The Great Divine Temple.
Over 800 demonized Combatants surrounded Gu Qing Shan and Lola.
As they were about to raise their weapons and rush forward, Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted.
"Wait!"
He didn't care about their reactions and loudly declared: "I am a member of the Justice Fist Club, Justice Fist Bali had gathered all of his Combatant friends to stand guard outside this world — — if you don't believe me, you can take a look at yesterday's newspaper, I'm sure you'll be able to verify my identity!"
More than eight hundred people stopped moving.
It wasn't because of what Gu Qing Shan said, but because they couldn't help but stop.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan spoke, intense wind began to blow — — -
[Sword Array – Taiyi]!
Three flying swords appeared from the void of space at the same time.
Countless shadows were released from the flying swords, drifting through the entire Divine Temple with the wind.
In a split second, wind and shadows filled the entire Divine Temple.
No one could stop the wind, no one couldn't be shrouded by the light.
This was a sword array that had been stacked twice on top of each other!
The crowd of ferocious people couldn't help but retreat and put up a defensive stance.
They all knew what was good for them.
Such a powerful attack couldn't be avoided, otherwise they would die in an instant.
Borrowing the power of the sword array, Gu Qing Shan quickly continued.
"The little girl on my shoulder, please take a good look at her, if there is anyone with a high status here, they would know that she is the Bramble Bird princess Lola"
"We are here as representatives of the Bramble Bird royal family to save you"
"I must tell you this, you think you're demonized, but you've been fooled!"
These few sentences contained a lot of information.
None of the 800 demonized Combatants who managed to stand out from hundreds of millions of people were idiots.
Facing the unparalleled power of the sword array, they couldn't help but stop and try to think about the meaning behind those three sentences.
"That's right, I was wondering why he looked so familiar, I've seen that newspaper before, he was standing next to Bali at the time" someone loudly declared.
"Is it really him?"
"That's right, I wouldn't make a mistake for something like this"
"No wonder, they have three Divine Armaments"
"The people from the club … are indeed powerful …"
Just as these people were discussing spiritedly, someone exclaimed, "Princess Lola, is it really you?"
Lola looked in the direction of the voice.
"Piasce the Astral Soul, why are you here?" she asked in surprise.
The man suddenly changed his language and spoke: "I'm naturally here to participate in the call of the Bramble Birds, but why has the venerable one also entered this place?"
"Me? I came with Gu Qing Shan to save you."
Under Gu Qing Shan's voice transmission, Lola said.
She spoke in standard Astral Soul Language.
The Star Spirits themselves were proficient in the languages of the myriad worlds, but they had also created a type of spell, using it as their own language of communication.
This language had a special characteristic, and that was, unless the Starspirit Race authorized it, you would not be able to connect to their language spell net, and thus, you would not be able to communicate with the Starspirits.
The Bramble Bird princess was naturally their esteemed guest, having already obtained the right to enter their language network.
Piasce the Astral Soul was stunned.
He suddenly jumped out and stood in front of everyone, loudly declaring: "This is her Royal Highness the Bramble Bird princess, if you don't want to die, then stop right there!"
The crowd went into an uproar.
Following that, a few more people stepped out.
A short man gracefully bowed to princess Lola: "I met you at the Astral Kingdom's banquet last year, I apologize for almost accidentally injuring you, esteemed princess"
Even if they were demonized, they would still stand on the Bramble Birds' side.
They were truly intelligent people.
However, they didn't know what was happening outside.
Suddenly, a tall, dark-skinned man jumped out and asked: "Wait a minute! Just now, you said you were going to save us, then you said we were fooled, what exactly is going on? "
"That's right, the Bramble Birds have never done a mission that encourages the killing of living beings, why would a Demon King kindling appear this time?" someone followed up.
Someone asked worriedly: "Through completing the mission and collecting Soul Points, I obtained a lot of power and treasures, isn't this Worlds Apocalypse Online? I'm sure I've already become demonized — — did I make a mistake somewhere? "
The crowd became louder and louder.
"That's right, everyone, listen to me, none of you are actually demonized" Gu Qing Shan loudly declared.
Everyone looked at him in disbelief.
Every single word he said was beyond everyone's imagination.
— — Iron Fist Bali and all his Combatant friends were standing guard outside this world.
— — -the Bramble Bird princess Lola was here as a representative of the Bramble Bird Kingdom.
— — furthermore, this person also said that we were fooled.
Each of these three things caused everyone to stop and think about it.
Iron Fist Bali and his friends were all peerless Combatants who had dominated the 900 million World Layers for over a thousand years, who could easily ignore them?
Furthermore, this was Triste's world, and the Bramble Bird princess Lola was the next ruler of the Bramble Bird Kingdom.
Whenever she appeared in this kind of situation, she would be representing the Bramble Bird royal family.
While everyone else was currently inside the Bramble Bird Triste's world, who would dare to touch the Bramble Bird princess? If they angered the Bramble Bird race and the Bramble Birds directly destroyed this world, wouldn't they be crushed to death?
Furthermore, this person also said that we were fooled.
We're not demonized?
That can't be right, we've clearly been demonized.
— — -wait a minute, where did [Kindling] come from? Is it really reliable?
Or is this person just making things up?
Everyone looked at the two of them in shock, unable to stop the doubts in their minds.
After exchanging glances for a while, everyone turned to the three demonized Combatants standing at the back.
They were the three strongest of the 800 people here.
Among them was God's Eye who appraised Gu Qing Shan's fighting prowess, as well as two other people.
"God's Eye, confirm princess Lola's identity" one of them said.
"God's Eye, I've checked just now, there's no mistake about her identity" the God's Eye with a purple glint in his eyes said.
"I think we should stop for a bit, what do you think?" God's Eye asked.
"I also think we should at least confirm the situation" God's Eye replied.
The two of them turned to the last person.
"God's Might? What do you mean? "they asked.
God's Might sighed: "[Origin] is frantically sending me new missions, even I'm tempted by the rewards"
[Origin]!
Gu Qing Shan sharply caught this word.
Seems like [Kindling] really did evolve!
This confirms one thing.
[Kindling] had been deceiving us all along.
At this point, everyone's expressions changed.
Someone shouted: "Look, the new mission reward!"
Over 800 people held their breaths, silently staring at the void of space in front of them.
Some of them looked at Gu Qing Shan and Lola with a hint of eagerness in their eyes.
Gu Qing Shan understood the urgency of the situation and quickly sent her voice to Lola.
Lola stood on his shoulder and loudly declared: "On behalf of the Bramble Bird royal family, I declare that regardless of what [Origin]'s reward is, we the Bramble Birds will double it!"
"I don't believe that there's anyone in the 900 million World Layers richer than us Bramble Birds!"
Oong — —
The crowd loudly discussed.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness Lola, the mission [Origin] gave me was to kill you, it rewarded me with a Divine Armament"
"What's a Divine Armament? Even the cup I use to brush my teeth is a Divine Armament!" Lola scoffed.
She took out a metal cup and threw it.
Clang!
The cup hit the ice and slid quite a distance away, stopping right in front of everyone.
Clatter clatter!
Countless grains of golden sand flowed out of the cup without stopping.
"The Endless Golden Sand Grail!" someone excitedly called out.
Although gold wasn't a high-grade currency, it was common in the infinite worlds.
This grail could produce golden sand for eternity.
Even if the value of gold wasn't that high, as long as they had this cup, spending a bit more time wouldn't be a problem!
The crowd went silent.
Everyone stared at the Endless Golden Sand Grail, then back at their own UI.
That's right, the Bramble Birds are the richest, and we're still in their world, there's no need to offend them just to obtain something.
Not to mention, even if we demonize, the demons wouldn't dare to invade the Mystic Zones.
Other than a few living beings, including the demons, no one else would dare to recklessly enter the Mystic Zones.
Staying there would only result in death!
With that in mind, many people fell into hesitation.
The situation was at a stalemate.
God's Might suddenly asked: "You said we've been deceived, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Qing Shan was waiting for this moment.
The reason why he risked his life to come here was for this!
"You've all installed [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Origin], haven't you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Quite a few people nodded.
"That's right" God's Blood had no choice but to admit it.
"On behalf of the Bramble Bird race, Lola and I would like to express our sincerest apologies" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Hm? What do you mean? "
Seeing him acting like that, everyone felt uneasy.
"Perhaps you all think that you've installed the [Demon King Order] from the Fallen Zones, but I want to tell you, this is a fake"
"Because of our mistake, we didn't notice and put this deceptive thing in, causing everyone to suffer heavy losses, we hereby express our deepest apologies" Gu Qing Shan continued.
The 800 demonized Combatants were all confused by his words.
"A deceptive thing? No, it's the real [Worlds Apocalypse Online], it gave me immense power "God's Might couldn't help but loudly refute.
He clenched his fist.
Wind, Fire, and Lightning Elemental Powers immediately gathered on his fist.
An elemental hurricane manifested from his body, filled with unparalleled might.
Hearing his words, everyone nodded one after another.
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "Then I want to ask, did you obtain this power through Soul Points, or through EXP?"
God's Might recalled briefly and answered: "When I was still [Kindling], I exchanged Soul Points for this power"
"Can you still exchange Soul Points for it now?"
"Right now it's EXP, but after deducting EXP, I can level up and exchange it for good stuff" the man stared at his EXP bar in the void of space and replied.
EXP!
Gu Qing Shan's heart calmed down.
To him, this was a phrase he couldn't be more familiar with.
A bone-deep familiarity.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then said: "You can check your personal information to see how much EXP you need to break through each time after that"
"Ah, got it"
God's Might did as he was told, flipping through something in the void of space.
Slowly, his face went pale.
Cold sweat the size of beans dripped down from his forehead.
"So much EXP … it's impossible to achieve …"
"Liar, it really is a deceptive thing …"
He muttered in a daze.
Seeing his reaction, the 800 demonized Combatants couldn't help but start to fiddle with their personal UI.
"This EXP — — -"
"No! How is that possible! "
"I can't do that even in my entire life!"
"I was tricked …"
"So I'm not a demonized Combatant! I was just tricked by a garbage [Order]! "
Everyone exclaimed.
Gu Qing Shan remained silent and didn't say anything.
He was observing everyone's reaction.
That's right, this is a very familiar scene, he also went through this in the past life.
This despair is something that no one would ever forget.
Taking this chance, Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted.
He spoke as loud as he could to cover everyone else's voice.
"Aside from EXP, there's something even more unfortunate that I have to tell you. “
"Everything that this fake [Order] rewarded you with came from someone else's personal property, as soon as you leave this place, they'll immediately come after you"
"Can you prove that?" God's Might asked, unwilling to give up.
"Of course! For example, I'm familiar with swords, please turn to the swords page for equipment exchange, you'll find that all the swords on there came from the weapon shop in Infini-worlds Town of Aboul "
"Even if you use Soul Points or EXP to exchange for them, as soon as you leave, you'll immediately be taken back by the protectors of Aboul"
"As for the contents of swords, who has been to Infini-worlds Town and looked through the sword catalogue? Please stand out and prove what I said! "
As soon as Gu Qing Shan said so, he went silent.
Everyone shut their mouths as well.
Everyone looked at each other, waiting for a result.
For a while, everyone fell silent.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a bit longer.
Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.
"I don't know about the swords, but I have to say, this Epic war hammer of mine was left behind by the Old Gods, I've seen it before in Infini-worlds Town of Aboul"
A burly man stepped out and raised the war hammer in his hand towards everyone.
"I was wondering how I could exchange for an item from Infini-worlds Town just by contributing Soul Points, now that you mention it, I understand"
The burly man angrily threw the war hammer on the ground.
That's right, this is an item from Infini-worlds Town.
After leaving this place, this war hammer will definitely be taken back.
I worked so hard, but I didn't get anything.
I fucking worked for nothing!
Looking at the astronomical amount of EXP — — -
Indeed, it was just as the other party had said. This was a scam!
The real [Demon King Order] wouldn't be like this.
Thinking about it further.
If the real [Demon King Order] is also like this, then it would be even more terrifying. I would be completely under its control, spending my entire life contributing Soul Points to its growth, while it would only give me a cold number — — EXP.
EXP is a bottomless pit, anyone who falls into it would never be able to climb back up again.
That's why I should just pray. Pray that what he said is true, that the so-called [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Origin] is nothing but a scam.
"That damn thing, it's a scam!"
"Damn it, we've been scammed!"
"What the hell did you Bramble Birds do, why did you release such a scam to harm us!"
"No, the Bramble Birds made such a huge mistake, they must take full responsibility!"
"I demand compensation!"
The crowd loudly shouted.
But despite how furious they were, they no longer had any killing intent.
After all, they still needed to rely on him to deal with everything else.
Gu Qing Shan calmly stared at this.
He pursed his lips, slightly raised his chin, as if he already had a card up his sleeve.
"Very well, no problem, we've been entrusted by the Bramble Bird royal family to deal with this matter"
He smiled at everyone and spoke with a comforting tone.
It was now that Lola was barely able to control her trembling heart.
Looking at the situation in front of her, everything felt like a dream.
It was clearly 1 versus 800.
It was clearly an extremely dangerous trap, a situation where a single misstep could lead to death.
How did the situation suddenly turn out like this?
Lola rethought everything that happened just now, but still couldn't believe it.
"Gu Qing Shan, what did you do before?"
