Chapter 1184: Three minutes before the Apocalypse

The three of them stared at the notification in front of them.

“Look at this, this notification indicates that [Chaos] is a key, then perhaps the Deity of [Chaos] is a God of keys?” Zhang Ying Hao said.

Seeing him joking around, Ye Fei Li followed up: “If they really are a God of keys, then maybe this notification is warning us to be careful? Try not to twist too hard when inserting it into the lock otherwise, you’ll break?”

Everyone went silent briefly.

That sounds like it would hurt.

Gu Qing Shan commented: “If the secret is considered as the lock, or the door, then to us, [Chaos] is a kind of guide—- a guide for its True Deity to do something”

“Then, what exactly is that ‘something’?” Zhang Ying Hao pondered.

“I assume it’s to fight against the Apocalypse” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The other two turned to him.

“We saw it just now, [Chaos] is able to imprison the Apocalypse, so it was most likely the same as [Order]: created to fight against the Apocalypse” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“Then, why are [Order] and [Chaos] like fire and water? Wouldn’t it be better if they joined forces?” Zhang Ying Hao seemed confused.

“I have a feeling that this Apotheotic Combat will provide us with the answer” Gu Qing Shan replied.

While the three of them were talking, the two Crossing Fish boats reached the gigantic wall.

This was a wall that literally connected heaven and earth, whether it was up, down, left, or right, none of them were able to perceive the extent of its reach, a truly magnificent sight to behold.

The Crossing Fish boat slowed down while floating up and down 5 meters away from the wall.

They could now observe that on the surface of the wall, there were rivers, mountains, farmland, cities, as well as numerous living beings.

At this point, it was already nighttime so the cities and scattered houses were all being lit up with various light sources.

The world was silent.

——-this wall was actually an entire world!

The three of them stood outside of this world as if observing an endlessly expansive map.

“How wondrous”

Ye Fei Li commented.

A few lines of grey text then appeared in front of the three of them:

[You’ve discovered the legendary world: Great Gate from the Immemorial]

[Entering this world, the following points must be paid attention to:]

[One: Those who enter this world will have their strength normalized to the standard of the living beings inside, no exceptions]

[Two: Every hour, you may only select one kind of supernatural ability that you can use, the others will be in a sealed state]

[Three: In 10 minutes, the Apocalypse will descend upon the Great Gate of Immemorial, you must seize your time and quickly find a way to survive]

[Final reminder: Entering the world of the Great Gate of Immemorial will always result in being dropped from the sky, take care to protect your head]

The three of them exchanged glances after reading through the entire content.

“This world has living beings… then they must have found a way to avoid those Apocalypses” Zhang Ying Hao commented.

“However, there’s something more crucial, the people in this world are all around the same level of strength?” Ye Fei Li confusedly said.

Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder and told him: “Right, but you don’t need to worry about something like strength”

“Why not?” Ye Fei Li asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Even if everyone possess the same strength, their personality, experience, bravery, and judgment will have differences, each of the factors I just mentioned can easily determine the flow of battle”

Zhang Ying Hao patted Ye Fei Li’s other shoulder and added: “Other than supernatural powers, there are also combat skills that one needs to be learn and hone through actual combats on the verge of life and death”

Ye Fei Li looked at Zhang Ying Hao, then at Gu Qing Shan and shrugged: “With experts like you at my side, I feel very safe”

Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao exchanged glances.

“Do it quickly”

“Right”

The two of them held Ye Fei Li’s shoulder tightly and pushed him towards the wall.

“Wait——-”

Before Ye Fei Li could finish his sentence, he had already fallen into that world towards a lake.

Zhang Ying Hao and Gu Qing Shan both jumped in as well.

Splash!

Splash!

Water splattered everywhere.

The three of them resurfaced, wiped their faces, then swam towards shore.

“My spirit energy has been suppressed to Foundation realm” Gu Qing Shan stated.

He then used his spirit energy in order to dry his body.

A red glow appeared on Ye Fei Li’s body, quickly extracting all of the water into a ball, and tossed it back into the lake.

“I’m around the same level” he spat up some water and said: “Next time you push me, say it first”

“No” Zhang Ying Hao refused, “When going for a swim, there’s nothing more fun than suddenly pushing someone in”

Zhang Ying Hao’s body shivered, then instantly changed his suit into a clean one.

The two others looked at him.

How interesting that not even Gu Qing Shan could see what he did.

Noticing their gazes, Zhang Ying Hao shrugged: “Whether it’s going to a bar or going for a kill, retaining one’s image is always crucial”

He put the rifle on his back away, replacing it with two revolvers in the holsters at his hip, then said: “We don’t have much time, let’s select the supernatural ability we can use during the first hour”

The three of them glanced at the void of space in front of them.

All of their supernatural abilities have been listed on the UI, and only one of them could be chosen.

Ye Fei Li skimmed through and said: “Take a look, there’s no rule stating that we need to choose right away—– in other words, we can wait for a while before we choose”

Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “If that’s the case, Fei Li and I won’t choose one right now, we’ll pick one when the situation calls for it”

“What about me?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “There are 7 minutes left until the Apocalypse arrives, we need a guide to help us find a place we can take refuge in”

“Got it”

Zhang Ying Hao chose his supernatural ability.

He knocked his hand on the ground and called out: “Precious, where are you? Meow—–”

A large hole suddenly opened up on the ground where a cat jumped out from.

Meow meow meow?

The cat gently responded.

His eyes were now more spirited, his body had also grown considerably larger.

——after the previous evolution, his ability had become more potent.

Zhang Ying Hao hugged the small cat and lightly told it: “Aha, it’s like this, the Apocalypse is coming soon, so we need a place to take refuge”

The black cat reached his paw out and rubbed it against his mouth.

Zhang Ying Hao turned to Gu Qing Shan: “Can’t help it, we need to make some food for him first before he can guide us, this is the rule for activating this ability”

Gu Qing Shan turned to Ye Fei Li and asked: “Do you still have instant noodles?”

“Yes” Ye Fei Li replied.

Meow meow meow meow meow!

The black cat suddenly rejected.

Zhang Ying Hao wiped the sweat off his forehead and said: “He won’t eat instant noodles”

Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li exchanged glances.

“Six minutes left” Ye Fei Li stated.

Gu Qing Shan told the black cat: “Then, what do you want to eat? We need to know before we can cook it for you”

The black cat replied:

Meow, meow meow meow

Zhang Ying Hao sighed and said: “He wants a strawberry shortcake”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the black cat and said: “Look, we’re in an emergency right now, can you eat some noodles first for now?”

The black cat appeared helpless and replied:

Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow

Zhang Ying Hao said: “He said that he didn’t know about our situation beforehand and already picked the food he wanted to eat right as he appeared. According to the rules, this chosen food can’t be changed, and if he doesn’t eat this exact food, he can’t activate his ability”

The three of them and the black cat froze.

“Three minutes” Ye Fei Li reminded them.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly said: “Fei Li, make some noodles”

“Ah—- uh?” Ye Fei Li couldn’t react.

Zhang Ying Hao emphasized: “He can’t eat instant noodles”

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “I’ll give it a try”

“”You?”” the two of them asked at once.

“Hm, I’ve chosen the supernatural ability for this hour”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan copied Zhang Ying Hao and knocked on the ground.

Another hole opened up on the ground.

Another black cat jumped out.

Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li both opened their eyes wide.

“This is—–” Zhang Ying Hao muttered.

“Your ability, I’m borrowing it for now” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“But then this cat——”

“Ah, I had no other choice, so I found a substitute actor” Gu Qing Shan replied.

All three of them looked at the cat.

Exactly the same.

This black cat was pretty much exactly the same as the one in Zhang Ying Hao’s hand, down to the length of its whiskers.

However—–

This black cat seemed to be a bit sad.

It dejectedly sat there, closed its eyes, and dispiritedly lowered its head to the ground.

Gu Qing Shan crouched down, consoling it: “It’s ok… you just turned into a cat, didn’t you? I also turned into one before”

The black cat sat motionlessly.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “Here, I’ll give you a bit of supplement, consider it mental comfort”

He put his hand on the black cat’s head and transferred 100,000 Soul Points over.

At this point, the black cat finally appeared a bit less dejected, reluctantly looked up, and called out:
