"You won't be able to see your family right away" Yu Feng said.
"But I'm willing to work hard for this" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"You will have to spend a long time to increase your strength and become a General as soon as possible, only then can you return home" Yu Feng said.
"I'm willing to give up everything for this" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Yu Feng looked at him with an expression of approval: "A person who has forgotten the past is not worthy of becoming my comrade, very good"
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change and said: "Let me join the Demon Emperor civilization, General"
Yu Feng slowly nodded, turned around, and began to check the Sequence UI.
After reading through all of Li Jiu's information, he reported to the void of space:
"War Sequence, General, Yu Feng reporting — — -"
"I recommend Second Lieutenant Li Jiu to join the civilization"
"Please make your decision"
The War Sequence UI fell silent.
A few moments later.
Lines of text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[Congratulations]
[You have officially joined the Demon Emperor civilization]
[From now on, you will receive the full support of the civilization]
[Number 1: Immediately promoted to Elite Major]
[Number 2: You will receive a single chance to return to the civilization barrier, avoiding the fate of your body and soul being destroyed]
[Number 3: You will receive a unique weapon from the Demon Emperor civilization]
From the void of space, boundless power poured into Gu Qing Shan's body.
The power fluctuations around Gu Qing Shan's body became stronger and stronger, directly breaking through several ranks, pulling him towards an even more powerful direction.
"Aaaargh — — -"
Gu Qing Shan uttered a furious roar.
In an extremely short amount of time, his strength had already reached the rank of Major.
So direct, simple, violent, and fast — — -
This was the power of one person, ten thousand lives.
This was the power of countless living beings gathered on a single person!
"I can feel it … power"
Gu Qing Shan mimicked Li Jiu's actions and uttered a low roar.
This power — — -
In fact, to the Demon Emperor Era, this was nothing. Even if they were a hundred times stronger, Gu Qing Shan reckoned that they would still be able to produce it.
God knows how many Puppet Planets they had enslaved.
This was actually a screening mechanism.
No matter how powerful the power was, if there was no suitable person to use it, then the power was equivalent to an ownerless object.
What the Demon Emperor era did was to select the most suitable person from the countless Sequencers.
— to be used as their weapons.
"You've become an elite major."
"You have obtained one 'return' call authority."
[Your weapon has been activated. Beginning teleportation —]
The space in front of Gu Qing Shan moved, and a thin black leather glove was floating in the air.
He gripped the boxing gloves.
Instantly, lines of small words appeared on both interfaces at the same time.
"You've obtained a boxing glove: Thunder's Fury."
[This gauntlet has the following abilities:]
[Lightning Surge: Your attacks may open a Lightning Phase Realm, summoning living beings of Lightning from within to fight for you]
[Lightning Form: You will be able to sense any attacks aimed at you, even if they hit you in the end, a portion of them will first be neutralized by the Lightning]
[Lord of Lightning: All Lightning attacks you unleash will not affect you at all, in addition, their power will be increased by 30%]
This boxing glove is quite good!
Gu Qing Shan put it on, thinking that with the [Lord of Lightning] ability, I won't need to dance anymore whenever I unleash my Lightning abilities.
"General Yu, is that all done?" he asked.
"Of course, we're currently in a time of war, so everything is simple, we still need to hurry to world # 3" Yu Feng replied.
"Very well, I'm at your service" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Yu Feng quickly operated the War Order UI and said: "Time is indeed a bit tight, I'll call them over now"
"Understood" Gu Qing Shan replied.
…
A few moments later.
Everyone had arrived at the mountain, looking at the burning world in the valley.
"General, is that where the destroyed Phase World is?" someone asked.
"Indeed, we didn't manage to find any valuable information, in short, this place seems to only allow entry, after entering, we must keep moving forward, no retreating" Yu Feng replied.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the crowd, only to see Shi Zhi standing behind everyone else, wearing a black cloak.
She nodded to him, took a few steps back and disappeared into the void of space.
Her voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's ears:
"From now on, I'll hide in your shadow, ready to support you at any time"
Gu Qing Shan felt someone lightly tapping his shoulder.
He looked to his side, but didn't see anyone.
Instead, the shadow on the ground waved at him.
— — -this [Shadow Concealment] technique is quite good.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the description on the Highest Order UI and smiled.
At this point, Yu Feng made a gesture and shouted: "Everyone, move out!"
Everyone instantly formed a formation, following behind him and Gu Qing Shan, flying towards the burning figure.
…
In the darkness, the light from the flames illuminated everyone's figures.
Yu Feng and Gu Qing Shan stood at the very front, looking forward together.
"This is a city" Yu Feng said.
"There's no sound of any living beings — – so we're going to travel through this city?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That should be it"
"Seems like it won't be easy …"
In front of their eyes, a burning city was giving rise to billowing smoke and dust that reached all the way to the sky.
The city was surrounded by a tidal wave of black seawater that stretched as far as the eye could see, and no one knew where it led to.
In the entire Phase World, besides the black seawater, there was only this burning city.
While everyone was preparing to move, they noticed some commotion at the entrance of the city.
A cluster of flames floated down, landing at the entrance of the city, turning into a burning black metal coffin.
"How troublesome, to stop you Sequences, even I have to personally go" a voice came from the coffin.
Without saying anything, Yu Feng drew a long rod and swung it — — -
Countless tiny wind blades flew out from the tip of the rod like birds, heading straight for the black metal coffin.
They went straight through the coffin and headed straight for the city.
"Everyone be careful, this coffin is only an illusion" Yu Feng shouted.
"You call it an illusion just because you can't hit it? Fine, do whatever you want, you're about to be destroyed anyways "the burning coffin mocked them.
The scenery around them shook.
In the next split second.
Everyone found themselves standing in the middle of the burning city.
The temperature around them suddenly rose.
The coffin disappeared.
Its voice resounded all around them: "Welcome to the Ash Apocalypse, you will be separated here, then die separately"
"I wish you pain, fear, and despair"
The voice disappeared.
Everyone was a bit nervous, silently stood still and prepared themselves.
Time slowly passed.
After a while, nothing happened.
"That guy just now was very dangerous — – all of you stay on guard, I'll go take a look" Yu Feng ordered.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded and heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
Yu Feng was the strongest person here.
Him leading this group forward didn't actually benefit him at all, it was only to help everyone reach civilization world # 3 as soon as possible.
Having him personally investigate was the safest thing to do.
Yu Feng took a few steps forward, stopped in front of a street sign and looked up.
The sign was on fire, but it wasn't destroyed.
The signs of each road were clearly displayed in front of him.
"I think if we're going to take the main road, we should take the middle road"
Yu Feng muttered to himself as he walked towards the middle road.
Suddenly.
The entire road was covered in flames, turning into layers of world light that enveloped him.
The light flickered and went with the wind.
Yu Feng was gone.
Everyone was stunned, then quickly shouted: "General Yu!"
The street was empty, only the flames were burning everywhere, letting out crackling noises.
— — – Yu Feng was completely gone.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered and shouted: "Everyone be careful, the Apocalypse here seems to be triggered"
Suddenly, a Sequence Enforcer shouted, "No! General Yu is gone, we need to run! "
He turned around and ran towards the city gate behind him.
A ball of flames surged out from the ground, bringing with it endless light and shadow as it wrapped around him.
— — -from the look of it, he had entered another world.
At the very next moment, he disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze turned grim.
Seems like the rule here is that you can't move, as you'll be trapped somewhere else if you do.
"What now?" Shizhi asked.
"The voice just now said that our group will split up here — — I don't know if it's telling the truth or not" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
At this point, a notification appeared on the War Order UI:
[Attention!]
[General Yu Feng did not die]
[This Apocalypse must be broken through on your own, you cannot borrow the power of others]
[When you move, the Ash Apocalypse will be triggered]
[By defeating it, you'll be able to leave the current Apocalypse and reach the next world!]
Everyone saw these notifications.
The General didn't die.
They now understood the basic situation of the Apocalypse.
— — -there's no need to be afraid of difficulties, only fear of not knowing what's going on.
Everyone calmed themselves down. After that, someone took the initiative to move forward.
Since they couldn't rely on the power of the group, they could only try it themselves.
"I'll be leaving first, see you in the next world"
Shizhi's voice resounded.
"Wait a moment" Gu Qing Shan said.
A gust of wind blew past.
Shizhi turned into a shadow and flew forward with the wind.
At the very next moment, she flew back and turned into a shadow next to Gu Qing Shan.
"Is there anything else? The Sequence already said that this place must be broken through on your own, do you have anything else you want to say to me? "Shizhi teased her.
Gu Qing Shan smiled, thinking to herself, wasn't the Sequence created by a group of people after all?
Not everything it says is correct.
Those guys from the Demon Emperor era are probably doing their best to analyze the current situation right now.
— — -actually, I can also do this.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, thought for a bit, then opened the UI and said: "I want to exchange"
Lines of glowing text appeared on the UI:
"Major, you have 288,000 points."
[Please state what you want to exchange]
Gu Qing Shan gestured with her hands: "Is there anything like a surveying device? I want to survey this place and get a map"
The void of space shifted.
A small metallic sphere appeared in his hand.
"Thirty points have been redeemed."
[This is a world mapping device, toss it up and it will measure the entire world's map]
Gu Qing Shan then tossed the metallic sphere into the air — — -
In a split second, a flash of light erupted from the metallic sphere and quickly spread in every direction.
[Ting]!
[Obtained map]
A panoramic map appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
He seriously looked at it and muttered: "Ah … since the entrance was the front gate, then logically speaking, I should be able to leave after reaching the back of the city"
He stood still and reached out his hand to catch the metal ball.
"The map might not be useful, and the back gate might not be able to leave" Shizhi said.
"That's right — — but did you notice, this metallic sphere of mine flew up so high and fell back down, but it didn't get caught up in the Apocalypse" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Shizhi's eyes lit up and spoke to the UI: "Please exchange for a combat robot for me"
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand dismissively: "Don't, combat robots are too expensive, just give me a few to scout the way, but make sure to install a teleportation device so that when it reaches the back gate, it'll be able to teleport us there" Gu Qing Shan said.
Very quickly, a surveillance robot appeared in front of everyone.
"Go to the marked location on the map" Gu Qing Shan said.
The robot took to the sky and quickly flew towards the back gate of the city.
A few moments later.
The robot arrived at the back gate.
"Are we going to teleport there?" Shizhi asked.
"— — Let's see if it's safe first" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"How do we do that?" Shizhi looked at the other Sequences, causing them to shrink back in fear.
"Sequence, I want to exchange for a living creature"
[What do you want?] a line of text appeared on the UI.
"Give me an ant" Gu Qing Shan said.
Very quickly, the ant was in his hand.
The ant was teleported away — — -
The ant arrived safely!
The ant didn't die!
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "That won't do, this ant doesn't carry a Sequence, perhaps the Apocalypse only deals with creatures with a Sequence — — – Sequence, give me an ant with the [War Order] installed"
"… There's no such ant, you'll need to wait a bit"
A few moments later.
An ant with the [War Order] installed appeared in his hand.
The ant was teleported away!
The ant still didn't die!
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and muttered: "Seems like I can give it a try, the worst that can happen is just like General Yu and the others, directly entering that Apocalypse …"
All of a sudden, a gust of burning wind blew in from all directions.
The burning coffin from before suddenly appeared and roared in a furious voice:
「 Despicable mortal … your attempts will not change anything, your fates have already been decided! 」
Instantly, a line of crimson text appeared on the UI:
[The controller of the Apocalypse has changed the Law of Ash]
[From now on, no matter what you do, you will be sucked into the Apocalypse]
[Attention, the Law of the Apocalypse has been changed, causing the Apocalypse's power to weaken]
[You can now bring a party member to face the Apocalypse together]
Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through it.
— — alright, the attempt just now was a bit useful.
But there were some things that needed to be said.
He glared at the burning coffin and spoke in annoyance: "I hate things like you the most, acting all high and mighty, only to resort to cheating as soon as you realize you can't win — — what scum of the Apocalypse!"
At the very next moment, he and Shi Zhi were both sucked into the flames.
The only thing left in the city was the flames.
All the Sequences had disappeared.
