————————–
Xie Dao Ling disappeared from the vision.
Gu Qing Shan’s mind was moving quickly, contemplating a countermeasure.
—–although I’ve managed to infiltrate the ranks of the Apocalypse, a few dozen Apocalypses are now preparing to enter the Wraith realm.
Even he hadn’t fought so many Apocalypses at once before.
Behind these Apocalypses, there was even another terrifying Apocalypse that could control time.
No matter how powerful Shifu was, how could she fight against so many Apocalypses?
Gu Qing Shan considered many solutions, but they all ended up being dismissed.
At this time, the voice from the ship made up of green insects spoke again:
[—-She’s coming]
[All of you are advanced Apocalypses, chosen because you have the attributes of Control, Descent, and Possession]
[You must all cooperate with this Apocalypse of Time and surround to kill that human female]
The vision changed again, returning to the scenery of the Wraith realm.
Time continued to stand still.
Within the Wraith realm, every living being remained in their original positions, even the wind had been frozen.
The voice from the ship suddenly became raised:
[The Apocalypse of Time had arrived. From this moment on, we must all listen to their orders]
A second later.
A cultivator wearing a yaksha mask suddenly appeared out of thin air.
He appeared completely mundane, just like a low-level cultivator from the Wraith realm without any distinct features.
The cultivator stood with his hands clasped behind his back and casually spoke: “I am the Apocalypse: The End of Time, I will now explain the situation]
Staring closely at this cultivator, Gu Qing Shan slowly understood.
——-This was the second Apocalypse that Shifu had implied in her message.
The Spirit Snatcher Apocalypse was only a vanguard, this End of Time Apocalypse was the true threat!
“As you can see, I’ve possessed a living being”
The cultivator continued:
“All of you must do the same and lie in wait within the bodies of the Wraith realm’s living beings until the moment that the Reality Gate opens”
“By the time that the Reality Gate opens, if that person still hasn’t arrived, the Silent Light Apocalypse and I will destroy everything within the Reality Gate”
“If that person does arrive, all of us Apocalypse will act at the same time and eliminate them!”
“This way, the ultimate weapon of the infinite living beings will fall into my hands and would never be reforged again”
After saying that, the cultivator waved his hand and pointed towards the Wraith realm.
“You may choose any of those living beings and possess them, but make sure not to die—— as soon as your host dies, you will also lose all of your power and fall into slumber”
The cultivator’s voice suddenly became full of urgency:
“The explanation is done, if you have any questions, ask me immediately, that person will arrive very soon”
The Apocalypses all kept silent.
The cultivator then said: “Very we—–”
[Wait a moment!]
Gu Qing Shan suddenly called out.
The cultivator turned to him and asked: “What do you want to ask?”
Gu Qing Shan said: [From this moment up until the Reality Gate opens, many things must have happened—— can you tell us what exactly happened during this whole period of time? That would let us know the course of events and allow us to better prepare]
The cultivator shook his head: “You are correct, but when I brought Silent Light back in time, I was injured by the Chrono race, and to keep controlling the timeline, I’ve had to continue fighting against them—–”
“I can only tell you that before the Gate opens, that human called Reneedol was about to summon the Spirit Snatcher Apocalypse”
“Other than that, we don’t know anything either”
Gu Qing Shan felt shaken.
This is a precious silver lining!
The only hope for survival!
He displayed a confused expression and asked: [Do we only have so little information?]
That cultivator replied: “Indeed, but that isn’t an issue, everything will proceed as normal, and how much or how little we know won’t affect the course of history”
Gu Qing Shan immediately continued: [I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this seems to be a world of very strict ranks]
The cultivator appeared a bit impatient and asked: “And so?”
[We’re Apocalypses] Gu Qing Shan emphasized this, [Are we supposed to obey those mortals’ orders?]
The cultivator froze up briefly.
He seemed to have recalled something.
——that’s true, during the infiltration process, I’ve been ordered by those wraith cultivators many times.
To avoid being exposed, I’ve had to follow their orders.
That was extremely irritating.
If I were to be sent somewhere distant right before the critical moment, then it would be very troublesome.
The cultivator muses: “Then your idea…”
Gu Qing Shan replied: [I hope that the few most powerful Apocalypse Sequences among us would be able to possess cultivators with considerable status. This way, we would become the ruling class of the Wraith realm and take better control over the entire situation]
He added: [In the beginning, due to our authority, we would even be able to order those wraith cultivators to attack the human female that carries the ultimate weapon of all living beings—— this will delude her, allowing all of us Apocalypses to abruptly attack and eliminate her at a critical moment. I’m sure this will work!]
The cultivator remained silent for a short moment.
“Authority is the symbol of civilization”
He praised: “As expected of an Apocalypse that mutated to become invincible, you aren’t as simple as you appear. However, in order to achieve what you said, I will have to spend a bit more power”
The cultivator waved his hand over the void.
Three images swiftly appeared.
Fate Obstruction, Giant Frame, and Karmic Fire, the three Wraith Lords!
“I’ve been in hiding for a while, so I somewhat understand this civilization——- we cannot touch Reneedol, as she shoulders the mission of opening the Reality Gate, but these three people are the highest authoritative figures in this civilization” the cultivator explained.
All the Apocalypses looked closely at the three Wraith Lords.
A voice spoke up from the ship: [Then I will take one of them]]
The eerie figure with 199 heads also said: [I will also take one]
A voice spoke up from inside the faint vortex as well: [Leave the last one to me]
The cultivator turned his gaze over all the Apocalypses, then nodded: “The three of you belong to the highest Sequence here, and are the most powerful, then it’s decided that it’ll be the three of you—–”
His voice suddenly became a bit satisfied: “After infiltrating, relieve me of all the irritating duties first, I want to accompany you three and prepare to keep control over the entire operation”
[[[Understood!]]]
The three Apocalypses replied in unison.
A glowing stream of water appeared from the cultivator’s body, which appeared exactly the same as water within the River of Time.
Except this water contained an aura of destruction.
“Very well, all Apocalypses prepare yourselves, make sure to select the cultivators with some level of status——– I will now send all of you!”
As soon as he said that, the stream of water expanded into a huge wave that enveloped all the Apocalypses who would infiltrate the Wraith realm.
Gu Qing Shan sensed that he had turned into an incorporeal soul.
Is this the power of time?
He couldn’t understand how it worked at all.
But that didn’t stop him from searching for someone to possess.
Gu Qing Shan followed the stream into the Wraith realm and quickly reached the Wraith Temple.
After searching back and forth for a while, he finally found his target.
——-Demon Dragon!
Demon Dragon was still wearing a yaksha mask and maintained a walking stance while being motionless.
As the water of time still enveloped Gu Qing Shan, he silently observed the other party.
No.
Demon Dragon is also someone with a mission.
He would delude Reneedol into siding with the Apocalypse.
Then—–
Gu Qing Shan looked behind Demon Dragon.
Two servants were closely following Demon Dragon with their heads lowered, both also wearing yaksha masks.
Got my target.
Seemingly sensing his will, the water of time became a bit more violent.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly charged towards one of them.
At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Within the surging flow of time, you activated the power of the spirit snatcher and the ‘Mystery of Apocalypse Equal’ that you carry]
[You will take over everything belonging to this cultivator]
Gu Qing Shan suddenly opened his eyes.
He discovered that he had turned into that servant.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
[Time stop has ended]
Instantly, everything returned to normal.
The sound of talking and loud discussions, as well as yelling could be heard.
The Wraiths all around him were all in a hurry minding their own businesses.
“Have you all finished your jobs?” Demon Dragon continued to walk as he asked.
“Everything is done, sir” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Hm” Demon Dragon said with some satisfaction.
Demon Dragon led him and the other servant towards an upcoming turn in the path.
