World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 1599 - I beg you all!

Chapter 1599: I beg you all!

After unleas.h.i.+ng [Ethereal – Myriad Shadows], Gu Qing Shan had silently waited to see if the glowing cloaked skeleton would return or not.

While waiting, he also took the time to look at the War G.o.d UI.

Several notifications had appeared during the previous battle and remained here since then:

[You obtained the unique item: the frozen corpse’s bone]

[This item was one of the six body parts that made up the frozen corpse]

[This item had fused with the Bell Ring Dog Battlemask and turned into the skull gauntlets that you’re wearing]

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed——-

Finally, I don’t have to worry about carrying a dog’s head everywhere.

However, this was something that one of the absolute strongest ent.i.ties to ever exist in the void had turned into, so its power must be unimaginable.

Gu Qing Shan continued to read the messages in the void of s.p.a.ce:

[Gauntlet: Frozen Bone]

[Product of Apocalypse h.o.m.ology, currently in a faux state of death, has the following abilities:]

[All Things Destruction: All defensive items that are struck by these gauntlets will directly break into pieces]

[Frozen Touch: The overseer of the seal and the bone of the frozen corpse had fused to create this pair of gauntlets. While wearing it, you will not be attacked by the frozen corpse’s other body parts. You will be able to more accurately discern where the frozen corpse’s body parts are being buried]

[Mystery of Apocalypse Equal (intermediate): Apocalypses will consider you their compatriots]

[Temporary Manifestation: Whenever you obtain one of the frozen corpse’s parts, you will immediately be capable of using that part’s power. Specifics are unknown]

[Awaken: When you obtain all the frozen corpse parts hidden by the Sealing Tokens, they will awaken together with Shroud turning into the new Secret Apocalypse]

[Power Parasite: You will need to wear or carry it in your hands to allow it to absorb your power of Death, thus maintaining its existence]

[Shroud’s will is with you]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through it.

Destroying all defensive items?

What an interesting power.

But I don’t have the time to slowly experience these gauntlets’ power right now.

——-while the glowing cloaked skeleton is still unable to escape, it’s time for me to find the next location of the frozen corpse’s body part.

The skull gauntlets exuded fluctuations and quickly helped Gu Qing Shan discern a direction.

“It’s… over there?”

He looked above the sky, his gaze seemingly peering through the astronomical distance to observe an unknown place.

A gust of wind suddenly grew stronger.

He followed the wind into the sky, then cut through the world barrier before disappearing from the Doomsday Necropolis.

…

——-the s.p.a.ce Vortex.

Within the dark void, strong wind continuously swept in every direction at once.

Gu Qing Shan was flying as fast as he could towards a certain direction.

The next body part of the frozen corpse lies in this direction

But after flying for not too long, he suddenly stopped and turned his eyes towards the darkness just a bit further away.

“Ah? This presence… it’s quite close… Alright, it won’t take much time anyways, and it could also help me grow a bit stronger…”

Gu Qing Shan pondered briefly before he made his decision.

He changed the direction of his flight and flew towards another direction in the s.p.a.ce Vortex.

About five minutes later.

He stopped in the void and looked into the distance.

——there was a small piece of rock that continuously radiated yellow smoke

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[Through the Sacrificial Dance, you’ve killed and converted countless dead people]

[And now, you’ve discovered the Huang Quan world fragment that they’re currently residing in]

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

During the Sacrificial Dance, that esteemed lady had told me that all the converted dead people would appear in a Huang Quan world fragment that was closest to the Doomsday Necropolis.

And now, I’ve run into it on my way.

Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan’s figure flashed and flew into the smoky piece of rock.

Hoh—–

As he approached it, he was fully enveloped by the smoke and vanished.

…

The world was yellow.

A sandstorm had filled the entire world, leaving only the faintest of light in the sky.

A great river that extended endlessly far across the entire world.

The river water was faint yellow with an intense surging flow.

Gu Qing Shan slowly descended from the sky.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword flew forward and spun around him nonstop.

“Come” Gu Qing Shan said.

The sword turned into a blue-dress maid who happily looked down towards this vast world.

“Gongzi, it’s been so long since we’ve seen the Huang Quan world”

“Hm, I also feel a bit nostalgic” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The two of them examined this Huang Quan world together.

“This fragment world isn’t particularly big, I can’t sense the presence of any other Divine Artifacts” Shannu sighed.

“——strange, why are there dead people everywhere here?” Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.

The Heaven sword also flew out and curiously looked around.

Luo Bing Li’s voice was heard coming from the Heaven sword: “Hmph, aren’t they the dead people that you took from the River of Death?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I had thought that they were going to enter reincarnation right away”

The Earth sword’s heavy mountainous voice resounded: 「 Tsk tsk, they don’t seem to be under the restraints of the Huang Quan world’s Law. Not only do they not enter reincarnation, they’ve even establis.h.i.+ng their forces here 」

Gu Qing Shan looked at the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

Numerous dead people had taken up the entire mountain.

They each claim a part of the territory in accordance with their strength, occasionally competing against one another.

“Shannu, you’ve been at the Huang Quan realm a lot longer than I have, do you know what’s going on here?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Shannu furrowed her eyebrows a bit and thought for a while before answering: “Gongzi, for Huang Quan, these dead people had appeared out of nowhere, they don’t have a previous life, so they don’t have any virtuous or bad karma, nor do they have a connection between lives, which makes them unrestrained by the Laws of Huang Quan”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised and nodded: “So that was the case”

At this point, a figure flew over from the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and stopped in front of Gu Qing Shan.

From the Age of Immemorial, the comrade who had trained and fought by Shroud’s and Gu Qing Shan’s side, Atley.

“Rhode, we meet again”

Atley leisurely said.

He clapped his hand.

Instantly, the numerous dead people all over the mountain range stopped their fighting and looked at the sky.

“This is a world of the dead; dead people cannot die here. I wonder if you came here just to kill me once again” Atley coldly said.

On the ground, the dead people were all shouting and screaming in unwillingness.

Gu Qing Shan appeared to be in a trance and was simply staring at Atley. He was silently recalling his tearful expression of regret before he died while he was under the Deity of Fate’s influence.

“Hah, Atley, I heard that Shroud had once thought of a way to save you and Epta, why did you refuse him?” Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked.

Atley calmly replied: “He had indeed made his way into the River of Death once. At the time, he was the most powerful ent.i.ty in reality, the Lord of Infinite Origins, while I was nothing but a dead soul. Even if I had been taken away like Epta, all that would have done was change my sleeping place. I would still have had to wait for your salvation in the future”

“What’s so bad about that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Atley’s voice contained a hint of indiscernible emotion: “One of you was the Lord of Radiance, while the other was the Death G.o.d, but what about me? How should I have reacted after I was saved? Am I supposed to cry tears of joy and continue following you? Or did you need a servant to b.u.t.ter yourselves up?”

“No, we considered you our comrade, that’s why we saved you” Gu Qing Shan corrected him.

“But I would never be able to catch up to the two of you” Atley replied.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “That’s called tunnel vision——– just look at me, I’m no match for the glowing cloaked skeleton when it comes to power, but when it comes to dancing, cooking, and mixing drinks, it isn’t a match for me”

Atley stared straight at him, then looked up at the sky and laughed maniacally, loudly shouting:

“Such lies, oh venerable Death G.o.d. You and Shroud had both taken up authorities within the Twin River of Life and Death, one of you was the lord of the Realm of Life, the other was the ruler of the River of Death”

“It wasn’t until both of you were afraid that your names would be sullied that you remembered about your comrades that still needed to be saved. Meanwhile, Epta and I had to suffer through countless years of hards.h.i.+p and suffering within the dark and cold River of Death!”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “You’re wrong, Atley, we’ve always kept you in mind, but we had other matters that we had to attend to no matter what”

“And what would that be?” Atley asked.

“We needed to ensure that we’d be able to survive first, then ensure that Reality wouldn’t be destroyed” Gu Qing Shan sincerely answered.

“And why didn’t you save us first? Weren’t we your so-called ‘comrades’?” Atley coldly sneered.

Shannu couldn’t take it anymore and cut in: “You’re such a selfish person—— my gongzi had to go through endless bitterness in order to leave the Age of Immemorial alive, Shroud was also constantly under Reneedol control and even died once before he was resurrected. Why are you blaming them instead of thinking about what you could have done instead?”

“I’M NOT WRONG! I was simply not strong enough!” Atley furiously shouted back.

“Oh really?” Luo Bing Li also manifested into her human cultivator form and coldly asked: “The ones who killed you were the Deities of Fate and the other Deities, perhaps there were even some string pulling from Reneedol, why don’t I see you taking your revenge against them?”

The Earth sword’s mountainous heavy voice resounded: 「 A person who wouldn’t even avenge the grudge of their own death and instead berates their previous comrades, is that really what you think is correct? 」

The Chao Yin sword also gave off a clearly displeased vibration.

Atley was unable to refute him.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and said: “Come on, Atley, head into reincarnation. Perhaps the next time you’ll go further, even further than Shroud and I had ever gone”

He continued: “I have a gift for you, this is the final——”

Atley abruptly cut him off and shouted: “Forward!”

The countless dead people on the ground uttered a resounding response.

They all rushed into the sky and surrounded Gu Qing Shan from every direction, putting him in the very middle.

“Ahaha, Rhode, this place isn’t the River of Death, it isn’t under your control—— and we won’t die in this world. I’d like to see just how you can win against us this time!”

Atley laughed hysterically and gave the signal.

Roar!!!

All the dead people uttered a battle cry filled with killing intent and drew their weapons, charging at him in unison.

Gu Qing Shan s.h.i.+vered a bit.

Even while the weapons were about to strike him, he still didn’t move.

Clink cling clink cling!

The four swords continuously moved around to fend off all the attacks.

Gu Qing Shan looked straight at Atley.

——Atley’s gaze was filled with cruelty.

Gu Qing Shan pulled his gaze back and sighed: “Even your emotions are gone”

His figure shook and moved through the layers of dead people towards the sky higher than that.

“Listen, I don’t have any grudges against you all, I simply saved you from the Apocalypse!”

He loudly declared to the dead people below.

“Save? We were originally going to obtain enough power to fight against everything, but now we’re trapped here with nothing!” Atley shouted.

“That’s right!”

“Right, it was all because of this Death G.o.d from the Twin Rivers of Life and Death!”

“We would have been able to conquer the infinite worlds!”

The dead people angrily roared and swung their weapons.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and called out again with a hoa.r.s.e voice: “Listen to me, you all need to reincarnate, or else you will really die if you continue to stay here—– I beg you all!”

All the dead people ignored his words and simply wielded their weapons to continue charging towards him.

Gu Qing Shan appeared helpless——-

A long black scepter had appeared in his hand at some point in time.

As the head of the scepter lit up with bright red light, the hesitant expression on his face slowly faded away and turned into nothing but merciless indifference.

「 It’s over 」the Earth sword spoke in a low voice.
