Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1568 - Transcending



Chapter 1568: Transcending

The Age of Immemorial.

There was a small tree cove covered by leaves at a high position of the Twin Tree of Fate.

At this very moment.

Two fruits were sitting inside the tree cove, talking to one another in a serious manner.

“Brother, it’s about time we should leave already” Little Dusk urged.

“No need to be in so much hurry. Since you’ve learnt so many things from big brother and have seen so many stories, there’s something that big brother must tell you first” Gu Qing Shan firmly told her.

“Tell me, brother, I’m listening” Little Dusk anxiously said.

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and sincerely told her: “In the far future if there is ever a time when you face an insurmountable obstacle, you must remember that the only solution would be robbery”

“Ahhh, brother is so annoying, why are you telling me this again!” Little Dusk complained.

“Did I already tell you that?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

“Huh? I think you haven’t actually said that—– it’s so strange, why did I say ‘again?” Little Dusk confusedly muttered to herself.

Gu Qing Shan cut her off: “Alright, there’s no need to mind such a boring topic——– let’s discuss the main issue now”

Little Dusk calmed down again.

Gu Qing Shan explained: “Little Dusk, you and I are the fruits of the Twin Tree of Fate, so there are two Fates available us: The first would allow you to surpass all obstacles and triumph over all enemies; the second would let you find the strongest individual in the world and become their companion—— which one would you like to choose?”

Little Dusk answered without thinking: “Brother can pick one first and leave the remaining one to me”

Gu Qing Shan acted angry: “Dummy, if I pick first, how would other people look at your big brother? Wouldn’t they think of me as a bad brother who bullies their younger sister and takes only the benefits?”

Little Dusk hurriedly corrected herself: “Of course, brother is not a bad person, then I’ll pick one first——– but brother can at least secretly tell me which kind of Fate you would prefer, then I won’t choose the one that brother likes”

Gu Qing Shan grumbled a bit, then continued: “That is also secondary, the real question I wanted to ask you was something else”

“What’s that?” Little Dusk asked.

“After you’ve accepted one of these two Fates, what would you do if one day you regret your decision and wish to change your mind?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Little Dusk was surprised.

“Regret?” she muttered in a whisper.

“If one day in the future the world suddenly underwent an unprecedented change that caused everything to head towards destruction; if you regret the Fate that you’ve chosen in the past, what would you do?”

Gu Qing Shan pursued the question: “Would you overturn everything that had occurred before to resist the Fate that you’ve chosen?”

Little Dusk fell silent.

Gu Qing Shan looked at her and silently waited for an answer.

Time slowly went by.

Little Dusk finally answered: “The heaven and earth sustains me with sunlight and rain, the forest provides me with the food to stave off hunger, these living beings shelter me, the Law Behemoth protects me, and more importantly, with you always staying by myself, brother, there is nothing I would feel regretful about”

“Fate has given me so much. I feel nothing but grateful for it, so how could I possibly go against Fate?”

“If one day my Fate can no longer help me protect everything, then…”

She paused a bit before continuing: “Then I will transcend it”

“Transcend?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

“That’s right, I will use my own power to transcend Fate, allowing me to achieve more and turn my life into a greater and vaster one”

“Don’t worry brother, if the Apocalypse truly does arrive, I will definitely transcend my Fate. I will always stay by your side and protect you”

Little Dusk firmly said.

Gu Qing Shan slowly smiled while remaining silent for a few moments.

It’s been a very long time since he had been so happy.

And so—–

He rolled forward to push the leaf covering the tree cove aside before stepping aside.

“Sister, you can go first”

“Yes”

Little Dusk rolled out of the tree cove and headed forward until she reached the highest branch of the tree, facing the entirety of the jungle.

When she showed up, below the Twin Tree of Fate, countless elves and giants uttered resounding cheers like howling ocean waves and quaking mountains.

Countless species filled the jungle, all the factions and kingdoms in the world had sent their envoys here to participate in this ceremony.

All living beings had gathered under the same sky.

The Law Behemoths were flying in the sky above.

A gust of wind blew across the top of the tree.

The outer shell of the fruit instantly broke apart and became scattered in the wind, vanishing without a trace.

The light of dawn shined upon the ground and the Twin Tree of Fate, illuminating it in a charming colorful radiance.

It manifested into a pure-white sundress that covered the young girl’s body.

A vast river of stars began to manifest in the sky.

The stars silently descended and surrounded Little Dusk.

In the end, the stars manifested into four mystical runes that appeared on her back.

A Law Behemoth spoke with a resounding voice that echoed across the land:

「 Dusk, your birth grants you the power of four stars, but you can also choose to discard all of these precious powers to pursue that which your heart desires 」

“I cannot betray my heart’s desires, so I am willing to discard these four powers” the young girl declared.

「 Then, you shall choose one among the two Wings of Fate as the foundation of your power 」the Law Behemoth declared.

“Please tell me, what are the two Wings capable of?” the girl asked.

「 One wing shall help you surpass all hardship and triumph against all enemies; the other shall help you accumulate power and become the companion of the strongest 」the Law Behemoth replied.

The girl fell into thought.

The entire jungle went silent, all living beings held their breaths in wait for a result.

The girl then whispered: “My brother told me to choose first, then I will choose the power to surpass all hardship and triumph against all the enemies that dare to stand in my brother’s way”

After declaring that, the mystical runes of stars were burnt away into ash.

The ash began to give off a light that then converged into a pure-white wing on the left side of her back.

——it was only a single wing, but this pure-white wing that was attached to her back had emphasized her divine presence and dignity through its incompleteness, filled with a sense of stillness and elegance.

From the void of space, the sea of stars from above then descended onto her wing, giving off a glorious glow to complete its final embellishment.

「 The stars are the manifestation of Fate; they shall decorate your wing and guide your way 」the Law Behemoth declared.

The young girl smiled and nodded.

The Age of Old.

Reneedol stood in front of the Spirit Tortoise.

“Senior, I am this generation’s sect master of the Barren Clouds Heavenly Palace, please let me enter the Heavenly Palace”

The Spirit Tortoise observed her and asked: 「 Do you have the Heavenly Palace jade disk? 」

Reneedol replied: “The Heavenly Palace jade disk had already been broken before it was handed down to my generation, but I can prove my identity”

She took out a long rectangular jade box and carefully opened it to show the cracking Earth sword in it to the Spirit Tortoise.

The Spirit Tortoise examined the Earth sword closely and muttered: 「 I knew that it was heavily injured, but never did I think that it had actually broken… 」

“That’s right, I came to the Primordial Heaven Realm this time in order to search for the Heaven sword. I heard that only the Heaven sword would be able to help save it” Reneedol hurriedly explained.

The Spirit Tortoise looked at her with a complicated gaze and said: 「 It’s coming 」

“What? What’s coming?” Reneedol confusedly asked.

The Spirit Tortoise pulled its head and claws into its gigantic shell.

「 If you can survive for an hour, you will prove yourself to have a faint possibility of surviving the wilderness. At that time, come see me again and I will bring you to steal a jade disk 」

Reneedol was surprised.

Survive for an hour?

Without giving her time to think any further, an invisible fluctuation suddenly swept across the entire world.

An immense spirit pressure that can’t be stopped pressed down from the sky.

She was forced down to the ground by this spirit pressure, unable to move a single step.

Her vision became blurry.

Reneedol suddenly noticed that she was standing in the middle of countless people.

Only to see that all of them were cultivators in full armor, each of them had an extremely serious expression on their faces.

Reneedol silently sensed the spirit energy fluctuations coming from them and found that even the weakest among them was several times more powerful than she was.

——these people are horrifyingly strong.

Could this be an illusion?

…No, this is too realistic to be an illusion.

She noticed that this entire region, all over the hills and mountains, were filled with armored cultivators.

They each had their weapons readied in their hands, some of them had accompanying spirit beasts as well, and everyone was standing in an orderly combat formation.

In the sky, the lights from various airships flew back and forth—– the ones that were moving slowly were gigantic war fortresses hovering above the formations of cultivators.

The entire world felt solemnly silent.

The only sound that could be heard was that of the cultivators gathering their powers, seemingly waiting for something.

“READY———”

Someone shouted out loud.

“What?” Reneedol couldn’t help but shrink.

The voice that gave the order declared again: “EVERYONE, ATTACK!”

All the cultivators shouted in response: “ATTACK!”

But they didn’t have the chance to attack.

Far above the sky, a flash of white light shot towards Reneedol’s direction.

Boom!

The white light exploded in the middle of the formation.

The immense force completely tore the ground apart.

The cultivators around Reneedol were struck by the white light, causing their flesh and blood to splash about everywhere.

Before Reneedol could react at all, she suddenly felt something hanging on her shoulder.

As she turned her head to look, she found that it was half an arm of a cultivator.

“Eek!”

Reneedol was unable to hold back her shriek.

At the very next moment.

An intense, unblockable shockwave struck her that tossed her body into the sky.

Before she died, she saw a large head filled with eyes slowly looking down from above the sky.

The sensation of intense pain struck her before her body was completely ripped apart.

Her vision then went dark.
