World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 894 - Risk of Death In Every Corner

Chapter 894: Risk of Death In Every Corner

A thick forest

Gu Qing Shan was standing alone on the branch of a tree.

He could feel that he had already lost his supernatural powers and turned into a normal person.

A small stream flowed in a zig-zag manner along the forest and far away.

By the stream, on the other side of the forest, there was a building made of red bricks.

Within the Gemini star, the only place that could provide people rest was that red brick house.

Besides this place, the only safe location was the stream.

If one did not rest inside the red brick house, nor remained near the stream, they would basically be one step from death.

There were countless strange and anomalous things outside this area that would ‘deal with’ anyone who merely touched them.

Being so-called ‘dealt with’ could mean——

Killed.

Devoured.

Absorbed.

Trapped.

Shattered.

Sealed away.

Of course, there was also a certain outcome among the countless ways of being ‘dealt with’——

Being transported to another world.

This was the best possible outcome.

Gu Qing Shan slowly climbed down from the tree and stood by the flowing stream.

“How is it?” he asked.

Shannu’s voice emerged from the void of s.p.a.ce: “Can be broken”

Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised and muttered: “The world of the four Saint Pillars can seal all supernatural powers, yet you can break them?”

“Yes, gongzi, I can still break them” Shannu replied.

They were discussing Shannu’s Thaumaturgy——- [Law Breaker]

[Law Breaker: Within the infinite worlds, no Law can affect this sword]

Gu Qing Shan blankly muttered: “Now I’m starting to understand a certain thing”

“What is it?”

“———why the Samsara was hailed as humanity’s ultimate weapon”

A sound arrived from above.

Xiu xiu xiu!

(Time’s about to run out!)

A jade gourd pendant flew down from above and bestowed a technique onto Gu Qing Shan.

Xiu, xiu xiu xiu!

(Hurry, this is [Existence]!)

Lines of glowing text then appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.

[You’ve temporarily obtained the Skill: Existence]

[Causality Skill: Existence, when you want to become a certain ent.i.ty, as long as you declare so, such an ent.i.ty will exist in the world]

[Time to unleash Skill left: 29 seconds]

[You have 28 seconds left to use this Skill, after that, you will no longer be able to unleash any supernatural powers]

The gourd quickly squeaked into his ears and explained the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s transformation.

Gu Qing Shan quickly understood.

12 seconds left.

He didn’t have much time, so he quickly activated [Existence] and swiftly chanted:

“There exists an old man with a mysterious background within the Gemini star, he doesn’t seem to belong to any known race. He is a master of culinary arts, legends have it that if one eats the noodles he makes, they would gain his favor and find out a method to leave this world”

After chanting that, Gu Qing Shan silently waited.

There were countless ways to leave the Gemini star, but each method led to a completely different location.

For people within the Gemini star, information about where to leave and where that exit would lead to were the most important type of intelligence.

Since Gu Qing Shan had the star chart, he naturally knew every method to leave.

——and according to the star chart’s guidance, Gu Qing Shan would first need to enter the red brick house and look for a certain item that would be crucial for traveling to the next world.

After obtaining that item, he would need to go along the stream to the very end, where there was a dried-up well.

By jumping inside the well and breaking the wall at the bottom, he would find a hidden treasure room.

All the treasures in the room had already been taken, so there were only empty stone chests in there.

Gu Qing Shan must sit inside the 5th stone chest from the left, close the chest, then activate the crucial item in order to be transported to the next world.

This was the most secretive path in this world.

Time slowly pa.s.sed.

But very strangely—–

Besides turning into an ugly-looking old man, Gu Qing Shan didn’t feel any other changes.

Gu Qing Shan hesitated a bit and asked the jade gourd pendant: “You said that you saw her turning into a human female after using the Causality Skill?”

Xiu!

The gourd confirmed it.

“Strange, does the ability only create a change in appearance?” Gu Qing Shan stroked his face and pondered.

“Pft—”

It was the sound of someone unable to hold back their laughter.

When Gu Qing Shan looked over, he found that it was Shannu.

Since she had the [Law Breaker] property, the world’s Law couldn’t restrain her and she was able to hover in the air without any issue.

As Gu Qing Shan saw the smile on Shannu’s face, he finally realized.

——-since I’m already a chef, there was no need to change any further.

But as the Causality Skill: [Existence] was activated, the perception of everyone in this world must have been altered.

“Gongzi, this won’t work. Although you made it so that such a person exists, you won’t be able to use your Occult ability in this world” Shannu reminded him.

“Who said that I’m going to be the one who uses the ability?”

“Then——”

“I only made it so that such a person exists in this world, and since you have [Law Breaker] and is unaffected by the Laws of this world, you can transform into my current appearance and impersonate me to use that ability in my stead”

Shannu tilted her head briefly and couldn’t help but stare blankly at Gu Qing Shan.

“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Gongzi, I really can’t help but praise your numerous wicked ideas…” Shannu muttered.

“Don’t call it a wicked idea, this is called having flexibility”

“I see no difference”

“There’s a big difference”

“Gongzi, if I’m going to be cooking, then what are you going to do?”

“I’ll try to think of a solution——” Gu Qing Shan scowled and couldn’t help but sighed: “The Gemini star sealed the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s supernatural abilities, but not her physical abilities. I feel like it would still be nearly impossible for us to kill her”

“Gongzi, wasn’t your goal to return to the 900 million World Layers? Why are you trying to kill her at the first opportunity you have?”

“Because her ability is truly terrifying”

…

The red brick house.

An alluring tall slender woman pushed open the door.

A voice immediately sounded from the main hall: “This place is full, get out”

She looked over.

Several people were sitting around the hallway of the main hall with their backs to the wall, playing some sort of card game.

Several doors lined both sides of the hallway, where voices could be heard coming from inside.

There were a total of ten rooms, all of which were full.

The woman glanced around, but couldn’t find Gu Qing Shan.

She continued to head inside.

The people who were originally playing cards noticed that she didn’t leave right away and looked up curiously.

“Ah—–”

“It’s her”

“It’s that esteemed lady”

They suddenly recalled a certain person.

There exists a highly respected lady within the Gemini star. She killed for a living, powerful enough to strike fear into the hearts of many. All of those who had attempted to kill her had died. The people respect her strength and her means, thus willing to please her.

And she was the woman right in front of them!

Those people hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully: “Esteemed lady, do you have something you need from us?”

The woman didn’t answer.

She directly headed inside, ignored the careful glances and respectful greetings of everyone there, checking every room once

Still no Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan wasn’t here.

The woman stood still in the hallway and fell into thought.

A two-headed, 3-meter tall monster prostrated at her feet and asked flatteringly: 「 Milady, do you have anything you need? Or perhaps, do you have someone you need to be killed? I am willing to offer you my services 」

Everyone respectfully waited on one side and held their breaths, not one of them dared to breathe too heavily.

Although everyone on this planet had lost their supernatural abilities, there were always terrifyingly strong ones who could take control of it all through their natural physical strength.

The woman finally spoke up: “Which one of you came here most recently?”

Everyone hesitated and looked down at the woman’s feet.

The large monster that was prostrating at her feet and spoke flatteringly again: 「 Milady, I’ve only just arrived 」

“Is that so?”

「 That is indeed so 」

“It seems we were predestined to meet…”

The woman reached her hand out and stroked the ugly monster’s terrifying head.

—–then abruptly went through the monster’s skull, like poking through a thin layer of paper—– her hand went completely inside.

From her casual look, it could be seen that it didn’t take much for her to do that.

The monster’s body s.h.i.+vered, then became limp.

The woman waited for a while.

But the monster remained the same.

“Seems like it wasn’t [Mystery of All Beings Equal]…”

The woman pulled her hand out from the messed-up brain of the monster and muttered disappointedly.

“Gu Qing Shan, I already know all of your tricks, don’t even think of leaving here alive!”
