Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1752 An unknown place

The Human realm, Luo Shui city.

A small alleyway.

The Green Building.

Two uninvited guests had made their way in front of its closed doors.

“Finally... we’ve found the place” one person commented

“That’s right, according to the divination results, the world’s best as well as second best diviner both reside here!” the other exclaimed.

The two human cultivators both appeared excited.

One of them held his fists tightly: “As we discussed, no matter how hard they try to chase us away, we should still refuse to leave!”

The other clenched his teeth and nodded: “That’s right, even if the two experts use whips to try and chase us away, we shall still insist on remaining here until they agree to be our masters and teach us their divination methods”

“That’s right, big bro, we will definitely never give up!”

“Hm, lil’ bro, we must learn it no matter what!”

After psyching themselves up, the two knocked on the door. historical

“Excuse me, is anyone there?” one of them asked.

Creek—-

Unexpectedly, the doors weren’t locked and opened without trouble.

A lazy voice sounded from inside the main hall:

“What business do the two of you have here?”

The two people both looked inside while standing at the door.

They saw something that they wouldn’t forget for the rest of their lives.

One of them couldn’t help but asked: “Sir, what are you——“

“Cultivating, can’t you see?” Qin Xiao Lou couldn’t help but reply.

He then clenched his buttocks, trying to squeeze the chopstick a bit tighter to make sure that a certain accident didn’t occur due to him talking.

Both people at the door were cultivators of high caliber, so they naturally sensed and understood what his tiny movements were meant to do.

“Do you really have to cultivate that way?” one person couldn’t help but asked.

Qin Xiao Lou puffed up his chest and answered with a stern expression: “This is an advanced secret cultivation method, and there’s no need for us cultivators to fear such difficulties in our cultivation. Alright, now talk, what are you here for?”

The two of them stared blankly at him and remained silent for a long while.

One of them suddenly said: “...Ah, we don’t actually have any business...”

The other quickly followed up: “That’s right, we just entered the wrong place, my apologies...”

“Then hurry up and leave!” Qin Xiao Lou waved at them with his hand.

Slam!

The doors immediately closed again.

The two people stood silently in front of the closed doors and remained there for another long while.

“Big bro, I don’t feel like studying first-rate divination methods anymore...”

“I... as well...”

At another location.

After passing through the Elements Purgatory, at an unknown location.

A dark spot appeared in the sky.

It was Gu Qing Shan.

He was descending towards the ground like a falling star with Ye Ru Xi in his arms.

——-as soon as the Sequence initiated its elimination process, he felt like he heard numerous screams filled with pain and fear at the same time.

Immediately as that occurred, the giant bronze arm also vanished and Ye Ru Xi fell unconscious.

Seeing how fast they were descending, Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to take out the divine sword fragment and equip it as a gauntlet again.

After a strike at himself.

His descent started to slow down.

“Sequence, what’s going to happen to her after we eliminate the parasitic (Chaos]?”

Gu Qing Shan observed Ye Ru Xi with a bit of concern.

(She will retain her natural talents and abilities, unaffected by us] the Sequence replied.

“That’s good—– right, what are the results of the elimination?” Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.

(Their biggest mistake was to become parasites within a Sequence, as their lives are perfectly within my control]

“So they’re all dead?”

[Correct, I’m currently absorbing their immense amount of energy to prepare for your Apocalyptic powers to evolve] the Sequence explained.

“I’ve troubled you” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He looked back at Ye Ru Xi in his arms.

She’s still unconscious, but she has finally escaped from those fellows and will never fall under their influence ever again.

Gu Qing Shan looked around.

Then, what should I do now?

—-or rather, I should ask what is this place?

There was nothing as far as his eyes could see in every direction, the only thing that he could sense was the faraway horizon.

There wasn’t anything at all in this place.

“I clearly went through the entire Elements Purgatory... so there was another sky below the ground...?”

Gu Qing Shan silently felt surprised and began to head in a random direction.

Not too long later.

He stopped.

About ten meters from where he stood, there was a large deep hole.

——this was the hole from which the giant bronze arm had exited earlier, carrying Gu Qing Shan and Ye Ru Xi with it to the sky.

Gu Qing Shan gently placed Ye Ru Xi on the ground while he crouched down at the edge of the hole to take a look below.

It was completely dark.

Some faint wind could be felt blowing up towards him.

——-the wind contained weak traces of the mutated Five Elements, proving that the Elements Purgatory was indeed located in the ground below him.

Gu Qing Shan silently stood there sensing it for a while before looking up.

There was a vast open sky above him.

——there was both the sky and the ground here.

“I’ve never heard of it...”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

——–this unknown location was completely unheard of, even the evil creatures he met up with before had never heard of an entirely different world below the Elements Purgatory.

This is completely unexpected.

—-the combined power of 25 Awaitings of [Chaos].

They unexpectedly went all the way through the Elements Purgatory to enter this unknown world.

If I follow this hole through the Elements Purgatory and continue heading upwards again, I’ll return to the other ‘surface’, which is the Human realm.

“Then, the Elements Purgatory is sandwiched in between two separate worlds... Why does this structure seem a bit like... some sort of meat burger?”

Gu Qing Shan thought to himself.

He was feeling a bit hungry.

—-but this is not the time to eat.

After all, the situation was so out of the ordinary that it might be related to some sort of secret of the Samsara.

And secrets are always the most precious. Silently gazing down the bottomless hole, Gu Qing Shan gradually felt more interested.

Regardless of what I do, I’ll need a bit more power...

“Sequence, help me equip the Title: [Pure Love Gang]”

Lines of bloody red text appeared:

[Title equipped]

[Activating Title Skill: Going Cold)

[Choosing between abilities of the Pure Love Gang’s members]

[You may choose one displayed ability from members who had been summoned before]

Gu Qing Shan said:

“I want to choose the frozen corpse and temporarily gain his power: (Seeding Silence]”

The bloody red text paused briefly before displaying again:

[Choice unavailable!)

[You have chosen this ability before, so it will temporarily become unavailable]

[You may only choose this ability again once you’ve resummoned the frozen corpse and only after he has redisplayed this ability]

Gu Qing Shan shrugged, but still felt a bit regretful.

—–how great would it have been if I could keep using the frozen corpse’s ability?

He sighed, then began to make some considerations.

I’ve used [Moon Invitation) a total of 6 times.

The first time I used it, I summoned Liu Xing——-

Let’s not take that skirt-chaser into account.

(Pure Love Gang) only began to take shape after I summoned Ye Fei Li.

The only members in it so far are Ye Fei Li, Zhang Ying Hao, Shroud, and Ye Ru Xi.

The abilities Ye Fei Li displayed were flight and his canned drinks.

Zhang Ying Hao had displayed the black cat.

I’ve used Shroud’s Apocalypse ability already, so I can’t choose it again.

Ye Ru Xi——-

The ability she showed was the uncontrollable power of (Chaos).

Should I choose her ability?

—–no, I can’t.

Regardless of how strong an ability is, it’s no different from a ticking time bomb if I can’t keep it under control.

The Samsara had only just reset, which means it’s currently at its weakest.

If I somehow manage to cause too much damage, my Chosen Saint qualifications might be stripped away by the Samsara and I might be kicked out.

If that happened, I wouldn’t even be able to cry about it.

So let’s skip Ye Ru Xi.

The only other choices are Zhang Ying Hao’s searching ability and Ye Fei Li’s flight.

Flight... let’s skip that too.

Gu Qing Shan looked down at his fist.

With a single thought, the gauntlet disassembled itself into a few dozen pieces before reforming into a sword fragment and falling into his hand.

I have a method to mimic flying.

Then the only choice left is the black cat.

But I need to feed the black cat——

Touching the bag hanging on his waist, Gu Qing Shan felt perfectly confident.

Before he left, Qin Xiao Lou had provided him with a lot of ingredients as well as ready-made dishes that he had prepared.

There should be enough to make any normal dishes and desserts.

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan spoke: “I choose Zhang Ying Hao’s Mystic-type ability, (Summon Black Cat]”

Lines of bloody text appeared following his words:

[Choice confirmed!)

[Attention, this is an extremely rare sentient searching ability, you will temporarily gain access to it and suffer a certain degree of torture]

Before the notifications finished showing, Gu Qing Shan could already feel a prickling pain all over his body, almost like he was being stabbed by a thousand needles.

He didn’t even twitch.

——compared to the pain from (Seeding Silence), this much was nothing.

Gu Qing Shan took a few steps back, then crouched down and knocked on the ground with his hand.

“Come out, precious”

He called.

Two breaths’ worth of time later.

A deep round hole silently opened up on the ground.

A purely black cat poked its head out from the hole, looked at Gu Qing Shan, and then gently called out to him.

Hearing it, Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: “Ah, yeah, Ying Hao isn’t here today, I’m taking you out to play by myself”

The black cat jumped out from the hole, shook its body, and then walked close to Gu Qing Shan’s leg.

Meow meow meow meow meow.

The black cat called out again.

“Oh? So you want some broiled fish today?” Gu Qing Shan asked with some interest.

Meow!

“It’s going to be quite spicy, can you handle spicy food?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Meow meow meow!

The black cat waved dismissively with its paw.

“Just a little bit spicy is ok? Alright, it’ll be quick” Gu Qing Shan rolled up his sleeves. Very quickly. The broiled fish was ready.

After having its fill, the black cat called out to Gu Qing Shan with a satisfied tone.

“Ah, what do I want to search for? Right, what do I want to search for...?” Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

Meow?

“I want to find... this world’s secret”

Hearing him, the black cat’s expression became solemn.

It looked around, displaying a look of focus that one only possessed during a hunt.

After a long while.

The black cat pointed in a certain direction with its paw.

Meow meow!

“That way?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Meow!

“Alright, let’s go!”

The black cat began leading the way while Gu Qing Shan followed closely behind it with Ye Ru Xi on his back.

They slowly proceeded through the barren land towards the secret of the unknown location.
