There was no wind.
The entire world gave off a sense of decay, as if it had been cut off from the outside world for countless years.
Dead silence.
Gu Qing Shan stood at the edge of the broken staircase, carefully observed it for a few breaths' worth of time before deciding to take a look himself.
He silently slid down into the ruins and looked around.
This was a city.
— — -at least before it was destroyed, it could be considered a grand city.
Rows of skyscrapers lined the streets, the streets were wide and spacious. Numerous metal shuttles were parked all over the streets, all of them covered in a thick layer of dust.
All of this proved that this used to be a technological world.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to scan over a hundred thousand miles and found a few dozen such grand cities.
"Strange … could the Ruins Tomb be a product of technology?"
While muttering to himself, he suddenly disappeared.
At the very next moment.
Gu Qing Shan appeared right at the center of the city.
A large number of human skeletons were scattered all over the square.
They were neatly arranged on the ground, showing that they had gathered here according to some sort of order and discipline when they were alive.
On the other side of the square were 7-8 flying shuttles equipped with various weapons, clearly carrying the responsibility of protection and security.
Unfortunately, they were all deformed, broken, broken, obviously they had suffered some sort of accident.
In the middle of these shuttles, a gigantic shuttle was resting on the ground.
Gu Qing Shan naturally noticed the importance of this shuttle.
He landed on the shuttle, carefully observed it for a few breaths' worth of time, crouched down, and used his hand to wipe away the thick layer of dust on the windshield.
Inside the cockpit, two skeletons were lying on the ground in a twisted posture, as if they had suffered some sort of sudden attack before they died.
Gu Qing Shan used his finger as a sword, casually slashed open the windshield, and jumped down.
He stood in front of the two skeletons and sensed them.
— — -as if there was an eerie presence still lingering on the skeletons, even after countless years, it still hadn't faded away.
"How interesting …"
Gu Qing Shan formed a hand seal and lightly pressed it against the two skeletons from afar.
Something happened — — -
A grey mist rose from the skeletons, heading straight for Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan wanted to dodge, but she suddenly felt something and stood still.
Boom!
The layer of gray mist landed on his body, and unexpectedly, it was like a burning flame, constantly fluctuating.
The next moment.
The aura of destruction surged crazily on his body, even triggering the Sword Qi in his body. The two merged into one, turning into an incomparably violent airflow, sweeping out in all directions with an unparalleled momentum.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths …
Gu Qing Shan floated in the air, looking around blankly.
The entire ruined world had been turned into a vast flat land, with no end in sight.
On the ground.
All the city ruins were destroyed.
The world was dark.
The entire world no longer had any traces of civilization.
"Why … did this happen?"
Gu Qing Shan murmured as she looked into the void.
Lines of glowing text quickly popped up:
"You're the Chaos War God."
"In the Primal Chaos, all the mysteries are under your command. They will be manifested into the corresponding sequence according to your will and be used by you."
"You've obtained the primordial sequence: Formless Extinction"
"This sequence destroys all tangible objects"
"Description: This is the most primordial sequence of Primal Chaos. Although its power is extremely weak, it can still destroy all enemies"
A new Mystery rune quickly manifested on the Chaos War God UI.
This rune was next to [War God Skills], [War God Title], [Entropy Annihilation], and [Spring] — — -
Obviously, it was the primordial sequence: [Formless Extinction].
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "System, what is a primordial sequence?"
[The System only knows that they are the primordial sequence] the Chaos War God UI replied.
When Gu Qing Shan asked further, the System stopped responding.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and looked around again.
The entire world had been destroyed.
All the ruins had been destroyed by the [Formless Extinction] he triggered, leaving no clues on the ground.
But this wasn't a problem for Gu Qing Shan.
He grabbed the Delimitation sword from the void of space and shouted: "Appear!"
The sword vibrated.
[Reflect], activate!
Countless images gathered from the void of space, once again manifested to show everything that had happened on the ground.
Within the illusory images, time began to rewind.
The ruins of the city appeared, followed by Gu Qing Shan's actions when he first arrived.
Time continued to rewind.
Gu Qing Shan's traces also disappeared. The ruins returned to silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
The Delimitation sword spoke: [Even after countless years, this place has not changed at all]
"Skip that, directly show the scene of this civilization's existence" Gu Qing Shan said.
[Got it!] the Delimitation sword replied.
Without a sound, time began to flow even faster.
All of a sudden, the entire city was reborn. Countless shuttles flew through the starry sky, a lively and bustling street appeared, with people walking back and forth.
The world had regained its vitality!
Even though he knew that this was only an illusion of the past, Gu Qing Shan was still a bit moved.
He saw a few people lightly floating in the air, moving forward in a flashing manner. There were even powerful humans who were wearing a light helmet of light, using the power of their consciousness to carry out various tasks.
This technological civilization … was several times more powerful than my homeworld, they even had a bit of psychic power at their disposal.
The entire world's development had reached the level of spatial research, which allowed them to fly out of the world and witness the existence of the World Barrier.
And then — —
The final day before destruction.
The world's leader made a speech, announcing that their civilization had entered a crucial stage of traveling across space.
Numerous airships took to the sky, using their advanced psychic technology to open the World Barrier.
Grey fog descended from above.
This was [Worlds Apocalypse Online – Form Extinction]!
It was so powerful that even the entire civilization fought to the death against it, they still couldn't escape the fate of destruction.
And finally, the scene that Gu Qing Shan saw.
— — -all that remained on the ground were the ruins of cities.
"… So that's how it was"
Gu Qing Shan pulled her sword back. All the images disappeared.
The entire world returned to desolation and silence.
He stood alone in this graveyard of civilization, silently thinking about everything.
The Delimitation sword spoke with a resounding voice: [It seems this civilization was destroyed by the Sequences]
Gu Qing Shan replied: "You're right, but there's a problem"
The Delimitation sword asked: [What problem?]
Gu Qing Shan appeared doubtful and muttered in a low voice: "According to the hints I received … the Sequences should be used to save living beings, why did such a thing happen?"
"Are the Sequences really used to save living beings? Isn't it a power of destruction? "the Delimitation sword asked.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
That's true, but I still feel like something isn't quite right …
I still remember the notification that appeared on the UI when I first became a Chaotic War God:
[As a Chaotic War God, you can command all Sequences to form the destructive combination of Primal Chaos: [Worlds Apocalypse Online], spreading it across the infinite worlds and using it to save living beings]
Saving living beings.
It was supposed to save living beings, so why did it become destruction?
This is a complete contradiction.
"Now that we've seen the secret of this place, should we leave?" the Delimitation sword asked.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then shook her head: "Among all the clues, this tomb is the weakest, it no longer has any consciousness, so we can enter"
"What are you trying to say?" the Delimitation sword asked.
"We can't leave so easily, and the matter here isn't over yet" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He held the Delimitation sword level and said: "My Grandmaster showed me how he looked when he was trapped, which was how I obtained the clue. Now that I think about it, he also entered a certain tomb and saw the civilization that was trapped here …"
"But this secret isn't complete!"
The longsword trembled, and once again, layers of light and shadow burst out, spreading in all directions.
Thaumaturgy, [Reflection]!
"What else do you want to see? The origin of that civilization? "the Delimitation sword asked.
"Let's go past that civilization and see what happened here before that civilization" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Got it!"
All the light condensed into countless flickering images.
Time once again flowed backward.
Not too long after, all the images suddenly stabilized.
The Delimitation sword spoke: "Look, this is the scene before the birth of that civilization!"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the images.
Numerous giant towers that seemed to connect heaven and earth appeared from the layers of light.
Celestial lifeforms wearing robes of various colors were moving back and forth between the towers.
— — -this was another prosperous civilization!
Their bodies were created from the power of the stars, and the type of power they used was pure mind power. But mind power was much easier to break through compared to other external powers.
Because of that, in just a few hundred years, this civilization had already reached the level of Mystery.
The symbolic event was a Celestial unleashing a simple space-type spell.
All the Celestials cheered.
From the moment they were born, they had always thirsted for knowledge and unknown secrets.
Their thirst for the Mystery of Space had once again spurred their entire civilization to develop by leaps and bounds.
They also looked beyond the world barrier.
Finally.
The entire civilization was determined to break through the world barrier and see what was beyond it.
They urged the giant towers to rise from the ground and fly towards the depths of the sky.
As soon as the world barrier was broken — — -
The grey fog once again poured down.
Even though the civilization created by these Celestials was more powerful than the Technological civilization that came after, they still couldn't escape the fate of destruction.
Everything was destroyed.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh.
"If that's the case, then we really are trapped here …" he fell into deep thought. "But why did the Echelon do this?"
Xie Gu Hong noticed all of this.
But what was the root cause of all of this?
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
A few moments later.
He swung his sword again.
"[Delimitation], continue to travel through time, let me see if there are any other secrets before this civilization"
"Got it"
The sword trembled.
All the images in the void of space flickered and began to circulate again.
