Gu Qing Shan raised her hand, lightly pressing it down, and said: "Keep your voice down"
— — after all, this was the military officer's residential area, so it was best not to cause any trouble.
Shan Hai Qi Xia understood and lowered her voice, quickly asking:
"That's impossible, who exactly are you? But regardless of who you are, you couldn't kill the War Shaman "
She appeared hesitant, unable to even think of what she should do.
I've been seen through.
The other party knows what I've done.
— — if the other party was the War Shaman and I killed his wife, he would definitely skin me alive, pull out my tendons, torture me, and finally kill me.
With the War Shaman's strength, I wouldn't have any way to resist.
But if he wasn't the War Shaman, but a mortal who killed the War Shaman — — -
That's even more impossible!
Gu Qing Shan smiled, then asked in return: "Didn't you also kill the monster that wanted to replace you? Why can you do it, but I can't? "
Shan Hai Qi Xia looked at him, then decided to generously admit: "I was only able to do so because I was the combined power of every human in the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts, even using my father's death as the price to obtain a single chance to ambush the invaders"
Gu Qing Shan had already seen the entire process from her memories, so she praised: "Sure enough, you've already noticed it. Unfortunately, these monsters were too powerful, otherwise you wouldn't have to pay such a heavy price"
Several thousand years ago, a few human Combatants had noticed the monster's possession, but because they weren't a match for it, they could only silently endure while searching everywhere for a way to deal with the monster.
They failed many times.
Only this time, by using the Causality bond between father and daughter, using the lives and souls of Shan Hai Qi Xia's father as well as other Combatants of the previous generation as the price, did they manage to kill that monster.
Shan Hai Qi Xia's expression was extremely solemn as she spoke in a low voice:
"I am the only person who managed to kill the possession monster, the fate of all humanity within the Tomb of Myriad Beasts rests on my shoulders"
She looked at Gu Qing Shan, then continued: "Please tell me, who exactly are you? And how did you kill that War Shaman? "
Gu Qing Shan sat still.
In the void behind him, two long swords quietly appeared and disappeared in an instant.
The twin swords Heaven and Earth.
Seeing these two swords, Shan Hai Qi Xia was surprised.
She revealed a look of reminiscence and murmured, "This sword … looks very familiar …"
In a few breaths' time, she recalled that there was once a person who had infiltrated the sect who was holding this longsword in his hand.
Shan Hai Qi Xia calmed herself down and softly asked:
"Heaven and Earth Twin Swords … You're Gu Qing Shan?"
"It's me" Gu Qing Shan answered.
Gu Qing Shan once traveled through time to the Age of Old, fought against the three Gods, and even won against the twin swords Heaven and Earth.
If it was him, he would naturally be able to kill the War Priest.
But —
Shan Hai Qi Xia raised her voice: "What did you do to Li Qiu Shan? Did you kill him? "
Gu Qing Shan secretly nodded and said with a pleasant expression, "Li Qiu Shan has always been me."
"You transformed into Li Qiu Shan and entered our School of Mountains and Seas?"
"Yes."
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then explained how she saved young master Fei Yu from the battlefield, then unexpectedly arrived at the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
Shan Hai Qi Xia asked with a strange expression: "In other words, you originally intended to disguise yourself as a Wraith realm cultivator and infiltrate the Wraith realm?"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "That's right, who could've known something like this would happen, I'm also having a headache"
"Then, what do you plan to do now?" Shan Hai Qi Xia asked.
Gu Qing Shan slowly replied: "This great tomb is related to many things, its secrets are extremely deep, and the Wraith realm cultivators had also arrived here in order to obtain that Delimitation Artifact. Naturally, I couldn't just stand by and watch — — - furthermore, as I said earlier, I'm on your side"
Shan Hai Qi Xia stared straight into his eyes and said: "I've heard that cultivators worship the path of defiance of Heaven and Earth, stealing the creations of heaven and earth for their own use. Then, in your eyes, those monsters should only be seeking survival, you wouldn't side with us"
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but chuckle: "Perhaps you've heard a lot about cultivators, so you've misunderstood us"
"I'd like to hear the details" Shan Hai Qi Xia replied.
Gu Qing Shan relaxed and leaned back on the chair, then said: "We cultivators are also normal people, but during the process of our cultivation and breakthrough, the Heavens would always send down lightning to strike us, and if the lightning couldn't kill us, they would use other Tribulations to test us — — - we can't just let it strike us to death, so we're willing to resist, that's what you call defiance of Heaven"
"I'm guessing that anyone else would've done the same thing"
Shan Hai Qi Xia asked: "You mean, you don't pity those monsters?"
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then replied: "This is the Apocalypse Era, everyone has the right to live, but they could've done much better"
Shan Hai Qi Xia was confused, muttering: "You mean — —"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "They could've openly negotiated with you and come to an agreement"
Shan Hai Qi Xia sternly shouted: "Agreement? We would never willingly give up our bodies to — — - "
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand to cut her off, then said: "I'm not asking you to surrender, but rather that they could offer their inheritance and power to help you become stronger, while you would choose a few heinous criminals from all over the world and use them as their bodies"
Gu Qing Shan continued:
"This way, they would've escaped the seal of the Apocalypse, you would've received the inheritance, and at the same time, you would've punished those who had committed heinous crimes. In the long run, social order would've improved, the people would've been happy, humans would've been able to live in harmony with the monsters, working together to resist the Apocalypse — — - but they didn't do such a good thing, instead setting up a scheme to take advantage of your desire to become stronger and use the inheritance to steal your bodies, this is — — how should I put it?"
After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan commented: "Unreasonable and intolerable"
Shan Hai Qi Xia was completely stunned.
Since when has this world ever been reasonable?
In this era of the Apocalypse, who would be reasonable with you?
She had gone through countless trials and tribulations, seen all the dangers of this world, but never did she think that Gu Qing Shan would say such a thing.
But then again, how could the things that this sword cultivator had done be something that a normal person could achieve? Perhaps those with strength would always have a different way of thinking compared to others.
If he's willing to help …
Shan Hai Qi Xia's thoughts turned, then suddenly asked: "Sword Saint Gu, you've killed the War Shaman and still haven't left, what else do you intend to do besides dealing with the wraiths?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'll just take it one step at a time, regardless, I won't become your enemy"
Shan Hai Qi Xia immediately pursued: "So, you're standing on our side? If we fight against the monsters, if I'm defeated by them, will you act for the sake of us humans from the Tomb of Myriad Beasts? "
Before she finished, she had already knelt down again — — this time in front of Gu Qing Shan, grabbing one of his hands: "I'm the only one who managed to win against the monsters, but I can only protect myself right now, I can't protect the people of the School"
"I can only watch as Spring Blade and Wang Shun's group, as well as the entire Western Sea Grotto and Tomb of Myriad Beasts' humanity, step by step, walk into the abyss. They will only have a single fate, that is to be thrown into the Apocalypse by the monsters and have their bodies taken over. “
Shan Hai Qi Xia silently shed tears, sniffled, then continued: "I've tried my best, but I'm truly alone, I really can't do it"
"Gu Qing Shan, if you were able to kill the War Shaman, you must have some other way to fight against these monsters, I beg you to help me!"
Her beautiful face displayed a desolate expression of despair, as well as a final hint of hope.
She tightly held onto Gu Qing Shan's hand, waiting for an answer.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her, a bit absent-minded, even completely forgetting what he was about to say.
This expression, I'm too familiar with it, so familiar that it's carved into my bones.
Faintly, that hoarse voice from a few breaths' worth of time seemed to have resurfaced from deep within her memories — — -
"Who?"
"Who will take this sword?"
Before the Immortal King's death, she displayed an expression of despair, tears of blood flowed from her eyes as she raised her sword to look around.
It wasn't just the Immortal King.
The cultivators who fought on the battlefield, their former comrades …
At the very last moment of their lives, they all had the same expression.
Over the long years, not only did humanity have to face the invasion of the Apocalypse, they also had to face the schemes of various powerful monsters.
In the Age of Old, the Soul Shrieker once manipulated the Divine race and Desolate monsters to force humanity to forge the twin swords Heaven and Earth for it.
And now, the monsters within the tomb were directly taking over the bodies of humans to avoid the Apocalypse.
The survival of the Human Race was not something they needed to consider at all.
The history of humanity had always been a sad song filled with blood and tears.
— — -when would this situation be changed?
How would those people be protected?
For some reason, Gu Qing Shan recalled what Xie Gu Hong said to him when he took him as his disciple in the Age of Old, Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace:
"… A child like you is a rare sight. Today, I shall take you as my disciple, I hope that one day, you will achieve the Great Dao and resolve all injustices for our humanity"
Recalling that scene, swords silently manifested from the void of space behind Gu Qing Shan.
Chao Yin.
The Six Paths Great Mountain.
Heaven.
Earth.
Four swords silently hovered in the void of space behind him, giving off a 'wu wu' sound.
Gu Qing Shan regained her senses and looked at Shan Hai Qi Xia.
He looked straight into her eyes and muttered: "There are many injustices in this world, and we sword cultivators will resolve them with our swords"
