Gu Qing Shan was focused on the War God UI, so he immediately held his breath as he saw these words .

[Worlds Apocalypse Online]!

Although it had an extra suffix of [Kindling], but I finally met it again during this life .

Perhaps to show how alert and careful it was, the line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI again, this time being displayed in big red letters .

[Special note: the War God System had sensed Worlds Apocalypse Online: Kindling!]

Immediately right after, another line of pure red text appeared .

[Kindling has noticed you]

[You are currently under Worlds Apocalypse Online: Kindlings evaluation]

[As is it now too late to leave this world, please act like you dont know about it, the War God System will continue to analyze the situation]

As Gu Qing Shan finished reading this, without having time to do anything, another voice called out to him .

It was the Bramble Birds call .

The same voice that issued him missions to complete for Triste .

[Your next objective has been determined based on your location]

It continued to speak with the same tone it used to assign him the mission from before .

[Please head 63km Southeast, you shall receive your next mission there]

Gu Qing Shan was stunned .

The War God System and Tristes mission system gave him tasks to do at the same time .

The situation had already gone far above his expectations .

It was now full of surprise variables .

While everything seemed calm, this might be the most dangerous situation he has been in since his return .

And even worse, there was no longer time for him to back off .

Gu Qing Shan shook his head .

--------even if he was still able to retreat, he wouldnt do it .

To find Su Xue Er, he must continue down Tristes questline .

Lets go

Gu Qing Shan said .

Alright . But why do you appear a bit anxious? Laura asked .

Im just a bit excited Gu Qing Shan replied .

The two of them turned into streaks of light as they flew past the cliff, heading in the Southeast direction of the frozen wasteland .

In just a few moments, they reached where the mission directed them .

In front of Gu Qing Shan and Laura was a patch of land filled with grey fog .

No matter if it was with his eyes or his inner sight, he couldnt see through it .

Gu Qing Shan stood at the very limit of the fog, asking Laura: Have you seen such a place before?

Hm, this is a world formed in other dimensions

Laura briefly sensed it and replied .

Seeing how Gu Qing Shan didnt understand, she explained: Within the void of space of particular dimensions, there are countless worlds that have never been explored . Originally, worlds like these should only exist within the Mystic Zones, so creatures outside of the Mystic Zones very rarely come across such a world

All of these worlds are in a fog state like this?

No . The grey fog was cast by Triste, it exists to set this world in place, disallowing it to conflict with the outside world

Conflict?

Indeed . When a world resides within another world, there would surely be conflict and rejection more or less

Laura sighed as she continued: I did not think Triste would actually hide another world from the Mystic Zones within her own world

As they were speaking, the voice of the Bramble Birds call appeared again .

[The new mission has been prepared]

[You are now qualified to help Triste resolve her issue]

[Within the grey fox, there is a 600-floor skyscraper]

Hoh!

Following the voices narration, Gu Qing Shan was lifted upwards .

The wind howled as a transparent block of ice under his feet shot upwards, bringing him with it to the sky .

A few dozen seconds later, the ice and Gu Qing Shan finally stopped .

At this point, he had already gone through the thick layer of clouds, bathing in the warm sunlight .

Gu Qing Shan turned to look .

The ice block supporting him was quite slippery, even he couldnt move around too abruptly without slipping .

Fortunately, the block of ice was very stable during its flight, quickly bringing Gu Qing Shan into the grey fog .

The fog only obscured his vision briefly before it became clear again .

Gu Qing Shan saw the 600-floor skyscraper .

Even from outside, the structure seemed really strange .

A portion of the floors were made completely out of wood, not only was it solemn and ancient, it also appeared quite tasteful .

Going past these dozen floors, the next portion directly linked to it was made completely from metal and alloys, occasionally giving off holographic images as well as streams of data .

Then there were some that looked like they were part of an old castle .

There were also floors made completely from bricks and cement; floors made of ice; floors carved full of gems and crystals; floors made completely out of gold, so on and so forth .

The mere first sight of the 600 floors were enough to mesmerize and confuse you .

What a strange building this is Gu Qing Shan commented .

No, this is a world Laura replied .

She was holding on a bit tighter to Gu Qing Shans shoulder .

Whats the matter? Gu Qing Shan asked .

I am a bit afraid of heights Laura answered .

Gu Qing Shan grabbed and held her in his chest, leapt off from the block of ice and glided on top of the 600-floor skyscraper .

He stood at the edge of the building, glancing around .

In this vision was a vast blue sky .

The sun was just mildly bright enough .

Unfortunately, this was a world of slaughter .

The [Demon King Order] was hiding here .

A lot of young blood mustve been spilled, becoming nutrient for the [Demon King Order] .

Step a bit further in, we do not need to stand in such a place . It is too scary

Laura said .

Gu Qing Shan then backed off to the center of the buildings roof .

Laura climbed out from his chest and back onto this shoulder, making herself comfortable .

At this time, the voice came again .

[I will now explain your mission]

[This times mission is simple, when you go through all 600 floors and reach the ground, you will have completed this times mission]

[Special note, you may not fly down directly from the outside of the building, that will be considered lazy work and you will not receive Tristes rewards]

[Mission begin]

The voice went away .

A door appeared below Gu Qing Shans feet .

On the door, the number 600 was written .

It seems Ill have to go down floor by floor .

----I wonder if theres an elevator, that would make it much faster .

Gu Qing Shan silently thought that as he grabbed the Earth sword in hand, preparing to open the door .

[Ping]!

A resounding chime .

A few lines of white glowing text appeared in space in front of Gu Qing Shan .

[Congratulations! One chosen by the gods to become the pioneer of a new age . This is a gift from the Bramble Birds, please confirm to register with the System]

Right after that, a selection screen appeared .

[Accept/Reject]

--------this was the same thing Su Xue Er saw from before .

[Kindling], without any warnings, has already shown itself to Gu Qing Shan .

Looking at the selection screen, he almost couldnt help but laugh .

This is [Kindling]?

Or, to be more precise, [Worlds Apocalypse Online]?

This is completely different from what it did in the past life

Such a simple method of enticement, are you looking down on me?

Gu Qing Shan muttered .

At the same time, the War God UI that has been staying silent so far quickly showed a few lines of large, bright red glowing text .

[Attention!]

[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Kindling has come]

[The War God System has went through careful consideration and thought]]

[At this pivotal historic moment, please make your choice]

[Choice 1: Give up on the mission and find somewhere to hide . Two days later, when the war fully breaks out, the System will transport you away . Your fate will be as Su Xue Er foresaw----- a few years later, you will have become a top-level Combatant of the 900 million World Layers]

[Choice 2: Find Su Xue Er, attempt to rescue her . That way, the dangers she took on from you will be returned, pushing your fate into a fog of unknown . You will most likely face imminent, life-threatening danger even more so than ever before]

[Special caution!]

[This is an unskippable choice]

[As a full-scale war is about to break out, once youve made your choice, the War God UI will adjust the System accordingly]

[Please carefully consider before making your choice]

As Gu Qing Shan looked at the 2 choices, he went silent .

What should I choose?

Normally the second choice would be better .

But this choice makes me feel indescribably irritated .

He couldnt help but sigh .

War God System, can you make me a third option? he silently asked .

[Ting]!

A clear chime came as the War God UI responded: [Two options have been prepared . The System can guarantee you these are the best options for your current situation]

Just make another one, make an exception for this being the first time I asked Gu Qing Shan smiled and said .

[What is the third choice you want?] the System asked .

I want to destroy [Kindling]

Gu Qing Shan briefly thought about it and continued: Yeah, this is a good thing, one stone to kill two birds, as long as I destroy [Kindling], Su Xue Er will be safe, and I will have avenged my past life

The War God System explained: [According to the Systems predictive analysis, this is the hardest goal to achieve, even the slightly mistake will cause you to die or become demonized]

Then do I have a chance to accomplish this goal in your prediction?

[A very small chance]

So youre saying theres a chance Gu Qing Shan continued, as long as theres still a chance, Ill take it

The System went silent for a short moment before asking: [You do not need to do that much, why do you insist on this kind of choice?]

Because it must be done

[It must be done?]

Right

Gu Qing Shan said and deeply sighed .

He blankly stared at the empty space, seemingly immersed in some sort of emotion .

Right now, his gaze seemed to have pierced through both time and space, looking back at the years that went by .

The multitudes of comrades who lived, fought and died by his side .

The multitudes of people who saw no hope, crying, wailing themselves to sleep in the night .

The people who walked with him to the very end, those that sacrificed themselves together with him .

Even though Im an orphan, during those final moments in my past life, I did not feel lonely

Gu Qing Shans tone was dejected, but determined .

Ever since I returned, Ive understood that I cant only live for myself

There are a few things that when you know it will happen, you know you just have to face it; and win

Thats right, I want to make it pay, for everyone

After expressing the words that weighed on his mind for so long, he sighed deeply before asking: So can you set up that third choice for me? This way, I can fight without worries

If you cant set up another choice

Then Ill throw everything away to go against [Kindling] by myself

I will give it everything Ive got

The System silently listened to him .

And it continued to stay silent for a while .

All of a sudden, new lines of large, bright crimson text appeared on the War God UI

[You are a true man who fights in blood and fire . Your decision will break through the obstacles of fate . Regardless if you live or die, you are worthy of this Systems name]

[Your choice has proven that you are worthy of the title War God]

[The System has finished adjusting]

[From today onwards, Destiny Quests will be removed]

[Three seconds later, the Quest System will be renewed]
