Dusk fell.
Zhao Lu carried the dinner, silently came over to take a look, then returned to the kitchen.
— — – Gu Qing Shan was still meditating.
A meditating cultivator definitely can't be disturbed, Zhao Lu knew this very well.
It wasn't until nightfall, when the moon was in the middle of the sky that Gu Qing Shan finally opened his eyes.
His cultivation had increased to Qi Training stage 3.
As Gu Qing Shan sensed it, he couldn't help but sigh.
— — -this speed of improvement is already fast enough, but compared to the situation he's about to face, it's nothing.
But it can't be helped.
The true power of the Apocalypse created by the Chaos War God UI's slaughter is for me to use as an Apocalypse.
Right now, I can only rely on cultivation to become stronger.
"Brother Gu, are you done with your cultivation?" Zhao Lu ran over and asked.
"Yes — – is dinner ready?"
"It's already ready"
"Then let's eat"
The two of them went into the barracks and sat down at the dining table.
Zhao Lu brought a plate of meat, two plates of salted vegetables, then gave a bowl of porridge to Gu Qing Shan.
"There's even cured meat?" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
"This is the last bit of meat I've been hiding, brother Gu" Zhao Lu said.
Gu Qing Shan understood what he meant and said: "The formation has already been activated, but it'll take a bit more time to send the message, reinforcements will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after"
Zhao Lu appeared happy and hurriedly said: "Brother Gu, eat a bit more"
Gu Qing Shan nodded and began to eat the porridge.
— — -what reinforcements?
The entire area of the barracks has already fallen, but Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan will most likely come to ask for help.
Saying that now is only to make Zhao Lu feel a bit more at ease, so that he won't be panicking and yelling, or even secretly trying to dig out the spirit stones from the formation plate.
From the current situation, as long as I'm still alive, Zhao Lu won't die.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan finished his porridge, he put down his chopsticks and sat cross-legged to cultivate again.
Without relying on the Chaos War God UI — — -
This kind of cultivation was actually not a problem for Gu Qing Shan. After all, he had once surpassed the Star River Saint realm and even walked on his own path.
However, the problem was that the process of breaking through to the next realm would place a burden on the body.
As an ordinary person, would his body be able to withstand the impact of rapid breakthroughs?
Gu Qing Shan cultivated for about six hours. At midnight, she broke through again and reached the fourth level of Qi Cultivating Stage.
He loosened the seal on his hand and temporarily stopped cultivating.
— — his body had already reached the limit of what he could endure, if he continued, he would definitely be injured.
"Brother Gu, do you want to eat supper?" Zhao Lu's voice came.
"No need, you go rest" Gu Qing Shan said.
"That's good … if there's anything, just let me know" Zhao Lu yawned.
"Yes."
Zhao Lu went to bed.
Gu Qing Shan slowly walked along the campsite, carefully thinking about the current situation.
"War God UI, what exactly trapped me here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[When everything starts over again, the UI must ensure that it operates exactly as it did in history. You will need to investigate the situation yourself, only then will the UI give you the appropriate explanation] the War God UI replied.
"Very well, then tell me, why did history change?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"What do you mean?"
"For example, Zhao Lu, or that Man-faced Demon Bird — — - both of them are different from how I remember them"
[When the same thing happens again, the person in that situation might make a different choice — — this is where fate is unpredictable] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan muses: "Fate …"
He stopped, right at the edge of the formation.
I'm trapped here.
This is a problem with the space.
And now there's also a problem with fate, becoming completely different from before.
What happens next?
What will happen?
Gu Qing Shan's expression suddenly became serious.
In the darkness outside the campsite, traces of demons once again appeared.
But this time, the demons were very far away from the campsite, and because of the Invisibility formation, they couldn't get close.
Gu Qing Shan lightly pressed the formation plate in his hand, thought for a few moments, then let go.
— — he didn't activate the [Great Detection] Great Evil Slaying Formation.
The operation of this formation can't be hidden from a human formation user, he only needs to maintain it.
As for battle …
It's best not to happen for now.
Having made his decision, Gu Qing Shan silently watched the demons leave.
All of a sudden, a voice came from the darkness:
"Why didn't you kill them?"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then answered: "If you really killed the demons, it would attract even more demons, that's not a good thing"
"This formation is enough to deal with the majority of the demons" the voice answered.
"But I don't have enough spirit stones left, I can't keep the formation running" Gu Qing Shan said.
A figure walked out from the darkness.
— – Gongsun Zhi!
Gu Qing Shan appeared cautious and spoke: "This humble one is Gu Qing Shan, a vanguard soldier of the Vanguard Cavalry, who might you be? Do you have a badge? "
The other party tossed the badge over. Gu Qing Shan caught it and infused her spirit energy into the badge.
The badge glowed brightly. A flame rose from the badge, condensed into a line, and formed several large words.
"Ding Yuan General, Gongsun Zhi"
Naturally, Gu Qing Shan knew it was him, so she also tossed the badge over for him to check.
Time has also changed.
On the other side of time, I'm still killing demon beasts, so I haven't met Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan yet.
Demon beasts …
If I didn't kill that serpent, I wouldn't have the gallbladder, so I wouldn't be able to heal Ning Yuechan's wounds.
This is Causality.
Causality also changed along with the Spatial Shackles.
Time, Space, Causality, Fate, everything has changed!
Why … did this happen?
Gu Qing Shan was confused, but still asked: "So it's General Gongsun, why are you here alone?"
"It's a long story, the Earthen Devil army is currently chasing after me, open the formation to let me in first" Gongsun Zhi said.
"Very well"
Gu Qing Shan immediately opened the camp's formation.
Gongsun Zhi nodded, came in, and covered the entire camp with his inner sight.
"Where are they? Why are there only two of them? "he asked in surprise.
"General, they're both dead" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"Then this formation of yours — –"
"It's a secret formation passed down from my family for several dozen generations"
Gongsun Zhi sighed: "So that's how it is"
— – the other party's badge is real, and the person matches, there shouldn't be any issues.
Gongsun Zhi casually opened a formation plate and formed a hand seal.
A few moments later, a person wearing a snow-white cloak and golden armor appeared outside the camp.
This person's armor was thin and exquisite, as well as a silver mask that completely covered her face.
Ning Yuechan!
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat and asked: "General Gongsun, who is she?"
At the very next second.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[Due to a series of unforeseen events, you will soon return to Reality]
[All equipment have been stored in an Inventory Bag, can be taken out again when needed]
[Begin return]
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but say: "Wait a minute — –"
Before he finished, a screen of light enveloped his body and took him away.
…
The Freedom Federation.
Chang Ning Steel's Mech research department.
A certain private room.
A screen of light appeared.
Gu Qing Shan appeared.
The communicator on his bed was ringing.
He didn't have time to think and grabbed it.
"It's Xue Er, she's probably going to tell me that she was accepted into Capital University …"
Gu Qing Shan turned on the communicator.
Su Cher's voice quickly came from the communicator: "Qing Shan"
"Hm, I'm here, is there something you need to tell me?" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Look at the news! Hurry! "Su Cher's voice sounded a bit nervous.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then pressed on the wall.
A holographic image appeared.
A news anchor was quickly reading from his script with an uncontrollable panic in his expression.
"The coastline is rising, the Island countries have all been submerged, this is a situation that has never happened before in history"
"The world's rescue plan for the Island countries has been completed"
"Every country has agreed, Impartial Goddess will carry out the rescue plan"
"— — -we've just received news, an unprecedented tsunami has appeared outside the Fuxi Empire's Southern port"
"In 30 seconds, it will directly attack the Fuxi Empire!"
A scene of destruction appeared on the holographic image.
Tsunami …
How can a tsunami that's thousands of meters tall be described as anything other than a tsunami?
The people of this world have never seen anything like this before, so they lack the vocabulary to describe it.
Watching the news, Gu Qing Shan fell into a daze.
How could he not feel the presence of destruction?
This was clearly a never-before-seen doomsday!
While he was thinking, lines of glowing text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[Attention!]
[You have personally witnessed the Apocalypse of the previous era: Oblivion]
[Please pay attention to your response. Every choice you make will determine everything in the current timeline.]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
The previous era?
Seems like the other side of me ran into some sort of problem.
After all, in this timeline, I've never seen such an Apocalypse in either of my lives!
As Gu Qing Shan silently thought, Su Cher's voice came again from the communicator:
"Qing Shan, I have a secret authorization, I'll send it to you right away. With this authorization, you can ride the military's warship to the capital — — at least the capital will be safe"
"I'll send it to you right away, don't refuse"
Saying so, she hurriedly hung up.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a few moments, then quickly saw a long line of code appear on the communicator.
— — this was the authorization that Su Cher had sent to me.
Before Gu Qing Shan could take a closer look, a knock came from the door.
The door opened.
Two people in black uniforms stood at the door and spoke: "Serial number 41157, Gu Qing Shan?"
"That's me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"From this moment onwards, you're fired" one of them said.
"Furthermore, the code on your hand is no longer valid, so don't try anything funny" the other person said.
"You have 10 minutes to pack your things and leave the research department"
"If you take more than 10 minutes, we will charge you with corporate espionage — — this is the Su family's final benevolence to you"
"— — in other words, you need to get lost a bit faster"
After saying so, the two of them didn't look at Gu Qing Shan again and left.
After the two of them left, Gu Qing Shan closed the door again.
"Last time, I was invited to a banquet, only to be fired after that, but now I'm being fired on the spot, could it be that I'm getting worse and worse?"
He sighed and murmured.
— — -this was definitely Madame Su's doing.
But that's not a big deal.
The most important thing right now is to find out what exactly is going on with this Apocalypse.
While he was thinking, his communicator flashed again.
Without waiting for him to open the communication device, a solemn female voice rang out.
This female voice spoke each word with a unique cadence, giving it a unique sense of rhythm.
"Federation citizen Gu Qing Shan, this is Impartial Goddess"
"Welcome back"
