Chapter 1809: Chapter 429: Death Is Not the End
Hearing this sentence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then their expressions became strange.
Is all this blood from the Storm?
Indeed.
Though Mr. Bai Shu had reverted to a "childlike state," there were no traces of injury on him, and he still appeared to be unfathomably powerful... Throughout this Divine War, Bai Shu didn’t shed a single drop of blood?
"Mr. Bai Shu, during the time the cemetery was sealed, many things happened outside..."
Seeing that their ancestor was fine, Bai Xiaochi sighed in relief. He did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to recount all the changes in Chanyi City.
After the wanted order against Gu Shen was issued, the East Continent was in an uproar!
The Changye Five Families immediately dispatched an advance fleet led by Gu Nanfeng!
It’s just that...
Once the Eastern Continent Fleet heads to the Old World, they will not return with any information for a long time, as they await intelligence from the Old World.
So they did not know.
Gu Shen had already perished.
"...."
Bai Shu did not pursue the fleeing and disheveled Storm God’s Throne. As the saying goes, one should not chase cornered enemies. In his current "overdraft state," it was uncertain whether he could kill the Storm. If he pursued into Southern Continent territory, he might encounter a joint ambush, turning the advantageous situation into a dire one.
So he simply stood in the cemetery, with no intention of going out.
After the end of the Divine War, the first thing Bai Shu did was to reestablish the Divine Domain. The Golden Divine Domain once again shrouded the cemetery, blocking the Deep Sea’s signals.
After doing these things.
Bai Shu finally spoke.
"Regarding the matters of the Old World, I am already aware..."
Bai Shu did not directly reveal the news of Gu Shen’s death. He looked at Gu Qilin and asked, "Where is Gu Nanfeng, hasn’t he contacted you?"
"Not yet."
Mr. Gu frowned and murmured, "He should still be outside Chanyi City at the moment..."
"Rest well during this period, everyone."
After a brief silence, Bai Shu softly said, "No matter what happens, do not be too sad or too angry; remain calm and do not act alone. During this time, gather all the young disciples and elite fighters of the family as much as possible."
This sentence left the prominent figures gathered in the cemetery bewildered.
In fact, when the "wanted order" was issued, they already had a strong sense of foreboding.
It’s just that...
Before the undeniable news came, no one dared to be certain.
The intent behind Bai Shu Divine Throne’s words was already quite clear. If the Five Families began gathering their elite disciples in East Continent, there could only be one possibility.
War is approaching East Continent.
Gu Qilin’s expression was neither sad nor happy. At this moment, he looked at Bai Shu and softly asked, "So, are we going to war?"
Mr. Gu was already very old.
Having experienced several wars, his body was covered in scars. No one present had participated in more wars than he, and no one understood the meaning of war better.
Bai Shu did not answer.
He looked at the old man, everything conveyed without words.
"I understand."
Gu Qilin smiled and said, "This day was bound to come, and to see it in my lifetime is actually quite a fortunate thing. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time."
Bai Xiaochi stood upright.
He took a deep breath and said, "The Bai Family has also been waiting for this day for a long time."
The individuals who came to the cemetery were all prominent figures in Changye, and the youngest among them was the Li Family Master, Li Qingsui. Although the little girl had grown quite poised, her youthful and tender face still looked out of place among the crowd of notable figures.
At this moment, she lifted her face and cautiously asked, "Mr. Bai Shu... will there be bad news coming from the Old World? Is that news related to Gu Shen?"
"...."
Bai Shu’s expression was very complex.
The previous question was one Bai Shu need not answer.
However, he was unwilling to respond to this one.
He did not answer Li Qingsui’s question but softly spoke, "Go back and prepare for battle... This battle will be more complicated than you expect."
...
...
After everyone dispersed, the cemetery returned to silence, with the humid mist evaporated by the Battle origin.
The Golden Divine Domain seemed somewhat desolate.
Bai Shu stood atop the mountain, casting his gaze to the south, one glance spanning dozens of miles to the edge of the Divine Domain’s coverage... The Spirit of the Battle God Domain encompassed the entire Snow Forbidden City, every movement within this domain within Bai Shu’s perception.
He saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of Snow Forbidden City.
In the past, he would not have used Divine Power to do anything.
But this time, it was different.
Bai Shu extended his hand, gently grasping at that figure, and in an instant, the Reverse Flow Divine Domain enveloped that frail figure, bringing it to the mountain in Qingzhong Cemetery.
The figure had just taken a step when it suddenly appeared in the cemetery, struggling to keep balance, nearly stumbling.
"In such a hurry?"
The figure said with a smile, "If you waited a bit longer, I would have arrived."
"The events in the Old World have exceeded my threshold of patience."
Bai Shu spoke coldly, "You previously said that Gu Shen wouldn’t die, now... what’s going on?"
The scene of the sun’s radiant explosion was transformed by his Battle Divine Power, reflected in this world where only the two of them resided.
The man adjusted his glasses and sighed lightly, "After so many years of friendship, don’t you have even the basic trust?"
"I’m not interested in playing ’role-playing’ games with you. How you play is your business... but if you want me to be part of this final round, you’d better give me an answer now."
Bai Shu’s expression was emotionless, "If Gu Shen really died like that, you should know the consequences."
The man sighed once more.
"Of course, I know..."
He removed his glasses, placing them into his breast pocket, then looked up, revealing eyes as calm as a still lake.
"If Gu Shen died, you would directly storm the Source Tower’s Skytop. The Master of Battle Spark never shuns war, just like Gu Changzhi, and you are no different... even if it means you will lose."
"...."
Bai Shu frowned, not refuting anything.
"But if you truly consider me a friend of many years, then you should remember, long ago, I said one thing."
Cui Zhongcheng stuffed his hands into his pockets. In fact, thirty years ago, he had a more renowned name, Allen Turing.
Turing smiled and said, "Death is not the end; death is the true new beginning."
