In the 900 million World Layers, there were almost infinite worlds.
And among these worlds that were even more vast than the Milky Way, there existed a unique type of world that stood out from the rest.
They were the first worlds to be born, some of which were even older than the Divinities themselves.
These unique worlds were naturally born, not created by the Divinities.
These worlds were collectively called Prehistoric Worlds.
The world that Gu Qing Shan was currently in was a Prehistoric World.
Over the countless years, it had experienced far more hardships than the majority of other worlds.
This was because the World Origin it contained had a unique characteristic.
— — -Eternal.
All living beings created by the Divinities had to have a beginning and an end.
But Prehistoric Worlds had this unique characteristic of 'Eternal'.
Even the few calamities in history that could've been said to have destroyed everything only managed to temporarily destroy them.
A few short years later, the Laws of their worlds were once again glued back together.
The Prehistoric World was reborn.
Of course, the Prehistoric World that was reborn would also be different from before.
For the living beings of billions of worlds, this' Eternal 'that surpassed the Divinities became one of the things that the Combatants were most interested in.
Drifting Sand world had gone through a total of 37 World Lords, 61 natural disasters, 9 Calamities, and 7925 wars.
The book in Gu Qing Shan's hand was a detailed record of what happened before and after Drifting Sand world was destroyed for the 5th time.
At the time, there was a Lord-class Combatant who managed to defeat the previous owner of Drifting Sand world and took over this world.
The reason why he was so powerful was because he had a unique ability.
— — to duplicate himself.
He was able to make a complete duplicate of himself.
This wasn't the same as cloning or incarnation techniques, as it was a real, living person.
That new 'him' would be like his reincarnation self, possessing all the experience of martial arts.
The new 'him' only needed to train himself to start from zero and reach the peak again.
And that Lord-class Combatant would do everything in his power to nurture the new 'him' after he duplicated himself.
In this way, the new him would grow rapidly, and his strength would advance by leaps and bounds. At the same time, he would not encounter any danger.
When this Lord-class Combatant took over Drifting Sand world, he already had over 70 'him'.
He alone was equivalent to over 70 Lord-class Combatants!
The reason why he took over Drifting Sand world was to study the 'Eternal Law' of this world.
At first, everything was normal.
He gained many insights from the workings of this world.
However, one day, this Lord-class expert went crazy while researching the Eternal Law.
More than 70 of him attacked each other. Not only did he kill himself, he also destroyed the entire world.
Gu Qing Shan finished reading the detailed introduction and closed the book.
The book asked, "Do you want to see anything else?"
Gu Qing Shan looked forward.
At the entrance of the town, dozens of fully armed soldiers were staring at the crowd.
Every time a person walked to the door, the soldiers would point their weapons at that person.
Those who wanted to enter the town had to stretch out their hands and place them on a book floating in mid-air.
It was a thick, pure silver book.
This book had a name. It was called the Life Observer.
The Lifewatcher would decide whether or not to allow the person in front of him to enter the town.
At this moment, the long queue was moving very slowly. No one knew how long they would have to wait.
Gu Qing Shan said, "If possible, I'd like to learn more about this world."
"Please wait a moment."
The book answered and flew to the sky.
Soon enough, another book landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan flipped through the book and seriously read.
This book described a civilization that was once born in Drifting Sand world.
This was a Magic-type civilization that reached its peak of glory over 13,000 years of history.
At the time, this civilization was already connected to billions of worlds, allowing people to freely travel between World Layers.
Then, one day, this civilization stopped exploring the outside world.
— — -they already knew that the world they lived in was a prehistoric world.
So they decided to explore the world they originally lived in.
A few years later.
In a single night, the entire civilization suddenly collapsed.
Billions of worlds lost their connection to this civilization.
In the following days, Combatants from other worlds came to check out the situation out of curiosity.
They found that the entire world had completely collapsed, leaving nothing but ruins of that civilization.
Everyone was dead.
The world was changing again.
The scene at the time caused the Lifewatchers to shiver.
Just like that, a glorious civilization came to an end silently.
Gu Qing Shan closed the book and scowled.
[Would you like to see anything else?] the book asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked forward.
The queue was still slowly moving forward.
"Very well, please give me another book" he said.
The book flew to the sky. Another book landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan opened the book and saw a new history of the world's destruction.
While waiting in line, he read through quite a few books, only to find that this world was constantly being destroyed and reborn.
None of the countless Combatants who took over this world had a good ending.
Then people slowly understood.
This prehistoric world most likely contained some sort of strange 'curse', or something else entirely.
No one dared to casually enter this world again.
Until about 1700 years ago.
The owner of the black market came to this world.
He gave up on ruling this world and only established a black market in this world.
From the very beginning, nothing bad happened to those who simply came to trade.
Due to how powerful the owner of the black market was, no one dared to take the risk of interfering with the black market.
The owner of the black market didn't stop those Combatants who wanted to study this world.
He allowed those Combatants to enter this world and explore its mysteries.
Because of that, those Combatants didn't bother to mess with the black market.
In fact, due to the existence of the black market, Combatants would even receive protection from the black market for supplies and recuperation.
Because of that, the black market won the approval of most people.
As time went on, the black market became more and more prosperous.
This was something that had happened in the last 1000 years.
Gu Qing Shan closed the book and let it fly to the sky again.
This time, he didn't look for a new book to read.
Finally, after a long wait, there were only two people left in front of Gu Qing Shan. It would soon be his turn to enter the town.
At this time, at the entrance of the town.
A man with a sniper rifle on his back put his hand on the Life Observer's cover.
He was being examined by the silver book.
[Technological, Eagle-winged creature, permission granted] the Life Observer weakly called out.
Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the man entered the town.
There was only one person left in front of Gu Qing Shan.
This was a tall and thin man.
He walked to the entrance of the town and put his hand on the silver book.
The Life Observer paused briefly, then lazily replied:
[Elemental, Dark Elemental creature, all normal]
Hearing that, the lanky man's expression loosened a bit.
But he didn't notice that as soon as the silver book said 'all normal', the guards who were maintaining order were surprised.
The lanky man continued walking into the town.
Behind him, the Life Observer abruptly shouted: 「 Kill him! 」
The prepared guards all rushed forward and attacked with all their might.
The lanky man's expression changed.
He only had enough time to turn into a mass of dark matter and was killed on the spot before he could even use any spells.
The dark shadow broke apart from his crumbling body and scattered in all directions like a gust of wind.
Seeing that they had killed this monster in one fell swoop, the guards slowly retreated.
The leader of the guards asked the Life Observer: "Sir, what's the situation?"
The Life Observer replied: [A person with [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Origin] installed. Even from afar, I could smell the scent of [Order] coming from him]
The leader of the guards appeared worried and asked: "That's already the 15th one, what exactly is the [Demon King Order] trying to do?"
「 Ignore it, anything related to [Order] can't be hidden from me 」 the Life Observer replied.
It called out to Gu Qing Shan: 「 It's your turn, come 」
The guards all looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Just now, a servant of the Demon King appeared, could the next person be an accomplice?
They once again clenched their weapons.
Gu Qing Shan casually stepped forward and put his hand on the cover of the silver book.
I don't have the [Demon King Order].
But I've already carried the [Demon King Order], [Deity Order], and [Life Order].
Can this book detect that?
Gu Qing Shan became a bit nervous.
Very quickly, he felt a power coming from the book and circling around his body.
This was most likely the Life Observer's detection.
Time quickly passed.
But the Life Observer still didn't say anything.
This was already very unusual.
The guards gradually revealed their killing intent.
Gu Qing Shan remained silent and silently circulated the spirit energy inside his body, preparing for battle.
All of a sudden, the Life Observer laughed out loud.
「 Ahahahaha!
」 It shouted: 「 A human cultivator — — he had just passed the First World and was thrown into the space vortex by the collapsing [Life Order], what an unlucky bastard! 」
Gu Qing Shan sneaked a glance around.
The guards' breathing slowed down as they loosened their grip on their weapons.
They couldn't help but smirk at his misfortune.
The [Life Order] was supposed to help a person quickly gain strength.
Unfortunately, as the path to Godhood appeared, the [Life Order] had already been destroyed by the seven Gods, its power turning into the figure of light.
This newcomer was neither too early nor too late. He just happened to encounter this kind of thing. Such an experience was really too unlucky.
The fact that he didn't get eaten by the monsters in the space vortex was already impressive.
But this way, there shouldn't be any problems with his identity.
The 900 million World Layers alliance's Profession Division is very strict in their work, so they definitely wouldn't make any mistakes when checking a newcomer's identity.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the guards, only to see that they were all smiling.
He shrugged and smiled bitterly: "What can I do about it, I made it"
Hearing that, the guards' smiles became even brighter.
「 Go in, unlucky bastard, I hope your luck turns for the better 」 the Life Observer said.
"Alright"
Gu Qing Shan walked past it.
While walking, he released his inner sight to carefully observe the guards.
Only to see that as he entered the village, the guards had already retracted their gazes and turned to the next person.
— — seems like he passed.
