Chapter 1205: The Harbinger

“What’s a ‘Harbinger of Apocalypse’s End’?” Gu Qing Shan asked as he walked.

[Unclear, there aren’t many similar titles, but each of them holds a completely different meaning] the War God UI replied: [You will need to observe her fate closely, only then would you understand the significance of this title]

“In other words, I have to look for the answer from her myself”

[Correct]

Gu Qing Shan didn’t ask anything else and followed the three others forward.

Beneath his feet, the grey fog continuously spread.

Layers upon layers of fog converged to form stairs, leading the four of them into the endless nothingness.

Gu Qing Shan found his spirit sense to be completely useless here.

His sight could not see anything ahead of him either.

Clink clank, clink clank, clink clank——-

While they walked, the shackles on Ye Ru Xi’s feet were dragged along the stairs, causing the clanging sound of metal.

After a short while, she became fully relaxed.

“At this point, we’ve thoroughly gotten away from my world” she said.

“If you could already escape this way, why didn’t you run away by yourself before?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

Ye Ru Xi shook her head and replied: “If I had done so, the ordinary people of that world would have been mercilessly massacred by Apocalypse, which I could not bear myself to allow happen”

She turned around and looked over Gu Qing Shan, Zhang Ying Hao, and Ye Fei Li.

“Thank you for getting rid of the Apocalypse, so that I can leave without any worries” she gratefully thanked them.

“No need to be so formal, we’re comrades now” Zhang Ying Hao smiled.

Ye Fei Li nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, what kind of place is the ultimate secret supposed to be?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Ye Ru Xi replied: “We’re about to arrive, but entering the palace is only the very first step, everything else will depend on your suitability”

“Suitability to what?” Ye Fei Li asked.

“To the Awaitings” Ye Ru Xi appeared a bit respectfully frightened and replied.

She suddenly stopped, reached out her hand, then lightly tapped the void of space.

Grey fog intensely surged forward, then quickly parted ways.

A gigantic bronze gate that reached the high clouds above slowly manifested from within the fog.

This gate knew no boundaries, nor any thickness, just by looking at it, one would feel an untold sense of vicissitudes and ancientness.

——-as if this bronze gate had always been here, hidden in the fog, simply uncovered by anyone.

The gate opened.

A weak green glow then quickly covered the space around the gate.

“Don’t touch it, this is a talisman barrier, those without permission cannot enter”

Ye Ru Xi was explaining to the other three when a high-pitched screech resounded from an extreme distance away.

In just a few moments, that sound had reached the four of them.

Two figures suddenly landed in front of the four.

The Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler.

They were completely covered in wounds with blood still seeping from within; quite clearly, they had gone through an extremely tough battle.

Their presence had returned to their peak state, but Gu Qing Shan’s group was still in a suppressed state.

“What were you fighting?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Soul Shrieker scoffed and asked in return: 『 「 Do you really think I’m going to tell you? 』」

The Raging Flame Traveler also stated: 「 Don’t even think about obtaining any information from us! 」

They stared closely at Gu Qing Shan, their killing intent practically boiling, but still did not try to attack.

——-they currently sided with [Chaos], and [Chaos] had forbidden the two sides from fighting in this crucial moment.

A second later.

Grey text quickly appeared in front of their eyes:

[Attention, this is the final battle within the Apotheotic Combat]

A single line of text drew the total attention of both sides.

Everyone focused their minds.

New lines of grey text started to manifest one after another:

[Order can no longer reach this place, so you are temporarily safe]

[But you all shoulder the responsibility for the ultimate goal of Chaos, so you must accept the true trial of Chaos right at this location]

[To achieve true Apotheosis, you must search for it yourselves]

[From this moment onwards, you must raise the flames of your willpower and walk the path of your fates, searching for that unique path and climb the steps onto your Godhood]

[They who succeed will become the Deity of Chaos, thus wielding the true power of our Era]

[Go]

[The ultimate secret of Chaos had finally been opened]

All the grey text slowly faded after they finished displaying.

Suddenly, a new line of text appeared:

[Ye Ru Xi is an innate Deity of Chaos, she does not need to do anything but wait for the results of others]

Everyone turned to Ye Ru Xi.

“In truth, after entering the ultimate secret, I wouldn’t be able to help you with anything either way. Everyone can only depend on themselves to search” Ye Ru Xi explained.

“Do you have any experience you’d like to share?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

It wasn’t just Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li, but also the Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler who perked up their ears to listen.

Ye Ru Xi shook her head: “My experiences would do more harm than good if I reveal them to you, as the situation that everyone faces would be different from one another”

Everyone appeared a bit disappointed.

Without changing her expression, Ye Ru Xi silently sent her voice to the other three:

“Listen clearly, there are a number of statues inside where an Awaiting’s will can descend upon”

“If you touch the glowing statues, you will awaken the corresponding Awaiting who will test you. If they are pleased with your performance, they will grant their [Chaos] seed of power to you, allowing you to become a Deity of Chaos and usher in the new Era”

“You can also touch the destroyed statues, but there is a certain degree of danger in doing that——— as their corresponding Awaitings are already dead. Their seed of [Chaos] might be incomplete or withered, so although you can still obtain power from them, there would be no telling how far they’d be able to aid you grow”

“Seeds of [Chaos]?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Ye Ru Xi replied: “Yes, they are born from a single strand of power, from which they would eventually grow into a complete system of supernatural power”

Gu Qing Shan immediately questioned: “Isn’t that the same as the archetypes of [Order] and [Chaos]?”

“No, as they do not reinforce, evolve, and grow. This is power that has already reached its ultimate form——- a kind of entrustment and blessing from the creator of [Chaos]” Ye Ru Xi explained.

The three of them held their breaths.

Creator——- of [Chaos].

“Does [Order] have a creator as well?” Gu Qing Shan asked right away.

“They are the other Awaitings, they do not reside here, nor would they heed my call” Ye Ru Xi replied.

Gu Qing Shan’s mind quickly moved around; he then asked the War God UI: “I assume that there is another unique Deity from the side of [Order] whose identity is essentially the same as Ye Ru Xi”

[There is] the War God UI replied.

“What kind of Deity are they?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[They are called the Slumbering Era’s Songster of Night, but they had never appeared] the War God UI replied.

Gu Qing Shan fell silent.

Harbinger of Apocalypse’s End.

Slumbering Era’s Songster of Night.

Titles represent a mission, responsibility, achievement, power, and experience. They are related to the Laws of Fate, so a true Title must be recognized by a corresponding Law.

Such Titles contain a unique domain of power, they do not simply come into existence by randomly calling out a name.

——-because of this, Titles themselves can also reveal the secret of certain things to a certain degree.

These two Titles are of corresponding entities from [Chaos] and [Order], which seem to have some sort of mysterious link.

Then…

Between [Order] and [Chaos], are there any links aside from them being mutual nemesis?

Gu Qing Shan slowly pondered and faintly came up with a few conjectures.

At this point, Ye Ru Xi reached her hand out to touch the green glowing barrier.

She muttered: “The Awaiting who rests in slumber, I have brought the heirs of [Chaos], they crave to obtain strength and fulfill the mission of [Chaos]”

A mysterious rune manifested above the green glowing barrier.

A second later, everyone was sucked in.
