Defeat me first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The caster’s hands quickly closed together, causing the glowing purple magic to become a rapidly oscillating ball of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spell had been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “If you have some troubles, you can actually just tell me, we don’t really have to keep killing one another to——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!” the red-robed caster shouted out loud and shot the purple ball of light towards Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan sighed and stood without moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple ray ripped through the void of space, drawing a black path as it flew forward and reached Gu Qing Shan in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan continued to stand still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disappeared abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where he originally stood, the red-robed caster suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the ray was a hair away from striking him, the red-robed caster had no chance to defend himself in any way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a heavy noise, the ray of light shot into its caster’s body and began destroying everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaargh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed caster collapsed to his knee, roaring in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been heavily injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood at his original position, advising him from a distance: “It’s really no fun to fight, how about we talk a little bit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed caster continued to breathe heavily while chanting an incantation and arranging a barrier of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I underestimated you, now that I have the purple death mystic shield to protect me, you’re going to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed caster declared with a vicious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t communicate at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the only choice is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan spoke to the void of space: “Switch with him”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low ‘wu wu’ sound came from the void of space, then—–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed caster disappeared again, this time reappearing in front of Gu Qing Shan with his hand grasping the caster’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void of space inside the light barrier only moved slightly before returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade gourd pendant Adorable had used Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift] once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had directly taken the caster from inside his barrier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan gripped the red-robed caster’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t move, if you move, you die”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four swords appeared from the void of space, two of which were propped on the caster’s neck, one at his chest, and the last at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan glanced down at where the Earth sword was pointing, then looked back up: “Tell me what you know about the Apocalypse, then I’ll let you go”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed caster was trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without doing much, he has already defeated me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What inconceivable combat prowess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed caster’s eyes displayed fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan didn’t know what he was thinking but was immediately able to grasp his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s mind turned a bit, slowly calmed his tone, and spoke gently: “I hold control over the dead and resurrection, as long as you tell me who you are, I shall rescue you from within the Apocalypse”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want you to swear” the red-robed caster quickly spoke with a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan could feel the situation under his control and vowed: “I hereby swear, as long as——-”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he even finished his words, the red-robed caster in his grasp started crumbling into fine sand and scattering to the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed caster’s expression was filled with fear and tried to call out: “Save...me...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very last moment, his expression suddenly became blank, and started speaking in a frigid tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Life and Death are only representations of the truth, but living beings fall to it all the same”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that statement, the red-robed caster completely disappeared into the sandstorm and faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The howling sandstorm once again disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood still, shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crow was just a bit further away from him, silently watching it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah—– so not even God Almighty can do anything about it?” Crow muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was clearly saying that in a joking tone, neither he nor Gu Qing Shan were smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the very end, I could sense that caster changing into someone else” Gu Qing Shan whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right, I also felt that” Crow agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you ever seen this kind of Apocalypse?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Never. In reality, I’m quite nervous about this one now” Crow replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caster was a part of the Apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still had his own thoughts and will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very last moment, before he disappeared, he was replaced by another entity, declaring something completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How truly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, the mission told us to go help a place called Blue Mountain city. We should head there immediately, perhaps we’d get more information” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crow shrugged: “Who knows, we haven’t run into any large battles—— perhaps by the time we reached Blue Mountain city, everything would have already been over”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan glanced at him, then said: “Don’t jinx it, you already did it once just now”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crow was indifferent: “I’m just saying”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two of them were about to set off, their ID cards vibrated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice came from the ID card:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attention please]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Blue Mountain city had been destroyed by the Apocalypse]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crow’s expression slowly became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blue Mountain city had five groups of Professionists protecting it, I even know two Titled Combatants being stationed there. What the hell, did they both die?” he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for this miniature sandstorm stalling them, the two of them might have already reached Blue Mountain city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——in that case, what would have happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan watched over the ruins of the town once again and muttered: “What exactly is this? And why is it so powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1835,"2026-06-09T03:05:52.473Z",1,"novelbin.me","7b9db6d4ef8ca353c9e7963e1eabc8eb1a36163ab3229dcc252521068982130f","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-1315","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-1313",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
