Cambrian civilization——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve never heard of the existence of such a civilization before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I originally thought that the Samsara great tomb only entombed the participants from the previous Samsara Clash for Supremacy or the previous tomb guardians…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, the information I obtained at the time suggested that most of the ‘things’ that swapped souls with people in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts were once tomb guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-and from what I now know, the rest might be from lost civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering this matter, Gu Qing Shan continued to head forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wasn’t long before he stopped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie had already flown ahead of him and was now hovering in front of a random location on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take a look here, the decorative patterns on this wall are very nice, it’s full of other-worldly style!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, no need to look at a brick for too long, we still have official business” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie glared at him: “This wall’s brick was made very intricately, I can’t just sit back and watch it being wasted away in a place like this”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie then pulled out his short stick and tried to pry the brick off the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-even after he went red from exerting his strength, the wall remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie appeared irritated and waved his stick while shouting: “Bubalabu, I order you to come off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop pop pop pop pop——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the bricks on the entire wall began to detach and neatly lined themselves up on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie waved his stick again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brick with the beautiful patterns flew out by itself and landed in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man happily examined his brick before turning his attention to the other bricks, muttering under his breath: “… Toilet… flooring…” and various other things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——–eventually, the old pixie put all the bricks away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an observer, Gu Qing Shan really didn’t know what to say except: “Oi, I’m sure you can only use one ability while you’re here—— didn’t you only retain one Quipcraft?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which Quipcraft did I retain?” the old pixie glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“[Playing Dirty]” Gu Qing Shan shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie patted his shoulder and amicably answered: “That’s right, I threw a tantrum and played dirty, so I was able to retain a few more Quipcrafts—— all to help you, my dear brother Gu”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I see” Gu Qing Shan muttered with an understanding tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them continued to head deeper into the tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hanging lights, decorative wall bricks, stair railings, stone benches, ceramic bowls, candlesticks, and pretty much everything else on their way were all taken by the old pixie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing Shan turned around, the only thing he could see now was a literal empty passageway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they even finished exploring, this tomb had already been stripped bare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of spirit is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, even pixies don’t usually pillage every single last thing they are able to” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those descendants don’t know anything about living sparingly and managing their assets, but I’m not like them, I’m their ancestor!” the old pixie perked up his chin and boastfully declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was speechless once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them continued forward for a short while until they reached a spacious open square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The square was relatively empty with only a single black door that stood erect at the very center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie flew around the door to examine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah… such an ancient Phase Realm door, how rare” he said with an intrigued tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So there’s a Phase Realm on the other side?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie waved his stick to shoot off a Quipcraft towards the black door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk, 300 million years of history——– this door has been sealed for a very, very long time, there shouldn’t be any living thing inside”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan walked up to the door, but didn’t try to touch the doorknob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Spirit Sense was faintly warning him about something——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This door was giving him an ominous sensation, almost as if something terrifying would happen if he disturbed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan became even more cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a few steps back and turned to the old pixie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see that the old pixie had narrowed his eyes while mumbling something, as if to carefully evaluate the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You pixies must have researched these strange and unusual objects a lot, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re correct” the old pixie clapped his hands and gave him a thumbs up: “Curiosity is one of the foundational driving forces for the pixie civilization—– is what I always tell my descendants”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true, you are the pixie ancestor after all; so you should know how to enter this door” Gu Qing Shan commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie froze briefly before answering: “Gimme a second—— there’s actually something quite dangerous about this door, if we try to forcefully open it or use any destructive spells on it, a huge problem would occur”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie tilted his head in thought for a while before searching his fanny pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he pulled out a small dirty rag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the rag was pulled out, a strange mixture of odor started spreading in the air. It was a mix of cake, BBQ, foot soap, chocolate, booger, and sweat of various kinds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie covered his hands with the dirty rag before trying to turn the doorknob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cl-clack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black door opened without a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside was completely dim without anything noteworthy being visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie sighed in relief and began to wipe the sweat off his forehead with the dirty rag before speaking: “The oldest gate-opening technique, combined with us pixie’s [Playing Dirty] technique—— without any of them, this door wouldn’t have opened”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive!” Gu Qing Shan praised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Gu Qing Shan, you can go in now, I’ll guard the door here” the old pixie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You aren’t coming in?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, two lines of bloody red text had appeared in the void of space:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Door of True Inspection has opened]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attention, this door will only open once and allow entry to only a single individual before it is completely destroyed]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the old pixie explained: “Only one person can enter this door, and since I came here to help you, I won’t take this quota”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, the old pixie took out a small carving knife and began to carefully scrape off the layer of gold gilding on the doorknob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to be rich…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old pixie put the gold into his fanny pack and smiled so brightly that his face was full of wrinkles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan shrugged and said: “Then wait here for me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gloomy atmosphere from before quickly faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan now found himself standing inside a high steeple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There existed nothing but white structures outside of this steeple that took up space from where he was standing until the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfamiliar fluctuations could be felt radiating upwards from the ground, isolating the fluttering wind and snow outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If this Phase Realm has been activated, then our civilization must have truly been eradicated]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice spoke up from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see a man with a crown and scepter standing a bit further away from where he was, silently observing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you communicate with me?” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man didn’t seem to have heard Gu Qing Shan as he simply continued: [The civilization of our Cambrian world can only be inherited by our future descendants, any others who attempt to peek into our history would only be rejected]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[After all… the rise of our civilization was indeed strange]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We don’t want to bring trouble to others]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[After all… the sole reason why we were able to breed, foster, build our society, and develop our civilization… was thanks to those things buried under our feet]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man waved the scepter in his hand, seemingly to vent some sort of stress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[During the most recent 700 years, we’ve gradually been able to realize our standing—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Indeed…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Like parasites, we live by sponging off the surface of that great tomb]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We attempted to unearth that tomb, managing to build our civilization from the tiny bits of energy and the little excerpts of knowledge that leaked from inside]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[After 200 years, our environment gradually became more ferocious, causing our world to slowly fall to ruin…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We also tried to excavate more of the tomb like our lives depended on it, hoping to obtain more resources for survival, but unfortunately…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We were far too shallow, unable to reach the requirements of the great tomb, unable to unearth any new resource to prevent our destruction]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[And so, we finally drew a conclusion]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s expression displayed a heavy sense of sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That in fact, there was nobody who cared about us or our civilization]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Our civilization was an accident]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[——An unexpected product of this tomb]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man lowered his body and gently placed the scepter in front of Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is a map of the great tomb, a map that took our entire civilization thousands of years of excavation to complete]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[——It shows the way to the entrance of the great tomb]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That’s right, after thousands of years, we only managed to draw a set of maps that led to the entrance of the great tomb]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s expression now displayed self-deprecation and deep sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ridiculous, isn’t it?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[But this was the extent of what we managed to do after exerting the entire power of our civilization]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…This is the only thing we can leave for our descendants]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Take it]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining this, the man remained motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire steeple, even the world itself fell into stasis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——as if everything had ended right at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tomb?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaked energy contained inside a tomb was enough to create a whole civilization?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several thousand years of development, even at the cusp of its destruction, that civilization still couldn’t open the tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…What a sorrowful and unbelievable history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan silently sighed and stepped forward to pick up the scepter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, lines of bloody red text appeared in front of his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve obtained a map]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is the map that directs the way to the Human realm Initial Grave]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It will lead you to the seventh entrance of the Human realm Initial Grave]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attention!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Due to this discovery, a portion of your strength is about to be unsealed]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Special note:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Following this trail, you will face true danger; but as you are a Chosen Saint who joined half-way through, you still cannot use any swords; otherwise, you will immediately regain all of your strength and get kicked out of this Clash]\u003C\u002Fp>",1876,"2026-06-09T03:06:15.124Z",1,"novelbin.me","84d8b24ba1c83d7b1f5fc2836bab366ad1328796f88f5bc4d15544519ec8c95f","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-1772","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-1814",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
