Worlds’ Apocalypse Online Chapter 785

Chapter 787 - Splitting Up

Translator: La0o9  Editor: La0o9

The Desolate world.

On the vast field of pebbles, a chaotic tide that swept across the entire world was rampaging.

The mixed Elemental energy as well as other unrecognizable energies filled the void of space, manifesting as intense tornadoes that ravaged the earth.

The gigantic horde of Desolate monsters on the ground were clearly restless and uneasy.

——–however, this was due to the chaotic tides, it had nothing to do with what happened to Xie Gu Hong.

Seeing this, the cultivators calmed down.

The burly man and white-haired old man exchanged glances, both feeling a bit fortunate.

Because whatever the voice was, it was able to easily sense the four of them, a terrifying enemy to face.

They followed Xie Gu Hong and said ‘I accept’ towards the void of space, quickly obtaining the temporary concealment.

Xie Gu Hong’s voice came from the void of space: “Seems like I’ll be able to investigate the Desolate world’s deeper end now”

“I’ll go with you” the white-haired old man said.

“I as well” the burly man followed.

“Sect master Zhao, what about you?” Xie Gu Hong asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Fellow Dao seeker Xie, you can go ahead first, I want to know where the voice just now came from and what it was”

Xie Gu Hong’s voice replied: “That is fine, then we will go on our separate ways—— we will investigate the Desolate world while you search for the secret of that voice”

This was the most reasonable way, as Xie Gu Hong and the other two only had 1 hour of concealment, enough to investigate this world.

In their minds, that time wouldn’t be enough to understand what this voice meant or how to deal with it.

Since Zhao Wu Zong expressed interest in it, let’s leave it to him.

“Good, we’ll split up” Gu Qing Shan slowly nodded, then asked another question: “If this voice appears together with the chaotic tides, how long does it usually take for a chaotic tide to erupt?”

Xie Gu Hong told him: “From what we’ve seen, a chaotic tide would erupt once every 3 to 4 hours”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “In other words, your 1 hour of concealment wouldn’t be enough to last until the eruption of the next tide”

Xie Gu Hong nodded: “Indeed, there’s only 1 hour, we wouldn’t be able to obtain this great concealment ability again”

Since there wasn’t much time, he told Gu Qing Shan: “Sect master Zhao, take care of yourself, we need to go first”

Gu Qing Shan said: “Wait!”

He tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a formation plate and quickly arranged a warp formation.

He tossed three single-use warp talismans out for the three cultivators to catch.

“If there are any dangers, you can return straight to this place” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“Perfect, sect master Zhao is truly a considerate person” Xie Gu Hong praised.

“But why haven’t I ever heard that sect master Zhao was an expert in formation arts?” the white-haired old man doubtfully asked.

Gu Qing Shan casually answered: “Who doesn’t have a few tricks up their sleeves?”

The other three nodded slightly.

Indeed, which high-realm great cultivators don’t have a few means that others don’t know about?

Three voices came from the void of space: “Take care!”

Gu Qing Shan also clasped his fist and replied: “Take care!”

A hole opened above the cave, then quickly closed again after a few moments.

They left.

The only person left in the cave was Gu Qing Shan himself.

He quickly began contemplating.

——from what those three said earlier, that female voice would appear whenever a chaotic tide erupted.

This was a periodic event, but the female voice claimed that she was in a state of energy deficiency.

Then how did she keep showing up to check, ask their opinion and prepare Shadow Origin Power to conceal the three of them each time?

Does doing that not cost any energy?

There are many possible reasons for this, I can’t confirm any of them for now.

Gu Qing Shan continued to think.

Even now, the secret of this war System has far surpassed what Xie Gu Hong discovered in the Desolate world.

The chaotic tides…

Maybe the chaotic tides replenish just enough energy for humanity’s large-scale war System each time?

Energy of the chaotic tides comes from demon stones.

And the entire Desolate world is made from demon stones…

There aren’t any holes in this train of thought, but I need to further confirm it.

At this point, it started to become calmer outside.

Gu Qing Shan realized something.

———-this chaotic tide is about to end.

That’s not good, if the war System loses its power again, I won’t be able to conceal myself for the next 3 to 4 hours.

Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “I accept your proposed strategy”

As soon as he said so, grey circles manifested around him.

Very quickly, his body disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t waste any time and immediately asked: “How should I replenish energy for the war System?”

No response.

The female voice didn’t answer him.

After waiting for a bit more, Gu Qing Shan noticed that the outside had become calm again.

The chaotic tide is over.

Seems like that system went dormant again.

Fortunately, I’m concealed now——- or perhaps I used up the last of its energy.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and glanced at the War God UI.

A few lines of glowing text hovered on the War God UI.

[You have been reinforced by Shadow Origin Power]

[You have 2 hours of concealment]

[As the power source of this concealment was Origin-level energy, Desolate monsters won’t be able to perceive your actions]

Gu Qing Shan quickly read through them.

“What is Shadow Origin Power?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[Ting]!

A clear chime came from the System.

[Seeing how you currently are in a dirt-poor state, the System won’t take your Soul Points and answers as such:]

[Shadow Origin Power is power from the Origin of a Shadow-type world]

[P.S: As you have now begun to comprehend the categorization and structure of power, further explanations provided below:]

[At their essence, power can be divided into two categories, the first is Origin of worlds, the second is Soul Essence or Soul Points of living beings]

[The countless powers that all living beings of the infinite worlds possess all came from these two types of power]

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly: “Since Divinities imitate humans, they also use Soul Points?”

[Correct] the System responded.

“Then, which is more powerful?” Gu Qing Shan continued to ask.

[From an objective point of view, both types of powers have their own advantages, but from the War God System’s point of view, you will need to answer this question yourself——– just like the time you were in the Suspended world] the System answered.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

The Suspended world…

During the time of the world’s destruction, I competed to the death against a Rakshasa who had the [Mystery of All Things Equal] with my own [Mystery of All Beings Equal].

Gu Qing Shan then recalled the situation when he killed the God of Frost and Chill.

In theory, I wouldn’t have been able to win against him at all.

But because he was heavily wounded by the 7-colored spear and fully focused on inheriting the Divine King’s throne, he let his guard down for a brief moment and was killed by me who turned into the 6-legged Winged Snake.

Gu Qing Shan thought for a while and muttered: “The problem isn’t which power, but rather how and when to use it…”

The War God System remained silent and said nothing else.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to observe himself.

Indeed, even I can’t see myself right now, this is absolute concealment.

Let’s begin then.

He untied the frost Blade at his hip, wielded it, and closed his eyes.

His inner sight expanded outside, went through the mud and rocks before focusing on a demon stone on the surface.

Divine skill, [Shadow Shift]!

Gu Qing Shan disappeared from inside the cave and reappeared on the barren field full of pebbles and rocks.

He was still quite far away from the horde of monsters, and this was a relatively secluded location.

Gu Qing Shan took out an Inventory Bag and began to gather demons stones on the ground.

If the chaotic energy these things give off could power the war System, I need to bring quite a few of them with me.

He filled an Inventory Bag of 500 cubic meters.

Gu Qing Shan hesitated for a bit, then took out another Inventory Bag.

This was one of the Inventory Bags Zhao Wu Zong carried on himself, the most empty among them. There were just a few bottles of pills and spirit cooking inside.

Gu Qing Shan put all of them into his own Inventory Bag, then began to fill this one up with demon stones as well.

———there’s no harm in bringing a bit more, even if they’re useless, I can just throw them away without losing anything.

After this Inventory Bag was also full, Gu Qing Shan leapt to the sky.

The chaotic tide had just ended, so the various twisted and clashing types of energy had all been released and returned the void of space to a relatively peaceful state.

Gu Qing Shan hovered in the sky, determined where he needed to go, and started to fly towards the faint distant towering structure.

On the ground below, the horde of monsters took up every free spot in the wilderness, either sleeping or moving around, but none of them noticed him.

As Gu Qing Shan looked at these monsters, he suddenly realized something.

He glanced at the War God UI, selected the [War God Title] icon, and equipped the [Sword Demon] title.

He picked a particularly big Desolate monster and looked at it.

Countless sword images surged in a frenzy inside his eyes.

——-title skill, [True Soul Severing Eyes]!

For a brief moment, the monster vanished, then reappeared.

When it came back, the monster was already sliced in half, completely dead.

The monsters around it became rowdy.

But even after looking around, none of them found anything.

After a few moments, the monsters couldn’t resist the temptation of flesh and blood anymore as they began to rip and tear that dead monster’s body apart.

At the same time, a few lines of notification appeared.

[You killed a Desolate soldier]

[As you are disguised as the God of Frost and Chill, at the same time disguising as the Drifting Moon Immortal Sect’s master Zhao Wu Zong, your personal strength——]

Gu Qing Shan immediately cut the System off and spoke: “During that fight, I used nothing but my own strength, don’t you dare use that same excuse”

The text of the notification stopped.

A few moments later.

A new notification appeared.

[You killed a Desolate soldier]

[As you only used your own strength, the battle was judged as follow:]

[Soul Points +30,000]

Seeing this notification, Gu Qing Shan looked up and sighed, unable to hold back his smile.

But the notifications continued:

[As the System gave you a great amount of Soul Points in advance during the Divine race inheritance ceremony, the System will deduct an appropriate amount from this battle]

[Through calculations of all factors, the System had determined the number of Soul Points to deduct]

[System deduction complete]

[Remaining Soul Points: 3/600]
