Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1665

Four Huang Quan Deities laid sprawled on the ground moaning in pain.

Demon Dragon coldly stared down at them.

“Should I throw all of you into Huang Quan to reincarnate, or should I kill all of you right here? That’s the question”

He slowly said.

A pinkish sharp glow suddenly began to extend from the cat paws, glittering in a cute and translucent glow.

“——Stop! Don’t kill them!”

A graceful voice called out from afar.

Demon Dragon followed the voice.

A girl was hurriedly flying towards him.

The girl was dressed in a traditional white outfit, her features were graceful, both of her hands were covered in several layers of illusory feathers.

She landed in front of Demon Dragon in a hurry.

“I’m sorry! Truly sorry!”

The girl quickly explained: “They had discovered that the Divine Artifact you were wielding had emerged——- but I didn’t think that they would come here to threaten you just to flatter me”

She took two steps back and respectfully bowed, then said: “I truly am sorry, but please do not kill them. If you had been damaged in any way, I can reimburse you”

Seeing that her attitude was both sincere and earnest, Demon Dragon asked: “You are—–”

“I am the Reincarnation Bao Lord [1]of Reincarnation Hall, Liu Ye” the girl introduced herself.

Demon Dragon thought briefly, then answered: “Only just once. If they come to offend me again next time, don’t blame me for being crass”

“Thank you, your grace” the girl bowed again.

Demon Dragon turned around and prepared to head back into his house.

“Wait!” the girl called out.

“Is there something else?” Demon Dragon replied without turning around.

“As your grace is a new Deity of Huang Quan, there should be a lot regarding our cultivation that you are not used to, nor should you be too familiar with the various knowledge of Huang Quan. I can personally teach you” the girl offered.

“I like to explore by myself” Demon Dragon replied.

Seeing how he wanted to leave, the girl hurriedly called out again: “But I really like this pair of cat paws in your grace’s hands, I would like to ask for a fair transaction and exchange another Divine Artifact for it”

Demon Dragon stopped.

“Changing Divine Artifacts is the same as changing your deific authority, don’t you know that?” he asked.

“I know, but I really like that pair of cat paws” she insisted.

Demon Dragon pondered briefly before turning around to look at her: “Your deific authority——”

The girl tapped the void of space three consecutive times and released three Divine Artifacts.

A thin, glowing yellow book;

A pair of ferociously dark and sharp devil claws;

And a battle axe with a long bone handle.

“They respectively represent the authorities of Reincarnation Hall’s Reincarnation Bao Lord, Gloom Shadow Night King, and Hell Bone Demon. I’m willing to exchange your cat paws with one of them” the girl explained.

Demon Dragon’s eyes were instantly drawn by the pair of devil claws.

Yes.

——this is exactly the appearance of this type of weapon!

The dark devil claws seemed to be drawn to Demon Dragon as well and gave off a continuous loud shriek.

Observing this, the girl said with a complicated expression: “Just look! It likes you! You surely like this pair of Gloom Shadow Night Devil Claws as well… it truly is predestined by the heavens…”

Right at this moment, the pink cat paws Demon Dragon was wearing seemed to have realized his thoughts and began to sob, seemingly unwilling to leave him.

The girl came closer and gently stroke the pink cat paws: “I know that you were lost outside for such a long time that you aren’t willing to leave him—— but it is ok, the Gloom Shadow Night Devil Claws was actually part of a couple with you, the two of you would not be separated”

The pink cat paws’ sobbing stopped.

It flew out from Demon Dragon’s hands and continuously circled around the dark devil claws.

A few moments later, the dark devil claws seemed to have been drawn to it as well.

The two pairs of claw gauntlets started chasing and playing with one another, flying around in the air.

“What’s going on here?” Demon Dragon asked.

The girl’s expression became a bit flushed before answering in a whisper:

“They were originally spouses, and the Deities who wield them must also be spouses in order to fully exert their powers”

Demon Dragon was stunned.

——and I was wondering why the cat paws always felt slightly awkward to use somehow!

—-but could such a setting be possible?

The girl silently tilted her eyes to look at him, then said: “However, exchanging deific authorities is a very severe matter, and it requires my mother’s permission. You will need to come with me to see my mother”

“Your mother? Why would we have to meet your mother?” Demon Dragon instinctively sensed a certain kind of approaching danger.

“My mother is the Hall Master of the Reincarnation Hall” the girl answered.

“Wait a moment—–” Demon Dragon said.

“Why wait? These are the only two claw-type Divine Artifacts within the Huang Quan realm, we should quickly settle this matter in stone”

“But then——” Demon Dragon solemnly tried to refute.

The girl had caught his hand.

The two girls of claw gauntlets immediately returned and hovered in front of each of them.

Observing the dark devil claws hovering in front of him, Demon Dragon was a bit speechless.

—-this is truly a weapon that’s suitable for me!

—–but why does it have such an unusual prerequisite to use?

The girl continued: “I’ve already observed the scene of your death, I really must say, you’re worthy of this young lady’s respect——- how about this, I will stay by yourself whenever you cultivate from now on, you can ask me anything you don’t understand”

“But I’ve always been by myself!” Demon Dragon finally managed to utter a complete sentence full of frustration.

The girl looked closely at him: “If you had been playing around with other women before, do you really believe I’d be so reasonable?”

“From now on, as long as you remain in the Huang Quan realm, just use my name and no one would dare offend you”

“If your behaviors are decent, this young lady doesn’t mind becoming your spouse”

“After all, you don’t have it in you to actually bully me”

Demon Dragon was led by this girl to another path on the mountain.

Fortunately, he still managed to remain calm and think about the current circumstances thanks to his vast experience up to now.

What exactly is happening?

Why did the situation suddenly come to this?

I’m alone all by myself, so what exactly does she want from me?

He turned to look at the devil claws.

It’s fine.

I’ll just deal with any issues as they come.

This Demon Dragon had never feared anyone before!

With that in mind, Demon Dragon thoroughly calmed back down.

The two figures disappeared into the depths of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.

…

While examining the fluorescent invitation in his hand, Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows suddenly became relaxed.

“What’s the matter?” Laura asked.

“It’s nothing. I just felt with my spirit sense that a huge issue I had left in the past just resolved itself” Gu Qing Shan smiled and answered.

Laura was clearly excited and asked: “Are we going to head into the Utopia and take a look?”

“Of course we will, but we need to be careful. After all, you can’t forget the ‘of Sins’ portion of the Utopia’s name, we need to stay cautious” Gu Qing Shan told her.

After saying that, he and Laura both disappeared from the camp.

A second later.

They reappeared at another location in the wasteland.

“Why did we have to leave Ironman’s camp?” Laura curiously asked.

“Because I need to discern the situation ahead of time, and I don’t want them to see my ability”

While answering her, Gu Qing Shan pulled out a colorful rooster statue from his chest.

He pulled on the rooster’s comb.

The colorful rooster then came to life.

“Ba-gawk, old Gu, so you finally remember me” the colorful rooster smiled flatteringly.

“That’s right, I have something that I want to ask” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The colorful rooster put up its wings into a heart shape again: “Same rules as before, you understand”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “But I only have Realm Points now”

“No problem, I’ll accept Realm Points as well, in fact, it’s even more valuable compared to Soul Points!” the colorful rooster called out.

“How much?”

“I won’t ask for too much, 1 Realm Point will be enough”

Gu Qing Shan narrowed his eyes.

1 Realm Point is equivalent to 1 million Soul Points.

—–I was wondering why this chicken acted so cheerful today, so it was just waiting to get my Realm Points.

However, this rooster was actually the embodiment of [War God Information], it knows many mysteries, and I really do need to rely on it to collect information a lot

Gu Qing Shan swiftly made the payment.

Receiving Gu Qing Shan’s Realm Point, the rooster heaved a heavy sigh.

Wiping the sweat on top of its comb, the rooster muttered in a low voice: “Finally got some money to pay them back, on the last day no less…”

“Is there any information related to the Utopia of Sins?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Ah, let me take a look”

The rooster narrowed its eyes and looked towards the city in the sky.

“A Dusty World qualification competition is being conducted there. It was because you got acquainted with one of the participants in time that the spirit responsible for overseeing this event noticed you and gave you an invitation”

“Yes” Gu Qing Shan confirmed.

The rooster continued with a stern expression: “Listen, the Utopia is a venue of entertainment for sinful spirits. You can only arrive in front of these spirits if you have the affinity corresponding to them”

“What is affinity?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“It is the spiritual quality and talents that you were born with, combined with your achievements in life so far” the rooster answered.

Gu Qing Shan hesitantly said: “If none of the spirits has an affinity with me——-”

The rooster replied: “Then you won’t see anything at all within the Utopia, only a desolate empty city”

It cleared its throat, then silently explained: “I’ve taken a peek into the Utopia and found two locations that are suitable with your affinity. One of them was glowing in black, while the other was glowing in a bright pinkish red”

“The black light is the bar where the most ferocious spirits gather. With the number of lives you’ve taken, they will most likely compete among one another to become your exclusive spirit”

“Because they take joy in killing”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan scowled.

“Don’t like that?” the rooster asked.

“Of course, I don’t like it. I don’t kill people for fun” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Alright, then you’d better head towards the bright pinkish red glow” the rooster continued: “By the way, a little reminder that your little friend here absolutely cannot reveal herself—— if she showed up, the entire Utopia of Sins would go crazy——- after all, the root of sin is wealth, and she holds the authority over all wealth—— if something happened that throws the entire Utopia into chaos, a great danger would befall you, got it?”

“Got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The rooster nodded, then turned back into a statue.

Gu Qing Shan turned to Gu Qing Shan.

Laura sighed regretfully as she looked at the Utopia.

“Want to go?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“…It’s ok” Laura replied.

“It only said that you can’t reveal yourself—— so it’ll be fine as long as you come with me and don’t stay for too long. In that short amount of time, you can use [Infinite Worlds Shelter]!” Gu Qing Shan smiled and told her.

“Wah! That’s great!” Laura cheered.

A few moments later.

Laura opened her umbrella and sat on Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

Gu Qing Shan then used his finger to tap the invitation.

The glow of the invitation immediately surged forward to envelop him and Laura, taking both of them into the city in the sky.

Their landing was very gentle.

Gu Qing Shan saw two bursts of light almost immediately.

A black mass of light had enveloped a certain building that was a few hundred meters away from him.

Various howls and malicious laughter could occasionally be heard from that building, as well as some desperate screams and begging to be left alive.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and turned in the other direction.

He soon reached a building that was enveloped in pinkish red light.

There was a signboard hung outside the building:

[Song and Dance Troupe of Sin]

[1] Bao Lord seems to be a unique title without any equivalent in English, so I left it alone. You can think of this position as either a record keeper; or the one who determines who goes where during reincarnation.
