Chapter 1061: Return of [Order]

La0o9

The s.p.a.ce vortex returned to silence.

The ancient Divine Skill headed by the black snake had been taken over and was being led towards the Inner Plane.

Calming Soul Country had been reduced to ashes.

The G.o.d of Life and Soul Shrieker escaped by fusing together.

——all they had left was a single head, having been extremely weakened, they would most likely be forced to stay still for the next while.

Everything was over.

Gu Qing Shan and Boss didn’t remain here.

They continued traveling through a long distance before they found a relatively secluded location and released the mirror world.

Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were still resting.

Only Laura appeared.

“Gu Qing Shan, I have something to inform you” Laura acted mysteriously.

Gu Qing Shan stretched and said: “What is it? I’m really tired right now, so I hope it’s good news”

Laura told him: “It is good news. Ning Yue Chan had brought both the Angel of Condemnation Card and coin back to the Bramble Bird Kingdom”

Gu Qing Shan said without hesitation: “Then let’s return immediately to get them into our hands”

“No need” Laura waved his hand dismissively: “I’m constantly maintaining a connection with the Bramble Bird Kingdom, so it’s easy to transfer one or two items”

Laura took out an emerald green leaf and chanted the incantation.

The leaf quickly glowed luminously.

Laura appeared shocked, then started to laugh.

Gu Qing Shan heard her strange laugh and couldn’t help asking: “What is it?”

“It’s nothing, but I think it’s best that you see for yourself”

Saying so, Laura put the leaf into Gu Qing Shan’s hand and grabbed Boss.

“Boss, come with me into the mirror world, everyone is waiting for you to tell them about what happened just now”

Before Boss managed to say anything, he was pulled inside.

The surface of the mirror glimmered briefly before calming down.

The only person left in the s.p.a.ce vortex was Gu Qing Shan.

He looked at the leaf, then into the mirror world.

Only to see that Boss, Ye Fei Li, Zhang Ying Hao, and the rest were laying on one of the world’s golden beaches, enjoying the relaxing sea breeze and various Soul Points drinks, happily enjoying themselves.

Gu Qing Shan was very confused.

Oi Laura, why did you leave me here alone?

At this point, the emerald green leaf in his hand suddenly started to give off green light that manifested as a feminine figure.

——-the green light had turned into a hologram of Ning Yue Chan that stood in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The hologram managed to depict both her unique aura and her gentleness.

“Long time no see, Gu Qing Shan, I’ve gotten the Card and the coin” Ning Yue Chan told him.

She put a coin and a Card into the void of s.p.a.ce.

They both fell from above, caught in Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

Gu Qing Shan looked down.

Little Dusk was still deep asleep in the Card.

Gu Qing Shan looked up and smiled: “General Ning, you’ve had a rough journey”

“Are these two items important?” Ning Yue Chan asked.

“Extremely important” Gu Qing Shan emphasized.

Ning Yue Chan stared at him.

He stared back at her.

The two of them said nothing.

Ning Yue Chan suddenly smiled and said: “Thank you for leading me into the 900 million World Layers, teaching me the languages, and helping me into the Strife Zones—— it truly has been eye-opening, my cultivation has reached a level incomparable to the past”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “No need to be so formal, it’s only natural. Also, didn’t Su Xue Er return together with you?”

Ning Yue Chan replied: “I beat her up so she refused to return”

Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in shock: “You beat her up!?”

Ning Yue Chan nodded: “Hm, at the time, she was already exhausted, but still cried and insisted on fighting me, so I used the back of the Blade to teach her a lesson, then I checked her body——- quite a nice girl, she is still a maiden—– and finally stepped on her, telling her to cultivate herself well, otherwise she’s not going to be able to win against anyone”

“——don’t worry, her face is intact”

“She’s probably a bit dejected right now, but will readjust herself soon”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan raised his eyebrows but soon lowered them again.

Blade cultivators were all like this.

A Blade user who could treat another person this way was already considered to be very gentle.

In the cultivation world, Blade users would only treat their own disciples this way, beating them up while scolding them.

In Blade philosophy, this was called ‘removing the worldly’.

Blade users cannot stand a single grain of sand in their sight and do not hold too many extraneous thoughts in their minds.

That was why Gu Qing Shan wasn’t worried about Su Xue Er’s safety or mentality.

He was worried about something else entirely.

——-with how much of a fox he was, even if he hadn’t gotten romantically acquainted with anyone, he could still understand implications.

These two girls just ‘confronted’ one another, didn’t they!?

What the h.e.l.l, I was in a hurry to retrieve the Card from the two Deities’ hands so I didn’t have time to continue training my love skills with Ye Fei Li yet.

That love teaching video whatever that I watched before was indeed eye-opening, but it was nothing but applied skills.

All of that was much further into a relations.h.i.+p, I still haven’t even gotten into a proper relations.h.i.+p yet right now.

—–if I knew about this beforehand, I would have brushed up on my knowledge before meeting Ning Yue Chan!

What should I say now?

Seeing how panicked he seemed, Ning Yue Chan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Don’t worry, I properly held back”

“I know you would have held back, but why did you have to do that in the first place?”

Ning Yue Chan explained: “That girl called Su Xue Er, I can tell that she clearly isn’t an ordinary person, but she insists on treating herself as one. For that reason, she had been trapping herself within her own mind, leaving no room to escape”

“I was waking her up”

Gu Qing Shan was stunned: “That is… thank you”

Ning Yue Chan’s soft gaze focused on him, then muttered: “No need to thank me. Gu Qing Shan, after this Apocalypse is over, I want you to be my Dao companion”

Gu Qing Shan froze.

Huh, weren’t there supposed to be a lot more steps?

Like dinner dates, going shopping, and such.

Then confirming the relations.h.i.+p.

Why are you so direct?

I haven’t even prepared myself.

Seeing him like this, Ning Yue Chan chuckled again: “You’re usually so calm and collected with all the wits about you, but when it comes to emotions, you’re very similar to Su Xue Er”

“In what way?”

“Dummy”

Ning Yue Chan reached her hand out and touched Gu Qing Shan’s face.

“Are you willing?” she softly asked.

Gu Qing Shan froze up again.

As expected of Ning Yue Chan, I thought you were already done, but then you came forward with another slash just to make sure.

…right.

She’s a Blade user, the path of the Blade is a straightforward one, that’s why her personality is like that of a Blade, everything she says and does is pa.s.sionate and direct.

I’m a sword user, the sword is good at being flexible and changing, then… should I use sword techniques to answer this?

The essence of both the sword and the Blade is nothing but the heart.

And the desire in my heart is…

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but recall Love Master Ye Fei Li’s solemn teachings:

“A man who knows so many girls and yet doesn’t understand romance is always in the middle of an Apocalypse”

This was the teaching of the Love Master!

Gu Qing Shan answered right away: “I truly want to experience a romantic relations.h.i.+p; because I don’t understand anything about it at all”

Indeed, just like a battle, without any information, without understanding the overall situation, nothing can be done.

I first have to learn!

Learn about romance!

—–although the word ‘romance’ doesn’t exist in the cultivation world, having been in the Strife Zones for so long, Ning Yue Chan can most likely understand the meaning behind them.

She slightly lowered her head, the corners of her lips curled up a bit.

I’m still a bit embarra.s.sed after all.

“I’ll return to Shen Wu world first to report the recent events”

“Let’s talk about us later”

Saying so, the green light hologram abruptly flashed and vanished.

She left.

Gu Qing Shan was left stunned.

This girl.

You were the one who brought up the subject.

Then you said to talk about it later.

Which one am I supposed to believe?

Gu Qing Shan sighed, feeling considerable fatigue.

Compared to women, the two Deities were much easier to deal with.

He looked down at the Card and coin in his hand, then tapped his Inventory Bag to take out the [Demon King Order] coin and the Great Bramble Tree coin as well, placing them all in his hand.

The three coins, the Angel of Condemnation, the Demon King of [Order], and the Great Bramble Tree, everything has been prepared.

——-I only need to ask Laura to help summon the great tree.

All of a sudden.

Below the War G.o.d UI, the icon that represented [War G.o.d Quest] suddenly started glowing.

[War G.o.d Quest has been re-established, once again announcing a Quest:]

[Possible Quest number 1: Pursue the Deity of Chaos, the Soul Shrieker]

[Quest reward: When you kill the Deity of Chaos with your own hands, you will replace them and become the new ruler of Chaos]

[Possible Quest number 2: Save Lady Darksea]

[Quest completion: Once you accomplish this Quest, Order shall once again establish a foothold, forming an equilibrium with Chaos]

At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared in the middle of the UI:

[Chaos or Order? This is a question since time immemorial]

[This is the point where the Era of Chaos is at its weakest, as well as the most important turning point in the war between Chaos and Order]

[Between Chaos and Order, which path should the 900 million World Layers take?]

[Owner of the War G.o.d UI, you shall be the one to decide this]

[Please make your choice now]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through.

If it was anyone else that faced this choice, they might have hesitated, but he had already gone through a similar test.

At the unending abyss of broken worlds, in order to complete his World Technique, Gu Qing Shan had once entered the corpse of a parallel world and simulated a war between [Order] and [Chaos].

Indeed.

In that world, he had received his answer.

——-[Chaos] cannot be thoroughly destroyed, but as the Professionists used the world [Order] to fight against [Chaos], they managed to reach an equilibrium, then further weakened [Chaos] enough to promote the prosperity and growth of the world.

The power of a single person was simply not enough to win against the Apocalypse.

This principle had been felt by Gu Qing Shan personally, to an incredibly in-depth degree.

Boss, Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, and Laura helped him, allowing him to come up with a strategy to steal the [Order] Card from the G.o.d of Life’s hand.

While under the pursuit of one Deity, he s.n.a.t.c.hed the Card from the hands of another Deity, this seemingly impossible mission was accomplished under the unified will of everyone.

At this point.

Within the 900 million World Layers, there were s.h.i.+fu, Xiao Lou, Xiu Xiu, and his two junior sisters; as well as Su Xue Er, Anna, Ning Yue Chan; not to mention Barry, Kitty, Yun Ji, and other Combatants.

Gu Qing Shan had personally witnessed the power of [Human Regiment].

If everyone obtained the protection of [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Human Regiment], they would surely grow at a rapid pace.

At that point, only with everyone’s aid would the 900 million World Layers be able to truly grow strong.

The 900 million World Layers as a whole would obtain the strength that could rival the Apocalypse!

This was Gu Qing Shan’s true goal.

Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan declared: “I want to save Water G.o.d, issue the Quest”

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

[Where your sword points, the System’s Quest shall follow]

[In accordance with real-time circ.u.mstances, the System will set up various Soul Points usage methods for every Quest, fully supporting you]

[During this War G.o.d Quest, you will obtain the following Soul Points usage method: Offering]

[Offering: The Soul Points cost of any ability you utilize will be halved]

Following that, a new line of glowing text appeared:

[Please name this War G.o.d Quest]

Gu Qing Shan replied: “The Return of [Order]”

Following his naming, the corresponding Quest detail appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[Attention, the War G.o.d Quest had officially been issued]

[Quest name: The Return of Order]

[Quest description: Having obtained the three coins from the Age of Old, as well as gathering the Angel of Condemnation, the Great Bramble Tree, and the Demon King of Order, you may travel along the vast timeline and return to a time in the past of your choosing]

[You will need to rescue Lady Darksea in the final moments before her death, as well as returning to the present with her]

[Quest reward: There are no rewards, but the 900 million World Layers will obtain unprecedented power, allowing every person to grow strong]

[Attention! You have a full understanding of the rules of travel along the timeline and the corresponding erasure rules. Please make sure to avoid your past self, otherwise, the Law of Time will erase one of you]

[This time, you will not have any second chances]
