Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

The white-haired old man observed Gu Qing Shan's expression.

When he saw that Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows weren't too tightly knitted anymore, he carefully spoke: "As you have asked, I've told you everything I know"

"Please, let me go!"

Saying so, the old man was already moaning and crying a little.

Gu Qing Shan said nothing and just flicked his hand.

The Devil King Warden Rod left the old man's body and was hidden back into the void of space next to Gu Qing Shan.

The old man immediately flew backward.

While flying, he also activated the purple glow

With the power of his Eternal property, the old man returned to life in just one breath's worth of time.

It was now that he showed an expression of relief.

That scepter was too terrifying, it was able to completely dominate me as a dead person.

Only after returning to life did I not feel the despair and dread anymore.

But then-------

Was he really so naïve that he would really let me go?

The old man appeared puzzled and couldn't help himself asking: "Are you really not going to kill me?"

Gu Qing Shan replied: "I always keep to a transaction, since I told you to exchange your life for information, I'm going to hold myself to it"

The old man shook his head: "I really can't believe you would be so naïve, only a dead man can hold a secret. If I survive and report this to the True God, you're never going to get away from them"

"I don't think so at all. In fact, I think only an idiot would use their own death to keep a secret" Gu Qing Shan replied.

"Fool!" the old man shouted.

Oom-------

Intense spirit energy erupted from his body.

In a flash, the old man's hands turned into blurred images as he made a complicated set of hand seals.

The Secret Art had been prepared!

At this very moment, as soon as the old man poured spirit energy into the hand seal, a powerful spell combined with his Thaumaturgy would be unleashed!

"If a fool like you managed to become the sect master of Drifting Moon Immortal Sect, it was inevitable that Drifting Moon Immortal Sect was destroyed!" the old man smirked.

When he wanted to infuse spirit energy, he saw that Gu Qing Shan had already crossed both hands behind his back, casually looking at him.

The old man: "…"

An indescribable feeling started welling up inside his mind.

This piece of shit!

I've already obtained an immortal body.

I've already prepared a powerful technique of absolute destruction.

Why do I not dare attack him when I see him like that?

The old man held himself back again and again, but finally asked: "Standing there like that, are you already prepared to die in my hands?"

Gu Qing Shan replied: "Not at all"

The old man questioned: "Do you really believe I would feel grateful that you let me go just once?"

"That's not it either, I simply feel that with your level of intelligence, you'd be able to see the key point of this matter" Gu Qing Shan replied.

The old man was surprised.

With my level of intelligence…

You shit!

I don't understand anything!!!

The old man felt like going crazy.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan asked: "What is your mission?"

The old man replied: "Of course it's to make Xie Gu Hong bring the twin sword jade tags away"

As soon as he said so, he was stunned.

…oh yeah.

I've already finished the mission that the True God assigned.

Gu Qing Shan replied: "My subordinate is holding your God back in another world, but probably not for much longer, you should probably leave now, I'll be leaving soon as well"

The old man was stunned again.

------that's right, I've already finished the mission, I would be praised by the True God.

But if I tried to fight Zhao Wu Zong here, if I couldn't defeat him-----

Wait a minute!

Zhao Wu Zong is the Drifting Moon Immortal Sect's master, he has countless treasure tools, numerous means, even his cultivation is 1 step higher than mine.

Even if I have an immortal body, it would be very hard to easily defeat him.

The most likely thing to happen is a stalemate.

It would be a very long battle.

At that time, the True God would come here to check the situation-------

And I'm still fighting him.

The True God would definitely catch Zhao Wu Zong themselves.

If the True God asks, how am I going to explain this?

That I was already captured, tortured, and forced to divulge the True God's secrets?

The old man shivered.

No matter what happens, revealing the True God's secret is the heaviest form of betrayal!

The only outcome for a traitor when faced with the Eternal True God is…

The old man couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

That definitely can't happen!

He immediately pulled his hands back and spoke awkwardly: "Then I'll be going first. You should leave soon as well, don't let the True God catch you"

Saying so, the old man stepped on a white cloud pattern on the floor.

Noticing Gu Qing Shan's gaze, he patiently explained: "This is the exit, there's one on every floor, as soon as you pick an item, it will teleport you back to the Desolate world"

"Alright, farewell" Gu Qing Shan briefly clasped his fist.

"You too, farewell" the old man also clasped his fist in return instinctively.

He vanished from this floor.

Right before he disappeared, the old man realized that he had just clasped his fist to greet the other party.

That person… how…

For some reason, a thought suddenly appeared in the old man's mind.

---------I never want to face this sect master Zhao again.

Even if I have to fight to exhaustion for several days, even if I have to climb a mountain of blades or swim through a sea of fire.

I really don't want to meet him again.

…

After the old man left.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand.

Some scattered white hair came off the ground, he carefully placed them inside a pouch before putting it in his Inventory Bag.

Just now, when he used [Dreamjolt] to restrain the old man and the Chao Yin sword to cut off his head, he happened to also cut some of his hair.

At appropriate times, I might be able to use this hair.

Excessive preparation was far better than insufficient preparation.

Gu Qing Shan put everything away and fell into thought.

It turns out the twin swords Heaven and Earth are weapons that came from the Eternal Abyss.

-----and they were only components of some sort of weapon.

It could be said that the Soul Shrieker's plan had already failed.

From what I know, when the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace was destroyed, Xie Gu Hong had Huang Zhan bring the wounded Earth sword away.

But since I entered that fragment of time, I know that only Shen Yang managed to survive out of his three disciples.

Shen Yang brought both the Earth sword and the sleeping Xie Dao Ling into a certain fragment of the Samsara.

-----which later on became the cultivation world.

Shen Yang was probably wounded quite badly during his wrestle with Zhao Kuan, that's why he couldn't pass on all the inheritance of the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.

That's why many of the cultivation world's average standards were so low, they didn't even know many of what used to be considered basics.

As history goes, the Earth sword managed to be passed on and Xie Dao Ling also lived on.

Perhaps the Soul Shrieker never expected that the Divinity's framing would cause the Earth sword to suddenly disappear from the Primordial Heaven Realm.

As for the Heaven sword, it was hidden away by humanity through countless phantom images.

Neither of these swords were easy to find.

------that's why, at the final moments of the Age of old, the twin swords Heaven and Earth weren't stolen away, and they didn't become weapons of the Eternal Abyss.

The Soul Shrieker's plans failed.

But!

However!

I came back through countless years in time, arriving at the Age of Old from the far future.

I came with the Earth sword.

The Heaven sword's hiding place was also slowly being revealed.

This gave the Eternal True God a second chance to steal the twin swords.

Destiny is such a miraculous thing, it can't be explained at all.

Gu Qing Shan scowled and fully focused himself on countermeasures.

It's quite simple to solve this problem.

The Earth sword is already on the verge of breaking.

All I need to do is completely destroy the Earth sword and the Eternal True God's second chance would disappear as well.

Thinking this far, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but shake his head.

All of a sudden, spirit energy began to gather on the platform.

Gu Qing Shan immediately looked back.

'Zhao Wu Zong' appeared inside the warp formation.

Both Zhao Wu Zong faced each other.

---------neither of them were the real Zhao Wu Zong.

"Ah? So fast? Where's that martial cultivator?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"He ran" Shannu said, "when he saw the white-haired old man, both of they immediately ran away"

"Did they say anything?"

"The old man said that 'the mission was over, retreat now', and the martial cultivator quickly left with him"

"Ah, that makes it really simple" Gu Qing Shan replied.

Shannu took out a communication talisman and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.

"This is?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

Shannu replied: "That martial cultivator really wanted me to join them, he was still passionately talking before he had to leave. Maybe he felt regretful so he left me a way to communicate with him"

"Did the old man not say anything?"

"No, he just had a strange look on his face"

"What kind of look?"

"I can't really describe it…" Shannu thought briefly before explaining: "Like a man running in a hurry that suddenly crashed into a wall"

"Ah, I can imagine that" Gu Qing Shan said.

Shannu flew down and stood by Gu Qing Shan, silently glancing at him a few times.

"Gongzi… you don't look too happy, did something happen?"

"Hm"

Gu Qing Shan told her everything.

Shannu went into thought briefly before speaking: "I thought of a way that will make the Soul Shrieker's goal unobtainable"

"What way?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"If the Earth sword is destroyed, then the Soul Shrieker's plan would fail" Shannu lightly told him.

"Fool, we're here to save the Earth sword, not destroy it" Gu Qing Shan replied.

Shannu was a bit anxious: "But this way, when the time comes, gongzi might really have to compete for the twin swords with the Soul Shrieker--------- it's too powerful, I don't have any hope to win"

Gu Qing Shan replied: "But I want to try"

Shannu nervously: "Gongzi, even in our time, even all of the Lord-class Combatants of the united 900 million World Layers weren't a match for it, you really don't have to show off"

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "Shannu, do you know what true situation of despair is?"

Shannu replied: "When the difference in strength is too great?"

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "No, true despair is when you know nothing--------- you don't know the enemy, you don't know any secrets, you don't even know what the situation is. When you know nothing, the only thing you can do is to fight with all of what you have, unable to come up with even a simple strategy"

"But now that we've found a lot of information, we've even seen the Soul Shrieker fight with our own eyes, our chances of victory have only increased"

"I won't let the Earth sword die, I swear"

"In the end, even the Heaven sword will be mine, I won't give that True God any chance at all"

Hearing him, Shannu finally calmed down.

If gongzi says that our chances of victory are increasing, then it must be.

If gongzi says that the Earth sword wouldn't die, then the Earth sword wouldn't die.

In the end, I didn't need to worry about anything, I just had to be gongzi's sword
