As soon as [Revolution]’s announcement was finished, another voice echoed across the world.

Unlike the cold majesty of [Revolution], this voice was divine and full of empathy.

[Apocalyptic Order of Lies, the path which enslaves living beings, that which nurtures the Demon King, I will erase your existence from this world, to prove the protective will of the G.o.ds towards the worlds]

[Searching for a carrier, prepare to commence the Holy War]

[…]

This voice also went quiet.

Gu Qing Shan simply waited.

Now that every demonized being had been killed already, he was really curious as to what would happen next.

What would an [Order] do if there’s no one to carry it?

…

Wait a minute.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.

Aside from the isolated world below the ocean, protected by the barrier of the Old G.o.ds, there was still at least one person left between the ocean layer and the ice layer.

Which was Gu Qing Shan himself.

As soon as he realized this, the War G.o.d UI lit up.

Lines of glowing text appeared:

[Due to having no other carriers, the Demon King Order – Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution had forcefully attached itself to you]

[Due to having no other carriers, the Angel Order – Worlds Apocalypse Online: Deific had forcefully attached itself to you]

Following the War G.o.d UI’s message, two completely new UIs appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The familiar red UI—– from crimson red now changed to bright red, [Origin] after it had evolved, [Revolution].

A white UI glowing in divine light—— this was [Angel Order] – [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Deific]

Right now, in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes were 3 parallel UIs.

The light blue War G.o.d UI, the bright red [Revolution] UI, the holy white [Deific] UI.

One person, three UIs, this was a situation that hadn’t happened even once ever since the dawn of time.

And the one who planned for this to happen—— the 100,000-year-old giant corpse, didn’t actually know about Gu Qing Shan’s own War G.o.d UI.

Which means the situation has gone beyond what he originally predicted, it was now impossible to tell what would happen next.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the [Deific] UI, then at the [Revolution] UI.

“What now?”

He asked the War G.o.d UI in a low voice.

[Ting]!

A clear chime came from the War G.o.d UI.

[Because they are directly opposing Orders, according to my judgement, we won’t need to do anything at all, simply ignore them]

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

This was the same as what the giant corpse told him.

So he remained quiet.

One breath’s worth of time later.

The white and red UIs in front of his eyes both started to move.

The glow they gave off became even brighter.

The glowing lights clashed and weaved with each other, attempting to breakthrough and take over the other party.

As time pa.s.sed, their glow had separated from each other, but covered the opposing party instead of themselves.

Under mutual illumination, both UIs started to change.

At first, the glowing lights invaded the UI, then the UI began to shake intensely, as the function icons and displays on both UIs started to crumble.

All of a sudden, something unpredictable happened.

Several thousand kilometers away, at the top of the Old G.o.d’s ice peak, the golden runes appeared and expanded to cover every inch of the mountain range.

This was ancient G.o.d Script, the written language of the Old G.o.ds.

Converging at the peak, all the runes gave off a blinding golden light that gathered at a single spot.

The transparent blue icy peak was now turned into a majestic golden divine mountain.

Apparently what was happening on Gu Qing Shan’s body caused the divine mountain to react.

In a split second, the spot of light that the G.o.d Script gathered at the very peak shot out in a blinding golden beam that headed straight for Gu Qing Shan.

The golden beam enveloped Gu Qing Shan!

The entire world went dark.

Everything in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes disappeared.

He felt that the world was constantly spinning, while he was flying through the air at an unimaginable speed.

——-no, this wasn’t the air.

Rather, he was crossing through countless World Layers, headed to an unknown location.

Perhaps it was countless years later, or perhaps it was only the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan found himself already losing his sense of time and s.p.a.ce.

All of a sudden, he appeared somewhere completely blurred.

He saw a giant humanoid figure as tall as the tallest mountain he ever saw.

This figure was hidden in the darkness, so none of their features could be seen clearly, but due to the glow around them, Gu Qing Shan could determine that they were in fact, a humanoid.

Interweaving light and shadows, blurred background and scenery, a figure that couldn’t be made out no matter how much he tried, this caused Gu Qing Shan to be unable to determine what was what at all.

“War G.o.d System, what is this?” Gu Qing Shan silently asked in his mind.

The War G.o.d UI stayed silent without answering him.

Then, the mountain-like giant figure began to talk.

「 We have left, but considering a few unique circ.u.mstances that might happen, after creating the 900 million World Layers, we left this bit of projection here 」

Their voice was slow, but the information divulged was heavy.

Creating the worlds?

Only the Old G.o.ds can create a world.

Could it be, this was one of the Old G.o.ds?

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking about that, the other party had already continued.

「 After we left, greed will only grow, the 900 million World Layers will one day fall into endless calamities and tribulation 」

「 At the moment when the 900 million World Layers heads towards its end, you hold a weapon forged by us, in a world where we once resided, destroyed two opposing [Orders] by your own hands 」

「 You even hold a type of Authority 」

「 And so, meeting this projection of us is the blessing we grant you 」

「 Take this back with you, we hope you will do even more from now on 」

After saying so, the mountain-like giant figure disappeared from Gu Qing Shan’s sight.

As soon as the giant disappeared, the interweaving light and shadows became even more unreal.

As Gu Qing Shan finished hearing that, he suddenly felt a compulsory urge to sleep.

A long sleep that he wasn’t sure of how long it lasted.

He suddenly felt alarmed being in this state.

Gu Qing Shan abruptly looked up and turned completely awake.

He found that he was still standing above a vast sea of clouds.

Standing so high in the sky that snow couldn’t reach, a faint warmth had covered Gu Qing Shan’s body.

The world was empty, there was no other being here.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the light in the sky——- the direction of the sunlight had not changed.

Which meant that not much time had actually pa.s.sed.

Was that really an Old G.o.d?

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

Thinking of the final words they said, Gu Qing Shan instinctively raised his left hand without knowing why.

He stared at his palm.

After a few seconds, a thick book appeared out of nowhere, silently floating on his hand.

It was a black leather-bound book.

An invisible gust of wind drifted about the book, constantly blowing outwards.

Gu Qing Shan understood this feeling well—– this was Soul Points, also known as Divine Power.

At the same time, he noticed that the bright red and white UIs in his vision had both disappeared.

If what the Old G.o.ds’ figure said was true, then both [Revolution] and [Deific] had been destroyed.

The War G.o.d UI suddenly lit up.

Line after line of glowing text constantly showed up.

[Two types of Order had attached themselves to you and mutually destroyed each other]

[Your actions had triggered the Old G.o.d’s unique projection left behind for the 900 million World Layers]

[According to my a.n.a.lysis, it has been confirmed that the requirements to trigger the projection were extremely strict, the specifics are the following:]

[Condition 1: The 900 million World Layers is currently heading towards its end]

[Condition 2: You must currently be in a world where the Old G.o.ds once resided]

[Condition 3: You must have a weapon forged by the Old G.o.ds]

[Condition 4: Walk the path of the G.o.ds, going against the Orders that compete with each other to gather living beings]

[Condition 5: Destroy 2 types of Orders at the same time]

[Condition 6: You must hold any type of Authority]

[You’ve fulfilled the above 6 conditions]

[You’ve obtained the Old G.o.d’s Blessing]
