Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1506: Where they were being held

The sound of music filled the room.

Doong dum tsh, doong dum tsh!

Dum tsh!~

Dum tsh!~

Doong doong tsh!

Gu Qing Shan at the lead, Boss and Little Dusk at the back, the three of them were continuously dancing.

As the Dance reached climax, lines of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's vision:

[Congratulations, you've obtained the Authority of World Jurisdiction!]

[Your dance partners belongs to the 'Rivers of Life and Death' world system]

[You may now change their world jurisdiction]

[The currently available jurisdictions are as follow: Rivers of Life and Death, Samsara]

[If you continue to choose 'Rivers of Life and Death', please twirl towards your left to maintain her world jurisdiction]

[If you want to change it, please perform a series of continuous short hops to change your dance partner's world jurisdiction to: Samsara]

Gu Qing Shan had gotten used to these dance steps, and they weren't particularly difficult.

He put his hands behind his back as both his feet continuously tapped the ground, completing a series of short hops.

As soon as he stopped, the entire Dance was also concluded.

New notifications popped up on the War God UI:

[Your dance partners' world jurisdiction has been changed]

[World jurisdiction: Samsara]

[Due to the unique characteristic of the Samsara, you may examine their three lives of past, present, and future]

[As they are newly inducted Samsara beings, they temporarily do not have three lives for you to examine]

[Your Dance had improved, please continue to diligently practice]

The lines of glowing text then all disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan sat back down and breathed heavily.

"Rhode, look!" Scarlet suddenly called out.

Gu Qing Shan turned around, only to see numerous tubes connected to Boss' body, these tubes were connected to his head, neck, arm, heart, back, thighs, calves, etc. the other end of these tubes reached into the void of space, connected to somewhere unknown.

There was nothing on Little Dusk's body.

Boss immediately struggled.

"YAAARGH!"

He roared, then yanked out each and every tube from his body while ignoring the bleeding that ensued.

Little Dusk stood next to Boss with her mouth opened wide, seemingly stupefied by this occurrence.

A frigid voice could be heard from the void of space:

[Key observation and control target has disappeared, initiating destruction of connective devices]

As soon as the tubes left Boss' body, they flew into the air and vanished into the void of space.

Everyone observed this in shock, unable to say anything.

——it was as if another world had descended, stopped here briefly, extracted the tubes they left on Boss' body, then left.

This caused everyone to feel a chill down their spines.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly took out two canned drinks with healing effects, giving them to Boss and Little Dusk.

After drinking, their complexion became a bit better.

But no one had said anything yet.

"What happened just now?" Gu Qing Shan tried asking.

Boss thought briefly about it: "When the Dance concluded, I noticed that something seemed to be perceiving the world through me, and then those tubes appeared"

Gu Qing Shan stood up, approached the Sacred Gate, then knocked on the door and asked: "Why did you let those things in?"

The Sacred Gate pitifully said: 「 Those things were originally attached to him; I didn't let them in 」

Gu Qing Shan turned around to look at Boss, then at Little Dusk and Scarlet.

When I changed Scarlet's world jurisdiction, that didn't happen to her.

Or to Little Dusk.

That voice said that Boss was a 'key observation and control target'——

What exactly was it attempting to do?

Boss stood up with a grim expression and asked: "What did you do through that Dance earlier?"

"I turned you two into Samsara beings" Gu Qing Shan replied.

Boss thought briefly and quickly understood.

"From now on, that Lord of Infinite Origins would no longer be able to control us" Boss said.

Gu Qing Shan added: "But you would still be able to use your original powers and abilities"

Boss put up one hand.

A mass of radiance appeared in his palm.

"Miraculous…"

No one mentioned the tubes again.

But Gu Qing Shan knows that Boss was most likely a very unique character.

Gu Qing Shan was still thinking about what just happened.

Those tubes earlier looked like they were Technological artifacts.

How were they connected to the Lord of Infinite Origins?

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

There is too little information.

To find out the truth about this, I'll probably need to think of another way.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the screen of light that the Sacred Gate had been displaying——-

It was completely dark outside without any borders or any living things.

"Where exactly is this?" Gu Qing Shan wondered.

He put his hand on the door and lightly pushed.

The door didn't move at all.

The Sacred Gate said: 「 Boss man, if you want to leave, just tell me, no need to push 」

Gu Qing Shan asked: "Would something be able to take advantage of the moment when you open to sneak in?"

「 If you're concerned about that, then just grant yourself the right of passage and directly teleport outside 」the Sacred Gate explained.

Gu Qing Shan thought for a few moments and told everyone: "I have a way that'll ensure I'm not detected by the other party, let me go outside and take a look"

"Wait!" Boss suddenly called out.

"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

Boss pondered: "Since it had imprisoned us here, I suspect that this place might be a location where living beings cannot reach"

"What do you mean by 'a location where living beings cannot reach'?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

Boss seriously answered: "You probably don't know, but when I became the Eternal Abyss, I discovered that my Abyssal form contained several objects of extreme power, but all of them had been in a constant state of slumber"

"How powerful were they?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"More powerful than anything I've ever seen before" Boss replied.

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and recalled something.

After unleashing the Seven Swords of Offering, during his Spirit Wanderer state, he saw the gigantic eyeball.

The God of Life swiftly perished in front of its gaze, even a Wraith Lord was barely able to stay alive and fled.

What terrifying power it had!

Gu Qing Shan was no longer in a hurry to leave and said: "I once saw a certain eyeball in a vision of the future, I had thought that you said it was yours…"

"It wasn't my eyeball, but rather something that was sealed away by being contained inside the Eternal Abyss——- the Eternal Abyss was originally supposed to ensure that those things remain in eternal slumber and to never awaken" Boss explained[1].

"Those things? You mean, there were more things similar to that eyeball?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"That's right, so the most terrifying thing that could happen was if they all woke up" Boss replied.

"Compared to yourself at your peak, who was more powerful?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

Boss paused briefly and answered: "I'm not sure either, but I had once sensed their powers during my peak——- if that eyeball awaken right now, it would easily erase all of us from existence"

Gu Qing Shan touched his forehead with his hand, a bit speechless.

Boss looked towards the empty darkness and also appeared slightly helpless.

"It's useless to talk about these things right now, because we absolutely cannot offend them—— it's only because we're most likely in that situation right now that I had to give you a reminder to be careful"

[1] This might be a retcon from the author, or that Boss had simply lied to everyone before about what the eyeball was due to his tendency to boast, and this isn't the first time he's done this. You're free to interpret this however you like
