Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Standing there, Gu Qing Shan could practically feel himself freezing up.

While he had always been shameless and unafraid to scam others, he still couldn't help but feel his face getting hot at this point in time.

Looking around, he could see the great cultivators still prostrating themselves to maintain etiquette for welcoming the heavenly beings.

And they had also frozen up, unable to move.

——-what exactly is going on here?

We spent all of our spirit energy to summon the Divine Mountain of Sumeru to eradicate him, so why did it become like this?

What is 'Big Tabby Cat'? And what's 'Cherub'? Why do they sound so strange?

Even more importantly——

How come these descended heavenly beings are so familiar with Gu Qing Shan?

Does that mean all of our efforts have just been to summon his allies?

While these cultivators' minds were still spinning trying to rationalize what they were witnessing, the one that seemingly had the highest status, the Mystic Venerable of Absolute Victory from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, had already spoken up.

He clasped his fist towards Gu Qing Shan and smiled amicably: "Sir Reincarnation Envoy of the Samsara, was it you who summoned us?"

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan felt like he just got handed a ladder to step down on and quickly replied: "It wasn't me. It was actually these people who wanted to borrow your hands to kill me"

"Kill you?" the Mystic Venerable of Absolute Victory from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths appeared surprised.

All the heavenly beings appeared confused as well.

Gu Qing Shan then explained the entire matter from the very beginning.

After hearing him, the heavenly beings couldn't help but become angry.

"Tsk, who would have thought that the cultivators of the Human realm were so despicable" the Divine Envoy of the Five Realms' Altar angrily scoffed.

"Indeed, even with the Great Tribulation up ahead, they are still thinking of ganging up on those who had made great contributions to the entire cultivation world" the Great Emperor shook his head.

"Scoundrels who repay kindness with hatred" a certain female heavenly being scoffed in disdain.

They all stated their views on the matter, rousing up more and more emotions.

—-in reality, all of these heavenly beings were great cultivators who lost their lives on battlefields. Whether it was their talent or morals, they were the absolute best of the best who frequently did good things in life and spread kindness to living beings. It was because of this exact reason that the Divine Mountain of Sumeru considered them suitable and borrowed Gu Qing Shan's hands to 'convince' them to reincarnate as heavenly beings.

It was natural for them to look down on these cultivators' despicable acts.

"Brother Gu, just say the words and we'll beat them to death!"

The 33rd Heaven's Inspiring Formidable Heaven Shaking Great Emperor declared while banging his chest.

"That's right, just tell us what we should do"

"Since we're already here, we should indeed pass justice"

"That's right!"

All the heavenly beings declared one by one.

Gu Qing Shan smiled, but told them: "Don't be in such a hurry, it is the Divine Mountain's will that would be the deciding factor during this matter"

He turned to the monkey.

The heavenly beings also went silent and turned to the monkey.

——the monkey had always arranged various matters following the Divine Mountain of Sumeru's will, so it was natural that it was the mountain's spokesperson.

The great cultivators had been unable to say anything this entire time, but finally saw a ray of light.

So everything will depend on this monkey after all!

The cultivators all bowed to the monkey and called out loud in unison: "Divine Mountain above, the cultivator Gu Qing Shan had arbitrarily murdered the disciples of our Heaven realm, please uphold justice, Divine Mountain!"

Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and simply glanced coldly at them.

The monkey had also understood the situation, so it formed a hand seal and closed its eyes to think.

A few moments later.

The monkey turned to Gu Qing Shan and spoke solemnly: "The Divine Mountain had learnt of what occurred here. It was truly a mistake for you to arbitrarily eliminate those who obtained inheritance from the Heaven realm—-"

The cultivators were almost unable to help themselves from cheering out loud as they heard that.

"——to cover for your mistake, the Divine Mountain has no choice but to retrieve the souls of all the dead people and send them into Huang Quan"

"Gu Qing Shan, do you object?"

The entire region went silent again, no, the entire world.

Everyone that was paying attention to this place couldn't help but slowly digest the meaning of these words.

——-the legendary Divine Mountain of Sumeru had just volunteered to cover for Gu Qing Shan's mistake.

Gu Qing Shan furrowed his eyebrows: "How could this end like that? Ask the Divine Mountain to reconsider, if I hadn't returned in time and they were to harm the lives of our Bai Hua sect disciples, what would my Shifu have done?"

The monkey seriously listened to him and closed its eyes again.

A few moments later.

It opened its eyes again: "Truly, the Divine Mountain agrees with your opinion. If your Shifu had seen her disciples being harmed and her sect destroyed, your Shifu would have destroyed this world—— she would have also fought her way into the Heaven realm and eliminated the heavenly beings who had taught these people and plunge them into the Hells of Huang Quan, ensuring that they would never be able to reincarnate"

"And so, Gu Qing Shan, you have actually earned a great deal of Merit!"

Gu Qing Shan happily agreed: "Exactly"

The monkey turned to the cultivators kneeling on the ground and scoffed: "You garbage had better not come to the Divine Mountain to face your Tribulations later on, otherwise——-"

The cultivators all felt their hearts tightening.

Suddenly, the monkey paused and began scratching its head: "Wait a minute, Gu Qing Shan, the Divine Mountain actually has something important to tell you"

"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Didn't you notice? All of the cultivators that are currently here have only managed to reach Paragon realm at most, there aren't any cultivators who made it past the [Yama King] realm yet" the monkey told him.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to scan the kneeling cultivators.

—-sure enough, even the strongest cultivator here had only achieved the peak of Paragon realm.

Cultivation realms are unique to the Laws of Cultivation, the realm decides how much spirit energy a cultivator would be able to store inside their bodies.

The more spirit energy one had in their reserve, the more powerful their techniques would be.

If the total amount of spirit energy was limited, then no matter how powerful an Immortal Craft was, they would still not be able to exert their true power.

"I was also wondering why these people's Immortal Crafts were as weak as paper…"

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

"That's right, Gu Qing Shan, you need to take care of the Yama Heavenly Realm's issue as soon as possible, otherwise, no cultivator in the lower realms would be able to face the [Yama King] realm Tribulation again" the monkeys urged him.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised and asked: "What does it have to do with me?"

The monkey opened its eyes wide: "You're the Lord of the Yama Heavenly Realm, how could it not be related to you?"

Their eyes stared straight at one another.

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and suddenly remembered something.

In the past, when I faced the [Yama King] realm Tribulation, the Yama Heavenly Realm was actually under the Wraith realm's control, but I broke through the Wraith realm's illusion and obtained the Yama Heavenly Realm.

———the last remaining pavilion of the Yama Heavenly Realm is still inside my left eye!

In that case, I truly have blocked off the path of advancement for all cultivators.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "I have no way to take that pavilion back out again, it has completely fused with my Iris Technique——- what should I do now?"

"Don't worry, the Divine Mountain has already made the preparations"

The monkey reached around to its back and pulled out a dirty wooden sign, handing it to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan examined it and found that it was just an empty wooden sign.

The monkey then handed him a brush pen and said: "You're the Lord of the Yama Heavenly Realm, so you can simply write the rules of the Tribulation on this and the Laws of Heaven and Earth will recognize it. The cultivators of the infinite worlds would now need to follow these rules in order to pass the Tribulation"

"Is that possible?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

"Of course it is, after all, you saved the Yama Heavenly Realm and became recognized as the Lord by the tattered pavilion, so the Laws of the Yama Heavenly Realm had become attached to you" the monkey explained.

Everyone had practically forgotten to breathe as they heard this explanation.

This was a completely unseen historical moment——-

A cultivator had become the Lord of a Tribulation right in front of them.

He was about to determine the rules of the [Yama King] realm Tribulation and decide the fate of all cultivators to come.

The great cultivators prostrating on the ground really didn't know what they should do right now.

They were all no match for him.

The Heavenly Mountain that the Heavenly Tower summoned was sent flying before it could descend.

After spending all their effort to summon another Heavenly Mountain, all the heavenly beings of this mountain were his allies, and even the Heavenly Mountain itself was supporting him, telling him how well he did killing those people.

That was already surprising.

But now, he was going to become the Lord of a Heaven's Tribulation!

——it's already too late to try and curry favors with him.

This was someone that refuses to leave even a grain of sand in his eyes.

Over.

It's all over.

These were the thoughts of the great cultivators.

Gu Qing Shan first looked at the wooden sign, then at the prostrating cultivators with bitter expressions on their faces that almost seemed like they were about to cry.

Gu Qing Shan sighed, then swayed the wooden sign in his hand a bit before saying:

"Thanks to your reinforcement"

"I've finally found a method to ensure that the disciples of Bai Hua sect would remain safe"

He picked up the brush pen and swiftly wrote the rules of the Heaven's Tribulation on the wooden sign.

After he finished writing, the wooden sign began to give off a golden glow before vanishing into the void of space.

The monkey told him with satisfaction: "It is done! From now on, the [Yama King] realm Tribulation will be conducted following your rules——- the cultivators of the infinite world could finally face their Tribulations again"

It happily danced around the scene before suddenly taking flight.

"Gu Qing Shan, I'm be going first—- the Divine Mountain is currently horribly busy, everyone is making preparations for that occasion——- you know the one"

It winked at Gu Qing Shan before silently mouthing the words.

[Samsara Clash of Supremacy]

Gu Qing Shan naturally saw it clearly, so his heart sank a bit and asked:

"What would happen here now that you leave?"

The monkey was surprised: "What else is there to do here?"

Gu Qing Shan froze.

The monkey continued: "Are you saying you won't be able to take care of this garbage by yourself as a Star River Saint realm cultivator?"

It then pointed at the heavenly beings: "Alright, since you're now a Lord of Heaven's Tribulation, you really do have to be mindful of your status, I'll leave these people here for you temporarily—— if there's something you need, just ask them to do it; if there's something you want to ask the Divine Mountain, you can also ask them to relay the message—- all in all, when everything is over, the Divine Mountain will naturally summon them back to the Heaven realm"

Gu Qing Shan truly had plenty of things to ask, so when he saw that the monkey left so many heavenly beings here with him, he felt assured.

"Thank you brother monkey, once I'm done with everything here, I'll make sure to show my gratitude to the Divine Mountain on another occasion"

He clasped his fist and said.

"Indeed, see you later"

The monkey also clasped its fist at him before it flew back onto the Divine Mountain, disappearing without a trace.
