The dark void was boundless and endless.
Gu Qing Shan was being pulled along by an immense force as he flew through the darkness.
Unlike in the past, the teleportation this time was filled with noise.
He could hear many voices, see countless light and shadow images, and feel the auras of all kinds of living beings.
At some point, he saw a familiar scene.
It was the scene when he became Xie Dao Ling's disciple in Bai Hua sect.
However, this scene was different from the one in his memories.
Xie Dao Ling wielded the Earth sword, flew down from her throne, and personally went to fight the Beast Saints.
Everything disappeared in an instant.
As he flew, the scene completely disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while.
— — strange, Xie Dao Ling gave up on her path of the sword to pass the Earth sword to me, so why did she use the Earth sword to fight the enemies in the scene just now?
All of a sudden, the next scene appeared in front of his eyes.
It was still Bai Hua palace.
Xie Dao Ling was lightly leaning on her throne, her hand exuding a faint aura.
Huang Quan Origin power!
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
Without much time to think, the scene once again flew away. His surroundings returned to darkness.
He was still flying at full speed within the chaotic void of space.
But now, he finally understood the meaning of the two scenes just now.
— — -they were two completely different, parallel worlds.
At a certain point in time, Fate had diverged into different paths. Everyone's Fate and path had also changed.
Gu Qing Shan's mind turned and suddenly asked: "Why are you showing me this? Where are you? "
There was no answer from the dark void.
But very quickly, another scene appeared in front of his eyes.
— — -it was a battlefield.
Gu Qing Shan saw countless white flame skeletons, as well as numerous large white flame monsters that were fighting against many powerful Professionists.
None of those Professionists were weaker than Gu Qing Shan, but as they fought against the white flame monsters, they all died.
Behind the white flame monsters, a pillar of light that connected heaven and earth was slowly engulfing the entire world.
The entire world was destroyed along with all the Professionists.
All the light disappeared.
The void returned to darkness.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask again: "Why are you showing me this? Where are you? "
In the endless void, the wind whistled, but no sound responded to him.
After a long while, the whistling wind turned into a soft whisper, quietly ringing in his ears.
"Gu Qing Shan … I'm currently dealing with an Apocalypse that's beyond imagination, so I can't show myself to you for now"
It was the voice of the giant corpse!
Gu Qing Shan said, "Is that the light just now? That is the true Apocalypse that Reneedol had called for "
The wind turned into a whisper and replied: [Indeed, Space-Time could no longer deceive it, so I had no choice but to use the destruction of one parallel world after another to deceive it, hoping that it would leave this Reality Gate as soon as possible]
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked, "Parallel world is just a technique? Did you cast that spell? "
「 No, the parallel world technique originated from the depths of the Dusty World, I wasn't the one who performed it, but the Dusty World had tacitly allowed me to use this technique to deceive the Apocalypse 」 the giant corpse replied.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "What exactly was the White Light Apocalypse this time? Why did even the Lord of Infinite Origins lose to it, and you had no choice but to use a deceptive method to trick it away? "
The giant corpse sighed and said: "Come, Gu Qing Shan, I'll show you the scenery outside the Reality Gate"
Before he even finished, Gu Qing Shan felt the pulling force on his body becoming countless times stronger.
Countless images flashed past his eyes at an incredible speed, so fast that he didn't even have the chance to see a single one of them clearly.
— — -they were all parallel worlds.
"How many parallel worlds did you use to deceive the Apocalypse?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but shout.
「 I'm not sure 」 the giant corpse replied in a low voice, 「 perhaps only a few dozen, perhaps all of them 」
Gu Qing Shan felt a chill in his heart.
— — -if the True Apocalypse couldn't be stopped, then all of the parallel worlds might have to be used to stop it!
The giant corpse continued: 「 In the future, Reneedol summoned the True Apocalypse — — or perhaps you could call it the Unknowable Apocalypse — — in truth, 'Unknowable' was a name I came up with, purposefully allowing this name to be spread across all worlds in order to urge all living beings to ponder the true meaning of the Apocalypse 」
「 Just as I said, Space-Time was no longer able to stop its invasion, so even if you transmigrated back, some of the Apocalypse's creatures would follow you back to the past and try to kill you 」
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered.
All the images disappeared.
Within the darkness, a cluster of quicksand was being bathed in white flames.
The white flames were constantly attacking the cluster of quicksand without end, without end, without end.
His vision expanded.
Outside of the quicksand was a withered yellow leaf. The leaf slowly drifted down and landed on a barren planet.
This planet was only one of the billions of planets in the entire galaxy.
Outside of the galaxy, there were countless other worlds that existed without end in sight.
All of these worlds were bathed in the endless white flames, enduring the incessant cleansing of the flames.
The giant corpse's voice resounded again:
「 Gu Qing Shan, as you already know, a world is sometimes nothing but a handful of sand, a single leaf is a collection of 9000 worlds, or even billions of planets might only be a part of a single world, and our Reality Gate is hidden within the nothingness of these worlds 」
Gu Qing Shan looked at the world being cleansed by the white light, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
All of a sudden, he saw that the handful of sand from before had been completely destroyed by the white flames.
— — -it had been completely destroyed by the Apocalypse.
"What exactly was this Apocalypse created by the white flames?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
The giant corpse replied: 「 There are many types of Apocalypse, and I can deal with most of them, but the one that truly cannot be understood by living beings is something like this — — 」
Its voice became cold and oppressive:
「 This Apocalypse believes that living beings are nothing but sentient coincidences, and its mission is to erase all coincidences and return the void to silence 」
「 As you can see, its power is boundless, and it can naturally destroy all living beings — — I do not know who gave it such power, nor do I have the courage to stand against it — — - that would be the same as throwing me into eternal oblivion 」
「 — — this unknown Apocalypse has far surpassed the understanding of living beings. Its mere existence can naturally destroy everything — — including me, including you, and even all living beings 」
「 No one can stop it 」
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "Is there no other way?"
The giant corpse replied: 「 Originally, there was no other way, fortunately, you have the Key of the Past and the help of the Time clan, which allowed you to survive. But the skeleton of light manifested by its clone had lost too much of its power, so it temporarily doesn't have the power to destroy everything and summon the main body outside 」
Gu Qing Shan silently thought for a bit, then muttered in a low voice: "It also wants to obtain the frozen corpses, could it be that it wants to absorb the power of the frozen corpses to summon the main body outside?"
"That is indeed the case. Once it obtains power, it would be useless for me to use parallel worlds to confuse its main body" the giant corpse replied.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the endless flames in the dark void.
More and more worlds were being washed away and destroyed by the flames, but the flames still didn't weaken at all.
Destroying everything.
For the endless flames, this was an extremely natural and necessary thing to do.
This was the purpose of its existence.
Gu Qing Shan stared blankly and muttered to himself: "… Now that the Reality Gate has been opened, the skeletons of flames that it manifested have followed me through space-time, still trying to kill me, perhaps even destroying the entire River of Life and Death"
The giant corpse sighed and continued: "I can only offer up parallel worlds for it to destroy in order to temporarily confuse it and stall for time"
"… You must have a way to deal with it" Gu Qing Shan suddenly said.
"No, I don't have a way to deal with it, but there is still a single way to prevent us from dying at its hands" the giant corpse replied.
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Close the Reality Gate and completely disappear from its sight" the giant corpse replied.
"Close … the Reality Gate?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
The giant corpse replied: "Indeed, it came here in response to Reneedol's summon and found the location of the Reality Gate — — you need to understand one thing, the Reality Gate is hidden within the endless void of space, so it isn't that easy to find. Once we close the gate, it might not be able to find us again"
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "It's worth a try … but how do we close the Reality Gate?"
"No one is able to do that, because the Reality Gate can only be opened and closed with a corresponding object" the giant corpse collapsed.
Gu Qing Shan seemed to have realized something and asked: "You mean … the Key of the Past in my hand?"
"The Key of the Past was only a fragment of the object, it couldn't close the Reality Gate — — if we want to close it now, we must find the entity that broke it — — - only by relying on that entity's power would we be able to close the gate"
Gu Qing Shan hesitantly asked: "You mean …"
"Indeed, the Reality Gate is hidden at the center of the Eternal Abyss — — - a very long time ago, it was once broken open by the frozen corpse, so you need to awaken that secret Apocalypse and use its power to close the gate from the inside"
The giant corpse sighed, then continued:
"The Corpse Sealer had already realized this. It had sensed this from a very long time ago, which was why it turned into the Apocalypse, took control of the frozen corpse step by step, then turned into the Lord of Infinite Origins, then finally guarded the Eternal Abyss and hid the Reality Gate inside — — but this was all based on its intuition, it didn't realize the reason for its actions"
"You mean — — – Shroud?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed" the giant corpse praised, "it was truly impressive, it had already made all preparations, even using the six Sealing Tokens to hide its corpse, all for today's moment"
"Go, Gu Qing Shan"
"Hurry up and find all of the frozen corpse's components, reassemble it, awaken it, and stand up"
"Only with its power can the World Gate be closed."
"I can't hold on for much longer"
"Hurry — —"
Oong!!!
A resounding noise resounded in her ears.
Gu Qing Shan was pulled back by an irresistible force.
He passed through countless parallel worlds, some of which were still fighting against the flames of the Apocalypse, while others had already been destroyed.
— — -if the Reality Gate still hadn't closed after these parallel Apocalypses were destroyed, then everything would end.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the silent fragments of worlds.
He was falling straight down.
Falling.
Falling. His speed was getting faster and faster, but time was getting longer and longer.
All of a sudden. At a certain point — —
In her room in the hotel, Gu Qing Shan abruptly opened her eyes.
"Gongzi?" Shannu's concerned voice resounded.
