Chapter 1468: Her voice

Shroud yawned.

He opened his eyes and looked around.

The night was still profound.

Scarlet and Reneedol were sleeping.

Gu Qing Shan had already woken up, currently chewing on something.

“When did you wake up?” Shroud asked.

“Just now” Gu Qing Shan answered vaguely.

“What are you eating?” Shroud curiously asked.

His stomach gave off a lazy rumbling noise.

Gu Qing Shan spat the leaves in his mouth out and said: “I’m checking if these leaves can be eaten”

“So we’ve fallen so far that we’re resorting to eating leaves, huh?” Shroud sighed.

“No, these leaves have a very faint poisonous characteristic, we can’t eat them” Gu Qing Shan replied.

While they talked, Scarlet woke up, followed by Reneedol.

“What are you being noisy about?” Reneedol frowned.

“Rhode said that we have nothing left to eat” Shroud replied.

Reneedol said: “Then let’s get going and head to the nearest residential district, perhaps we might be able to find some sort of food”

Everyone stood up, put out the campfire, cleaned up their tracks, then prepared to head out.

“We can’t go yet” Gu Qing Shan suddenly said.

“Hm? Why not?” Reneedol asked.

“We have three hours left until the official [Siming] begins, we need to make our preparations now” Gu Qing Shan said.

Shroud followed up: “Rhode is right, the first time, [Siming] asked for two connections, the second time, [Siming] asked for three connections, no one could guarantee that [Siming] wouldn’t appear prematurely for the third time, or would there be any changes”

Scarlet was in a bit of despair and asked: “Can we still form new connections?”

The four young people fell into thought.

Siblings, friends, fellow disciples, master and disciple, lovers.

These are all the most common connections between people already, what else are there?

Gu Qing Shan said: “How about, each of you give me something and I won’t give you anything in return, this way, you’ll all become my creditors”

“That’s a good idea”

Shroud praised, then pulled out a candle from the Book of Prophesized Destinies and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.

“That looks really valuable” Gu Qing Shan commented.

Shroud explained: “It’s a Causality Law item so it’s extremely precious, everyone can only use it once in their entire lives——- after you lit the wick and make a wish——”

“And it will come true?” Gu Qing Shan followed up.

“No, your wish will fail” Shroud replied.

“What a powerful item”

Gu Qing Shan praised, then carefully put the candle away.

Reneedol said: “I don’t have as many treasures as Shroud”

She thought briefly, then handed a coin to Gu Qing Shan.

“This is a World Valley coin, this way you’ll owe me money” Reneedol said.

“Of course” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Scarlet gave Gu Qing Shan a comb.

Took the comb and didn’t give her anything in return.

And so, each of them had formed an additional layer of connection to Gu Qing Shan as creditor and the one in debt.

Suddenly, the sky was illuminated again.

Everyone looked up.

Just as before, the shroud of darkness slowly faded away while millions of stars manifested in the dark sky, giving off intense power.

The frigid and emotionless voice resounded again:

[Everyone]

[There are three hours until the game officially begins]

[But there had been an unexpected change]

[A detestable thing had descended within the range of our Siming game, which might cause harm to the game]

[In consideration of this, the game had prematurely begun!]

Prematurely begun!

Everyone’s expressions changed.

[Siming] had spouted nothing but lies, there were literally no additional rules, it had simply decided to begin the game prematurely!

The frigid voice continued:

[The first official game rules are as follow:]

[Firstly, non-humanoid entities that are above 10,000 years old must have exactly 10,000 connections]

[Those who do not fulfil this condition will be immediately ended]

While the group of young people were feeling anxious, they were stunned when they heard these conditions.

“Above 10,000 years old?” Shroud repeated.

“Non-humanoid entities?” Scarlet confusedly muttered.

Gu Qing Shan instantly understood after a few seconds of thinking.

This was clearly aimed at the Law Behemoths.

Perhaps the appearance of the Samsara had caused [Siming] to be cautious.

It no longer wanted to play.

It intends to immediately finish off all the Law Behemoths!

Gu Qing Shan felt shaken, unable to help himself looking around.

Only to see crimson columns of light descending from above to envelop an entire region.

Immediately, numerous sprites of light appeared from the ground and began heading towards the sky.

The Law Behemoths had all died.

All of these sprites of light were the Origin power of the Law Behemoth that was being absorbed by [Siming] after they died.

“It’s over, it’s an irresistible Apocalypse” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

An Unlivable Apocalypse.

It could easily take your life at any moment, but it would sometimes toy with living beings for a little bit, other times it would quickly erase everything.

But ultimately, the result would still be complete erasure.

——this was the true meaning of ‘Unlivable’.

“It is shameless, we’re done for” Reneedol also sighed, her gaze becoming hesitant.

Indeed, I currently hold the Three Great Laws of Reality in my hands, allowing me to reset everything after I die.

But even if we reset everything, the next Reneedol wouldn’t be able to defeat this Apocalypse.

We of the Pantheon took refuge within a small corner of the Dusty World in hope of avoiding such terrifying Apocalypses.

——–is there really any meaning to resetting again?

——and I don’t want to die either.

But there’s already no other choice.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared next to Gu Qing Shan.

The Overlord of Death!

Lines of burning text quickly appeared in front of him:

[All Laws will eventually grow dim and fade, only Radiance and Death remain as the beginning and end of all things, they will be eternally passed on]

[——-I shall remember your liquor]

The burning text quickly faded away.

A skull the size of his fist flew out of the black burning figure and landed in Gu Qing Shan’s hands.

Immediately after that, the Overlord of Death shattered into tiny sprites of light that flew into the air.

——-he was ended by [Siming].

Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth wide, but couldn’t say anything at all.

Within this level of Apocalypse, even the manifestations of the world spirit, advanced life forms created from world Origin power, couldn’t even retaliate.

Even they were like that.

Then what about the mortals?

The starlight in the sky was growing more blinding.

The emotionless voice resounded again, still the same frigid tone as usual:

[The first culling is complete]

[After this, mortals on the earth, your nightmare had only just begun]

[Scream, struggle, your connections are about to become the purgatory of your minds]

[Now, kill the most important person among those with a connection with you, then you will be allowed to——-]

The voice abruptly stopped.

At the very next moment, the voice exclaimed in both surprise and horror: [The Samsara? No, don’t even dream of it!]

The starlight in the sky abruptly became blindingly bright, as if they were fighting against something.

The voice madly howled: [Even if you carry the final Divine Sword of the Heaven realm, there is already no way to reverse all of this!]

[Beings of the Samsara, you cannot stop m———–]

Boom!!!

What responded to it was a deafening explosion that resounded across the entire world.

Heaven went dark.

The wind howled like the crying of vengeful spirits.

The earth trembled.

The wilderness was broken apart, instantly forming numerous bottomless cracks.

Scarlet was immediately struck unconscious.

Gu Qing Shan caught her.

Shroud and Reneedol were barely able to hold themselves together.

“Hurry, look!” Shroud shouted.

The three of them turned to the same place in the sky.

An unforgettable sight ensued.

A black sword as large as the sky itself shot through the clouds and lightly slashed against the stars in the sky.

Millions of stars were instantly snuffed out.

The emotionless frigid voice was also cut off.

The black sword had covered the sky itself, but quickly cracked after unleashing this single strike.

It shattered into countless pieces that faded away within the intense wind and soon disappeared without a trace.

A female voice resounded in the sky:

“Metal-Wood-Water-Fire-Earth, Wind-Lightning-Light-Dark-Sound, halt!”

Instantly, all living beings and all things were frozen in place, unable to move a single muscle.

Reneedol couldn’t move.

Shroud couldn’t move.

Scarlet couldn’t move at all either.

However—-

Gu Qing Shan was not frozen.

He looked at the sky, feeling inexplicable emotions in his heart as he trembled nonstop.

“Shifu…” Gu Qing Shan muttered with a hoarse voice.

At this time, the female voice in the sky did not sense anything at all and sighed: “For today’s plan, I have no choice but to use the aura of this Apocalypse to camouflage and prevent other Apocalypses from arriving, stalling enough time for the Samsara fragments to fly through”

“This must be kept an absolute secret, all living beings must not have a single bit of this memory or else insurmountable calamity would ensue. The Worlds’ Apocalypse would only manifest and end this world as well”

The female voice gradually grew weaker:

“I shall reincarnate in my death… but if there are future living beings of the Samsara who arrived at this moment… you would retain…”

The female voice faded.

Lines of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes:

[You are a human cultivator, the disciple of this Immortal Craft’s caster, the Devil King of Huang Quan, the Groom of Asura, the Ally and Contracted of the Beast King realm, and the Samsara Wicked Mask’s owner]

[You are a Samsara Warlord]

[You may retain this memory]
