The horse carriage sped away at full speed.
While steering the horse carriage, Zhao Xiao Sheng called out towards the inside of the carriage:
“Benefactor Gu, now that you’re dead, what’s the next part of the plan?”
No answer came from the back of the carriage.
Zhao Xiao Sheng turned around, only to see that Gu Qing Shan’s corpse was laying flat on the ground, completely motionless.
This time, Zhao Xiao Sheng started to panic.
The people of the village were making a mad dash, chasing after them.
The monster’s movements were becoming increasingly faster as well, traversing several hundred meters with every step that it took, causing even the ground to tremble intensely.
Zhao Xiang Sheng called out: “Amitabha, benefactor Gu, if you don’t wake up, I’d have to start reciting the Kṣitigarbha Sutra1!”
“—-No need”
Gu Qing Shan finally responded.
He spoke as he was gazing towards the void of space.
Some lines of notifications had popped up on the Supreme Sequence1.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression displayed his surprise.
He didn’t think that the Sequence would suddenly request something at this particular moment.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up and came up to the edge of the carriage.
——from the looks of it, he was preparing to jump off the carriage again.
“WHAT!? So you’re still being controlled!!!” Zhao Xiang Sheng was screaming.
“It’s ok, all I need to do is die again. I just wanted to say that we’re going in the right direction, just keep steering us towards that tombstone on top of the mountain, faster if you can…” Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.
Thud!
Gu Qing Shan fell back down on the ground and died again.
Zhao Xiang Sheng’s mouth twitched a bit before he raised his whip and urged the horses again.
“Yah!”
The horse carriage sped up once again, making a mad dash forward.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly opened his eyes again and looked behind the carriage.
“They can’t catch up” he judged.
“What will we do once we reach the tombstone? Will we be able to avoid that monster on the back?” Zhao Xiang Sheng asked.
Gu Qing Shan thought back: “When I had just met that monster, I formed a contract with it—— it had no choice but to inform me that the reason it was stuck here was that it had fused with an Apocalypse, and the Samsara would not release it”
As Gu Qing Shan explained, he once again stood up and prepared to jump off.
“Fused with an Apocalypse? Why does that matter?” Zhao Xiang Sheng asked.
Bam!
A heavy thud.
Gu Qing Shan fell back down to the ground, dead again.
While laying on the floor of the carriage, he opened his eyes and explained: “The Samsara Delimitation Divine Sword had lent its [Govern Spirit] power to me, so I’ve been continuously trying to discern its intentions, and now I’ve got it”
“What did you get?” Zhao Xiang Sheng asked.
No answer.
Gu Qing Shan stood up and hurriedly tried to grab onto the side of the carriage, only to drop dead once again.
After reviving, he continued: “A long time ago, the side of [Chaos] had come up with the solution to place reality itself into a state of complete death and destruction, this way, even if the Apocalypse arrives, it would have no target and wouldn’t be able to exert its powers”
Zhao Xiang Sheng was surprised and asked: “So you’re saying that only dead people would be able to escape from this Fear Apocalypse?”
“That’s right, the connection between this Phase Realm and the main world is the tombstone, so all you need to do is lead me there and throw me onto the tombstone” Gu Qing Shan explained.
“Will that really work?” Zhao Xiang Sheng asked, a bit unsure.
“Because the Apocalypse cannot affect the dead, I would reappear in the main world—– which means escaping this place” Gu Qing Shan affirmed.
Zhao Xiang Sheng sighed and muttered: “Amitabha, I’ve never seen someone like yourself, using death itself as a tool”
Thud!
A familiar noise sounded from behind him.
Gu Qing Shan has just dropped dead again.
Zhao Xiang Sheng sighed: “Amitabha… but your rate of death really is a bit too frequent”
The horse carriage rapidly proceeded forward, leaving a trail of dust behind it.
Not too long later, they arrived in front of the hill-like tombstone.
Zhao Xiang Sheng abandoned the horse carriage and carried Gu Qing Shan’s body up the tombstone.
Not too far behind them, the gigantic dark monster was accelerating in an attempt to catch up.
“Hoh… hoh… benefactor Gu, we’ve arrived”
Zhao Xiang Sheng put Gu Qing Shan’s body on top of the tombstone as he breathed heavily through his mouth.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
He looked at Zhao Xiang Sheng and nodded: “I’ve troubled you, leave the rest to me”
As he spoke, he dispelled [Moon Invitation].
Zhao Xiang Sheng vanished right away.
Gu Qing Shan sat on top of the tombstone and silently watched as the monster came increasingly closer.
His head became limp and fell on top of the tombstone, dying once again.
In an instant, the scenery in front of him flashed.
The entire world was moving away from him.
At the very last moment, the monster stopped in place and was no longer giving chase.
A strange expression appeared on its ugly face.
And then the monster also suddenly disappeared.
…
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
From on top of the tombstone, he sat up and started examining his surroundings.
A forest of tombstones.
Numerous knocking sounds emerged from all of the tombs.
「 Summon me 」
「 Summon me 」
「 Summon me 」
Voices filled with the desire to escape echoed from below the tombs.
That’s right, this is the graveyard.
The main world.
I’m back!
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and stood up on top of the tombstone.
“Finally, I can leave this place”
He muttered.
As soon as he said that, he subconsciously opened his mouth again and spoke with another voice: [Indeed, after being trapped here for so many years, I can finally leave]
After saying that, Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
[Ahahahaha!]
The second voice suddenly started laughing maniacally and shook its head: [Pitiful fool, have you already forgotten? A part of my soul had remained inside your body this entire time, the very moment you escaped that Phase Realm, you had also brought me with you]
“…So you were after this from the very beginning!?” Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth.
The second voice boastfully answered: [You’ve only just realized that? All those years ago, when I couldn’t endure suffering the plight of the Apocalypse and surrendered to it, the Samsara immediately trapped me and the Delimitation Divine Sword also put me under its suppression. When the Delimitation Divine Sword shattered and the Samsara reset itself, I had thought that I would forever be trapped inside that tomb, but then you appeared]
[Now that I’ve escaped from the restraints of the Samsara, nothing else can stop me]
An indescribable presence started to exude from Gu Qing Shan’s body; similar to the Palace of Fear Apocalypse, it was cold, unreasonable, and filled with terror.
[This moment… we’ve waited for it for too long…] the second voice spoke.
Gu Qing Shan refuted: “I will stop you”
The second voice chuckled: [I was part of the past Samsara and the present Apocalypse, all of your actions up to now had been within my calculations—— now die!]
An intense roaring commotion similar to the raging ocean or a landslide echoed from inside his body.
A huge burst of unending dark fog rose from Gu Qing Shan’s body to the sky, manifesting into an infinite cityscape.
——aside from the small village from before, there were still other cities, the gloomy wilderness, rivers, oceans, as well as innumerable terrifying monsters!
A figure stood in front of this entire scenery, manifesting into a thick dark shadow.
—–the Samsara War General!
It looked down towards the tombstone, then focused its gaze on Gu Qing Shan.
[Mortal, I will possess your body and lead the army of terror, turning the entire Samsara into my weapon!]
It jumped into the sky and turned into a boundless shroud of darkness as it rushed towards Gu Qing Shan.
Standing on top of the tombstone, Gu Qing Shan blankly stared as this occurred.
In an instant, the shroud of darkness had already enveloped him and fully entered his body.
[Die…]
The Samsara War General finally said.
Gu Qing Shan’s breathing immediately ceased.
He was dead.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes and stood back up on the tombstone.
He raised his hand and tried clenching his fist.
“…Although this is only a mortal body, I’ve finally managed to escape from the Samsara’s restraints”
“I’ve revived at just the right time as well—– currently, all the Chosen Saints have their powers sealed off, just ripe for me to eradicate them all!”
He said with excitement.
In the sky, the numerous Palaces of Fear once again turned back into dark fog and descended behind him like a ceaseless stream.
An entire minute later.
The Apocalypse had thoroughly escaped from the Samsara’s restraints and entered Gu Qing Shan’s body.
Gu Qing Shan himself started to change, transforming into a muscular man in his prime.
“I’ve finally regained my original form”
He muscular man mumbled and raised his foot—-
Bam!
The entire tomb was leveled to the ground by this single stomp.
“From this moment, I am the Apocalypse Sequence [Palace of Fear]” the muscular man declared.
His voice echoed into the distance.
Everything around became completely silent, even the voices inside the other tombstones went silent as if they were wary of him.
The muscular man glanced at the entire graveyard in disdain, then scoffed.
Right as he was about to head out, he was surprised into standing still again.
“What… is this?”
The muscular man stared closely at the void of space, only to see lines of bloody red text quickly appearing one after another:
[You’ve completely sealed the Apocalypse Sequence ‘Palace of Fear’ inside your body]
[You’ve completed the request of the Supreme Sequence]
[All relevant operations have been completed]
[Assimilation in progress!]
A sharp bright red glow suddenly erupted around the muscular man.
“This is… what is this!?”
The muscular man screamed in shock.
He suddenly fell limp on the ground and started shrieking with indescribable pain.
Layers of dark shadows were being peeled off his body one by one trying to seep into the ground, but they were all stopped by the bright red glow without being able to go anywhere.
[AARRGHH, I’VE CLEARLY BECOME AN APOCALYPSE!]
[I AM AN ApoCaLYpsE!]
[NoT EveN thE SaMsarA wAs abLE to eRaDicaTe mE, hOw coUl…]
The muscular man shrieked in an unwilling manner as his entire body started melting like a wax statue, eventually morphing back into Gu Qing Shan’s appearance.
The shadows of the Palace of Fear also dissolved bit by bit within the bright red glow until they eventually couldn’t be seen anymore.
After a while.
The muscular man’s shrieks were completely gone.
Only Gu Qing Shan remained standing in the graveyard.
Opening his eyes, Gu Qing Shan’s expression was a bit complicated.
—–this monster that had survived for countless years couldn’t even tell how it actually died.
Countless years ago, for the sake of survival, it even resorted to fusing with an Apocalypse and walking the destructive path of an Apocalypse.
Regretfully…
It couldn’t do anything but turn into pure Apocalyptic power for the Supreme Sequence to assimilate.
Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice:
“No, you are not an Apocalypse, I am”
In the void of space in front of him, lines of bloody red text hovered:
[Assimilation completed]
[The Sequence has obtained a bit of power]
[In ten seconds, the Sequence will regain some of its functions]
[10]
[9]
[8]
