As Gu Qing Shan stared at this line of text on the War God UI, she held her breath.
[Worlds Apocalypse Online]!
Even though I've gained the status of [Kindling], I've finally met it again in this life.
As if to express caution and caution, the line of glowing text once again appeared on the War God UI, this time it had turned blood-red in color.
[Special reminder: The War God System has detected [Worlds Apocalypse Online]'s [Kindling]!]
Following that, another line of blood-red text appeared.
[[Kindling] has detected a new member such as yourself]
[You have entered the evaluation system of [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Kindling]
[There is no time to leave this world now, please pretend that you don't know about this for now, the War God System will analyze the situation further]
As soon as Gu Qing Shan finished reading this line of text, before she could do anything, another voice resounded in her ears.
The call of the Bramble Birds.
This was the voice that issued the Bramble Bird Quest after she arrived in this world.
[Based on your current location, the direction of travel has been determined]
It continued, its tone was exactly the same as when it issued the Quest before.
[Please travel 63 kilometers towards the Southeast direction, you will receive the next Quest]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
The War God System and Triste's Quest alternated.
The situation had developed far beyond his expectations.
Everything was filled with unknown variables.
Behind the seemingly calm state of things, there was the most dangerous situation he had ever been in since his return.
And under such circumstances, it was already too late for him to leave.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head.
— — even if he could, he wouldn't do that.
To find Xue Er's whereabouts, he has to follow Triste's Quest.
"Let's go"
Gu Qing Shan said.
"Alright, but why do you look a bit nervous?" Lola asked.
"I'm a bit excited" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them turned into a blurry figure, leaping over the cliff and headed towards the Southeast direction of the frozen wasteland.
A few moments later, they arrived at the designated location.
In front of Gu Qing Shan and Lola was a land filled with grey fog.
Neither sight nor Divine Sense could penetrate it.
Standing at the edge of the mist, Gu Qing Shan asked Lola, "Have you ever seen a place like this?"
"Yes, this is a world formed by another dimension."
Lola said after sensing for a while.
Looking at Gu Qing Shan's confused expression, she explained: "In some other dimensional spaces, there are many worlds that have never been discovered. These worlds were originally in the Mystic Zones. Apart from the beings of the Mystic Zones, the beings of other zones rarely see such worlds."
"These worlds are all in a gray fog state?"
"No, the grey fog was Triste's spell, it was to stabilize this world and prevent it from clashing with the outside world"
"Conflict?"
"Yeah, a world in another world will more or less produce some rejection and conflict."
Lola sighed and continued: "Who would've thought, Triste hid a Mystic Zones world within her own world"
While they were talking, the call of the Bramble Birds came again.
"The new mission is ready."
"And now, you are qualified to solve Triste's problems"
"Within the grey fog, there is a 600-story skyscraper"
Hoh!
Following the voice's explanation, Gu Qing Shan was lifted up.
The wind whistled as he stood on a piece of sparkling ice and snow, quickly ascending into the sky.
A few dozen seconds later, Gu Qing Shan finally stopped at a certain spot in the sky.
At this point, he had already broken through the thick layer of clouds and was once again bathed in sunlight.
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
The chunk of ice under his feet was very slippery, even he couldn't move.
Fortunately, the chunk of ice was flying very stably. It carried Gu Qing Shan into the grey fog.
The fog temporarily blocked their vision, but quickly became clear again.
Gu Qing Shan saw the 600-story skyscraper.
From the outside, this skyscraper already looked very strange.
There was a part of it that was made entirely of wood, giving it an antique and charming feel.
After a few dozen floors, there was another part that was made entirely of metal and alloy, occasionally displaying holographic images that displayed various data and information.
There were also some floors that looked like a castle.
There were also floors made entirely of bricks, floors made entirely of ice, floors made entirely of gems, floors made entirely of gold, and so on.
There were a total of 600 floors, just the appearance alone was enough to make one dizzy.
"What a strange skyscraper" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No, this is a world of its own" Lola replied.
She grabbed Gu Qing Shan's shoulder tightly.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm a bit afraid of heights" Lola replied.
Gu Qing Shan hugged her, leapt off the chunk of ice and landed at the top of the 600-story skyscraper.
Standing at the edge of the skyscraper, he looked around.
The blue sky stretched as far as the eye could see.
The sunlight was perfect.
Unfortunately, this was a world of slaughter.
The [Demon King Order] was hiding here.
Most likely, a lot of fresh blood had already been used to irrigate the [Demon King Order].
"Let's go a bit further in, we can't just stand at the edge, it's too scary"
Lola said.
Gu Qing Shan then walked to the middle of the building.
Lola jumped out of his embrace, climbed onto his shoulder, and sat down comfortably.
At this point, the voice came again.
[Begin Quest description]
[This Quest is very simple, when you reach the ground after passing 600 floors, you will have completed this Quest]
[Special note, you cannot fly down from the outside of the skyscraper, that would be considered slacking and you will not receive Triste's reward]
[Quest officially begins]
The voice went away.
A door appeared below Gu Qing Shan's feet.
A number was written on the door: 600.
Seems like I'll have to go down floor by floor.
— — I wonder if there's an elevator for sightseeing, that would be a lot faster.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought as she held the Earth sword in her hand, preparing to open the door.
Ting!
All of a sudden, a clear chime could be heard.
A few lines of glowing white text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
[Congratulations, you have been chosen by heaven to be a pioneer, this is a gift from the Bramble Birds, please confirm to load the System]
Following that, an option popped up.
[Confirm/Reject]
— — -this was the same option that Su Cher saw before.
[Kindling], without any warning, appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Looking at the option, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but chuckle.
This is [Kindling]?
Or is this [Worlds Apocalypse Online]?
This method is completely different from the past life …
"Such a simple method of seduction, aren't you looking down on me a bit too much?"
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Right at this time, the War God UI that had been silent for a while suddenly displayed a line of bright red text.
[Attention!]
[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Kindling, has descended]
[The War God System has considered and weighed the pros and cons]
"Please make your choice at this historic moment."
[Choice 1: Give up on the Quest and choose a place to hide. Two days later, when the all-out war erupts, the System will transport you away. Your fate will be as Su Cher predicted — — - a few years later, you will become a top-tier Combatant of the 900 million World Layers]
[Choice 2: Find Su Cher, try to save her before leaving. That way, the dangers that she took from you will return to you. From then on, your fate will once again be shrouded in mystery, and in future battles, you will most likely run into even more dangers]
[Special reminder!]
[This is a choice that cannot be undone]
[Because the all-out war is about to erupt, as soon as you make your choice, the War God UI will make a corresponding system adjustment based on your choice]
"Please think about it carefully and make your choice seriously."
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two choices on the UI and fell silent.
What should I choose?
I should probably choose the second choice.
But this choice made Gu Qing Shan feel unspeakably frustrated.
He couldn't help but sigh.
"War God System, can you give me another choice?" he silently asked in his mind.
[Ting]!
A clear chime came. The War God System asked: [There are already two choices, the System can guarantee that these are the most suitable choices for the current situation]
"Let's make another choice, since it's the first time I made such a request" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
[What other choice do you want?] the System asked.
"I want to eliminate [Kindling]"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then continued: "That's right, this is killing two birds with one stone. As long as I eliminate [Kindling], Su Cher will be safe, and my revenge from my past life will be avenged"
The War God System explained: [According to the System's strategic assessment, this is the most difficult goal to achieve, even a moment of carelessness will cause you to die, or become demonized]
"Then, according to your assessment, do I have any hope of achieving this goal?"
"The chances are slim to none."
"Then there's hope" Gu Qing Shan continued, "if there's hope, then I'll eliminate it"
The System went silent for a few moments, then asked: [In truth, you don't need to do this much, why do you insist on making this choice?]
"Because this is something that I must do"
"Must do?"
"Yes"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He stared blankly at the empty void of space, seemingly lost in some sort of emotion.
At this moment, his gaze seemed to have pierced through time and space, looking back at the past.
The people who fought side by side with him, wave after wave.
The people who couldn't see any hope, hugging each other and crying in the darkness.
The people who followed him all the way until the very end.
"Although I was an orphan, during the final moments of my past life, I didn't feel lonely at all"
Gu Qing Shan's tone was low and resolute.
"Ever since my return, I've always understood that I'm not living for myself alone"
"There are some things that, when they happen again, you know that you have to face them and overcome them"
"That's right, I want justice for everyone"
Saying what he wanted to say, he exhaled deeply and continued: "Then, can you give me another option? That way, I'll be able to fight to my heart's content "
"If you can't give me another option …"
"Then I'll throw everything away and fight [Kindling] by myself"
"I'll do my best"
The System silently listened.
It went silent for a breath's worth of time.
Suddenly, new lines of blood-red text appeared on the War God UI.
[You are a true man who fights through fire and blood, your decisions will surely break through the obstruction of fate. Whether it's life or death, you are worthy of this System's title]
[Your choice has proven that you are worthy of the title of War God]
[The System has completed the necessary adjustments]
[From today onwards, Destiny Quests will be canceled]
[In three seconds, the Quest System will be updated]
[Three]
[Two]
[One]
