Wind, Fire, Water, Earth.
Wind and Fire had passed, only two more Tribulations remained.
Gu Qing Shan once again returned to the world made of water.
Unlike last time, during this Water Tribulation, Gu Qing Shan had to face 6 parallel worlds of herself.
The first parallel world Gu Qing Shan had already arrived and issued a test to Gu Qing Shan.
A few moments later.
The other Gu Qing Shan crouched down, carefully observing the formation runes on the water and asked in surprise: "Who would've thought, formations actually have such a wondrous use, where did you learn this from?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "From a cultivation civilization that can only live in the sky, never to return to the ground"
"Their civilization must be very impressive"
"That's right, and also very selfish — — come, put your hand on this jade tag, learn a few things before you leave"
…
Another Gu Qing Shan appeared.
"As the one facing the Tribulation, what is the [Order] on your side called?" he asked.
"[Demon King Order]"
"That sounds scary, my side's [Order] is called [Sanctuary]"
"I know this [Order], seems like you're living quite comfortably"
"It's normal, definitely not as hard as you, but there's also a bit of helplessness"
"No one's life is always smooth sailing — — are you married yet?"
"Not yet, I don't want to, something bad will happen if I do"
"What's going on?"
"Hah, someone will definitely come to steal my marriage, so I don't want to get married"
"What!? I never knew you were such a coward — — why don't you just kill them? You can't even protect your own woman? "
"Hah, I can't protect myself, those girls are here to steal me"
"So that's why …"
…
"The test I'm giving you is beginner Mech construction"
"I can do that, but I'm afraid I can't compare to you"
"It's fine, why would I leave you here? Just do your best, I'll let you pass after you're done"
"Thank you — — by the way, why is your technology so advanced?"
"Ah, because I activated Impartial Goddess, we broke through the North Pole ship's firewall and stole all of their research results"
"You can defeat a Demon Lord?"
"A Demon Lord? What's that? "
"Forget it, pretend I never asked"
…
"That's right. You are the strongest of all the 'me' that came to test me."
"But I'm still not as good as you."
"What's your Order?"
"Worlds Apocalypse Online, Single Player"
"… No wonder you're so strong. Alright, I have something to give you."
"What is this?"
"An extra-large jade scroll. All of my cultivation experience is in there."
"Thank you."
…
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh while dealing with the water tribulation.
I didn't expect that in the countless parallel worlds, no other Gu Qing Shan would be stronger than me.
He was the strongest.
And the source of all of this was the War God UI that had always been by his side.
Gu Qing Shan had already noticed this situation.
None of the 'me' in any of the parallel worlds obtained the War God UI, instead carrying other [Orders].
Finally, the six versions of himself from the six parallel worlds had all left.
The water tribulation was over.
Gu Qing Shan's body moved, and she was pushed out of this world by a huge force.
Next was the final tribulation.
— — -the Earth Tribulation.
This was the final Tribulation to reach Three Thousand Worlds realm, as well as the most unique of the four great Tribulations.
Even [Origin] promptly displayed lines of blood-red text on the UI to remind Gu Qing Shan to take this Tribulation seriously:
[Esteemed sir, you are about to enter the Earth Tribulation]
[Let me remind you again, you are about to enter the most miraculous Earth World]
[This calamity is an extremely unique calamity. Please do not let your guard down because this Order is unable to provide you with any assistance in this calamity.]
Gu Qing Shan replied: "You make it sound like you've helped me when I faced the other Tribulations"
[Origin] paused. The text on the UI disappeared.
It directly reminded her:
[Please be careful, during the Earth Tribulation, all of your abilities will be sealed by the unique Earth World, you will not be able to use any of them]
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Will my memories be sealed?"
[That won't be the case, but after entering the Earth World, all of your cultivation will be erased from the Earth World, you won't be able to take out any items that contain power, your body will devolve back to the state of a normal person] [Origin] replied.
"As long as I have my memories, my swordsmanship and combat experience will remain, I know how to deal with it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Origin] replied: [Even if that is the case, please be extremely careful, if you die during the Earth Tribulation, everything will be irreversible]
"I know"
Gu Qing Shan appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually feeling a bit anxious.
The Earth World.
No matter how much spirit energy you have, how many powerful spells you know, or how many Thaumaturgies you have, none of them will be able to do anything in the Earth World.
This world was very famous in the cultivation world.
Because it forbade all miraculous powers from entering, cultivators must live as a normal person, struggling to survive in the Earth World.
Gu Qing Shan held her breath and waited.
The darkness around her slowly faded away, replaced by countless flashes of light.
The sky was bright.
A few moments later, Gu Qing Shan found herself standing on soft sand.
I've entered the Earth World!
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath.
She was surrounded by a boundless desert.
In the middle of the desert, there was a single road that led straight from this end of the world to the end of Gu Qing Shan's vision.
At the end of the road, there seemed to be a few faint buildings.
All the information in Gu Qing Shan's vision disappeared, leaving only a single line of text.
[Survive for 7 days]
After he read through it, the blood-red text also disappeared.
The scorching sun descended from above, creating a slight burning sensation on her skin.
Gu Qing Shan tried to release her inner sight, only to find that it could only work within her Thought Sea, not even a bit.
He scanned her Thought Sea.
Only to find that all of her items had been sealed, in a state where she couldn't touch them.
The good news was that the time around the Earth sword had been completely frozen.
Apparently to ensure the state of her items, the Laws of the Earth World had directly sealed the Earth sword's state.
This way, Gu Qing Shan felt a lot more assured.
The bad news was — —
As Gu Qing Shan leapt up, the flight he expected didn't happen.
He only managed to jump half a meter high before crashing back down.
Fortunately, the sand was soft enough to not hurt his feet at all.
But the heat from the sand gradually seeped through his boots and into the soles of his feet.
He couldn't take out the [Black Smog Armor] at all. The clothes that Gu Qing Shan was wearing, including the boots, had turned from a high-grade cultivator's clothing into normal clothing.
Gu Qing Shan muttered: "How miraculous, what kind of power is this to turn everything into normal?"
He quickly stopped paying attention to this.
Because it was too hot, after just standing there for a while, Gu Qing Shan was already sweating.
For normal lifeforms, the desert was a harsh natural environment.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the buildings at the end of the road.
— — -that was his only chance of survival.
He didn't waste any more time and started walking along the road towards those buildings.
There wasn't a single cloud in the sky.
The scorching sun shone down on the ground, causing the air on the road to twist.
The entire world felt like a steamer.
Gu Qing Shan had already taken off his outer clothes to make a simple sunhat to cover his head.
This was the longest and most difficult journey he had ever taken since he started cultivating.
Sweat flowed down his back.
His exposed skin was already red from the sun's rays.
After walking for half an hour, Gu Qing Shan was surprised to find himself gasping for breath.
This truly is a miraculous world, it's able to turn my body into a normal person, even my stamina is no different from a normal person.
But there's nothing I can do right now.
He had to maintain the rhythm of his breathing, do his best not to look up, and walk forward at a steady pace.
Another hour passed.
Just as Gu Qing Shan felt himself falling down, he finally reached his destination.
A path branched off from the road, heading straight towards the small desert town.
There weren't any signs of life in the town, but he could occasionally hear the faint sound of music.
That's right, no one would go out on such a hot day.
Even though he was about to faint from the sun, Gu Qing Shan still maintained the most basic level of caution.
He narrowed his eyes as he observed the town.
Many of the buildings in the town had signs of battle on them.
The roads were filled with traps and simple fortifications.
Some of the buildings closest to the road had been completely burned to the ground, their main doors were left open.
But if he looked deeper into the town, the majority of the buildings were completely undamaged.
— — seems like the main danger still came from the road.
Gu Qing Shan didn't wait any longer.
His stamina had already reached its limit, so no matter how cautious he was, he needed to find a place to hide from the scorching sun.
He walked towards the town and stopped in front of the first destroyed building.
After a bit of observation, he entered the building without hesitation.
— — -this was the building closest to the road, all the doors and windows were destroyed, the inside was a mess, aside from a few empty shelves lying on the ground, there was nothing else.
Seems like this used to be a supermarket before everything happened.
As Gu Qing Shan looked around, he felt a bit more relaxed.
There wasn't a single thing that could be of use here.
From another perspective, this also proved that the supermarket had been raided many times before.
So this place should be safe for the most part.
Without any sunlight in the room, Gu Qing Shan finally felt a bit more refreshed.
Taking advantage of the last bit of strength left in his body, Gu Qing Shan made his way deeper into the building, pushed open a broken door, and continued heading inside.
Behind him was the supermarket's warehouse and cargo room.
Similarly, a lot of things had been taken away from this place, there wasn't even a bit of food or water left.
On the ground, there was an empty bottle of liquor covered in dust, most likely abandoned here for quite some time now.
Aside from that, there were also some old newspapers used to wrap things up.
Gu Qing Shan pursed his dry lips and walked up to pick up the empty bottle.
He solemnly put the bottle into his bosom.
— — -this was the first thing that could be used as a weapon.
After picking up the newspapers, he found a shady spot and sat down against the wall.
Although he was very thirsty, Gu Qing Shan estimated that he could still endure for a while.
The most important thing right now was to recover his stamina.
When he picked up the bottle just now, he almost dropped it.
He wouldn't be able to deal with any situation in this state.
Time slowly passed.
The sun had gone down a bit, the temperature outside wasn't as high as before.
Gu Qing Shan had also rested enough.
His stamina had finally recovered a bit.
But he was even thirstier now, there wasn't even a drop of saliva left in his mouth.
This was a sign of extreme dehydration.
As a cultivator, when had he ever been in such a desperate situation?
If it was any other cultivator, they would have already tried to find a source of water.
But Gu Qing Shan had already gone through the Apocalypse, so he still maintained his calm and caution.
He tossed the old newspapers on the ground.
— — -he couldn't understand the words here at all.
But the pictures of various wars in the newspaper still gave him a few more guesses about this world.
A world that couldn't use various abilities, but technology had developed to a certain degree.
He saw some ancient flying machines and missiles in the pictures, as well as the prototype of a Mech.
As for the enemies of these things, they were either a certain type of human — — or simply a mutated human body that turned into a monster.
If that's the case, it would be very difficult for a normal person to deal with them.
While thinking, Gu Qing Shan moved his body a bit.
He was sensing his normal human body, making sure that he had enough stamina to control his body and react accordingly.
A few moments later, the sound of machines could be heard from outside.
Gu Qing Shan leaned against the wall and quickly glanced outside.
He saw an ancient type of transportation vehicle.
