The great tomb.

Inside an Apocalypse illusion.

Layers upon layers of black fog had filled this place, forming a closed wall that encompassed Shan Hai Qi Xia as well as an empty patch of land.

Suddenly, two swords appeared from the void of space, lightly slashing it apart.

75 Gu Qing Shan appeared from within.

As well as Xie Dao Ling, Barry, Kitty, Lin, a group of other people.

Gu Qing Shan gave Shan Hai Qi Xia a glance, signaling her not to panic.

Now that everyone has been gathered, whats the next condition of Fate? he asked.

Everyones gaze focused on Fate Gu Qing Shan.

Fate Gu Qing Shan took the paper out and unfolded it in the air.

Sure enough, the blurry lines of images now displayed more text:

[There are a total of 99 Apocalypses about to arrive, among them, 11 are True Apocalypses from outside the Reality Gate]

[More people would still be helpless in order to stop them]

[Please come up with a way to circumvent these Apocalypse, 3 in total]

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

He had never depended on winning through having more people in the first place.

Ill go first, we can try creating a few worlds that are especially resilient against Apocalypses, using them to prolong the time it would take for the Apocalypses to erupt within this great tomb Xie Dao Ling suggested.

You can create a world?

Not true worlds, rather, think of them as world-shaped defense mechanisms- there are plenty of World Origin scattered in this great tomb, more than enough for us to create some elementary faux worlds

Another Gu Qing Shan suggested: Besides that, since it had always been the Delimitation Divine Sword that had been suppressing the Apocalypses, we can follow the artifact spirits guide to help it forge a temporary new body, which will allow it to exert its power

We can first get rid of relatively easier Apocalypses, like those of the Sealed rank, and Unsolvable rank, we should be able to challenge them after all, there are many of us here another Gu Qing Shan suggested.

Twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan said: Among everyone, my cultivation is the highest, having reached Sumeru Lord realm, which gives me 120 Followers- I can link with everyone and pull you back whenever things get too rough

Kitty asked: That sounds like a very strong Thaumaturgy, how come you didnt use it when you were taking us through the parallel worlds?

This Thaumaturgy cant be used through parallel worlds Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

At this point, their discussion finished.

The solutions had been decided.

The paper changed again, displaying a new line of text:

[Perform the three solutions you had discussed, then you shall see the way to resolve this matter]

The black fog had been silently standing outside to observe them, now finally returning into the sword handle form.

Very good the Wraith artifact spirit spoke, As common sense goes, no matter how great an Apocalypse is, it will require time to completely devour a world. You can indeed create new worlds to delay the eruption of the Apocalypses

Xie Dao Ling said: It isnt a simple matter to create worlds, I will need some help

A large number of Gu Qing Shan spoke: Shifu, let me help you

Xie Dao Ling suddenly appeared nostalgic, then pondered: Let us search this great tomb for materials, I seem to remember quite a few places containing some decent inheritances

Let us go!

Wait a moment

Twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan spoke: Come, let me link you up as my Sumeru Lord Followers, this way, Id be able to transport you back here at any signs of danger

The group orderly took up their positions twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shans Followers.

The Wraith artifact spirit silently observed this, then suddenly spoke up:

As youve had everything planned out, Ill undo the seal. You can proceed as you see fit

The black fog then scattered.

This Apocalypse illusion slowly faded away.

The scenery of the Tomb River reappeared in front of them all.

Lets go, keep contact, we shall first go and create the preliminary form for a few worlds Xie Dao Ling said.

Under her lead, a group of Gu Qing Shan took flight, following her to leave this illusion area.

Among the others, twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan said: Artifact spirit, our second plan is to help you reforge a new body, this way you would be able to suppress all the Apocalypses again

The Wraith artifact spirit spoke: Reforging it is impossible, but there is certainly a bit of spare material within the great tomb that can help me gain power. However, only humans may use them I will need a group of people to help me retrieve them

About a dozen Gu Qing Shan volunteer: Let us do it

They had different expressions on their faces, but their tone carried no confusion, only fighting spirit.

Very well, this way, we will have another ray of hope the Wraith artifact spirit spoke.

The black fog once again expanded to envelope some particularly powerful Gu Qing Shan and left towards the deep end of the Tomb River.

About half of the group remained.

The sword handle made up of two twirling Wraiths still hovered in the air, staring down at the rest.

It turned to Gu Qing Shan: Right now, you will have to think of ways to get rid of the foremost Apocalypses to prevent them from interfering with our work

Several dozen Gu Qing Shan spoke up at once: Leave it to us

And us Barry, Kitty, Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, and the rest all spoke up.

Then

Keep contact and fight

Lets beat those Apocalypses up! This is this Barrys old job!

Lets go, I bet I can beat more of them than you!

Everyone took flight, heading deeper into the Tomb River.

The only ones who remained on the spot were the twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan, Fate Gu Qing Shan, Shan Hai Qi Xia, and the Wraith artifact spirit.

-as well as one Gu Qing Shan who carried [Worlds Apocalypse Online Cow].

His medical expertise was unmatched in the 900 million World Layers of his parallel world.

They silently observed the hovering sheet of paper that contained the Traces of Fate, waiting for it to change.

Shan Hai Qi Xia worriedly asked: There are so many of you, but would that be any good?

Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: I might not be able to guarantee other things, but during the past few years, Ive gained quite a bit of experience and expertise in fighting the Apocalypses, dont worry

His words contained an inexplicable sense of confidence, which made Shan Hai Qi Xia feel more assured.

Time slowly passed.

Gu Qing Shans expression suddenly changed as he reached his hand forward.

Another him was summoned back.

Ah, that really was a bit dangerous just now, thanks this Gu Qing Shan said.

He then took flight again.

Gu Qing Shan pressed his hand against the void of space over and over.

One by one, more of him reappeared before leaving right away.

Shan Hai Qi Xia felt worried again.

Gu Qing Shan pressed his hand against the void of space again.

Ye Fei Li was transported back.

He lost one arm, but as Cow Gu Qing Shan unleashed a ray of milky holy light, his arm was quickly regrown.

Ahahahaha Ye Fei Li couldnt help but laugh out loud.

Seeing this man whose appearance seemed clean but had a mental temperament, Shan Hai Qi Xia couldnt help but ask:

What are you laughing for? You do know that you almost died just now, right?

Ye Fei Li shook his head, then continued laughing: Have you ever tried a large-scale survival game?

What is that? Shan Hai Qi Xia said in a confused tone.

Ye Fei Li patted twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan, saying: This is the spawn base

He then patted Cow Gu Qing Shan: This is the resurrecting point

Patting Fate Gu Qing Shan, Ye Fei Li continued: This is the real-time strategy guide

He suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed again: Ahahahahaha, now you tell me, how are we supposed to lose?

Saying so, a pair of bright red wings spread behind his back.

Alright, alright then, what a decent grinding spot this is, I should go kill all the mobs-

Ye Fei Li excitedly licked his lips, his eyes displaying madness.

He turned into a streak of red light and headed back into the Tomb River.

After Ye Fei Li left, the Wraith artifact spirit spoke: Truthfully, there are some True Apocalypse at the deepest chambers of the tomb, you wont be able to deal with them

Dont worry, well come up with solutions to make sure that kind of Apocalypse cant exert itself twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan replied.

Not give them a chance has your fighting style always been this way? the Wraith artifact spirit asked.

Always Gu Qing Shan replied.

The Wraith artifact spirit went silent.

Time slowly passed.

Luo Bing Lis voice sounded from the Heaven sword: Gu Qing Shan, times about to run out

What happened? Gu Qing Shan asked.

The eight Eternal Abyss Soul Artifact components slowly manifested from the void of space.

They were in a state of being near-broken.

The Earth swords heavy mountainous voice resounded: As you know, we originally only had the ability to take you through the parallel worlds alone

Luo Bing Li continued: But you took away many individuals with souls from many parallel worlds, each of these individuals exist in the same breath as the fate of their parallel worlds. To suppress this chain reaction, the eight components had been overworked to the point of breaking

The Earth sword concluded: Once the eight components are completely broken, these individuals would be sent back to their original realities

As Gu Qing Shan was about to talk, his expression changed.

He tapped the void of space several times in a row.

One after another, his other selves appeared, placing many unique treasures and materials on the ground.

All the spare materials have been collected, now its your turn

They spoke to the Wraith artifact spirit.

The Wraith artifact spirit flew up, attaching all of the treasures and materials to its body.

It replied: There! I have temporarily regained my peak strength, just enough to suppress the Apocalypses in this place!

Another flash of light appeared, bringing another group of Gu Qing Shan and his comrades back.

Ahahaha, that felt good! Weve basically gotten rid of all the Apocalypses that can be dealt with; the rest are simply too much to handle Barry said as he swung his bloody fist around.

Gu Qing Shan continued to tap the void of space.

It then broke open.

Xie Dao Ling also returned with another group of Gu Qing Shan.

Weve utilized the world origin power to create a total of 15 faux worlds for the sake of buying time, they are not true worlds, but the Apocalypses would need a lot of time to thoroughly destroy them all Xie Dao Ling said.

No one said anything else.

They all turned to the Fate paper.

The hovering sheet of paper finally showed change:

[The Apocalypse of the great tomb can no longer erupt for now, but to completely resolve the issue at its roots, you would still need to complete the final step]

[Head into the Wraith realm, and retrieve the main body of the Divine Sword]

While everyone was reading, they heard shattering noises from the void of space.

The eight components hovering around twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan were breaking apart and dropping to the ground.

Everyone quickly understood.

Kitty walked up first, patting Gu Qing Shans shoulder:

Its time to say goodbye, seems like well have to leave the rest to you alone

Barry reached his fist out and lightly tapped Gu Qing Shans chest, encouraging him You are a member of our club, and a proud member of the Blade Edge Pledge, you can do it

Zhang Ying Hao took out a bottle of liquor and gave it to Gu Qing Shan: Something to drink right before the big battle, Im sure youll enjoy them both

Ye Fei Li was a bit unwilling to leave, so he said: Seems like I wont be able to join the fight against the Wraiths. That bunch causes trouble everywhere, truly irritating to hear about, Gu Qing Shan, make sure you stick it to them well

Xie Dao Ling also stepped forward, solemnly looked at Gu Qing Shan and said: Although we are from different parallel worlds, you must remember well, our Bai Hua sect must never be careless and

Shifu, please get to the point Gu Qing Shan said.

Get rid of them

Yes, maam

Everyone slowly faded into the void of space, returning to their respective worlds.

A young girl came forward, curiously looking at Gu Qing Shan.

In your reality, did you save me? Laura asked.

Gu Qing Shan smiled, then told her: No, I didnt save you. We fought by one anothers side and defeated Triste

Lauras dazed expression slowly receded, turning into a genuine smile.

Asura King Gu Qing Shan also walked up and smiled at him: Do your best, the rest depends on you alone now

Gu Qing Shan replied: Dont worry

He clasped his fist at the group.

The void of space flashed.

Everyone from the parallel worlds disappeared from the Tomb River.
