Worlds' Apocalypse Online Chapter 1004 - How Come I Didn't Know About That

Chapter 1004: How Come I Didn’t Know About That?

The airs.h.i.+p.

The whispers of discussion that sounded from the void of s.p.a.ce had already subsided.

The fully-armored soldiers whose bodies emanated intense power slowly retreated into the shadow and vanished from the airs.h.i.+p.

The General was the last person to leave.

He stared closely at Boss and said with an unchanged expression on his face: “Continue flying forward through 163 worlds, we will prepare to open the barrier at that area to grant your airs.h.i.+p entry”

“This is in order to prevent anyone from discovering our true coordinates”

“I hope you can understand”

“Very well, I’ll trouble you—– but you really should’ve had this att.i.tude from the very beginning, I would’ve bestowed a small gift to you for your troubles, but regretfully, you ruined it” Boss appeared regretfully.

The General seemed to want to say something but held himself back.

He turned around, took a few steps, and vanished from the airs.h.i.+p completely.

Everything around them returned to silence.

Hiii——- hoh—–

Boss inhaled deeply, then exhaled.

He dropped down on his b.u.t.t and called out: “Drink! Give me a drink!”

Ye Fei Li manifested a Soul Points drink and handed it over.

Boss drank the entire thing all at once, slowly dragged himself on the ground until he sat supporting his back with the wall.

“Listen, we don’t have much time. Before we arrive at that place, I need to explain to you what’s going on”

Boss’ tone became hurried:

“That place is made up of mortals, Demis, the council of Elders, and the Deities. The ones with the highest authority are the Deities, but they very rarely show up, so those truly in charge are actually the council of Elders”

“Under the Elders, every Demi will awaken a Divine Skill on the day they are born—— this is the natural-born ability of a Demi, which is also the main difference between them and mortals”

“Because of this, you shouldn’t act too arrogant, otherwise my current self won’t have the power to save you”

Boss glanced at Gu Qing Shan and said: “Especially you”

Gu Qing Shan smiled to gloss things over and asked: “So Deities actually exist?”

Boss replied: “Not before, the return of the Deities only occurred a few ten thousand years ago”

Ye Fei Li was fascinated by his description of Demis and spoke emotionally: “Awakening a Divine Skill since birth——– that’s incredible, so the majority of people in that place are Demis?”

Boss shook his head: “No, the majority of them are humans, as well as some other rare creatures. Demis only make up a third of their total population, but they’re the strongest”

Zhang Ying Hao has been wondering something for a while now, so he tried asking: “Which Deity are they the descendants of?”

Boss asked: “Do you know of the Seven G.o.ds?”

“You mean the seven Daemons of the Strife Zones?”

“Yup, they’re those guys’ descendants”

“Where did the seven Daemons come from? And are they dead or alive?”

“These two questions of yours are quite decent” Boss praised him, then explained: “It’s unsure whether or not those seven Deities are still alive, but they all escaped here when the Inner Plane was destroyed”

Gu Qing Shan pursued the topic: “Then, what about the four Pillar G.o.ds? Did they also escape from the Inner Plane?”

“No, the reason why they’re called the Pillar G.o.ds is that the four G.o.ds of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind rule over this entire s.p.a.ce vortex, they are the original G.o.ds of the void”

Gu Qing Shan went silent.

Who would’ve thought, the situation in the s.p.a.ce vortex would turn out to be so complicated?

——-the seven Daemons came from the Inner Plane.

——-the Bygone Era humans arrived from a parallel world, escaping here in order to seek refuge.

Only the four Pillar G.o.ds originally belong to this void and are its true rulers.

Laura suddenly spoke up: “Our s.h.i.+p is being caught within a certain force, the s.p.a.ce around us has also begun to distort, we’d most likely enter a spatial warp state very soon”

Boss carefully informed everyone again: “Keep my words just now in mind——- that location has gotten far stronger than anything you’ve ever seen; it isn’t a place for you to act as you pleased. From now on, you must watch everything you say and do, otherwise, you might just be inviting your own deaths”

Everyone responded affirmatively.

As soon as they did, an opening appeared in the middle of the void just a bit diagonal of their airs.h.i.+p.

The opening exuded an immense suction force that enveloped the s.h.i.+p and caused it to vanish from the void.

Meanwhile, from Gu Qing Shan’s group perspectives, the s.h.i.+p had instead begun to slow down, gradually moving forward within a world of blue.

“Look!”

Laura pointed to the screen that monitored the outside of the s.h.i.+p.

Everyone turned their attention towards it.

Only to see a vast blue sky outside their window that was dotted with tiny sparks of light and a brightly s.h.i.+ning white star.

The star gave off a warm and holy radiance that illuminated this entire world.

Below the sky was a city made entirely out of ivory white rocks.

The city was so vast, so huge that it stretched to the very end of their visions.

Layers upon layers of soft glowing runes were draping down from above, perfectly encompa.s.sing the border of the city in every direction and covered it entirely.

“We’re here. This huge isolated city is the Calming Soul Country” Boss sighed.

Gu Qing Shan stared into the screen and pointed his hand at a certain part: “Boss, what are those statues?”

Boss turned to where he was pointing to see that Gu Qing Shan was looking at the inner city, where four statues of white marble had been erected in the shapes of four objects:

A golden coin.

A blue key.

A crimson pendant.

A black book.

Boss smiled and explained: “These are the symbols of the four Pillar G.o.ds, representing the four areas of Calming Soul Country under their protection”

“Is that so? Are they really protecting this place?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“That’s right, for the past few ten thousand years, the four Pillar G.o.ds have been here ruling over Calming Soul Country” Boss replied.

Gu Qing Shan went silent for a moment.

Until finally, he muttered in a low voice: “Really now? How come I didn’t know about that…”

…

The s.p.a.ce vortex.

When Gu Qing Shan’s group was sucked into Calming Soul Country and vanished from the 900 million World Layers.

The Soul Shrieker immediately noticed.

It dashed to the front of the s.h.i.+p and peered into the void.

——-they actually vanished!

The Soul Shrieker was stunned for a moment.

「『 Why did they suddenly disappear? That isn’t possible…」』

It muttered.

Recognizing that something was wrong, the captain of the s.h.i.+p went forward and asked: “Your Excellency, did something happen? Did something happen enroute?”

「『 No, continue forward, I need to observe it personally 」』the Soul Shrieker ordered.

“Understood!” the captain replied.

The s.h.i.+p continued to quickly sail through the void.

Time pa.s.sed.

Half a day later.

The s.h.i.+p arrived where Gu Qing Shan’s group disappeared.

The Soul Shrieker went around, but found nothing.

It then ordered the s.h.i.+p’s crew members to search the void.

After a long while.

Still nothing.

The Soul Shrieker didn’t give up and chanted an incantation to summon more carriers of [Chaos].

It called upon every carrier of [Chaos] that were experts at searching, filling up the entire s.h.i.+p.

Everyone was then sent out to search for Gu Qing Shan and his group’s whereabouts.

One day pa.s.sed.

The [Demon King Order] and its carrier seemed to have vanished from this world.

Even after trying everything it could, the Soul Shrieker still couldn’t locate the [Demon King Order].

The search continued until the fifth day.

When the Soul Shrieker finally changed its tactics.

It activated a technique to make a declaration to the infinite worlds within the void.

「『 All carriers of [Chaos]! 」』

『「 From now on, all of you shall focus on advancing your power 』」

「『 Because—– 」』

『「 Soon, I shall become your Deity and lead you to conquer every world! 』」

Every carrier of [Chaos] on the s.h.i.+p scattered right away.

The Soul Shrieker undid their summon, returning them to their original locations.

The only one left on the s.h.i.+p was the Soul Shrieker.

It sat down on the deck of the s.h.i.+p, silently peering into the void.

「『 Gu Qing Shan, I a.s.sume that you’ve entered some sort of secret location 」』

「『 I truly must say, you are indeed smart 」』

「『 —–but do you actually think you can avoid me forever? 」』

The Soul Shrieker displayed a vicious cruel smile.

「『 Step by step, I am climbing the steps to become the Deity of [Chaos], while you and your [Order] can’t possibly hide in that secret location forever 」』

「『 I shall wait right here, patiently, for you to appear 」』

『「 And when you do…』」

『「 It shall be time to finish everything! 』」
