Chapter 1316 - The Path Of Apocalypse (39)

Chapter 1316: The Path Of Apocalypse (39)

The tenth floor.

Ming Shu stood at the stairs linking the two floors.

She held Qi Yu’s hand tightly. Qi Yu looked at her in surprise. When Little Five asked her to take a look at the different floors, she didn’t come up to the tenth floor.

Little Five didn’t mention it, either. There seemed to be nothing on the tenth floor.

She held Qi Yu’s hand and walked up.

Qi Yu saw a door.

It looked like the door at the entrance of the pagoda.

Ming Shu stood in front of the door and placed her hand on it. After some time, she pushed the door.

However…

It didn’t move.

Ming Shu: “…”

Awkward!

“Wife?”

“Cough…” Ming Shu used more force. The door still didn’t move. What stupid door is this!

Why isn’t it moving!

“Baby, stand further away.”

“Oh…”

Qi Yu stepped back. He saw his wife taking out a knife. She moved her wrist and slashed it at the door.

Clang—

Sparks flew everywhere and a scar was left on the door.

The door still didn’t move.

Ming Shu: “…” Impressive!

Just as Ming Shu was about to change weapons, an image appeared at the door.

A man was standing in the image and looking at her intently.

He was around 40 years old. The clothes he wore were ancient.

Ming Shu stepped back. “Who are you?”

The man smiled confidently. “Ming Shu, don’t waste your time. You can’t open this door.”

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Xi Heng?”

“This name…” The man sighed. “I have not heard it for a long time. You can call me that too.”

“Hah.”

Ming Shu used the knife as support. “You are a calculative person.”

Xi Heng said, “To us, time is not a problem, right?”

“If it’s not a problem, why do you still want longevity? Why don’t you just die?”

Xi Heng: “…”

This was not what he meant.

“So, what do you want to do?” Ming Shu decided to go straight to the point. “Are you trying to control the Apocalypse Pagoda? Do you want to rule over the Thousand Mirror World? This is a good ambition.”

“That year during the Battle at Spirit Water, you killed thousands of people…”

“Sigh, don’t blame it on me. The Apocalypse Pagoda asked me to do it.”

Qi Yu looked at Ming Shu in shock.

He guessed that she must have something to do with the Battle at Spirit Water but…

Killing thousands of people…

“…” Xi Heng’s expression changed. “It didn’t ask you to kill them.”

Ming Shu remained nonchalant. “Oh, it must be my mistake, then.”

Xi Heng: “…”

“This happened so long ago. Do you still want to take revenge on me? Speaking of which, your ancestor’s bodies are still floating outside. You might be able to find them.”

Xi Heng shook his head. “I understand your feelings.”

Ming Shu looked at him. “What do you understand?”

Xi Heng tilted his body slightly. The thing behind him was revealed.

It was a golden pillar. There were chains all across it.

Xi Heng said, “You were locked in here for so many years. It is normal that you wanted to kill them to vent your frustration when you got out.”

Qi Yu stopped breathing for a moment.

Is this the truth?

She was once… locked up here.

Qi Yu tightened his grip.

Ming Shu’s expression didn’t change. Even her tone didn’t change. “You’re amazing.”

Xi Heng blocked the pillar behind him again. “It has been your dream to destroy the Apocalypse Pagoda, right?”

Ming Shu was curious. “You want to destroy the Apocalypse Pagoda?”

Xi Heng didn’t deny it. “I waited so many years for this moment. If there were no Apocalypse Pagoda, there would be no Battle at Spirit Water.”

“So, you predicted when the Spirit Water would appear? I’m curious. How did you control the Apocalypse Pagoda?”

“That is a long story.”

“No worries, you can slowly tell your story. The fight below will last for some time.” Ming Shu took out a chair and asked Qi Yu to come and take a seat. “Please start your speech.”

Xi Heng: “…”

Xi Heng was puzzled at Ming Shu’s confidence.

He planned for so many years, so he wanted someone to witness his success too.

Hence, he didn’t reject the offer.

“It started after the Battle at Spirit Water…”

Just like what Grandma Gu said, the Xi family was hunted down by the people in Thousand Mirror World because they had powerful abilities and items.

The Xi family lost many people during the Battle at Spirit Water. Hence, they couldn’t resist the chase for long.

Many people from the Xi family died. Some betrayed their family and got the chance to live.

Xi Heng managed to escape with a small group of his men.

He wanted to use the power he got from the Apocalypse Pagoda to go back in time.

He wanted to change everything.

This power was not easy to control. The power injured him and he failed.

After trying many times, he finally learned to control the power.

However, when he went back in time, he arrived at a strange place.

He used his power again, but couldn’t get back to the Thousand Mirror World after trying multiple times. Because of the overuse of his ability, he lost his power.

In the end, he had to stay in Qi Yu’s world.

He realized that some worlds were attached to another world. This world had great power and was prone to problems.

He stayed in that world and rested.

Then, he used the Apocalypse to create problems in that world.

After that, he gained strength from those worlds. However, he did it slowly. He couldn’t handle the powers from those worlds so he had to do it bit by bit.

“The Harmony System?” Why did it look for me?

Xi Heng revealed a strange expression. “That was an accident. Something I didn’t expect.”

The Elder was the first-edition system and it was forsaken by the Time Control Department. He met it coincidentally and used it.

The Harmony System had more than one host. However, those people died really quickly so the Harmony System kept looking for more hosts.

He didn’t expect the Harmony System… which was the Elder, to be able to enter the Thousand Mirror World.

He felt that it must have something to do with the Apocalypse.

“Even God is helping me.” Xi Heng looked at Ming Shu. “Don’t you think so?”

“You are really lucky.” This seemed so familiar.

Xi Heng agreed. He nodded. “I’m indeed lucky.”

He looked at Qi Yu. “I found you and I found him too. When the Apocalypse was found, I thought that I was going to fail. However, I met him.

“He has a pure reiki in his body. You should have realized this too. This is something the Apocalypse needed.”

Qi Yu frowned. He didn’t know that he had reiki in his body.

Xi Heng continued, “so… I purposely let those people realize the secret of the Apocalypse. They used the Apocalypse to go to different worlds.

“They didn’t know how magnificent the scene was when they destroyed a world.

“Later, you appeared. I felt that I should have a backup plan. I know that you are hard to control so I didn’t aim to control you right from the start.”

Ming Shu narrowed her eyes. “So you asked the Harmony System to urge me to fall in love?”

Xi Heng nodded. He smiled. “Love can make someone lose their logic. It can make people give up everything. Reality proved this plan a success, right?”
