What an ignorant world.
The entire world was filled with wandering black skeletons.
Only Gu Qing Shan and a piece of black scale silently floated in front of the bronze pillar.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan confirmed it, "from its eyes, I can tell that it knows who I am"
The giant corpse paused.
"But the monster is already dead, there's no way to know what happened, and I have a piece of advice for you" it said.
"Please tell me"
"When you're powerless, don't try to look for secrets that you can't control"
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
That's right, the situation just now was far beyond what I could handle.
If it weren't for the Old Gods' [Armor of Protection], if it weren't for the Earth sword's desperate strike, if it weren't for the Six Paths Great Mountain sword's Grand Tie Wei Mountain property — — - without even one of them, I would've died.
Not only would I have died, but the giant corpse wouldn't have been able to escape either.
Gu Qing Shan sighed deeply and slowly spoke: "Truthfully, thinking about it, I've been going through so many things recently. Almost every second of every day, I've had to use everything I have, every trick I have, every trick I have, every trick I have, every trick I can think of just to find a sliver of hope in a hopeless situation. All of this is because I'm too weak"
The giant corpse agreed: "No matter which world it is, being weak is a sin, only by being strong can one survive"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "That's why, after everything is dealt with, I need to think of a way to become stronger — — - I need to do everything in my power to become stronger!"
The giant corpse asked: "What exactly happened in the outside world recently?"
"There are actually a lot of things …"
Gu Qing Shan explained everything that happened recently.
"The [Demon King Order] has appeared …" the giant corpse sighed.
"That's right, I've killed all the demonized, I won't let it leave that world" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That's good, if it manages to meet up with the [Order] in the Fallen Zones, the next round of upgrades will come very quickly" the giant corpse said.
"I'll destroy it in that sealed world" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Destroy the [Order]? What do you plan to do? "
"I told you just now, I've killed all the demonized"
"What stage has the [Demon King Order] reached?"
"They are evolving towards revolution."
"Then you won't be able to kill it like this."
"Hm?" Gu Qing Shan was taken aback.
The giant corpse patiently explained: "That's right, perhaps some of you know, during the [Kindling] and [Origin] stages, as long as all the carriers of [Order] are destroyed, [Order] will disappear"
"But since Order has reached the revolutionary stage, it won't be destroyed so easily."
"If there is no bearer, it will enter a dormant state, using the lowest consumption to ensure its existence until a new bearer appears."
"This is a secret that only a few people in the entire 900 million World Layers know about. Even if I tell you, you have to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, otherwise …"
The giant corpse closed its mouth and didn't say anything else.
"… Fortunately, I came to see you." Gu Qing Shan sighed. "Is there any way to defeat it?"
"Why do you want to defeat it? Does it already view you as its mortal enemy?" the giant corpse asked in return.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"…"
The giant corpse remained silent for a long time.
It seemed to be thinking about some crucial questions.
After a long while.
A piece of black scale peeled off from the armor and flew in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The black metal began to break apart.
A small silver box suddenly appeared.
Looking at this strange box, Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of solemnity in her heart.
"That so-called collection world of Sithe — — - is there any light in that world?" the giant corpse asked.
"Light?"
"Yes, the natural light of heaven and earth"
"There is, above the clouds"
"That's enough, take this box with you. When [Revolution] finishes evolving and appears, throw this box above the clouds" the giant corpse seriously told her.
Following his words, the silver box silently fell into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
"Do you have anything that can store it? On the way back, you definitely can't let it be exposed "the giant corpse asked caringly.
"I have a soul-bound Inventory Bag, can I?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Very well, put it inside, but don't put it with anything else, only open it when it's time to use it" the giant corpse told her.
Gu Qing Shan did as she was told and put the silver box away.
"What's inside this box?" he asked.
"A beacon"
"Beacon?"
"Yes, it can summon the Demon King Order's mortal enemy — — - a certain 3rd stage Order. Once they meet in the same world, they will mutually destroy each other and die together"
"You can't tell anyone about this, just say that you killed all the demonized when you leave, got it?"
"Got it"
The giant corpse reminded her again, which was rare for him: "No matter what, no matter what, don't ever mention this, otherwise, even if you can escape from the Demon King Order's pursuit, there will be even more terrifying things that will come after you"
"Alright, don't worry, I know what I'm doing" Gu Qing Shan also solemnly replied.
At this point.
Gu Qing Shan faintly felt a sense of rejection.
This world was starting to reject him.
But there were still a lot of mysteries, and he had a lot of things he wanted to tell the giant corpse.
"I'm going to leave now" he said.
"Hm, after you leave, I'll need to quickly repair my body and think of a way to conceal this world, I'll be busy for a while" the giant corpse said.
"Could it be that I can only come here when I'm breaking through a realm?" he asked.
"That's right"
"But the last time I went to Huang Quan, I also came here — — -"
The giant corpse cut him off: "The last time you faked your death to come here, it was a very dangerous situation, but I didn't mention it"
"Not to mention, the situation is different now, so don't try to come here carelessly"
"Only when you're breaking through will I be able to use a normal soul vessel to bring you here, that's the safest way"
Gu Qing Shan could only nod.
The pulling force on his body was getting stronger and stronger, pulling his soul back.
I'm about to leave this place — — -
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan recalled something important.
He immediately asked: "I have another question, what exactly is a world tomb?"
"A world tomb? You even know about that? "the giant corpse was surprised.
"My time is almost up!"
"Alright, I'll tell you"
"When the Old Gods created the world, the True Gods would occasionally make a few deviations and create some indescribable things"
"Because these things were created through the combined efforts of the Old Gods, some of them were too powerful, while others were too strange and unreasonable. There were even some things that the Old Gods were afraid of"
"Many failed creations were destroyed by the Old Gods"
"But at the same time, there were also many things that the Old Gods couldn't destroy after they created them"
"Because of that, the Old Gods came up with a few ways to seal away those things that were too powerful and strange, hiding them in places that were hard to find, to avoid causing too much damage to the order of the world"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What exactly are those things?"
"No one knows. Only by opening a world tomb will you be able to see what's inside — — - perhaps it's a book, a weapon, a living being, or even an incomplete world. In short, no one knows what you'll find when you open a world tomb, because when the Old Gods hid these things away, they didn't leave behind even a single word"
"In short, the creations that were abandoned or sealed away by the Old Gods are usually hidden in places that no one knows about, these places are collectively called world tombs"
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
He suddenly recalled the conversation he had with the War God UI.
[You've left a world tomb]
"What do you mean by world tombs?"
"The Reality that you speak of"
"Why do you call it that?"
The War God UI didn't answer and remained silent.
So there's actually a world tomb hidden in Reality!
Is that really the case?
At this point, the pulling force on Gu Qing Shan's soul was becoming stronger and stronger.
He's about to leave this world!
"One last question" Gu Qing Shan suddenly said.
"Hurry up, you don't have much time" the giant corpse urged him.
"How can I become stronger faster?" Gu Qing Shan loudly asked.
The giant corpse quickly replied: "Go to the Strife Zones, there's another world — — -"
Hoh!
Before he could finish, Gu Qing Shan was pulled away from this world by an immense pulling force.
He turned into a streak of light and quickly flew back the way he came.
"— — Apocalypse Online, but not the [Demon King Order]"
The giant corpse finished.
