Chapter 1541: The other outcome of that battle

A pillar of light shot out from the cannon, then rapidly grew to be larger than the ship itself.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

What cannon shot? This is clearly a technique potent enough to destroy entire worlds.

However, he always had an easy solution to projectiles and non-melee attacks.

Instantly, Gu Qing Shan vanished from the sky and reappeared far above.

What switched places with him was the triangular metal ship.

——Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!

The pillar of light had just arrived.

Boom!

The triangular ship was struck by its own most powerful attack and was instantly turned into fireworks in the sky.

The shockwaves scatter in every direction.

The world also shook from it.

“Not leaving anyone alive?” Boss asked.

“I seemed to have entered some sort of mediation… if I survive, they have to die” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Boss thought briefly and delightedly commented: “I’ve seen Apocalypse civilizations killing one another in the past, I’ve always thought this was their nature, so it turns out to be some sort of mediation instead?”

Suddenly, a voice resounded, speaking Apocalypse common language:

[Single entity: Broken Bone Shadow]

[Attribute class: Assassin. Identity confirmed]

[You’ve survived this mediation]

[Please select between combat mode or return mode]

Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, Boss had cautiously told him: “Gu Qing Shan, quickly choose combat mode!”

Lines of notification also appeared on the War God UI:

[Attention, we’ve expended more or less all of our Soul Points in the Age of Immemorial, we’re currently in an extreme shortage of Soul Points, not enough to actually descend upon a true Apocalypse]

[You must immediately choose combat mode!]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised and wanted to ask the War God UI, only to see many black tubes appearing from the void of space around him.

An uncontrollable sense of fright and panic surfaced in Gu Qing Shan’s mind and instincts.

He regained his senses and quickly told the void of space: 「 I choose combat mode 」

Following this statement, the tubes in the void of space swiftly disappeared.

The voice continued: [All materials have been retrieved and exchanged into a weapon factor accumulation point, your weapon will be upgraded and improved once]

[In three minutes, you will receive a new mission pass]

[This mediation has been completed, farewell]

The voice disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan looked down.

The white bone machete in his hand began to give off a ‘zi zi’ noise, then abruptly straightened itself into a pale long blade of bones.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Your weapon has received reinforcement by Apocalypse factor (weapon type)]

[Your weapon has evolved into a new form]

[Weapon name: Grey Bone Blade]

[This weapon is imbued with the Apocalypse Curse: Marrow Sucking]

[Function: Absorb 15% of the enemy’s vitality all at once in order to heal your own wounds]

[Can only be used once per day]

[Ignores all defenses]

After reading this description, Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised.

Regardless of the other functions, the fact that it can ignore defense has significantly improved this bone blade’s capabilities.

—–unfortunately, it’s still a blade, and an Apocalypse weapon no less.

Gu Qing Shan suppressed his regret and asked: “Boss, why did you tell me to choose combat mode just now?”

Boss replied: “I know a bit of details regarding this, combat mode suggests that you’re currently in the middle of combat, so it’s inconvenient for you to return. If there were any rewards, it’ll directly be sent to you to improve your combat prowess”

“Then what about return mode?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“If you had chosen to return, we would have been transported to an inexplicable location, unable to return here even if you wanted to, which is extremely dangerous”

At this point, Boss’ tone became even more cautious: “I don’t actually know much, but it was still best to remain here”

Gu Qing Shan commented: “But just now, there were numerous tubes that appear around my body, which are the exact same as what was attached to you during the Age of Immemorial”

Boss sighed and replied: “Those were the tubes that came with the frozen corpse. I can borrow them to use, but I don’t know exactly what they were, nor where they were connected to; but I’ve always had a feeling—— as soon as I used those tubes to travel to the other end, some issue would immediately occur with the frozen corpse, which is why I’ve always been cautious about this”

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

Boss’ feeling was correct.

How could a place that even the War God UI doesn’t want to arbitrarily travel to be simple?

In that case, actually——–

“Boss, could the giant eyeball have lost control because you left?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Boss stayed silent briefly before answering: “At the time, when we headed to the past to fought the decisive battle against Soul Shrieker, Reneedol had taken advantage of that opportunity to thoroughly defeat the Eternal Abyss”

“As the seal, I was missing at the time, so the frozen corpse’s eyeball obtained the chance to give birth to its own consciousness”

“I remember you saying that you fought against your Fate of being the overseer of the seal, then what exactly was your relationship with the frozen corpse?”

Boss sighed again and finally answered him after a long time: “I had become one with the frozen corpse as the corpse’s new soul. The corpse was also my body, and I used it to rule the entire void up until the Reality Gate completely opened and the Apocalypses defeated me”

So that was it!

Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about it and felt heavy.

——-Reneedol had already taken all of this into account.

She took advantage of the moment when Boss wasn’t present and when the seal had lost its power to release one eyeball from the frozen corpse.

—–no wonder the Wraith realm wanted to ally themselves with the Era of [Chaos]!

The pitiful God of Life was erased by the giant eyeball on the spot, while Reneedol herself didn’t pay any considerable price at all.

Indeed, during the battle of [Chaos] and [Order], the final winner was all living beings in the void, but on another battlefield, Reneedol obtained what she wanted.

This was the other outcome of that battle.

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

In that case, Reneedol had actually taken advantage of when Boss was missing to dig away his eye!

It wasn’t until Boss came with me to the Age of Immemorial and witnessed everything occur that he finally understood what had happened between himself and Reneedol.

“Now I’ve finally understood. In the past while I gazed at her with nothing but love and affection, she had always wanted to kill me to steal the frozen corpse and the Divine Artifact of Fate” Boss said with a numbed tone.

“…You’ve really suffered a lot these past years” Gu Qing Shan sighed and said.

Suddenly, a Card appeared from the void of space, which Gu Qing Shan caught.

Bang!

The Card shattered.

An emotionless voice resounded:

[The mission to capture unique individuals is ongoing]

[The closest unique individual to your location is currently in the middle of combat, Southeast direction, 67 World Layers away]

[Immediately accept the mission to aid the capture of this individual]

[If capture is impossible, elimination is permitted]

The Card fragments turned into masses of light that enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

Instantly, he disappeared from that world.

…

An oceanic blue world.

The continuous sound of explosions resounded throughout the sky.

A flash of light.

Gu Qing Shan appeared and looked up.

Hundreds of Apocalypse monsters had surrounded a humanoid man, continuously attacking him.

The man’s body was soaked in blood, but he kept his rapier raised to persistently fight against the monsters.

Quite a few monsters had been pushed back or killed by him.

A large monster declared:

「 Surrender. If you continue to resist, true Apocalypse Assassins will arrive, they will directly take your life 」

The man spat up some blood and coldly grinned: “I’m not going to surrender even if I die. Your master won’t obtain any information from me”

An intense presence radiated from his body.

“Come, at worst, I’ll just give my life up and take you with me!”

Right as he was about to ensure mutual destruction——-

Suddenly, a voice resounded in his mind:

“Crow, surrender to me”

The man was surprised.

He then saw a black shadow rapidly approaching him with a bone blade in his hand.

“You——”

“It’s me”

The shadow went past the encirclement of monsters and raised its large bone blade, shouting: 「 Die, or surrender? 」

The man coldly scoffed, then tilted his head up: “Of course, I’ll surrender”
