"Because I'm already half-demonized, I've actually learned a few Nefarious Arts, but the Nefarious Arts on this list … some of them I've never seen before"
Dugu Feng said.
"I'm all ears" Gu Qing Shan said.
Dugu Feng stared at the void, then suddenly formed a hand seal.
In a split second, a screen of light appeared in front of them.
The screen showed the scene of a world — — -
A planet.
The Freedom Federation.
The night scene of a large city was resplendent.
There was an endless stream of people and carriages; it was no different from his original world.
"First is the Parallel World Technique, then, to control everyone — — -"
Dugu Feng's hand seal slowly changed.
The screen of light expanded to cover the two of them.
Standing on the street, they looked around, only to see the same rune appearing above everyone's head.
"One person, ten thousand lives?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, but that's not enough, to prevent someone from suddenly discovering the falseness of the world, we still need to use the Ten Thousand Spirits Obscurity Technique" Dugu Feng replied.
The two of them looked down the street, only to see a man in military uniform staring at the sky, confused: "Outside the world … what should it be like?"
Dugu Feng changed his hand seal again.
The man's companion patted his shoulder and smiled: "Of course it's the universe, how did you take your classes back then?"
"Of course I know it's the universe, but are there any other intelligent lifeforms in the universe?"
"That I don't know, technology hasn't developed to that point yet"
"That's true …"
The two of them walked past Dugu Feng and Gu Qing Shan, heading far away.
"This is the Ten Thousand Spirits Obscurity Technique" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"Indeed, to control the level of civilization within a certain range, to prevent them from knowing the truth" Dugu Feng replied.
"Is that the secret of the void?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No, this is a secret that I've already found out, and this void also has multiple layers of restraining seals — — -"
Dugu Feng's hand seal changed again.
The world left the two of them and turned back into a screen of light.
Outside the light screen, a barrier filled with powerful magic power was created, protecting the entire world and isolating it from the outside world.
"An evil art that I've never mastered … is this Multi-Dimensional Shackle. Now, it seems that it can create a powerful barrier in each world, so that the living beings in each world won't be able to casually go to other worlds."
Dugu Feng continued to make hand seals.
As he moved, screens of light appeared around him, showing the appearance of different worlds. Some of them were Magic-type worlds, some were barbaric-type worlds, and there were also martial arts, spiritual, primitive, and other worlds.
All the worlds quickly gathered together, forming a continuously expanding Rubik's Cube.
"Multi-dimensional magic — this is the first time I've obtained such a high-level sorcery after so many years. It causes the world to undergo multiple changes, combining the three basic spells into a series of forms that can evolve into thousands of worlds, then using barriers to prevent people who aren't powerful enough from traveling between worlds —"
At this point, Dugu Feng seemed to realize something. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Everything was silent.
Around him, countless light screens hovered in the air, displaying the signs of civilization development in various worlds.
This scene was so strange and eerie that it seemed to exist for all eternity in the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan was also speechless.
The answer was obvious. But both Gu Qing Shan and Dugu Feng remained silent, as if they didn't want to accept the answer, or were hoping that their understanding would be broken by the other party.
After a long while, Gu Qing Shan finally spoke: "If that's the case … our views should be the same"
"That's right" Dugu Feng answered bitterly.
The dust had settled.
The truth had been confirmed.
Even Gu Qing Shan felt a chill in her heart at this moment.
At the very next moment — —
Dugu Feng's presence abruptly erupted, as if his old power had been awakened.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him and asked: "The future me has awakened your power … what do you plan to do next?"
Dugu Feng dejectedly replied: "If that's the truth, then no matter how powerful we become, what's the point?"
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while.
— — -so it turns out that all living beings and worlds were created by the evil fiends.
In the endless passage of time, no matter how much effort they put in, no matter how many Eras had passed, they had never been able to win against the evil fiends!
So that's why!!!
"But … that's strange" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What's strange about it?" Dugu Feng asked.
"The evil fiends clearly created billions of worlds, countless Eras, why did they want the Apocalypse to destroy them?" Gu Qing Shan thought about it.
"Only by finding out the truth of the Apocalypse will we know the answer" Dugu Feng replied.
"… That's right, you have a point" Gu Qing Shan nodded while thinking.
Rumble rumble rumble — — -
The earth trembled.
Gu Qing Shan's train of thought was interrupted and couldn't help but ask: "What's happening outside?"
Dugu Feng closed his eyes for a bit, then spoke: "Someone is fusing our homeworld and the cultivation world — — was that your idea?"
"That's right, if it can make everyone a bit stronger, then it's better"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.
What's the point of becoming stronger?
"Everything is the evil fiends' doing, even the living beings were created by the evil fiends, how could we possibly win?" he sighed.
Dugu Feng muses: "Your words aren't entirely accurate either"
"Ah?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"For example, living beings themselves are extremely weak, but they can create extremely powerful weapons, this is the breeding method of the Law of Causality — — - if the evil fiends gave birth to living beings, then the living beings might also be stronger than the evil fiends" Dugu Feng explained.
"That makes sense, then it seems we'll have to go out and fight" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Wait a minute"
Dugu Feng took a step forward and spoke with a serious expression: "The Apostles of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind have all awakened, while I have a few evil techniques in my hands, I can hide in the shadows and coordinate with everyone, so there won't be any problems for the time being, so you don't need to go"
"That's true, as a living being, I'm actually the weakest here" Gu Qing Shan agreed.
Dugu Feng put his hand on her shoulder and spoke in a low voice: "Gu Qing Shan, you're an Apostle of Primal Chaos, you also have the Primal Chaos War God UI, your background is also a mystery — — with your identity, you should be doing something more important"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "You mean — — -"
"To find the ultimate secret of the Apocalypse, only by finding it will we know why the evil fiends created living beings and worlds, only to use the Apocalypse to destroy everything" Dugu Feng said.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "Then I'll leave the battle to you"
"Don't worry, I'll use various techniques to help everyone from the shadows" Dugu Feng replied.
He waved his hand and said: "I'll take you back"
Instantly, the scenery around them changed.
Gu Qing Shan returned to the platform next to the underground lake, replacing the previous Gu Qing Shan.
There was no one around the platform.
There weren't any genetically modified monsters inside the underground lake either.
Jang Young-ho stood in front of the railing with a confused expression.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Just now, there was a lot of noise, that Genetic Behemoth was about to eat that person — — - then suddenly, everything disappeared" Jang Young-ho explained.
Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder: "There's nothing strange about that, it was only a phantom image of a parallel world. In truth, at this point in time, all sorts of Apocalypses have already happened, so those people wouldn't be in the mood to gamble here"
"In other words, we entered a parallel world from the very beginning?" Jang Young-ho asked in disbelief.
"Correct"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then added: "When you said that the other worlds were parallel worlds … the other worlds also considered us to be parallel worlds"
"Hm … when you put it that way, it sounds a bit philosophical" Jang Young-ho commented.
The two of them walked back to the elevator, pressed the button, and returned to the surface.
Coming out of the dusty, deserted casino, Jang Young-ho couldn't help but turn around to look at the door.
The clock on the door had disappeared.
"Let's go" Gu Qing Shan said in a low voice.
He walked across the street, entered the café, and sat down next to Fei Ying.
"Did you see the Water Apostle?" Fei Ying asked.
"I did" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That's great, what's the situation? Did he manage to decipher the black magic inside the Void? "Fei Ying excitedly asked.
Gu Qing Shan muses: "Fei Ying … was there anyone spying on us?"
"No" Fei Ying looked at the String of Fate in her hand and replied.
"That's true" Gu Qing Shan commented in confusion.
"Did you find out the truth?" Fei Ying asked.
Gu Qing Shan's expression turned serious, looked at her, and answered:
"Fei Yue … if I told you that all living beings and worlds are nothing but illusions, what would you think?"
Fei Ying appeared in disbelief and couldn't help but exclaim in shock: "Ah? Illusions! You're saying that all of us don't exist? "
Gu Qing Shan explained everything to her, then silently looked at Fei Ying.
Crimson Shadow's expression changed again and again before she finally spoke: "I really can't believe it — — but seriously speaking, there used to be nothing in the Void — — this was the opening line of one of the oldest books in Void City"
"That's why the billions of worlds and countless living beings really did exist after that" Gu Qing Shan said.
Fei Ying scowled: "But …"
"But it's too hard to accept?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Fei Ying went silent.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a few moments, then shook her head and continued: "The truth of the Apocalypse is indeed very important, but … I still have a question in my mind … if I don't solve this question, I won't be able to accept the truth, and I won't be able to find out the truth"
At this point, he made up his mind and slowly stood up.
"Let's go, Fei Yue"
"Where to?"
"I can't say for now, but I can guarantee that it's something more important than fighting against the evil creatures"
