Arya\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took out the 7-colored fragrance bag, penetrated it with his inner sight to search for an Ascended realm scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit energy disturbance from him breaking through a realm has already settled down, so it’s already time for him to breakthrough to Ascended middle stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the 7-colored fragrance bag, a lot of things were randomly thrown everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the scriptures and materials for his, Qin Xiao Lou and Xiu Xiu’s cultivation were neatly lined up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took out a certain thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jade tag with the character ‘Shan’ written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He infused it with spirit energy to hear Bai Hua Fairy’s voice coming from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Choosing an Ascended realm scripture is exceptionally important. It’s directly related to how difficult it will be to breakthrough to Sainted realm”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing Shan, this Green Dragon Ascension Script is one that I picked out for you after contemplating for a very long time”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As far as I know, there were ever only 37 cultivators lucky enough to obtain this scripture, 9 of which were able to advance to Sainted realm, while 6 of them were either sword cultivators or martial cultivators”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I myself once studied this script and confirmed that is truly is very suitable for sword cultivators to use”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing Shan, make sure you cultivate this script carefully, since this will greatly benefit your prospects of becoming Sainted”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice went away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s lips curled up slightly into a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this life, the best decision he ever made was to enter Bai Hua sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Hua Fairy Xie Dao Ling treats her disciples like she does her own family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, she is also one of the people that I have to protect no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his inner sight, Gu Qing Shan very quickly read through the jade tag from start to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a notification popped up on the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Discovered cultivation scripture: Green Dragon Ascension Script]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To completely comprehend this script, you will need to spend 200 Soul Points, would you like to spend it?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm flow came from the jade tag into his arm, washed over his body before settling at his Thought Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few moments, Gu Qing Shan had fully comprehended “Green Dragon Ascension Script”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes and seriously restudied each and every step of the script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming everything was correct, Gu Qing Shan took out a top-tier Spirit Replenishing Pill and swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then began his breakthrough to Ascended realm middle stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fully comprehending the script, he was basically the same as an Ascended realm late stage cultivator who discarded his cultivation to start over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only revisiting the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was past midnight, the light on Gu Qing Shan’s body shone brightly, illuminating the room like it was daytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night passed, the first few rays of sunlight appeared from the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light illuminating from Gu Qing Shan’s body slowly came back into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s now Ascended middle stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, regardless if it’s his cultivation or swordsmanship, he’s already far surpassed the peak of his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I breakthrough to Ascended realm late stage now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan contemplated carefully before giving up on the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the next realm is Sainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear border of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless cultivators are stuck at Ascended, unable to breakthrough to Sainted for their entire lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this point, since he’s only just broken through, his spirit energy is still a bit unstable, his body has also yet to get used to the power wielded by an Ascended middle stage, so it’s very easy for him to injure himself accidentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better to wait for it to stabilize completely before he tries to breakthrough again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sir, it’s time for breakfast, please take this time to eat and ensure your body receives enough nutrients] Impartial Goddess’ voice came from the Holo-Brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, please arrange a shuttle for me, I’ll leave for Fuxi after breakfast to watch Empress Varona’s coronation”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Be assured, your shuttle has been readied]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven Holy Apostles all knelt down on one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven divine columns of light emitted from their bodies, concentrating in one place to form a blinding pillar of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Holy Church was enveloped in this divine light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person appeared on the Holy Church’s throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A looming pair of wings on their back, a glowing halo floating above their head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pure white robe and a thin veil that hides their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope has returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly sat down on the throne and spoke: “Unless it’s an emergency, I had forbade all contact, I’m sure you all know of this”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven Holy Apostles nodded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope sighed as she looked as them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like something did happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, I can only travel around the ocean of corpses, unable to enter Fog Isle again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I won’t accept that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve prepared so much, wasted so much effort, only to be pushed by a little girl to such a desperate situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detestable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I haven’t truly lost yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little girl must be a person from this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to think of a way to find her in Reality and kill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she’s dead, the System will naturally return to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for now, let’s see what situation here is first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then asked: “Very well, if you knew that and still called me back, tell me what exactly happened”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Confederate military officer that caused a scene at Madame Punta’s banquet has thoroughly escaped our findings” Great Holy Apostle Hurt reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope’s faint questioning voice came: “Only that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurt knew that she was about to reach the point of anger, so he hurriedly: “That’s not it, this world itself has a problem, hell is upon us”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hell?” the Pope repeated that, a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, a Frozen Hell” Hurt exhaled slightly and confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then recounted everything that has happened recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope sat in silence for a while before sighing: “The Fuxi Emperor, truthfully I understand his choice, but unfortunately he chose the wrong person to pledge to”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So hell has a problem…” the Pope muses about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned her cheek on her palm and fell into contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like I really did have to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation on this side is changing so rapidly that I have to deal with it myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s impossible for this world’s power level to fight against hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I might have to leave sooner than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I spent so much time building all this, do I have to let it go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at the church hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright, spacious large hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of zealous, absolutely loyal subordinates that she had just raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight shone on the tinted glass, illuminating the solemn sanctuary with a holy image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent, warm, everything is in order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the church, but the country itself now belongs to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s so wasteful to leave right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I spent so much effort to obtain this body, take over this church, this country, and now I have to run?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, I had just been chased out from Fog Isle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having to drift through space without a destination is a horrible experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having to drift between the worlds is even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope stood up, clasping her hands behind her back and paced back and forth in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, the most important thing is that little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she returns to this world, I will have to find and kill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she dies, I might still be able to overturn this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I can’t discard this world yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what I’ve seen, nobody knows exactly what happened to hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the situation isn’t clear, if I leave like this, the price will be too heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe there’s only a small problem in Huang Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the anomalies from hell will be dealt with very soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s temporarily wait and see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope spoke after a while: “Varona is being coronated as Empress?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, please see the screen, your holiness”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, Hurt projected a screen broadcasting the ceremony in a luxurious palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fuxi’s capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The royal palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Emperor’s coronation ceremonies, Varona was escorted by guards, riding a chariot led by 8 horses to head for the Empire’s Holy Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the church, the Bishop as well as numerous important officials of the Empire and other countries were gathered for the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona was wearing a deep red royal cape, holding the royal scepter in one hand with a golden apple in the other, representing the reign of the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was currently professing her solemn oath to the statue of the sleeping death god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I represent the good of all our citizens, for the sake of the Empire’s happiness and safety, I swear…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, the Pope spoke up in intrigue: “How interesting”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empire’s Holy Church was something the Fuxi Emperor built before they married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his proposal gift to marry Varona from the Medici clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona Medici used to be a Cardinal when she was younger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To impress her, the Fuxi Emperor had announced that he would dedicate a Great Church to the Holy Church in the center of the Fuxi capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This represents the Holy Empire, as well as Varona’s faith in the Holy Empire’s Holy Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean the current Holy Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope silently thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, she was able to obtain this body because something happened to the original owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was purely due to a stroke of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, when she obtained the body, the original Pope was already nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I didn’t have any memories at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the screen, Varona was kneeling deeply in front of the sleeping death god, performance a sacred rite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will go on for white a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope’s gaze dashed around before settling on the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sleeping death god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that the death god watches over the Medici clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from all the worlds I’ve travelled to, no such monster is called that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally I wanted to slowly look into this after I took over the royal authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, nothing of note came up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only found two things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the death god truly did exist in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, it is now sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what IS the death god?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does the Medici clan worship it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knows the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that only the Holy Empire’s king, as well as the true Pope knows about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that can prove its existence is one of Death’s Relic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life Exchanging Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Empire’s royal line passed this item onto Anna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve already put quite a few people out, but none managed to catch Anna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about that, the Pope’s mood instantly became worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Varona invite us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She did”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope’s expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman isn’t simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve killed pretty much every member of the Medici clan, yet she still invited me to her coronation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does she think I wouldn’t dare to attack her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No… she definitely has something else in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like I’ll have to stay on this world for a while without neglecting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope casually asked: “Fuxi’s banquet will be held at noon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, your holiness”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope stood up: “All of you come with me, I want to know what Fuxi and the Confederate is planning”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roger, the shuttle has been prepared, awaiting your orders at any time, your holiness” Hurt respectfully bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, I want to know just how exactly does Varona plan to confront me” the Pope scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the coronation on the screen one last time, feeling a bit annoyed without knowing why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sort of overwhelming power wafted around the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turn it off, nothing to see” the Pope ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re leaving”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven Holy Apostles all stood up, about to make way for the Pope to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On her way down, the Pope suddenly stopped her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something isn’t right, and this isn’t me” she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your holiness, what’s the matter?” Hurt asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lighting, Yin, Yang, Sound, all the 10 Elements are erupting, they’re filled with malice”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope carefully sense around, then her face changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shouted: “Quickly! Order everyone to their stations, it’s an enemy attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven Apostles all took out their Holo-Brain to order their subordinates accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From out of nowhere, small sounds of explosions could be heard from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope waved her hand as 10 cards appeared from the void of space and fell into her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke solemnly: “Let us go see which ‘great one’ is upon us”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurt smirked coldly: “So someone dares to cause a scene at the Holy Empire’s capital, I want to —–“\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire roof of the Holy Church was blown away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous colorful lights floated in midair, almost as if dancing around in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>",2244,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","22fa62ff2061f8b6516ea02161fa7e4c8a9e10896572958611c73f0f4af33f67","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-356","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-354",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
