"There is no need to panic, my child. In truth, this is only a slight disturbance from a parallel world" the old lady calmly told her.
"A slight disturbance?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, when you were 6 years old, a parallel world was destroyed during the Apocalypse. The impact of its destruction caused our world to become slightly chaotic, the result of which was — — - the experiences of a certain number of people were different from others"
"Because they experienced what happened in the parallel world at that time, and not what was happening in our Space-Time?"
"That is exactly what happened" the old lady replied.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a long while before continuing: "In my world, there was once a famous person. Many people believed that he had died at a certain time, but he had actually always been alive. When he truly died, it caused a huge commotion — — - everyone found out that their memories were all wrong"
"Furthermore, when many people gathered together to reminisce about the past, some people's memories were different from everyone else's"
The old lady praised her: "That is indeed the case. These are only minor disturbances caused by the destruction of a parallel world, there is no need to pay too much attention to them"
"Then what do we need to pay attention to?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Descending from a parallel world after its destruction" the old lady's voice slowly became lower, "in truth, our main concern is for the things that come from the parallel world"
She continued to explain: "When a parallel world is destroyed, a few things that deviate from the 'parallel' Law would most likely descend into our world"
"One of them would be entities that escaped from the Apocalypse"
"Entities that managed to survive until the very last moment of the Apocalypse were all the most powerful individuals or races. Because of that, when a parallel world is destroyed and all the Laws of that world collapse, these individuals or races would no longer be bound by the 'parallel' Law and would most likely escape into our world"
"That is still acceptable, but there is another situation that we are most afraid of"
At this point, the old lady couldn't help but deeply sigh.
Gu Qing Shan asked further: "What is that?"
The old lady didn't answer her directly and instead said: "An Apocalypse that can completely destroy a parallel world is extremely terrifying, do you understand that?"
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and nodded.
If there was a type of calamity that could destroy the entire 900 million World Layers, the Eternal Abyss, the Space-Time Labyrinth, every single place within the 900 million World Layers, as well as all living beings within it, then this calamity would definitely be terrifying, almost unstoppable.
Gu Qing Shan answered with uncertainty: "But that's a parallel world Apocalypse, it wouldn't happen in our world — — - that should be the case, right?"
"Of course, the Apocalypse will not leave its original world."
At this point, the old lady's tone became even colder. "But after a parallel world is destroyed, its remains may bring some sort of apocalyptic disaster to our world."
Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in shock: "If it's an apocalyptic disaster that could destroy the world, wouldn't our world be destroyed as well?"
The old lady shook her head: "For the corpse of a parallel world and the apocalypse it carried, it would be very difficult to change from a 'parallel' state to a 'descended' state, it would consume a large amount of power"
"Those Apocalyptic Calamities that descended upon our world are no longer as powerful, so they don't cause too much of an impact — — at least under normal circumstances"
"Under normal circumstances …" Gu Qing Shan repeated.
The old lady smiled and continued: "You've run into a Man Killer Fiend and a Man Eater Fiend, correct?"
"Indeed"
"That was a parallel world Apocalypse. Originally, it swept through the entire space of that parallel world, not only were there Man Killer Fiends and Man Eater Fiends, there were also over a thousand different forms, some of which couldn't be resisted at all and directly destroyed billions of worlds"
"Although this Apocalypse managed to reach our world, it had already used up all of its power, leaving only the Man Killer Fiends and Man Eater Fiends"
"That's why I was able to deal with them" Gu Qing Shan added.
"Correct"
"Then the Game of Eternal — — -"
"It was also a weakened version of the Apocalypse, originally it forced all living beings to participate"
"Aside from that, the corpse of a parallel world would also affect our world. For example, as we said before, many people were in the same Space-Time, but went through many different things"
"What's the biggest threat?" Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked.
The old lady looked at him and went silent.
Gu Qing Shan also went silent.
That's right.
This was only under normal circumstances.
Under normal circumstances, everything was fine.
But aside from normal circumstances, there were also unexpected, unknown, indescribable, and incomprehensible situations.
The old lady suddenly smiled and looked up at him: "You've grown up, even within the 900 million World Layers, you're already a Lord-class figure, you're about to shoulder your responsibilities, so you should know a bit of the truth"
She waved her hand in the void of space.
The sky, the earth, the skyscrapers, the swimming pool, the screen of light, the people, everything disappeared.
What replaced them was a dark, obscured space.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her in confusion.
She gestured: "This is the final moment of the Earth Creator's life, I hope you can take a look"
Gu Qing Shan then looked towards the boundless void of space.
Only to see a bright and resplendent nebula filled with grey turbulence, quickly moving towards a certain direction.
Gu Qing Shan sensed a familiar presence from it.
Indeed, this was the Earth Creator.
It turned into a nebula and gradually appeared in front of a door made entirely of bronze.
This gate was so gigantic that even the nebula paled in comparison.
This scene seemed to have been shrunk down countless times by the old lady to be able to see it in its entirety. Otherwise, Gu Qing Shan doubted that even if he was here, he wouldn't know what happened.
The nebula stopped in front of the gate, turned into a giant covered in grey air, and reached its hand out to push the bronze gate open.
The Earth Creator!
As it placed its hands on the bronze gate, it seemed to have noticed something and sighed deeply.
「 So that's how it is, I had thought that the future I foresaw was ridiculous, but who knew this would happen in the Age of Old, so everything makes sense 」
The grey air around the Earth Creator quickly disappeared, as if it had been erased into thin air.
Following that, its legs also began to crumble into fine dust that scattered into the void of space before disappearing without a trace.
The Earth Creator's body began to collapse and disappear.
At the very last moment, it tossed out a bright star and shouted: 「 Disintegrate! 」
When the star heard this, it immediately streaked across the sky and flew toward the depths of the endless world.
The Earth Creator looked towards the old lady and spoke in a low voice: 「 I know you can definitely see this. My fate has ended, the rest is up to you 」
It finally chanted: 「 Death is the only path for all living beings, and I shall be the first 」
Saying so, it disappeared from the bronze gate.
The old lady waved her hand.
The scene faded away.
Gu Qing Shan found herself and the old lady standing in the middle of a luxurious royal palace with no one around.
"Why did it suddenly die?" Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice.
The old lady took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes: 「 It can't be helped, this is the most terrifying aspect of a parallel world — — - Fate Corrosion 」
"What is Fate Corrosion?"
「 As you can see, when a parallel world is destroyed, it will cause a slight deviation in our world, this is also a type of Fate Corrosion 」
「 But as you said, we don't need to pay too much attention to such a situation 」
「 Indeed, when the deviation is small enough, we can simply ignore it, but there is a certain situation that surpasses the limits of what we can deal with 」
「 Parallel worlds that are countless times more powerful than us, when they are destroyed, they will invade our world and change the fate of everyone in our world 」
「 For example, the Earth Creator is still alive and well in our world; but near the bronze gate, there is a parallel world that has already been corroded 」
「 This parallel world is incredibly powerful, constantly fighting against the Apocalypse, breaking away from the definition of 'parallel' and falling into our Eternal Abyss, right next to the Reality Gate 」
「 As soon as the living beings of our world approach the Reality Gate, their fate will be completely assimilated and corroded 」
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a while, then asked: "What you mean is, in that parallel world, the Earth Creator is already dead, so whenever the Earth Creator of our world approaches it, it must accept this fate?"
「 That is indeed the case, even as powerful as it was, it couldn't resist this fate 」
Gu Qing Shan was still unwilling to accept it: "Wait a minute, I can't accept this. How could such a powerful entity be killed by something as intangible as fate?"
「 Child, this is the fate of an entire parallel world, it isn't something a single person can go against, not even I can do it 」 the old lady sighed.
"Which means, our Eternal Abyss is currently enduring the fate of that powerful parallel world, as well as the aftermath of that parallel world's Apocalypse?"
「 You're right again, child, you are very smart, as expected of the person that the Earth Creator valued so highly 」 the old lady praised her.
She reached out and took out a bright star. Her expression became solemn and cautious.
「 Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind are the four Saint Pillars that make up this world, none of them can be missing. Take this, from today onwards, you will be the new Earth of the four Saint Pillars 」
