———————–

Triste’s collection world.

The ice layer.

Gu Qing Shan sat down atop his cus.h.i.+on again.

In the end, the giant corpse told me to head to the Fallen Zones to quickly gain strength.

Unfortunately, I only heard the first part so I don’t know what he said at the end…

He looked at the War G.o.d UI and selected the [War G.o.d Quest] icon.

Immediately, several lines of text appeared on the UI.

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

[Current Quest: Heaven’s Punishment (incomplete)]

[Quest description: Worlds Apocalypse Online: Origin is undergoing its final transformation, it will soon evolve into its [Revolution] form, escape this world and take over 300 million World Layers]

[Quest objective: Eliminate it]

[Quest reward: A secret]

As Gu Qing Shan looked at the Quest, he carefully recalled everything that happened recently.

Originally, I named this Quest [Heaven’s Punishment] because I wanted to use the power of the Tribulation to eliminate all the demonized.

But now I know that simply killing all the demonized wasn’t enough to destroy [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Demon King Order].

Gu Qing Shan touched his Inventory Bag and scanned through it with his inner sight.

The silver box that the giant corpse gave him was silently sitting there.

Is there really a beacon inside this box?

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

He wasn’t the type that would easily trust others.

But the giant corpse has always helped him, and he was the key to helping the corpse escape from his imprisonment.

He would probably not try to hurt me.

If he was lying, why wouldn’t he have just pretended like he didn’t know, or not tell me the truth about [Order]?

Instead, not only did he tell me about this secret, he even warned me over and over not to divulge it to anyone.

From the start, I was only able to save s.h.i.+fu because he had guided me.

And he even taught me [Mystery of All Beings Equal].

After hesitating for a bit, Gu Qing Shan decided to trust him one more time.

“I’m really curious to know, what would the thing inside this box actually summon…”

Gu Qing Shan looked up at the sky to estimate the time.

It was currently nighttime and morning would soon come.

——it took an entire day for [Origin] to evolve into [Revolution].

There should still be about half a day left.

Now all he needed to do was just wait.

Tapping his Inventory Bag, Gu Qing Shan took out a Communication Talisman.

He spoke into the talisman and tied it to the Chao Yin sword.

“Go down through the ocean and bring this to Tidal city. It’s a message for Laura’s group so that they won’t be worried” Gu Qing Shan said.

The Chao Yin sword vibrated briefly before splitting the ocean and dived downwards.

Gu Qing Shan exited the [War G.o.d Quest] window on the War G.o.d UI.

He sat on the spot and thought about the monster he met back in the giant corpse’s world.

There were too many things to think about.

Even if he tried to make sense of it, there wasn’t much to go off at.

After a while, Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.

Oh yeah, I already killed that thing so I should at least see the changes in the Soul Points.

He looked at the War G.o.d UI again.

Where it normally displays his Soul Points now read: [0/600]

I didn’t get any Soul Points at all!

Gu Qing Shan raised his eyebrows and was about to question the System, but a line of text had already appeared below his Soul Points display.

[You killed an unknown existence]

[Considering the danger and unknown nature of it, to ensure nothing unexpected happens, the War G.o.d System didn’t attempt to absorb its Soul Points]

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought as he stared at these two lines.

The War G.o.d System was being this careful, almost as if it was treading on thin ice.

—–why?

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help himself asking: “System, what exactly was that thing I killed?”

[Ting]!

The War G.o.d System responded: [Unable to divulge corresponding information, please don’t attempt to ask about its ident.i.ty]

“Not even through silently talking in my mind like this?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

[Remember what that corpse said, before you become strong, don’t go looking into secrets that you don’t have control over] the War G.o.d UI replied.

“Fine” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

At this time, a new change appeared on the War G.o.d UI.

On the row at the bottom, various icons representing [War G.o.d Skill], [War G.o.d Thaumaturgy], [War G.o.d t.i.tle], [Doomsday Chronicles] and [War G.o.d Quest] had already been unlocked.

The icon for [War G.o.d Thaumaturgy] was flas.h.i.+ng.

Several lines of glowing text appeared from [War G.o.d Thaumaturgy]

[You’ve reached Projection realm]

[You’ve qualified to awaken a new Thaumaturgy]

[Because Destiny Quests have been removed, after this War G.o.d Quest is over, please issue a new War G.o.d Quest to collect the power necessary to awaken a new Thaumaturgy]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised and asked: “Because there’s no Destiny Quest, now I have to issue new [War G.o.d Quest] for this myself? Isn’t that a bit strange?”

The War G.o.d UI replied: [If you fail a Destiny Quest, there would always be a penalty, but a War G.o.d Quest that you issued wouldn’t contain any penalties in case of failure]

[Even more importantly, the System will fully support you with a different method of Soul Points usage for every War G.o.d Quest depending on the situation at the time]

[For example, during this War G.o.d Quest-chain, you’ve received the Iaido state as a way to use your Soul Points]

Gu Qing Shan nodded, [Iaido] was indeed quite a good way to use Soul Points, it had helped him quite a bit.

He asked: “Then will I get the [Iaido] state again during the next War G.o.d Quest?”

The War G.o.d UI replied: [Not necessarily, but you will definitely receive a method to use Soul Points in order to help with your battles]

Gu Qing Shan nodded in understanding: “If it’s as you said, the treatment for [War G.o.d Quest] and Destiny Quests are certainly like night and day”

He silently kept this in mind.

At this point, the Chao Yin sword flew out from the sea.

It circled around Gu Qing Shan, giving off faint ‘wu wu’ sounds.

“Good job” Gu Qing Shan praised.

The Chao Yin sword disappeared behind his back, but before it did, it couldn’t help but let out a few more sounds.

Gu Qing Shan seriously listened to it and replied: “Yes, I did repair you, but the Earth sword’s damage is too great, even its shaft is current at breaking point. I couldn’t risk trying anything at my level of Smithing”

Oong…

The Chao Yin sword called out in a tiny voice, seemingly sorrowful.

Gu Qing Shan also sighed from dejection.

The Earth sword was his very first partner, but now it has been forced to go dormant.

For a sword cultivator, this was extremely uncomfortable.

He could only console the Chao Yin sword: “Don’t worry, after we return to my sect, I’ll ask s.h.i.+fu, she definitely has a way for it to recover”

The Chao Yin sword nodded with its hilt and no longer made any sounds.

Gu Qing Shan now closed his eyes and solidified his realm, studying the changes in his body

There was still half a day left until [Origin] finished its evolution.

Gu Qing Shan intended to stay right here and wait until it woke up.

Time quickly pa.s.sed.

The night faded.

The day slowly came.

When it was almost noon, Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.

1 breath.

2 breaths.

3 breaths.

A cold but majestic voice echoed across the entire ice layer.

[Evolution complete]

[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution has officially launched]

[New functions unlocked]

[Existing functions improved]

[Searching for carriers]

[…]

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan’s lips curved into a smile.

He leapt upwards and took to the sky.

Through the wind and snow.

Through the thick layer of clouds.

Bright sunlight s.h.i.+ned from the blue sky above.

There was nothing here but light.

“A place with light…” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Standing above the clouds, he tapped his Inventory Bag and took out the silver box.

As soon as sunlight came into contact with the silver box, something miraculous happened.

The box melted away.

Instead, a mysterious rune that Gu Qing Shan didn’t recognize appeared out of nowhere.

This rune gave off an immeasurable holy light.

“Was this the beacon?” Gu Qing Shan wondered.

A second later, the rune suddenly shattered.

All the light that came with it also disappeared without a trace.

As if nothing happened at all just now.

“Is that it?”

While Gu Qing Shan was still confused, new information had already appeared on the War G.o.d UI.

A new notification popped up.

[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Deific, has descended]

At the same time, the cold and majestic voice of [Revolution] echoed across the entire world like thunder.

[Angel Order detected]

[A battle to the death is about to begin, all carriers prepare yourselves!]
