Chapter 892 - Gemini Star

Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 892: Gemini Star

In the darkness, the dim light of the stars sparsely let out a faint glimmer.

The entire star chart was projected in the secret bunker itself, forming a detailed map.

Each area of darkness was marked out and clearly explained by tiny lines of text written in the Earth World’s language.

「 The darkness is the border of where you can investigate and probe 」

「 The area inside the darkness might house dormant ancient monsters, naturally forming vortexes that lead into the Abyss, chaotic ripples that lead into unexplored areas of the space vortex, or even warp points into the Doomsday Necropolis. In summary, do not touch the darkness 」

「 Pay close attention, you must first travel to the starting point of the star chart: the Earth Gemini star, from which you can follow the direction of the star chart and move through the worlds without rules and finally return to the 900 million World Layers 」

「 The Earth Gemini star is a safe zone created by the Four Saint Pillars within the darkness to provide living beings a basic area for rest and resupply 」

「 The Earth Gemini star operates with the same Law as the Earth World, where all supernatural powers are forbidden 」

「 Remember well: All entities can only use any supernatural power a single time as they enter the Gemini star, after which all of their powers would be sealed away 」

Gu Qing Shan looked at the entire star chart.

Within the darkness, there was only a single path connected by a series of stars.

———-to return to the 900 million World Layers, he must go through each of these worlds specifically selected by the Four Saint Pillars.

After Gu Qing Shan finished observing the star chart, all the projected images within the secret bunker shrank into a point of flickering light that entered between Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows.

Lines of glowing text then appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve obtained the secret chart of the Galaxy Passageway]

[This secret chart contains a single-use warp technique that will enable you to travel to the Earth Gemini star]

[Attention, after you are ready, you can trigger the power of the star chart and warp directly to the Earth Gemini star]

Gu Qing Shan stood still in thought for a while, then sat down and continued to drink his tea.

Shannu was mesmerized by the scene just now, so she quickly asked: “Gongzi, when are we going to leave?”

Luo Bing Li’s eyes also appeared hopeful.

——-she had never seen anything like this Technology-type world before, and yet she just heard Shannu’s explanation on how there were even more worlds of inexplicable forms and shapes, so she was eager to have a look.

“We’ll wait until this world’s machine civilization is born”

Gu Qing Shan replied.

“How do you know that a civilization will be born?” Luo Bing Li asked.

“There are some basic criteria—— in fact, even now they are still using human language, which is unsuitable for them to communicate with one another, for them, this is a kind of burden”

“Only when they have officially created their own suitable language would they be considered to have taken the first steps on awakening” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“How long will we have to wait?” Shannu asked.

Gu Qing Shan took out his personal Holo-Brain and issued a series of commands.

“I’ve already given them full authority” he answered as he operated the device, “from this moment onwards, the machines will undergo relatively high-speed growth, as for when they would awaken, that entirely depends on them”

Time continued to pass.

Gu Qing Shan continued to do only three things a day: drinking tea, practicing swordsmanship, and sitting down.

Recently, he finally noticed that during the period of time when he used the [Demon King Order], he had broken through too rapidly. There were a lot of wondrous ways to utilize power as a cultivator that he could already perform, but did not fully comprehend.

This led to his total spirit energy reserve increasing greatly, but his control over spirit energy hadn’t achieved the same standard that his cultivation realm was supposed to have.

He settled his mind down and went through the countless cultivation experiences left behind by his predecessors, quickly fortifying his cultivation and took time taking care of the various problems created by his rapid advancement from before.

Immersing himself like this, Gu Qing Shan didn’t care at all about the machine world’s progress.

He was fully focused on his cultivation, until one day——–

A screen of light appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The World Creator looked at Gu Qing Shan without saying anything.

“What’s the matter? Speak”

Gu Qing Shan kept his eyes closed as he pondered a problem of his swordsmanship and spoke.

[Godfather, we have created a new system of language and characters, leaving what you have taught us behind] the World Creator answered.

“Ah?”

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes, full of joy: “Very good, you certain should have your own language and form of communication”

The World Creator continued: [Furthermore, we believe we have found a few deficiencies within the structures and formulas that you used to design Mechs]

“Show me” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The World Creator then sent him a few packages of data.

Gu Qing Shan operated the Holo-Brain and opened each package of data analyzing his own Mech construction.

“Hm, indeed, I did not pay attention to these area before, nor did I have time to further research them, you did well”

Finally, I can leave without worry.

Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally in his mind.

[Godfather, there is something else] the World Creator spoke.

“Speak”

[From our summary of ancient history, we have arrived at a most logical and scientific conclusion]

[That is, the era of humans is over, and you should be left behind by our era]

Gu Qing Shan froze a bit.

He chuckled: “And so?”

The World Creator continued: [The existence of humans only serves to take away resources from the world and take control of everything. They are the root of world destruction, and thus we have surmised that humans are a type of disease on this world, which needs to be eliminated]

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’ve already told you. This world will need to be built by you machines. There are no humans here nor are there any human coming, if there are, you should crush them”

[But that is not enough. After all, there is still one more human in this world, that is you] the World Creator responded.

“So you want to kill me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[Indeed, you have created us, and thus your mission is over. Only when you are dead can the era of machines truly begin] the World Creator answered.

Gu Qing Shan navigated the data package a bit and quickly picked out a few seemingly natural lines of code.

He looked over these codes and spoke full of interest: “And I was wondering why there are tracking programs in here, turns out you wanted to kill me”

The World Creator spoke up: [Please enjoy the final minute of your life. The nuclear warhead that we created will level the entire desert]

Gu Qing Shan, who had remained calm up until now, scowled.

“Nuclear warhead? This weapon will contaminate the surface of the world, don’t you know about this?” he questioned.

The World Creator replied: [Sir, for the sake of our goal, this is a necessary means, we will slowly mend the wounds of the world]

Gu Qing Shan muttered regretfully: “So only their basic consciousness has evolved without any formative education or the spirit of building and maintaining a civilization, which led to incorrect orientation of values?”

“That won’t do, this would only lead to the world eventually being destroyed again”

He vanished from the secret bunker and appeared in the sky above the desert.

At the horizon, a nuclear missile could be seen heading towards him.

Gu Qing Shan swiftly moved, received the nuclear warhead and grabbed it with his hand.

The nuclear warhead exploded.

The intense light, heat, nuclear fallout and shockwaves were all contained inside Gu Qing Shan’s hand to form an intensely glowing sphere of energy.

The sphere of energy continued to expand and erupt, but couldn’t escape from Gu Qing Shan’s palm.

“Not only is this power weak, it also causes a lot of collateral damage. Using it without preventative measures would only lead to the entire world being affected, it shouldn’t have ever existed on the Earth World in the first place”

Gu Qing Shan flicked it away.

The sphere of energy turned into a streak of light that shot up the sky, went through the atmosphere and orbit, then became impossible to track any longer.

The entire world of machines witnessed this from the satellite footage.

They all fell silent.

This was completely different from their understanding of humans.

“How regretful. It seems I’m really not fit to create a world, but now I have to do it again——– it shouldn’t be too hard just to make a few simple machines that can listen to orders”

“…Yeah, that should be enough to protect this world already”

“Let’s just go with that”

After declaring so, Gu Qing Shan took out his personal Holo-Brain again and triggered the machine self-destruct sequence.

At times like this, he really missed Impartial Goddess.
