Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1532: Formulator of Void Criterions

[Warning:]

[The Reality Gate had been completely opened]

[Countless Apocalypses and fragments of the Samsara are about to descend]

[The Awaitings had begun to enter the Reality Gate!]

Gu Qing Shan’s heart instantly became heavy as he sweated.

“That can’t be right, following normal history, both the Apocalypses and the Awaitings should have only entered the Reality Gate during Boss’ peak of power, why did this happen so far ahead of time?” he hurriedly asked.

Perhaps knowing that it was an urgent situation, the War God UI immediately replied: [Do you still remember what happened after you regressed? Every calamity you remembered had occurred ahead of time——— as long as someone or something that didn’t originally exist within a period of history, everything would be changed around that variable, which is what’s currently occurring]

[The agreement between Reneedol and the void monsters occurred prematurely, the Apocalypses occurred prematurely, the Reality Gate also opened prematurely, all of these key factors had interacted to create the true calamity——]

[—–History is going out of control; everything is beginning to be destroyed. You must quickly ensure that everything remains how they originally were, otherwise, everything that took place within the River of Time would also change!]

Gu Qing Shan looked around.

The void of space was breaking to display visions of countless history, but they all quickly went dim and turned into darkness.

These are visions of countless worlds—-

I clearly recognize some of them to be worlds in the future, but they very unrealistically appeared at this point in time.

Countless thoughts rushed through Gu Qing Shan’s mind, but he was still very confused on what to do.

To ensure everything remains how they originally were, easier said than done!

How would I be able to achieve this by myself?

Suddenly, all the unnatural phenomena disappeared, returning the world to normal.

Another line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Someone had acted, but he can only delay the destruction, not resolve the root of the issue]

Who?

Could it be...

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to observe the entire frozen world.

In the sky, Scarlet and Little Dusk were still fighting against the two Deities of Fate.

Scarlet was struggling a bit, having to rely on the power boost from drinking liquor in order to hold her own against Clotho.

On the other hand, Little Dusk was evenly matched against Atropos, neither of them being able to truly finish off the other.

Under the aid of the featureless humanoid face, the swarm of insects and apocalyptic monsters were gradually winning against the Abyssal monsters and [Human Regiment]

Although Reneedol still couldn’t move, she now had five powerful entities helping her.

——–void monsters from the Space Vortex!

One of the monsters who had taken over the body of a Deity spoke with a hoarse voice: 「 Leave that human girl with the flames of Death to me 」

Its figure immediately flashed and moved towards Scarlet.

Gu Qing Shan immediately called out: “Shannu, go help Scarlet!”

“Yes!”

Shannu appeared from the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and wielded it to chase the monster.

Gu Qing Shan’s call drew the attention of those monsters.

One of the Deity corpses spoke:

「 This human hides a World Technique within his eye, very suitable to my tastes—— leave him to me 」

It looked at Gu Qing Shan.

Instantly, Gu Qing Shan vanished.

The other three Deities discussed among themselves:

『 A World Technique within his eye? 』

「 How unusual, but if it had decided to act, he would not survive 」

「 Only one remains 」

They turned to Boss.

Boss took out a canned drink from behind him and crushed it.

The fluid inside flew out in a stream straight into his mouth.

“Come, I’ve regained my powers now”

He wielded the black trident in one hand and the Book of Prophesized in the other, casually stating.

From the ground below, a frigid presence surged forward to envelope him.

『 Be careful, he is the overseer of that corpse 』the Matriarch of Myriad Earths muttered.

The other two Deity corpses nodded.

...

Gu Qing Shan suddenly found himself inside a completely empty world.

For him, this was a very familiar feeling.

“A World Technique?” he muttered.

A voice spoke up from the void of space:

「 Good guess, this is the Casino of Life and Death technique—— and you’re going to die 」

A large scale appeared out of nowhere.

Gu Qing Shan noticed that he was standing on one side of the scale, while the other side was empty.

“How sorry, but I don’t have time to play around with you” Gu Qing Shan coldly declared and drew the Earth sword.

「 Tsk tsk tsk, but that’s useless. I’ve already bet my life, no one will be able to prevent the gamble from starting 」the voice replied.

Gu Qing Shan instantly noticed flashes of light appeared around to restrain him on the side of the scale.

At the same time.

A treasure chest suddenly appeared on the other side of the scale.

As soon as the treasure chest appeared, the scale slowly began to tilt.

Gu Qing Shan’s side was slowly moving up.

While the other side was sinking down.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes lit up, instinctively realizing some sort of danger.

The voice then began to mock him:

「 Regarding the rules of this gamble—— I’m not going to tell you! 」

「 Curse your luck for running into me, the most unreasonable in the void, because there’s nothing else you can do 」

「 Now die 」

The voice then disappeared after saying that.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the other side of the scale.

——the treasure chest contained a shining plate of armor.

Could it be weight?

But then again, I don’t need to guess for something like this.

“War God UI” he silently called out.

Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:

[You’ve been inflicted by the World Technique: Casino of Life and Death]

[This technique is a Causality World Technique; all of its rules had been determined by the owner of the technique]

[The rules of this gamble are as follows:]

[Both sides will bet their lives]

[The side with more wealth will survive]

Gu Qing Shan read these words in surprise.

——-he couldn’t help but put the Earth sword away and casually fixed his hair.

“I have a question” he asked.

「 Go ahead, but I won’t necessarily answer 」the voice replied, full of malice.

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and asked: “You were supposed to be a monster from the void, but there shouldn’t be anything at all in the voice, so where did you get this blindingly shiny armor?”

「 Bahahaha, I’ll gladly answer that one. I frequently wander near the Reality Gate, and occasionally a treasure or two would drift in through the gaps of the Gate. Other than that, I would also head to the Dusty World every once in a while to test my luck 」

The voice then declared full of delight: 「 In short, you bugs who live your entire lives on the sealed corpse would never be richer than I am 」

“Is that—— soooo~?”

Gu Qing Shan slowly moved the Bramble Bird ring on his finger.

Clakkkkkkkkk!!!

Beautiful, colorful, filled with the smell of wealth, glittering in cold, shining in silver, blinding in every other kind of light——- in short, treasures filled the entire empty world.

The scale on Gu Qing Shan’s side was instantly tilted back.

The entire empty world began to collapse.

Faintly, a desperate howl could be heard:

「 Why... didn’t I even have the time to put in more treasures... 」

「 That’s not fair! 」

With unwillingness to accept the truth, the voice slowly faded away.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly called out: “Oy, can you at least tell me if the other monsters know this technique?”

His voice echoed throughout the world without getting any answer for a while.

He had no choice but to shrug and muttered: “Alright, it’s already very fortunate for me to get kill one of them this way, no need to be greedy”

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

[—–You’ve skipped over the second void monster: Matriarch of Myriad Earths and killed the third void monster: Formulator of Void Criterions]

[Note: the Formulator of Void Criterions was supposed to be one of the most headache-inducing targets among the five monsters, originally a nigh-impossible task to accomplish, but it was so stupid as to compete in wealth against the sugar baby of a certain Empress of Wealth, so it embarked on a path of certain death of its own accord]

[Conclusion: It died a death as light as a feather]

[Like stated above, you killed it without shedding so much as a single sweat]

[You obtained 300 million Soul Points]

[The path to Void War God had been adjusted to the third stage:]

[You must find the third void monster: Matriarch of Myriad Earths]

[Attention, this is a sovereign among the monsters of the void, the nemesis of the void Earth God]

[Eliminate it] historical

[Note: You’ve killed two among the five targets for the mission. Three more targets until you’ll earn the Title: Void War God]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through.

The empty world around him had almost completely disappeared.

Suddenly, an immense pulling force appeared out of nowhere, caught Gu Qing Shan, then took him away from this vanishing world.

Gu Qing Shan’s body was pulled through the void towards a certain distant direction.

His speed reached the absolute limit but still managed to nimbly avoid all the Samsara fragments that had been scattered into the void and went directly into a certain barren world.

Numerous black skeletons were moving aimlessly on the ground.

Occasionally, a new black skeleton would appear from the ground and join the others.

A towering bronze pillar sat in the middle of the entire world, on which a giant black corpse was pinned.

As soon as Gu Qing Shan entered this world, the giant corpse’s voice resounded in his mind:

“I’ve temporarily put everything around the Reality Gate into stasis, but that won’t continue for very long”

“Gu Qing Shan, there is not enough time, if you cannot ensure that history remains the same, I won’t be able to maintain the history around the Reality Gate, all civilizations within the River of Time will be completely destroyed and everyone will die!”

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “What should I do now?”

To ensure that history remains the same, this was originally my goal, as well as the key to obtaining the sixth Sealing Token.

But Reneedol had completely turned against Boss, not to mention she had gained unparalleled strength, leading to a do-or-die situation between them.

She had even summoned several powerful void monsters.

——and she held the Apocalypse in her hands.

Both sides were currently locked in intense combat.

How would I be able to ensure that everything returns to its original course?

The giant corpse replied: “The majority of my power is being used to stall time around the Reality Gate, there is very little that I would be able to help you with——-”

“Gu Qing Shan, you only have three minutes left”

“After three minutes, if everything had not returned to their original course in history, it would all be over!”
