The carriage continued to move forward.
While controlling the direction of the carriage, Zhao Xiao Seng shouted into the carriage:
"Benefactor Gu, now that you're dead, what's the plan after this?"
There was no answer from inside the carriage.
Zhao Xiao Seng turned around, only to see Gu Qing Shan's corpse lying motionlessly on the ground.
This time, Zhao Xiao Seng was panicking.
The people in the village were madly chasing after them.
The monster's movements were even faster, each step crossing several hundred meters of distance, causing the ground itself to tremble.
Zhao Xiao Seng called out: "Amitabha, benefactor Gu, if you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to chant the Ksitigarbha Sutra ahead of time"
"— — no need"
Gu Qing Shan's voice resounded.
While saying so, he glanced at the void of space.
The highest echelon of the Sequence was displaying lines of notification:
Gu Qing Shan's expression slowly turned a bit surprised.
Who would've thought that the echelon would make a request at this point?
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had slowly climbed up and moved his body to open the carriage door.
— — from the looks of it, he wanted to jump off the carriage.
"What!? You're still being controlled!!! "Zhao Xiao Seng madly exclaimed.
"It's fine, I'll just die again. What I want to say now is that you continue driving towards the burial mound on the mountain, speed up …" Gu Qing Shan calmly told him.
Bam!
Gu Qing Shan collapsed to the ground, dead.
Zhao Xiao Seng's mouth twitched, then whipped the horse with his whip.
"Hyah!"
The carriage sped up again and continued to run forward.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly opened his eyes and looked behind the carriage.
"They won't be able to catch up in time" he concluded.
"So what if we're at the burial mound? Can we avoid the monster behind us? "Zhao Xiao Seng asked.
Gu Qing Shan recalled: "When I first met that monster, I made a covenant with it — — - at the time, it couldn't help but tell me that the reason it was trapped here was because it had fused with the Apocalypse, the Samsara wouldn't let it out"
While saying so, Gu Qing Shan climbed up and tried to open the carriage door.
"Fused with the Apocalypse? So what? "Zhao Xiao Seng asked.
Bam!
A muffled sound.
Gu Qing Shan fell to the ground, dead again.
Lying on the floor, he opened his eyes again and said, "The Six Realms Divine Sword lent me the power of 'Si Shen'. I have been trying to figure out the intention of the divine sword, and now I understand."
"Understand what?" Zhao Xiao Seng asked.
No response.
Gu Qing Shan crawled up and hurriedly pulled the carriage door open, only to fall to the ground and die again.
He came back to life and continued: 「 A very long time ago, the carriers of [Chaos] came up with a solution, which was to plunge the entire world into death and destruction. This way, even if the Apocalypse came, there would be no target and nothing could be done 」
Zhao Xiao Seng was surprised: "You mean, only the dead can escape from this Apocalypse of Fear?"
"Yes, the connection between this Phase Realm and the Origin World is that grave mound. Take me there and throw me on top of that grave mound" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Is that fine?" Zhao Xiao Seng asked uncertainly.
"Because the Apocalypse can't be used on the dead, I will appear in the Origin World — — in other words, escape from this place" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Zhao Xiao Seng sighed and muttered: "Amitabha, I've never seen someone like you who would even use death as a tool"
Bam!
The familiar sound of someone falling to the ground could be heard from behind.
Gu Qing Shan died again.
Zhao Xiao Seng sighed: "Amitabha … but you're dying a bit too often"
The carriage was moving quickly, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Not too long later, they arrived in front of the mound that looked like a hill.
Zhao Xiao Seng left the carriage, carried Gu Qing Shan's corpse on his back, and climbed up the mound.
Not too far behind them, the giant monster that looked like a dark cloud was quickly catching up to them.
"Hoh … hoh … benefactor Gu, we're here"
Zhao Xiao Seng placed Gu Qing Shan's corpse on top of the mound and breathed heavily.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
He nodded to Zhao Xiao Seng: "You've worked hard, leave the rest to me"
Saying so, he dispelled [Beckoning Moon].
Zhao Xiao Seng instantly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan sat on top of the mound, silently watching the monster get closer and closer.
His head tilted, fell down on top of the mound, and died again.
Instantly, a flash of light appeared.
The entire world went away.
At the very last moment, the monster stopped and didn't give chase.
A strange expression appeared on its ugly face.
All of a sudden, the monster also disappeared.
…
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
He sat up on top of the mound and looked around.
The tombstones were everywhere.
Countless knocking sounds could be heard from inside the mound.
"Summon me"
"Summon me"
"Summon me"
Voices of desire resounded from inside the mound.
Right, this is a graveyard.
The Main World.
I've returned!
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and stood up from the mound.
"Finally, I can leave this place"
He muttered in a low voice.
As soon as he said so, he couldn't help but open his mouth and speak with another voice: "That's right, I've been trapped here for countless years, I can finally leave this place"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan froze.
「 Ahahahaha! 」
The voice suddenly laughed in a frenzy and shook its head: 「 Pitiful one, did you forget? My soul has always been inside your body, when you left that Aspect Realm, I was also brought out with you 」
"… So that was what you were planning!" Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth and asked.
The voice triumphantly replied: 「 You only realized now? Back then, I couldn't bear the pain of the doomsday and surrendered to it. Immediately, I was trapped by the Six Paths Reincarnation and suppressed by the Delimitation Divine Sword. When the divine sword finally shattered, the Six Paths Reincarnation was reactivated. I thought I would be trapped in the tomb forever, but who knew you would appear. "
「 Now that I've escaped the Samsara's suppression, nothing can stop me anymore 」
An indescribable presence exuded from Gu Qing Shan's body, as if it was the [Dread Palace]'s Apocalypse, cold, absurd, and full of terror.
「 I've been waiting for this moment … for too long … 」 the voice spoke.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I will stop you"
The voice chuckled: 「 I am the Samsara's past, the present Apocalypse, and your every move is within my calculations — — - die now! 」
A tsunami-like rumbling sound came from his body.
Countless wisps of black smoke rose from Gu Qing Shan's body to the sky, manifesting as an endless city in the sky.
— — -other than that small town, there were even more cities, gloomier mountains, rivers, oceans, and countless terrifying monsters!
A figure stood in front of all of these scenes, turning into a black shadow.
— — the Samsara's General of War!
It looked down at the graveyard on the ground, then focused its gaze on Gu Qing Shan.
「 Mortal, I will take over your body, then lead the [Dread Army] to turn the entire Samsara into my weapon! 」
It leapt down, turned into a boundless black shadow, and howled as it charged towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the graveyard, blankly watching this.
In the blink of an eye, the black shadow had already enveloped him and was absorbed into his body.
「 Die … now … 」
The Samsara War General finally declared.
Gu Qing Shan's breathing stopped.
He was dead.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes and stood up from the graveyard.
He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
"… Although I'm only a mortal, I've finally escaped the Samsara's restraints"
"My recovery came at the perfect time — — - right now, all the Saint Chosens are suppressed, I can kill them all!"
He excitedly declared.
In the sky, the countless [Dread Palace] once again turned into black fog, continuously descended, and entered his body through his back.
A total of 15 minutes later.
The entire Apocalypse had escaped the Samsara's restraints and was absorbed into Gu Qing Shan's body.
Gu Qing Shan's body continued to transform and turned into a muscular man.
"Finally, I can return to my original appearance"
The man muttered and raised his foot — — -
Boom!
With this stomp, the entire graveyard was flattened to the ground.
"From now on, I am the [Apocalypse Sequence – Dread Palace]" the man declared.
His voice echoed far away.
Silence. The voices from the graveyard had also disappeared, as if they were afraid of him.
The man scornfully glanced through the graveyard and scoffed.
As he was about to leave, his expression changed and stood still.
"What … is this?"
The man stared closely at the void of space. Lines of crimson text quickly appeared:
[You've completely sealed the [Apocalypse Sequence – Dread Palace] into your body]
[You've fulfilled the requirements of the highest order]
[All relevant procedures have been completed]
"Devour!"
A bright crimson glow suddenly erupted from the man's body.
"What … what is this?"
The man exclaimed in shock.
He abruptly fell to the ground and uttered a scream that went beyond the realm of pain.
Layers of dark shadows fell from his body, trying to burrow into the ground, but were enveloped by the crimson glow and couldn't move at all.
"Aaaargh, I've clearly become an Apocalypse!"
"I am an Apocalypse!"
"Even the Samsara couldn't kill me, why …"
The man roared in unwillingness. Like a wax statue, his body slowly melted and returned to Gu Qing Shan's appearance.
The shadows of the [Dread Palace] slowly melted away within the crimson glow and disappeared without a trace.
At a certain point.
The man's desperate screams completely disappeared.
Only Gu Qing Shan remained standing in the graveyard.
Gu Qing Shan opened her eyes with a complicated expression.
— — -this monster that had lived for countless years didn't even understand how it died.
Countless years ago, in order to survive, it didn't hesitate to fuse with the Apocalypse and walk the path of destruction.
How regretful.
It could only turn into pure Apocalyptic power and be devoured by the highest order.
Gu Qing Shan muttered:
"No, you're not an Apocalypse, I am"
Lines of crimson text hovered in the void of space in front of him:
[Devouring complete]
[This Sequence has obtained a certain amount of power]
[After a countdown of ten seconds, a portion of the Sequence's power will be restored]
[Ten]
[Nine]
[Eight]
