The wilderness was silent.
The black horse galloped forward, heading into a dense forest at the end of the wilderness.
After going through the ghost horde, their journey here was relatively safe.
There weren't any ghost horde attacks in the forest, which was out of Gu Qing Shan's expectations.
Finally, the black horse stopped in front of an old tree.
"So this is the Whispering Tree?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes" old man Jiao replied.
Gu Qing Shan got off the horse first, then carried Lola down.
Lola stood on the ground, silently glancing at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan put her on her shoulder.
It was now that Lola smiled.
Old man Jiao took off his turtle shell and stood in front of the Whispering Tree.
He stroked the tree with both hands, silently feeling it for a bit, then couldn't help but cry out loud.
"Why, why did you all die …"
Old man Jiao knelt down in front of the tree, leaning his head against the trunk, his body trembling.
Lola wanted to say something, but Gu Qing Shan gestured for her to keep quiet.
"Let him vent his emotions, that's good for him" Gu Qing Shan said.
Lola went silent.
The two of them silently stood there for a while, until old man Jiao's cries slowly faded away.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure" old man Jiao said.
"It's fine, I understand"
"It's so depressing" old man Jiao shook his head in despair, "besides Tidal city, all the other cities are cut off"
"Cut off? What does that mean? "
"As long as a single person is still alive in each city, the connection to the Whispering Tree will not be cut off"
"… My condolences" Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered.
It seems [Origin]'s invasion was quite crazy, this lost world of the Old Gods was already heading towards destruction.
"Now, I need to establish contact with Tidal city" old man Jiao calmly said.
He closed his eyes and put his hand on the Whispering Tree.
Everything became silent.
At a certain point, old man Jiao opened his eyes.
He excitedly said: "Old Jiao, you're still alive, that's great!"
"That's right," old man Jiao's tone became gloomy: "I'm the only one left alive."
"Damned Apocalypse, damned ghosts!" he changed his tone and cursed.
Old Jiao suddenly froze.
"All of you, shut up. Let's listen to Old Jiao and see what he has to say." As he spoke, he gestured for everyone to be quiet.
Old Jiao's tone becomes calm: "I have two outsiders with me, they say they know Madam Han Ye."
He suddenly turned to look at Gu Qing Shan and Lola, sizing them up with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Are they the outsiders you're talking about?"
"Yes," he answered himself, "they saved me, and helped me a great deal."
Old man Jiao stared at Gu Qing Shan and Lola, nodding: "They don't seem to be demonized, but we still need to verify their identities"
"Of course, that's for sure."
"Please wait a moment, we'll invite Madam Han Ye right away"
Saying so, old man Jiao became silent.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola exchanged glances.
"It seems he can share his body with others through this tree" Gu Qing Shan mused.
"How miraculous, this is also the first time I've ever seen such a tree"
Lola curiously observed old man Jiao and whispered.
A few moments later, old man Jiao regained his composure.
"Madam Han Ye asked who you are" old man Jiao said.
"I am a certain adult Bramble Bird that hasn't received the Saint Bramble Tree's coming of age ceremony, tell her that" Lola said.
Old man Jiao nodded, then paused again.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Lola.
Lola whispered into Gu Qing Shan's ear: "An adult Bramble Bird must receive the Saint Bramble Tree's baptism, but it's too tall, I don't dare to go up"
"Then, as soon as Frost of Cold Night heard what you said just now, she would know it was you?"
"That's right, in the entire Bramble Bird race, the only one who doesn't dare to climb the Saint Bramble Tree is me" Lola lowered her head.
Gu Qing Shan rubbed her head and said: "That's not your fault"
Old man Jiao suddenly spoke up again: "Madam Han Ye wants you to prove your identity, she wants you to tell her oath"
"She should be protecting me" Lola replied.
Old man Jiao paused, then nodded: "She's responsible for dealing with almost 100 Entropy Ghosts, so she can't leave by herself. But she knows an absolutely safe path that leads straight to the outskirts of Tidal city"
"She wants you to quickly come find her!"
"Very well, tell her that we're on our way"
"Then it's settled, when you arrive, we'll send someone to pick you up"
"In addition, we have already informed Old Jiao of the direction of that route. He will lead you through that safe route."
"Got it"
At this point, Gu Qing Shan sensed a lot of inner sight leaving old man Jiao's body.
Inner sight entering the body from a super-long distance?
How miraculous.
"Let's go, I've just found a secret path that leads straight to Tidal city, we'll be able to avoid any ghost attacks" old man Jiao said.
"Very well, we'll have to hurry"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan suddenly looked up at the sky.
Old man Jiao and Lola both looked up.
Only to see that in the night sky, golden ripples were still forming.
All of a sudden — — -
A blinding light slowly spread across the sky, spreading in every direction.
The entire night sky was slowly but surely turning golden.
The golden light broke through the darkness, enveloping the sky and showering the earth.
It was an incomparably magnificent scene. It was like a golden dawn.
But then, strange things began to appear in the sky one after another.
They were quickly flying towards the ground.
"Oh … my god, my Creator!"
Old man Jiao looked up at the sky in despair.
He fell to the ground with a 'thump', completely in despair.
This magnificent sight meant that the entire Old God's barrier had been fully activated.
Many Entropy Ghosts appeared in the sky.
They're here.
Gu Qing Shan casually counted and found that she couldn't get an accurate number at all.
There were as many Entropy Ghosts as there were carps in a river.
They were going through the barrier to invade this lost world of the Old Gods.
"Didn't they say that these Chaotic Demon Lords are rare?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 They are, they've only appeared twice in the last 1000 years 」 the Earth sword confirmed it.
"Which means, [Origin] is currently mobilizing all of its forces" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He suddenly remembered something.
[Origin] was invading this world in a frenzy, even giving him a way to survive just so he could do a certain thing.
「 You're only given a chance to survive because you need to help me think of a way to take over a certain place 」
[Origin's cold voice was still echoing in his ears.
Following that, the War God UI's voice also appeared.
[It requires a few unique materials left behind by the Old Gods in the 900 million World Layers, these materials can help all non-living beings evolve]
[When [Origin] evolves again, it will become [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution]]
At this point, Gu Qing Shan's thoughts were quickly moving.
So my guess was right.
[Origin] wants to completely conquer this world to obtain the unique materials left behind by the Old Gods.
It wants to become stronger!
"The situation isn't looking good, we need to move faster" Gu Qing Shan said.
He leapt onto the black horse's back, waved his hand and lightly placed old man Jiao on top of the turtle shell from afar.
"Are you in a hurry, sir?" the black horse asked.
"Full speed ahead!" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Oom — —
The black horse turned into a blurred image as it galloped towards Tidal city.
Time slowly passed.
In the sky, the golden light was becoming brighter and brighter.
Countless Entropy Ghosts were breaking through the barrier, pouring down like a torrential downpour!
Lola sat in Gu Qing Shan's lap, looking up at the sky.
The Entropy Ghosts were coming very quickly.
In just one minute, they would reach the ground from several tens of thousands of meters above ground.
At that point, the entire world would be filled with Entropy Ghosts.
No matter how powerful Gu Qing Shan was, she wouldn't be able to win against such a large army of Demon Lords.
Lola gritted her teeth.
"Gu Qing Shan!"
The black horse was galloping at full speed, so she couldn't help but shout in the howling wind.
"What?" Gu Qing Shan also shouted back.
"Are we going to die?"
"Before we die, don't even think about dying"
Lola pouted and started sobbing: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if we had flown a bit earlier, we might have already arrived"
"Fool, everyone has something to be afraid of, it's not your fault"
"I'm a coward — –"
"No, you're just a bit afraid of heights, that's nothing, and you should believe in one thing"
"What is it?"
Gu Qing Shan pointed forward: "We won't die here!"
Lola turned her head to look.
A city.
A city appeared in her sight.
Different from the one she saw before, this city was built on top of a tall mountain, almost like a large military fortress.
Tidal city!
We're almost at Tidal city!
"Old man Jiao!" Gu Qing Shan loudly called out.
"I'm here, what's the matter?" old man Jiao replied.
"You might also need to join the battle after this" Gu Qing Shan said.
Old man Jiao looked at Tidal city.
On top of the towering and precipitous mountain, a fortress-like city stood tall and mighty.
The army of ghosts had taken over the entire area outside the city.
They densely covered the entire mountain, besieging the city with all their might.
The war had reached its most intense moment!
"No problem, for the sake of the Old Gods, I'm willing to die here" old man Jiao angrily shouted.
"Very well, we're going to charge!"
Gu Qing Shan held the reins tightly.
Three flying swords silently appeared around the black horse.
They alternated between flying forward.
