Worlds' Apocalypse Online Chapter 1476 - Ruins of the Pantheon

Chapter 1476: Ruins of the Pantheon

The black dog crouched next to Gu Qing Shan’s feet and spoke in human language: “Master, please tell me what kind of existence I am, and what t.i.tle do I have”

t.i.tle?

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

—–I swear I drew a wolf, why did a dog appear?

Seeing him not react, the black dog spoke again: “Master, please grant me a t.i.tle”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Ah, then I’ll call you Black Hound”

The black dog: “…”

Gu Qing Shan explained: “You’ve only just been born, what kind of t.i.tle do you expect? Just be Black Hound for now, then we’ll talk about t.i.tles after you’ve done something”

The black dog thought briefly, then accepted that fact and didn’t say anything else.

“What does it eat?” Scarlet asked with interest.

“A dog… is an omnivore right?” Gu Qing Shan replied hesitantly.

“Let’s try”

Scarlet took a piece of bread from Shroud’s hand, then waved it in front of the dog.

Black Hound looked at the piece of bread in disdain and shook its head.

“Then, how about some meat?” Reneedol suggested.

Scarlet changed the bread in her hand to meat.

Black Hound didn’t even bother to look at it.

The group exchanged worried glances.

——–would a Law-manifested being die if they don’t eat anything?

Gu Qing Shan picked the dog up and asked: “What do you eat?”

Black Hound replied: “Just some Star Force is fine”

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “I already expended a lot of power to gather the stars to create you earlier, you’ll have to wait until I rest and recover my strength in order to eat”

Black Hound whimpered sorrowfully: “I’ve only just been born, if I don’t have anything to replenish my energy within 10 minutes, I’ll starve to death”

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit worried and clenched his teeth: “But I’ve already exhausted all of my strength, let me give it a try in a few minutes”

Black Hound said: “Actually, there is something else I can also use as sustenance aside from Star Force”

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked: “What is it?”

“Alcohol” Black Hound replied.

Gu Qing Shan glared at Black Hound.

Black Hound quickly avoided his gaze by turning its head to one side and said: “I can smell three kinds of alcohol on your body: wine, ale, and liquor, any of them can be used to save my life, woof!”

Gu Qing Shan pulled a bottle of wine out from his chest.

Black Hound’s tail began wagging.

“Wait a minute, what can you do right now? Tell me clearly and I’ll give you the wine” Gu Qing Shan said.

Black Hound replied: “My powers are currently very weak, but I can sense the location of any deaths that occurred; furthermore, I can cause any mortal you choose to fall asleep”

“The second ability is quite decent” Reneedol commented.

“I think there’s still a lot more room to grow, it’ll probably become even more powerful in the future” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Then, it’ll be able to make many people fall asleep later on?” Scarlet confusedly asked.

“No, sleeping is only the simplest method of death, perhaps it’ll evolve into a more profound power later on” Shroud replied.

“From a certain perspective, it understands the power of Laws even deeper than I do” Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.

He opened the bottle and handed it to Black Hound.

Black Hound held the wine bottle with its front paws, tilted its head up, and poured the entire bottle down its throat all at once.

“Whoa… so there’s going to be another one who tries to take my alcohol from now on”

Scarlet exclaimed, feeling a bit excited.

Gu Qing Shan noticed her reaction and said: “Now that I’ve manifested a being of Death, you should be able to do the same as well”

Scarlet excitedly replied: “Then I need to think carefully about what kind of animal I want to manifest”

She fell into thought.

At this point, Black Hound had already put the bottle down.

Its entire body grew a little bit larger, then opened its mouth and lightly inhaled.

Two dim stars appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce and entered Black Hound’s mouth.

Thanks to the power of these two stars, Black Hound’s body grew an entire size larger, small bits of faint black embers began to manifest around its body.

“So you can collect the stars by yourself as well?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I can, but like master, it takes a lot of strength” Black Hound laid flat on the ground and breathed heavily as it answered him.

It suddenly perked up its ears, apparently sensing something.

“Master, I can sense a large number of deaths occurring at the destination of this train, numerous lives have been burnt to ashes” Black Hound solemnly informed him.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

“I’m very sure. As we are speaking, those living beings have all been killed” Black Hound replied.

Everyone exchanged glances.

“What could have happened at Scavenger station? Did the pixies pick up something horrible?” Shroud was puzzled.

Gu Qing Shan tried asking again: “There aren’t even a single living being remaining?”

Black Hound affirmed: “Not a single one”

Gu Qing Shan quickly understood.

If the three men from the Pantheon were waiting for them at their destination, then they should still be alive instead of everyone being dead.

Since all living beings at the station were dead, it couldn’t have been their work.

That place was the ruins of the Pantheon, the pixies have also stayed there for countless years, so there shouldn’t have been any danger.

The pixies now use that place to sort the items fallen from the sky.

Items fallen from the sky…

Actually, aside from Samsara artifacts, there should also be Apocalypses.

The Apocalypses that came through the Reality Gate with the broken Samsara should also be falling into this world!

Gu Qing Shan suddenly stood up and loudly asked: “How much longer until we reach the Scavenger station?”

Reneedol replied: “According to the train route, we’re still about 70 miles away”

“We’re jumping off” Gu Qing Shan resolutely declared.

He opened the window and jumped out.

The others swiftly followed, landing in the dark tunnel.

Chugga chugga chugga chugga——

The train gradually travelled further away, the noises it gave off became weaker and weaker.

The four of them stood in the darkness, silently waiting for a while.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

It was only now that they relaxed slightly.

“What do we do now?” Scarlet asked.

“This tunnel should be safe—– there are a lot of branches here, let us change our path” Gu Qing Shan observed their surroundings and said.

A dark tunnel…

A Quipcraft train that connects to various places underground…

A flash of light suddenly appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

When I first entered the Wraith realm, it was also a tunnel similar to this.

The Wraith realm, the Angel’s world, not to mention many other worlds that were destroyed by the Apocalypses, were all part of the tunnel.

The giant corpse’s voice faintly sounded by his ears:

…

“The Lord of Infinite Origins had also realized the hints of this… he forged the six Sealing Tokens within the ruins of the Pantheon…”

…

That’s right!

During the Age of Immemorial, there weren’t as many worlds in the Reality Gate as there were in the future.

——there was only one.

During the previous era, this was where the Myriad Deities had resided.

And now, since the Myriad Deities had hidden into the Dusty World, this place became abandoned.

That’s why the four Pillar G.o.ds of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind created a base in this place, hoping to search for the ruins of the Pantheon.

That was why I occasionally saw some abandoned train stations when I was fleeing within the dark tunnel in the Wraith realm.

They were the train stations created by the pixie Quipcraft trains during the Age of Immemorial!

“What’s wrong?” Shroud noticed something was wrong with Gu Qing Shan’s expression and asked.

“I’m just wondering—— could we already be within the ruins of the Pantheon?” Gu Qing Shan hesitantly replied.

“Why do you think so?” Reneedol asked.

Gu Qing Shan walked to the border of the tunnel and lightly patted it.

“Shroud, we need a bit of light” Gu Qing Shan said.

Shroud raised his hand.

The warm light overcame the darkness and illuminated their surroundings.

Everyone couldn’t help but look up.

“How tall!” Shroud exclaimed.

“That’s true, this tunnel is a bit grand” Scarlet also exclaimed.

The entire tunnel appeared to be several hundred stories tall, the four of them were standing at a corner of the tunnel, which made them seem like ants in front of a building.

Numerous beautiful patterns and unnamed murals were carved onto the walls.

The majority of the murals had already been damaged, but some of them remained intact, which displayed completely unheard of scenes.

——–none of them had anything to do with the pixies.

While it was called a ‘tunnel’, every direction was actually open with numerous branching paths and opened windows built onto the walls. Although, the majority of them had been marked out by the pixies with various warnings:

[Danger!]

[Very dangerous!]

[Absolutely do not enter!]

[Even pixies will die if you enter this branch, definitely do not go in!]

As a gust of gloomy wind blew within the tunnel, some warped whistling noises could occasionally be heard.

Scarlet couldn’t help herself exclaiming:

“Oh my G.o.d, Rhode was right, these are the ruins of the Age of Myriad Deities!”
