grey.

Only the [War God Skills] icon was glowing.

It shined with divine light, slowly drifting upwards to the center of the UI.

The War God System's cold and mechanical voice spoke.

[Discovered Divine Secret Craft]

[Unique choice appeared]

[The System must inquire the following:]

[Would you like to upgrade War God Skills, allowing the range of skills you can learn to include those of divine beings?]

Gu Qing Shan immediately answered: "Of course"

[The System has accepted your will, preparing to upgrade War God Skills to allow you to comprehend Divine-grade techniques – Divine Crafts]

[Now, please prepare 1 million Soul Points to facilitate the upgrade of War God Skills]

1 million Soul Points!

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

I currently only have 73,000 Soul Points.

I was actually confident that this amount of Soul Points would be more than enough for any situation.

Who would've thought, just getting the ability to learn Divine Crafts required 927,000 more Soul Points.

What an unprecedented astronomical number.

However------

The entire Strife Zones are currently rushing in a frenzy to enter the path to Godhood.

I'm not a follower, so if I need to fight against those who have lit their Tree of Divinity from now on, I'd be at a severe disadvantage if I didn't have more powerful skills.

So upgrading [War God Skills] is a must.

Besides that, there are a few secrets hidden in here.

To be able to use a large-scale [Divine Power Frost Crystal] on every Lord on the battlefield at the time, Lady Darksea's identity was quite clear.

She must have been a Divinity!

Even if she wasn't, she would be an existence close to that of a divine being.

If she really was a Divinity, and she was concealing herself all these years within the 900 million World Layers alliance------

-----then what is her goal?

Gu Qing Shan silently thought about this for a brief moment.

From her actions, it was clear that she stood on the side of living beings, and even saved quite a few Combatants at a crucial moment.

Gu Qing Shan thought as he asked: "I can stop the upgrade for now, gather enough Soul Points while I think more about this?"

[Naturally, to trigger the upgrade for War God Skills, you must have 1 million Soul Points, as well as allowing the System to detect the existence of any Divine Craft]

Gu Qing Shan placed his hand on the ice crystal again and asked: "Like this?"

[Correct, the ice crystal contains a Divine Craft, so it will fulfill the conditions for upgrading War God Skills]

"Understood, I'll quickly gather the necessary Soul Points"

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan lifted his hand away.

All the notifications on the War God UI disappeared.

Everything returned to normal.

Gu Qing Shan wasn't in much of a hurry to break the ice crystal.

Because the Divine Power inside the crystal was currently sustaining Yun Ji's life.

If I break the crystal without having a way to resuscitate her, that's killing her instead of saving her.

Gu Qing Shan carefully observed the ice crystal.

There was still ample Divine Power in there.

In a short time period, nothing major should happen to Yun Ji.
