Anyways, are you hungry? Should I make you a bowl of noodles?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder was blankly listening when he suddenly heard the word ‘noodles’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His throat moved slightly and said: “Do you know how to make noodles?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do. Since you came from a long journey, I’m sure you have some ingredients with you. Provide me the ingredients, I’ll make sure to cook up a satisfying meal” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder paused, unable to help himself searching his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-as expected, this corpse isn’t carrying anything notable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s been such a long time since I last even heard the word ‘eat’, how could I pass on such a chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder tossed the previous away without hesitation and said: “Let me get a bit of ingredients”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol shook her head with a rare look of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She can understand their feelings, so it wasn’t something she could scold the other party for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only keep one eye closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you think about the Apocalypse just now?” Reneedol asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially dangerous” Scarlet replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And that was only the beginning, so if that [Siming] wanted us to state even more connections between ourselves, we’d be in a lot of trouble” Shroud added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing Shan was about to state his opinion, he saw glowing lines of text appearing in front of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These glowing text flashed a bit, then turned bloody red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan immediately became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———the War God UI very rarely changes the color of its text, the only time it would do so was to draw his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lines of bloody red text appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attention!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attention!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your remaining time of survival is rapidly decreasing]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Apocalypse: Siming had deceived the System, as well as this world itself]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In 27 minutes, that Apocalypse will descend again]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Compared to the previous time, it will ask for one more connection between all living beings—– don’t ask me why I know, I’ll deduct 200,000 Soul Points from you now]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stay cautious!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It clearly said 12 hours, and yet the time had been reduced to 20-odd minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fraudulent Apocalypse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if I think about it carefully, the Apocalypse’s goal is to end the life of all living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did I ever think that it couldn’t deceive people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timer on the War God UI had also changed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[00:26:59]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[00:26:58]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[00:26:57]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts rapidly moved, but his tone was as calm and collected as normal:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shroud, you’re right, we should quickly form even more connections to avoid being killed the next time [Siming] arrives” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shroud nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol thought briefly and also thought that this was urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But then, how should we form more connections?” Scarlet asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan replied: “A connection between two people can also be called a relation, it’s a basic tool for communication and forming relationships, as well as a representation of status”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But then, how many connections could there be between people?” Scarlet asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shroud counted: “Fellow disciples, friends, brothers, what else are there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol pondered: “Parents and child is also one kind of connection”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s also lovers, couples, spouses” Scarlet added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan added: “The difference between friends and brothers is too blurry, there’s a possibility that it’ll be considered the same one”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Generally speaking, lovers, couples, and spouses can all be considered the same relation” Reneedol commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do we need to be general?” Scarlet asked confusedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because the goal of [Siming] is to end all things, we can’t rely on it giving us loopholes” Shroud explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol and Gu Qing Shan both nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was indeed the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against this unknown entity, one must discard all wishful thinking to avoid falling into a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There aren’t that many relations between us, this is quite troublesome” Reneedol scowled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone also fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were fellow disciples, which can also be considered friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what else was there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t any other relations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shroud turned to Reneedol and asked: “Then, can you be my girlfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!” Reneedol smiled in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet pondered: “In that case, there would be three layers of connections among the two of you, which are fellow disciples of the World Valley, a couple, and friends”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan refuted: “No, I think that the couples and friends connections cannot exist at once, because between male and female, you can only be friends or a couple, [Siming] will definitely draw a clear line”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I also think Shroud and I only have two layers of connections” Reneedol replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan thought briefly before saying: “Then, I can teach you how to cook right now, the three of you would become my cooking disciples, while I become your cooking teacher”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can this be considered a connection?” Scarlet asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, we will have formed a master-disciple relationship, one side teaches and the other side studies, it would naturally be considered a connection” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol, Shroud, and Scarlet exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re friends, but also master and disciple? That doesn’t feel right” Shroud hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps it doesn’t matter how you actually study?” Scarlet nervously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’ll teach you very seriously, and you must also seriously study, don’t depend on being able to gloss things over in front of [Siming]” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that a lot of trouble? Perhaps we should try something else?” Scarlet asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan glanced at the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-There are only 25 minutes left until [Siming] descends again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged: “Then you guys can try and think of something——- as long as you have any practical skills, talents, jobs, or ability, I can learn it from you as well”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than growing stronger and fighting, what can I actually do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a very real question that makes a person clearly perceive themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit of silence, Reneedol said: “If that can really form a connection, I don’t mind being your disciple, but only limited to studying cooking”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t teach you my other skills even if you wanted to learn” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no problem with that” Shroud followed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too” Scarlet said as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let me teach you the first lesson in cooking right now” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them focused their attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took out a basic chef’s knife and showed it to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pay attention, this is a knife for cutting meat and vegetables, everyone take a look at it”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cleaver was passed between each of them to examine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you cut meat?” Scarlet\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan casually cut off a tree branch, handed it to Reneedol, then said: “You can try it first. Following the vein of the branch, pay attention to keep the cuts at similar thickness each time”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s simple” Reneedol said as she took the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seriously began cutting a tree branch while Gu Qing Shan, Shroud, and Scarlet watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Grand Elder returned, that was what he saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his eyes, almost unable to believe what he was saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is cutting a tree branch with a knife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” the Grand Elder asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan casually replied: “We’re forming connections—— let’s see what kind of ingredients the Grand Elder had brought back; it would make it easier to show you guys on the spot as well”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When speaking of cooking ingredients, the Grand Elder didn’t bother asking further and took out a bunch of random rationed grains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——there are still 11 hours until [Siming] descends again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more important thing right now is... to have a fulfilling meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A group of pixies were moving, so I took a bit of their ration” the Grand Elder explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan checked the ingredients, rolled up his sleeves, then began to form the grain into long and thin pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll now show you how to make noodles” he told the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wouldn’t it be better to fry these rations?” Scarlet asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re both about the same, but I’m better at noodles” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-don’t be ridiculous, I still have a lot of questions to ask this Grand Elder, so a bowl of noodles is definitely on the menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s skills were naturally undisputable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bottle of noodles was swiftly finished for the Grand Elder to clean out in record time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s delicious, so really delicious”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder held onto his bowl even after he finished, unwilling to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan turned around and told Scarlet: “You can take Shroud as your older brother, that’s also one relation”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, how come I didn’t think of that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet turned to Shroud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then from now on, we’re brother and sister, I’ve always wanted a younger sister” Shroud smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet called out: “Older brother”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, sister” Shroud replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan turned to Reneedol and said: “I’m older than you——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol turned away and told Scarlet: “How about I take you as my younger sister as well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure” Scarlet looked at Gu Qing Shan and giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan appeared helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze moved towards the timer on the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shroud, Scarlet, and Reneedol now each have three connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s heart started beating faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so little time, would my plans be feasible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently simulated it in this mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Grand Elder asked: “What kind of connections did you form with Rhode?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cooking master and disciples” Reneedol replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder looked at Gu Qing Shan and praised: “That is a good connection”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan continued: “Grand Elder, how about I learn a combat skill from you, this way we’d be able to form a master-disciple relationship as well”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder agreed after a bit of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Siming] is too terrifying, I really should prepare some connections ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and asked: “What do you want to learn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How to improve the power of my attacks” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder pondered for a bit, then said: “This isn’t a good place to learn that, let’s find a more open place where we can unleash large-scale attacks”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four minutes left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder told the others: “Everyone rest here, we’re going to return very soon”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, we’ll try to think about any other connections we might have” Reneedol replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder nodded and brought Gu Qing Shan into the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About three minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stopped in the middle of a desolate empty field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, we won’t cause any unwanted collateral damage here even if we unleash large-scale attacks” the Grand Elder said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked at him and suddenly asked: “Wind Deity took over Atley, but he was killed by the Apocalypse, will he revive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[See you once again] was activated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder’s expression became blank and answered: “Only Reneedol can resurrect, we’re all powerful enough to not be killed, but if something could really kill us, we would cease to exist”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder regained his senses without realizing what had happened and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rhode, let us discuss something”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is there to discuss?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you are willing to persuade Scarlet to accept the covenant of Flames, I’ll teach you the most advanced destructive spells” the Grand Elder told him with a solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if I refuse to persuade her?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder shook his head: “Then I can only teach you something crude—— this is only for the sake of forming a connection”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five seconds left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: “No need”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countless stars in the sky abruptly gave off blinding light once again.\u003C\u002Fp>",2212,"2026-06-09T03:05:55.795Z",1,"novelbin.me","4adc42e10d7990a4fca79fd0168182e88764f6c6305297c0fb623942a4af63d2","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-1464","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-1462",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
