The space vortex.
An enormous tentacle suddenly appeared from the stifled darkness, attempting to grab a certain flickering sprite of light.
When the tentacle had blocked the sprite of light’s path and was about to reach for it, the sprite of light directly punched a hole through the tentacle.
The sprite of light swiftly continued on its way.
The enormous tentacle was burnt, withered away, and was soon turned to ashes.
From the deep darkness below, a certain monster uttered a pained roar that shook the void——- an intense void storm was created from this roar alone.
Despite suffering pain, the monster didn’t try to chase after that sprite of light.
——it had noticed that it was the power of the Abyss.
If it continued to try and mess with it, that power would rip it into shreds.
The monster turned away without hesitation and hurriedly fled in panic.
On the other side.
The small sprite of light was streaking across the void at an unbelievable speed, traversing vast distances in the blink of an eye, seemingly unfazed by what had just happened.
Gu Qing Shan was right inside the light.
He rubbed the spider ring in his hand and silently contemplated.
——-so Lin’s Abyssal form this time is a spider again?
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze focused on the darkness in front of him.
There were only two lines of text on the War God UI:
[This is a highly advanced Abyssal form. You must obtain the appropriate authority in order to comprehend the specifics of this Abyssal form]
[The owner of this Abyssal form is: Lin, a human martial artist]
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Can a single ring like this really turn Lin into an Abyssal monster?
Boss was the same, he seemed completely normal at a glance and even emanated a faint presence of a Demi, and yet he turned out to be the Abyssal King.
Then, what exactly is the Eternal Abyss?
Gu Qing Shan temporarily turned his thoughts away from this issue and contemplated a more pressing matter.
The parallel world Apocalypse is about to destroy the God of Death’s site of inheritance.
The Void Deity is also quickly approaching them.
And I need to deliver this ring to Lin’s hand before either of these events occur without wasting a single second.
Otherwise, I along with Anna and Lin would all end up dead.
Right now, my only hope is for Lin to obtain enough power from the ring to resolve this desperate situation.
What an unpleasant feeling.
Gu Qing Shan laughed at himself, then held tightly onto the ring.
He continued to fly forward.
All of a sudden, a strange sensation appeared in his heart before quickly vanishing.
As if something had just glanced at him.
Strange…
Not even the monster’s probing gave me such a strange sensation, so what’s actually watching me?
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully thought.
And then, that sensation appeared again.
A foreign yet familiar sensation appeared, faintly triggering his reflexes.
Inner sight.
Right, this is the sensation of being scanned by inner sight.
Gu Qing Shan became cautious.
How could there be a cultivator in a place like this?
Are they friend or foe?
Gu Qing Shan quickly released his inner sight to observe his surroundings.
A familiar voice abruptly appeared in his Thought Sea:
“I can only contact you in this range”
“Please immediately respond to the summoning”
“I repeat, please immediately respond to the summoning, otherwise it’ll all be too late!”
Gu Qing Shan felt shocked.
This voice is——–
Without time to think about it, he sensed himself being summoned.
This was a kind of summon that surpassed all else, one that was being conducted by the essential Laws of every world.
This was the summoning from a cultivator’s breakthrough!
“Wind Tribulation… no, if it was that voice, it should be Water Tribulation”
“Very well——- I’ve always been a person of moderation, so if they’re summoning me at this crucial point in time, there must be something of considerable importance”
With that thought in mind, Gu Qing Shan responded to the summoning.
After a brief moment, time seemed to have paused infinitely.
Gu Qing Shan vanished from inside the light.
…
Faint lights.
Gu Qing Shan found himself flying through countless faint lights.
Time gradually resumed.
Intense light erupted and filled his vision.
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing on top of a borderless surface of the water.
The water surface was as polished as a mirror, reflecting Gu Qing Shan’s visage as well as the endless silver sky above.
The world was silent, there seemed no life, no movement.
Except for a single person who stood in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Himself.
Indeed, this was a Water Tribulation.
——–while facing the Water Tribulation, one must compete and win against themselves from a parallel world in order to pass this Tribulation.
Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight passed through the other party and commented: “It seems you’re about to break through to Void Revolution realm, but I really can’t imagine how you managed to lock onto my reality and found me specifically”
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ smiled and explained: [Actually, someone entrusted me to do this]
“Entrusted by someone?” Gu Qing Shan was doubtful.
[Right, the one who entrusted me was actually us as well, but a relatively younger ‘us’] the other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ said.
Gu Qing Shan scowled: “Please explain that carefully. You should know, I’m currently facing an extremely tough situation in my own reality, so I definitely must know why you and him summoned me here”
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ replied: [When you faced your Tribulation, I participated in your Water Tribulation and received your mega-sized jade tag. That’s how I was able to reach Void Revolution realm so quickly]
Gu Qing Shan paused.
“Which one of you was it?” he asked.
[I’m the one who had Worlds Apocalypse Online: Single-player mode] the other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Indeed, I did run into this parallel world version of ‘me’ within my Water Tribulation.
[The one who asked me to do this had also met you before. It was ‘us’ in our younger years. He also met you within your Water Tribulation and received a mega-sized jade tag]
[But he’s still too young and hasn’t achieved Void Revolution realm yet, so he’s unable to summon you]
[That’s why he asked me to summon you instead]
Gu Qing Shan quickly reminiscenced and recalled this.
I did meet a younger ‘me’ during my Water Tribulation.
That young ‘Gu Qing Shan’ didn’t even have a single sword style scripture to his name.
—–which was familiar to how I was in my past life.
I also had him memorize all the scriptures within a mega-sized jade tag.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then asked in surprise: “Could it be, he’s able to cross parallel worlds now?”
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ replied: [No, he can’t. However, perhaps due to receiving your mega-sized jade tag, or because of some other unknown reasons, he has awoken a very unique Thaumaturgy]
“What kind of Thaumaturgy?”
[Talking to oneself]
“How is that a Thaumaturgy… wait, do you mean…?”
[Exactly, by paying a certain price, he’s able to use inner sight to find ‘himself’ in parallel worlds and communicate with his parallel world selves—— although not for very long]
“So you’ve remained in constant contact?”
[That’s right. Due to a restriction from his own reality, he’s not able to inform you anything, so he told me a lot of things]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
“He can’t tell me, but he can tell you?” he asked.
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ nodded and asked in return: [Can you guess why this is?]
Gu Qing Shan’s thought moved around a bit and muttered in realization: “His reality had sealed off all information, forbidding anyone from that reality to divulge any information to people of my reality—— in other words, his reality is the parallel world that has fallen into the Eternal Abyss of my reality!”
[Exactly correct, as expected of myself] the other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ praised.
He continued: [He used a completely unimaginable method to help me lock onto you, and had me give you a bit of information]
Gu Qing Shan slowly nodded.
——–he couldn’t tell me due to restrictions.
But he’s not restricted when communicating with other parallel worlds.
That’s why the young ‘Gu Qing Shan’ had the [Single-player Mode] ‘Gu Qing Shan’ relay the information.
This is truly unimaginable.
I couldn’t even imagine that the parallel world that fell into the Eternal Abyss was actually the parallel world of my younger self.
“Then, what exactly is that information?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ put one hand up and said: [In 5 breaths’ worth of time, you’ll be transported to the God of Death’s site of inheritance]
[As soon as you arrive, you will face an advanced Causality weapon that was specifically arranged for you]
[You have to quickly come up with something, otherwise, you will be killed immediately!]
Gu Qing Shan was completely shocked as countless thoughts appeared in his mind.
If this information is correct, as soon as I arrive at the God of Death’s site of inheritance, I’ll have to face an advanced Causality weapon.
Causality is a high-class Mystic-type power, and using that against me is like using a particle beam cannon to blast an ant.
No wonder the young Gu Qing Shan is in so much hurry to inform me.
However, Causality has a restriction——-
Regardless of what kind of Causality it is, both the Cause and Effect still need to obey the Laws of Reality.
During a Causality attack, if two Laws of the same level contradict one another, the Causality would be broken.
For example, the Causality lifeform Star Firefly can choose another lifeform to lose their life as it dies.
But if the target it selected was a wandering soul, the Causality would be broken.
Because a wandering soul isn’t a lifeform, it’s a soul that is currently in a dead state.
Since this doesn’t fulfill the Cause necessary for the Star Firefly’s Causality, the Effect of killing the wandering soul wouldn’t occur.
Then, how should I face this attack?
While pondering this, Gu Qing Shan asked: “The people who attacked don’t know who I am?”
[No, they only know that you are the reinforcement that is being sent by the Abyss, but not who you actually are]
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ continued: [The young ‘us’ will also participate in the deployment of the Causality weapon at the God of Death’s site of inheritance——- but remember, he can’t tell you anything, and you need to make sure that you aren’t exposed]
Gu Qing Shan nodded: “Thank you for relaying this information, I understand now”
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ smiled and asked: [Did you come up with something?]
“Yes”
[Alright, give me a test]
“Receive one strike from me”
Gu Qing Shan wielded his sword and slowly swung towards the other party.
“Well done, I believe that you’ve passed my test” he declared.
The Law of Reality was triggered.
Since he had admitted that the other party passed the test, his job was over and he could soon return.
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ nodded and said: [Do your best, survive]
Gu Qing Shan also replied: “Hm, you also need to grow stronger, the spread of the Apocalypse is unstoppable—– perhaps one day, we’ll be fighting alongside one another”
The two of them exchanged glances and nodded.
Gu Qing Shan vanished from the Water Tribulation.
After a brief moment, he had returned to the space vortex.
———seemingly no time had passed at all, he was still inside the light, rapidly heading towards the God of Death’s site of inheritance.
Five breaths’ worth of time left!
What’s waiting for me ahead is a Causality weapon!
Gu Qing Shan didn’t waste any time to draw the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and communicated with Shannu.
Three breaths’ worth of time left!
A gate of light appeared in the void in front of him.
Shannu used [Mystery of All Beings Equal] to take on Gu Qing Shan’s appearance.
Gu Qing Shan’s body shook a bit and turned into a small worm that rested on Shannu’s shoulder.
The final breath!
Shannu wielded the Chao Yin sword and charged into the gate of light!
…
The God of Death’s site of inheritance.
A screen of light appeared at the bottom of the mountain.
Gu Qing Shan appeared in this world.
At the same time, a voice ordered: “Activate!”
