Chapter 171 - The rain

Translated by: La0o9

Gu Qing Shan thought about it for a bit, then tried equipping the title [Talented General]

Drawing his sword, he infused his spirit energy

A misty fog enveloped the blade of the sword.

This fog was made entirely out of minute and fine sword qi, completely hiding the blade of the sword inside.

Gu Qing Shan swung his blade, practicing the Kai Shan Style.

As the sword moved, so did the fog.

This way, his opponents won’t be able to accurately gauge where the blade is, as well as quick sort of strike Gu Qing Shan is using.

“What an unexpected harvest” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He pulled the sword back, then thrust it forward.

When the thrust reached its maximum range, he activated [Rampaging Sword Qi]

Suddenly, all the fog on the sword turned into a phantom sword, repeating the thrust.

“Yep, a very pleasant surprise indeed” Gu Qing Shan commented.

After trying it out, he equipped [You Ji General].

The fog on his sword immediately disappeared.

After feeling his strength, Gu Qing Shan swung his sword, this time using Wind Slash Style.

Inside the General’s tent, Gu Qing Shan moved nonstop, as the sword in his hand turned into a blurry shadow, giving people the impression that the sword he held wasn’t real.

Even the air itself couldn’t take it, as the sword ripped through and created sharp and sorrowful screeches.

This was due to the sword moving too fast.

Gu Qing Shan stopped.

The General’s tent regained its silence.

Gu Qing Shan smiled.

He’s very pleased with these title Skills.

Then he checked the War God UI again ———because it has yet to say anything after announcing he had new titles.

This was very strange.

[Decisive battle (1)] is clearly only half a mission, but now that he’s finished it, the second half has yet to be seen anywhere.

Could it be he has to wait until the appropriate situation and reach the necessary trigger to have the next Quest show up?

That’s probably it.

The trigger must be when the cultivators of cultivation world move to attack Shen Wu world.

Which is three days later…

Gu Qing Shan checked the hourglass.

There was only a few minutes left until the hourglass becomes empty.

He sat down silently.

Then as the light flashed, he disappeared from cultivation world

…

It was raining very heavily.

In a pile of corpses on the road, a hand reached out.

A sword slash came, cutting into the pile of corpses and decimated the Man Eater Fiend that was hiding in there.

Pulling his sword back, Gu Qing Shan silently looked up.

There’s no wind, only endless black clouds pouring down a never-ending torrent of rain.

The entire city was silent, the only sound came from the rain hitting the buildings and what remained of them.

Gu Qing Shan reached out his hand, felt the rain and just stared at it blankly.

From standing in the rain for just a few breaths, Gu Qing Shan was already soaked all the way through.

But he seems to haven’t regained his senses, only stared straight at the rain water on his hand.

This was rain.

It is raining.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart slowly sank.

He opened War God UI and glanced at the System notification column.

Nothing.

“Before, you made me go and avoid the change in space-time. But I’ve returned now, what is the change?” he asked.

[Ting!]

War God UI answered him: [The change has completed, but with current information, War God UI has not detected any storyline triggers]

Gu Qing Shan went silent for a moment.

Suddenly, a small-sized shuttle descended right in front of him.

When it opened, there was no one inside.

[Come in, staying in the rain is not good for your body] Impartial Goddess’ voice was heard.

“Thanks for your worry. I want to ask, has anything strange happened in the world?”

[The sea creatures have continued to invade and attack coastal cities; Man Killer Fiends are still in the process of evolution; many countries in the world have gathered at the Confederate to discuss some matters]

“What else?’

[Saint Orlank Holy Empire had split into factions: the revolution army, the royal’s supporters and the Church had formed their own frontlines]

“What else?”

[The rest are things that sir Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t be interested in]

“I’m asking you ——-this world, has something new happened? Something that is completely and utterly unbelievable?”

[No anomalies of such weight has been detected]

Gu Qing Shan stopped a bit.

He let go of the rain water in his hand, sighed and entered the cabin.

The shuttle door quickly closed.

The small-sized lifted up and flew towards somewhere far away.

Inside the shuttle, a brand new set of clean clothes was left next to the pilot seat, as well as a cup of juice.

[Rare fruits juice mix, I made it tailored to your taste]

“Thanks”

Gu Qing Shan changed his clothes, sat onto the pilot seat and started thinking.

With the rain, the unstoppable Apocalypse was slowly coming closer.

But from the current situation, most things that happened in the past life would not repeat itself in the same order this time around.

Then what will it be?

The situation right now is very much similar to a tense bowstring that hasn’t been let go, since things are completely different to what happened during the past life, he doesn’t know anything about what will happen next, which means he can only wait.

If [Worlds’ Apocalypse Online] is to launch half a year early, Gu Qing Shan would welcome it with open arms.

Ever since he returned to this past, in the span of no more than a few days, Gu Qing Shan had been through way too many things.

A single person fighting against countless demons, that’s nothing but a pipe dream.

Nothing would make him happier right now than to hear that everyone is able to enter the cultivation world.

“How are Ye Fei Li and Zhang Ying Hao?” he asked.

A screen turned on to show the scene at another place.

Ye Fei Li, Zhang Ying Hao and another unfamiliar man was sitting around a table, enjoying a lavish dinner.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the unfamiliar man to see that he had a square-shaped face and a mustache, holding an antique smoking pipe in hand.

He was eating very slowly, his gestures as graceful as any high-ranking aristocrats.

This was a dandy middle-aged man.

The only problem is that his overly sharp eyes ruined the gentle and graceful gentleman image he has.

“Peh! Peh! Fucking spicy chicken, bastard, don’t you have anything milder?” the man cursed.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his image completely shattered.

Gu Qing Shan frowned and questioned: “Who is this?”

[Liao Xing, scientist, inventor of warp technology]

“He doesn’t look at all like I remembered”

[You ordered for him to get total face surgery after he returned, sir]

“Ah, I remember that ———but how did you fix him into this appearance? He looks so different”

[He drew the portrait himself]

“…Fine then”

[When he returned, you weren’t here so I brought him over]

“Hm”

As Gu Qing Shan said so, he began to hear the conversation on the screen.

“Dude, why are you wearing sunglasses while eating? The ladies won’t like it even if you act ‘cool’ like that” Liao Xing stared at the young man before him.

Hearing that, Ye Fei Li lifted his sunglasses to reveal a pair of bright red eyes: “Because I’m a Man Killer Fiend”

Then he decided to leave his sunglasses on one side and concentrated on the lobster on his plate.

“My god!” Liao Xing was shocked, quickly glancing at Zhang Ying Hao.

Zhang Ying Hao shrugged, showing that he had nothing to say to that.

Liao Xing very quickly recover from his shock, then thought about something and muttered: “A Man Killer Fiend… A hitman association’s head… That brat who stole Impartial Goddess for himself… Plus myself as an expert in explosives and warp technology…”

He suddenly became excited and shout: “Which means, our mission is to destroy the world!?!”
