Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 958: World [Order]

There was a gigantic tower that reached all the way to the sky in this corpse of a parallel world.

The Grand Tower of the Wizards.

It recorded the entirety of this world’s known knowledge.

Including humanity’s own progression over time. historical

Gu Qing Shan hovered outside the Grand Tower, releasing his spirit energy.

Thanks to [Conversion], the people of this world didn’t recognize the power he was giving off as spirit energy, but rather pure and boundless white holy light.

Almost instantly, almost a dozen Wizards emerged from the tower and flew up to greet him.

Out of respect, they didn’t hover at the same position as Gu Qing Shan but one step lower.

The chairman of the Wizardry Association——- the white-haired wizard who came to the scene of the giant ravine, led the wizards and bowed to Gu Qing Shan.

“Venerable God, it is a great honor and surprise of our Wizardry Association to be graced with your presence” the old wizard spoke up first.

“Stop” Gu Qing Shan smiled, “Spare me the theatrics, I know that you lot hold no affection for anything except the truth of the world”

The old wizard froze, causing what he was about to say next to be caught in his throat.

It’s almost like God is strolling in our stomachs.

—-but can you not say it that way?

How am I supposed to respond to that?

Gu Qing Shan didn’t care about his reaction and continued: “I’m here to look at the knowledge you’ve accumulated”

The old wizard hurriedly said: “Omnipotent, omniscient God, what kind of knowledge do you need? I will have our people prepare them”

Gu Qing Shan silently chuckled.

This old fox’s words are full of implications, while he’s praising me as omnipotent and omniscient, he’s also berating me.

——aren’t you the omnipotent and omniscient God? Why do you need to look at our knowledge?

Gu Qing Shan didn’t care to refute him or to kill weaker people just to show off his magnificence.

He simply replied: “I need all the knowledge regarding human supernatural Professions”

“Understood, we will prepare them right away” the old wizard respectfully replied.

Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded before standing still in midair.

The old wizard brought his subordinates back into the Grand Tower, compiled and reorganized the records they have of human Professions, finally ending with over 1300 volumes.

He hesitated a bit but didn’t use magic to gather all these records into one magic tome.

—–in reality, wizards had quite a few ways to gather specialized knowledge into a magic tome of knowledge.

“Sir”

A wizard behind him tried to remind him in a low voice.

The old wizard shook his head and gestured to him not to say anything.

For the last 20 years, their association’s research of God had stagnated.

This was the best chance they had to probe and see if this God had any other abilities.

The old wizard used magic to slowly carry these 1300 volumes of books out from the tower.

“O’ God above, these are all the knowledge regarding human Professions, please take a look” the old wizard told him.

He pointed to the 1300 books floating in the air behind him.

Gu Qing Shan nodded and swiftly formed a Telekinesis hand seal.

In front of him, the 1300 books stood up to form a giant wall, neatly lined up and flipped through each page one by one.

The books were displaying their content to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and memorized all of it.

The old wizard and the other wizards exchanged glances.

This method wasn’t particularly hard, some higher-leveled wizards would be able to do the same.

God wasn’t omnipotent or omniscient, and the way he obtained knowledge wasn’t particularly special.

Then, where exactly was the limit of God’s power?

They were silently musing this.

Gu Qing Shan silently absorbed all this knowledge and quickly understood everything about the levels, powers, and categorization of Professions in this world.

First of all, the main Professions in this world consists of Divine Caster, Knight, Hunter, Wizard, and Sorcerer.

The way to train these Professions and their power levels were also not the same.

Each Profession had its own subsets of schools, and the abilities they had were also very different.

Strange, varied, and disorganized.

This description perfectly matched the state of these Professions.

During their recordings, the wizards have tried to unify these Professions into a single comprehensive guide, but many Professions have their own core secrets that couldn’t be revealed to other Professions.

Furthermore, the wizards didn’t want to anger every Profession and become the public enemy of the world.

In the end, the wizards could only record the general powers, characteristics and growth cycle of each Profession through their observations.

Even they can’t pry into the core secrets of every Profession.

Gu Qing Shan stood still in the air and fell into thought.

The old wizard stood respectfully to one side, silently observing him.

After a while.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly spoke to the void of space:

“To win against [Chaos], or rather, to use [Chaos] to trigger a stable growth in this world, I will need to do some arrangements”

“First of all, regarding supernatural humans——- while they can wield the world’s supernatural powers, don’t allow them to arbitrarily access it”

As soon as he said this, the entire world changed drastically.

The remnant will of the world heeded his request!

The wizards standing next to him suddenly found themselves losing all of their mana.

“Ah——”

“Help me!”

“What’s going on!?”

They were desperately screaming as they fell from the sky.

These great people who could easily shake the world with a stomp of their foot were about to fall unceremoniously to their deaths.

Gu Qing Shan obviously noticed this.

He immediately added: “They’re still useful, they can’t die yet”

As the wizards were just about to come into contact with the ground, they found their mana completely returning to them.

They hurriedly released their powers to stabilize their fall and landed on the ground.

The old wizard staggered a bit before being able to stand up straight again.

He looked at the man in the sky with a wide-opened mouth, unable to say a single word.

He completely stripped me of all my powers with a single statement.

This is——

Completely preposterous!

Seeing how everyone was fine, Gu Qing Shan continued:

“The naturally occurring supernatural powers in the world can’t be wielded arbitrarily by living beings, but needs to be divided up into stages”

“Only by dividing it into stages would everything have a stable and clear structure to them, this is the most basic [Order]”

“By dividing supernatural power up into many stages from shallow to deep, Professionists would be able to tell exactly where they are and understand the difference between them and other people. This would further rouse their desires to rise and improve themselves”

“We can name the same stages different ways for each Profession, for example, wizards corresponding to the Magic Weave, this would allow them to understand the will of the world more easily”

“The different levels of supernatural powers would correspond to the level of power of Professionists”

“Whenever their understanding of their power becomes deep enough or fulfills a certain condition, they would qualify to obtain supernatural power of a deeper level”

“And the condition I mentioned before would be your authority—– you can tell them what they need to do in order to obtain further power—— yes, think of it as a specialized mission that will allow them to obtain the power of the world”

“This specialized mission will be to fight against [Chaos]”

“Every Professionist in the world will have to go up against [Chaos] to become stronger, they would be both citizens of the world as well as its protectors”

“You can judge based on how they perform within this mission to bestow them more power——- or some other kind of gifts. For example, some treasures hidden within the world, rare materials, unique abilities— or perhaps even lifespan”

“This way, we would form a world [Order]”

“[Chaos] cannot be thoroughly destroyed, but when Professionists of the world use your world [Order] to go up against [Chaos], both sides would come to an equilibrium, perhaps even greatly weakening [Chaos], pushing the world to develop and grow stronger”

“This is my solution!”

Gu Qing Shan finished his explanation.

Ooo—– ooooom—– uuuu——–

The consecutive and low rumble of thunder resounded across the sky.

After listening to his explanation, a blurry but indescribable will was answering something.

Gu Qing Shan sensed the urging intention among the thunder and replied: “That’s true, I forgot about that. Wait after I remove this [Chaos] before resuming the world simulation”

“Very well, let us see how it will turn out in the end”

Gu Qing Shan’s figure flashed and vanished from in front of the Grand Tower.

The wizards floated in midair, completely stunned by Gu Qing Shan’s words.

They were unable to understand what he meant.

But that didn’t stop them from feeling its effects.

“Sir! Sir!” one of the wizards called out.

The old wizard replied: “No need to tell me, I can sense it”

He had already felt the change of supernatural powers in the world.

Their power really had been divided into stages!

“How many stages of power can you control?” the old wizard asked his attendant.

The attendant sensed it for a bit and replied: “I can only go up to the 4th stage, after that I couldn’t go any further——- sir, what exactly just happened?”

The old wizard sighed with a complicated look in his eyes: “With just a few words, he completely changed the power structure of the world”

He said in despair: “The knowledge we’ve obtained so far is no longer valuable. In the end, from now on, we only need to study the words that God spoke just now in order to grasp the most basic knowledge of the world”

“But sir, isn’t that what the Church usually does?”

The old wizard said nothing.

The other wizards also fell to silence.

...

On the other side.

Gu Qing Shan had returned on top of the barren mountain.

With Shannu here to watch over everything, there was nothing to fear.

Gu Qing Shan nodded to Shannu and took out the Heaven sword from the void of space again.

Luo Bing Li’s voice came from the Heaven sword: “When I wake up, you’re going shopping with me”

“No problem, I’ll pay for everything” Gu Qing Shan promised.

“Hm, good”

Luo Bing Li replied in satisfaction.

Gu Qing Shan slowly walked up to the boy’s dead body.

A faint slash appeared.

[Chaotic Flow] activated!

The boy suddenly jumped back up from the ground.

“Don’t kill me!”

He screamed furiously and desperately, but then suddenly stopped.

Huh?

I’m... still alive?

What exactly happened?

The boy was completely stunned.

Gu Qing Shan put the Heaven sword away and casually told him: “Relax, I’ve already told you, you don’t have to act that surprised”

“What exactly do you want?” the boy cautiously asked.

“Nothing, from now on, you can do whatever you like” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The boy froze.

Earlier, this guy wanted to kill me, but now he’s acting as if he doesn’t care at all.

What is this situation?

While staring intensely at Gu Qing Shan, the boy was silently feeling anxious.

He suddenly remembered what Gu Qing Shan said earlier——-

...

“I’m going to ask you to die for a bit. I’ll preserve your body, and if necessary, I’ll revive you”
