Worlds’ Apocalypse Online
chapter-671

As the entire grand hall of the seven Gods crumbled and collapsed, turning everything into tiny grains of flowing sand, scattering into a faint and blurry mist.

The large amount of mist completely covered the entire center of the Strife Zones.

No one witnessed or noticed any of this.

Only Anna and Su Ke Er stood in the mist as they silently waited.

“What kind of predictions will it be?” Anna couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m also quite interested since normal people aren’t likely able to witness something like this” the girl called Su Ke Er also muttered.

They didn’t have to wait for long.

At first, there was nothing, but soon a portion of the mist slowly rose up and formed a humanoid figure.

——-this figure appeared at first glance seemed to be nothing but an empty husk, or an empty mold.

The empty husk then began to absorb all the grey mist and began to glow in a blinding light.

After which, a deep, husky voice came from the figure.

「 Our predicted prophecy has occurred, the destruction of all things outside of the Strife Zones have begun 」

「 By the powers of our believers alone, it is impossible to go against it 」

The humanoid figure of light opened its palm and aimed at the air.

“What is it doing? Wasn’t a prophecy supposed to come out?” Anna quickly asked.

Su Ke Er also quickly replied: “I have no idea either, perhaps the Gods are activating some sort of prearranged mechanism in response to the calamity?”

A few moments later, both of the two girls’ expressions changed in fear.

The humanoid figure of light had begun to speak once more.

「 This calamity must be dealt with, otherwise the last remaining 900 million World Layers cannot possibly stop it 」

「 Executing protocols, preparing to summon the seven Gods 」

On the palm of the figure of light, a more intense light shot out, piercing through the darkness of the void towards a place endlessly far away.

This light was so divine, holy, majestic and calm, that even Anna and Su Ke Er who were experienced individuals almost couldn’t help themselves bowing down in front of this light.

Anna held her breath and whispered: “You guessed correctly, the Gods really did prepare something”

Su Ke Er, on the other hand, was completely stunned: “But I didn’t know that the seven Gods would return!”

“Isn’t that a good thing? The Gods will be able to lead living beings on the right path and go against the calamity” Anna asked doubtfully.

“No, according to our records——” Su Ke Er instinctively replied, but then quickly noticed that she was saying too much.

So she stopped herself.

「 Re—— turn—– to—– us 」

The figure of light uttered a long sigh.

The blinding light pierced through the endless darkness, continuing for several dozen more seconds.

But besides the appearance of this glorious pillar of light, nothing else happened.

No God came.

After a while, the figure of light lowered its hand.

The piercing pillar of light also disappeared.

For some reason, the figure of light now appeared incredibly lonely.

It descended and lightly hovered in front of Anna and Su Ke Er.

It was observing them.

The two girls both bowed.

Su Ke Er performed the bow of the Church of Fate, while Anna followed the etiquettes of the Church of Death.

These were the bows meant to be used when a mortal faces a God.

The humanoid figure of light slightly nodded.

「 It has been too long, are the only ones left qualified to stand before me are the followers of Fate and Death? 」

It waved its hand, sending two clouds of grey fog towards Anna and Su Ke Er.

「 You have attempted to awaken the Gods, opening the curtains to the final era of mortals. For this, the seven Gods have left you a gift, a blessing for those who call out to the Gods 」the humanoid figure of light spoke.

The two clouds of fog then turned into two books.

One of the books was completely white, while the other was jet black.

The white book flew towards Su Ke Er and fell into her hands.

The black book went into Anna’s hands.

The figure of light spoke: 「 They are the Book of Fate and the Book of Death. Just like how you worship your Gods, I hope you will know to respect it, worship it, protect it, and learn from it the knowledge of the Gods 」

Su Ke Er pursed her lips right and bowed once again, not saying anything.

Anna couldn’t help but asked: “Where are the seven Gods? Why did they not appear?”

Su Ke Er pulled her back and whispered: “That is a manifestation of Laws, created by concentrating Divine power, it wouldn’t necessarily answer your question”

The humanoid figure of light was, sure enough, stunned for a moment.

And then, it started to speak in an unprecedented tone of grief: 「 The seven Gods did not respond to the call 」

「 It is clear, the seven Gods are dead 」

「 At this bleakest moment of the Gods’ glory, evil have begun its large-scaled attack 」

「 Now, I will open the final valve, the preparation for a vengeful battle left behind by the Gods in case of their deaths 」

As the humanoid figure of light said this, it once again took to the air.

It reached out towards the void.

Vast amounts of light came out from the humanoid figure.

In that brief moment, every world in the 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones was able to sense the Divinity it gave off.

A projection of the figure of light appeared in every world, in the sky above every living being.

Being able to appear in front of hundreds of billions of living beings all at once in all of the 200 million World Layers, this was without a doubt, the power of a God.

Not to mention the seven types of Godly powers that constantly fluctuate on the projection’s body.

Countless people in countless worlds knelt down and bowed.

The figure of light calmly looked towards the void of space, as if it was observing every living being in the 200 million World Layers.

It suddenly spoke: 「 Listen well, mortals of the worlds 」

「 The seven Gods are dead 」

「 The final era of mortals is approaching 」

「 From this moment onwards, the [Angel Order] and [Life Order] will both shatter! 」

…

Let’s rewind time a bit.

When Anna had just arrived at the hall of the seven Gods.

At the same time, in the Strife Zones.

The First Zone.

A perilous high cliff.

Gust after gust of bone-chilling cold wind blew towards the mountain, following the cliff up towards the gates of a fortress, then continued towards the horizon.

While donning his jet black armor and a golden mask, Gu Qing Shan stood on the wall of the fortress, staring down silently.

The Chao Yin sword and Six Paths Great Mountain sword were both quickly dashing through the horde of Black Demon Goats, occasionally performing powerful Secret Arts as they do so.

In just a few moments, the two swords have already passed through the entire horde of Black Demon Goats.

Taking the opportunity when the swords have yet to return, the biggest Black Demon Goat quickly climbs up the wall of the fortress.

Gu Qing Shan raised his bow, pulled and released.

Pah!

A single arrow shot out, pierced through the Black Demon Goat’s eye and deep into its brain.

Without being able to howl from the pain, the Black Demon Goat immediately lost its life.

——Archery, High Precision Shot!

This was one of the few noticeable Archery skills that Gu Qing Shan felt worthy to learn among those he saw from both Shen Wu world and the Suspended world, in which he now had first-rate mastery over.

Also taking that chance, a few more Black Demon Goats sped up and jumped high, wanting to attack the wall of the fortress.

Gu Qing Shan quickly shot his arrows.

Pah pah pah pah pah!

Consecutive Shots!

Piercing Shot!

Quick Shot!

Arrows rapidly flew, turned into blurred shadows and accurately pierced each Black Demon Goat so that they were forced back to the ground.

In the sky, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword turned into Shannu and took the Chao Yin sword in hand.

A split second later, Shannu disappeared without a trace.

She directly reappeared on the wall of the fortress, next to Gu Qing Shan.

Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]!

“Gongzi, we were a bit too excited just now so we weren’t able to turn back” Shannu spoke, embarrassed.

“It’s fine. The two of you haven’t gotten a chance to go all out in a while, so being excited is a good thing” Gu Qing Shan didn’t mind it much.

He put his bow away.

“We’re leaving” he said.

Shannu happily asked: “Really?”

“Hm, I can already feel an [Order] attaching itself to me” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

In his retina, a green UI that gave off an intense aura of vitality was slowly forming.

Lines of text appeared on the UI.

[Congratulations for catching this Order’s attention]

[This Order will now bring you across 3600 World Layers to where the Life Order originated]

[Are you willing to carry this Order and follow this Order where it directs you?]

The [Order] asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I am willing”

Following his answer, a green screen of light enveloped him and flashed.

Gu Qing Shan disappeared from the First Zone.

He was being transported through countless worlds within the space vortex by a green aura of light.

Compared to the Scattered worlds, there were a lot more strange and eerie creatures within the vortex of the Strife Zones.

All kinds of void monsters claimed random places as their own, settling themselves within the paths from one world to another.

Gu Qing Shan even saw with his own eyes, a monster several times bigger than the sail ships of the Spire Keeper Association, slowly flying through the vortex.

While flying, the monster reached out with its six arms, arbitrarily catching other monsters or flying tools that couldn’t get away in time and threw them straight into its mouth.

As Gu Qing Shan was traveling, he sensed the presence of the monster.

——-it seems to be several times stronger than myself.

Then he saw a high-tech spaceship that was quickly flying through the vortex suddenly got bitten by another monster and swallowed whole.

The monster appeared to be glad.

From its appearance, this monster looked like it was also made completely from metal, except it still slightly resembled a spider.

It was likely that its favorite food was technological creations like that spaceship.

As Gu Qing Shan watched this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

These void monsters consider living beings traveling through the space vortex as food, and the vortex itself as their hunting ground.

——-fortunately, I have the [Life Order] protecting me, otherwise a newcomer as myself would definitely not be able to travel through the various worlds of the Strife Zones unscathed.

At some point, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt his blood boiling.

This was a sense of urgency that unnaturally appeared.

The same feeling as one would have moments before their death.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but wipe his forehead.

——-to find that it was soaked in cold sweat.

Why is this happening?

I’m currently traveling to another world with the [Life Order]’s protection, so why did my spirit sense react?

Before he could think any further, a few red lines of text popped up in front of his eyes.

This was the War God UI’s emergency notification.

[Attention, the Life Order is currently crumbling]

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes wide.

Before he could ask anything else, a loud shattering noise came from around him.

Poof!

The green aura that covered him before suddenly disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan was now revealed in the space vortex.

The monsters immediately took notice of him.

“Oh no!”

Gu Qing Shan cursed under his breath.

He already understood what was happening.

The first adversity of his Tribulation realm had arrived.

When he was about to react, he noticed that none of the monsters tried to attack him.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

He then noticed that a humanoid figure of light had appeared in front of every monster.

Each of them were laying flat on the ground, trembling.

A figure of light had also appeared in front of him.

This figure of light exuded the unapproachable might of Divinity.

Following that, the figure of light began to speak.

「 Hear me, mortals of the worlds 」

「 The seven Gods are dead 」

「 The final era of mortals is approaching 」

「 From this moment onwards, the [Angel Order] and [Life Order] will both shatter! 」

「 The power that created the two [Orders] of Gods and their own powers have now came back to me 」

「 With this power, the seven ancient Gods have opened a new path for all of you to fight against evil 」

「 This is the seven Gods’ revenge, as well as your last chance 」

「 This is—- 」

「 The path to Godhood! 」
