Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

TN: Progenitor Fiendess – this can be translated literally as Original Mother of the Fiends.

———————
『 I don’t care for a long story  』

The black-robed woman raised her hand and signalled Gu Qing Shan not to speak.

『 I only want to know one thing. A Tianma would never give their personal belonging to someone of another race, so why did she give it to you?  』

She stared straight at Gu Qing Shan and spoke.

“We’re business partners, we cooperated in the past” Gu Qing Shan explained.

『 Then that definitely wouldn’t have happened, that’s why I’ve been waiting for the bell to ring all this time, I’ve wanted to see just who could obtain this bracelet from her  』

Noticing the black-robed woman’s true attitude, Gu Qing Shan finally reacted in time.

He quickly explained: “Ma’am—– aunty, you misunderstood. Actually, I’m calling her this time to pay back my debt”

『 Pay back your debt? Alright then, what are you going to pay her?  』the black-robed woman asked.

“I was going to give her this world” Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 This world… huh…  』the woman silently smirked and shook her head: 『 So you’re a simple fraud  』
『 To be able to use my daughter for your own gains, you must be quite the sly human, seen only once per several ten thousand years, however…  』
Her tone became cold: 『 Playing around with the Tianma this way, do you think it’ll end well for you?  』

Faint black shadows flew out from her body, quickly enveloping the entire plaza.

Her presence gradually rose greater and greater until her expression turned into that of extreme ferocity and anger.

Gu Qing Shan stayed calm and only replied: “I really only meant to pay her back, if you’ll give me a chance, I’ll immediately settle my debt right now”

『 Hah? Do you really think I don’t know that kind of world this is?  』

Apparently hearing the funniest joke in the world, the black-robed woman’s terrifying presence was retracted.

She raised her voice: 『 Very well, then I’ll have them all come here to see what exactly a cultivator’s trick is like  』
『 That way, none of them will ever make the same mistake again!  』

Saying so, the black-robed woman flicked her hand into the air.

The long black sleeve turned into a 2-man tall black tunnel opening.

A faint light of the sunset came from the tunnel.

Countless screams, cries of pain and sorrow, moans and curses all came from the tunnel.

The woman simply pointed at it from afar, extinguishing the various chaotic sounds, leaving only a faint harmonic choir.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows knitted.

To be able to connect two worlds so easily, what power.

The woman shouted to the tunnel: 『 Daughters, come here all of you, we have quite a show to watch  』

The choir on the other side stopped.

Figures came flying out from the tunnel one by one, showing off their luscious bodies and unrivalled beauty.

They were all wearing thin dancer garbs that showed off their charm while maintaining a sense of aloof indifference, completely unlike that of normal Tianma who enjoyed tempting cultivators with lust.

Their gestures were soft, gentle, animated, even the smallest actions contained indescribable charm.

Gu Qing Shan immediately noticed the black-clothed girl among them.

The black-clothed girl only gave him a single glance before turning away.

『 Be careful, Mother believes that you’re trying to court me, taking advantage of or trying to deceive me  』

She silently sent her voice.

“We have proof, couldn’t you have just given her the Virtualized realm cultivator’s soul to clear up everything?” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice to ask her.

『 The Virtualized realm cultivator’s soul… according to our laws, this type of precious cultivator’s soul must be enjoyed by Mother first before I’m allowed to—- but I couldn’t help myself and already devoured it all while hiding it from them  』the black-clothed girl silently explained with a hint of awkwardness in her voice.

Gu Qing Shan sighed, speechless.

—–so I’m a scapegoat huh? This would cause anyone to despair.

“What do I do now?” he asked.

『 I don’t know either, but you have to be careful, or you will die right here  』

“Can’t you at least give me a suggestion?”

『 Mother is the Progenitor Fiendess of our Tianma world, the strongest Tianma born at the dawn of time  』

“And?”

『 You will probably have to show sincerity about the same standard when you persuaded me, otherwise both our ends won’t be pretty  』the black-clothed girl answered.

“…” Gu Qing Shan.

He had no words.

The Tianma sisters now all stood in front of their mother—– the Progenitor.

『 Mother, you said you have quite a show for us to see?  』one of them asked.

『 Indeed, today I found a human who tried to deceive a Tianma. This is ridiculous beyond all words, but one of you has in fact fallen for it  』the Progenitor spoke.

All the Tianma sisters were surprised.

『 How could a human’s word be trusted?  』
『 How interesting, it had always been us who tempted humans, but now there’s a human that tried to deceive us Tianma instead?  』
『 Humans are the most likely species in the infinite worlds to go back on their words, who would be lured by such a creature’s words?  』
『 Great Mother, which one of my naïve little sisters was that dumb?  』

They all spoke one after another.

The black-clothed girl lowered her head.

The Progenitor spoke: 『 Li Yang, raise your head  』

The black-clothed girl – Li Yang could only raise her head and answered: 『 Great Mother  』

『 Hm, tell me, how did he persuade you?  』

『 He said he would give me a world as the payment  』

The Tianma sisters all broke into laughter.

『 So it turns out that it was our model big sister who trusted a human!  』
『 How did I not notice, big sister is not only fluent in the arts of domination but in the art of talking to food as well?  』
『 Ahahaha, how unimaginable, that big sister of ours would be tempted? Lusting after a mortal?  』

The black-clothed girl held a calm expression without saying anything.

The Progenitor sighed deeply, apparently very disappointed.

She spoke: 『 Li Yang, you are supposed to be a Tianma Empress, ruler of a realm, yet you were deceived by a human, spending so much effort to help them for free. It seems you are no longer qualified to be Empress  』

The black-clothed girl’s expression turned pale.

And her little sisters’ eyes all brightened.

If she stepped down, someone would naturally step up, this was obvious. The only thing was that they didn’t know who Mother would arrange for that seat.

“Excuse me—– I’ll have to interrupt you for a bit” Gu Qing Shan suddenly spoke up.

The Tianma went silent.

They all turned to look at him, all with different thoughts on their minds.

The Progenitor spoke: 『 Arbitrarily interrupting someone else is very rude, do you not understand such a simple principle?  』

“Because the one who summoned you here is me, I’m asking you to let me finish what I need to do first. After that, I won’t say a word no matter what you do” Gu Qing Shan continued.

The Progenitor asked: 『 Then what do you want to do?  』

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I truly have a debt that I need to settle clearly with Empress Li Yang, after I finish, you can say what you want”

The Progenitor thought about it briefly and coldly chuckled: 『 Fine then, go ahead, it’ll be useful for the girls to see what kind of thing they need to look out for  』
