Chapter 368 - Warning
Translated by: La0o9TN: Unfortunately, because it’s almost the end of the year, both me and my editors are quite busy, so in order to not lower translation quality, as well as giving everyone some breathing room, there will be no new chapters for exactly 7 days starting tomorrow.
Gu Qing Shan leaned on the armrest of his chair as he lightly shook the ice in his shot glass.
“As long as the worlds are merged, the manufacturing of cultivation resources will be dealt with easily”
“The 6 arts will very quickly go into everyone’s daily lives”
“As for the problem of equality between the worlds..”
He only stopped for a bit before continuing: “Because of my identity, I can at least guarantee this world receiving relatively equal treatment in the foreseeable future”
“To join a sect? To work for your country? Or become a loose cultivator?”
“Everyone will get the right to choose”
Liao Xing was stunned as he listened.
As one of the most brilliant minds to be born in the last 100 years, he understood the implications of everything Gu Qing Shan said.
Because of that, Liao Xing temporarily couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Gu Qing Shan has definitely gone to another world.
He has a prominent status in that world.
He knows the method to merge two worlds.
He is about to turn two worlds into one.
With how Gu Qing Shan had always acted, together with his current tone and facial expression, Liao Xing could tell what he’s saying is the truth.
Liao Xing still couldn’t believe: “Other worlds? You mean, there are more than one world out there?”
Gu Qing Shan laughed: “So many unbelievable cultivation scriptures suddenly appeared, do you really think they came from thin air?”
As Liao Xing and Zhang Ying Hao listened, they felt what he was saying was unbelievable, but obvious at the same time.
It’s obvious, because what Gu Qing Shan provided are systematic.
With how knowledgeable they are they could tell it’s practically impossible to create such a complete cultivation system without a few hundred, or even thousand years of trial and error.
Unless they’re God, no one could do such a thing.
And they’re very sure that Gu Qing Shan isn’t God.
So the answer is clear.
But they had always refused to believe that answer.
Now that Gu Qing Shan had openly admitted it, it’s useless even if they want to pretend they don’t know.
Zhang Ying Hao who had tried to stay silent up until now couldn’t help but speak up.
“You’re really saying that there’s another world besides our own?” he asked.
“There is, but not just one”
“Not just one?” Zhang Ying Hao repeated.
“That’s right, even I am not really sure how many worlds there are”
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit: “The ones I know include, erm, our world, the cultivation world, Shen Wu, and another world that I’m about to go to”
“Ah right, the last world is also coming to an end so a lot of people there are trying to escape, there are definitely more than just that many”
Both Zhang Ying Hao and Liao Xing were both speechless.
Liao Xing slapped his cheeks to regain his composure: “I need to think; I need to think carefully about this!”
The door swung open.
Ye Fei Li retracted his skeletal wings and walked in.
“So damn tired” saying so, he threw himself onto the sofa.
“How’s the situation at the desert?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Those Giants are really strong individually, and the fortress they’re building is also very impressive, I even had to use a bit of force to escape” Ye Fei Li told him.
He fell silent for a bit, then asked hesitantly: “They’re also unkillable?”
“Yeah” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“If I had such a tough time, the others will definitely not be their opponents, seems like this world is done for” Ye Fei Li closed his eyes.
Zhang Ying Hao spoke worriedly: “Unless everyone can cultivate at the same speed as Xie Shuang Yan, they won’t be useful against hell”
“That’s right, even with the [Cultivation Bracelet], humanity had only just begun cultivating, it truly is impossible to fight against these unkillable monsters” Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He looked at the War God UI.
[Estimated time of arrival for Huang Quan reinforcements: 01:05”
One hour and five minutes left until the reinforcements arrive.
What will arrive exactly?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit anxious.
He sent his voice through inner sight to ask the Earth Sword: “Earth Sword, I remember you said you once hid in the space vortex for a very long time”
「 Yeah, I hid in the space vortex for about 10,000 years 」 the Earth Sword answered.
“You’ve existed for a very long time, have you ever been to Huang Quan?”
「 I passed through the border of it once, but it was brief, and I didn’t go in too deep 」
“What’s it like at the border of Huang Quan?”
「 Within the space vortex, there’s a huge black tunnel, I only hid inside the tunnel briefly before leaving, as far as I know, you need to pass through the entire tunnel to arrive at Huang Quan 」
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized a more important issue.
If the reinforcements are truly strong, they would’ve already dealt with the situation back in Huang Quan and not let these dead men from Hell manifest on the human realm.
Shaking his head, he discarded the thought.
It’s fine, they’re about to arrive anyways, we’ll talk more when we meet.
Time slowly passed.
One hour later.
[Ting]!
The System notification popped up.
A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[Reinforcements from Huang Quan are about to arrive]
[Thanks to your great efforts of stopping the rapid spread of the Frozen Hell, reinforcements shall come see you first]
[Please look for a wide enough space for the first meeting with Huang Quan reinforcements]
Reading through that, Gu Qing Shan stood up and left.
“Where are you going?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
“To see a new potential ally, want to come?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Ally? Why didn’t I hear about this ally before? Alright, of course I want to come” Zhang Ying Hao stood up.
Ye Fei Li and Liao Xing were also interested.
historical
The four of them came out of the mansion.
It was now a bit late in the evening.
The sky was turning dark.
“So where will we be meeting this potential ally?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
Just outside the mountaintop mansion is a relatively large field.
Gu Qing Shan had once fought briefly with Anna here to prove the power of spirit energy.
“We only need to wait at the empty field” he said.
Everyone nodded, expressing their understanding.
So the other side will come to meet them.
Obvious, the other side should also have quite the status, otherwise Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t make a point to personally go and greet them.
Just who is it?
While curious, they all walked over to the empty field.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI again.
[Reinforcements will arrive in 1 minute]
Gu Qing Shan then looked over at his three companions and spoke: “The reason why I told you about the existence of other worlds today, is because what you’re about to see next might completely blow away your common sense”
The three of them exchanged looks, clearly anxious.
Liao Xing just covered up his eyes: “My common sense is broken enough, damn it! I should probably be drinking myself silly right about now”
“Who’s coming” Ye Fei Li was interested.
“I have no idea what’s coming either, but either way, it’s probably here to help us” Gu Qing Shan said.
The countdown finally reached 0 on the War God UI.
“It’s here” Gu Qing Shan said.
The four of them looked around the field.
Nothing.
Then abruptly, a light shined down from the dark sky.
“It’s above” Zhang Ying Hao spoke.
A gigantic glowing scroll appeared in the middle of the sky.
It gently fluttered down before unravelling in front of Gu Qing Shan’s group.
The outer of the scroll was yellowed from age, the corners and edges considerably damaged and tattered, even the middle of the scroll had small, yellow holes like someone had used incense to burn through them.
Overall, the scroll looked incredibly aged and worn.
At the start, there was nothing at the center of the scroll.
When it slowly unraveled, a large word in red manifested.
『 WARNING! 』
Seeing that, the four of them tensed up.
And then, the following text started to appear.
『 If you are a new arrival in hell, then this warning is for you 』
『 If you are reading these words, you must be trash among trash, scum that wasted all the opportunity to do good things given in life. What exactly do you do every day? Your life is so pathetically empty that you don’t have anything better to do except bad things? Or are you a ‘Yes’ man that follows everything others tell you to do and doesn’t dare to refute your gang’s boss? Little man, your life was bad, and one last thing: During your long, or perhaps short-lived life, do you not have anything else better to do other than evil? 』
『 Very well, prepare to enjoy the eternal pain brought by hell, and one day when you live once again, try to not be mundane, and stop masturbating in front of your computer. Get out of your room, make a few friends, go and see the vast world that is outside, find something that you really want to do, work and prove that your life is meaningful, swearing that if you don’t manage to become a great person, you’ll volunteer to fall back into the embrace of hell. Now, we’ve warned you, come, begin your repentance in agony so that one day you may begin your journey anew 』
After reading everything on the scroll, the four fell silent.
“Look, it’s talking to you” Zhang Ying Hao patted Liao Xing shoulder.
