Chapter 524: The pioneer

Gu Qing Shan looked at Laura, then at the crystal ball in her hand.

“How impressive”

He muttered.

This 12 years old little girl actually sealed an entire world!

Princess Laura lightly stroked the crystal ball and chanted an incantation.

A soft string flew from the crystal ball and hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan caught it.

A few lines of glowing text showed up on the War G.o.d UI.

[Void string—— from Triste’s collection world]

[As you’ve already set your Super Dimensional world beacon, you are unable to use this world’s void string to connect with this world’s beacon]

[War G.o.d Skills: This void string does not contain any skills]

[Doomsday Chronicles: You already know this item’s corresponding historical event]

[Item description: This string connects to a Super Dimensional world containing the expectation of trillions of demons, the world is currently shrouded by a thin seal, forming a miraculous balance between it and the world. Do not arbitrarily disturb it or you risk destroying the balance]

Gu Qing Shan looked at Laura.

Sure enough, Laura’s expression also showed caution.

She solemnly told him: “It was only due to luck that I managed to seal this world, definitely do not touch this crystal ball. I will need to personally cast the spell when we go in as well, otherwise the seal might break and Triste will sense it”

“Got it”

Gu Qing Shan was also solemn.

In fact, he actually knew more about this than Laura does.

Trillions of demons are waiting for this world to show up, because it contains the [Demon King Order]

At the same time, Gu Qing Shan noticed that this was a Super Dimensional world.

If trillions of demons managed to get their hands on this Super Dimensional world’s void string…

It really makes one s.h.i.+ver in fear.

No matter where this world was, a storm of blood would be brewed!

And the fact that Laura managed to seal this world so well was fortune within fortune.

Triste is probably going insane right now.

Should I just throw this crystal ball somewhere?

Gu Qing Shan considered it briefly.

Then dismissed the thought.

No matter where he threw it, there will be no guarantee that someone will be able to win against the [Demon King Order], or the Light of Dawn Triste who will go after it——- as well as trillions of demons in the Fallen Zones.

Gu Qing Shan still didn’t give up and asked: “After saving my girlfriend, can we take this world with us to leave?”

“We cannot. Do you think the Iron Fist Club’s void string could actually pull an entire world with it? If that was the case, no one in the 900 million World Layers would need to fear the demons, they can just take their world with them and run” Laura helplessly told him.

“How much longer will your seal last?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

“We must find your girlfriend within one day”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the crystal ball to see that a pure-white snow storm had completely filled it, making him unable to see anything.

The snow storm was so great that even if there was any scenery to see, it would only flash by briefly before being obscured by the unrelenting snow.

“Then I’m going in. Wait outside, I’ll take both you and my girlfriend to leave as soon as I find her” Gu Qing Shan said.

He grabbed the Earth sword from the void of s.p.a.ce, fully prepared for battle.

“I have to go with you” the little girl said.

“Why?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

“Because I have a bad feeling staying here. Furthermore, to make sure that I survive, I need to help you survive before anything else”

“Do you plan to fight as well?”

“No, within a Bramble Bird’s collection world, other Bramble Birds cannot leak their presence, otherwise they will be found out immediately”

“Then just wait outside, you’re only 12 years old”

“What do you mean by that? You are also only 6 or 7 years older than I”

When age was mentioned, Laura immediately got annoyed.

The thing she hated the most was when someone said she wasn’t old enough!

Gu Qing Shan insisted: “I’m scared that you might——”

Laura cut him off: “Gu Qing Shan, the things I have seen and know about definitely eclipses yourself who came from a Scattered world, I will be able to help you with your lack of knowledge”

“But you are too young, I’m worried that——–”

“You could not even deal with your girlfriend and were trapped by her. Where do you find the leisure to be worrying about others?”

He couldn’t refute this at all.

Gu Qing Shan was speechless for a bit.

Then he realized something.

In the newspaper from the past life, Triste still managed to declare war in the end.

And the [Demon King Order] still began to spread.

Which means, the Bramble Bird princess would still be caught by Triste.

Gu Qing Shan stared at the fuming little princess.

That’s right.

She is the key to stopping Triste.

I can’t leave her here alone. If she was discovered, it would definitely not end well for her.

“Fine, then we’ll go in together. But we need to go now, there’s no more time to waste”

Gu Qing Shan put the Earth sword back into the void of s.p.a.ce.

While holding onto the void string with one hand, he offered his other hand to Laura.

“There, much more like a gentleman” Laura said.

She held Gu Qing Shan’s hand and began to chant.

A screen of light appeared.

They disappeared from the room.

After they left, the crystal ball hovered in mid air, then silently went back inside the 12-layer cake.

The two halves of the cake quickly melded back together as the icing perfectly fused again, leaving no trace.

A 12-layer cake decorated with strange and exotic fruits, exuding a faintly sweet fragrance, full of allure.

The high-cla.s.s guests who entered this green room later on would most likely restrain themselves like the Bramble Bird aristocrats.

They would silently adhere to etiquette, not touching this cake at all.

…

Cold.

Bone-chilling cold.

A few black dots were moving across the frozen wasteland.

Su Xue Er s.h.i.+vered slightly as she carefully avoided the larger groups of people and traversed alone.

At a certain point.

She sighed with annoyance, staring at the lines of text in front of her retina.

[Congratulations! One chosen by the G.o.ds to become the pioneer of a new age. This is a gift from the Bramble Bird, please confirm to register with the System]

Right after, a confirmation screen popped up.

[Confirm/Reject]

Su Xue Er selected to [Reject].

Another line of text showed up.

[Please state your reason for rejection]

“No reason”

[Rejecting the Kindling’s offer for no reason, your evaluation has been lowered by 1 grade]

Following that declaration, the glowing text and the pop up gradually faded.

After everything disappeared from her vision, Su Xue Er spoke with annoyance: “Can you not hide these messages?”

Ever since she entered this world, this message has repeatedly appeared several times.

As soon as Su Xue Er said that, another UI expanded in her retina, quickly answered with the following words:

[Apologies, they are messages from Worlds Apocalypse Online: Kindling, I am unable to hide them] the System answered her.

——-this was from Su Xue Er’s own System.

“This [Kindling], will it bother me again?” Su Xue Er asked.

[If you use 1 Soul Points, I will be able to directly hide its messages]

“Do it” Su Xue Er answered without hesitation.

[A smart choice. Like the System had warned you before, this is a demonized Order, definitely do not get infected with it]

“Even if it wasn’t demonized, I don’t need two Systems——- if it weren’t to meet up with Qing Shan, I wouldn’t even need a System at all”

Su Xue Er’s tone turned cold.

The System responded: [Please recognize the current situation rationally. Without my existence, Kindling is extremely likely to have fooled you and register itself on you]

“Fine, whatever you say”

Su Xue Er answered it indifferently.

As they spoke, a ‘thud’ came from not too far away.

Su Xue Er turned to look.

Another person had collapsed.

She almost couldn’t help herself from helping him, but as soon as she took one step forward, she already forced herself to stop.

A few figures jumped forward, killing the collapsed man in seconds.

A pinkish glow flew out from his body, absorbed by them.

“Ah, how warm” one of them commented.

“That’s right, we didn’t kill you, we only sent him back to Aboul ahead of time” another person smirked and said.

The others continued marching forward without changing their expressions.

There’s not much time, to get even better rewards, they needed to cross this frozen wasteland as fast as possible and arrive at the next site.

This man didn’t actually die anyways, at most his rewards will just be a bit worse because he left prematurely.

Everyone here didn’t have any mind to pay attention to that.

—–yes, according to the rules Triste announced, n.o.body would actually die here.

Mutual killing will only bring more rewards and benefits to the victor.

If someone looked like they actually died, that was simply a false death shown for the sake of realism.

The actual person would be warped back to Aboul.

Su Xue Er squinted her clear eyes, silently staring at the body.

This person once helped her out during one of the previous battles.

Although it was only some minor help that Su Xue Er did not actually need, she still remembered his good will.

Due to the intense snow storm, the corpse was already being buried beneath the snow.

——did he actually return to Aboul?

Su Xue Er still felt that something wasn’t quite right.

She purposely slowed down, waited for the others to take some distance before slowly returning to where the corpse fell.
