Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Looking at the Cards in front of him, Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He separated the four Cards that represented Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind from one another and placed them into a line together with the Inner Plane Cards.

Then he closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

A few moments later.

Once Gu Qing Shan felt that he had adjusted his state to its peak, he reached his hands out and began fusing the Cards.

First, create a foundation for the world with the Elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

He swiftly placed the four Cards together.

This time, the Cards obediently did as he wanted and projected the scene forming the foundation of a world.

Gu Qing Shan then picked up another card and put it on top.

-------this was the [Mind Creation] Unique Card.

This Card would allow Gu Qing Shan to shape the world according to his thoughts.

After this, Gu Qing Shan picked up two more Cards.

Since he wanted the world with an ability to shift between being an illusion and reality, he put both the [Illusory Dream] and [Eye of Reality] Cards together.

As he placed these two Cards on top, the faintly glowing world began to manifest various different images.

The illusory and real-world had been created.

Gu Qing Shan picked up another Card.

----------[Observer of Illusion]

This Card would allow him to observe another person, while also allowing others to feel the illusion and reality that he created.

When everything could be seen and felt, he would be able to pull others into his world or accompany them.

Which would require the power of [The Weave's Embrace] Card.

Gu Qing Shan swiftly put all these Cards together.

Under his control, the Cards perfectly harmonized and slowly formed the scene of a certain world.

------the Suspended world.

As Gu Qing Shan looked at the Suspended world, his thoughts turned.

The world abruptly changed and turned into the Aboul resort hotel.

Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned again.

Following his mind, the world changed into the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.

Success!

Gu Qing Shan slightly gasped.

--------a world created from only Unique Cards, it should be exceptionally rare even within the 900 million World Layers.

And now, I can proceed to the final step.

The final step-----

Gu Qing Shan held his breath and stared at the projection of the world created from Cards.

Under his gaze, the entire world abruptly vanished.

Lines of glowing text swiftly appeared on the War God UI:

[You have created a world using Cards from the Inner Plane]

[You have fused this world together with your Iris Sword and created a small Inner Plane world with its complete set of Laws]

[Your Iris Sword technique has been changed]

[You have created an entirely new World Technique, please name this technique]

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "Aren't there any descriptions of this eye technique?"

A small line of text appeared on the War God UI:

[This is a technique you created, and you don't even know?]

Gu Qing Shan answered very seriously: "Card fusion is supposed to have infinite possibilities, so I really have no idea what kind of technique this is"

Another line of text popped up on the War God UI:

[God knows what kind of ability you created, I've never seen the creation of a World Technique like this before------- you can't expect me to fully understand a newly created technique that had never existed before]

Gu Qing Shan fell silent.

This was a World Technique created using my identity as the Envoy of Condemnation, several Inner Plane Cards as the basis of Law, combined with my [True Soul Clearing Eyes].

-------although I know every step of the process, I still don't understand what kind of ability I've actually created.

Not even the War God System knows.

"Hey, can't you at least give me a hint?" Gu Qing Shan complained.

Another line of text popped up on the War God UI:

[You will need to experiment with and grasp this ability on your own------- also, you need to give this World Technique a name, I must preserve it in the data]

After this line of text appeared, regardless of how Gu Qing Shan asked, the War God UI ignored him.

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh and muttered to himself: "How am I supposed to name an ability that I can't even be sure what it does?"

He took out a spirit energy replenishment pill, swallowed it, and began meditating again.

-------when he escaped from the Measure Tribulation, he used the Heaven sword to knock his own cultivation back down to Three Thousand Worlds realm early stage.

And now, I need to quickly remedy that!

Following this, Gu Qing Shan was fully immersed in advancing his cultivation, when it was time for dinner, he had already reached Three Thousand Worlds realm middle stage again.

-------after all, he had already gone through this process once, there was nothing else for him to comprehend, so all he needed to do was gather and grow his spirit energy reserve.

When he reached Three Thousand Worlds realm middle stage, Gu Qing Shan stopped.

I need to be as careful as I can, no need to advance through my cultivation too rapidly, otherwise, there might be some issues with an unstable foundation.

After all, the Measure Tribulation is still terrifying as it normally is.

Gu Qing Shan stood up, walked to the side of the ship's deck, and looked out towards the endless space vortex.

All sorts of lifeforms and creatures were moving back and forth within the void.

As the Apocalypse approached, the void was becoming more and more lively.

At this point, Laura called out to him from behind:

"Gu Qing Shan, I received some news"

Gu Qing Shan turned around.

Only to see that Laura and Lin had gone to the deck of the ship, currently heading towards him.

"What news?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"It's about the real Ye Fei Li------- my subordinates discovered some traces of his activities" Laura said with a strange look on her face.

"That's strange, he should be back in my homeworld right now, how did your people find him?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Laura then explained what happened to Ye Fei Li.

In truth, there was essentially nothing in the 900 million World Layers that could be hidden from the mighty Bramble Bird royal family.

Information brokerage had always been a profitable business.

And the one thing that the Bramble Birds never lacked was money.

Hearing Laura's explanation, Gu Qing Shan smiled: "It's good that he came. Get your people to escort him to the Bramble Bird Kingdom, it'll be better for us to meet up------- I'm guessing that Zhang Ying Hao would also soon arrive after he receives news of this"

"Are they both your friends?"

"They are, they are also great comrades to have, both went through a lot of things with me"

"If that's the case, I'll have it arranged" saying so, Laura went back down into the ship's cabin.

Gu Qing Shan was in a good mood.

If Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li can fight alongside me again, my pressure would greatly decrease.

Who doesn't hope that they have a few trustworthy comrades by their side?

At this point, Gu Qing Shan noticed Lin's complexion was a bit off.

She seems to be reminiscing about something, while her expression remained calm as always, her eyes showed a hint of sorrow.

Gu Qing Shan looked straight at Lin's eyes, wanting to say something to distract her.

Then, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt something.

---------a certain thought that wasn't his appeared in his mind.

At the same time, the newly created World Technique that hadn't shown any effects up to now could be activated!

Was it because I'm facing Lin's eyes and it accomplished a certain prerequisite that I could activate this technique?

Gu Qing Shan silently thought to himself.

This was a good chance to test this ability out.

He couldn't help but activate this ability and begin the next step of the World Technique-------- conversion between illusion and reality.

A flash.

Lin, the ship, the space vortex, everything vanished from Gu Qing Shan's eyes.

The world had receded away from him.

Emptiness.

And then a world abruptly manifested in front of him without reason or warning.

The sky was burning red.

Billowing smoke was rising far above.

The ground was constantly moving as if it was some sort of living creature.

Gu Qing Shan sensed something and turned his gaze not too far away, immediately noticing Lin.

Lin was wearing a suit of broken armor, kneeling down by a dying girl.

There were corpses all around them.

Human corpses.

"I beg you, please don't die. Endure just a bit longer, the warp tunnel will open very soon" Lin hugged the girl tightly, suppressed her emotions, and begged her in a tiny voice.

Tears were constantly flowing down her face.

The girl struggled to raise her hand and wiped the tears from Lin's cheeks.

"It's useless. We're all going to die, only you managed to adapt to the Abyss, so you will be able to live"

The girl showed a crude smile and spoke.

Lin couldn't hold her tears back any longer.

"This was all because of me, this was because I brought all of you here" she was sobbing.

Saying so, she took out a dagger, wanting to stab her own heart.

The dying girl used the last of her strength to catch Lin's hand.

"Don't blame yourself… Lin. Promise me, don't try to kill yourself, you must persevere"

The girl spat out some blood and continued: "Lin, if you're also dead, then our deaths here would have been completely meaningless"

"Live… for the rest of… us… Live"

The girl's voice slowly weakened.

She was dead.

Lin sat there, frozen for a long while until she abruptly looked up and screamed: "AaaAaAAaaAAH!!!!"

Tears of blood were flowing from her eyes.

Clusters of inexplicable presence gathered from all around, seeping into her body.

Her body slowly began to change.

She had turned into a half-human, half-spider monster!

"I cannot die! I will avenge everyone!"

The world was filled with her cries of despair.

Gu Qing Shan was shocked to witness everything, but before he could react-------

The Abyssal Lin, the scattered corpses, the unknown world, everything vanished from his eyes.

He had instantly returned to his original location.

Gu Qing Shan noticed that he was still standing on the deck of the sail ship, looking at Lin.

As if nothing had changed at all.

Gu Qing Shan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and carefully sensed his surroundings.

Indeed, this is the real world.

It seemed that barely even the blink of an eye had passed.

So what happened just now?

Did I just catch a glimpse of Lin's thoughts, turn it into my own, and manifested it?

What kind of World Technique is this!!!?

No, let's calm down first.

Calm down.

Succeeding a single time doesn't mean anything.

To fully understand what this World Technique could do, I have to try it out a few more times…

At this point, Lin noticed his gaze and asked: "Looking at me like that, do you have something to tell me?"

"No, I'm just thinking that you look like you were concerned about something" Gu Qing Shan replied without changing his expression.

"There weren't any concerns, I was just thinking about something in the past"

Lin calmly answered him.

Gu Qing Shan paused briefly, then tried asking her: "If it's all in the past, why not let it go?"

Lin looked at him and shook her head: "But there are some things that simply can't be let go. They'll always linger in your mind and your heart of your every waking moment, because you know that forgetting them means betraying your own past"

Gu Qing Shan went silent.

Lin walked alone to the rails of on the front of the ship, leaned on it, and watched the endless void outside.

She appeared incredibly lonely.
