Chapter 1751 Parasite
In the mountain valley.
Gu Qing Shan said: âActually, I also have something I need to ask youâ
âThen you can go firstâ Ye Ru Xi smiled and replied.
âBack then, in order to bring everyone with me and flee, the (Order] had to put all of its carriers into slumberââ did you also fall into slumber?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âI did not, this was what I wanted to tell you as wellâ Ye Ru Xi replied.
âWhy was this the case?â
âBecause I was and am still a Deity of [Chaos), the power of [Chaos] flows through me, being imbued with [Order] was only a temporary adaptationâ
Hearing her, Gu Qing Shan pondered: âAll the Awaitings of the (Order] faction followed me here, so where have the Awaitings of the (Chaos] faction gone to?â
Ye Ru Xi then showed a complicated expression.
She looked as if she had gone through so many things and had a lot to say, but didnât know where to begin.
So Gu Qing Shan decided to just relax and handed her a bottle of alcohol.
âWant something to drink?â
âSureâ
Ye Ru Xi began drinking straight from the bottle.
âNo need to rushâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âIâm fine, I just wanted to drinkâ
Ye Ru Xi then began tilting her head back and started chugging until the whole bottle was empty.
Gu Qing Shan silently observed her.
This girl was granted too much excessive power, treated as a treasure by (Chaos] for as long as she existed, and during the (Chaos] apotheosis battle, she played a critical role.
At the time, both the Soul Shrieker and I had to locate and protect her. [Chaos) then judged the outcome of the apotheosis battle in accordance with the efforts of both sides.
So what is it that she wants to tell me?
While he was thinking that, Ye Ru Xi asked:
âDo you have any more alcohol?â â...Yesâ Gu Qing Shan replied. âGive me another bottleâ
âAlrightâ
Gu Qing Shan handed her another bottle.
ââthese were all Qin Xiao Louâs treasured brews of the highest quality, Gu Qing Shan initially took them with the intent to slowly enjoy them by himself, but now he had nothing else to take out.
After finishing another bottle, Ye Ru Xi turned to Gu Qing Shan again:
âGive me another bottleâ
âYouâll get drunk if you continueâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âOne last bottleâ
â...Fineâ
Ye Ru Xi got another bottle of alcohol.
This time, she didnât chug it down like she previously was doing, and was only drinking it sip by sip.
âNow I can talk, Iâve got a bit of courage to talkâ Ye Ru Xi said.
Gotten a bit of courageâââ in other words, she didnât have the courage before.
Sheâs afraid of something.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought, but showed a smile on his expression and said: âTalk, Iâm listeningâ
â...Gu Qing Shan, youâve saved so many
many dangers, so have you ever run into such a situation before?â Ye Ru Xi said.
âWhat kind of situation?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âââYou originally thought that you were doing the right thing, but one day you suddenly discovered that the world was much too grand, and youâre only an antââ- compared to the world, youâre only as heavy and as significant as a speck of dustâ
Ye Ru Xi continued: âYou notice that the line between right and wrong is extremely blurry, some of the things you used to insist on turned out to be exceptionally laughable as you looked back at them, perhaps even discovering that you had always been wrongâ
SO
SVATA
Gu Qing Shan didnât think that she would say something like that and answered her after giving it some clear thought: âThe Void is boundless, it contains countless worlds, and the comprehension of living beings towards everything is always limited, Iâm not sure which part of this youâre talking aboutâ
After a moment of silence, Ye Ru Xi softly replied: âThe Awaitings of the (Chaos] faction are already deadâ
âWhat?â Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
âThatâs right. When you fought against the Heavenly Emperorâs clone at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss, the entire Space Vortex was disturbed. This caused all the Awaitings of the (Chaos] faction to awakenâ Ye Ru Xi explained.
âAnd then what happened?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âThey had all become extremely weakened, but unlike the Awaitings of the (Order] faction, they didnât have lady Darksea to help them regain their power, and they werenât willing to join (Order)ââ theyâd sworn to always stand against [Order], you seeâ Ye Ru Xi replied. âSo they committed suicide?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
Ye Ru Xi answered: âThey saw the approaching Apocalypse and knew that they wouldnât be able to escape no matter what, so they transferred the last of their knowledge and power to me, urging me to evacuate with everyoneâââ I donât know what happened to them after that, but the Apocalypses had already surrounded the Space Vortex, and there wasnât anywhere within the Reality Gate that they could hideâââ
âWhich means, itâs definitely impossible for them to escapeâ Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Ye Ru Xi lightly nodded.
Both of them fell into silence.
Gu Qing Shan then smiled and asked: âWhen you evacuated, which (Order] did you carry?â
Ye Ru Xi stared straight at him for a long while before answering: â[Worlds Apocalypse Online â Magical Girl]â
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He thought briefly before consoling her: âThe Awaitings of (Chaos]âs main doctrine was to eliminate all living beings and use that destruction in order to deceive the Apocalypseâ âThatâs rightâ Ye Ru Xi affirmed.
âThe power of (Chaos] was so great that it destroyed your lifeâ Gu Qing Shan continued.
âIndeedâ Ye Ru Xi affirmed again.
âEven though they all died in the end, you still inherited the last of their power and all of their knowledge, so you feel grateful to them, as well as pained due to their deaths?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âNo, I just feel despairâ Ye Ru Xi replied: âIn truth, it was only after I inherited their knowledge that I found out that (Order) was actually a kind of Apocalypseâ
âThatâs correctâ Gu Qing Shan admitted.
âEven entities as powerful as the Awaitings could only choose to divide themselves into two factions, one faction attempting to copy the Apocalypse, while the other attempts to deceive the Apocalypse through destructionââ in the end, neither of them could actually win against the Apocalypseâ Ye Ru Xi concluded.
Her expression was filled with dejection as if she had lost all of her fighting spirit.
Gu Qing Shan was also someone who emerged from countless impossible situations, so he fully understood her current mentality.
He said with a gentle tone: âItâs not completely hopeless, the Samsara is our opportunity. It has always continuously evolved and it is the ultimate weapon of living beingsâ
Ye Ru Xi appeared to have awakened from her rut and sighed: âI can sense the power that this world holds, but what kind of person would be able to obtain it for themselves?â
ââtsk, not only did you not die, youâre thinking of going after the Samsara as well?
How interesting
Unfortunately, your acting skills are terrible, trying to slander the [Order] faction even at this point in time.
But it makes sense.
ââtheyâd rather destroy the entire Space Vortex so that a few individuals can avoid the Apocalypse Sequences.
âAll Chosen Saints of the Samsara are qualified to do soâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
âIf thatâs the case, what should we do now?â Ye Ru Xi asked.
Gu Qing Shan then explained the Elements Purgatory to her.
Hearing that, Ye Ru Xi happily commented:
âI currently have all the powers of a (Chaos] Deity, so I can directly take you to the very bottom, but...â
She appeared a bit hesitant. âThe power of (Chaos) is still as powerful as ever, so youâre still unable to control it, right?â Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
âThatâs right, the power is still too powerful for me to controlâ Ye Ru Xi sighed emotionally.
ââ-weâll see how true that is.
âNo worries, just continue to dig straight down until you canât dig anymore, just donât stop half-wayâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âThat should be okâ Ye Ru Xi replied.
She then chanted something unknown, abruptly summoning a bronze arm so large it practically connected heaven and earth behind her back.
âComeâ Ye Ru Xi told Gu Qing Shan.
The two of them stepped onto the bronze arm.
The bronze arm gently held the two of them in its grip, then silently began sinking into the ground.
In front of the arm, dirt and ground were like soft tofu.
Neither hard mineral deposits nor soft mud managed to stop the bronze arm at all.
Gu Qing Shan and Ye Ru Xi stood together, silently listening to any changes that might occur outside.
As the bronze arm continued to sink down, some muffled noises could be heard.
A few moments later.
The sound of battle could be heard outside.
âIt seems weâve entered the Elements Purgatoryâ Gu Qing Shan commented.
COM
âYeah, but I canât retract my power, so we canât stop yetâ Ye Ru Xi worriedly said.
âItâs fine, just continue heading downwards, we need to head deep into the ground, since thatâll allow us to avoid useless battlesâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
Ye Ru Xi then relaxed a bit.
The bronze arm continued carrying the two of them deeper into the ground.
Gu Qing Shan continued to remain silent.
Within the shrinking dark space, lines of bloody red text began to appear one by one:
(Currently heading downwards]
(Youâve reached the entrance of the Elements Purgatory]
(Youâve entered the first layer of the Elements Purgatory: the Wind Prison]
(Youâve left the Wind Prison and entered the Lightning Prison]
(Youâve entered the Lightning Prison, this is an extremely dangerous Purgatory] âWait a moment, Sequence, I have something to tell youâ Gu Qing Shan silently said.
(Speak] the Sequence answered without hesitation.
âHave you examined any of the lower Sequences for any issues?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
[I have not. My energy had always needed to be utilized carefully, so there was no priority to manage the lower Sequences] the Sequence replied.
âThere might be some sort of parasite inside (Worlds Apocalypse Online â Magical Girl), see if you can get rid of itâ Gu Qing Shan said.
[Are you sure there is a parasite? My energy is in an extreme state of deprivation, if I examine a lower Sequence bypassing its security measures, I will need to expend energy and enter hibernation againââ unless I actually find a parasite and absorb it to replenish energy) the Sequence warned him.
After a bit of silence, Gu Qing Shan replied: âIâm sure that there is oneâ
[The Sequence will bypass the Magical Girl Sequenceâs security to directly search for, eliminate, and absorb the power of the parasite, converting it into Apocalyptic power for you. You must come into direct physical contact with the target for this process]
[Attention, I only have enough energy to attempt this operation once, please confirm again that you indeed want to do this]
âI confirm, get readyâ Gu Qing Shan said.
[Preparations ready) the Sequence replied.
At this point, the bloody red text was still continuously popping up in front of Gu Qing Shanâs eyes:
(Youâve reached the Sound Prison, this is the final layer of the Elements Purgatory]
[Attention, you are still sinking down)
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Ye Ru Xi.
The power of [Chaos] really is going out of control, weâre about to go through the entire Elements Purgatory already.
Noticing his gaze, Ye Ru Xi apologetically said: âNot good, I canât control itâ
âItâs okâ Gu Qing Shan consoled her.
The giant bronze arm was sinking downwards increasingly faster.
A few moments later.
A line of bloody red text abruptly jumped out:
(Special warning, youâve exited the Elements Purgatory] (You are ascending]
(You are about to break through some sort of limit to arrive at an unknown place]
Gu Qing Shan immediately grabbed Ye Ru Xiâs hand and shouted: âCareful!â
Ye Ru Xi had also noticed that and nervously asked: âWhere did we arrive at?â
âNot sure, an unknown placeâ
Bamââ
A loud explosion was heard outside.
Followed by the sound of howling wind.
This feels very similar to flying in the sky.
Strange, how could there be another sky under the ground?
âTry and have the bronze arm open its palm, we can take a look outside nowâ Gu Qing Shan said.
Ye Ru Xi was surprised.
S si
The bronze armâs hand then slowly opened to reveal the scenery outside.
In that instant, Gu Qing Shan silently said in his mind: âSupreme Sequence, activateâ Lines of bloody red text began scrolling rapidly in the void of space, displaying new notifications one after another:
(Connecting to Worlds Apocalypse Online â Magical Girl]
[Examination begins!)
(Discovered 25 parasites: Void Awaitings]
[After elimination, they can provide energy for the Sequence to evolve]
[Elimination initiated!)
