That much is simple, I will order someone below for that」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’m afraid this matter might need you to personally issue”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a small bag and tossed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man received the bag, estimated the weight a bit, and smiled as he replied: 「 Considering how heavy it is, I believe your mission to be not quite as simple as I expected. Please tell me briefly, what kind of mission do you wish to issue?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Saving a weapon spirit” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took out a long rectangular box and lightly placed it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed his hand on the box and spoke in a low voice: “There is a dying weapon spirit inside that will soon lose its life completely. I want to know if there are any fiends or devils with a unique power that could repair it”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was suddenly a lot more interested and muttered: 「 So that’s how it is. Weapon spirits are originally rare, so even I don’t have much experience with saving them——- such a mission is indeed hard to come by, it is worth me trying once」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then chanted an incantation: 「 Mystic Investigation Table of Contents, manifest」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large book appeared out of nowhere and hovered in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Appraiser’s famous personal Mystic-type ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Place your hand on the book and state your request」 the old man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan then placed his hand on the cover of the large book and spoke: “I want to save my weapon”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book didn’t move or let out any sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man regretfully told him: 「 It seems there isn’t a single fiend or devil within the Chaos Demonic Sea that has an ability to save weapons」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can take one step back and issue a simpler request” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 That is?」 the old man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To temporarily maintain my weapon in its current state so it doesn’t die” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded and gestured for him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Gu Qing Shan was extremely anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth sword only has 1 day left to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there isn’t even a way to prolong its death, then it’s all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, placed his hand on the thick book, and said: “I want to delay this weapon’s death and make it so that it doesn’t completely break yet”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick book didn’t move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One breath’s worth of time later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book suddenly trembled heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book knocked Gu Qing Shan’s hand away and flipped through page after page until it finally stopped at a certain spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a completely blank page, but the old man still smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 It seems there was still an evil creature who could do that」 he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Gu Qing Shan was glad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Indeed, let me check who has such an ability, please wait for a moment」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man pulled out a goose feather quill and put the tip against the blank page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the quill touched the page, it jumped and began to scribble out more details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan couldn’t understand what the quill was writing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the quill finished writing, the old man read the content of the page and muttered: 「 Black Bone Witch King, Mystic-type ability, [Death Suspension]」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is there Black Bone Witch King now?” Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man had a strange expression on his face and replied: 「 You probably don’t know, but he is the same as I, we are both subordinates of the master」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 He isn’t part of the business administration like me, but rather the combat sector. Without the master’s expressed permission, he cannot act at all 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Come with me to meet the master, only after the master agrees can this transaction be completed 」the old man told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meet the Lord of Total Distortion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Blood Demon Duke and Holy Pure Priestess didn’t want to associate with this terrifying Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man continued: 「 In consideration of your generosity, I will give you a suggestion. Prepare enough payment, because if the master isn’t happy with your offer, you will become another decoration on the cathedral’s wall 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan muses: “How much payment would be considered enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man replied: 「 I can only give you a frame of reference. There was an evil creature who came here with 12 large ships full of Soul Blood Gems to ask the master for a single request, that evil creature is still hanging out on the outside wall of the cathedral right now 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came with some of the most precious materials within the two evil realms in his possession, but because he left in such a hurry, there were still many things that he didn’t bring——— two evil realms weren’t small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, what would actually be considered enough payment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently asked himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, the old man told him: 「 Have you thought this through? If you give up on your request now, I won’t report this to the master and you won’t need to risk anything, all you need to do is pay the consultation fees 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan replied: “Please make the request for me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded: 「 Very well, please wait here 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed open the door and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knocking could be heard from the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Xie Qi Ruler? 』someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am here” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door was opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two beautiful fiends wearing uniforms stood on either side of the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both bowed towards Gu Qing Shan and smiled: 『 The master has been informed of your request, please follow me 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan followed them outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the scene outside the door had completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, the run-down flight of stairs and empty hallways outside this room had both disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was now a luxurious large hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful carpet was laid on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smell of fresh flowers filled the entire hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t a single wall around the hall, only the vast expanse of the ocean on all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The howling rain and storm winds were still rampaging outside, but none of it could make it inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan could even see two faint figures wrestling one another on the surface of the faraway ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were two Demonic Sea creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ooo———–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Demonic Sea creatures were roaring full of madness and killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some unknown point, the room he was staying in had moved to the top of the cathedral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the palace of the Lord of Total Distortion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan followed the two beautiful women forward until they reached the end of a long series of stairs leading upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A devil with a powerful aura was already waiting here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of the stairs, another evil Ruler was carefully climbing each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——the final step was obscured by an invisible barrier that prevented anyone from probing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Please wait for a few moments, there were two other Rulers who requested an audience with the master before you 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two female fiends smiled at Gu Qing Shan and stepped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan waited together with the other evil Ruler at the bottom of the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the evil Ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devil’s expression was completely pale with sweat all over his face, apparently very stressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 What are you asking for? 」the evil Ruler asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something related to my weapon, what about you?” Gu Qing Shan returned the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 A problem with my body 」the evil Ruler replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them nodded and said nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———no one could tell a lie here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was best that they didn’t talk at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they were going to expose everything about themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>",2156,"2026-06-09T03:05:26.397Z",1,"novelbin.me","6dba1358532b0772d38d058cf7ab5c3d7c9a8bd80fd0f1a68fb0fdb0545e2303","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-815","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-813",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
