Inside the World Technique.
The middle-aged man was still talking to Gu Qing Shan in detail.
Seeing the other party's expression, Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.
"After so many years, the God of Life — — - I mean, that monster, should have already eaten enough souls and recovered from its wounds, so why is it still staying in Calming Soul Country and refusing to leave?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The middle-aged man replied: "After it returned, it was preparing to leave after eating enough souls, but gradually, it noticed a certain benefit — — -"
The middle-aged man coldly smirked: "Calming Soul Country is protected by the oath of the seven Deities of the Inner Plane and the four Pillar Gods of the void, so it's hidden deep within the space vortex, completely safe"
"However, if it were to return to the space vortex … it might be found by the monster's original companions and enemies"
"How would the God of Life understand the relationship between monsters? It would definitely be exposed to those terrifying monsters "
"Because of that, rather than risking its life outside, it would be better to stay in Calming Soul Country and live a life where it doesn't have to worry about anything"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "As the God of Life, it's not only worthy of its name"
"What do you mean?"
"I've never seen anyone so afraid of death"
"… You have no respect for the Deities" the middle-aged man commented.
"That's not true, I also respect a few Deities — — - of course, not a fake Deity like the God of Life"
After saying that, Gu Qing Shan asked: "About escaping from Calming Soul Country, how do you want me to cooperate?"
Speaking of business, the middle-aged man became solemn.
He observed Gu Qing Shan from top to bottom and tried to probe: "First, we need to know what your attitude is towards killing people"
Gu Qing Shan leaned back in her chair and casually replied: "I've killed more living beings than all of your kings combined"
The middle-aged man glared at her and spoke in a displeased tone: "There's no need to boast in front of us. You need to understand that we're all monarchs of our country, masters of an entire world of Demis, the number of lives we've taken isn't something mortals like you can compare to"
Gu Qing Shan smiled but didn't say anything.
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Qing Shan and gradually became hesitant.
He spoke to the void of space above his head: "The ninth king, I remember that you were able to see through a person's sins — — take a look at him"
A face appeared from the void of space and stared closely at Gu Qing Shan.
The face suddenly shrieked, "He is an existence even more evil than the gods, even the dead have been completely destroyed by him! He is a real evil spirit! "
Gasps of surprise rang out in the void. The kings seemed to be stunned by this conclusion.
The middle-aged man re-examined Gu Qing Shan and asked in a doubtful tone, "You've destroyed billions of souls? Even the God of Life couldn't do this. How did you do it? "
"They are just some scoundrels."
Gu Qing Shan said casually, "Isn't this a simple matter? If you provoke me, don't even think about dying peacefully. "
The middle-aged man fell silent.
He lowered his head and seemed to be participating in the discussion between the kings.
Gu Qing Shan didn't rush him. She just waited quietly.
A few moments later.
The middle-aged man spoke: "The situation has changed, we've made a new decision"
"Please do" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The middle-aged man continued: "We originally wanted you to take charge of a portion of the matter, mainly to support us"
"And then?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"After reconsidering, since you were able to defeat the king and are an unforgivable evil spirit, we believe that you can fully participate in this matter"
The middle-aged man cleared his throat and continued: "You should have the ability to control a person's life and cause them to completely die at a specific time"
"That, I do have the ability to do" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What do you plan to do?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Bloodletting, or the simplest, stuffing a ticking time bomb into his stomach" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The middle-aged man froze and scowled: "That simple?"
"Simple means practical" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The middle-aged man shook his head: "That won't work, you have to put a person in an extremely vulnerable state, where they would die as soon as someone touches them — — - this will cause the person's death to come from the one who touched them"
"Got it, then what exactly do we do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Very well, listen carefully, this is the best opportunity in history" the middle-aged man explained: "There is only one person left of the God of Life's direct bloodline, and it's a 3-year-old child"
"Gu Qing Shan, you need to work together with us to ensure that this child ultimately dies at the hands of the God of Life"
"This is its direct bloodline, according to the oath of the past Deities, it cannot kill the last remaining member of the royal family, otherwise, it would be considered a violation of the oath"
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then replied: "That shouldn't be necessary — — the God of Life has already fused with this world's Law of Death, so if that boy dies, Calming Soul Country would be destroyed and the God of Life would be heavily wounded"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "Things aren't as simple as you think. While heavily wounded, as soon as it notices that we've broken through this world's barrier, it would still have the strength to chase after us and kill us all"
"Can it kill you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course, we're already dead, so we're not protected by the oath, but since we don't have the mark of the God of Life, it won't be able to find us" the middle-aged man replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
That's right, the royal family doesn't have the mark of the God of Life, so the kings were able to escape being devoured by the monster at the time of their death.
The middle-aged man continued: "Remember, we need to carefully control the process of that child's death, not too early or too late, so that he dies at the hands of the God of Life. This way, the God of Life will be devoured by the backlash of the oath and die"
"Once the God of Life dies, both you and us will regain our freedom"
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then asked: "When exactly do you plan to do this? You should know that the God of Life won't show up so easily"
The middle-aged man replied: "Tomorrow, during the coronation ceremony, it will definitely hide in the shadows and observe the entire process"
Gu Qing Shan added: "The four Deities will also come"
"You don't need to pay attention to those four traitors, once the God of Life dies, they will also lose all of their powers" the middle-aged man replied.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "So that's how it is, then it's a deal"
The middle-aged man nodded satisfyingly.
After that, the two sides discussed a few more details before the technique was about to dissipate.
In the end, Gu Qing Shan hesitantly said: "That child is your descendant, I'm worried that you won't be able to do it when the time comes"
The middle-aged man replied with a serious expression: "You don't need to worry, we are kings, lords of this world, we can still face the most basic of sacrifices"
"That's good — — - right, this illusion technique is very useful to me, you can't use it" Gu Qing Shan said.
The middle-aged man scowled: "It's only a Card, why are you so concerned about it?"
"Of course" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well, we'll give you an identical Card" the middle-aged man replied.
Gu Qing Shan was finally satisfied.
He nodded to the other party, then slowly disappeared from the World Technique.
In a flash, Gu Qing Shan found himself back at the temporary camp.
Time — — -
Only an indiscernible amount of time had passed.
Jang Young-ho's group glanced at him, but didn't say anything.
Since there was no commotion around them, they instinctively assumed that the fluctuation of the technique just now came from Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at his hand.
The illusion technique Card had reappeared in his hand.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and muttered to himself: "That's fine, although he's full of nonsense, he still gave the Card back to me"
"Calming Soul Country … Hah, what an ironic name for this world"
