Arya\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s rewind time a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time the Pope had received the call from the Seven Holy Apostles and had just returned to the church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fiendkind had yet to begin their attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fuxi Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empire’s Grand Holy Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona’s grand coronation was taking place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coronation of an Empress was a spectacle for the whole world to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Varona was going to become the first ever ruling Empress of the Fuxi Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every nation had sent their own team of news crew to directly record this historical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the TV announcers were discussing about the late Fuxi Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real reason for his death was purposefully hidden by Varona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either to prevent massive panic or to preserve the honor of the Fuxi Empire, the late Fuxi Emperor was declared killed in action while fighting against the Frozen Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the frost started to spread around the world, the Frozen Hell was no longer a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In despair, riots broke out in many countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rulers of the nations couldn’t help but use Mechs and Professionists to try and uphold the collapsing social order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Fuxi Empire, Empress Varona had given the military the temporarily right to judge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The military judging process was greatly simplified into only two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step one, confirm the truth of the crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step two, executing the criminal on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone across Fuxi, robbers, murderers, vandals and the likes were ‘cleaned up’ completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point in time, it’s been determined that hell was coming for them all, and humans could possibly become extinct in this calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone still dared to use the panic to cause unnecessary strife, they might as well be shot dead before the Apocalypse claimed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days, corpses had littered the streets of Fuxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such extreme measures would of course be met with discontent by a portion of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so a few rebel organizations tried reaching out internationally to pressure Empress Varona from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, they made the wrong choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the entire world, no country even tried to speak up against these actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one tried to criticize Varona’s methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the Apocalypse, any half-decent leader would only seek stability for their own country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaders of such rebel organizations were secretly judged and executed by Varona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, Varona begun a propaganda campaign, to officially ease the people’s minds and give them real-time update of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>News channels begun 24-hour streams reporting detailed updates of the Frozen Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Gu Qing Shan’s suggestion, Varona also captured a few dead people and threw them into cages, letting the citizens view them like zoo animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the start, the viewing venues were packed full of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the existence of the Game of Eternal and the Murder Clown from before, humanity did not feel too panicked at the spread of the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When news become old news, most people found that there wasn’t anything that interesting to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-the reason why so many people were afraid of death is because death is unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knows for sure what death will be like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will they disappear completely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will they gather somewhere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they have an un-living proof in front of their eyes that there is indeed a place to go after death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then death itself was no longer difficult to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people speculated the possible existence of a Heaven or Nirvana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people even began to do charity, hoping for a good life after death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more people did charitable and good deeds, society itself was becoming brighter by the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It got to the point where a random old lady crossing the street might be escorted with a princess carry ——-sometimes by more than one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to that, the Fuxi Empire society that was tethering on the verge of collapse, having been through a baptism of blood and fire, slowly stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, public order in the Fuxi Empire got better compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how effective that was, other countries followed suit, with varying degrees of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona’s fame sky-rocketed, obtaining the support of the majority of large powers in the world and officially settling in her throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was completely different from the past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead people eats people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a known fact, but since dead people only appear from frozen grounds, as long as they’re discovered in time, no big problems arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous teams were formed to locate and collect the dead people, sending them to space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Society’s attitude towards this wasn’t too strong way or another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seems to be changing for the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the way until a certain strange person was discovered within a frozen river in Confederate borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was discovered, he had already broken out of the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He managed to kill a squad of 30 people and sucked their blood dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became incredibly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, a mysterious powerhouse acted and killed him in time, preventing further casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the top brass of humanity received a trustworthy anonymous tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These types of monsters will appear in undetermined numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>World leaders decided to gather on the date of Varona’s coronation at the Fuxi Empire to discuss emergency measures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress’s coronation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by a Bishop of the Holy Church, 12 priests stood around the future Empress, heading out from the grand church hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress headed from the church hall to a tower platform behind the church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This platform was called Gods’ Blessing Grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was considered a most divine location in the Holy Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the platform, the Bishop bestowed the Empress with a golden crown with 12 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This represents the Empress’ coronation to be bestowed by the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests stood up from their seats, following the Empress and the priests towards the tower platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan, Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were also there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them followed the flow of people while whispering to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel like something is off” Ye Fei Li commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which part?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There seems to be too few people here” Ye Fei Li replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s obvious” Zhang Ying Hao told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is that?” Ye Fei Li asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ying Hao explained in a low voice: “The Fuxi Emperor uses his world-class might to rule over the powerful Professionists in the country, but now that he’s dead, the crowning Empress doesn’t have such might, so there are a few who aren’t willing to listen to her”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a thing still happens?” Ye Fei Li asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, quite a few powerful Professionists who hold authority didn’t show up” Gu Qing Shan told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Impartial Goddess’ analysis, over half of the Professionists who hold authority aren’t here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fei Li questioned: “Hell is already here and they’re still in-fighting, is that really fine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ying Hao answered: “Compare to uniting against an enemy, people in power usually prefer in-fighting first”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought I’d come here to learn a bit more about the world, but I’d rather not learn THIS” Ye Fei Li complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was also a bit annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frozen Hell is still silently spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I want to do next requires the full support of the Fuxi Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——but it’ll probably take quite a long time for Empress Varona to thoroughly control the Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s simply no time to wait for the Empress to slowly eliminate her competitions to settle and solidify her reign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was thinking, Zhang Ying Hao came closer and whispered: “I heard there are a few people wanting to choose a grown male from the branch family to succeed the crown”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is indeed that, the military as well as a few other with authority support this idea greatly, Varona had to use all her wits just to barely push it down” Gu Qing Shan commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They want a puppet Emperor?” Ye Fei Li asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, that is the most beneficial for them” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t they worried what state this country is going to become?” Ye Fei Li asked naively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao exchanged looks and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan sat silently for a while before suddenly deciding on something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress had already walked onto the tower platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the guests stood below, waiting for the most important moment of her coronation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bishop was about to place the golden 12-pointed crown on Varona’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every member of every nation, as long as they aren’t busy with something, currently have their Holo-Brain turned on to tune in to this historic moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the number of people streaming the same video has reached a new record peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the scene of the Empress’ coronation, something strange was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were occasionally looking down at their Holo-Brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people were whispering, discussing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sort of stifled worry and discomfort silently spreads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the Confederate President, many politicians checked their Holo-Brain one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they listened to the report, their expressions became grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world leaders then began giving out orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the President had remotely ordered the entire Confederate’s military to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t right, something big must’ve happened” Zhang Ying Hao whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impartial Goddess, what’s the situation?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…A certain something is happening across deserts all over the world]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The corresponding intelligence is incomplete, unable to compile into a proper report] Impartial Goddess answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Show me what’s going on” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Very well, sir]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scene appeared on his Holo-Brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confederate’s Great Masala desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant figure that eclipses the sun was slowing moving in the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This figure was as tall as a skyscraper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Giant has appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It walked with quick strides, with each step it took, the desert trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the sand that touched its body were turned an ashen grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy black shackles wrapped the Giant’s legs, occasionally bursting out bright orange flames, burning the Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it endured the pain, roaring thunderously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move —–your ——-asses!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It growled: “Before the living discover, we must finish building the capital of the dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uhmmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds, thousands of gigantic figures responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grey desert city began to take shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene turned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan pinched his forehead, sighing deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worst that can happen always happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the entire desert, there wasn’t even a shred of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those black shackles on the Giants’ bodies were also completely unrelated to the Frozen Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They clearly aren’t from the Frozen Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—–the second Hell has descended upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but glance at the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of text floated in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Estimated time until Huang Quan reinforcements arrive: 11 hours]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I delayed the Frozen Hell but another hell come early instead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan asked: “System, why didn’t you tell me before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ting]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War God UI answered: [The System did not know that another Hell would descend, in fact, even the Frozen Hell was your discovery first and foremost]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan recalled and bit and found that really was the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you were able to summon the Huang Quan reinforcements” Gu Qing Shan questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War God UI continued to explain: [I only secretly reported it to them, they were already looking to get out of Huang Quan]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing Shan was about to keep talking to the System, he went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tower platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceremony was still continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Varona Medici…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bishop spoke the Empress’ given name, about to give her the blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the sky turned dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something happened ——-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something isn’t right; I can feel the disturbance in space” Zhang Ying Hao become serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something is coming —–look!” Ye Fei Li also commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all beheld the same place in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was blocked out by the blurry blowing wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black hole opened up in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a casket appeared in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This casket was extremely large, almost as big as the church itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The casket was made entirely out of bones, occasionally some blood would drip down from the openings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud impact, like a cannon blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The casket’s door was knocked opened, a monster roared thunderously, struggling to climb out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a jet black corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to check and saw that inside the casket, there were nothing but sharp spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spikes pierced the monster’s body, trapping it inside the casket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why it was struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A casket and sharp spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was another form of Hell’s punishment, once again completely unrelated to the Frozen Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, he stared straight at the sky, unable to say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, right at the scene of the Fuxi Empress’ coronation, under the watchful eyes of billions of people, the third Hell has descended on the Human Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>",2193,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c61df4805c75195c17f54301c7ddcef3b2375c49136a8f9cc24fe367f3ed154","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-359","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-357",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
