World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 580

Deep in the night.

Within the jet black sky, a streak of light suddenly appeared.

The streak of light flew with breakneck speed directly from the sky towards Tidal city.

Boom!

A crater was formed in the ground, dust and dirt flying all around.

But when one tried to look, there wasn't anything in the crater at all.

While still grabbing Ilya's hand, Gu Qing Shan activated [Ground Shrink].

In the blink of an eye, they both appeared where Laura was.

As soon as they appeared, dozens of weapons were pointed straight at them.

“It's us” Gu Qing Shan said.

“General!”
“Gongzi!”

When the guards and Shannu confirmed it was them, they put their weapons away.

Gu Qing Shan's inner sight quickly scanned through to find that everything was still completely fine.

“Did something happen here?” he asked.

“Nothing at all. Because the Divine Seeds are currently conducting their ritual at the divine temple, we weren't allowed to come close, so I stayed by her royal highness Laura's side” Shannu answered.

“Laura!”

Ilya walked forward and carefully confirmed Laura's state.

Laura was perfectly fine.

“What is it, Ilya?” Laura was extremely confused.

Ilya looked to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan didn't have time to explain more, only throwing a formation plate to Shannu.

“Shannu, set up a network of formations. If anyone dares come even close to this place, kill them” he said.

“Yes!” Shannu replied.

Gu Qing Shan's inner sight quickly covered the entire city and found his target.

“Protect Laura, I'll go scout the situation!” he then told Ilya.

“Alright”

Ilya stayed close to Laura.

Now that they had returned, after hearing his conjecture, she didn't want to risk staying even a step away from Laura.

Gu Qing Shan directly invoked [Ground Shrink] and disappeared.

At the same time, Shannu operated the formation plate and began to set up a formation array.

“What's going on? Why do both of you look like you're panicking?”

It was now that Laura could finally ask.

Ilya sighed: “He suspects that [Origin] had already gotten what it wanted”

“How is that possible when the ghost army still hasn't even attacked the city yet?” one of the guards couldn't help but ask.

“Have any of you heard of a Samsara world?”

“I have, it's a type of miraculous closed-cycle world that can only be seen very rarely in the Mystic Zones” another guard replied.

“According to our guess, the Tianma of the Samsara world have also arrived” Ilya told them.

“Tianma!”

Laura's expression changed.

The guards still didn't quite understand.

Laura looked at the group and explained: “The Tianma are a special type of existence within the Samsara world”
“For some special unknown reason, the Old Gods spent a huge amount of effort to create the wondrous Samsara world. The Tianma are a unique type of spirit that was born from that creation process, their preferred food is the souls of living beings from Samsara”

Ilya continued: “The existence of the Tianma wasn't part of the Old Gods' plan, so they originally wanted to eradicate them all, but they soon found that it was impossible to actually do so”
“Because the Tianma were actually part of the Laws of a Samsara world, they have the responsibility of maintaining balance for the entire Samsara world”

“You mean this type of monster can simultaneously control 6 worlds?” one of them asked in shock.

“No, they only notice beings whose desires are too great, or too powerful, they will do everything they can to devour the souls of these beings, in the process preventing the Samsara world from being destroyed by these beings”

“Are Tianma strong?”

“They might be, at the same time they might not be. The scariest part about them is how they attack----- they always appear from the inner thoughts of all beings. When you are eating, walking, talking, or even when you're sleeping, at any time, they can and will silently sneak into your mind. Long story short, those without experience will never be able to defend against them, dying by having their souls eaten by the Tianma without ever noticing it”

The guards tried thinking of such a situation and couldn't help but shiver.

Since Shannu had Gu Qing Shan's memories, she had already noticed something strange since a while ago.

-----the Suspended world had no Tianma, while Tianma existed in both Shen Wu world and the cultivation world.

Suddenly, she noticed something that was completely unrelated to the current situation.

“Could it be, both the cultivation world and Shen Wu world were Samsara worlds?” Shannu muttered in surprise.

On the other side.

Gu Qing Shan directly appeared outside the divine temple.

His inner sight tried to reach inside, but was blocked by the temple's gates.

----so this divine temple even has the ability to block out inner sight's clairvoyance.

Gu Qing Shan sliced the gates open and stepped in.

The divine temple was full of people.

Almost all the tribe's people were here.

Seeing the large crowd of people remaining still without moving, Gu Qing Shan felt sorrowful.

Everyone was kneeling close to the ground, seemingly conducting some sort of divine ritual.

They all had strange smiles on their faces and even warmth on their bodies, but they were all dead.

This was exactly the same scene that he saw in the city.

Old man Jiao was standing at the far end of the temple, both hands lifting something up with a look of worship and sincerity.

But there wasn't anything in his hands.

-----perhaps there used to be, but it was already taken away by the Tianma.

Old man Jiao was also dead.

He was the host for the Tianma, as soon as he touched the Old God's leftover treasure, even before he took the test, the Tianma inside his mind had already manifested and devoured his soul, stealing the treasure.

“Old man Jiao…” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

At the same time, the entire War God UI suddenly turned blood red.

An eye-catching streak of light flew to the center of the UI, turning into large letters.

[Caution]
[Unique fluctuations of the world Origin detected]
[After comparative analysis, the current conclusion had been drawn]
[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Origin had become dormant]
[Conclusion: Origin is currently evolving]
[One day later, Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution will official launch]
[Revolution will spread over 300 million World Layers, merging with the Demon King Order of the Fallen Zones, together evolving into a higher level of Order]
[The 900 million World Layers will enter the final decisive war]

Gu Qing Shan was stunned looking at the final words.

He suddenly wielded the Earth sword in anger, shouting: “GET OUT HERE!”

Numerous layers of Lightning appeared on the Earth sword, raining down on the divine temple like real lightning from the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Lightning quickly exploded, plunging the divine temple into a sea of light.

At a certain point, the lightning apparently struck something.

A mocking voice came.

『 Look at you, a failure, a tiny insect who stood on the wrong side of the war, have you always been this impatient?  』

Gu Qing Shan withdrew his sword, dissipating the lightning.

“Who are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 We've already met once  』the voice told him.

As they talked, the corpses of the Divine Seeds gradually melted into a pool of blood.

This blood was apparently sentient, quickly forming into a large blood rune on the ground.

Flames began to appear from the rune.

Long streaks of flame weaved together as they rose upward, forming a curtain of fire.

Oom!

The flames rose all the way to the ceiling.

A large and ferocious figure appeared from the flame, talking down to him with a graceful and arrogant tone.

『 That sense of fulfilment when you are about to taste the fruits of victory and show up in front of the losers, watching their fearful and desperate expression truly is unlike any other. I'm sorry to say, but I have always been addicted to this feeling  』

The master of Purgatory------ a legendary existence from ages ago.

He once again appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

『 I came to tell you that everything went perfectly according to our plans, even the end of the war had already been fully scripted  』the master of Purgatory smirked and told him.

Gu Qing Shan swung his sword.

The sword phantom slashed through the flame, breaking a huge hole on the ceiling of the temple.

------I missed, this is just another projection.

Gu Qing Shan scowled: “Do you only know how to talk trash? You ancient cockroach?  』

The master of Purgatory stayed silent.

『 You should know, when you die, I will personally come to receive your soul  』

“But I'm still living just fine”

『 He who picked up the ancient sword, my little prey, he whose soul belongs to Purgatory, I'm going to tell you of your imminent death  』
The master of Purgatory's voice suddenly became excited 『 [Revolution] is coming! Never mind an insect like you, no creature, no living being can possibly stop the torrent of history in this great moment!  』
『 Soon, 300 million more World Layers will become the new Fallen Zones!  』
『 Once the flames of war have burnt through all 900 million World Layers, we supporters of the [Demon King Order] shall receive the ultimate glory and become the rulers of every world in the 900 million World Layers!  』

Gu Qing Shan casually replied: “This is the first time I've heard a hunting dog daydream that big”

The ferocious shadow went stiff.

Its voice then become gloomy and vicious: 『 Tiny one who likes to run his mouth, I will make sure your soul becomes an ornament on the head of my war steed, unable to die while suffering from the eternal flames, watching as the 900 million World Layers fall to ruin  』

“That day will never come” Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

『 Foolish!  』the shadow laughed in a frenzy, 『 the flow was already set, pitiful insect. are you still not clear? [Revolution] is coming, you're done for, you're all done for  』

“The war still isn't over!”

Gu Qing Shan swung his sword again.

This time, his target was the blood rune.

Crack!

Struck by the power of Lightning, the rune crumbled and broke.

The curtain of flames quickly faded away with it.

『 Once [Revolution] is born, it will surely kill you before anyone else, at that time, I will definitely come for your soul myself…  』

Saying so, the ferocious shadow disappeared together with the flames.

-------------
Note: Anyone still remember the Pope and how she left with a certain devil from a certain hell? Remember how [Origin] and [Kindling] are remarked by the War God UI to be a “newborn” [Order]? Remember how God's Chosen can supposedly sacrifice their soul to create an [Order]? Remember how that devil told the Pope that an [Order] can be used to enslave people? I'm just putting this out there as a theory, nothing is confirmed.
