Chapter 845: 845
Chapter 845: Earth Tribulation
Wind, Fire, Water, Earth .
Wind and Fire were already over, so two more Tribulations remained .
Gu Qing Shan once again arrived at the world made of water .
Unlike the previous time, during this Water Tribulation, Gu Qing Shan would have to face himself from six parallel worlds .
The first parallel world ‘Gu Qing Shan’ was already here waiting and gave Gu Qing Shan his test .
A few moments later .
The other ‘Gu Qing Shan’ was crouching on the ground, carefully studying the formation runes on the water surface in surprise: [ I can’t believe formations could actually do such a thing, where did you learn this? ]
Gu Qing Shan replied: “From a cultivation civilization that can only live in the sky, forever unable to land on the ground”
[ Their civilization must have been very impressive ]
“Indeed, and they were also very selfish . Here, put your hand on this jade tag, memorize them all before you leave”
Another ‘Gu Qing Shan’ appeared .
[ You’re the one facing the Tribulation right? So what is your [Order] called? ]he asked .
“The [Demon King Order]”
[ That sounds scary, my [Order] is called [Shelter] ]
“I know this [Order], you must live quite comfortably then”
[ I think it’s normal, probably not as tough as you’re living, but I feel kind of helpless sometimes ]
“No one can live swimmingly forever, have you gotten married yet?”
[ Not yet . I’m kind of scared to, there’s definitely going to be trouble if I do ]
“What do you mean?”
[ Hah, someone would definitely come to steal the marriage, so I’m scared of getting married ]
“What!? I would never be that pathetic, why haven’t you dealt with them yet? Can’t you even protect your woman?”
[ Hah, I’m the one who can’t protect myself, those girls are there to steal me away ]
“Ah, so that’s why”
[ My test will be to create an elementary-level Mech ]
“I can do that, but I’m probably not as good as you”
[ That’s fine, I’m not going to make you stay here, just do your best and I’ll let you pass ]
“Thank you, I’m also curious, why is your world’s technological level so impressive?”
[ Ah, that’s because I activated the Impartial Goddess . We broke through the North Pole spaceship’s firewall together and stole all the scientific research achievements ]
“Were you able to win against the Demon Lord?”
[ Demon Lord? What’s that? ]
“I see, ignore that question”
“Ah, you’re the strongest one among the versions of myself who came here to test me”
[ But still a bit lacking compared to you ]
“What is your [Order]?”
[ [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Single Player Mode] ]
“No wonder you’re so strong, alright, I have something good for you”
[ What’s this? ]
“A large-sized jade tag, all of my cultivation experience is recorded inside”
[ Thank you ]
While facing the Water Tribulation, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh emotionally .
Who could’ve thought, none of the ‘Gu Qing Shan’ from the parallel worlds was stronger than me .
As far as I’ve seen, I’m the strongest version of myself .
And the reason for all of this was the War God UI who had been with me from the beginning .
Gu Qing Shan had already realized this .
None of myself from any parallel worlds obtained the War God UI, they carry various other [Orders] instead .
Finally, the sixth ‘Gu Qing Shan’ from a parallel world left .
The Water Tribulation was over .
Gu Qing Shan’s figure moved and let himself be pushed away by an intense force out of this world .
The next Tribulation would be the final one .
The Earth Tribulation .
This was the last Tribulation one had to face to achieve Three Thousand Worlds realm and the most unique of the four Tribulations .
Even [Origin] had to display blood-red lines of text to remind Gu Qing Shan to face this Tribulation seriously:
[Your Excellency, you are about to enter the Earth Tribulation]
[Repeat, you are about to enter the most wondrous Earth World]
[This Tribulation is an exceptionally unique Tribulation, please do not let your guard down as the Order cannot offer Your Excellency any aid within this Tribulation]
Gu Qing Shan replied: “You said it as if you helped me out during any of the other Tribulations”
[Origin] paused briefly, then all the text on the UI disappeared .
It was reminding him through the voice function:
[Your Excellency, please be careful to pay close attention, within the Earth Tribulation, all of your abilities will be sealed away by the unique characteristics of the Earth World . You will not be able to use any abilities at all]
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Will my memories be sealed as well?”
[It will not, but as soon as you enter the Earth World, your cultivation will vanish without a trace, all of your supernatural items will also lose their effects, and your body will be reduced to that of a normal person] [Origin] explained .
“As long as I have my memories, my swordsmanship and battle experience would still remain, I know how to deal with such a situation” Gu Qing Shan replied .
[Origin] insisted: [Even so, please remain vigilant . If you die within the Earth Tribulation, all would be lost]
“I know”
Gu Qing Shan appeared calm, but in fact, he was also panicking a bit .
The Earth World .
No matter if you had immense spirit energy, knew countless intricate and powerful spells, or had a Thaumaturgy that allowed you to match ten thousand people, they would all be useless in the Earth World .

This was a legendary world within the cultivation world .
Because of the way it perfectly forbids all supernatural powers, cultivators must act like a normal person and struggle for their lives within the Earth World like the rest .
Gu Qing Shan held his breath and waited for a while .
The darkness around him slowly retreated to reveal countless lights ahead .
It was in the middle of the day .
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing on top of a field of fine grains of sand .
I’ve arrived at the Earth World!
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath .
There was nothing but the endless desert around him .
Although, at the far end of Gu Qing Shan’s line of sight, a long and straight highway could be seen stretching into the horizon .
At the other end of the highway, there seemed to be a few buildings .
All other information in front of Gu Qing Shan’s retina disappeared, leaving only a single line of text .
[Survive for 7 days]
After he read through it, this line of text vanished as well .
The intense sunlight shined from above, prickling his skin with the sensation of heat .
Gu Qing Shan tried releasing his inner sight, only to find that his inner sight was trapped within his own Thought Sea, unable to leak even a little bit outside .
He scanned his Thought Sea .
Everything he had was currently sealed, making it so that he couldn’t even touch them .
The good news was that the timeline around the Earth sword was fully frozen .
Perhaps to ensure that everything remained the same, the Earth World’s Law directly sealed the Earth sword in its current state .
Confirming this, Gu Qing Shan felt a lot more assured .
The bad news was that when Gu Qing Shan leapt up like he always does, he didn’t fly all the way to the sky like normal .
After jumping up about half a meter, he stumbled and fell back down .
Fortunately, the sand was soft enough that he didn’t feel any pain .
Unfortunately, the grains of hot sand went through his shoes and seeped into his foot .
The [Black Smog Armor] couldn’t even be taken out, let alone worn, and the clothes Gu Qing Shan was wearing was degraded from high-grade cultivator’s clothing to normal clothing .
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “How miraculous, just what kind of power could turn everything mundane like this?”
But he quickly didn’t care about that anymore .
Because it was too hot . Just by standing here for a few minutes, Gu Qing Shan was already sweating bullets .
For a non-powered living being, the desert was an exceedingly unfriendly natural environment .
Gu Qing Shan looked at the buildings at the end of the road .
That’s my only hope for survival .
He didn’t waste any more time and quickly walked along the road towards those buildings .
There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky .
The heat was being reflected off the road, causing the air above it to warp .

The entire world felt like a braising pot .
Gu Qing Shan had already taken off his outermost shirt to use as a simple hat to cover his head .
This was the toughest and longest trek he had made ever since he began his cultivation .
Sweat flowed down along his back .
The exposed skin around his body was already burnt red .
After about half an hour, Gu Qing Shan noticed in surprise that he was breathing a bit heavily .
This truly is an unimaginable world, not only did it turn me into a normal person, but my physique has also been normalized .
But there was nothing he could do about it now .
He needed to maintain stable breathing, tried his best not to look up and continue walking forward .
Another hour passed .
When Gu Qing Shan felt that his body was close to collapsing, he finally reached his destination .
A smaller road branched off from the highway that led straight into the relatively small desert town .
There wasn’t a single person to be seen in this town, but there was a faint sound of music resounding in the air .
This made sense since no one would bother going out under such intense heat .
Although he was close to fainting from a heatstroke, Gu Qing Shan still retained the most basic sense of caution .
He narrowed his eyes to observe the town .
There were quite a few buildings in this town that had marks suggesting there might have been a battle here .
Quite a few traps and some simple defensive fortifications were laid on the road .
Some of the buildings that were close to the highway were already completely destroyed, charred black with opened doors .
But as one looked further along the road, they would find that the majority of the buildings here were still intact .
Seems like the danger would most likely come from the highway .
Gu Qing Shan didn’t have time to wait .
His stamina was already reaching its end, no matter how careful he was, he needed to find somewhere to stay out of this intense sunlight .
He walked towards the town and stood in front of the first destroyed building .
After a bit of observation, he entered the building without hesitation .
This was the building closest to the highway, all the windows were already broken while the inside seemed to be in chaos with a few empty shelves fallen on the ground and nothing else .
At a glance, this used to be a supermarket or something similar before whatever disaster occurred here .
Gu Qing Shan looked around and relaxed a bit more .
There wasn’t a single useful thing left here .
But from a different perspective, this also meant that this supermarket had already been raided quite a few times .
So it should be quite safe overall .
As the sunlight couldn’t reach too far into the building, Gu Qing Shan finally got spared from the heat .
While he still had some strength in his body, Gu Qing Shan walked deeper into the building, pushed open a wrecked door, and headed inside .
The back area was where the supermarket’s warehouse and transport freights were stored .
Similar to the front, this place had also been raided by people, not leaving a scrap of food or drinks left .

There was an empty wine bottle covered in dust rolling on the ground, apparently having been left here for quite a few days .
Aside from that, there were only a few pieces of old newspaper used to wrap things .
Gu Qing Shan muttered with his dry lips, then came and picked the empty bottle up .
He carefully put it into his chest .
This was the first thing he found here that could be considered a weapon .
He picked up those pieces of newspaper and sat down in a relatively cool and dry place while leaning on the wall .
Although he was incredibly thirsty, Gu Qing Shan estimated that he could still endure it a bit longer .
The most important thing now for him was to regain his stamina .
I almost dropped that bottle when I picked it up earlier .
My current state isn’t suitable to deal with any situations .
Time slowly passed .
The sun had gone down a bit so the temperature outside wasn’t quite as high as it was before .
Gu Qing Shan also had about half an hour’s worth of rest .
His stamina managed to recover a bit .
But he felt his mouth become a lot dryer, there wasn’t even saliva in there right now .
This was a sign of extreme dehydration .
As a cultivator, when had he ever faced such a terrible struggle?
If any other cultivator had gone through this, they would most likely have begun to try and find a source of water .
But having lived through an Apocalypse, Gu Qing Shan knew better to retain his calm and caution .
He left the worn-out newspaper on the ground .
He couldn’t understand the language .
But the war-related pictures on the newspaper were still enough for him to make a few assumptions about this world .
Without being able to use supernatural powers, this world became technologically advanced instead .
From the pictures, he saw a few primitive flying implements and ammunition, as well as the preliminary form of Mech suits .
As for their enemies, it seemed to be some sort of humanoid creature or mutated humans who became monsters .
This way, it would certainly be hard for a normal person to deal with them .
While contemplating, Gu Qing Shan exercised his lower body a bit .
He was currently getting used to his mundane body to make sure that he would be able to perform some reflexive movements with the stamina he currently had .
A few moments later, the sound of an engine or machinery could be heard outside .
Gu Qing Shan stuck close to the wall and sneaked a few glances outside the window .
He saw a primitive transportation vehicle .
A truck .
