The Awaitings stood in a circle around Gu Qing Shan.
They were chanting an incantation in a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
The light of the entire world began to flow. Everything became unreal.
From the void of space, a line of crimson text appeared:
[Attention]
[A temporary Aspect World passage is being created]
[This is a Aspect World with a Secret Key, without the invitation of a specific person, you will not be able to enter]
[Everything regarding this Aspect World will not be revealed]
[As soon as you leave this Aspect World, this passage will immediately disappear]
Reading through these notifications, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a bit anxious.
— — the Awaitings are able to fight against the leaders of the [War Order], even banishing them into the dreamscape.
Despite having such power, they still had to temporarily create a passage to a Aspect World with a Secret Key — — -
Only then would they dare to say anything to me.
This is a deep sense of dread.
What are they afraid of?
Gu Qing Shan was completely clueless.
Perhaps noticing his anxiety, the Dragon Ancestor abruptly stopped his incantation and spoke:
「 Don't be anxious, I'll tell you the secret in a bit 」
After saying so, he smiled.
Gu Qing Shan nodded to express that he understood.
But how could he relax?
These Awaitings passed through the boundless void of space and finally arrived at the gate of the four Saint Pillars.
They had been slumbering for countless years, imitating the power of Chaos to create a low-level Apocalypse sequence, then fused with the Apocalypse sequence.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized that this group of people must hold a unique secret …
— — -secret!
Within the boundless void of space, this word seemed to carry unnatural magic.
Powerful entities desired to obtain it in order to understand the truth behind the world.
While weak entities wouldn't even dare to hear it.
What is the secret of the Awaitings?
Gu Qing Shan waited for a few moments.
Everything around him disappeared.
Emptiness.
Emptiness.
Only emptiness remained in the world.
The Awaitings were still surrounding him, standing in the void of space.
The Dragon Ancestor took a step forward and placed his hand into the void of space.
Suddenly, a door appeared in front of him.
The Dragon Ancestor gently held the door handle with his hand and muttered to himself, "Back then, in a certain Void Gate, there was a bar called 'Mountain'. It wasn't bad. The girls there were all very romantic, and the alcohol was strong enough. The only thing that wasn't good was that it was too expensive."
"But their service is also excellent. You can indeed avoid all eyes and ears. You are very relaxed there, and you don't even have to worry —"
His words suddenly stopped.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a breath. The Dragon Ancestor seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past, as if he was afraid of something.
The Dragon Ancestor still did not speak.
"Is there anything you want to tell me in advance?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
Only then did the Dragon Ancestor fall into a daze. He said, "The matter that I want to talk about … Actually, you need to observe carefully. Then, you need to discover that something is amiss. You need to comprehend the secrets contained within. Other than normal words, I can't give you any hints."
"This is an extremely important rule."
Gu Qing Shan was startled for a few breaths before she gradually understood.
The secret is in the bar.
The Dragon Ancestor could not say anything.
I need to find this secret.
"Do you understand?" the Dragon Ancestor asked.
"I do" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well, I knew you could do it. Now, let us go to the bar called 'Mountain'"
While saying so, the Dragon Ancestor lightly turned the door handle.
Creak!
The door opened a bit, faintly audible sounds could be heard.
— — -soft music, the sound of glasses clinking, whispers, as well as the faint sound of a woman's laughter.
At the same time, all the Awaitings appeared unprecedentedly serious.
They turned around, turned their backs to the Dragon Ancestor and Gu Qing Shan, and solemnly observed their surroundings.
Even though their surroundings were completely empty, they were still solemnly waiting for something.
Various incantations were being chanted from their mouths.
Gu Qing Shan noticed that they were chanting their incantations even faster.
The golem with a mohawk hairstyle nodded to Gu Qing Shan and said: "Don't worry, we will stand guard here and not allow He Ling to enter"
Gu Qing Shan then turned to Fusi.
Fusi took out an hourglass and stared at it for a bit.
"— — -this is a good sign, the timeline has not been disturbed" she said.
Hearing that, Shen Ji placed the hammer in his hand vertically on the ground and let go, allowing it to stand on its own without moving.
"The Causality Law is normal, other than us, no other entities have participated" Shen Ji observed and said.
The eight-armed giant sat down and slowly turned into a statue.
An incense stick appeared in front of it.
The incense stick had been lit.
The sickly man crouched down and looked at the incense stick: "From now on, all entities of the 10 worlds are to ignore this corner — — after they enter, leave the matter of the Space to me"
The Dragon Ancestor made his decision: "The rest of you will be responsible for combat and support, I will bring Gu Qing Shan inside"
Everyone silently nodded.
Gu Qing Shan became even more anxious.
A person like him had been able to remain calm through countless battles, but at this very moment, his spirit sense was constantly reminding him of something — — -
A completely unknown event was about to occur.
Seeing that everything was prepared, the Dragon Ancestor waved his hand at Gu Qing Shan and solemnly told her again:
"After we enter, you cannot say a single word. If you do, our secret will not be able to be kept, and I will immediately destroy this world passage, got it?"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
"Remember, you must observe carefully. I know that a person like you would definitely be able to notice something amiss" the Dragon Ancestor patted his shoulder, but his eyes showed a bit of worry.
"I'll do my best" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well, now that it's come to this — —"
The Dragon Ancestor took a deep breath, lightly opened the door, and whispered: "Follow me closely"
Gu Qing Shan followed behind him.
The two of them entered the door together.
"Welcome, are you two?"
"Please give us a quiet spot" the Dragon Ancestor said.
"Very well, please follow me"
Crack — — -
The door closed behind them.
In the empty world outside, the Awaitings continued to chant their incantations.
The hourglass slowly fell.
The hammer stood still.
The stick of incense burned silently. The sickly man held a lighter in his hand and silently stood guard at the side.
— — -the Awaitings.
They carefully observed the empty world and guarded the door.
…
Gu Qing Shan followed the Dragon Ancestor through the bar, finally being led to a booth by a waiter.
The two of them sat down.
"What would you like to drink?" the waiter asked Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan kept the Dragon Ancestor's instructions in mind, so she didn't say anything and simply looked at the Dragon Ancestor.
"The strongest liquor you have here, no ice, two glasses"
The Dragon Ancestor said.
He placed two strange round coins on the table.
The waiter took a look and smiled: "Just in time to pay up, please wait a moment"
The waiter politely nodded to the two of them, then left.
The Dragon Ancestor took out a cigar from his chest, lit it, and took a deep puff.
"The environment here is quite nice"
He put both hands on the table, nervously shook his legs, then gave Gu Qing Shan a look.
— — -let's begin, find that special place.
Gu Qing Shan naturally understood what he meant and looked around.
The entire bar was dark, other than the direction of the bar counter, the rest of the place was shrouded in a black fog that couldn't be seen clearly.
This was most likely a form of confidentiality so that the customers could freely communicate without worrying about what they were talking about being leaked.
There were many candles lit on the bar counter, illuminating the neat rows of liquor bottles as well as the glittering glasses.
"Here's your wine."
The waiter took two glasses of liquor from the tray and placed them in front of Gu Qing Shan and the Dragon Ancestor.
"This is the first time this customer has come here, so we've specially given you this coin as a gift. You're welcome to come again when you have time"
The waiter placed a triangular coin in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and nodded to the waiter.
The waiter answered in a low voice: "Within the endless void gate, our 'Mountain' Bar has always enjoyed a great reputation — — - only our bar is a place of absolute secrecy and safety. You can enjoy absolute freedom here and rest in peace for a while"
Gu Qing Shan nodded seriously, expressing that she understood.
The waiter smiled at him and turned to leave.
The Dragon Ancestor breathed out a mouthful of smoke, raised his glass, and took a sip.
He sat there as if nothing was wrong, but occasionally glanced at Gu Qing Shan.
— — -he's also very nervous.
This thought appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
In the end …
What's wrong with this place?
He took a sip of liquor and began to carefully observe the entire bar.
A few minutes later.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and took another sip.
What exactly is wrong?
As a person who loves to drink, I've been to countless bars, but I couldn't find anything wrong with this bar.
His gaze passed through the Dragon Ancestor's face.
The Dragon Ancestor held a cigar in his mouth, a glass of liquor in his hand, and a relaxed expression on his face.
But the Dragon Ancestor had maintained this posture and expression for a few minutes already.
Sensing his nervousness, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but silently sigh.
What exactly is wrong?
He carefully observed the entire bar again.
— — still couldn't find anything.
That's strange, if there was something wrong, it would have been easily noticed.
Anyone who can come here is most likely not a normal person.
Could it be that only the Dragon Ancestor and the others noticed something wrong?
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought. While thinking, she picked up the triangular coin from the table.
On the front of the coin was a tightly shut door.
Flipping it.
On the back of the coin were three lines of constantly changing text.
When Gu Qing Shan saw this line of text, the text turned into human common language:
[The only secret underground bar in the infinite worlds]
[Here, you will no longer be spied on or controlled]
[— — -This bar opened on the day the True Ancient Sacred Realm was born]
Gu Qing Shan silently stared at these three lines of text.
Secrecy.
Freedom from spying and control.
Secrecy was the foundation, freedom from spying and control was even further.
The main point was secrecy.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze moved down to the last line of text.
[— — -This bar opened on the day the True Ancient Sacred Realm was born]
The Saint Realm …
Gu Qing Shan immediately recalled the gigantic blood-red pillar that connected heaven and earth, as well as the unknown entity hidden within the Saint Realm that looked down at the Samsara Clash for Supremacy.
— — the True Ancient Demon, the overseer of infinite worlds.
Overseer huh …
Gu Qing Shan silently muttered in her mind and couldn't help but look up.
He saw a painting.
On the ceiling of the bar, there was a painting of an eye.
The eye was silently observing the entire bar below.
It was moving.
All of a sudden, it saw Gu Qing Shan.
[You've triggered a hidden Causality Law]
[You've discovered a secret portrait]
[Attention, you are currently being protected by a complete guardian ritual, this event will not cause any fatal damage to you, but you still need to be careful]
Instantly, everything around her seemed to have disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan found herself standing in the middle of a void filled with grey mist.
There was a bronze pillar in front of her.
A withered old man was trapped on the bronze pillar.
The old man had already lost his eyes, leaving only deep black holes in his eye sockets.
His hands, legs, as well as his neck were all locked down by decaying chains, unable to move.
— — -not a giant corpse!
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
Countless Cards hovered around the old man's body.
Each of the Cards depicted an entity — — -
From the Cards, it could be seen that these entities were currently in different environments, doing various things.
The old man muttered: "The [War Order] No.3 is a killing maniac, perfect for this task. I'll have him take a look at how long it will be before the Samsara reopens …"
A gloomy mass of light appeared around the old man's body and lightly touched a Card.
In an instant, the card disappeared.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan didn't even have time to digest the shock of what she saw before the Dragon Ancestor's hurried voice resounded in her ears:
"Go!"
Immediately, she felt as if a hand was pulling her — — -
The silence of the bar, as well as the light music and dancing, appeared for a split second, followed by the howling wind.
An intense explosion resounded from behind her.
A door abruptly appeared in front of her.
Gu Qing Shan felt herself being forcefully thrown out of the door by a hand.
Bam!
The door closed!
Gu Qing Shan stopped in the void of space, landed on the ground, and turned to look.
Only to see the Dragon Ancestor leaning against the door, sweating profusely, breathing heavily.
"The passage has been destroyed" he said.
Fusi came up and softly asked: "Did he see it?"
The Dragon Ancestor couldn't say anything and simply nodded.
All the Awaitings turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Shen Ji walked up, took his hand, and lightly hugged him.
"You've seen the truth of the [Echelon], Gu Qing Shan" she whispered.
A few thoughts flashed through Gu Qing Shan's mind. For some reason, he suddenly recalled the words of the [Echelon]
"— — Chaos is the greatest ultimate, true freedom. One day, you will understand the secret within"
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt like he was hallucinating. He felt like he was a speck of dust in the void of space.
— — -within the endless flow of history, he was nothing but a speck of dust that couldn't do anything about himself.
What is truth?
What is the limit of power?
Those truly monstrous entities that control everything in this world.
It was laughable that a bar thought that it could keep everyone's secrets.
Perhaps — — -
The existence of that bar itself was a place for those insignificant entities that were buried in the dust to have a private conversation.
For the true masterminds behind the scenes, they only needed to put up a portrait of an eye as a silent display of contempt and mockery.
Fusi's voice resounded from afar:
"It's fine, Gu Qing Shan, you've escaped from the portrait of history in that split second and left that bar. You're safe now, this is the site of the ritual to protect you, you can speak"
Gu Qing Shan forced himself to regain his calm and quickly replied: "Among all the [Echelons], only the Apocalypse is not under anyone's prying or control — — because behind it is Chaos"
"That's why you would rather risk death and slumber in order to enter the previous Reality Gate"
"You imitated [Worlds Apocalypse Online] because it belongs to the power of Chaos"
"It granted you freedom"
"Am I right?"
Everyone looked at him, not knowing what to say.
Deathly silence.
The Dragon Ancestor finally regained his senses and couldn't help but loudly praise:
"I already knew that this brat was a sharp one"
