Then get the fuck away from me! 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s more like it. Actually I also don’t want to keep pursuing you to death, it’s better if we don’t ever meet again after this” Gu Qing Shan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that managed to calm the black cloaked skeleton’s emotions a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinded his teeth: 「 We had better not.

I’m only a dead person, how would I travel freely between the hells? 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 I’ll tell you right now, I actually don’t know the situation of the other hells 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan caught on to a clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly happened in Huang Quan?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton irritatedly spoke: 「 I can’t tell you what happened in Huang Quan 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? Then you’ll have to wait for my endless pursuit” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton shouted: 「 You can’t kill me! 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll just keep sticking close to ensure you’ll never wake up” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 I can tell you anything else, but definitely not about what happened in Huang Quan 」the black cloaked skeleton tried to compromise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t tell me the truth… why is that?” Gu Qing Shan could feel his determination, so he decided to ask in a different way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“——alright fine, I won’t ask what happened, but I want to know why you can’t tell me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Because if I talk about it, I’ll be found out immediately 」the black cloaked skeleton’s face wasn’t able to hold any kind of expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from his words and tone, Gu Qing Shan could feel fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When speaking about this subject, he started to feel fearful\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you afraid of? A dead person cannot die, what else could make you this frightened…” Gu Qing Shan muses over this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he realized something and asked: “Could be it ——-if you talk about what happened in Huang Quan, you might be done for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton hurriedly answered: 「 Permanently done for, no matter who it is, no matter how strong they are, as long as they dare to mention a word of this, they will be truly, erased without a trace 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does this sound so familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A certain image flashed in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large corpse answered: “You had better not know, once my name is spoken, both you and I will be discovered”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then followed with another image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the mountaintop mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 I once hid away in the space vortex for over 10,000 years, but I can’t talk too much about that, lest a Divinity might sense it 」the Earth Sword spoke with its ringing voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan glanced at the black cloaked skeleton and asked: “You are afraid of the Divinity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton looked at Gu Qing Shan in surprise, but stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only stared back at Gu Qing Shan with his two jet black eye sockets\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying silent is also a form of confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His guess was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t say it because he’s afraid of Divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was confused: “Shouldn’t the Divinity be governing the hells of Huang Quan and arranging places for the dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton still said nothing, only stared at Gu Qing Shan and snickered lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That snicker contained a hint of sorrow as well as a lot of sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan noticed the implications of that and continued: “From your expression, I’m guessing Divinities aren’t behind this”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton hung his head and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another silent confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Gu Qing Shan understood, he started to silently thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Quan… Divinity…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, there is definitely something wrong with Huang Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Divinities aren’t responsible for managing the dead people, but he doesn’t know exactly what Divinities do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, due to his fear of the Divinities, the black cloaked skeleton refused to even say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, dead people can revive infinitely in hell to continue receiving the pain and suffering their sins brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dead person can’t die again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what exactly does a dead person fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If what you said is true, Divinities aren’t responsible for dealing with the dead”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself: “Yet the Divinity cause you fear. If a once-undefeated person like you were to feel fear… then the Divinity should…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Stop! Stop right there! Do not say another word! 」 the black cloaked skeleton yelled loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton was panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, you could tell his entire body was trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was feeling fear so great that he couldn’t control his own bodily reflexes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton shook his head repeatedly: 「 You are a frightening living person. I’d rather fall into slumber again or even be pursued by you until the ends of the earth than to keep talking with you 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Too dangerous! It’s too dangerous! Do you not understand! 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton’s tone contained an uncomfortable sense of immense fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke in a low voice: 「 I really made a big mistake, I shouldn’t have tried to think of a way to descend so soon, I should’ve just waited until the Frozen Hell completely manifested on the Human Realm before I went out 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put his big hands on his own neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re already returning?” Gu Qing Shan tried to keep him, “how about we keep talking a bit more? Truthfully, I still have a few questions —–“\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton violently cut him off and screamed in a frenzy: 「 No! I don’t want to say another word, or even show another expression to you! 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared violently: 「 A monster such as you, when the Human Realm completely turns into hell, you won’t even get a chance to enter hell! 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, the black cloaked skeleton twisted his own neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-it had once again fallen into a slumber of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He ran” Gu Qing Shan muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung the Chao Yin Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ocean quickly calmed back down…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Qing Shan’s mentality wasn’t the least bit calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the Human Realm completely turns into hell, you won’t even get a chance to enter hell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he said that was full of fear and fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly happened that a ruling monarch of countless years, who had continued his reign even in hell would show such emotions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked skeleton would rather go back to his slumber than to say anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a dead person, what exactly is he afraid of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can a Divinity kill a dead person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan had a few guesses, but he had no way to confirm them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There simply is too little intelligence, pitifully little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and started contemplating about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems everything is even more frightening than I had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not good, I’ll have to quickly seize the time for the next phase.\u003C\u002Fp>",1468,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","f902162a1255a329374c66129f1f5b22ad79de192c6819734a728d67b5404f19","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-341","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-339",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
