Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

819 Setting Off

The Primordial Heaven Realm.

The Sky Beyond Heaven.

The Grand Divine Palace.

The figure of light was silently waiting inside the audience hall without moving.

Luo Bing Li pretended to be busy crafting the jade disk.

Shannu was pretending to be the God of Frost and Chill, sitting high on the divine throne as she carefully thought about what to do.

It had been almost a week since both the previous Divine King and God of Frost and Chill died.

According to the Law of the Divine Race, about a day and a half later, a new Divinity would be born.

With that in mind, Shannu was feeling a bit anxious.

I'm glad I can use all of gongzi's abilities.

Don't be anxious, don't be nervous!

She was encouraging herself.

Calm down, according to gongzi's arrangements, I'll have to prepare for when the new Divinity is born.

First I'll act surprised.

Then recall the Divinities who recently died.

Then suddenly remember that Golden Flame had also just died.

Ask the figure of light a certain question--------- what would happen if a Divinity who came from the future died in the past.

The figure of light would definitely not know the answer to that, since it never happened before.

After that, I'll be using that unique skill.

------acting.

With gongzi's acting skills, I'll guide the conversation with the figure of light to make it seem like we both arrived at the same answer:

If a Divinity who came from the future died here, they would speed up the process of a new Divinity's birth.

Acting skills…

Thinking about this unique skill, Shannu couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.

Gongzi's acting is so natural that he causes others to be unable to help themselves being swept along with his flow and rhythm.

I can use his acting skills, but this is nothing like using his attacking abilities, this skill requires a lot of personal talent and aura.

Yes, I can act like gongzi and use his acting skills.

But I simply can't replicate his facial expressions, his choice of words, his delivery and his demeanor.

Seriously.

It's like gongzi is a natural-born swindler.

Thinking that, Shannu almost couldn't help herself chuckling.

That's not quite right either.

Gongzi has done so many great things and struggled against so many powerful enemies that even if he didn't have his acting skills, he would've been able to come up with other solutions.

Yes, gongzi would exploit everything he could to achieve his goal and not simply rely on his acting skills.

While she was thinking, the figure of light suddenly moved.

"What is the matter?" Shannu asked.

「 Your Divine Majesty, I suddenly recall a certain renowned historical event 」the figure of light answered.

"Which event?" Shannu asked again.

「 It is nothing much. It's a matter related to the Chaos Demonic Sea, something that would cause many evil creatures to die in the next few days. But Gu Qing Shan is currently staying in the Xie Qi Fiend Realm so he shouldn't be affected by it 」the figure of light replied.

Shannu lightly sighed in relief and said: "Then that is no concern to us"

…

Gu Qing Shan was sensing an uneasy feeling.

The strength of a cultivator's spirit sense varied from person to person, some couldn't even tell what would happen the very next day, while others were able to clearly see a vision of the recent future.

Xie Dao Ling was able to see the signs of her own death, which was changed thanks to Gu Qing Shan.

And Gu Qing Shan's spirit sense wasn't any less sensitive than his Shifu's.

Currently, he was standing on a beach outside of the cathedral, sensing an indescribable wariness towards the ocean.

It was almost the second day already.

There was only a minute left until the expedition set out.

"Death?"

Gu Qing Shan whispered to himself.

His spirit sense was clearly reacting.

His heartbeat was growing faster uncontrollably for no reason.

Within his delirium, a dark region seemed to have appeared on the surface of the ocean as a faint image gradually manifested in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.

Gu Qing Shan saw himself completely soaked as he staggered towards a certain direction, then------

Xiu!

All of a sudden, a white figure flew out from his Inventory Bag and danced back and forth in front of his face.

The vision he received from this spirit sense vanished instantly.

Gu Qing Shan regained his senses.

The blue ocean was still calm, there wasn't a single cloud within ten thousand miles, and the sky was completely clear.

The prediction he was about to make was interrupted.

Everything vanished and returned to normal.

"Tch… what is it again? You just interrupted me, you know?"

Gu Qing Shan asked in irritation.

But the white jade gourd simply replied with a cautious 'wu wu' that asked him for more Soul Points.

Gu Qing Shan had no choice.

Even now he didn't know what the jade gourd's abilities [Borrowing Wonder], [Hundred Lanterns] and [Spotless Jade] actually did.

But he could already confirm that it was indeed a Soul Artifact of the Bygone Era.

Hah, but I have to raise it more before I can use it.

Gu Qing Shan could only catch the jade gourd pendant and pour Soul Points into it.

"Is that enough this time?"

Gu Qing Shan asked.

The jade gourd pendant uttered a satisfied 'Xiu', went back into his Inventory Bag, and fell silent again.

Gu Qing Shan scanned through with his inner sight.

Yup, it's sleeping again.

I just gave it 3000 Soul Points and it fell right back to sleep just like that?

This is already the 3rd time I gave it Soul Points.

Show some use already, would you?

"I just hope it's not just a bottomless pit"

Gu Qing Shan helplessly sighed and shook his head.

At this point, two guards walked up to Gu Qing Shan.

「 The ship is about to sail, Xie Qi Ruler, the master has prepared slaughter targets for you to satisfy the activation prerequisite of your ability 」one guard told him.

"Where are they?" Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.

「 On the ship, the kitchen 」the guard answered.

"…Alright"

Gu Qing Shan leapt and flew towards the ship together with the guards.

--------it was a giant sailboat that lazily docked on the shore of the Chaos Demonic Sea, even without the sails it was easily as big as an entire city.

In fact, the Rusty Stain Bar, the Lava Cathedral as well as some other structures were brought in their entirety onto this ship.

And this ship was about to set off.

Before the Lord of Total Distortion gave his orders, no one would know where the ship was going to head this time.

And Gu Qing Shan didn't care that much, he simply followed the guard into the kitchen of the ship.

「 Sir Ruler, we're here. All the sea creatures here are going to be used as food for today since we're a bit pressed for time, please go ahead and do it as soon as you can 」the guard told him.

Gu Qing Shan looked into the kitchen as he stood next to the guard.

An inland lake.

Indeed, the kitchen itself was a large lake that was separated from the Chaos Demonic Sea.

That way, the freshness of the cooking ingredients could be assured.

Two rows of fiends and devils arrived in front of Gu Qing Shan.

「 These are the ship's kitchen staff 」the guard introduced him.

"Oh? They're the ones responsible for everyone's food?" Gu Qing Shan asked, a bit interested.

「 No, they are responsible for the master's food, it doesn't matter whether or not the other fiends and devils eat. They won't die of starvation by not eating for a few days anyways 」the guard replied.

Gu Qing Shan looked at him: "You don't eat anything either?"

The guard answered him: 「 I can simply go into the ocean and catch something for myself 」

One of the chefs stepped forward: 『 Sir Xie Qi Ruler, cooking was supposed to be left entirely to us, but since the master has ordered so, we will wait until you finish killing them to prepare the dishes 』

"I see, then I've inconvenienced you a bit" Gu Qing Shan said apologetically.

Hearing his words, the cooks' expressions became less grim.

Gu Qing Shan walked up to the lake and said: "Since we don't have much time, I'll begin my work now"

His thoughts turned a bit.

700 flying swords appeared from the void of space behind him.

The flying swords scattered and surrounded the entire lake.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered to himself: "I never thought there would be a day when I would use a Sword Array to prepare seafood"

As he muttered, the Sword Array was triggered!

…

Half an hour later.

The main banquet hall.

Only the most powerful evil creatures gathered here, all of them standing on either side of the Lord of Total Distortion, looking at their master with nothing but respect.

The Lord of Total Distortion himself was sitting on his throne and slowly enjoyed his meal.

A total of 935 dishes were prepared on the extremely long dining table.

The Lord of Total Distortion casually picked out the dishes he liked and enjoyed all sorts of precious delicacies.

All the evil creatures here remained completely silent, all of them were being careful not to make a single sound.

---------during the master's meal, if someone dared said anything, they would be shoved directly into the walls of the cathedral.

Naturally, if that evil creature had a famously delicious delicacy on their body, that part would be removed by the chef before they get shoved into the walls.

The only one allowed to say anything was the Lord of Total Distortion's secretary.

「 Master, it is now the time that you decided 」 the secretary reminded him.

The Lord of Total Distortion paused briefly and ordered: 『 Set sail 』

「 Understood 」

The secretary answered and gestured with her eyes toward one of the evil creatures.

That evil creature turned into a gust of wind and vanished from the hall.

Hoh hoh hoh---------

The sound of the howling wind bellowed.

The gigantic sails of the ship were gradually raised.

The sails quickly became inflated.

And the ship started to move.

It was like a mobile marine city.
