Gu Qing Shan looked up at the sky.
Yu Feng had returned to the Era of the Demon Emperor civilization.
Following this, the third [One Person Ten Thousand Lives] would appear.
Once the three techniques fuse and summon the Demon Emperor, will it devour all the Sequences?
Or will it devour all the puppet civilizations?
While pondering, Gu Qing Shan ordered his Sequences to pass through the world barrier.
"Stay alert, don't run into the Dragon race or the Apocalypse in the next world"
He loudly reminded them.
Recalling what happened just now, everyone nodded in agreement.
But for the rest of their journey, there were no Dragons blocking their way, nor were there any Apocalypses.
— — – Dragon God would definitely no longer have any conflict with the Era of the Demon Emperor. As for the Apocalypse army, no one knows what they're planning.
Everything went surprisingly smoothly.
Gu Qing Shan led everyone forward, quickly passing through one world barrier after another.
Until civilization world No.5.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan and Shi Zhi entered this world, they were shocked by the people around them.
— — -there were too many people.
"I think … all the high-ranking Sequences are here" Shi Zhi's eyes flickered.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and turned to the War Order.
Lines of notification appeared on the War Order UI:
[Elite Major Li Jiu, you've successfully led your subordinates to world No.5. According to your performance in defeating the Apocalypse, combined with your commanding performance along the way, your military rank has been promoted:]
[You've been promoted to Senior Colonel]
[You've obtained more commanding authority, corresponding resources, and treatment]
Gu Qing Shan narrowed his eyes.
Jumping from Major to Senior Colonel …
Why do I feel like the War Order is even more impatient than I am?
He discreetly glanced at the backstage.
At the backstage, the people in charge of him had already completed the necessary procedures.
One of them shook his head: "The higher-ups are too impatient, at this rate, there won't be enough time to properly groom a qualified officer"
Another person said: "Groom? Haven't you noticed? All the Generals have already fused their techniques, and quite a few high-ranking officers of the various Sequences have been lost. It's already too late, so the higher-ups can only promote some of them to Senior Colonel "
The first person sighed and said, "That's true, only a senior colonel can …"
They looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
Gu Qing Shan was confused and didn't know what they were talking about.
In short, the rank of senior colonel seemed to be some kind of threshold.
I don't know if it's good or bad.
If there really was danger, he could just undo All Beings Equal and return to his original identity.
With a plan in mind, Gu Qing Shan withdrew her gaze and said to the Sequences around her, "Alright, let's rest here and see what the Sequence interface says next."
Everyone began to rest.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the War Order interface and saw new lines of notifications appearing.
"Everyone, pay attention immediately!"
"Civilization World No.5 has been completely destroyed. What is occupying this world now is a rather powerful Apocalypse."
"If anyone can break through the blockade of this apocalypse and arrive at Civilization World No. 4, they will be rewarded handsomely!"
The Sequencers were in an uproar.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized. No wonder so many people were gathered here, it was because none of them could make it through.
He released his inner sight to look afar.
Only to see that the Sequencers were standing on an empty stone platform.
Past the stone platform, there was only rolling yellow sand.
— — -the desert.
Within the sandstorm, nothing could be seen clearly, and even inner sight couldn't penetrate it.
A line of text appeared on the War Order UI:
[Everyone, prepare to activate]
[Three]
[Two]
"One!"
Gu Qing Shan nodded to Shi Zhi and said: "Let's go"
Shi Zhi was a bit hesitant.
After all, the Apocalypse ahead was unknown, and it was able to stop everyone.
"I just found out something, those who tried to travel through the Apocalypse are all dead" Shi Zhi whispered.
"Do you think you can survive just by standing here? Would the Sequences let those cowards go? "Gu Qing Shan also whispered.
Shiki instantly fell silent.
"Let's go" Gu Qing Shan leapt forward and took the lead to fly into the yellow sand.
Shi Zhi didn't hesitate any longer and followed behind.
As they took the lead, the others quickly followed.
At once, the group began to move.
Fewer and fewer people remained on the stone platform.
Eventually, about 60% of the Sequencers left the stone platform.
The rest of the Sequencers remained standing on the stone platform, maintaining their posture of observing.
Although they said they were observing, the yellow sand had actually blocked out everything, making it impossible to see anything.
— — -these people simply didn't want to risk their lives to move forward.
Time slowly passed.
The Sequencers on the stone platform slowly calmed down.
"Forget it. I think we should just wait here," someone said.
"Indeed, I've already obtained quite a bit of Merit this time, enough to increase my strength by a level, I won't join in the fun" someone else said.
"Not to mention, the Sequences didn't force us to enter the Apocalypse" someone else added.
All of a sudden.
A notification appeared on everyone's Sequence UI:
[Machine 1, Machine 2, and Machine 3 have begun to absorb energy]
Everyone was surprised.
"What does that mean?" someone asked in surprise.
Suddenly, everyone around him uttered a series of painful screams.
"You — — -"
As he was about to say something, he couldn't help but scream the same way.
Boom!
The Sequencers on the stone platform all turned into clusters of light, some bright, some dark, and disappeared into the sky.
In the desert.
Gu Qing Shan was surrounded by boundless yellow sand, when a line of crimson text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
[All eliminated personnel have been converted, the Three Paths of Ten Thousand Lives technique will begin to recharge Demon Emperor]
He glanced at the backstage, only to see the people from the Era of Demon Emperor beginning to busy themselves.
One of the backstage operators scoffed: "The more crucial the situation, the more they don't listen to orders — — - even if they're Generals, they can only be used as energy"
Another backstage operator finished what he was doing and sighed in relief: "It's done, all the Sequencers who were staying on the stone platform and didn't dare to move forward have finished their conversion"
It seems the situation is getting more and more dangerous. The Era of War had directly given up on a large number of people just to activate Demon Emperor.
— — -even if they were already facing an extreme lack of manpower.
Gu Qing Shan silently retracted his gaze and glanced at the War Sequence UI.
The UI slowly dimmed and turned grey.
— — -the War Sequence UI has been blocked again!
This isn't good, from the information we received, the Era of Demon Emperor isn't a match for the Apocalypse at all.
"The UI isn't working again" Shi Zhi commented.
"That's right, it's fine, this isn't the first time anyway, let's continue" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them continued to fly forward against the yellow sand.
A few moments later.
Shi Zhi couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is going on with this Apocalypse? We've already been moving for a while, why hasn't anything happened?"
There was no response.
She abruptly turned around, only to find that at some unknown point, Gu Qing Shan had already disappeared.
Shi Zhi stopped and drew her two bone blades.
She cautiously looked around and muttered: "Li Jiu?"
— — still no response.
But all the yellow sand around her had suddenly vanished, replaced by a boundless crimson sea of blood.
A white-haired woman stood in the middle of the sea of blood, carefully observing her.
The woman had a beautiful appearance, but an indescribable demonic aura exuded from her, causing anyone who saw her to feel fearful.
Shi Zhi stayed silent for a few moments, faintly feeling that she wasn't facing a woman, but rather a Demon King who had destroyed billions of living beings and worlds.
"Who are you?"
Shi Zhi used her twin blades to protect herself and shouted threateningly.
The woman's expression was indifferent and didn't answer. She glanced at Shi Zhi a few more times and slowly smiled.
"You … were just lucky, not his type … fine, I won't kill you"
Saying so, the white-haired woman's figure flashed and disappeared from Shi Zhi's sight along with the entire sea of blood.
The world was spinning.
All the supernatural phenomena disappeared.
At the very next moment — —
Hoh!
Intense yellow sand came crashing down.
Shi Zhi found herself still standing in the middle of the desert, with no one around.
"Just now … what exactly happened?"
Shi Zhi muttered to herself.
Intense wind blew. She felt a chill on her back.
Shi Zhi touched her back with a complicated expression.
In just a few short moments, I'm already soaked in cold sweat.
At another location.
Not long after Gu Qing Shan flew, he noticed that Shi Zhi had already disappeared from his sight.
He also landed on the desert and stood still.
"Who was it? You can come out now "he muttered.
The wind and sand were all gone.
Light and shadows flickered around.
A world suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
Countless screams, screams, cries, and explosions filled the air.
Gu Qing Shan glanced around and recognized that this was a battlefield.
Ooo — — -
The desolate sound of a horn resounded.
At the edge of the battlefield, an orderly squad of horsemen entered the battlefield.
Several thousand horsemen arrived in front of Gu Qing Shan, lined up, and formed a battle formation that could be used to charge.
A corpse covered in will-o '-the-wisps was riding on a skeletal horse, pointing its sword at Gu Qing Shan.
"It's time to settle our debt"
The corpse said.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, finally recalling this scene from Li Jiu's memories.
In the past, Li Jiu had defeated an invading enemy army.
And now, the Apocalypse had once again displayed that army in front of Li Jiu.
— — and it was several hundred times stronger, even more powerful than Li Jiu!
Gu Qing Shan looked around at the horsemen full of fighting spirit and silently sighed in relief.
That's good.
Thanks to [Beings Equal], I only need to face a horseman that's countless times stronger than before, instead of that monster from before.
If that monster had become countless times stronger, it would've been troublesome …
Gu Qing Shan put on the Thunder Fury Gauntlet, randomly picked up a damaged armor from the ground and put it on, mimicking Li Jiu's tone and started chanting:
"Ah, so it's you — — - take your revenge, take your revenge. If I, Li Jiu, even blinked, I wouldn't be the captain that killed you all back then!"
The leader of the horsemen shouted: "Charge! Kill Li Jiu! "
"Charge!"
The horsemen all shouted in unison.
Dust and smoke rose from the battlefield.
The horsemen charged straight towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan focused her gaze and waited.
All of a sudden — — -
At the far edge of the battlefield, the crowd scattered and broke out into a clamor.
A tyrannical male voice resounded from afar:
「 How strange … I was summoned to kill an unknown piece of trash while I was in the Eternal Destruction Ruins 」
Another high-pitched female voice resounded:
「 Then what can we do? We can only talk after killing him 」
The male and female voices fused into one to produce an eerie voice:
「 Li Jiu, are you prepared to die? No, your soul shall be devoured by me, there won't even be a chance for you to die 」
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes, then opened them again.
The Soul Shrieker.
Its strength had been increased by several dozen times.
— — -what kind of Apocalypse is this!? Even it had been found.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered:
"You trash monsters must've come to the wrong place, I don't even know you"
