Worlds’ Apocalypse Online
chapter-1641

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and carefully examined this Bygone Era sword technique.

This sword technique had far surpassed his imagination, which exerted one's swordsmanship to its very limit to create a distinct sword array.

…No, rather than a sword array, it's a Causality Law that can only be triggered through the use of a sword.

With his expertise in swordsmanship, he was able to discern the foundations of this Bygone Era sword technique very quickly.

But to actually perform it, he needed to try it out a few times.

Following his comprehension of the sword technique, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You've comprehended the use of Causeless Sword]

[Sword technique: Causeless]

[Passive ability]

[Causality Law sword technique, void swordsmanship]

[Description: During combat, each of your sword strikes would be able to search for your opponent's fatal weakness through Causality. Whenever you sense a fatal weakness from your opponent, a sword strike will manifest in the void of space, this strike would definitely strike the enemy's fatal weakness, either paralyzing or killing them]

[Attention: To activate Causeless Sword, you must perform at least one sword strike, and at most 1200 sword strikes]

While reading the description on the War God UI, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but rub his eyes together.

-------this is such an unprecedented sword technique that he couldn't help but feel like testing it out.

Unfortunately, this isn't a good venue for it.

He put that thought aside and turned to Laura.

Laura was talking to a Divine Artifact in her hand, occasionally laughing out loud.

Gu Qing Shan focused his ears to listen and found out that a fan depicting a female devil was telling her a dirty joke.

--------as long as these Divine Artifacts had a personality, they were all truly full of personalities.

Meanwhile, the Divine Artifacts whose spirit had already died or had yet to house a spirit would be relatively much weaker but were less trouble.

If this fan wanted to accompany Laura, wouldn't it teach her bad things?

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the fan briefly before telling her: "Don't listen to these guys too much, they've been through too many eras and seen too many people that they're all a bit naughty"

"The things she said are so interesting. Right, how many Divine Artifacts should we collect?" Laura asked.

"Four of them" Gu Qing Shan replied.

He glanced over them and noticed that Laura had collected three Divine Artifacts, which were respectively the [Blood Devouring Blade of Hundred Ghosts], the [Soul Searching and Life Pursuing Chain], and the [Imprisoning Soul Wraith Fan]

Gu Qing Shan told her: "I have a friend who prefers to only use one kind of weapon, can you try and collect a claw gauntlet-type Divine Artifact?"

"Claw gauntlet? Let me give it a try" Laura happily said.

She reached her small hands into the void of space and searched around inside.

"Hm… This one is too bent, probably not it…"

"This one… seems very powerful… but there are over 30 holes----- it's a really strange weapon, but not claw gauntlets"

"Ah, this one is hard… doesn't seem like claw gauntlets"

"…Found it!"

Laura suddenly grabbed and pulled it out from the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan examined it carefully and saw that it was a pair of gauntlets with four short and sharp protrusions.

"Look! I got a claw gauntlet-type Divine Artifact!" Laura happily told him.

After being speechless for a moment, Gu Qing Shan said: "This certainly looks like a claw gauntlet… but… this design is a bit…"

"This is really stylish y'know, not to mention it was a pair of extremely rare claw gauntlets that even has an Artifact Spirit------- if you hadn't said that your friend wanted it, I would have kept it for my personal collection" Laura told him.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the pair of claw gauntlets, then silently thought about how Demon Dragon would look using them to attack.

…Demon Dragon isn't going to kill me over this right?

Should I tell Laura to try again?

Gu Qing Shan looked back at Laura, only to see her exhausted appearance.

"Gu Qing Shan, I've never tried collecting four Divine Artifacts at once ever before, so I'm a bit hungry, give me some food please" Laura acted spoiled and asked him.

Gu Qing Shan immediately gave up on his previous thought.

These were four Divine Artifacts, not a bunch of radishes.

------Laura had already tried her best!

So what if they were just gauntlets with a tiny claw? They're still a Divine Artifact!

If Demon Dragon doesn't like them, he can just try and change the Divine Artifact and his corresponding Divine position later on.

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan persuaded himself.

"Here, I've prepared everything already. After you finish eating, we'll get going" Gu Qing Shan handed a large bag of snacks to Laura.

Laura happily began to dig in.

Meanwhile, Gu Qing Shan stowed the four Huang Quan Divine Artifacts away and fell into thought.

…

A minute later.

Four figures silently appeared at a secluded region of this Huang Quan world.

Fei Yue, Xiao Die, the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower, and Demon Dragon.

Gu Qing Shan nodded to the four of them and explained: "I've prepared all of your Divine Artifacts, they all have clean origins. You only need to connect your mind with the Divine Artifacts for you to become Deities of Huang Quan.

He pointed at the four boxes behind him.

The Divine Artifacts were all left in the boxes with their names written on it.

Gu Qing Shan explained: "Keep in mind, the Samsara Clash for Supremacy will begin very soon, I hope that you'll be able to prepare yourselves"

Xiao Die couldn't help but said: 『 But my son-----』

Gu Qing Shan replied: "Fei Yue's Fate ability can help you find him, and once you've become a Deity of Huang Quan, you'd be able to freely travel between the land of the dead and land of the living, there's be no issues with meeting time at any point"

Xiao Die was clearly delighted.

"Alright------ I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll be heading out first. See you all again later tonight"

After saying that, he and Laura vanished without a trace.

The group of four stood still and exchanged glances.

『 How come Gu Qing Shan is acting so mysterious… 』Xiao Die muttered to herself.

"Perhaps he really does have something urgent. Let's ignore him for now, we need to become Deities of Huang Quan right away, otherwise, people will notice what had happened here and come to us"

Fei Yue looked at the Thread of Fate on her wrist and softly told everyone.

Everyone nodded.

Xiao Die walked up and opened the box with her name.

A fan was sitting inside.

『 Right, it suits me very well 』Xiao Die was pleased as she took the fan.

Fei Yue opened her box and found that it contained a length of black chains.

"This would greatly improve the power of my Fate ability, Gu Qing Shan had truly put some thought into this" she also nodded and said.

The Master of the Ominous Demon Tower opened the box in front of him and grinned:

「 A very stylish blade------ I like it 」

He picked up the blade and casually swung it a few times.

A clear howling noise could be heard from the sword, which sounded a bit harrowing.

----as expected of a Divine Artifact.

Seeing them, Demon Dragon also opened his own box.

At the very next moment, he violently closed his box with a thud.

Xiao Die was happily playing with the fan in her hand and said: 『 Alright, if the four of us work together from now on, we'd very easily become the most powerful Deities in this world! 』

Fei Yue also nodded: "Indeed. With our coordination, we'd definitely be able to establish quite a force in this world"

The Master of the Ominous Demon Tower propped the blade on his shoulder and heartily declared: 「 Let's make it big and flashy! 」

The three of them turned to Demon Dragon.

Demon Dragon kept the lid of the box closed with his hand and told them in a low voice: "You can go by yourselves, I won't be joining you all"

Xiao Die scoffed and asked: 『 What? Are you looking down on us? 』

"That's not it, I've just gotten used to fighting alone" Demon Dragon turned his back on the other three, using his body to conceal the box and replied in a troubled voice.

"So you're not going to collaborate with us later on?" Fei Yue asked.

"That's not it either. Once I find that the opportunity is ripe, I'll naturally come to you" Demon Dragon replied.

「 Opportunity? What opportunity? 」the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower asked confusedly.

Demon Dragon didn't turn around at all and just replied in a low voice: "When I feel that it's appropriate"

Fei Yue, Xiao Die, and the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower exchanged glances.

『 This guy is very skilled 』Xiao Die sent her voice.

"He's also someone with a story" Fei Yue commented as well.

The Master of the Ominous Demon Tower observed Demon Dragon's lonely visage and sent his voice: 「-------He's the kind of person that works better as a lone wolf with his own rules and methods. It's best that we wait for him to contact us 」

『 "Hm" 』 the two girls agreed.

「 If that's the case, then we'll be going first 」the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower said.

"Go ahead, hurry up, you shouldn't stay here for too long" Demon Dragon's voice contained a hint of urging.

The three's figures shifted and disappeared where they stood.

Only Demon Dragon remained.

There was no one around him.

Demon Dragon took a deep breath and opened the box.

A pair of pink cat paw gauntlets silently sat inside the box.

The pink cat paws flew up and circled around Demon Dragon.

Meow~

The cat paws' artifact spirit gave off an intimate growl.

Demon Dragon's veins started bulging on his head, but still managed to maintain his calm and asked: "Are you urging me to put you on?"

Meow meow!

The cat paws' artifact spirit happily affirmed.

Some commotion could be heard from nearby.

A group of hell spawns were heading towards Demon Dragon's location.

「 Who's there? Get over here! 」one hell spawn loudly called out.

Demon Dragon's expression became tense.

I can't delay this, I need to hurry and become a Deity of Huang Quan, or I will be captured by the hell spawns!

Meow meow mew!

The cat paws' artifact spirit seemed to have also realized the unfavorable situation and urged him again.

It flew into Demon Dragon's hands and signaled him to wear it immediately.

------Having no other choice, Demon Dragon looked at the pink cat paws once again.

This is a Divine Artifact, there's no mistake.

It's also a claw gauntlet-type weapon, there's no mistake.

-----but its color is completely incompatible with my fighting style!

It's too cute!

Staring at the pink cat paws, Demon Dragon once again felt like his life was too difficult.

He couldn't help but grumble: "Gu Qing Shan…"
