World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 424

In the sky.

The brilliant gold light that stretched across the world looked as if it was a waterfall that cascaded from the sky.

The dignified light came from the Law of Huang Quan.

It was bringing the hundred quadrillion dead people present here to their reincarnation.

According to the Merit and karma they accrued in this life, it will reincarnate these people to the other 5 worlds of Samsara.

The reincarnated people will appear at the worlds in ways that the living cannot possibly imagine.

For example, if they went to the Heaven realm, they might reincarnate from a lotus, or from a mountain of iron, or hard, ancient wood.

If they reincarnate to one of the Asura realm's 4 tribes, they might grow from another's back, from water, from fire, from metal, or born from a flower petal.

Both the Heaven realm and Asura realm were superior realms in Samsara, so there wasn't much difference.

If the dead reincarnated at the Beast King or Demon realm, then it wouldn't be too much different from reincarnating as a human, but asides from being born like normal, there was also being born from eggs, outside fertilization, asexual reproduction, colorless, colorful, sentient, non-sentient, all sorts of different ways to be reborn.

The world of Huang Quan and the human realm were still quickly merging.

The Law of reincarnation manifested as the screen of light that draped down like a curtain, covering the dead.

But below, the dead haven't left yet.

They were still waiting for the world barrier to actually reform.

A new world was about to be born.

Above, the countless demons and even Demon Lords were screaming, roaring while they waited.

But below, it was absolute silence.

The hundred quadrillion dead stared straight up at the sky, looking out for any demons that might come down.

Gu Qing Shan had contacted and told Impartial Goddess to open all gears to record as many types of demon as she could.

This was the first time that humanity met demons face to face.

So their appearance, species, characteristics or even their habits were precious intelligence gathered for the future.

Gu Qing Shan stared straight at the screen without blinking for 10 minutes straight.

Finally, he breathed out.

------how fortunate, there isn't a True Demon Lord here.

Perhaps the human realm was too weak that most of those sent were only Remodeled Demon Lords.

The 3-headed snake Demon Lord was clearly a Remodeled Demon Lord.

With it serving as an example, none of the other Demon Lords dared to come down to earth.

Even the two only Chaotic Demon Lords among them didn't want to come down.

They were silently waiting, hoping that the dead quickly left.

The dead stayed.

Time passed by.

The final second went by.

The sound of thunder echoed in the sky, as if countless invisible arcs of lightning were striking each other.

An invisible force followed by a rhythmic galloping shook the entire world.

The next moment, the demons that lurked close started to scream.

The powerful Demon Lords hurriedly back off.

The new world barrier was being reformed!

All demons that was touched by the barrier got burnt to ash.

The Demon Lords couldn't possibly fight against the force of an entire world – let alone two.

Screaming and screech in unwillingness, they were forced to leave the human realm.

The sun rises.

Everything was once again bathed in the warm, familiar sunlight.

The sky was deep blue, not even a cloud was in sight, and certainly no demons.

“Is it over?”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He checked the War God UI.

Two lines of glowing text were still there.

[The two worlds are still fusing]
[The new world barrier has been fully erected]

Success!
7 hours had passed, the demons still couldn't invade the world!

Gu Qing Shan looked at the dead.

Their Merit have all became negative.

Although this was their own choice, such a result still made them depressed.

「 Everyone, I'm sorry…  」

Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything else, he was cut off.

The Merit Accountant Machine's voice came into everyone's ears.

[Attention all dead people]
[Attention all dead people]
[I will now begin adjusting your Merit]

The dead all looked up and listened.

The Merit Accountant Machine continued: [Now that the 6 worlds have regained its stability, the Merit you could receive has been recalculated, now begin final distributions]
[The battle of Huang Quan, you did not manage to stop the demons from destroying the world, nor did you stop the Heavenly God's scheme, the survival of the Samsara world was still undecided]
[Furthermore, the fusion of the two worlds were done by the Devil King]
[Conclusion: the dead did not save the Samsara world, the great Merits gained from that deed has been cancelled, leaving only the small Merits for obtaining the Earth elemental root and Wood elemental root]
[Special note]
[The dead who had chosen to reincarnate early revealed their own vile nature in their final moments, showing unquestionable hostility towards the world, together with their riling actions that could've caused the destruction of the world]
[Conclusion: this behavior is similar to seeing a person in need, being capable to help but choose not to, ignoring the preventable, thus their Merit shall be deducted]
[Final calculations: the dead who reincarnated had small Merit for obtaining the elemental roots, the dead who reincarnated committed the Sin of leaving early and provocation. The Sin and Merit cancels each other out]
[Judgement: the reincarnated dead Merits shall become 0]

Saying that, the Merit Accountant Machine stopped for a bit.

All the dead had indescribable expressions on their faces.

The 10 opposing leaders of the dead have already reincarnated, but their final hostility towards the world seemed to have caused this act of revenge from the Merit Accountant Machine.

Then it continued.

[All the dead who haven't reincarnated saved the combining two worlds]
[The new world has finished forming a new world barrier]
[The new world barrier had caused the barriers of the rest of the Samsara world to strengthen]
[The Samsara world has been saved]
[Conclusion: the dead who haven't reincarnated saved the Samsara world]
[Merit from saving the Samsara world has been calculated, distributing between the dead who haven't reincarnated, now]

A number counter appeared above all the dead people's heads.

They looked up at it.

The negative number quickly became 0, and 0 started to become positive.

The positive number was increasing.

Their Merits were skyrocketing.

The dead couldn't help but start to cheer.

Staying in the world should've caused them to lose Merit, but who could've thought, the Merit they got from it was even more than before!

When the numbers above the dead people stopped, they were already values that would please anyone.

The Merit Accountant Machine once again declared.

[The dead please prepare to reincarnate according to your Merit]
[The dead will forget everything from their past life as well as what just happened, welcoming a fresh start]
[Warning, if you stay at the human realm again, your Merit will rapidly decrease until you're forced back to hell]
[Caution is advised]

After saying so, the Merit Accountant Machine stopped and went silent again.

The waterfall-like golden light once again flowed down to the surface.

The dead were all cheering.

“Thank you Devil King!” someone shouted.

Gu Qing Shan laughed and shouted back: 「 No! You are the ones who saved this world, this is what you deserve, I am the one who needs to thank you!  」

The dead erupted into a cheer again.

“We saved the world!”
“Long live the Devil King!”
“Those bastards who went first, ahahaha, I wish I could see their faces right now!”
“Me as well!”

The dead were saying their final goodbyes.

Inside a Confederate hospital.

“I have to leave” the female Asura looked at the sleeping baby and his mother.

“Can you leave some contact information? I want to thank you with a meal” the mother said with gratitude.

“No need, we will probably never meet again” the female Asura smiled and said.

She flew away, towards the direction of the mountaintop mansion.

On the empty yard in front of the mansion.

The 7 leaders stepped forward one by one, giving Gu Qing Shan a goodbye hug.

They were sad, but entered the screen of light and left the human realm one by one.

The female Asura was the last.

It wasn't until the other 6 had entered the screen that she walked in front of Gu Qing Shan.

“I can't go just yet” she said.

“Why?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You agreed to a match against me” the female Asura said.

She then explained: “As an Asura, if I miss the chance to fight such a wonderful opponent as yourself, I'll regret it forever”

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

That's right, the Asura were a belligerent race, to them fighting was also a kind of pleasure.

Having been through so many things, everything that the female Asura did prove that she is a worthy friend.

Gu Qing Shan took out the Chao Yin sword and sincerely spoke: “Very well, we'll make this quick, I don't want your Merit to be deducted”

The female Asura drew her Blades from her back, declaring with a battlecry: “I won't hold back!”

Her body flashed as countless Blade slashes came straight at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan received them with his sword.

Both sides changed their stance and movements constantly, several bouts had passed in just a few moments.

The female Asura's Blade stance was fierce, every attack she made held the resolve for mutual destruction.

Even Gu Qing Shan found it hard to not be serious.

Very quickly, Gu Qing Shan found a gap and stabbed his sword forward.

This strike aimed directly at the female Asura's chest, if she won't pull back to defend, it'll be her death.

But the female Asura seemed undeterred and still swung her Blade forward at Gu Qing Shan.

It was as if she didn't notice Gu Qing Shan's strike, or she had no intention to stop it.

Very quickly, the sword was about to stab her.

“You…”

Gu Qing Shan used all his strength to change the course of his sword at the end.

The female Asura took that chance to step in.

The cold gleaming Blades were already thrown on the ground.

She hugged Gu Qing Shan.

She leaned her head on his shoulder.

“I really… don't want to forget about you…”

She spoke softly.

The screen of light came from above and enveloped her.

Leaving a single drop of tear, she smiled at Gu Qing Shan one last time.

A breeze blew past.

She was no longer there.
