Chapter 1659: Apocalyptic secret

Translator: La0o9

Gu Qing Shan’s emotions were fluctuating.

He hadn’t forgotten about the secret that Shroud entrusted to him.

—-on Dream Island, before Shroud proceeded with his Apocalypse h.o.m.ology, he had entrusted that secret to me.

The scene at the time was still fresh in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

…

“I’m not sure what it is either, apparently it was something that the frozen corpse found within the Reality Gate before it was sealed away—– I’ve tried everything I could but still couldn’t open it, but I can recall crucial portions of the frozen corpse’s memory—— this object is extremely important, even more so than any other treasures”

…

These were Shroud’s words at the time.

In other words, this secret didn’t actually belong to Shroud!

It originally belonged to the unspeakable secret Apocalypse, the Eradicator of all things and all living beings——

The frozen corpse.

——-even as the overseer of the seal, Shroud hadn’t been able to unlock this secret either!

“Gu Qing Shan, what’s the matter? Why do you look so worried?” he suddenly heard Laura’s voice.

Gu Qing Shan regained his calm.

Just in time to see Laura and the spirit girl approaching him.

“It’s nothing, I’ll get rid of this evil Holy Relic first” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

Picking up the shadow monster statue on the ground, he entered a ma.s.s of white fog.

“Don’t worry, I’ll return right away”

As the white fog scattered, his voice could be heard again.

—–since this was related to many things including that secret, it’s best that as few people know about it as possible.

There are some secrets that put people in danger simply by knowing them.

A certain corner of the city.

The white fog scattered.

Gu Qing Shan quickly arranged an isolation formation before carefully examining this shadow monster statue.

A fragment…

As Gu Qing Shan stayed silent, he heard his father’s message replaying by his ears.

…

[—-You must seize your time and search for worlds with the Jurisdiction attribute]

[The key mold is capable of manifesting, fusing, and forging the core of those worlds into a part of the Traveler’s Key]

[Once you’ve obtained the complete key, you’d be able to flee]

[—-Head to the Dusty World, that location is the gathering place of many worlds with the Jurisdiction attribute]

…

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

——right now, there’s a secret that belongs to an Apocalypse before my eyes.

At the time, the War G.o.d UI had described this secret.

…

[The most precious secret within the Reality Gate]

…

What kind of secret could be described as ‘precious’?

Gu Qing Shan absentmindedly thought this.

However, since a fragment of the Traveler’s Proof was able to unlock this secret, then let’s cast a fragment into the mold first!

Having decided this, he took out a metal mold from his chest.

——the casting mold of the Traveler’s Proof

As soon as the mold appeared, the evil Holy Relic on the ground sensed it and began to tremble terribly.

The entire evil Holy Relic flew into the air and fell onto the metal key mold, then gradually melted into a liquid that poured itself into the opening of the mold.

This liquid moved along the opening and eventually stopped right below the key handle that was created from the three coins, lightly attaching itself onto it.

The liquid quickly solidified and formed a short piece of the key’s body.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but shake his head.

——-the part of the key casted by this evil Holy Relic is too short, it’s not even 1/5th of the entire key.

It seems I’ll need to find more jurisdiction worlds in order to completely cast a Traveler’s Key using this mold.

A few lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[Attention]

[Something is about to occur…]

A ma.s.s of translucent light emerged from Gu Qing Shan’s chest, hovering above Gu Qing Shan’s hand right in front of the key mold.

——-this was the secret that Shroud entrusted to him at the time.

A voice could suddenly be heard from the translucent light:

[After betraying the Apocalypse Sequences, as well as numerous battles and fleeing, I finally found this Reality Gate]

[Other than me, no one would notice any issues with it]

[——-because it was exactly the same as the other Reality Gates]

The voice paused shortly before continuing:

[Without having the key…]

[Even if they capture me, they would still not be able to find out this secret]

[In short, my secret cannot be told to anyone, even I will forget it as well—– up until the day when I find the Traveler’s Key]

[The entire secret lies within this thought, waiting for a day in the future…]

At this point, the voice suddenly disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

——so, this ma.s.s of translucent light was originally just a thought in the frozen corpse’s head.

What kind of secret was hidden within this thought?

A few lines of glowing text quickly appeared in front of his eyes:

[Attention, half of the secret’s sealing technique that is beyond your understanding had been released]

[You must be very careful with listening and talking about it]

Gu Qing Shan instantly became fully focused and prepared himself.

Very quickly, the voice continued from the translucent ma.s.s of light:

[—–With the last of my power, I discovered an absolute ‘Effect’ among the numerous undetermined futures]

[At a certain point in the future, everything within the Reality Gate would no longer be salvageable]

[At the very moment that the Samsara Clash for Supremacy begins, the Apocalyptic Envoys hidden among the six realms will also awaken]

[The Apocalyptic Envoys will summon 99 Apocalypse Sequences to directly break through the Reality Gate and destroy everything within]

[Because of this, if I can find the Traveler’s Key, I must flee this Reality Gate before the Samsara Clash for Supremacy begins!]

[Do not stall, hurry up!]

[The true… is at…]

The voice stopped once again.

The ma.s.s of light became a bit dimmer and returned inside Gu Qing Shan’s body.

Gu Qing Shan inhaled a cold breath.

The Samsara Clash for Supremacy absolutely cannot begin!

As soon as it begins, the Apocalyptic Envoys hidden within the Samsara will immediately summon the Apocalypses.

The Samsara was the ultimate weapon of all living beings, but if no one could once again take control of it, how could they fight off the Apocalypses!?

Furthermore, there was clearly a very crucial matter that hasn’t been mentioned, why didn’t it continue?

Gu Qing Shan recalled everything that happened just now and muttered: “War G.o.d UI, did you say that this secret was only unlocked by half?”

[Indeed. The Traveler’s Proof you obtained wasn’t complete, not even half of it was present, so you can only listen to part of the secret. This is the rule established by the frozen corpse, no one would be able to break it] the War G.o.d UI replied.

“In order words, I can only learn the entire secret after I obtain the complete Traveler’s Proof”

[Correct]

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

The further one proceeds into the Dusty World, the slower time would flow relative to the outside world until it eventually stops.

This is fortunate.

At least I won’t have to worry about the Apocalypses suddenly breaking through the Reality Gate.

But the Samsara Clash for Supremacy definitely cannot begin.

Should I give up on the Samsara?

Gu Qing Shan shook his head unwillingly.

The esteemed lady of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance had said that the Samsara was a rare evolution-type jurisdiction world, and only by holding the six realms in one’s hand would we have hope.

Gu Qing Shan fell silent.

The options in front of me are nothing but absolute certain death.

Firstly, the Samsara Clash for Supremacy definitely cannot begin, otherwise, 99 Apocalypse Sequences will appear to destroy everything.

Secondly, without completing the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, the Samsara would not be able to reforge itself, and not being reforged means the power of its evolution would not be usable.

Thirdly, the Samsara cannot be given up on because it is the only hope to defeat the Apocalypses.

It’s impossible.

—–then, should I quickly complete the Traveler’s Proof and just run?

But then a fourth point would appear:

s.h.i.+fu’s soul fragment remained inside the Samsara, would I be able to give up on s.h.i.+fu and flee on my own?

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and sighed.

Without Xie Dao Ling, how would I have advanced so rapidly during this life and obtained the Earth sword?

She was an orphan, so she treats us all like her family.

Suddenly, a conversation from the Age of Old resurfaced in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

…

“…bring her to the lower realms, shelter her, and take good care of her for me”

“She is… Xie Dao Ling”

…

This was what Xie Gu Hong said at the time.

—–how did I answer him?

…

“Xie… Dao… Ling, I will make sure to remember it”

“Please don’t worry, Master, as long as I’m alive, I will definitely protect her”

…

Gu Qing Shan’s expression became stiff.

Indeed.

As long as I’m still alive, I will definitely protect her!

Even a death trap…

Doesn’t necessarily mean there isn’t a solution.

Gu Qing Shan silently put the key mold away and stepped back into the white fog, disappearing from sight.
