Worlds’ Apocalypse Online-Chapter 482: Golden statue

“Gongzi, wake up”

A female voice called out.

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.

He was still in his old run-down apartment in the slums of his teenage and childhood years.

Shannu sat by the bed, gently looking over him.

“How embarrassing, I fell asleep without meaning to. How long was I out for?”

“1 day and 1 night”

“That long!?”

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

“You were simply too tired, how do you feel now?” Shannu asked.

Gu Qing Shan carefully checked his current conditions.

Both his mental and physical fatigue were all gone without a trace.

Falling into such a deep sleep, he managed to get his well-deserved rest and recovery.

Right now, he was at his peak performance.

“It’s quite good, I’m quite well-rested now, if only a bit hungry”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan stood up and stretched.

“What do you want to eat?” he asked Shannu.

Having enjoyed Gu Qing Shan’s cooking, Shannu giggled as she heard him ask that.

“What’s so funny?”

“I heard that in normal human society structure, the one responsible for cooking at home is usually the female, while the male is the one responsible for outside work”

“The times have changed, even men have to learn to take care of themselves nowadays”

“Well then, gongzi, I think yesterday’s soup was quite good”

“Then we’ll have some soup, and a light snack as well”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and put out a portion of spirit cooking.

Trying one piece of it, Shannu couldn’t help but praise: “That is so good”

These were spirit cooking prepared by Qin Xiao Lou.

Qin Xiao Lou’s cooking was considered first-rate in the cultivation world, combined with his decent brewery skills, he and Gu Qing Shan can go several days without running out of things to talk about.

Remembering Qin Xiao Lou, Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Of course it is, this spirit cooking isn’t something just anyone can make”

Shannu couldn’t help asking: “This wasn’t made by gongzi?”

“My senior brother made it”

“No wonder” Shannu nodded, “then, both of you came from the came culinary school?”

“…it’s not as you think”

“Eat first, I’ll prepare the soup”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan began getting busy.

“How much longer do you think we have until we reach that place called Justice Iron Fist Club?” Shannu asked as she ate.

This spirit cooking was so delicious.

Shannu suddenly felt that her choice to follow gongzi at that time was completely worth it.

Before Gu Qing Shan even replied, another voice spoke: [There are 5 days left in this journey. You will reach Justice Iron Fist Club in 5 days]

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

5 days.

This wasn’t a short period of time for him.

More importantly.

Ever since he started the journey to the Super Dimensional world, his time flow had become unified.

Every minute he spends here, one minute passes in Reality.

Well, since his understanding of the worlds has changed, that world already couldn’t be called ‘Reality’ anymore.

Because the immeasurable amount of worlds in the 900 million World Layers were all completely real.

The System called the world where Gu Qing Shan came from the ‘World Tomb’, but refuses to answer to Gu Qing Shan why it was named that way.

Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan was worried: “We’re leaving for such a long time, I hope our original world won’t be caught in some sort of chaos again”

After taking 5 days to get to the Justice Iron Fist Club, he’ll have to think of a way to remain there as well.

Who knows when he’ll be able to return.

Shannu consoled him: “Don’t worry gongzi, after the two worlds are merged, the power of all living beings will become stronger, everything will fall into proper order soon”

Thinking that was quite true, Gu Qing Shan calmed back down.

“You’re right, perhaps when we return, some genius might have already broken through to Rejuvenation realm”

…

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

A knock came to the door.

“Sorry to bother you, but we’ll reach your destination soon” the old man’s voice came from outside.

“Alright” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Shannu turned back into a sword and returned to Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea.

He stood up and went out.

The old man was waiting for him right at the door.

“Are you pleased with our room?” the old man asked.

“I’m very pleased, it’s been such a long time since I’ve managed to relax that much” Gu Qing Shan very sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Hearing that, the old man smiled: “I’m glad”

The old man led Gu Qing Shan onto the deck of the ship.

Gu Qing Shan noticed that the other rooms’ doors were opened with absolutely nothing inside.

“The other three guests have gotten off?”

“They did, their destinations weren’t really too far away, only Badleg Barry’s sorry excuse of a place took a little bit more effort getting to”

“Ah, I’m actually looking for him”

“So you wanted to meet him?” the old man turned back to look at Gu Qing Shan, seemingly found that unexpected.

Gu Qing Shan nodded to confirm.

The Spire Keeper Association was quite amiable towards me, so it isn’t an issue to tell them this.

I don’t really know Barry either.

Perhaps after the old man finds out, he’ll be able to give me a bit of advice as well.

Sure enough, the old man thought for a bit and asked: “Did you know Barry before?”

“I didn’t”

Gu Qing Shan further explained: “Barry once helped a certain person, since that person couldn’t make it there themselves, they asked me as a favor to find Barry and express their gratitude to him”

The old man nodded with understanding: “That guy Barry, he might be a bit dumb, but most people wouldn’t mind being acquainted with him”

“Why is that?”

“Because after so many years, he had used his actions to tell others without a doubt that he was someone to fear and admire”

“Fear and admire?”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit cautious.

This description usually means he very frequently does things that no one can predict.

If that’s the case, it might be a bit tough to become acquainted with Barry.

“What did he do exactly?” Gu Qing Shan tried asking.

The old man spoke: “He once captured a top-level Demon Lord and used 200 years to persuade the Demon Lord to give up evil and return to good, helping others as a source of joy”

“200 years? How impressive, did the Demon Lord get persuaded?”

“No, the Demon Lord killed itself”

While talking, they had reached the deck.

Gu Qing Shan took a look outside.

It was complete chaos, occasionally some strange scenery would flash into view for a brief moment before going away.

They were all living, breathing worlds. It was due to the ship passing them by at the exact correct angle that bits and pieces of what was happening in them became visible.

Gu Qing Shan noticed a gigantic shining gold statue standing in the middle of a city.

This went away in a split second.

A few moments later.

The ship began to slow down.

Invisible ripples spread at the bow of the ship.

This represented the ship passing through another real world.

Gu Qing Shan once again saw the gigantic golden statue.

Just as he wanted to observe the golden statue more carefully, the ship had already left the world.

Even though the ship slowed down, it was still a vehicle capable of traveling across infinite worlds.

Gu Qing Shan was only able to barely make out the golden stature’s appearance.

As he recalled what he saw, he felt that something was off.

“Strange…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

While thinking about that, the ship slowed down again, as another invisible ripple spread at the bow of the ship.

Another world appeared before Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.

He saw the same golden statue again.

Being able to see the same statue in several worlds in a row was by itself a strange thing.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the statue again.

This time, the ship didn’t immediately leave the world, so Gu Qing Shan managed to view the statue quite carefully.

The statue itself was unbelievably realistic, the facial expression was so well done that you could tell how much heart was put into this at a single glance.

It was the statue of an adult human man.
