But if something happens to catch their eyes, they will trade for them with items from the Mystic Zones——- all of which are true treasures”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, I understand” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded to him and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan closed the door and sat down back on his cushion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Treasures huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do I have something that can be considered treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resources of Bai Hua sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Materials from a Scattered world are probably not considered treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the You Ji General armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After going through the battles of Shen Wu world, there were already quite a few cracks on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bramble Birds probably wouldn’t like a damaged item like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—–the Earth sword, Chao Yin sword and Six Paths Great Mountain sword?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d kill anyone that even thinks about taking them away, so no treasure is worth as much as they do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else is there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man of the Spire Keeper Association said that it is a real treasure that couldn’t possibly be found in a Scattered world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I really do have it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a precious thing can probably exchange for a few things at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, part of the Justice Iron Fist Club’s debt would be dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With some luck, I might even completely clear it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a bit, Gu Qing Shan took out the [Predictor of Fate] card again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Depicted on the card was a large eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless white fog was spiraling around the eye, forming a maelstrom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of glowing text popped up on the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Predictor of Fate, rare card]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In moments of hesitation, you may observe this card in order to see a possibility of your own fate]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is a rare and precious card, you will be able to trade it for anything your heart desires in many worlds]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stared at the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems it was finally time for this card to be useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he looked at the card, the eye on the card was also looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short breath, the eye disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made another telling of his fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A skeleton dressed in rags once again showed up on the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton was pacing back and forth nervously, as if it sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, the skeleton represented death, this was common sense for card reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan just smiled when he saw this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the Suspended world, the card also depicted a skeleton to represent his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never really believed in such things, so he didn’t think too much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was about to put the card away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a change occurred on the [Predictor of Fate] card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene depicted on it changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton opened its jaws wide, screaming in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its voice even escaped the boundaries of the card, reverberating in the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton was making a mad dash trying to run away, but it couldn’t get out of the card no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All its struggles were futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Gu Qing Shan saw himself on the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the one depicted didn’t seem like the real him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were gone, replaced by two black holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mouth was full of sharp fangs, drool dripping down from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ‘him’ inside the card lunged towards the skeleton, quickly pushing it to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the skeleton wanted to retaliate, it was held down completely by Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Gu Qing Shan’ opened his jaws wide and bit down on the skeleton’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch, crunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of broken bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head was quickly chewed to bits and swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Gu Qing Shan’ looked down and continued to eat the bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was him chewing the thick, brittle bones could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he kept eating, darkness slowly filled the face of the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until it became completely dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How strange, how would I turn into something like that?” Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the card as he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen such a strange scene on the card ever since he got it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan tried shaking the card, then flicking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what he did, the face of the card remained completely dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gongzi, the card made me feel a bit anxious” Shannu muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time she had ever felt such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan also had the same faint sense of unease, but at the same time a bit cloudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Gu Qing Shan really felt that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he got onto the ship, his spirit sense has been reminding him over and over that something out of the ordinary was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit sense was a special type of intuition unique to cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Dao Ling’s spirit sense was so powerful that she was able to see the scene of her own death before it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his spirit sense, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t concentrate at all and even needed two sittings to breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly is going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood up, pacing around Orchid Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very confident in his spirit sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could tell what this card was saying, then he would be able to gather more accurate intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was a sword cultivator, not a card user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he had a crude understanding of cards, when the card itself changed to show such an obscure thing, he had no way to tell what it was actually saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood there completely clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>",1789,"2026-06-09T03:05:21.780Z",1,"novelbin.me","74d82089c805dd34d0f7a1d694e768cda03ea8cd705d5759706c0ed3b3860ed3","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-733","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-732",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
