World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 465

After hearing everything, Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

Qing Rou sighed and also spoke in a low voice: “If I had the ability to, I would've also done the same thing as that girl and taken revenge on this world”

Wan Er also nodded empathetically.

“Gongzi, what do we do now?” Shannu asked.

Gu Qing Shan put one more jade tag away and took out another.

Another line of glowing text scrolled past the War God UI.

[Would you like to spend 1000 Soul Points to comprehend this world's core understanding of formation?]

“Yes”

The Soul Points were subtracted.

Such notifications and confirmation already filled the entire battle record of the UI.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and began to digest the information inside the jade tag again.

Multitasking, he asked Shannu: “Did you see how that girl fought?”

Shannu recalled: “There are short recollections here and there”

“What weapon did she use?”

“It seemed to be thin sheets of paper rolled up and bound by strings”
As that wasn't too accurate of a description, Shannu continued: “Whenever she fought, she would pull off the strings on one roll of paper”
“The paper would then unroll by itself, unleashing powerful spells”

Shannu described.

“Scrolls… so she must've been a God's Chosen…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He recalled Su Xue Er.

Su Xue Er once gave him a scroll as well.

[A moment of God's lapse]

If it weren't for this scroll, he, Ye Fei Li and Zhang Ying Hao wouldn't have been able to kill the Pope.

Which means, the girl who came to this world was most likely a powerful God's Chosen.
God's Chosens can turn into some sort of Order after death huh?
What a strange ability.

Gu Qing Shan silently asked: “War God UI, can only God's Chosens turn into an Order after death? Or can anyone turn into an Order if they're strong enough?”

[Ting]!
The System answered: [Please search for the answer of this question yourself, the System cannot answer]

“So you don't know?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The War God UI replied: [The System can only help you become stronger, aside from a few basic System functions, the System isn't able to do much]
[But the System can give you a special reminder]
[There are as many worlds as there are stars in the sky, creatures so powerful that they lie beyond your imagination are innumerable, and you're still very far away from the truth of the world]

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

The System wasn't wrong.

“Gongzi, do you think some sort of problem lies here?” Qing Rou asked.

“There's no problem”
Seeing how the girls were all paying attention to him, he sent his voice to tell them: “Wait just a bit more, we're leaving”

“Through the sky?” Wan Er asked.

“No”
Still using inner sight to send his voice, Gu Qing Shan told the girls: “Truthfully, I have a guess”

“What kind of guess?” Wan Er asked curiously.

Gu Qing Shan explained: “With how powerful the realm demon is, even the sun, moon and stars were all devoured within just a few days, even Cryptic realm cultivators are no match for it, can we all agree on this?”

Qing Rou and Wan Er nodded.

“If it's able to devour the sun, moon and stars so easily, then I believe as long as it wanted to, it can devour everyone and this world in just a few days”
Gu Qing Shan changed his tone: “But it didn't do that, why?”

The two girls were stunned.

Gu Qing Shan slowly spoke: “Leaving the possibility that it is toying with the cultivators aside, I think it's more likely that it's urging the cultivators to escape through leaving orbit”
“Above orbit, the realm demon definitely has other preparations waiting for the cultivators”

He put the jade tag back into his Inventory Bag, took out another new jade tag and continued to comprehend formations.

This was his conclusion.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain the “every person in this world will die” ending.

Gu Qing Shan was even more hurried now.

This world was too horrifying.

It was possible that the realm demon knew every move and every conversation between the cultivators.

The realm demon was only pretending to sleep

It wanted to create a sense of urgency among the people and force them to escape through orbit.

Something even more horrifying than it must be waiting for them outside.

And so, Gu Qing Shan had to comprehend as much about formations as fast as possible, unlock Qi Yan's formation and make a new formation plate.

There was not even a second to waste.

When the three girls saw him working quicker, although they were still curious, they knew it was not the time to bother him.

Ever since they knew Gu Qing Shan, everything he did slowly but unknowingly gave them a trustworthy impression.

So they silently waited, wanting to see what exactly Gu Qing Shan would do next.

Not too much time passed.

Gu Qing Shan had just put away another jade tag.

A line of glowing text showed up on the War God UI.

[Congratulations, you've comprehended the highest standard of knowledge for this world's formations, reaching the peak of the top]
[Congratulations, there is no more formation in this world that you can continue to learn]

Glancing through that, Gu Qing Shan sighed from relief.

Finally, I've reached the very peak of this world's formation arts!

Gu Qing Shan took out Qi Yan's formation plate from his Inventory Bag.

A formation plate that he couldn't do anything about was now little more than a child's toy.

“The coordinates…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered and formed a few hand seals at the formation plate.

It activated.

Oong!

Cracks in space started to form around the formation.

“Gongzi…” Qing Rou spoke worriedly.

“It's fine, I'm only taking a look, I won't activate it” Gu Qing Shan answered preemptively.

Taking the formation plate, he slowly began to extract the coordinates.

Everything was easily done.

The extraction of the world's coordinates went swimmingly, but Gu Qing Shan began to wonder something as he finished.

Tapping his Inventory Bag, Gu Qing Shan took out a large amount of formation jade tags.

These jade tags recorded the coordinates of every world that the Suspended world had conquered before.

Gu Qing Shan very seriously studied all of the coordinates.

The Suspended world's level of formation was far above every other world.

And since Gu Qing Shan stood at the peak of the art, his vision was naturally different from before.

Even Qi Yan who was a first-rate formation master was grossly inadequate compared to Gu Qing Shan at the moment.

After studying the worlds' coordinates, Gu Qing Shan checked the Shen Wu world's coordinates he just extracted.

Comparing them, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but mutter: “How could it… be…?”

He discovered a secret.

A secret no one had ever found.

The worlds that were absorbed by the Suspended world, even the Suspended world itself all resided within a relative layer of space.

If you compare their coordinates, some of the worlds might be higher or lower than the others, but they were all within a certain range of acceptable error.

But Shen Wu world was different.

Compared to their vertical coordinates, Shen Wu world's was way outside the range of these worlds' coordinates.

Among all the coordinates, Shen Wu world seemed so out of place that it was unnatural.

As if Shen Wu world was on another level entirely.

No wonder.
No wonder the cultivators of this world couldn't find any new world.

If he didn't know Shen Wu world's coordinates now, Gu Qing Shan wouldn't have been able to figure out such strange coordinates either.

For example, let's say the cultivators of this world were fishes in a pond, swimming around to expand their territory.

But regardless of how far they swam, the fishes would always be limited to their pond, unable to imagine how vast the sea or ocean would be.

Since there wasn't much time, Gu Qing Shan couldn't think too deeply into this.

“Gongzi, Wang Hong Dao's storage item”

Shannu took out a gem ornament and gave it to him.

“I've taken a look inside, there were a few traps laid, so I've already dismantled them”

“Well done”

Only Shannu would be able to ignore those traps and directly dismantle them from Wang Hong Dao's storage item.

Gu Qing Shan infused his inner sight into the gem ornament.

There were so many resources of various kinds that he practically had everything he wanted.

“I really have to say, despite how barren and poor this world is, Wang Hong Dao himself was still loaded”

Gu Qing Shan sighed and commented.

Even in a desperate world, there were always a few people who could live lavishly.

Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan put everything from there into the 7-colored fragrance bag.

The 7-colored fragrance bag was Bai Hua sect's inheritance.

Gu Qing Shan had always been taking things from it as he needed,  but now he finally replenished it with more resources.

As a Cryptic realm cultivator, the things Wang Hong Dao keep on himself were the best of the best.

After he finished arranging them, Gu Qing Shan took out a formation plate from the gem ornament.

It was Wang Hong Dao's formation plate.

From the look of it, this formation plate was just a few steps away from completion.

As Gu Qing Shan infused into it to check, he was pleasantly surprised.

This formation plate…
It's so perfectly made that the only thing left to do is to enter the two worlds' coordinates and it'll be operational.
Wang Hong Dao seems to have quite an interesting skill.

Gu Qing Shan entered the Suspended world and Shen Wu world coordinates into the plate.

Just as he was done, he suddenly put it away.

Two swords appeared from the void of space, hovering by his side.

“Gongzi?” Qing Rou asked, a bit confused.

“There was a disturbance in the defensive formation” Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.

“What's the situation?”

“I don't know yet, be cautious”

As soon as he said so, a loud applause came.

Pap! Pap! Pap!

This applause came out of nowhere.

Everyone's expressions shifted.

They still couldn't sense anything around themselves.

But someone was clapping their hands not too far away from where they were.

Everyone followed the sound.

A white fox was sitting not too far away, clapping with its front paws.

Rakshasa's Daughter pet spirit beast, the white fox!

Gu Qing Shan became tense.

He clearly checked and didn't sense the white fox's presence before.

He even thought it had already returned to Rakshasa Peak.

Wang Hong Dao didn't kill it.
Does that mean Wang Hong Dao didn't notice it as well?

Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan became extremely alert.

He held the Earth sword tight.

“It seems there's been a misunderstanding, there's no need to be so wary” the white fox spoke.

An overwhelming presence rose from its body.

The presence was so great that the sect's defensive formation itself was shaking.

Even Wang Hong Dao wasn't able to do such a thing.

“Above Cryptic realm…” Qing Rou muttered.

They all quickly exchanged glances.

Qing Rou and Wan Er let go of their hand seals, Gu Qing Shan and Shannu both lowered their swords.

Because they had no chance of winning against such a person.

Gu Qing Shan looked straight at the white fox's eyes, slowly speaking: “Such an esteemed guest came but we couldn't entertain you well, this was our sect's mistake”

The white fox replied: “There's no need to wrack your brain thinking of how to fight against me”

From its expression, you could almost make out that it was smiling.

“Truthfully, I've been watching you ever since you entered the secret room and met Tian Shan Ye's soul” the white fox told him.

“Ah? But why? I'm nothing but a normal sword cultivator” Gu Qing Shan appeared to be confused.

“No, you're much too humble. Even I couldn't help but let go of my prejudice against the Outermost Layer worlds, after seeing the entire process of you killing Wang Hong Dao and Tian Shan Ye”
The white fox sighed: “I hate to admit it, but if I were you, I probably wouldn't have been able to do that”
