To the camp?” Gu Qing Shan looked up in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane flapped its wings, confirming: “That’s right, let me bring you back, don’t worry, since I’m your spirit beast, I’ll make sure that you come back safely”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well” Gu Qing Shan contemplated for a bit, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried his best to stand up, barely able to throw himself onto the crane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sit tight” Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane advised him as it spreads both wings and flew high up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its wings, two flaming clouds appeared, drawing two red lines in the sky, extremely pleasing to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane flew very fast, passed through numerous mountains and rivers in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this speed, they only need a few hours to reach the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t we flying too high up?” Gu Qing Shan looked down and asked with a weak voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no problem, with my speed, no demon will be able to catch up, not to mention, the quicker we return, the quicker you can get fixed up” Flame=cloud Chasing Sky Crane explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine” Gu Qing Shan said, “then please fly as stable as possible”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just go to sleep for a bit, we’ll reach there when you wake up” Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane nodded in agreement and slightly slowed down, flying more stably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane was flying higher and higher, while Gu Qing Shan had already closed his eyes, seemingly unaware of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few dozen seconds, the Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane had already reached so high that Gu Qing Shan’s protective light already couldn’t fight back against the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t we flying too high?” Gu Qing Shan finally opened his eyes, looked around and once again asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane this time didn’t answer him, instead focused on flying higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too high, it’s too cold” Gu Qing Shan shivered as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It won’t matter how cold it is” Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane finally replied, “because you’re going to die”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, it suddenly turned it body and Gu Qing Shan rolled off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human cultivators need to reach at least Golden Core realm to fly and be able to control an airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator, dropping down from this height, Gu Qing Shan will die without a doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing, catch me quickly!” Gu Qing Shan loudly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, the screaming wind covered Gu Qing Shan as his body turned into a blurred figure, free-falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane on the other hand, didn’t immediately leave after dropping him and instead followed his descent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes had a mocking look, while its voice had already changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Humans, so weak, yet so delectable』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was obviously not Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane’s voice, but a clear and ringing female voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Gu Qing Shan shouted in horror: “My Shifu is a Saint, you dare treat me like this, she’ll flay you piece by piece, skin you alive, capture and torture your soul for eternity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane showed fright in its eyes, but was quickly replaced by cruelty and triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Tomorrow will be the decisive battle, nevermind you, even your Shifu isn’t going to live much ——–』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it was talking without hiding anything, strong spirit energy waves suddenly spread in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit energy wave seems to come from that brat, but it’s probably only for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it clearly felt like Foundation Establishment late stage spirit energy density, only one step below itself at Golden Core early stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the brat is clearly very heavily wounded, he couldn’t even pick up his sword before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——–even if the brat was hiding his strength, Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane wasn’t the least bit afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was the sky, this was its home ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even other flying-type beasts couldn’t catch up to it, what’s a human cultivator going to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane felt its vision blurred, then the free-falling figure disappeared, there was only the open sky and earth left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spreads its wings, about to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then an intense pain came together with a numbing sensation all over its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane was twitching non-stop; it couldn’t even flap its wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its entire body was shocked; it is unable to control its body at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t even circulate spirit energy inside its beast core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second passed very quick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white crescent sword slash illuminated the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a strike that gathered all of Gu Qing Shan’s spirit energy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long crane neck was severed from its body, then millions of extremely fine threads made of sword qi started moving about in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few seconds, the countless threads of sword qi had chopped up the beast so finely it couldn’t be recognized anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane’s corpse was turned into a mass of blood mist, soaking the air red, then was blown away by the fierce wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky returned to its natural bluish hue. It was as if the battle just now never happened and is nothing more than a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Golden Core realm spirit beast, killed in such a ridiculous way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, War God UI showed a notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have perfectly completed two assassinations, killing targets that are stronger than yourself. Please try your best to complete three perfect assassinations and earn the corresponding title]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm? There’s also something like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked at it in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War God title is a very useful thing to have, just now, to kill the two spirit beast, he was using the title Skill of [Xiao Qi Chaplain] ———[Quick Attack].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should know, a cultivator’s method of attack is simply using overwhelming speed and power to kill their opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s sword was already fast, but that speed was buffed even further with the title’s Skill, making for very terrifying fighting strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both battles ended without the giant moth or Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane being able to dodge the very first full power strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan checked his Soul Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing a Foundation Establishment peak giant moth and a Golden Core early stage Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane, together with what he got from killing the two Burrowing Demon Pythons, his current Soul Points reached 300!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking the cool down period for using Soul Points to comprehend cultivation scriptures, it’s already half-done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War God UI’s style is the exact same as before, always encouraging the user to enter battle with stronger and stronger foes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now there’s something more important at hand, Gu Qing Shan have to put this off for another time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stowing away his sword, Gu Qing Shan could already draw a conclusion to his investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since things have reached this point, he made the choice very decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-it’s time to begin the preparations for the upcoming decisive battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clasping his hand into a speaker-like shape, he shouted: “Come save me quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice transmitted very far despite the screaming wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a few hundred feet away, a silently drifting cloud was suddenly parted by a golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden light turned into a figure and quickly appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it stopped, the golden figure turns out to be a graceful girl wearing golden armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven’s Limit sect’s Saintess, a You Ji General of the Humanity Cultivation Alliance army, Ning Yue Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She caught Gu Qing Shan, followed his fall for a little bit more before slowly lifting him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened just now? Why did you kill your mount so suddenly?” she frowned and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll explain later, right now there’s something urgent I must do”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, Gu Qing Shan took out a communication talisman and reported everything from start to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she listened to what he said, Ning Yue Xi’s eyes opened wider and wider, extremely shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his report, Gu Qing Shan let the talisman turned into a flame and flew away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already understood just about everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest lost campaign for humanity in the past life is just about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before everything happened the way it did, nobody could even expect something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until the decisive battle started, when demons and humans were in the middle of their biggest campaign, that “that” happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit beasts betrayed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be serious, the demons had already prepared this since before the game began. The plan has already been hatched since the cultivation world was still at peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t until 7 years into the Apocalypse that the demons suddenly enacted that plan in a carefully calculated battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the spirit beast turned around and attacked humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the situation was the same as what’s happening with humanity’s camps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the camps’ formations started to malfunction, yet they found no traitors, driving morale downward, everyone felt uneasy and the Generals didn’t know what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, when the campaign reached its most pivotal moments, the spirit beast that were originally companions of humanity against the demons, turned their heads and attacked humanity from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan can still feel his heart beating fast whenever he recalled the devastation at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the 3 Saints, Xuanyuan Tianzun, died in this battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the players couldn’t escape from the betrayal of the spirit beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit beasts that were accepted by the System as mounts, as summoned beasts all suddenly turned to attack the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can imagine the shocked expressions of players at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being caught off-guard, the army couldn’t mount any sort of useful resistance, human corpses littered the battlefields after that great battle, humanity as a whole was dealt a devastating blow and had to retreat backwards 3000 miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the demons only had the slightest edge over humanity, meaning there was still a bit of a chance for humanity to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from this campaign onwards, humanity entered a state of prolonging the inevitable, all the way until the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, having the chance to redo everything, having known the truth, he couldn’t possibly let history repeat itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, since it’s only the opening act right now, there’s still time for him to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———for example, taking this chance to hatch a scheme and repay the grudge from the past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Gu Qing Shan, Ning Yue Xi tapped her Inventory Bag and took out an airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the airship, Ning Yue Xi couldn’t help but want to touch her spirit beast bag, but was stopped by Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not time yet” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing so, Ning Yue Xi looked at him and put her hand down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, very true”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yue Xi breathed in deeply, then said: “If it’s really true, then it’s too dangerous”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s dangerous, but it’s also a chance” Gu Qing Shan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The risks are too high, one wrong step and the situation will become irreversible” Ning Yue Xi sighed sorrowfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s what war is, small and scattered battles don’t mean anything, it has to be the final battle for it to matter” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yue Xi scoffed at him: “You’re just a Xiao Qi Chaplain and you want to teach me about war?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her chin up pridefully and straightened her posture on purpose to let Gu Qing Shan see her golden armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intricate golden set of armor is a symbol of status for You Ji Generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but stare at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your figure really is beautiful…” he spoke with a “I have to admit…” tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ning Yue Xi’s face instantly flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked outside the airship and reminded herself that this place is too high, if she threw him out he might die.\u003C\u002Fp>",2008,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","543cbb23743f90a049f62b1a968dbf70bca2b2eb135fd366a34494652ec4b366","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-154","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-152",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
