Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Proofreader: Arya

Gu Qing Shan put the vase away and looked back at the mountain top.

There wasn’t a single person left alive, even their weapons and personal treasure tools were already collected by the Tianma, not leaving even a speck of dust behind.

What he has to do next is just wait.

He’s already done all that he can do, he’ll need to wait for the Tianma’s decision.

The darkness of night slowly rescinded as dawn came.

A bright red light appeared from far at the horizon.

It’s not the sun, it’s the rain of fire that once again appeared to rain down on the area.

Glancing at the rain of fire, Gu Qing Shan frowned.

He suddenly thought of something.

If the Zishan young master is currently facing the Tribulation in another world, then who is currently manipulating the gourd of fire?

The maids.

It must be the two maids

As slaves, aside from helping their own enemies, it’s possible that they don’t have any other way to live.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and stopped thinking about this.

He tapped his Inventory Bag and took out his airship.

The airship soared away.

Gu Qing Shan sat on the airship, piloting it quickly through the sky.

He saw the rain of fire was pouring down at another place in the sky.

This was something unprecedented for him, the scene of an entire world slowly being refined by someone.

Gu Qing Shan stared at the falling rain of fire, then unconsciously thought about it again.

Maids?

He suddenly remembered the two other world cultivators that he killed.

Just before he killed them, they were saying something.

“When young master captures her, I’ll bet you anything that young master would be reluctant to kill her, instead taking her as a personal maid”

“Doesn’t young master already have two stunning maids?”

“You think young master will mind there being too many? Not to mention, this woman doesn’t pale at all in beauty compared to the other two”

Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tightly.

Before, in the ruins, there was also an order flag in the hands of that sword cultivator.

The order flag said that beautiful women can be captured as maids, strong people can be captured as mining slaves.

Then…

Gu Qing Shan kept contemplating, all the way until he reached the camp did he have a faint thought.

The camp.

Gu Qing Shan took out the Buddhist bowl.

“You already refused to go into seclusion, what are you calling me out for?” the bowl’s tone wasn’t friendly and asked him directly.

“Senior, can I see the scene from back then again?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Didn’t you already see it?”

“I need to find their weakness, so I want to take another look”

The bowl stayed silent for a bit, then finally said: “Get in”

A light covered Gu Qing Shan and sucked him into the bowl.

“Which scene do you want to see again?” the bowl asked.

“The moment when the three of them appeared” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Inside the bowl, the scene replayed once again.

Two women dressed in white, both peerless beauties.

While standing there, they let off a pure and solemn presence, such that you feel that they cannot be tainted.

But both their hands and feet were locked in shackles, their massive spirit energy was completely locked by the chains without any way to be released.

“Such powerful lock seals, it truly is incredible…”

Gu Qing Shan frowned and muttered.

The scene slowly changed.

Suddenly, one of the women spoke: “Big sis look, an untouched world!”

“My yes it is, a completely new world, how unfortunate that they are so weak, it seems this will be another massacre again” the other woman sighed in a very low voice.

“Hmph, young master is probably very pleased inside right now” the woman looked at the Zishan young master.

Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan started nodding.

…

The Zishan young master spoke: ““Years ago, father killed a certain person. Some of his belongings were suitable for me to use, who could’ve known, one of the small things in there would help open the barrier and let me find this area”

“What would you like to do, young master?”

“Get the gourd”

Hearing that, the women’s faces slightly grimaced.

Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the two women’s expressions, then silently made a decision.

He immediately took out a Communication Talisman, asked something before putting it into the Universal Talisman.

Not too long later, a light appeared from the Universal Talisman.

Bai Hua Fairy’s Communication Talisman jumped out and spoke: “I’ll return now”

Gu Qing Shan then put away the Universal Talisman and silently waited.

It’s already been half a day, at most, about one and a half days later, the Zishan young master will come.

The Zishan young master could already refine the entire Shen Wu world by himself while he was a Tribulation realm cultivator, after another one and a half day, he’ll reach Virtualized realm and become even stronger.

How would I even know if the things I’m arranging will have an effect at all…

For a split second, Gu Qing Shan was wavering, but quickly regained his determination.

With Shifu’s personality, even if she loses, she’d rather die than become his maid.

She will definitely sacrifice herself.

And that mustn’t happen, I definitely won’t let Shifu die!

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, Bai Hua Fairy had already came floating.

Still wearing a veil to cover her face, she only let her clear eyes be seen.

A smell of hundred flowers softly came from her body.

“Shifu, how are Xuanyuan Tianzun and the Great Monk of Sorrow?” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.

The three Saints has been fighting together for many years, their coordination in battle is nothing to joke about.

Whether or not the Great Monk of Sorrow and Xuanyuan Tianzun manages to survive will directly affect the power difference in the final battle.

“Tianzun is no longer with us, Sorrow has broken through” Bai Hua Fairy’s tone carried a sense of regret unlike anything ever before.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

He knew that the Projection realm Tribulation is both difficult and dangerous, and the fact that the majority of cultivators cannot survive through the Tribulation. But hearing the news that a Sainted realm cultivator dying without anyone noticing in the Tribulation like that still seems unreal to him.

Cultivation is hard, but not cultivating is the same as letting others kill you as they please.

Some manage to breakthrough, gaining the chance to fight against their own fate.

But others can only pass away in regret.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sighed.

“You said you wanted to see me to ask about the situation above the sky?” Bai Hua Fairy asked.

“Yes Shifu, just who is controlling the rain of fire?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Bai Hua Fairy answered: “Two women, but it seems they are unable to cast any spells at all, only manipulating a gourd”

She continued: “The gourd is very hard to deal with; it was the gourd that managed to wound Sorrow monk from before”

“The rain of fire above Shen Wu world is also being released from that gourd”

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “I found a certain piece of intelligence here, Shifu, please take a look”

He then took the bowl and put it on the table.

“This is my Shifu, please also show her the scene at the time” he said to the bowl.

The bowl then let out a light to envelop Bai Hua Fairy.

Looking at Gu Qing Shan for a bit, Bai Hua Fairy didn’t resist.

Very quickly, she was sucked into the bowl.

A few seconds later, Bai Hua Fairy reappeared inside the tent.

She seems solemn as she asked: “So it’s like that, what do you plan on doing?”

“I want to see the two women just once, to see if I can convince them” Gu Qing Shan said.

“It’s useless to look for them”

“Why?”

“They can’t do anything at all, not to mention, I’ve checked the lock seal chains and shackles they were wearing. Those are lock seals that I’ve never seen before, even I wouldn’t be able to resist them” Bai Hua Fairy said.

“As long as they still have their own will, if we try, we might be able to get some unexpected help” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Why do you think so?”

“I’ve seen their expressions and language, they still hold empathy towards the world, which means their wills haven’t been corroded”

“And then what?”

“It’s possible that they have their own view about this as well, just what we don’t know about it”

“The decisive battle to the death is already very close” Gu Qing Shan continued: “A Virtualized realm cultivator is unimaginably powerful. So even if it’s only a slim chance, as long as they can provide us any bit of help at all, I want to try it, I want to meet them at least once”

Bai Hua Fairy’s attitude changed a little bit, rubbing her chin as she spoke: “I’m pleased that you’re able to think of such a solution in the face of battle”

She then stood up and said: “In the case that they decide to use the gourd against you, you won’t be able to escape no matter how much luck you have, I’ll personally take you to see them”

“Wait a bit Shifu, I have another thing to do”

Gu Qing Shan raised the bowl and asked: “I want to help you regain the former glory of your sect, are you willing?”

The bowl asked: “Do you have a Buddhist cultivator?”

“Yes” saying so, Gu Qing Shan looked up at Bai Hua Fairy: “I think we’ll have to ask the Great Monk of Sorrow to come for a bit”

Looking at the bowl, Bai Hua Fairy casually sent out a Communication Talisman.

A few minutes later, the Great Monk of Sorrow came into the tent.

As soon as he walked in and saw the bowl, his eyes couldn’t move away anymore.

“Amitabha, this is our sect’s grand artifact!” he clapped his hands and said.

The bowl also sighed: “Amitabha, a bit old”

But it still flew up and slowly floated in front of the Great Monk of Sorrow.

The Great Monk of Sorrow closed his eyes and clasped his hands, softly chanting a Buddhist scripture.

Layers upon layers of golden light started to emit from the bowl, manifesting as countless golden Bodhisattvas.

“As a practitioner of Buddha, you must carry me to walk the world. I ask you, are you willing?” the bowl asked.

“I am willing” the Great Monk of Sorrow answered.

“Living beings are crying from agony, you must carry me to light the way for all beings, I ask you, are you willing?”

“I am willing”

“The world is collapsing, you must come with me on the path to destroy evil and eliminate demons, are you willing?”

“I am willing”

“That is good”

Saying so, the bowl slowly fell into the Great Monk of Sorrow’s hands.

Holding the bowl, Great Monk of Sorrow nodded to Bai Hua Fairy and spoke: “Thank you!”

“This is your own fate, if you want to thank someone then thank my disciple” Bai Hua Fairy replied.

“Please don’t, if the Great Monk can become stronger, our situation would be much better regardless” Gu Qing Shan said.

He then looked at the Great Monk of Sorrow and sincerely: “I only ask the Great Monk to help protect my Shifu during battle”

“Amitabha, this monk has received such a great fate, of course I will repay it” the Great Monk of Sorrow replied.

A few minutes later.

An airship came out of the camp and headed straight through the clouds.

About 40,000 meters off the ground, the airship couldn’t rise up anymore.

Bai Hua Fairy put the airship away, held Gu Qing Shan and kept flying upwards.

About 30,000 meters later, Bai Hua Fairy stopped.

She circulated her spirit energy to lift Gu Qing Shan hovering next to her.

“Look” Bai Hua Fairy pointed afar.

A faint light of flames was shining, emitting heat while raining down at the ground.

The rain of fire.

“I see it, let’s go meet the two of them” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Let’s go then” Bai Hua Fairy took him by the wrist, bringing him forward.

They quickly came closer as the faint light of flames began to become clear.

A gourd was being held upside down as the mouth of the gourd let out an endless stream of fire.

The two peerless beauties wore white dresses with their hands and feet in shackles silently stood there among the strong wind.

Feeling someone coming close, they both turned to look.

“Ah?” they were both surprised.

“He looks so similar to young master” one of them said.

“Not quite, he looks similar at a glance, but very different facial features” the other replied.

“Greetings, fellow Dao seekers” Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and said.

Bai Hua Fairy only silently stood on one side, not greeting.

“What do you want?”

The women with a gentle and soft look on her face asked.

“Excuse me but are you the Zishan young master’s maids?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“We are his maids, looking for us like this, are you perhaps looking to sell your world and surrender to him?” the other woman asked with an irritated look.

The gentle woman continued: “Young master doesn’t usually kill those who willingly surrender, perhaps you can at least live on as his servant”

“That’s right, congratulations to you” the irritated woman followed up.

“No, I’m not here to surrender” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The two women looked at him suspiciously.

“I want to kill him” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The two women were stunned.

The irritated women suddenly burst out laughing: “What a joke, that’s not funny at all”

Her expression suddenly became more animated, her presence full of spirits, almost like a carefree fairy descended from above.
