Chapter 1807: Chapter 429: Death Is Not the End
"You seem convinced that Gu Shen won’t die easily... Why?"
"Some things don’t need a reason."
Qinglong and the Empress have now met frankly.
After their recent spar, there were no more secrets between them.
Regarding this "turmoil," the goals of both parties were actually very simple. Since both were determined to achieve their own "victory," this meeting was simply to delay each other’s time.
But Qinglong has a slight difference compared to Lin Lei.
He connected with the Deep Sea’s spirit through the [Cloud Mirror].
And those broken images from the depths of the [Old World] keep being sent to the deep water area through the [Heavenly Eye], then sent to his Heart Sea.
So Qinglong could see the turmoil clearly.
Qinglong displayed a mocking smile, shook his head, and asked, "Lin Lei, I’ve watched you grow up, and I know you too well. You’ve never been a good child, and you never like to tell the truth."
"Every certainty in this world needs a reason."
"The reason you believe Gu Shen won’t die easily and are willing to waste so much time with me in the attic is simply because you know... Gu Shen has a contingency to handle the pursuit from the Light God’s Seat."
Qinglong spoke each word clearly, making Lin Lei frown.
"That contingency... is the letter left by Gu Changzhi, right?"
This sentence from Qinglong caused the Empress’s expression to stagnate.
She narrowed her eyes.
Clearly, Qinglong, who was currently confronting her in the [Furnace] Divine Domain, had another way of controlling the images from the [Old World]. The guy most likely saw the scene of Gu Changzhi’s letter showing its divine sign.
Since he saw the letter left by Gu Changzhi.
Why doesn’t Qinglong show any panic now?
Lin Lei coldly said, "What do you want to say?"
"I guess you might have seen the image of the letter burning with power, but didn’t see the final conclusion of this drama."
Qinglong generously waved his sleeve, projecting the image from the [Old World] void.
"Lin Lei, you lost the bet."
Qinglong smiled and said, "Gu Shen... is already dead!"
In the image, it was Meng Xizhou swinging his sword to cut down Gu Shen.
The light sword shattered the flesh.
Holy fire burned the void.
A head was cut off and finally picked up by Meng Xizhou...
"..."
Seeing this scene, the Empress’s face turned much paler, she opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
"It was indeed splendid."
Qinglong smiled and said, "The mere letter left by Gu Changzhi... actually has such power. Maybe you were right earlier, if he had lived a few more years, he might really have a chance to challenge my position. Pity that there’s everything in this world, except ’ifs,’ it’s all over."
With Gu Shen dead, the warrant lost its meaning; the greatest suspense, the variable, also settled.
He no longer needs to stay in this Divine Domain.
After throwing out this image, Qinglong turned and pushed the door open.
Lin Lei didn’t try to stop him, she knew she couldn’t...
If it really comes to a fight, this Sky Divine Throne is definitely not something she can force to stay with her power alone.
...
...
In the Divine Domain of Qingzhong Cemetery, the Divine War was nearing its end.
The Infinite Sea was tightly suppressed by Bai Shu.
The Double Golden Divine Domain turned the sky golden yellow, Bai Shu didn’t know how many times he had pierced the flesh of the Storm God’s Throne, the latter continuously elementalized using the power of the Authority Origin, constantly extracting nutrients from the sea to replenish his divine body...
Simply speaking in terms of combat power, the Storm God’s Throne performed terribly after leaving the Southern Continent home ground.
He was completely overwhelmed by Bai Shu.
But in terms of vitality performance, Storm filled this point to the brim; theoretically, as long as the Infinite Sea didn’t dry up, he could continuously heal injuries, constantly drawing seawater to refill his broken body.
It’s just that this fight, Storm couldn’t continue.
No matter how durable he was, being pressured and beaten wasn’t pleasant.
Once the Double Golden Divine Domain unfolded, he didn’t even have the qualification to fight back, he could only keep taking hits and healing.
At this moment.
Two spiritual messages were conveyed to the Heart Sea of both divine thrones.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Bai Shu and the Storm God’s Throne both had changing expressions.
Bai Shu received spiritual communication from Lin Lei, and the image of Gu Shen dying from the [Old World] void was transmitted to his Spirit Sea.
On the other side, Storm also received communication from the [Deep Sea]!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Storm was overjoyed, he had long thought of fleeing, upon learning of Gu Shen’s demise, now he could easily escape!
Endless seawater immediately swept up, pouring into his sleeve!
Storm decided not to continue fighting Bai Shu, this madman. The best strategy among thirty-six stratagems was escaping; as fellow divine thrones wanting to flee was something Bai Shu couldn’t stop!
"Want to leave?!"
After seeing the spiritual communication, Bai Shu’s expression became extremely gloomy.
He stretched out his big hand, directly reaching for Storm!
He could see that the Storm God’s Throne came to the Cemetery this time precisely to delay him... so he couldn’t escape, and what happened in the [Old World] couldn’t be changed, but at this moment he definitely couldn’t let Storm leave just like that!
Rumble!
The cemetery’s iron dome collapsed, a giant golden hand stretched out from the Skytop, directly grabbing towards Storm; this giant golden hand was condensed from pure battle origin.
Storm turned around, pale-faced, with no choice left at the moment; faced with Bai Shu’s overwhelming attack, if he blindly fled, he might indeed get trapped in this Divine Domain... after all, he was fighting away from home, to leave he must pay a price!
