Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1607 - Time to act  



Chapter 1607: Time to act

The Divine Mountain of Sumeru ascended into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

The great cultivators were still prostrating on the ground.

The leading cultivators exchanged glances and all understood that they wouldn’t be able to convince Gu Qing Shan, so they all bowed to the heavenly beings and begged.

“Heavenly beings sir, please maintain justice!”

“Heavenly beings, we are all so weak that we would definitely not be a match for Gu Qing Shan, please leave us some hope of survival”

“Please save us, heavenly beings!”

They all sorrowfully cried and begged with a terrible appearance, which made it almost impossible for anyone not to sympathize with them.

——-as long as we can convince the heavenly beings so that they help speak for us, there would still be room to recover from this!

Seeing this, the heavenly beings couldn’t help but exchange glances.

Sure enough, not betraying the cultivators’ expectations, a certain Venerable one who hated all evil like a nemesis stood up.

This Venerable one coldly scoffed: “Do not worry, I, the Ten Holy Land Venerable had always enforced the laws with absolute fairness, whenever I’ve been the judge, I would never bow to authority”

The cultivators all called out with great joy: “Thank you, Venerable one!”

After they said their thanks, they saw the Venerable one slowly strolling towards Gu Qing Shan side.

“We meet again fellow Dao seeker Gu, thank you for guiding me into the Heaven realm at that time”

The Venerable one respectfully greeted him.

“You are welcome” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The Venerable one firmly stood next to him.

The cultivators were all speechless.

——didn’t you just agree to maintain justice?

How come you’re already over there?

A female heavenly being stood out and sighed: “Poor living beings of the mortal realm, having to face so much suffering and bullying. Today, I must stand out and speak for justice”

After declaring that, without waiting for the cultivators to react, she gently walked in front of Gu Qing Shan and bowed: “Fellow Dao seeker Gu, during that great peril of life and death, it was you who appeared and guided me——– other matters can be left for later, can you take a picture with me?”

“Ah, sure” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The female heavenly being stood next to Gu Qing Shan and leaned on his shoulder, then spoke to an image recording jade tag hovering somewhere: “Record!”

A flash of light appeared.

Their picture had been taken.

“Thank you, fellow Dao seeker Gu!” the female heavenly being took the jade tag and stood behind Gu Qing Shan, carefully examining it.

The great cultivators: “…”

One of the heavenly beings mocked them: “Are the bunch of you actually that dumb, or acting dumb? Don’t you know that it was him who personally helped establish the Heaven realm of the Divine Mountain?”

He walked up to and stood firmly beside Gu Qing Shan.

After that, the remaining heavenly beings swiftly moved next to Gu Qing Shan one by one, making the situation very clear——-

Everyone who was standing earlier was now standing on Gu Qing Shan’s side.

Everyone who prostrated remained prostrated.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan no longer cared about the cultivators.

He asked: “Everyone, can I ask what this Heavenly Tower is exactly?”

A heavenly being answered him: “This Heavenly Tower was a treasured artifact of the past, it can manifest the inheritances of the Heaven realm for the slumbering heavenly beings to choose their disciples”

“Slumbering heavenly being?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

“That’s right. During the previous era, the Samsara was broken due to a Great Tribulation, but many True Immortals [1]had known about this ahead of time and used a concealment technique to enter deep slumber, waiting for the Great Tribulation to pass” a heavenly being replied.

A female heavenly being added: “These past heavenly beings all left preparations for the future Samsara Clash for Supremacy”

Someone else chimed in: “It would only be right before the Samsara Clash for Supremacy that the True Immortals would awaken once again”

“What is the Samsara Clash for Supremacy?” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.

All the heavenly beings shook their heads.

“We don’t know”

“I only know that it’s coming, but nothing too specific”

“That’s right, it seems like it would occur very soon, but no one knows for sure just how soon it would be”

“Fellow Dao seeker Gu, you should know, we’ve only just reincarnated into the Heaven realm not too long ago, so we still don’t know a lot of things very well”

Gu Qing Shan went silent for a few moments.

For some reason, he couldn’t help but recall the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.

In the past, when the Tomb of Myriad Beasts fused countless fragments of the Beast King realm together, they ended up with a huge tomb.

Many of the inheritances within the great tomb, including the Samsara War Shaman’s inheritance, were of very high status.

The Samsara War Shaman, huh?

Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a bit more cautious.

Heaven realm, Human realm, Asura realm.

Huang Quan realm, Beast King realm, Wraith realm.

If the strongest Combatants of the Samsara hadn’t actually died and instead used various measures to avoid the Apocalypse, while also making preparations for when the Samsara fused back together…

Even the broken Six Paths Great Mountain sword had recorded the power of [Null Tribulation].

This was the power of an Apocalypse that broke it apart!

Perhaps, during this fusion, the Samsara would evolve again?

——-could it be that this was the true intention behind the Samsara Clash for Supremacy?

Feeling like he had just been struck on the head by a bat, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but feel a tremble in his mind.

For countless years, those entities of extreme power had hidden themselves into the fragments of the Samsara, while waiting for the era of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy to arrive.

What kind of state would the Space Vortex be in at that point?

Countless legendary figures of the Samsara would re-emerge, bringing with them a thunderous course of events.

What path should I take at that time?

Even if I can win the Huang Quan realm’s Saint Selection, would I be able to fight against entities at the same level as the Samsara War Shaman?

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and silently suppressed all of these thoughts.

There are still some things that I have to take care of right now, I can’t trip myself up.

Let’s collect more information on the Samsara tonight before I consider them any further.

With that in mind, he said: “Everyone, I’m thinking of destroying this Heavenly Tower, does anyone have any ideas?”

The Divine Envoy shrugged and said: “We originally stayed behind in order to help you, but regretfully, this tower was created by the heavenly beings of the past, so we would most likely not be able to destroy it…”

“This tower is quite impressive, fellow Dao seeker Gu, won’t you consider leaving it still?” the female heavenly being who just took a picture with him asked.

All the heavenly beings looked at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and approached the Heavenly Tower, placing his hand on it.

Lines of glowing text instantly appeared in the void of space:

[Heaven realm tower of inheritance]

[Function: Summoning heavenly being’s consciousness]

[This tower contains the consciousness brands of True Immortals, using this to pass on their Immortal Craft inheritances, thus automatically completing the selection and renewal of the various Heavenly sects]

[Attention: This tower isn’t a defensive item, although your ‘All Things Destruction’ contains the great power of the frozen corpse, it would not be able to destroy this tower, how regretful]

It isn’t a defensive item… so it can’t be destroyed…

Gu Qing Shan silently pondered.

I can naturally destroy this with [Earth’s Choice], but from how extraordinary this tower was, it would definitely require a huge amount of Soul Points.

I only have a few ten thousand Soul Points with me right now, so I can’t waste it on this.

…Let’s think of something else.

Suddenly, countless voices sounded from the Heavenly Tower:

「 The power of your gauntlet might be powerful, but the Laws it can affect are unrelated to the Heavenly Tower 」

「 How regretful, you might be strong, but you cannot possibly destroy this Heavenly Tower 」

「 The power of mortals cannot destroy the Heavenly Tower 」

「 Go back and cultivate for another thousand years, this tower isn’t something you can encroach upon 」

Gu Qing Shan looked up at the Heavenly Tower, only to see the numerous heavenly being statues looking down at him.

These were the aforementioned consciousnesses of heavenly beings, they were paying close attention to the events occurring here and spoke down at him with an absolute superior tone.

“They actually called Shroud’s power the ‘power of mortals’…” Gu Qing Shan muttered, then turned his gaze back to the notifications again.

For some reason, all of the War God UI’s notifications up to now had been very official, but now there was an extraneous ‘how regretful’ comment.

Regretful?

What is it referring to?

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then spoke to a heavenly being with the title ‘Virtuous Radiant Heavenly Lord’: “Heavenly Lord, let’s say I want to throw a punch at you that contains the power to destroy everything, a punch of extreme power; but you don’t have any other kinds of defensive items and can’t escape anywhere, and you just happen to be standing next to the Heavenly Tower, how would you try to defend against that punch?”

The Virtuous Radiant Heavenly Lord was surprised, but answered: “Then I’d hide behind the tower”

“Come, let us give it a try” Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder.

The Virtuous Radiant Heavenly Lord felt utterly confused, but still tried to stand in front of the Heavenly Tower.

“Alright, I’m going to throw that punch now, try and avoid it” Gu Qing Shan told him.

The Virtuous Radiant Heavenly Lord saw that Gu Qing Shan had truly gathered immense power, so he couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.

He slowly ran and hid behind the Heavenly Tower.

“Have you taken shelter?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I’ve taken shelter” the Virtuous Radiant Heavenly Lord replied.

“So you’re trying to use the Heavenly Tower to defend against my punch, right?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“That’s right, if I can’t run and have no other defensive items, I can only rely on this to defend myself” the Virtuous Radiant Heavenly Lord honestly answered.

Lines of glowing text then appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes:

[You’ve bestowed a new temporary attribute to the Heavenly Tower]

[The Heavenly Tower had become the Virtuous Radiant Heavenly Lord’s defensive item (temporary)]

[Your ‘All Things Destruction’ can destroy all defensive items, so it can naturally destroy this tower][2]

Done!

Gu Qing Shan smirked.

The heavenly beings’ consciousnesses on the Heavenly Tower also sensed this and angrily shouted:

「 No, you damned devil spawn of Huang Quan, you’re cheating! 」

Gu Qing Shan didn’t care about that at all.

——-this tower can summon the consciousness of True Immortals from the past, so it is a bit regretful to just destroy it like this.

He took out the Samsara Wicked Mask from his Thought Sea and put it on before touching the Heavenly Tower again.

“From now on, the power of this tower shall belong to the Wraith realm——- which means it belongs to me”

Gu Qing Shan declared.

As he spoke, the mask began to exude an eerie fluctuation.

——[Jade Cultivation] and [Profound Shadow] both activated at the same time!

The pure white mask began to inscribe itself with patterns of vicissitudes.

Gu Qing Shan had fought against wraiths plenty of times, but he had never seen this kind of pattern before.

Crack crack!

A single winding crack appeared all around the Heavenly Tower.

The Samsara Wicked Mask had absorbed its power and inflicted irreversible damage on it.

“Hm, I think I can consider this breaking even”

Gu Qing Shan said with satisfaction.

He clenched his fist——

Instantly, a frigidly chilling aura radiated from the white skull gauntlets that spread into his surroundings.

「 NO, YOU CAN’T DESTROY THIS TOWER! 」one of the heavenly beings’ consciousnesses furiously roared.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say a word and simply swung his fist while wearing the yaksha mask.

Doon!

A resounding noise echoed throughout the entire world.

The Heavenly Tower remained intact.

A gust of wind blew down from above and swept across the ground.

Suddenly, the entire tower crumbled into dust, which then scattered into this world following the wind.

[Samsara Wicked Guise: Jade Cultivation]

[This mask is able to unleash the Wraith realm Divine Skill: Jade Cultivation Profound Shadow (exclusive)]

[Jade Cultivation Profound Shadow:]

[Jade Cultivation: You are able to choose any treasure to have the mask gain that treasure’s ability, forming a Guise Hex that’s stored within the mask to be used as you wish]

[Profound Shadow: The ability you gain will be automatically improved by one stage, always more powerful than compared to the original, but this fact will be hidden and not displayed on the mask. Furthermore, by wearing this yaksha mask, your power will be converted to a form of your own choosing, others will never be able to see through your background]

[Guise Hexes are infallible]

[1] the term ‘immortal’ here actually means heavenly being, which refers to those who were part the Heaven realm and not actually immortals like their names suggest

[2] here it is, the day when he began to scam the Laws of Reality
