WAO Chapter 464: The mystery of the world
Translated by: La0o9

Gu Qing Shan took out one jade tag after another, comprehending the art of formation from them .
The jade tags were being comprehended at a rapid rate .
His understanding of formations was quickly growing .
In a very short time, he was climbing towards the peak of this world’s art of formation, its highest level of ‘science’ .
Although he killed both Wang Hong Dao and Tian Shan Ye, Gu Qing Shan’s intuition was still extremely tense, unable to be eased at all .
He was comprehending formations at break-neck speed .
“Gongzi, what are you worried about?” Qing Rou asked in a low voice .
Gu Qing Shan was clearly anxious .
“That’s right, gongzi, all of them are already dead, we’re safe now” Wan Er also said .
“I’ll explain later” Gu Qing Shan replied .
He didn’t stop his hands at all, only becoming more and more worried .
There must be something that I don’t know about .
This world has always been mysterious and strange .
Both the people and the demon .
I’ve only been here for so long, how could I claim to have control over the entire situation?
So the best solution would be to escape from here as fast as possible .
To do that, I need to improve my understanding of formation to a level as high as possible in the shortest time .
To prevent any further variables, I need to unlock Qi Yan’s Two-world warp formation and get Shen Wu world’s coordinates now!
“I understand everything, gongzi” Shannu abruptly opened her eyes and spoke .
While continuing to absorb the knowledge from the jade tags, Gu Qing Shan asked: “When Wang Hong Dao died, he said that every person in the world will have to die, is this true?”
“It’s true”
Shannu made a complicated expression and wanted to explain everything .
Gu Qing Shan stopped her .
He used his inner sight to send his voice: “Don’t speak, use your inner sight to tell us”
Although Shannu was surprised, she still did as Gu Qing Shan said and informed them through her inner sight .
1000 years ago .
Before the realm demon appeared .
The world was at the peak of its prosperity .

The cultivators here were endlessly ambitious .
They conquered and absorbed every world they could find in order to advance their own world and civilization to greater heights .
This was the Suspended world’s Golden Age .
But one day, a girl came to this world .
She came out of nowhere .
Nobody knew where she came from, or how she got here .
The girl was innocent and simple .
She found everything about the world surprising .
So she wandered across the world without any particular reason or aim .
At the start, none of the cultivators discovered or took any notice of such a normal girl .
Until one day, when the girl happened to come across a group of cultivators who were arbitrarily killing slaves they brought from a world they had conquered .
Seeing their behavior, the girl wanted to stop the cultivators and protect the slaves .
Of course, this led to a fight between her and the cultivators .
Which ended with the cultivators unable to win against her at all .
They were all restrained .
Fortunately for them, the girl didn’t enjoy needless killing, so after forbidding them from doing this again, she let them go .
And so those cultivators came back with reinforcements .
But every cultivator who came as reinforcement couldn’t win against her either .
Waves of reinforcements came one after another, until finally a Cryptic realm cultivator arrived .
The Cryptic realm cultivator lost as well .
Since this battle, this event became renowned among cultivators .
The world was greatly shaken .
Cryptic realm cultivators arrived one after another to pick a fight with the girl, but none of them managed to win .
Where did she come from?
How was she so powerful?
At this point, the Suspended world had already been unable to find any new worlds to conquer .
The Cryptic realm had become the limit for the Suspended world without any option for them to breakthrough .

And this girl who came from a foreign world managed to win against Cryptic realm cultivators .
She represented a new hope .
So they began to dig into her .
Naturally, the entire cultivation world didn’t manage to find out about her origins .
All they knew was that the girl wasn’t a being from this world, as she herself admitted to this .
Various thoughts and ideas were thrown around .
Unfortunately, since they couldn’t win against her, no one could get any useful information from her .
So the top cultivators of the world gathered to discuss a solution .
Tian Shan Ye was nominated .
Although Tian Shan Ye couldn’t win against her, he was a handsome man, and one that knew how to seduce women .
Under the cooperation and secret planning of all the cultivators from the world, Tian Shan Ye began to court the girl .
He succeeded .
Because of Tian Shan Ye, the girl decided to stay in this world .
While Tian Shan Ye carried the ambition of all cultivators from the world and acted like a true lover to her .
He wanted to find out the girl’s secrets .
Finally, at the moment least expected by the girl, he laid a trap .
44 Cryptic realm cultivators attacked her together .
Since she didn’t manage to notice it and got ambushed, she was easily defeated .
When the girl found out about Tian Shan Ye’s true intentions, being restrained by the cultivators, she fell into desperation and gave up .
She killed herself .
Before death, she said this .
“My soul will become the Order of destruction, summoning from beyond a horrible creature that you cannot possibly win against . You will all slowly die in despair until none of you are left, none of you will be spared, this will be my revenge upon you”
After that, she died .
If she only died, the cultivators wouldn’t have cared .
As long as her soul was intact, they could still capture her .
And then, nothing about her will be a secret to them .
Unfortunately, the girl’s soul also disappeared following her death .

Despite all their rituals, spells and techniques, none of the cultivators managed to find the girl’s soul .
And while they were still confused .
The realm demon arrived .
On the first day, the realm demon devoured the sun and moon .
On the second day, the realm demon began eating the stars in the sky . Within a few days, the entire world was plunged into darkness without any light from above .
The cultivators tried to stop it .
But the realm demon’s immeasurable power was despairing .
Every single cultivator who participated in that campaign was devoured by the realm demon .
It was now that they all recalled the girl’s last words .
But it was too late .
The world slowly walked towards the path of destruction, and the cultivators were helpless to stop it .
Without any solution, the top cultivators of the world once again secretly gathered to come up with an idea .
They unanimously agreed that Tian Shan Ye had to die in order to quell the girl’s raging soul .
And so they quickly sacrificed Tian Shan Ye .
It was Tian Shan Ye’s disciple, Wang Hong Dao, who was selected to ambush Tian Shan Ye .
Arranged to die by the combined might of his entire world, naturally Tian Shan Ye was killed without any resistance .
But it was all useless .
The realm demon never went away .
The world fell into total despair .
While the cultivators still had the will to struggle, unwilling to just die off, someone invented a certain technique .
The technique could help the floating islands that were formed by each sect directly fly out of the world’s orbit and escape .
The cultivation world celebrated in joy .
The largest floating islands were the first to breakthrough the sky, leaving from the world .
A few months passed .
The few great cultivators who went first as scouts never came back to report .
This caused the top-level cultivators to become suspicious .
Through careful tracing, they found that the escape technique, or rather escape formation, was invented by a small-time unknown formation user .
So the formation user was quickly found .
“Strange, this shouldn’t be the case”
The formation user said .
Then he died .
His soul was destroyed without leaving a trace .
Not even a tiniest strand of soul was found .
Exactly like how the mysterious girl died before .
So the top-level cultivators quickly concluded that this was that girl’s plan .
The escape formation must have contained some sort of great danger .
To prevent the world of cultivation from falling into a panicked state, the top cultivators hid this fact .
So more and more sects used the technique in the hope of escaping .
They broke through the sky, escaping this world to enter the void of space .
Only the top-level cultivators of the world fell into unprecedented despair .
Before, they had gathered and plotted to restrain and capture that girl .
This was their karma .
A few great cultivators went into the space vortex in hope of searching for a new world .
But they themselves knew better than anyone, every world they ever found was already absorbed into their own .
They have no coordinates and nowhere to flee to .
The cultivators who left alone also disappeared after a long time of wandering aimlessly .
They couldn’t escape the girl’s dying curse .
Truly, no person in this world managed to escape .
Every self-proclaimed great cultivator who thought themselves to be right could only wait for their own death to arrive .
1000 years quickly passed .
Resources have completely dried up and 90% of the cultivators were dead .
The only big sect that remained was Rakshasa Peak .
But including Rakshasa Peak, the entire world was helpless to do anything but wait their turn to die .
This was the whole truth .
