Chapter 1277: The end

“Eat slowly”

“Meow”

“There’s still another one, here”

“Meow meow”

In the medical ward, an orange cat was busily chewing away at a fish.

Several sets of fish bones were being thrown behind him one by one.

He was happily eating without care.

“Six… seven… eight… nine… although it makes sense for a cat to eat fish, but why is your stomach like a bottomless hole?” NEET Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.

The orange cat wiped his mouth and replied: “Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow”

NEET Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “So once you transform into a cat, you can convert any energy into Soul Points? What a great ability”

He scanned the outside with his inner sight.

An aloof palace maid was unleas.h.i.+ng a barrage of endless punches, striking the elemental giant to the point that it couldn’t move an inch, forced to stay still and have its power absorbed.

NEET Gu Qing Shan regained his spirits and looked at the orange cat.

He suddenly clapped his hands: “I can absorb and manifest energy from the monster, while you can infinitely absorb power, turning it into Soul Points…”

The orange cat also paused, staring at the UI in the void of s.p.a.ce.

Lines of glowing text were appearing one after another:

[Through eating, you’ve obtained 70,000 Soul Points]

[Through eating, you’ve obtained 190,000 Soul Points]

…

The orange cat appeared full of wonder.

Salted fish.

And then—— an orange cat——

Cat and fish.

This kind of eating, ah no—— fighting style was nothing short of the perfect fighting style.

NEET Gu Qing Shan and the orange cat glanced at each other, then both nodded.

“Alright, then we can afford to cause a huge commotion without issues” NEET Gu Qing Shan happily said.

“Meow~!”

The orange cat also agreed.

Suddenly, the elemental giant from outside abruptly roared: 「 NO, I CAN’T ACCEPT THIS! THIS ISN’T HOW HISTORY WENT! 」

Hoh——–

An intense current of power flowed from every direction.

The world itself abruptly shattered, turning into numerous spiraling images.

At this moment, both the orange cat and NEET Gu Qing Shan understood.

————following original history, this world should have come to an end at this point in time.

In other words, they managed to survive until the end!

NEET Gu Qing Shan pondered: “I will probably be transported to the Asura tomb, it’s a hidden location, upstream from where you are”

The orange cat reached his paw forward, giving the other party a jade tablet, and said: “Meow meow!”

NEET Gu Qing Shan nodded: “Right, with the jade tablet here, I’ll inform you of anything I can see”

——when this Apocalypse flowed downstream earlier, it was NEET Gu Qing Shan who sent him the reminder.

The way to react would naturally change if he was informed of anything before it occurred.

A moment later.

NEET Gu Qing Shan was pulled away by some sort of force, disappearing from the orange cat’s vision.

Everything around them slowly faded away.

The silent and frigid Tomb River reappeared.

The Wraith’s corpse silently continued to float in the water.

The orange cat landed.

He turned back into Li Qiu Shan and stood on top of the Wraith’s corpse.

Various noises sounded from all around:

“What happened!?”

“Why did his grace Beast King G.o.d not return?”

“Where are the others?”

“Why are we the only ones here?”

Gu Qing Shan looked around.

Around ten humans, both male and female, were standing on top of the Wraith’s corpse, looking into their surroundings.

——all of them were the Beast King G.o.d’s subordinates.

Asura Gu Qing Shan had purposely picked out a group to follow the Beast King G.o.d and die with him thanks to NEET Gu Qing Shan’s aid, in consideration that too many of them would instead make things difficult, these people were left aside.

Shan Hai Qi Xia had also returned, quickly blinking at him.

—–what should we do now?

Everyone on our sides is already dead, if we truly fought here, just the two of us would definitely not be a match for these people.

Gu Qing Shan was about to say something when a hand appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce to give him the jade tablet.

Gu Qing Shan received and scanned it through his inner sight.

NEET Gu Qing Shan’s voice came from the jade tablet:

[So… I didn’t think I’d return exactly where I was previously. If you’re still on top of the Wraith’s back, please pay attention, a unique Apocalypse is heading towards you]

[I’ve come into contact with this Apocalypse once before, it was the type to bully the weak while being afraid of the strong]

[It would determine what factions a group of people might be divided into, then take the faction with the least members among the most obvious factions into an Apocalypse illusion]

[You only have that woman by your side right now, be very careful]

Gu Qing Shan put the jade tablet away, looked at the monsters in front of him, and quickly affirmed the situation.

——–the only person on my side is Shan Hai Qi Xia, while there were still over ten people on the Beast King G.o.d’s side.

If the situation is allowed to continue like this, wouldn’t it be me and Shan Hai Qi Xia who gets caught in the Apocalypse illusion?

Gu Qing Shan paused slightly, then abruptly shouted: “All of you, silence!”

His shout overwhelmed everyone else’s voices.

“War Shaman, what do you want?” a monster asked.

Gu Qing Shan calmly looked at it, then made a trembling declaration:

“The Beast King G.o.d had been killed by Gu Qing Shan!”

What!!?

Every monster at the scene turned to a certain individual among them.

That individual had already knelt on top of the Wraith’s corpse, murmuring something in their mouth.

Several pieces of broken bone were then scattered forward, forming a pattern as it rolled forward.

The individual stared closely at the pieces of bones and sighed: “The Shaman is correct, boss is dead, killed by a human sword cultivator”

All the monsters became speechless.

After a long while, someone spoke up: “I can’t believe it. His grace Beast King G.o.d had already stolen such a powerful inheritance and obtained the unparalleled legendary power, how did he still lose to a human?”

The one who performed the Divination asked: “It was due to a joint effort of the Apocalypse and that human, otherwise sir Beast King G.o.d would not have died”

He then turned to Gu Qing Shan and shouted: “Sir War Shaman, you had already formed an alliance with sir Beast King G.o.d, why did you not act against that?”

Gu Qing Shan grinned and replied: “Your Beast King G.o.d wanted to kill me as well, why would I still care about our previous arrangements?”

“I can help the Shaman prove this” Shan Hai Qi Xia then stepped forward and rang her small bell towards Gu Qing Shan.

A scene appeared in front of everyone.

It was the scene of how the Beast King G.o.d forced the Shaman to probe the Apocalypse in front of the city gates.

This time, none of the monsters could say anything.

Gu Qing Shan stared down at these monsters, then calmly said: “The era chooses its Combatants and fate chooses those fit to survive. This Apocalypse had clearly proven a certain thing”

Everyone focused their attention on him.

Gu Qing Shan focused his mind on the War G.o.d UI, silently equipping and activating [Reality’s Most Amorous Man] from among his [War G.o.d t.i.tles].

He slowly spoke: “The Beast King G.o.d’s death proved that it could not lead you all to accomplish what you wanted to. While I, as the War Shaman, am the strongest one of us all——– I am the only leader fit to truly lead you!”

Everyone was all a bit stunned.

That makes sense…

——-the Beast King G.o.d and the War Shaman had always been the two strongest ones among them, it’s just that the two of them had always been at odds with one another.

And now, the Beast King G.o.d was dead.

The only one left who could lead them would naturally be the War Shaman.

After Gu Qing Shan made the statement, the t.i.tle [Reality’s Most Amorous Man] became greyed-out on the War G.o.d UI.

This t.i.tle Skill: [That makes sense] could only be used once per day.

After using the ability, the t.i.tle naturally became unusable.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression turned frigid, then continued: “I am the War Shaman, the wielder of the [Ethereal] inheritance; in the future Samsara Clash For Supremacy, there would also be a place for me”

“And now, I give you one last chance to pledge your allegiance and work under me”

Gu Qing Shan casually said: “Once you’ve given up this chance, I shall no longer accept any of you”

“Your fate is in your very hands”

After saying so, he took a few steps back to determine a clear distance between them.

“If you want to pledge your allegiance to me, come to this side”

“I shall give you until the count of one”

“Ten”

“Nine”

“Eight”

…

Shan Hai Qi Xia immediately came over.

After that, among the group of monsters, eight of them took Gu Qing Shan’s side.

Only six monsters remained, forming a small group away from them.

Ten vs six.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression showed no change, but his heart clearly felt more a.s.sured.

He wasn’t counting on all of the monsters being convinced by his words.

——as long as they split themselves up, his goal would have been reached.

“Shaman, you might be powerful, but we can’t trust you” one of the monsters said.

Gu Qing Shan looked at it and casually replied: “You’ve made an error in your calculations”

That monster couldn’t help but ask in return: “About what?”

“Fools, I’m not begging you to become my subordinates, I’m pitying your fates of certain death” Gu Qing Shan replied.

At the very next moment.

From the visible end of the Tomb River, a faint shadow appeared in front of everyone’s visions
