Chapter 1320 - Gu Qing Shan’s conjecture
writer:烟火成城      update:2022-07-20 14:11
  “Terrifying monsters that should have gone extinct?”


  Gu Qing Shan and Crow exchanged glances.

  “That’s right. We were no match for them at all, I really don’t know what was going on here” Yu Juan muttered in dejection.

  “Since you were a researcher of the Void Library, please take a look for us——”


  Saying so, Crow drew this rapier and flicked it a few times in the air.

  The images of a soldier wielding a shield and spear, a red-robed caster, an armored giant, and the three-headed dog appeared in the air one after another.

  Gu Qing Shan explained: “These are the enemies we ran into; do you recognize them?”


  Yu Juan glanced over: “All of them are entities belonging to the Saint Spirit world. It could be said that you were lucky to meet them, as they’re all races that strictly adhere to the code of combat”


  “What about you? What did your side run into?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

  “There were two groups of us on this side——– the first group consisted of 39 Combatants who were all pushed directly into an ocean and met an octopus monster, ending in a complete wipeout; I was part of the second group who ran into the Plague Apocalypse. I was barely able to hang onto my life, in fact, if you hadn’t saved me, I would have already died as well”


  After giving his answer, Yu Juan appeared dejected again.

  Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed a bit and asked: “Did that octopus monster have a severed head in each of its suction cups?”


  “That’s right” Yu Juan replied.

  “What exactly was it?” Gu Qing Shan pursued.

  “A void monster that should have already been eradicated in the flow of time. Because of how powerful its abilities were, it was essentially undefeated in the space vortex, so it went to try and challenge the Inner Plane. After 70 days of nonstop combat, it was killed through the cooperation of the Deities and the Eternal Abyss” Yu Juan explained.

  Gu Qing Shan said: “It’s a good thing that I ran away fast enough, otherwise I would have died as well”


  “What’s the Plague Apocalypse?” Crow asked out of interest.

  Yu Juan patiently explained: “The Plague Apocalypse is a kind of unpreventable bodily mutation, anyone can be infected by it, turning into Man Killer Fiends and Man Eater Fiends”


  “We once conducted a reverse study of this Apocalypse, discovering that the Plague Apocalypse originally had over a thousand variations, capable of destroying countless worlds——– we were almost scared to death. Fortunately, this Apocalypse was in a constant weakened state and remained that way until it was destroyed”


  “Over 1000 variations of the plague?” hearing that, Crow couldn’t help but click his tongue and commented emotionally: “Sure enough, scholars like you really understand a lot”


  Yu Juan dejectedly replied: “What good is it to understand them? The Apocalypse we ran into this time was the over 1000 variations of that plague. It was so terrifying that everyone ended up dead”


  “But you managed to survive thanks to the power of your knowledge” Gu Qing Shan commented with a gentle voice.

  “One of my previous thesis was the Plague Apocalypse, so I managed to survive the longest within that Apocalypse until you saved me”


  Mentioning that, Yu Juan felt a bit fortunate.

  Gu Qing Shan’s focus turned elsewhere.

  He paced around inside the tower, silently pondering.

  After a bit, he finally remembered.

  ——it was a conversation:

  Gu Qing Shan silently clenched his fist.

  Gu Qing Shan felt a chill running down his back.

  “The current time is……” he muttered.

  “Using the common denomination of time in most civilizations, it’s currently 5PM, nearly evening” Crow answered.

  Gu Qing Shan silently shook his head.

  Gu Qing Shan wracked his brains—–


  “What’s the matter?” seeing his expression a bit strange, Crow doubtfully asked.

  “It’s nothing, I’m pondering something very crucial, let’s talk later” Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively.

  He was trying his best to recall his conversation with Lady Fusi at the time.

  Suddenly, the scene reappeared clearly in his mind……

  Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tightly.

  We are currently not under ‘normal circumstances’.

  ——–the countless overlapping worlds, the lost civilization, the Plague Apocalypse at its strongest, could all of them have been byproducts of the Fate Corrosion?

  If they all originated from that extremely powerful parallel world, everything would make sense.

  “Did you come up with something?”


  Observing his expression, Crow curiously asked.

  Gu Qing Shan silently replied: “Not yet, only some conjectures. I don’t have any proof; it can’t be considered the truth”


  Gu Qing Shan abruptly boiled with killing intent.

  The sound of ringing.

  Gu Qing Shan turned back, only to see that Yu Juan had taken out an ID card to check the content on it.

  “That’s perfect, the situation here had caught the attention of the upper brass. Stronger Combatants of higher numbers will soon be dispatched for an all-out Void War” Yu Juan commented.

  “What’s an all-out Void War?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

  “When the infinite worlds of the void feel that voluntary missions are insufficient against the Apocalypse, they would fully cooperate, organize an army, and declare a war towards it” Yu Juan explained.

  “Then, they seem to think that despite this being classified as Unsolvable, there’s still some hope that’s worth fighting for?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

  “That’s right”


  Crow sighed in relief, then spoke: “It’s for the best. While we can still barely protect ourselves right now, there are too many enemies here. Later on, there might even——”


  Gu Qing Shan’s figure disappeared where he previously stood.

  Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]!

  He had rushed forward to block Crow’s mouth.

  Crow appeared confused.

  “Brother Crow, think of this as me begging you. The current situation is too dangerous, so can you please not jinx anything?”


  Gu Qing Shan said with a heavy heart.
