Worlds’ Apocalypse Online Chapter 154

Chapter 154 - Re-trial

Edited by: VindiFan#1

Gu Qing Shan noticed the change in her mood, quickly changing the topic: “What have you been up to lately?”

“About to breakthrough”

“Ah, so you’re about to breakthrough. Hm, how nice” Gu Qing Shan said, then realized in surprise.

He looked at Ning Yue Xi as if there was something on her face.

“You ——-weren’t you at Rejuvenation realm complete circle?” He hesitantly asked.

“That’s right”

“Then ——-“

“Yep”

“But you’re only a bit over 20!”

“Hmph!”

Ning Yue Xi returned to normal, pridefully lifting her chin up again.

Gu Qing Shan felt a storm welling up from inside himself.

No wonder the first Destiny Quest that War God UI announced was to save Ning Yue Xi.

What did the Quest description say at the time?

Gu Qing Shan quickly turned on the completed Quest menu and looked at it again.

[Quest description: Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi were two people whose deaths were buried deep in the flow of history, if you can change their fate, you can change the entire flow of history itself]

After reading through the description again, Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Sure enough, Ning Yue Xi doesn’t betray the War God UI’s evaluation, she’s already inching into the realm of Ascended at such a young age.

In the history of humanity, geniuses are a dime a dozen, but people as brilliant as her can be counted with a single hand.

Such talents can only belong to the beloved child of destiny itself, once she escaped from the birdcage trial of life and death, she’s metamorphosing, turning into a true legend.

Could she possibly become the 4th Saint of humanity?

This world’s history is truly being changed.

Then…

Gu Qing Shan contemplated for a bit, then decided.

He tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a flower that emitted a light scent.

“It’s been a while since we last met, so this flower is a gift from me to you”

“What would a flower be good for? I don’t need such a thing” Saying so, Ning Yue Xi took the flower.

This is the highest quality Dragon’s Tear Flower, extremely good for nurturing one’s soul vessel, not to mention having an elegant smell that lasts for a very long time. Once put into water, even if it’s cut off, it would still live on for at least a few years.

“Giving you a flower would of course be to flatter you” Gu Qing Shan said very seriously.

“You’re a Saint’s disciple, and you still need to flatter me?” Ning Yue Xi lightly laughed.

Gu Qing Shan raised his eyebrows, saying: “What, you don’t like people to flatter you? Then how about you flatter me instead?”

Ning Yue Xi looked at him from top to bottom, just like how Gu Qing Shan looked at her before.

She laughed as he shook her head: “Tsk, tsk, tsk, Foundation Establishment…”

This series of “tsk” instantly removed any semblance of fighting spirit Gu Qing Shan had before.

Being able to get back at him once, Ning Yue Xi was in a really good mood.

“If you don’t need it then fine” Gu Qing Shan hand moved to take back the flower.

“Who said I didn’t need it?” Ning Yue Xi quickly dodged his hand and hid the flower behind her back.

“Fine, fine, whatever you say” Gu Qing Shan mumbled.

Ning Yue Xi then ignored him and enjoyed the Dragon’s Tear Flower, lightly smelled it and smiled triumphantly.

Carrying Gu Qing Shan on her airship, they landed right after leaving the countryside area a few minutes later.

Flying for a long time will surely draw the demon’s attention, so it’s better to just run on the ground.

After they left.

A mystical figure appeared in the air.

The figure was transparent and extremely flat at the same time, almost like a drawing of someone.

The alluring female figure flashed a captivating smile and beauty, before suddenly disappearing in the air.

『Military camp…』

A soft, light voice became almost unintelligible as the figure disappeared.

When Gu Qing Shan returned to the camp, it was already twilight.

Sending out a communication talisman, Leng Tian Xing also arrive shortly after.

Leng Tian Xing looked at Ning Yue Xi in surprised, then looked back and Gu Qing Shan and seemed to have realized something.

But Leng Tian Xing’s expression showed no change, only lightly greeting Ning Yue Xi.

———–Leng Tian Xing is a sly fox among men, but he understands boundaries.

“How’s the mission?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“It’s done, now we only need to turn it in, any later and we’ll receive a good shouting at” Leng Tian Xing answered.

The 3 of them returned to the camp together, heading for the General’s tent.

Bai Hua Palace.

A flame talisman flew in, caught by Bai Hua Fairy.

After scanning it with her inner sight, Bai Hua Fairy suddenly laughed.

“Interesting, how very interesting!”

Her expression was that of a girl that became curious and excited because she saw something new.

Xuanyuan Tianzun and the Great Monk of Sorrow stood up, solemnly stared at her.

“Fairy, the decisive battle is already tomorrow, just what could’ve made you become so relaxed?” Xuanyuan Tianzun’s tone became slightly strict.

He has never spoken to Xie Dao Ling like this ever before, truthfully, he was a bit angry.

Two of the strongest people in the world had to wait for an entire hour without an apparent reason, only to hear “how very interesting”.

Even the Great Monk of Sorrow couldn’t hold his calm expression anymore.

Looking at them Bai Hua Fairy understood.

“Fine then, since the decisive battle is tomorrow, I’ll share with you the information I just received” she smiled brightly and said.

“Then do tell” both the Saints said.

A while later.

All 3 Saints had different expressions on their faces.

The Great Monk of Sorrow clapped his hand and exclaimed: “Such fortune, such fortune, it’s very fortunate that we found out about this, otherwise it would have been very devastating”

Xuanyuan Tianzun asked: “Is this information accurate? We absolutely cannot make a mistake with this type of thing”

Bai Hua Fairy answered: “My disciple has never been a fraud, not to mention something that’s as important as this”

“Then we must leave right now, head to the frontline to exterminate the hidden threat” Xuanyuan Tianzun suggested.

“Wait a bit” Bai Hua Fairy smiled as she said, “Tianzun doesn’t need to be in such a rush. Regarding this, my disciple has given us a suggestion. I found it to be extremely fitting as a military tactic, I think we should try it”

Her expression showed a soft smile, her tone both calm and elegant, obviously she was in a very good mood.

“Military tactic… that is…” Xuanyuan Tianzun muttered.

The fact that he’s able to collect intelligence to this extent is a great thing, but how can something as important as military tactics be deciding on the spot like this?

But when he listened as Bai Hua fairy explains, Xuanyuan Tianzun’s mouth opened wide, almost unable to close.

About half an hour later, the 3 Saints finished their discussion and flew out from Bai Hua Palace.

The camp.

After Leng Tian Xing and Gu Qing Shan turned in their mission, Ding Yuan General Wu Xing Wen stopped and had them brought to his tent.

Wu Xing Wen lightly coughed, asking: “Gu Qing Shan, before you arrived at the camp, did you not execute a person called Li Chu Chen?”

———-aren’t you a bit annoying right now? Why are you still hung up about that? Gu Qing Shan glanced at him and replied: “You already know about it”

“Then why did you kill him?” Wu Xing Wen asked.

“He disobeyed orders and deserted his post” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Wu Xing Wen looked at him and burst out laughing.

Laughing very triumphantly.

“But that can’t be right, there’s some others that reported differently” saying so, he swung his hand.

A few people walked into the General’s tent.

They were people from Spirit Beast sect.

“Murderer!” Li Chu Chen’s little brother shouted.

Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes.

Spirit Beast sect’s elder stopped the angry disciples and bowed to greet Wu Xing Wen.

He said: “General, we’ve found evidence, we can prove that what Gu Qing Shan did was getting revenge, arbitrarily killing his comrades”

“Very well, bring out your evidence, this General guarantees you will receive your justice” Wu Xing Wen leaned on his chair and declared.

Spirit Beast sect’s elder put down five spirit beast bags on the ground one by one.

“These are Li Chu Chen’s remaining spirit beast bags, we received them from the deceased cultivators’ belonging tent” he said.

“I brought them there” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“That’s why karma is coming back for you” Li Chu Chen’s little brother gritted his teeth and said.

Spirit Beast sect’s elder glared angrily at Gu Qing Shan, and opened the 5 spirit beast bags.

5 different spirit beasts jumped out.

They started to tell a different story to the cultivators around.

From what they said, Gu Qing Shan had been out for Li Chu Chen from the very start, but since Li Chu Chen didn’t butter up and satisfy his demands, even ruining Gu Qing Shan’s matter, he thoroughly offended Gu Qing Shan.

At the end, Ding Yuan General Wu Xing Wen stopped their story, saying: “Because of that, you mean Gu Qing Shan was getting revenge on Li Chu Chen?”

The 5 spirit beast nodded.

Wu Xing Wen swung his hand and ordered: “Bring in Bai Hai Dong, bring in the 5 female cultivators”

When they arrived, Wu Xing Wen ordered to have them go through Heart Appraisal as well.

But the results were the exact same as what Gu Qing Shan got earlier.

Looking at them, then at the spirit beasts, Wu Xing Wen was a bit troubled.

Cultivators can be tested with Heart Appraisal.

But spirit beasts are different, their soul vessels are different, so Heart Appraisal doesn’t work on them.

At this moment, the leader of the spirit beasts, the blue-eyes white tiger spoke: “All of you are humans, what you saw and what we saw are different, we are able to notice how Li Chu Chen got treated with disdain and contempt, while you did not”

“That’s why your Heart Appraisals are like that, you simply don’t know just what kind of person Gu Qing Shan really is”

“But the results are the same, Gu Qing Shan wanted to get revenge on Li Chu Chen, when he found the chance to, he did, with the excuse of him not following orders” it concluded.

“Bullshit!”

“A bunch of lies!”

“That is completely not true”

Bai Hai Dong and the 5 female cultivators all loudly refuted.

It was now that Spirit Beast sect’s elder stepped out and suggested: “Then, how about we do a Soul Reading?”

Hearing that, the entire tent went silent.

Soul Reading is a very difficult spell to do, it inherently dangerous to do, and can easily harm the soul vessel of the one being read permanently.

“I agree! That way, the truth can be found immediately” Wu Xing Wen tapped his table in agreement.

A Bai Hua sect disciple receiving a Soul Reading, this has a very deep hidden meaning.

Even if Gu Qing Shan gets proven innocent later, the fact remains that he is someone who went under suspicion of harming a comrade, serious enough to have to go through Soul Reading.

Once you’ve received a Soul Reading once, you’ll then be forever marked as someone who’s been under suspicion.

No matter what, Gu Qing Shan’s reputation would be tarnished forever, everyone will look at him with eyes of suspicion.

From then on, Bai Hua sect disciples would never be able to be seen in the light of day again, nevermind regarded as highly as Blue Clouds Pass does.

Gu Qing Shan doesn’t even look at Spirit Beast sect’s elder, only stared directly at Wu Xing Wen: “Soul Reading? You sure wracked your brain for that one”

“I know Soul Reading, let me do it” Spirit Beast sect’s Elder pulled up his sleeves, looking ready.

But Ning Yue Xi stepped out and stopped him.

“Saintess, what do you mean by this? The General already agreed” Spirit Beast sect’s Elder didn’t expect to be stopped and asked.

“You can’t use Soul Reading” Ning Yue Xi replied: “You lot are holding onto him so much; don’t you think you’re being unreasonable?”

“Unreasonable? Spirit beasts don’t lie, he must have killed by brother for personal reasons!” the young cultivator couldn’t keep calm and shouted.

Note: The reasoning behind Soul Reading is dumb af. If anything, being Soul Read and turning out innocent means that he was being framed, why would there be a reason to be suspicious of him?
