His surroundings were frigid.
Gu Qing Shan felt himself floating.
— – first floating, then slowly sinking into the water.
Continuing to sink.
Until he reached the bottom of an abyss of eternal darkness.
This place was completely empty.
Only endless suffocation and despair.
"Am I going to die?"
Gu Qing Shan was silently surprised.
— — -if that's the case, then it means that the person I summoned couldn't heal my wounds.
Xiao Lou and Li Yang must've been caught up in the battle earlier.
They're also dead.
Otherwise, they would've saved me.
— – how terrible.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit sorrowful.
He waited for a few more moments.
Suffocation, coldness, despair, silence.
This feeling had always been with him without changing.
"How strange, if I'm dead, why am I still here? Shouldn't I have gone to Huang Quan? "
"If I'm not dead, then what am I doing here?"
Gu Qing Shan was silently surprised.
As soon as he thought that, he felt his eyes moving again.
He opened his eyes — —
His surroundings were filled with stagnant darkness, bone-chilling and bottomless.
Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth and called out: "Is anyone there?"
No sound.
— — no sound came from his mouth.
This place felt like a vacuum, but it wasn't a vacuum at all.
His body was floating uncontrollably.
All of a sudden.
In the depths of the extremely distant darkness, a hazy light was born.
The light was slowly flying towards Gu Qing Shan's direction.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't do anything other than hovering and waiting for the light to approach.
Finally, the light arrived in front of him.
A voice slowly resounded from within the light:
[Gu Qing Shan, I need your help]
As soon as Gu Qing Shan heard this voice, he immediately recalled.
— — -this was the voice of the Samsara Delimitation sword.
"I can't even protect myself right now, so I really don't know how to help you" Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.
The Divine Sword replied: [I need the power you carry]
"The power I carry?" Gu Qing Shan was confused.
「 Yes, you used the Earth God coin to obtain some sort of Sequence power. This power has now turned into a seed and resides within your body 」 the Divine Sword replied.
"You want the power of this Sequence?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, the power of this Sequence is very strange. It can help me recover quickly," Divine Sword said.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a moment, then said, "Fine, I have all kinds of powers, one more won't make a difference, one less won't make a difference, you can take it."
"Are you that generous?" the Divine Sword asked.
"Actually, I should thank you first — — - the two fragments you gave me were very useful, they helped me a lot" Gu Qing Shan sincerely said.
This sword knew everything.
It followed him and saw the Earth God Coin, the Key of the Wind, and the Seabed Book.
However, it had never said anything and had even given him the powers of "God Keeper" and "Repel Evil".
If it weren't for the Keeper of Gods and Repel Evil, he wouldn't have been able to avoid the Emperor Of Heaven's miraculous power, and he wouldn't have been able to accomplish many things.
I wonder what kind of power it would have in its complete form.
The misty yet blinding light flew up and completely enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
This light was so vast that it slowly became brighter, completely dispelling the darkness around him.
Gu Qing Shan immediately felt some sort of protection.
The feeling of death disappeared, replaced by a warm and vibrant energy that enveloped him, making him forget all pain.
Slowly, a faint figure appeared behind him.
It was a long dark pipe.
The pipe didn't move at all, as if it was still in a frozen state, unable to be activated.
The light became turbulent.
The dark pipe flew up and melted into the vast light, quickly turning into countless pipes that wanted to break through the void of space and extend towards an unknown location.
But the warmth within the light suddenly turned into intense heat, rushing towards the pipe with all its might.
All the pipes disappeared without a trace.
After a long while, the light slowly calmed down.
The Divine Sword spoke again:
「 Very well, so it was that Sequence … I've temporarily recovered some of my power 」
「 As thanks, I think I can answer a few questions for you, what do you want to know? 」
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Your sword hilt — — I remember it was left in the great tomb of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, how can we find it?"
The Divine Sword replied: 「 You want to help me find my sword hilt? 」
「 Indeed, all of the Samsara Divine Armaments were sealed in Huang Quan, but not you — — this is most likely because you're a broken weapon, so I want to find your sword hilt and reforge you 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Divine Sword continued: 「 But I need to tell you beforehand, as a Samsara Divine Armament, only if you give up the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword and the Deific Authority of the Six Paths Mountain God would you be able to obtain me and the Deific Authority behind me 」
Gu Qing Shan immediately replied: "Then forget it, I can't give up on her"
「 Do you know that I was able to suppress many Apocalypses, the Deific Authority I can give you is even higher than hers? 」 the Divine Sword replied.
"That's still not enough, I can't leave her" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"In that case, you should ask me other questions," the Divine Sword said.
"No, answer my previous question" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Divine Sword was a bit surprised, then said: 「 Since you've chosen the Samsara Great Mountain Sword, why do you need to search for my sword hilt? You can't obtain me 」
「 I know, but I don't want to see a Divine Sword remain in a broken state. As long as you can repair it, one of my cherished desires would be fulfilled 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 But this won't bring you any benefits 」 the Divine Sword replied.
「 There won't be any benefits — — - but in this world, we don't always do things for the sake of benefits 」 as Gu Qing Shan said that, she couldn't help but recall the people who had fought alongside her.
「 Then why? 」 the Divine Sword pursued.
Gu Qing Shan appeared nostalgic and replied: "In the past, when I obtained the Wraith realm's Saint Selection qualification, a wraith from the past era saw the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword in my hand. It said that I must be a true sword cultivator in order to be recognized by this sword"
"Then it gave me the Saint Selection qualification"
"In truth, this is how things are in this world. Sometimes, we don't have any benefits, but that doesn't stop us from carrying out our desires and persevering in certain things"
Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the glorious light within the darkness and continued: "You were able to suppress so many Apocalypses, and have always been suppressing them, this is something that I fully recognize"
The Divine Sword replied: 「 That is only my duty 」
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then continued: "In the future, if a person can obtain your recognition and fight alongside you, they would surely be an extraordinary swordsman, someone who would be willing to fight for the sake of saving living beings"
"— — I didn't reforge you just for you, but also for the sake of many more people"
He smiled and continued: "If I meet that swordsman in the future, I will naturally have him treat me to a drink as thanks for reforging you"
"I would also be very happy to have such a comrade"
Hearing that, the Divine Sword fell silent.
An image slowly manifested from the light.
It was the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
The great tomb.
Deep inside the great tomb — —
A sword was stabbed into the Tomb River, giving off invisible fluctuations that enveloped the entire great tomb.
Within these fluctuations, none of the restless Apocalypses were able to escape from the great tomb's range.
Until a certain point.
The people of the Wraith realm entered the great tomb.
Countless Apocalypses were artificially unleashed.
The sword seemed to have sensed it and broke into countless pieces.
The hilt of the sword floated along with the flow of the water, sinking down, and finally fell into a groove deep inside the Tomb River.
"Once you've defeated the Apocalypse on the other side of the human realm, the human realm will be fully established and begin to develop"
"At this point, the Beast King realm will emerge. You will need to enter the depths of the Tomb River in that great tomb and find that groove, only then will you be able to retrieve my sword hilt"
"— — -by the way, there is currently something strange residing inside my sword hilt"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Ah, that's a wraith, it calls itself a sword spirit"
"You can decide for yourself" the Divine Sword replied.
"Hm" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"If you can truly reforge me, I will tell you a few true secrets of the Samsara"
"Secrets?"
"Indeed, in truth, many of the Sequences are coveting the Samsara, coveting the ultimate weapon of the Sequence of Living Beings" the Divine Sword continued.
Gu Qing Shan sharply asked: "If the Samsara is the Sequence of Living Beings, why can they obtain the Samsara?"
The Divine Sword replied: "Because the Samsara is the most basic Sequence, any Sequence can obtain the corresponding treasures from it"
"That's why they want to steal the Samsara?" Gu Qing Shan followed up with her question.
"Indeed" the Divine Sword paused, then spoke with an inexplicable tone: "Truthfully, I've been by your side for so long, so I've gotten a bit of an impression of you — — - so I might as well tell you now.
"What do you want to say?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Keep in mind, this time, all the Sequences will most likely miscalculate" the Divine Sword replied.
"Why?"
"They got one thing wrong …"
Gu Qing Shan didn't ask anything else and simply listened.
He could already sense that the Divine Sword was about to tell him a huge secret.
This secret was so rare that even he couldn't remain calm and could only silently wait in awe.
Finally.
The Divine Sword said, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation were purposely shattered by the Apocalypse … because it truly needed an opportunity to complete this evolution."
Gu Qing Shan was slightly taken aback.
"All the Echelons are waiting for the Six Paths of Reincarnation to evolve. Some of them even planted spies in the Six Paths of Reincarnation to participate in the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
"Gu Qing Shan, even you know that the Apocalypse Sequence has sent an emissary within the Samsara"
"Yes." Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The Divine Sword continued, "However, after the Six Paths of Reincarnation complete its evolution, those Echelons will no longer covet it. Instead, they will avoid it."
"Remember, you can't tell anyone about this."
Gu Qing Shan was confused, "But … why?"
"Because of fear," said Divine Sword, who was a man of few words.
Gu Qing Shan felt as if she had been hit. She was stunned.
Many mysteries from her memories resurfaced, countless details appeared in her mind, and many questions were answered one by one.
The Divine Sword thought for a bit, then continued: "Remember, you can't tell anyone about this secret, not to any living beings, not to the infinite worlds. In short, if you tell anyone, the Samsara won't be happy"
"Living beings and the Apocalypse Child, wielder of the Heaven realm's true law, Death from the Age of Immemorial, caretaker of the Sacred Realm, inheritor of the Final Ritual, Gu Qing Shan — — -"
