Somebody tampered with your clan’s history, if someone managed to pull out this sword, they would immediately summon those monsters and become one of their allies”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“WHAT!?” the king was horrified, but then quickly realized something: “If that’s the case, then the many artifacts of this nature across the land were all of the devils’ scheme?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If artifacts are the only thing that remains, by getting rid of them one by one, there would eventually be a day when all of them are cleaned up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was thinking, lines of bloody red text suddenly popped up in front of his vision:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve witnessed the real circumstances of this world]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Samsara might want to inform you of something, prepare yourself, its will is descending—-]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around him vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world became void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the middle of endless nothingness, Gu Qing Shan suddenly sensed a grand consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sensation was the same as when he communicated with the spirits of myriad incomplete worlds in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before, compared to the world spirits he’d seen in the past, the Samsara’s will was much grander and more overwhelming, incalculable and incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an analogy might be made, the past incomplete world spirits were like insects and worms, while the Samsara’s will felt like boundless space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time went by, thoughts began to form in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood what the Samsara was trying to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lines of bloody red text swiftly followed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Samsara is issuing you a request:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Corruption Sequence has corroded two layers of the Human realm graves, the first is the low-level Magic-type world you’re in, the second is a mid-level Magic-type world]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please expel the corrosion of Corruption from these two Human realm graves]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[—-You’ve temporarily gained the ability to travel between these two worlds]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attention: Very few Chosen Saints can draw the direct attention of the Samsara, please seize your chance well]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Once you succeed, you will surely be well rewarded]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lines of bloody red text suddenly flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boundless emptiness around Gu Qing Shan gradually faded away, replaced by various scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found himself standing on the street of a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous people were walking in both directions of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a highly prosperous city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two lines of text hovered in the void of space:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve arrived at a mid-level Magic-type world]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You can return to the low-level Magic-type world at any time]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan scanned his eyes across the text and couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I need to deal with the Corruption issue in two separate Magic-type worlds at once, this really is difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked along the busy street and stopped in front of a restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was currently the lunch rush, and this restaurant seemed to be quite popular, as there were almost no seats left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help himself from entering as he sat in front of a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A waitress swiftly arrived at his table and placed a menu in front of him, asking: “Welcome, what would you like to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan examined the menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see that the menu was filled with many exotic dishes that he had never tasted before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arbitrarily chose a few of them and handed the menu back to the waitress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitress then pulled several Cards out of thin air and laid them on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Corruption is the foundation of civilization”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof poof poof poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cards instantly vanished, replaced by the dishes that Gu Qing Shan had ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enjoy your meal”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitress respectfully bowed, and then left him to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stared down at the steaming hot delicacies in front of him in utter shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until a few moments later that he picked up his utensils and used them to sift his food around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, no issues... the Cards only acted as a means of storing food...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself, then began to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food didn’t taste bad, but Gu Qing Shan’s attention wasn’t focused on the cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was paying attention to the waitresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time these girls served the customers’ orders, they would recite a chant, sometimes it would be ‘Corruption exists with you’, other times, it would be ‘Thank the True God for granting us food’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More often than not, the customers would also reply to these chants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a little bit, Gu Qing Shan gradually lost his appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually used magic to manifest a few coins, placed them on the table, then left the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you like a ride?” someone asked him as he walked through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan paused briefly and replied: “Sure”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where would you like to go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s my first time here, I’d like to go sightseeing around the city”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I could tell that you weren’t a local, so you were a tourist as expected—— I can be your guide around our beautiful city, free of charge”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re welcome, praise the Corruption Codex”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man smiled as he drew a Card from his pocket and tossed it on the road next to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hovering horse carriage appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sat down on the coachman seat in front, then gestured to Gu Qing Shan: “Please go ahead and sit inside”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan embarked and firmly sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage began to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned on the window and silently observed the scenery outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—-in this city, everyone was used to using magic in the form of Cards for many aspects of their daily lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan even saw several stores that placed Cards of various kinds in their display window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever people would greet one another, they would first say something to praise the Corruption Sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, by focusing his mind as the horse carriage rode across a school, Gu Qing Shan managed to hear a teacher explaining the world’s history, in which the role of Corruption had been exaggerated to extreme ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the city center, several merchants had just walked out of the city lord’s manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They praised: “The city lord’s Corruption Arts are getting more profound day by day, being able to promote trade to this degree”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, his understanding of Corruption is far deeper compared to ours”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Highly respectable”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse carriage rode past the merchants and continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a bit further ahead of them was the Divine Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——similar to the low-level Magic-type world, this was also a Church belonging to the Corruption Sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were gathered around the main square of the church, openly singing gospels of praise to the True God of Corruption for blessing them with a good life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the graveyard behind the church, a funeral was being conducted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The holy father recited: “—And his body shall return to rot, while his soul belong to Corruption”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone loudly cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family members of the dead appeared glad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse carriage continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan felt more and more uneasy as he watched on, finally unable to help himself: “Stop for a moment”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse carriage slowly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong, sir?” the coachman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that a bookstore over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help me buy a few books, anything related to history and military will be fine, preferably some bestsellers” Gu Qing Shan casually used magic to condense some mana silver coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, please wait a few moments”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coachman swiftly bought the books and brought them back to Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the carriage, several books were hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan, quickly flipping through their pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about 5 minutes, he had finished reading all of its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The books fell down by themselves and neatly lined up on a small table next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered: “To this degree, it’s even more terrifying compared to the previous world...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but feel a chill on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t bat an eyelid regardless of how gory or horrible a battle would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the current circumstances were making him shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sense of terror was even heavier compared to him having to face two Unfathomable Apocalypses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—-Corruption had thoroughly integrated itself into the heart of every person, turning into a value that they all recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single person in this world, from generation to generation, followed the will of Corruption as they lived their daily lives, matured, and built their civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From birth to death, everyone respected it, maintained it, and revered it without being told to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——because Corruption was their civilization, it taught all the people here how to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These living beings willingly gave everything to Corruption, the thought of retaliating against the will of Corruption didn’t even exist in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A cultural invasion? No... the invasion has already succeeded...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a thorough distortion of civilization”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan sighed full of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world is even more prosperous compared to the previous low-level Magic-type world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worldview and beliefs of living beings here have been thoroughly set in stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How exactly should I do this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to convince them is useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murder can eliminate the living beings, but not their beliefs——- they essentially are part of the Corruption faction already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is more terrifying compared to the Apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Apocalypse only kills people, sometimes a few, sometimes a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the process of destruction, living beings would inevitably struggle, risking their lives to retaliate, even attempting to overcome the Apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Corruption doesn’t kill anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only alters everything and turns all living beings into its servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—–so that they worship it as a God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, he told the coachman to stop again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are you feeling, would you like to continue riding, sir?” the coachman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is fine, thank you” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disembarked from the carriage, made his way into a secluded alley, then took flight while there wasn’t anyone around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next while, he visited each of the countries he saw in the books to personally examine their circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything wasn’t too different from how the history books described them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly speaking, such a conclusion could be drawn right now:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world’s sky, earth, and all of its resources belonged to the Samsara, but its living beings already belonged to the Corruption faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——this was a world belonging to the Corruption Sequence!\u003C\u002Fp>",1828,"2026-06-09T03:06:15.124Z",1,"novelbin.me","19db172db1ad8f5a484b231b065ce74b90087ce802fb687e79a74b86462f8899","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-1820","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-1781",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
