Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 469: No regrets

Wang Hong Dao then pinched Ye Ying Mei again.

“Master!”

Ye Ying Mei pursed her lips and softly pouted to him.

“Go quick and return quickly” Wang Hong Dao said again.

“Yes”

Ye Ying Mei spoke softly.

But her inner rage was boiling.

I really want to kill Wang Hong Dao right now on the spot.

Unfortunately, the sect will have use for Wang Hong Dao.

A Cryptic realm cultivator is extremely precious.

Even if he was only used as fodder to stop the realm demon, he’d still be able to hold it off for several breaths for the others to escape.

And the sect’s needs exceed everything else.

Ye Ying Mei sighed.

Fine.

Since there’s no way to kill Wang Hong Dao now, I’ll just give up thinking about that.

Not too long later, the sect will specifically send a few Cryptic realm cultivators over.

At that time, I’ll activate the poison that’s hidden inside Wang Hong Dao’s body.

Wang Hong Dao will quickly be captured and refined into a Cryptic realm battle puppet.

At that time, he’ll be forced to do whatever I say.

While his soul will be trapped inside his flesh.

I’ll have many more chances to torture him from now on!

Thinking it through clearly, Ye Ying Mei regained her composure.

She turned into a puff of smoke as she flew away towards Rakshasa Peak.

Back on the platform.

Wang Hong Dao stared closely at Ye Ying Mei’s back until she couldn’t be seen anymore.

His tense expression became blank.

A sword flew out from behind him, turning into Shannu.

“Gongzi, could it really be that easy to lure her away?” she asked.

“It wasn’t easy at all” Wang Hong Dao sighed, “everything I said contained so much information outside of her expectation, so much useful information piled on one after another that she really couldn’t think them all through properly in such a short time, and it only went so well because she’s always been fearful of Wang Hong Dao”

After saying so, Wang Hong Dao slowly sighed with relief.

Now that Ye Ying Mei is gone, there’s no threat for now.

I can put my effort into surviving the destruction of the world.

A breeze blew past them.

“Gongzi, let us leave—”

“Wait a bit” Wang Hong Dao cut off Shannu’s words.

He looked up, staring at the changes in the sky.

Wind.

Wind was blowing from the sky above.

And it was getting stronger.

The intense wind quickly blew past the floating island, howling as it went past the platform.

The wind was familiar, but at the same time indescribably chaotic.

Right, this was the chaotic winds of the space vortex.

It went directly through the world’s barrier and appeared inside the Suspended world.

This seems to be some sort of signal, signaling that the end of the world had begun.

The clouds in the sky were now all scattered.

Space itself was trembling without end, you could almost see a greyish broken fragment ‘flowing’ in the air.

Fragments like these were starting to fill space itself around him, it was majestic; like something was melting and turning into the ‘nothingness’ of space.

This was probably a phenomenon before the world’s destruction.

The world became still and silent.

This silence gave off an illusion that everything was normal and nothing was wrong.

But if you carefully feel this stillness, it was similar to the stifled silence of the coast before a tsunami hit the shore.

Wang Hong Dao slowly stood up.

As he stood straight, he already turned back to Gu Qing Shan.

“Shannu, I have something to ask you”

“Go ahead, gongzi”

“You’re the spirit of the Divine Mountain, existed for too long to count, have you ever seen the sight of the world’s destruction?”

Shannu sighed: “Ever since I was born, I’ve witnessed countless things and events of the Samsara world, but never have I seen the destruction of the world”

Thinking for a bit, she added: “The only time that the world almost got destroyed, it was saved by a young man from the human realm”

“Ah, so something like that happened?”

“That’s right, it was you, gongzi”

“…”

Gu Qing Shan once again looked up at the sky.

The formation clusters on top of a floating island began to shine.

Finally, every formation flashed just once before disappearing.

Only the most brilliantly shining formation remained as it suddenly erupted and pierced through the void of space.

The void of space easily shattered.

A large black tunnel appeared in the sky.

Inside the tunnel, everything was twisting, chaotic and blurry.

Intense invisible winds flowed into the Suspended world.

That floating island automatically went into the black tunnel and disappeared.

The black tunnel slowly faded away.

The floating island had fled

Roarrrr!!

The realm demon let out a majestic and deep roar.

Right after that, any floating island that could still escape quickly escaped.

The world’s collapse had sped up, and all the cultivators managed to catch the signs of this.

Every island had no choice but to venture into the unknown.

“The escape technique… how foolish… but there’s no other way for them” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

After they ‘escaped’, the only end waiting for them was certain death.

This was a death trap that the girl from before had created.

But staying in this world would also mean death.

Facing these choices, the floating islands that happened to know the technique made a gamble.

“Gongzi, what do you plan to do now?” Shannu asked in a whisper.

“We’ll—-”

Before Gu Qing Shan finished his words, a loud noise rang out.

The world itself began to shake.

Gu Qing Shan looked outside the floating island.

The realm demon’s body was moving like a mountain range, bobbing up and down.

It wasn’t Danger Hour, but the realm demon was still moving.

It also recognized the change in the world.

Perhaps the realm demon was preparing something as well.

Gu Qing Shan and Shannu both looked closely at the realm demon’s actions.

“The destruction is about to begin” Shannu muttered.

She looked at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan was still silently thinking.

Within the world’s destruction, between Gu Qing Shan and another Rakshasa candidate, the one who could survive for longer would earn his qualification. historical

The qualification to become Rakshasa.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, he glanced at the War God UI.

Right.

I didn’t know how I came back in time at the end of the world, but the War God UI must know.

Perhaps the War God UI managed to witness the scene of the end of the world.

“System, you brought me back from the end of the world, you must’ve seen the scene of the world’s destruction, can you tell me anything?”

[Ting]!

After the chime, the System replied: [I returned back in time together with you, do you understand that?]

“Yes”

[Did you see the scene of the world’s destruction?]

“I didn’t”

[That’s why, I didn’t either]

“…Fine”

Gu Qing Shan had to give up that idea.

“Gongzi?” Shannu tugged the sleeve of his shirt, whispering.

“What is it?”

Shannu had an urging expression: “Quickly use that thing, I won’t believe if you say you hadn’t thought of it”

“What thing?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

“The card, I recall that girl named Soft Note giving you a card”

Shannu continued: “Haze and Soft Note both said that the card was incredibly rare”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

Shannu knew that the card wasn’t a normal thing from having his knowledge.

After a short pause, Gu Qing Shan took out the card.

The War God UI quickly showed its description of the card.

[Predictor of Fate, rare card]

[In moments of hesitation, you may observe this card in order to see a possibility of your own fate]

Ah right, this card can supposedly see my future fate.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the card.

A dim scenery began to form on the face of the card.

In front of countless graves, a black-colored skeleton dressed in rags stood, raising a scythe in his hand.

“Seems like… Death as told in stories?” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

When the black skeleton noticed Gu Qing Shan was staring at the card, it also stared back at him.

This was the rare card, [Predictor of Fate].

And right at this moment, it was showing Gu Qing Shan’s fate of imminent death.

Shannu spoke: “I can sense a powerful Law imbued in this card. Gongzi, you should try to make the skeleton in the card disappear”

“Why do I have to make it disappear?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“If you do that, you can always avoid the danger of death ahead of time every time”

Shannu didn’t understand why Gu Qing Shan couldn’t think of such a simple thing and still asked her.

Gu Qing Shan just silently looked at the card for a bit before smiling.

“There’s no need for this” he shook his head and muttered.

“Gongzi, this is incredibly precious, an item capable of predicting good and bad fortune, why do you not need it?” Shannu couldn’t understand.

“If this card can lead a person to avoid their death, then why did Soft Note die before?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Shannu was shocked.

Because it was indeed the case.

But then…

“Soft Note was simply too confident and drew the card too late, that’s why she couldn’t save herself” Shannu answered.

“No, that wasn’t it”

“Then why?” Shannu asked.

Shannu believes in Gu Qing Shan’s decisions, but she really couldn’t understand this one.

“Shannu, remember this well, when you start to believe in fate, fate will become your master”

“But sword cultivators like us don’t believe in fate, and we certainly won’t accept it either. Our life and death will be decided by us and our own efforts”

Gu Qing Shan stared at the realm demon below the floating island and spoke simply.

The realm demon’s body was enormous like an endlessly vast ocean, without shore and without end.

The ocean of flesh and blood was kicking up the wave of this world’s destruction.

This would be the last moments of silence for this entire world.

Shannu hurriedly exclaimed: “But the world is about to collapse, the realm demon is an unstoppable force, how will we deal with such a creature?”

Gu Qing Shan smiled and answered her: “It’s because of that that I can’t let ‘fate’ lead me forward, otherwise if I happen to die like Soft Note did, I wouldn’t be able to accept it”

“If I don’t rely on fate and instead move forward by my own strength, then even if I die in the end, I wouldn’t feel any regret”

Shannu was speechless.

“That why I don’t need this card”

Gu Qing Shan put the card away.

Both he and Shannu didn’t notice how the black skeleton disappeared from the face of the card just as he was putting it into his Inventory Bag.

The card predicted Gu Qing Shan’s fate of certain death.

But just as Gu Qing Shan gave up on using the card and decided to gamble everything on his own, the prediction of death changed.

What a strange card it was.

“Since there’s still some time, let’s take one last look around the island and prepare whatever we can” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Yes, gongzi” Shannu replied.

The two of them leapt off the platform.
