"A terrifying monster that went extinct long ago?"
Gu Qing Shan and Crow exchanged glances.
"That's right, we couldn't win at all, I really don't know what happened here" Omaki dejectedly said.
"You're a researcher of the Void Library, please take a look for us — —"
Saying so, Crow drew his rapier and tapped the void of space a few times.
Images of a shield-wielding warrior, a red-robed caster, an armored giant, and a three-headed hound appeared one after another, all of them vivid and lifelike.
Gu Qing Shan asked from the side: "We ran into a few of these guys, do you know who they were?"
Omaki glanced over them and replied: "They were all entities of the Saint Spirit world, you were very lucky to run into them, as they are all races that abide by the rules of combat"
"What about you? What did you run into? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"There were two platoons in this batch — — the first platoon consisted of 39 people, they were directly dragged into the ocean, ran into an octopus monster, and were completely wiped out; I was in the second platoon and ran into the Plague Apocalypse, only managing to escape with my life. In truth, if you hadn't saved me, I would have died as well" as Omaki explained, he couldn't help but display a sorrowful expression.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed a bit, then asked: "Did each of that octopus monster's tentacles grow a human head?"
"Yes" Omaki replied.
"What was it?" Gu Qing Shan pursued.
"A type of void monster that had long since disappeared from the River of Time. Due to its excessively powerful abilities, it was almost invincible within the void. After that, it went to challenge the Inner Plane and fought for 70 days before being killed by the combined forces of the Old Gods and the Eternal Abyss" Omaki explained.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Fortunately, I ran fast enough, otherwise I would have died as well"
"What's the deal with the Plague Apocalypse?" Crow asked with interest.
Omaki patiently explained: "The Plague Apocalypse is an irresistible mutation, anyone could be infected and turned into a Man Killer Fiend or Man Eater Fiend"
"We conducted reverse research and speculations on this Apocalypse, discovering that the Plague Apocalypse originally had more than a thousand forms, capable of destroying countless worlds — — we were scared to death at the time, but fortunately, this Apocalypse had always been in a weakened state, not changing even after it was destroyed"
"Over a thousand different forms of the plague?" Crow couldn't help but click his tongue and exclaim: "Sure enough, scholars like you really do know a lot"
Omaki said dejectedly, "What's the use of knowing more? This time, we encountered over a thousand different forms of the plague. It was too terrifying. Everyone ended up dying."
"And you relied on the power of knowledge to survive" Gu Qing Shan gently replied.
"My original research topic was the Plague Apocalypse, so after encountering this Apocalypse, I managed to hold on for the longest time until your rescue arrived."
Speaking of this, Omaki felt somewhat fortunate.
Gu Qing Shan's mind raced.
Why do I feel like …
He seemed to have overlooked something.
He paced back and forth in the tower, deep in thought.
At some point, he finally remembered.
It was a conversation:
"You've encountered a Man Killer Fiend and a Man Eater Fiend, correct?" the lady asked.
"Yes" he answered at the time.
The lady continued:
"It was a parallel world Apocalypse, it originally swept through every space within that parallel world. Not only were there Man Killer Fiends and Man Eater Fiends, but there were also over a thousand different forms, some of which were simply irresistible and directly destroyed billions of worlds"
"Although this Apocalypse managed to reach our world, it had already used up all of its power, leaving only the Man Killer Fiends and Man Eater Fiends"
…
That's right!
Gu Qing Shan silently clenched his fist.
Lady Fusi had once explained to me about the 'destruction and corrosion of parallel worlds'.
She had mentioned this before.
… Countless overlapping worlds, a lost civilization, and a Plague Apocalypse at its peak.
Lady Fusi's voice once again resounded in his ears:
"For the remains of a parallel world and the Apocalypse they carried, it is very difficult to change from a 'parallel' state to a 'descended' state, as it would consume a large amount of power"
"Those Apocalypses that descended on our world were no longer as powerful, so they wouldn't cause too much of an impact — — - under normal circumstances"
Under normal circumstances …
Under normal circumstances.
Could it be — — -
Gu Qing Shan felt a chill crawling down his spine.
"The current moment is …" he muttered.
"According to the common human timekeeping system, it's currently 5 PM, it's almost nightfall" Crow commented from the side.
Gu Qing Shan silently shook his head.
That's not what I'm asking.
— — I used the power of the three coins to return to the moment of the Spire's destruction to fight against the Soul Shrieker.
When the world of the Spire turned into a Temporal Oasis and headed towards the future, I used the [Distortion] power of the Space-Time Coins to escape from the Temporal Oasis and return to the moment when the Eternal Abyss and the Wraith realm first began their war.
At this point in time, I and Lin should have met up with Lola in the 900 million World Layers, and the three of them should have returned to the Bramble Bird Kingdom.
Indeed.
I'm currently at this moment.
My past self was about to arrive at the Bramble Bird Kingdom and meet up with Ye Fei Li, Jang Young-ho, as well as Boss.
And my current self was using the power of [Distortion] to travel through the Tomb of Myriad Beasts to Void City, currently thinking of a way to infiltrate the Wraith realm.
This was a point in time.
And it was at this point in time that the [Fate Corrosion] that the Wraith realm had been planning for countless years had erupted within the Eternal Abyss.
The Eternal Abyss was forced to flow backwards into the 900 million World Layers and began to wage the most intense war against the Wraith realm.
— — what did Lady Fusi say about this?
This is too important.
Hurry and think, hurry and remember!
Gu Qing Shan tried his best to recall — — -
"What's the matter?" Crow noticed his strange expression and doubtfully asked.
"It's nothing, I'm thinking about something very important, we'll talk about it later" Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively.
He was trying his best to recall the conversation he had with Lady Fusi.
Suddenly, the scene of that conversation appeared in his mind again.
Lady Fusi slowly explained:
"This parallel world was incredibly powerful, intensely fighting against the Apocalypse, breaking away from the definition of 'parallel' and falling into our Eternal Abyss, right next to the Reality Gate"
"Which means, our Eternal Abyss is currently enduring the fate of that powerful parallel world, as well as the aftermath of that parallel world's Apocalypse?"
"That's right, child …"
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tightly.
This time, it wasn't a 'normal situation'.
— — the countless overlapping worlds, the lost civilization, the Plague Apocalypse at its peak, could all of these be secondary effects of the [Fate Corrosion]?
If they came from that incredibly powerful parallel world, everything would make sense.
"Did you think of anything?"
Crow observed his expression and curiously asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied without changing his expression: "I didn't, it's nothing more than a few conjectures. I don't have any proof right now, so I can't take it seriously"
— — that should be the case.
Apocalypse, civilization, monster.
Everything from a parallel world had descended into this world.
They were too powerful.
No one in this world was a match for them.
Bastards!!!
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a surge of killing intent.
What exactly is the Wraith realm trying to do?
Not only do they want to win against the Eternal Abyss, but they also want to completely destroy this world?
Ting ting ting — —
A notification sounded.
Gu Qing Shan turned around to see Omaki taking out an ID card and reading its contents.
"That's great, the situation here has attracted the attention of the higher-ups, more powerful Professionists are about to arrive, and the void war mode is about to be activated" Omaki said.
"What's a void war mode?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"When the infinite worlds of the void feel that the Quest method is unable to resolve the Apocalypse, they will band together, gather their armies, and wage war" Omaki replied.
"Seems like they believe that the Apocalypse here is still at Unsolvable level, so it's still worth fighting for" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"Indeed"
Crow also sighed in relief and continued: "That's for the best, we can barely protect ourselves in the current situation, but there are too many enemies, perhaps — — -"
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and disappeared.
Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]!
He immediately leapt forward and covered Crow's mouth.
Crow appeared confused.
"Brother Crow, I'm begging you, the current situation is too dangerous, please don't open your mouth"
Gu Qing Shan solemnly said.
