Chapter 1282 - Fruit of Fate Traces
Chapter 1282: Fruit of Fate Traces
The 9th parallel world.
“Great tomb? Apocalypse? Alright, let us go” a certain ‘Gu Qing Shan’ replied.
…
The 10th parallel world.
“What an unprecedented challenge, I really can’t stop holding myself back from trying it once” another ‘Gu Qing Shan’ gave his answer.
…
The 11th parallel world.
“So, which ‘me’ was the one who experienced such an unimaginable thing?” another ‘Gu Qing Shan’ asked.
All the ‘Gu Qing Shan’ turned around to look at the original Gu Qing Shan wielding the twin swords Heaven and Earth who came from the great tomb.
“Ah, it’s you” that ‘Gu Qing Shan’ said.
“It’s me, what’s the matter?” the original Gu Qing Shan said.
That ‘Gu Qing Shan’ looked at all the ‘Gu Qing Shan’ around, then said while pondering: “You… seem to be the strongest ‘me’ here”
The original Gu Qing Shan smiled: “So, do you want to join us?”
“Naturally”
…
The 29th parallel world.
A large group of Gu Qing Shan stood on top of a cliff, standing around a grave.
“‘I’… have already died in this world?” one ‘Gu Qing Shan’ muttered.
Xie Dao Ling replied: “Not yet, what you’re sensing is a faux miasma of death, one that originated from the Huang Quan realm, which I just happen to recognize”
She drew her whip and struck the grave.
Bam!
It broke.
A figure climbed out from inside.
He had a cigarette in his mouth, a pen in one hand, and a stack of papers in the other, complaining:
“What is it? Who interrupted my—— why are there so many ‘me’ here!!!?”
A few moments later.
“That’s how it is” Gu Qing Shan finished explaining everything.
“Ah… I’m fine with going, but you need to wait a bit, I have to finish writing this last part”
He quickly wrote something onto the paper, then sighed in relief.
“What are you writing?” one ‘Gu Qing Shan’ asked curiously.
That ‘Gu Qing Shan’ replied: “Fate. What I carry is different from all of you, not an [Order] or [Chaos], but rather the original power of Fate from within the Reality Gate—– this is a new power I obtained after discarding both [Order] and [Chaos]: Fruit of Fate Traces”
“What can this power do?” one ‘Gu Qing Shan’ asked.
“Whatever I write, as long as they fulfil certain conditions of Fate, will definitely come true” Fate Gu Qing Shan replied.
——directly determining Fate?
What an unimaginable power!
All the ‘Gu Qing Shan’ were shocked.
The pen-holding ‘Gu Qing Shan’ looked around at all of his ‘selves’, then pondered: “How interesting, among all of you, the ‘me’ who wields the two strange swords is the most powerful, but none of you have a profound understanding of Fate as I do”
The Gu Qing Shan wielding the twin swords Heaven and Earth then said: “If that’s the case, please write something to this effect: [Gu Qing Shan found reinforcement from parallel worlds, successfully prevented the eruption of countless Apocalypses within the Tomb of Myriad Beasts]”
“Alright” Fate Gu Qing Shan agreed without hesitation.
Under all the gaze of every ‘Gu Qing Shan’, he quickly wrote on a piece of blank paper: [Gu Qing Shan found reinforcement from parallel worlds, successfully prevented the eruption of countless Apocalypses within the Tomb of Myriad Beasts]
As soon as he finished those words, images began to appear on top of the paper.
All of them were so blurry that they couldn’t be seen, only the two uppermost lines of images formed a line of text:
[To achieve this Fruit of Fate, the following conditions must be fulfilled:]
[Firstly, gather a total of 75 parallel world ‘Gu Qing Shan’, not one more, not one less;]
After this line, all the other lines of text remained blurry.
Fate Gu Qing Shan put the paper away and explained: “We need to fulfil the first condition first before the other conditions could be seen”
He then drew a sword, grinning: “So when can we fight against the Apocalypse? I’m impatiently looking forward to it already”
Twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan happily said: “Very nice, with this power, we can be even more assured”
He brandished the two swords and brought everyone away from this parallel world.
The 30th parallel world.
The 31st parallel world.
The 32nd parallel world.
…
The 39th parallel world.
The Justice Iron Fist Club.
“Oi, oi, oi. I know that you’re in a hurry so you could only trust yourself, but this Barry can guarantee that any parallel version of myself would be trustworthy, wouldn’t you say?”
Iron Fist Barry excitedly said.
“Ah, big brother Barry, you want to come as well?” the ‘Gu Qing Shan’ of this world asked.
“Of course, this is too good of a matter to pass up” Barry clenched his fists tightly and replied.
A female voice called out:
“And I as well”
Everyone turned back to see a cat-eared girl walking out from the club.
She had already taken off the short skirt casual outfit she usually wore, now instead donning a skin-tight battle outfit.
—-Kitty.
“Trust me, with a Spatial Grandmaster with you, everything you do will be much more convenient” Kitty said.
The group of ‘Gu Qing Shan’ stayed silent for a bit, then all nodded.
Barry was trustworthy and could not die in battle; Kitty was a Spatial Grandmaster, a unique and rare talent that was valuable in the fight against any Apocalypse.
Twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan said: “Then… let us go together”
He split open the void of space and took everyone with him.
“Ah——-”
A panicked voice sounded from inside the club.
With a flash of red light, Ye Fei Li appeared where everyone was.
—–but he was unfortunate, as the group had already left.
Ye Fei Li sat down on the ground, dejectedly speaking: “Barry, Kitty, Qing Shan, today is bill day, what am I supposed to do when all of you flee like this?”
…
The 45th parallel world.
“I’ll just ask you one thing, Gu Qing Shan, can you trust me or not?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
“And me as well, do you not trust me in your reality?” Ye Fei Li asked.
Twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan looked at the two of them.
They were both tightly gripping his shoulder, staring straight at him while waiting for an answer.
——–how come everyone asks the same thing starting from Shifu?
“Come one, let’s go together”
Gu Qing Shan answered without much force, then brandished his sword to split open the void of space.
…
The 51st parallel world.
A certain cave.
“Ah? What an interesting thing that is, Gu Qing Shan, I assume you’re going to take me with you, correct?”
Lin casually asked.
She raised her hand and lightly cracked her fingers.
Pop, pop!
The air gave off resounding popping noises, followed by black spatial cracks.
Everyone remained absolutely silent.
In that silence, only Xie Dao Ling praised her:
“What excellent martial arts cultivation!”
Lin’s expression shifted a bit, turning to Xie Dao Ling as she slowly gathered some killing intent.
She asked: “To comment on my cultivation standard, may I know who you are?”
“Xie Dao Ling, Gu Qing Shan is my disciple” Xie Dao Ling replied.
Lin’s aura immediately vanished without a trace, stepping forward to bow and smile: “So you were Bai Hua Saint, your reputation highly precedes you, it is a shame that I have yet to meet you up to now. Ah, yes, my name is Lin”
Everyone: “…”
Gu Qing Shan hung his head and swung his sword: “Come on, let’s go together.
…
The 69th parallel world.
The 900 million World Layers.
——-the Asura race had declared a great war!
The flames of war burnt from the Strife Zones all the way to the Mystic Zones, turning heaven and earth over on their heads countless times over, causing numerous Combatants to flee into the space vortex and escape their homelands, lest they be involved in the war.
At the very center of the battlefield, Asura King Gu Qing Shan held the tip of his sword against Triste’s nose.
“I’ll say it once, I want you to release that young girl, otherwise, I wouldn’t mind killing your entire bunch of locusts” Asura King Gu Qing Shan declared.
“You think you’ve already won by defeating me? I’ll tell you right now, the fate of that girl isn’t something you can get involved with!” Triste laughed maniacally.
Behind her, a thick grey fog manifested out of thin air.
Rumble rumble!
The sound of trembling earth and howling resounded from the fog.
Countless monsters appeared one after another.
The mythical monsters from the Era of [Chaos]!
In front of them, all was the Deity of [Chaos] with the male and female half-faces.
——the Soul Shrieker.
「 『 Tsk tsk tsk, King of Asura, you might also be a Deity of [Chaos], but your strength is far inferior to my own 」』the Soul Shrieker spoke with killing intent.
Asura King Gu Qing Shan made a gesture behind his back, signaling his men to prepare their defenses.
“I want you to let Laura go” he said.
The Soul Shrieker shook its head: 『 「 Each of her abilities are nothing short of ultimate treasures of the 900 million World Layers, they can all aid me greatly, I shall not let her go 』」
Asura King Gu Qing Shan raised his sword: “Even as fellow Deities of [Chaos], you sure are holding quite a bit of killing intent against me…”
The Soul Shrieker suddenly grinned: 「 『 Of course, the Era of [Chaos] needs no more than a single strongest Deity. Today right at this place, either you or I shall perish and return to nothingness 」』
It took a deep breath, about to unleash its soul-absorbing shriek, only to see the void of space on the other side changing.
——–two swords appeared.
The black void of space was cut open by two swords.
Following that, dozens of ‘Gu Qing Shan’ suddenly leapt out, followed by a large group of other Combatants, including Lin, Barry, Kitty, Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, Xie Dao Ling…
The Soul Shrieker was completely stunned, forgetting to even shriek.
Asura King Gu Qing Shan looked at twin swords Heaven and Earth Gu Qing Shan in surprise.
“Why are you here? And bringing so many people with you?” he asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “It couldn’t be helped, the situation in the great tomb is too urgent, I came looking for help”
Asura King Gu Qing Shan helplessly replied: “But I’m not done here yet”
“Ah? You’re still not done?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
——all the ‘Gu Qing Shan’ turned their attention towards the Soul Shrieker at once.
The Soul Shrieker couldn’t help but retreat one step.
It had noticed that none of these Gu Qing Shan were clones.
Each of these Gu Qing Shan carried a different power of [Order], [Chaos], as well as other irregular powers.
In summary.
All of them were real Gu Qing Shan, and each of them exuded terrifying power.
The Soul Shrieker retreated another step, feeling like its mind was a bit lacking.
Standing across from it, Gu Qing Shan wielded the twin swords Heaven and Earth, cracked his head and said: “An old enemy, how about we help you quickly resolve the matter here?”
Asura King Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “That’s naturally a good thing”
A second later, every ‘Gu Qing Shan’ spoke up at once: “Then, let us all——–”
『 「 Wait a moment! We still haven’t finished our talk!!! 』」
The Soul Shrieker suddenly shouted.
Everyone was shocked.
The Soul Shrieker looked at Asura King Gu Qing Shan again and loudly asked: 「 『 Did you start this war only because of Laura? 」』
Asura king Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The Soul Shrieker answered with a hysterical voice: 『 「 There was no need to raise such a huge commotion for a minor matter now, was there? Everything can be discussed civilly, you know? As fellow Deities of [Chaos], any strife between us should certainly be resolved through talking 』」
Asura King Gu Qing Shan paused a bit, muttering: “But earlier, you just said——-”
「 『 I was only kidding 」』the Soul Shrieker turned its head to the other side, telling the stunned Triste: 『 「 Hurry! Hurry up! Hand Laura over to them! 』」
