Gu Qing Shan went silent.
The other 'me' said that it was an unknown Apocalypse.
This means that they also don't know what it was and only saw it from afar.
If it was a normal Apocalypse, then there's still hope.
But if the real Apocalypse outside the Reality Gate was similar to that long-cheeked skull, then everything would be over.
In short …
I can't afford to gamble.
"Have you tracked those people yet?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The child regretfully replied: "They're very cautious and didn't give me a chance to set up a tracking method"
After all, the only outcome for those people was death, so he naturally wouldn't spend any effort to track them.
Gu Qing Shan already knew that would be the case, so she was already waiting for him to say something.
"If we can't find them, and the great tomb is too vast, let's split up and notify each other when we find anything"
As soon as she said so, while the child was still thinking, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Attention!]
[Attention!]
[The illusory fragment of the Apocalypse is currently invading your space]
[This Apocalypse is a perception-triggered Apocalypse. In other words, as soon as someone notices its existence, that person will be pulled into it]
[Fortunately, it isn't the real Apocalypse outside the Reality Gate, but only an illusory fragment of the real Apocalypse]
[After a countdown of ten seconds, all of you will be devoured by the illusory fragment of the Apocalypse, only those who survive until the end will be able to return to reality]
[Ten]
[Nine]
…
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
Such an Apocalypse actually exists.
Just knowing about it would cause one to be caught and devoured by it.
The other 'Gu Qing Shan' told me that this Apocalypse has already arrived.
Such a simple sentence was enough to bring about the arrival of the apocalypse!
If the War God UI said that, then this Apocalypse is unavoidable.
He sighed and released his inner sight to observe everyone.
This Apocalypse is currently invading my space, and it's already too late to hide.
Because as long as I give the others a hint to hide, it would be the same as letting them know what's about to happen here.
Once they know, they will be pulled into this illusory fragment of the Apocalypse.
There's nowhere to run.
Suddenly, the child's expression changed and he shouted, "Not good!"
He was the first to sense the end of the world!
On the back of the Wraith's corpse, everyone's expressions changed.
"What's going on? Where did this Apocalypse come from? "
"This is the feeling of doomsday. Yes, but we haven't entered the Tomb River yet!"
"There's nowhere to run now. I can only accept the challenge!"
Everyone spoke at once and drew their weapons, holding their breaths as they prepared themselves.
They could never forget the aura of the apocalypse.
Logically speaking, this kind of reaction was differentiated by the degree of strength.
The stronger the monster, the more sensitive it would be to the Apocalypse, and the earlier it would notice the Apocalypse was coming.
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight scanned through everyone, then finally focused on Shan Hai Qi Xia.
At first, Shan Hai Qi Xia was a bit confused, but quickly regained her senses.
This woman was actually the weakest among them?
Gu Qing Shan's mind raced, but she saw Old Man Embracing Bones and Extinguishing Saintly Hands standing by her side with respectful expressions.
Without much time to think, the countdown on the War God UI had reached zero.
A curtain of light flashed.
Everyone disappeared from the demon's back.
…
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
He found that he was wearing a soldier's uniform, sitting on the cold stairs.
His appearance was still that of Li San Lang.
Behind him was a majestic giant gate.
A group of soldiers were standing guard together with him in front of the gate.
They didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his appearance at all, one of them even patted his shoulder and asked: "Li San Lang, after the shift is over, how about we go for a drink together?"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "I'll have to think about it first"
All of a sudden, following an inexplicable headache, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
So this place was a destroyed world.
I've become a part of this world, so I must survive until the very last moment of this world's destruction.
At that point, if I'm still alive, I'll be able to leave this illusion fragment.
This really is …
A type of Apocalypse that's too bizarre.
Gu Qing Shan slowly accepted his identity and exhaled, then watched as his breath turned into white mist within the bone-chilling wind.
At this point, it was snowing.
It was already nighttime.
Gu Qing Shan silently called out in his mind: "War God UI"
Lines of glowing text appeared:
[You may spend 100 Soul Points to examine the current illusion's background]
[You may spend 200 Soul Points to examine your current body's condition]
[The UI has analyzed the current illusion and connected to the corresponding Laws of your body, you may spend 500 Soul Points to examine the corresponding information]
Gu Qing Shan said: "That's enough, I'll pay the Soul Points, tell me what's the current situation"
All the glowing text on the War God UI disappeared, replaced by a new notification:
"Time: Previous era."
[Location: Frost Snow Crown world (destroyed)]
[Event: The fall of the capital city]
[Within this illusion, you've randomly obtained an identity: King's City Guardian]
[In 30 minutes, the Apocalypse will arrive, please prepare yourself]
[Attention: Due to the compatibility of your identity and skills, during this Apocalypse, you cannot do anything that goes against your identity under the watchful eyes of local living beings, otherwise, you will be directly thrown into the center of the Apocalypse to endure endless slaughter]
[Secondly, you can only choose a single primary combat ability, please choose one from the following options:]
[Swordsmanship, Fist Arts, Archery, Cooking, Sacrificial Dance]
[Attention, once you've chosen, you will only be able to use that ability during this illusion]
Gu Qing Shan hesitated briefly, then said: "I choose Fist Arts"
Indeed, now that all the monsters have entered this Apocalypse illusion, if I suddenly use any other combat ability, wouldn't I draw suspicion?
Not to mention, the power of [Ethereal] is unimaginably powerful.
Following Gu Qing Shan's choice, a pair of thin metal gauntlets appeared on his hands.
A line of glowing text appeared:
[Kingdom's standard gauntlets]
[Beginner-level equipment, unique property: Sturdy]
[Attention: You have 29 minutes to prepare]
Gu Qing Shan looked up and scanned through the soldiers.
He immediately noticed Shan Hai Qi Xia.
She seemed to be a military officer, wearing a tight, dark-colored military uniform. From his expression, she had only just regained her senses, a bit confused, perhaps even a bit nervous.
The Apocalypse illusion wouldn't have explained everything in detail like the War God UI did.
Most likely, she only knew that it was very dangerous and that she had to survive the Apocalypse.
All of a sudden, a whisper resounded in his ears:
"Who are you looking at, brat?"
Another voice replied: "He's looking at the military rose, tsk tsk tsk, what a toad lusting after a swan's flesh"
"Don't say that, do you dare to say that you didn't sneak a peek at her?"
A few soldiers who were familiar with each other laughed.
At this point, they had finished their sentry duties for the day and could rest, so they were quite relaxed.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the War God UI.
[There are 27 minutes left until the Apocalypse descends]
After a moment of silence, he headed straight for Shan Hai Qi Xia.
At this point, Shan Hai Qi Xia also noticed him and was about to greet him when she heard Gu Qing Shan's voice:
"Make sure you don't get caught, you can't do anything that doesn't match your identity in public!"
Shan Hai Qi Xia froze.
Gu Qing Shan walked up to her and saluted: "Sir, this subordinate Li Qiu Shan has something to report to you.
Shan Hai Qi Xia nodded: "Very well, follow me"
She led Gu Qing Shan through the city gate, all the way to the military station, and entered one of the rooms.
The door closed behind them.
Shan Hai Qi Xia immediately knelt down on one knee: "This subordinate greets the Shaman"
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer.
Instead, he looked around the room.
This was clearly the living quarters of a female military officer, there were some clothes hanging out to dry, and the room was decorated in a feminine style.
A bottle of liquor was placed on the table next to the fireplace.
Gu Qing Shan stepped forward, opened the bottle, and took a sip.
It was incredibly fragrant.
Gu Qing Shan raised the bottle and asked: "This place seems to have contained your entire life, do you have any recollection of it?"
Without receiving the War Shaman's permission, Shan Hai Qi Xia still knelt on one knee and spoke with a respectful attitude: "I suddenly recalled a few memories. This Apocalypse illusion seems to have arranged various identities for each of us. Before this, we had established various relationships in this world, including family, friends, as well as experiences"
Gu Qing Shan nodded, sat down on a chair, and looked at Shan Hai Qi Xia.
For a long while, he didn't say anything.
"Sir?" Shan Hai Qi Xia looked at him in confusion.
"Hm, I actually felt that you did quite well, so I didn't know how to praise you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He glanced at the void of space.
There were 21 minutes left before the Apocalypse would descend.
Shan Hai Qi Xia's beautiful face displayed a deep sense of doubt.
"Sir … I don't understand what you mean" she carefully said.
Gu Qing Shan also seemed a bit troubled.
Suddenly, he reached his hand into the void of space.
The jade disk that was tossed into the void of space once again appeared.
Gu Qing Shan's voice came from the jade disk: "So this Apocalypse is perception-triggered, we've also entered"
Another 'Gu Qing Shan' said: "It seems we need to first discuss whether we should meet up or investigate this world on our own. The third 'me', what do you think?"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
Sure enough, this is a perception-triggered Apocalypse illusion.
The other two 'me' were clearly in the Asura graveyard, only saw this Apocalypse from the shore of the Tomb River, and were devoured just like that.
Three 'me' …
This feeling is a bit strange, but also a bit expectant.
After all, I'm surrounded by monsters, so I'm lacking in manpower.
Except for this woman …
No matter how I look at it, she seems to have a little secret. Furthermore, when I used [Ethereal] to scatter the apocalyptic monsters, she immediately returned from the great tomb.
Before this, her perception towards the Apocalypse couldn't compare to any of them.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly clenched her fist and struck from afar.
This strike came without any warning, Shan Hai Qi Xia wanted to block it, but it was already too late.
This strike was [Ethereal Mountain]!
In an instant, she froze in place, unable to move at all.
Gu Qing Shan stood up, walked forward, and placed his hand on her smooth forehead.
[Soul Reading], activate!
With his current Sumeru Lord realm, activating this type of [Soul Reading] technique was almost as easy as flipping his hand.
Shan Hai Qi Xia's thoughts were shattered by the [Grand Mountain] punch, so she couldn't even sense what he was doing.
A few moments later.
After finishing her investigation, Gu Qing Shan returned and sat down again.
Shan Hai Qi Xia was still stunned.
Time slowly passed.
10 breaths' worth of time had finally passed. Shan Hai Qi Xia's eyes regained their focus.
She no longer knelt on one knee, instead slowly stood up, her expression filled with nervousness and caution.
"Your grace, just now …"
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively, then hesitantly said: "First of all, I need you to understand something, I'm on your side"
Shan Hai Qi Xia looked at him, then suddenly chuckled: "What kind of weird things are you saying, your grace? It wasn't easy for us to leave the great tomb and reincarnate into the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, not to mention that I was originally your grace's wife "
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then openly told her: "Shan Hai Qi Xia, I know that you used a certain method to kill the monster that tried to replace you, but in truth, I also killed the War Shaman"
Shan Hai Qi Xia's body trembled, exclaiming in shock: "That's impossible!"
