The sky slowly darkened.
In the room, Gu Qing Shan and Zhao Qiong were sitting across from each other.
"A unique Apocalypse? What will happen? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Zhao Qiong handed her a piece of bone.
"This is called the Immovable Armor. Take it, it will allow your soul vessel to remain motionless, that way, your soul vessel won't be taken away by that Apocalypse" Zhao Qiong told her.
Gu Qing Shan received the piece of bone, only to see that it was filled with runes.
"I've learned this in history class. We've already defeated quite a few Apocalypses and sealed a few of them, so why would an Apocalypse still appear within the School?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Zhao Qiong replied: "Because this Apocalypse can't be sealed, and it just so happened to land within our Western Sea Grotto. Fortunately, it isn't too powerful, so we can only close one eye and wait for it to descend every once in a while"
She began to seriously explain:
"Half an hour later, the Grudgeful Spirit Apocalypse will appear"
"This Apocalypse will pick out your enemies from among the living beings who have already died, allowing them to appear in front of you again"
"All of your enemies will come to attack you together"
"For powerful people, this Apocalypse is extremely dangerous"
"But you're only a child, so you should be fine. With my piece of bone protecting you, there shouldn't be any issues"
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly, then smiled: "Senior Zhao, have you eaten yet?"
Zhao Qiong was surprised.
We're clearly talking about the Apocalypse, why did it suddenly jump to eating?
"I … haven't eaten yet, because your cooking is quite good, I decided to come here to freeload" she casually replied.
Gu Qing Shan said: "There's not much salt and vinegar left at home, since there's still half an hour left, can you go to the end of the street and buy some for me? I'll use them for cooking"
Zhao Qiong immediately stood up and said: "Alright, just stay at home and don't run around, I'll be back after I buy them"
She quickly went out to buy some spices and returned to the room, only to see Li San Lang sitting there blankly with the piece of bone in his hand.
"Ah, here's the salt and vinegar you wanted" Zhao Qiong said.
Li San Lang regained his senses and smiled: "Alright, what would you like to eat tonight, senior Zhao?"
"Anything. Right, the noodles you made last time weren't bad"
"Alright, let's eat noodles then."
As they chatted, they began to busy themselves in the kitchen.
A cat squatted in the corner, quietly watching this scene.
After a while, when it was sure that everything was all right, it jumped out of the window.
The cat didn't care about anything else. Like an orange afterimage, it dashed through the night.
Very soon, it arrived at the edge of the School of Mountains and Seas. The seawater parted to form a path for it to enter the range of the ocean.
He plunged into the sea.
The orange cat sprinted upwards, crossed a long distance, and finally appeared on the surface of the ocean.
It flew forward on the surface of the sea. Sometimes, it suddenly disappeared, crossing thousands of miles. It kept moving forward, forward, and forward!
Finally, the orange cat arrived at a desolate desert.
It slowly squatted down on a high sand dune and rested for a while.
Shannu was disguised as herself and eating dinner with Zhao Qiong.
Under the night sky, I turned into the orange cat and used the power of [Ghostly Shadow of Night] to borrow [Spotless Jade] from Adorable
Then, he used the Chao Yin's ability to control the sea to directly pass through the sea, away from the place where living beings could spy on him.
And now, the vengeful spirits' Apocalypse was approaching.
The orange cat sighed and turned back into Gu Qing Shan.
The trillions of dead people had been returned to Primal Chaos by me, unable to return.
Then, who would come?
Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the sand dune and silently waited.
Half an hour had passed.
Everything between heaven and earth slowly became blurry.
As if another world had arrived from an extremely distant Space-Time and overlapped with the entire Western Sea Grotto.
Within the blur, a certain figure slowly became clear.
It once again appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"I didn't think this Apocalypse would be able to travel through Space-Time and summon you here" Gu Qing Shan said.
A female voice resounded: "I also didn't think that a certain power would awaken me from my slumber"
After a pause, the female voice turned into a resounding male voice: "However, this Apocalypse is truly too weak, summoning me in the form of a vengeful spirit, how am I supposed to fight against you?"
The Soul Shrieker.
It was brought back to Gu Qing Shan by the Apocalypse.
If such a scene were to occur in the School of Shan Hai, it would most likely cause a huge commotion, with no one knowing how to resolve it.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "You have the ability to absorb souls, victory or defeat is still uncertain"
The Soul Shrieker didn't have any will to fight and shook its head: 『「 You have the Devil King Rod of Huang Quan』」
This statement directly exposed the situation.
As a dead person, against the Devil King Warden Rod, the only way out was for their soul to dissipate.
The Soul Shrieker stared closely at Gu Qing Shan and slowly retreated.
『「 I'm leaving, Gu Qing Shan 」」 it spoke with its female voice, 『「 I will not enter reincarnation, nor will I be under your control, we will never meet again』」
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Ask"
"At first, I thought that you came from the Abyss, a monster from the Abyss, but then you joined [Chaos], which made me hesitant and uncertain as to where you came from" Gu Qing Shan replied.
『「 From the Abyss? No, the Eternal Abyss was originally an unparalleled existence within the space vortex, we were nothing but its vassals』 while retreating, the Soul Shrieker replied.
Its figure was slowly becoming blurry, almost unrecognizable.
"Then what exactly are you trying to do? What is your ultimate goal? "Gu Qing Shan pursued.
The Soul Shrieker stopped and replied:
『「 Even tiny insects like you are thinking of ways to become stronger, why can't we entities of the void do the same?』」
『「 Ever since I gained consciousness, I've understood a certain truth』」
『「 We entities of the void, only by becoming as powerful as the Eternal Abyss would we be able to obtain true freedom』」
『「 To achieve this goal, I am willing to join anyone, to do anything, whether it is destruction or creation, as long as I am as powerful as the Eternal Abyss, I will do anything regardless of the cost』」
『「 Unfortunately, I never thought that you would be related to the Dusty World, this is the only place where I failed』」
Gu Qing Shan silently listened, then suddenly asked: "What kind of world is the Dusty World exactly?"
The Soul Shrieker abruptly laughed.
『「 Do you think I would tell you?』」 it spoke full of hatred.
『「 Gu Qing Shan, there are countless secrets within the void, these secrets determine the fate of every single person, and I will never tell you the truth about the space vortex』」
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change and continued to ask: "Then let's not talk about anything else, I only want to ask you, now that you've awakened, if you won't enter the cycle of reincarnation, where will your soul go?"
The Soul Shrieker slowly stepped forward, slowly heading into the boundless void.
It spoke with its male voice: 『「 I've strived for countless years, destroyed all living beings of the infinite worlds, but in the end, I'm still so weak and insignificant, it can be seen that my life has been a meaningless one』」
『「 Whenever I think of this, my heart is filled with indescribable rage』」
It suddenly looked up and shouted: 『「 Primal Chaos! I am a living being who has given up on the cycle of life and death, please allow me to return to nothingness!』」
A boundless golden waterfall descended from above and enveloped the Soul Shrieker.
Its body slowly faded away within this waterfall manifested by Primal Chaos.
Primal Chaos was the origin of everything, compared to all things, living beings, and worlds, it was the deepest mystery of the Laws, the manifestation of everything.
It wasn't in the realm of life, nor was it the realm of death, nor was it nothingness, it was the origin of everything, the most primal state of everything.
If the Soul Shrieker entered Primal Chaos, its soul would no longer exist, everything it was would be assimilated with Primal Chaos.
The previous Lord of the Space-Time Mystery Nest was the same, even if it had thousands of preparations and tricks up its sleeves, it would still be destroyed by a single strike from Gu Qing Shan, returning to Primal Chaos, unable to return to any Space-Time.
A female voice resounded:
『「 Goodbye, Gu Qing Shan, I never want to see your face that was constantly struggling to survive again』」
The female voice turned into a male voice:
『「 Remember, I didn't lose to you』」
『「 I lost to fate』」
The waterfall rose all the way to the sky, then disappeared without a trace.
Everything disappeared, leaving only Gu Qing Shan standing on top of the sand dune.
He stood there for a long time.
It wasn't until this Apocalypse slowly faded away that he slowly spoke: "In truth, besides success and failure, there are many interesting and meaningful things in life. To protect these things, living beings will do things that you would never imagine"
"If you don't understand this, then you don't understand living beings"
"When the knell rings, it doesn't only ring for living beings, because all things have a beginning and an end, it also rings for you. But you don't even understand living beings, nor do you understand the connection between Cause and Effect, so you cannot win against fate"
"This is the true reason for your defeat"
