Gu Qing Shan sat on the Divine Throne and silently waited.
He was waiting for the figure of light to return.
The Golden me Divinity’s choice would affect his entire n from this point onwards.
If the Golden me Divinity manages to pass the figure of light’s trial, Gu Qing Shan will have no choice but to ept his participation.
Time went by.
One day after another.
Five days had already passed since the deaths of the previous Divine King and the God of Frost and Chill.
In two days, a new Divinity would be born.
Gu Qing Shan has decided to wait for onest day.
If the figure of light still doesn’t return, he was ready to give up this identity and leave with Luo Bing Li.
At a certain point, two Divine Guards came into the Grand Divine Pce and knelt on the ground:
「 Sire, the Light Divinity had arrived, he wishes to see you 」
“Is he alone?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Indeed, sire 」the Divine Guard answered.
Gu Qing Shan grinned and spoke: “Let him in”
A few momentster.
The figure of light was escorted into the Grand Divine Pce.
He bowed to Gu Qing Shan: 「 Greetings, your Divine Majesty 」
“And the results were?” Gu Qing Shan asked him directly.
The figure of light silently sighed and answered in a low voice: 「 As your Divine Majesty predicted 」
Gu Qing Shan looked at the figure of light and asked curiously: “What did you have the Golden me Divinity do?”
「 I led him into a phantom image that waspletely taken over by our Divine race and told him that Gu Qing Shan was inside that phantom image 」the figure of light replied.
“That obviously wasn’t the truth” Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Yes, I created an illusion to see that in an extreme case, would he discard the Divine race as a whole. To see would he, for the sake of killing his target, ignore the lives of his ancestors 」the figure of light exined.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “And then, to kill Gu Qing Shan, he really did sacrifice the benefits of the past Divine race”
「 Indeed 」the figure of light replied.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively and curtly asked: “You didn’t kill him?”
「 I returned here right away 」
“What for?”
「 The one who triggered the phantom images was the human cultivator Gu Qing Shan from several ten thousand yearster. We initially thought that if we helped the Golden me Divinity kill him and take humanity’s secret from him, we would be able to change everything 」
「 But now, we learnt the truth from you——- in the face of the unbeatable threat that is the Soul Shrieker, the human called Gu Qing Shan was no longer important 」
The figure of light paused briefly before speaking again, a bit hesitant: 「 All of our preparations wouldn’t be able to win against the King of the Deste race or his 7-colored spear, let alone the Eternal True God, we couldn’t think of anything at all 」
「 Faced with this truth of history, which road should the Divine race take? 」
Hearing this, Gu Qing Shan also fell into thought.
This was also the problem he needed to think about for humanity.
——the Soul Shrieker would definitely not allow anyone to ruin its n.
When the previous Divine King clumsily imitated humanity and created a Samsara world, he was immediately killed.
Who could escape from the hands of such a powerful and cautious existence? Who could go against it?
Luo Bing Li stood on one side with a cold and nk expression, but also showed a bit of hesitation on her face.
She understood how difficult this was going to be, as well as the threat that both humanity and the Divine race faced.
But what could she do?
At this very moment, the Divine race’s guide, humanity’s guide as well as the cultivator who reopened the phantom images of the Age of Old were all standing in the Grand Divine Pce.
And they had all fallen deeply into thought.
The Grand Divine Pce waspletely silent.
A few momentster.
Another Divine Guard flew in and knelt on the ground, reporting:
「 Sire, the Golden me Divinity returned, he is requesting to see you 」
Gu Qing Shan nced at the figure of light in surprise.
“Does he know that he was inside an illusion?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 He did not 」the figure of light replied.
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “I had thought that he would return to the future after killing the fake Gu Qing Shan, so why did he return here…?”
Gu Qing Shan sat still for a moment.
He suddenly smirked and ordered: “Summon the Divinities and all 16 Divine Guards to the Grand Divine Pce, make sure that no one is missing”
「 Understood 」
The Divine Guard took his order and left.
Once all the Divinities have gathered at the Grand Divine Pce, Gu Qing Shan ordered again: “Let the Golden me Divinity in”
「 Yes 」
A few momentster.
The Golden me Divinity entered the Grand Divine Pce.
He looked at all the Divinities gathered here in shock, feeling a bitplicated.
<i>Since I know all of the God of Frost and Chill’s abilities and weaknesses, if I suddenly attack, I might be able to sessfully ambush him.</i>
<i>That way, no Divinity except me would be able to take the Heaven sword.</i>
<i>Sadly, this God of Frost and Chill that knows about his own future death is too cautious.</i>
<i>Seems like I have no choice but to try and do this openly.</i>
While he was thinking, the Divine King on his throne had already spoken:
“Golden me, are you here to bid us farewell?”
The Golden me Divinity regained his calm and smiled triumphantly: 「 Your Majesty, that is indeed so, I’ve killed Gu Qing Shan 」
The audience hall was silent.
The Divinities all stared closely at him.
The figure of light said nothing.
Luo Bing Li nced up at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan asked him, seemingly intrigued: “So you found him? How did you kill him?”
The Golden me Divinity sighed: 「 I had to make some sacrifices, exchanging the flesh of some of our brethren in exchange for the Deste race’s trust, allowing us to enter the Deste world in pursuit of Gu Qing Shan. After that, it was very simple」
“Congrattions” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Golden me Divinity nodded and spoke emotionally: 「 I must leave now and return to my era. Since the past was changed because of me, a domino effect should’ve already taken ce in the future, I need to return and quickly deal with the aftermath 」
Gu Qing Shan gracefully waved his hand and spoke: “Do as you please”
The Golden me Divinity stood still.
“Is there anything else?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 There is something else, it’s about the Heaven sword 」the Golden me Divinity replied.
Gu Qing Shan slowly told him: “The Heaven sword… that artifact is actually rted to an unimaginable trap. If you want to pursue it, I won’t stop you”
The Golden me Divinity tried asking: 「 What about you? 」
“Me?” Gu Qing Shan shook his head, “For the sake of our race, there are no choice for me but to attempt to sought it out”
「 In other words, a battle would surely happen between us 」the Golden me Divinity dered.
“Don’t worry about me, if you can obtain the Heaven sword, I will even wish for you to live long and prosper” Gu Qing Shan grinned.
The Golden me Divinity couldn’t understand at all.
<i>—–regardless, this God of Frost and Chill has most likely gotten the help of the figure of light, he might very well be able to leave this phantom image and be mypetitor.</i>
<i>From how history went, the Deste race didn’t seem to know about the Heaven sword at all.</i>
<i>While humanity created the Heaven sword, their strength is nothing to fear.</i>
<i>Within the Divine race, the only one who canpete with me for it is this God of Frost and Chill.</i>
<i>In other words, as long as I defeat him, the Heaven sword is mine!</i>
The Golden me Divinity felt determined.
He gathered his strength and exuded a golden light that shined all over the pce.
「 Come, God of Frost and Chill, fight me! Let’s see who is qualified to obtain the Heaven sword! 」
The Divinities were all shaken.
It was quite rare for someone to try and challenge the Divine King for his throne, so normally no one would try and interfere.
Who could’ve thought that this Divinity from the future would try to challenge the Divine King?
How would the Divine King deal with this?
The Divinities all focused their gazes at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan nced at the figure of light.
The figure of light remained silent.
“What is your choice?” Gu Qing Shan asked onest time.
The figure of light looked back at him but said nothing.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and spoke: “Very well, then I will decide”
He leaned forward on the Divine Throne and questioned the Golden me Divinity: “So you want a fight?”
The Golden me Divinity’s fighting spirits rose all the way to its peak as he shouted: 「 That’s right, a fair battle between the two of us, let everyone here sees who is more qualified to pursue the Heaven sword! 」
Gu Qing Shan calmly asked: “Onest question, what will you do when you obtain the Heaven sword?”
The Golden me Divinity froze briefly before answering: 「 I will use it to change our Divine race’s future 」
Gu Qing Shan asked again: “So you want to take it back to your future?”
The Golden me Divinity nodded.
——wasn’t that already obvious? Is this Divine King an idiot, asking so many things like that, what is he trying to do?
On the throne, Gu Qing Shan sighed and appeared disappointed.
The Divinities were bing rowdy.
「 We can’t let him take the Heaven sword away 」
「 That is a very powerful weapon that can change everything 」
「 He already killed Gu Qing Shan yet he still covets the Heaven sword 」
「 That’s not right, what would happen to us if he took the Heaven sword away? 」
「 The Heaven sword must be ours, we must change our future of inevitable death 」
The Divinities whispered.
Then their voices became louder.
All of a sudden, a Divinity whose body was d in golden light came forward.
「 You dare to challenge our Divine King? First, you must go through me! 」
The Golden me Divinity’s expression changed as he tried to stop him: 「 Wait a minute, I just want the Divine King—— 」
He couldn’t say anything else.
The other Divinity had already charged at him.
Since the Golden me Divinity didn’t want to be wounded, he had no choice but to retaliate.
The battle began!
The Divinities stood still, silently observing the battle.
The figure of light also remained silent without trying to stop them.
Luo Bing Li sneaked a nce at Gu Qing Shan.
Only to see that Gu Qing Shan had already leaned back on his throne, shifting his body into a position that was morefortable to observe the battle and even crossed one leg over the other.
