An unfamiliar island.
At the edge of the island.
Gu Qing Shan stood here, looking outside.
— — -there was only endless fog outside, unable to see anything.
All of a sudden.
A gust of wind blew.
The fog slowly dispersed.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Gu Qing Shan saw a gigantic, glowing figure silently flying over from afar.
— — -in the blink of an eye. The fog closed up.
The strange thing disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a few moments, then sighed.
He sat down on a rock at the edge of the island, letting his legs dangle in the void of space outside.
"Sir"
A female voice came from behind him.
"Feather, what is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked without turning around.
"Someone has requested to enter our island" Feather's voice carried a clear sense of nervousness.
While Gu Qing Shan sat still, four faint glows appeared behind him.
Earth, Water, Fire, Wind.
Chaotic War God.
He glanced at the void of space in front of him and spoke: "It's not a monster"
Feather sighed in relief.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "It's an old friend, let him in"
"Got it" Feather disappeared.
A few moments later.
A man with a crimson rooster's comb, a body covered in feathers, and a pair of sunglasses appeared.
— — -Chicken Grandpa.
"Are you used to it?"
Chicken Grandpa sat down next to Gu Qing Shan and asked.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and replied: "The island has always been floating in the fog, I can't see anything else, nor can I leave, I really don't know how to get used to this kind of life"
Chicken Grandpa smiled and replied: "That's how the ruins of Chaos is, you'll get used to it sooner or later"
"What is it that required you to personally come here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm here to pass on a message"
"Who? What message? "
"The 'you' that belongs to living beings — — he called me through [Worlds Apocalypse Online] and told me to tell you something"
"Go ahead"
"This kind of secret can only be revealed in the Land of Eternal Destruction. After all, all secrets ultimately belong to the Land of Eternal Destruction."
Chicken Grandpa smiled, then continued: "He said — — 'Time is like a coin, it is round, and has two sides'"
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
In front of him, lines of glowing text quickly lit up.
"Attention!"
[Thanks to the power of the Boundary Stone, you were split into two identities: Apocalypse and Living Beings]
"At this moment, you who belong to all living beings are heading towards a certain moment in the past."
[Because his actions will cause a chain reaction in the entire space-time, you must make the following choice:]
"First: Completely cut off all connections with him and form two completely independent individuals. From then on, each of you will fight your own battles. You will not be disturbed by the other party, nor will you be able to affect the other party. This will ensure that both of you can use all the weapons, armors, and treasures that you have obtained.
"Second, keep in touch. This will establish a cause-and-effect in space-time. Everything he does will affect you, and your actions will affect him. But in this way, everything you have obtained will become the only thing that can be used by one of you. "
Gu Qing Shan quickly finished reading through.
A faint sound suddenly resounded in her ears.
Ting — —
A coin was tossed up, then fell back down into Chicken Grandpa's hand.
"Time is like a coin … this is such a profound secret, I'm guessing that the other 'you' also heard it from someone else — — do you understand now?" Chicken Grandpa asked.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "I think I know what's going on"
"I remember that you used the power of Primal Chaos to create two closed loops, guess which one of them you went to?" Chicken Grandpa asked.
"The first one" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Why not the second one?"
"The second one was the moment of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy. The closed loops contained the Samsara of the Samsara, so naturally there would be evil fiends — — - since I wanted to avoid the evil fiends and buy time, I naturally wouldn't choose this one"
"So I went to the first one"
"Indeed"
Chicken Grandpa nodded and sighed: "Impressive"
"That's something that's easy to guess" Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
Chicken Grandpa went silent briefly, then said: "I'll be leaving first, I'll come find you if there's any news"
"Wait a minute"
"What is it?"
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "This island that belongs to [Worlds Apocalypse Online – Feather] is just going to float around like this?"
Chicken Grandpa replied: "You should be glad that's the case"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Why is that?"
"The Ruins of Eternal Destruction … is so vast that it contains everything from the past. There would naturally be incomparably terrifying entities within, as well as countless strange and unusual existences, as well as the enemies of you and the previous Eras — — - while your Apocalypse Island had only just been created, it had yet to enter the depths of Eternal Destruction, so it had yet to run into those things"
Chicken Grandpa stood up and clapped his hands: "Do your best, obtain enough power of Primal Chaos to strengthen your Apocalypse civilization, until — — -"
"Until?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Until you have enough power to face those terrifying entities"
After saying so, Chicken Grandpa took to the sky, parted the layers of dark fog, and went into the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan stood at the edge of the island, watching as it turned into a streak of light and fell into the endless void, disappearing without a trace.
"Tch … I'm being looked down upon" Gu Qing Shan crossed her arms and said.
He looked into the void of space, thought for a few moments, then spoke:
"I choose the second option"
A line of glowing text quickly appeared:
[Attention!]
[You have formed a connection with the other you, using the power of the Two World Stone, a Causality Link will be formed between the two of you, your actions will affect the other]
[Please begin choosing from your possessions immediately.]
[Keep in mind, whatever you take, he will lose]
After the glowing text finished displaying, it quickly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then pondered: "To ensure that nothing goes wrong with the entire timeline … Heaven, Earth, Chao Yin, and Shannu all have to go"
The four flying swords behind him disappeared into the void of space, disappearing without a trace.
"As for the armor — — both the True Ancient Demon King Armor and the Black Heavenly Raiment are too eye-catching, they might cause some trouble, so I'll keep them"
As soon as Gu Qing Shan said so, a doubtful 'wu wu' sound came from behind him.
"Hm, you stay as well"
Xiu!
…
Wind.
Fire.
Smoke.
Above the great river, demonic creatures filled the sky.
Countless cultivators tried to attack, only to lose their lives one after another, falling into the river and turning into cold corpses.
The situation had reached its final moments.
The void of space shifted.
Without a sound, a man with four glowing flames behind him appeared.
He landed on the river and quietly watched this scene.
Strangely, no one's gaze fell on him, and no one noticed him.
The man silently waited.
All of a sudden, a voice came from behind him: "Why now?"
— — -the Earth sword's voice.
The man replied: "I once borrowed the War God UI's power to create two closed loops, one of which was the beginning of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy. There were already evil creatures lurking in the shadows at that time, so if I chose that time, they would've easily found me"
"To buy time, gongzi chose the first closed loop" Shannu's voice followed.
"Indeed, this was my closed loop, but it was also a loophole in the evil creatures' timeline — — - if they can't find this loophole and erase it, they won't be able to become the Era — — - this is also the most important step of stalling" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"Why didn't they choose to kill you in the other timelines?" Luo Bingli asked.
"I think my parents had already learned their lesson from the Great Desolate world — — other than my closed loop, all of the timeline and history that I've experienced have been fixed by the War God UI, so the evil creatures couldn't interfere" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"How far-sighted" Luo Bingli praised.
The Earth sword said: 「 But I remember that there are already two of you here — — look! 」
Gu Qing Shan looked towards the other side of the river.
The soldiers all knelt down like a tsunami, revealing the figure of the armored general.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan appeared nostalgic.
He spoke up: "Truthfully, I should've returned"
"Why?" Luo Bingli asked.
"One of me came from the Age of Old, turning the War God UI into a dagger and delivered it to the current me — — - this formed a closed loop" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Indeed 」 the Earth sword replied.
"Then, the current me would've been sent back to the last years of peace, starting everything anew; while the 'me' who delivered the dagger would've returned to the Age of Old" Gu Qing Shan continued.
「 That's right, what's done is done, so why did you come here? 」 the Earth sword asked.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "If both of them left, what about this place?"
The swords froze, unable to say anything for a long while.
Gu Qing Shan stared at a faraway place.
Within the intense wind, countless blinding lights were gathering to form a sword array.
He didn't say anything else and sent his voice in his mind:
"Time is like a coin, when it forms a perfect closed loop and one of me returns to the beginning, there would also be another 'me' at the other end, this is the Causality of Time"
"Not to mention — —"
"At this point in time, after using the [Twin Return] sword array, I should've already died"
"— — to deal with the Dragon God, I've maintained my dead body, which perfectly fits the conditions of death, perfectly fitting into this moment"
The swords were speechless.
Luo Bingli sighed: "The demons had prepared for countless years to destroy the Great Desolate world, I feel like if they had you, they would've only needed a few days"
"I'm their enemy" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Then prepare to die 」 the Earth sword said.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
In the sky.
Sword qi surged, turning into a blinding sword array that slashed towards the gigantic demonic being.
Another 'Gu Qing Shan' silently appeared in the air, putting a glowing golden shortsword into the hand of the other 'Gu Qing Shan' who used the [Twin Return Sword Array].
In an instant.
Both Gu Qing Shan's disappeared.
In the world, after this attack, all the soldiers collapsed to the ground, no longer breathing.
The only one left was a dead Gu Qing Shan.
But the difference was.
In order to deal with the Flame Spirit Pendant, he took the Bow of Fallen Souls of his own accord and became a dead person.
"I hope that this will never happen again"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Let the coin flip again … even though our mission is to stall for time, I want to live — — for everyone to live"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan reached behind himself.
The Heaven sword was in his hand.
He turned into a streak of light, riding the wind as four illusionary flags manifested behind him.
Instantly.
Sharp sword phantoms filled the entire homeworld.
