Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but shake her head as she looked at the words [Vying for Supremacy] and [Samsara Battle Royale] on the wall.
Evidence.
I don't have any evidence to prove my conjecture.
[Chirp chirp chirp, eating wild apples]
Deer, eating.
What's the difference between this and eating a meal?
None at all.
Does eating have a special meaning?
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan sighed.
— — -there are too many meanings that can be interpreted, there's no need to go any further, there's only one basic meaning.
I've been separated from Shifu for too long, I don't know what she's been through recently, what she's been thinking, or what she's been doing.
Without a complete understanding of the situation, any kind of conjecture wouldn't be enough to prove anything.
My conjecture just now was purely based on instinct.
— — what if my instinct was wrong?
Instinct …
I had this instinct because of what I've been through.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought and slowly turned to look at the Delimitation sword.
Eating wild apples.
Wild.
Wild is wild, can it be extended to something that doesn't belong to me?
If I use the Delimitation sword as an analogy — — -
It originally came from the void of space, but ended up staying within the Samsara, becoming the Divine Realm of the Samsara's Delimitation Boundary, guarding the great tomb for the Samsara.
Deer, eating wild things.
Regardless of what Shifu thinks or how she interprets it, this poem is correct to use it to describe the Delimitation sword.
But I still don't have any evidence …
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "Delimitation Boundary, are you really not going to tell me any secrets?"
The sword circled around him once and replied: 「 I can tell you anything about me, but I can't tell you other secrets, otherwise, it would only harm you 」
"Very well, then I'll ask you something — — when I took the sword hilt, you seemed to be worried that I would face a calamity of life and death, why was that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
He suddenly froze.
Wait a minute.
What kind of Quest did the Samsara issue?
— — -at the time, a page fell from the sky and issued me a Quest:
"You've found a hidden legendary monster."
[You offered the Eternal Psyker Snatcher's seed of power to the Samsara, allowing it to continue evolving]
[The Samsara granted you a Quest in return:]
"Reforge the divine sword."
"When you complete the recasting of the Six Path Delimitation sword, all of your sealed power will return."
Logically speaking, the recasting of a divine sword should be an extremely difficult task.
His first reaction was the same.
But what about the Delimitation sword?
"— Actually, I never broke. People only saw my disguise."
The Delimitation sword had helped him complete the quest on the spot!
His strength was immediately unsealed!
Gu Qing Shan's mind was filled with thoughts and she asked solemnly, "Ding Jie, you said that the Six Paths Reincarnation went easy on me, is that true? Or are you just going easy on me? "
The Delimitation sword spat out two words: "It's me."
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
This was completely different!
It was the Delimitation sword's intention to let him recover his strength earlier, not the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
In other words, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had originally thought that they had given him an extremely difficult task.
However, the Delimitation sword had disrupted its plans!
Gu Qing Shan hesitantly asked: "You …"
The divine sword explained: "I've stayed in the great tomb for a very long time, always working for the Six Paths of Reincarnation, gradually earning its trust. But sometimes, I'm also confused — — -"
"During the decisive battle between the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Apocalypse, why did that monster coincidentally appear? Why did it coincidentally run into my Senluo Sword Barrier? "
Gu Qing Shan replied: "So you purposefully did this to see the result?"
The divine sword replied: "Yes"
"Why did you worry about my situation after that?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"In truth, I wasn't just worried about you, I was also worried about myself — — after all, I deceived the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so it had thought that I was indeed broken and in a weakened state" the divine sword replied.
"How did you deceive the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"In truth … from a fundamental point of view, my strength wasn't limited to this" the divine sword replied.
"What!?" Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in shock.
This sword was already powerful enough, but it said that its strength wasn't limited to just that.
The Delimitation sword continued: [The Wraith realm and the dragon race's Void Summoning only met the minimum requirement to summon me, barely able to summon me from the void of space, provided that I lost a portion of my power …]
Lines of crimson text quickly appeared from the void of space:
[You've heard the sword spirit's explanation]
"Void Sword: Delimitation description has been updated with 1."
"(Strength sealed)."
Gu Qing Shan was speechless for a long while.
He suddenly recalled what the Wraith realm's Lord said before summoning the Void Divine sword.
"With the help of the dragon race, I will take out the treasures that the Wraith realm had accumulated over countless years and use all of my power to summon"
… In other words, when they first summoned the Envoy of Order, they didn't use their full strength.
The Envoy of Order's power was equivalent to the Void Creator.
Then — — -
They used all of their power to summon, even sacrificing countless treasures for the summoning ritual, not to mention the dragon race's help — —
Under such circumstances, what kind of entity would they summon?
And yet.
This level of summoning only met the minimum requirement to summon the Divine sword.
It had no choice but to lose a portion of its power in order to descend into the Wraith realm …
Gu Qing Shan was extremely shocked and asked: "That's why you thought of a way to deceive the Samsara?"
"That's right. I've been in the Great Necropolis for countless years, suppressing the doomsday and building up my strength. Eventually, when the doomsday came, I shattered myself and fooled everyone, including the six daos of reincarnation."
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
Indeed.
In the Wraith realm, when I received the sword case from Reneedol, I saw a completely shattered sword.
Both Reneedol and the Deity of Fate tried everything they could, but couldn't repair it.
— — -it turns out that it didn't need to be repaired.
It was simply biding its time.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
For a Divine sword, the countless years it had taken was truly a bit of a long road.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly thought of something and asked: "Delimitation, if you truly participated in that decisive battle, what would have been the result?"
The Delimitation sword replied: 「 I had already sensed that there was a person in the Samsara who was proficient in swordsmanship. As soon as I appeared in the Heaven realm battlefield, that person would immediately sense my power and use it to thoroughly defeat the Apocalypse 」
"My Shifu?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Indeed 」
At this point, the Divine sword seemed a bit troubled and couldn't help but add: 「 Otherwise, I wouldn't have so easily answered the summon and appeared in the Wraith realm 」
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Shifu was indeed a swordsman in the past life.
That's right.
That's right.
In other words — — -
If nothing unexpected happened in the Wraith realm, the Samsara should have been able to win.
— — -there was also a small loophole.
Gu Qing Shan asked again: "What if you fell into my Shifu's hands, and the Eternal Thought Stealer just happened to appear in the Heaven realm battlefield?"
The Divine sword replied: 「 Your Shifu has gathered all of the Merit of the Samsara, so her strength isn't something the Wraith realm's Master could compare to. She would be able to fight against the Eternal Thought Stealer, and even if she couldn't win, she would still be able to escape 」
That's good.
Everything should be fine now.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and looked at the poem on the wall.
「 The cry of a deer, eating the wild apple; 」
「 I have a guest, playing the lute and blowing the flute 」
「 The moon is as bright as the moon, when will it be gone?
「 Sorrow comes from within, never to be extinguished 」
Let's not talk about Shifu.
I only know what happened to the Delimitation sword.
Then, let's change my train of thought.
If the Delimitation sword was the one who recited this poem, what was it trying to express?
From what happened to the Divine sword, within the Samsara Struggle for Supremacy, it was the 'wild apple' that came from outside.
The Samsara was the deer.
The deer ate the sword.
The sword became the deer's protector, watching over the great tomb.
It wasn't until the very end that the sword started to doubt its own fate that it did something the deer didn't expect.
Then — —
The second sentence: 「 I have a guest, playing the lute and blowing the flute 」
What does that mean?
The Divine sword … has never encountered such a thing before …
No, I can't continue with the second sentence.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, dispelled all her emotions, and continued reading.
「 The moon is as bright as the moon, when will it be gone?
「 Sorrow comes from within, never to be extinguished 」
How strange.
There's clearly a 'guest, playing the lute and blowing the flute', so why does it feel like everything can't be stopped, like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, and why is it worrying?
While thinking, Gu Qing Shan unconsciously wrote down her thoughts on the wall.
The Divine sword watched from the side and asked: 「 What are you writing? 」
"My conjecture" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Do you have any concrete evidence for your conjecture? 」 the Divine sword asked.
"I don't have any, but I'm guessing that something will be done very soon. After all, there's too little information, and the Samsara Clash for Supremacy is still ongoing, so I need to make preparations"
While saying so, Gu Qing Shan glanced at the Divine sword.
Regardless of its origins, it wasn't part of the Samsara.
In the end, it turned into the Samsara Delimitation sword.
When it tried to deceive the Samsara to make a new choice, it fell into a dead end together with me.
Those Envoys of the Sequence …
Demanded that I hand over this sword.
Who would be able to mobilize so many Envoys of the Sequence at once?
Who would be able to know about my background and that I didn't actually obtain the secret that the Emperor Of Heaven told me about?
The highest-ranking Envoys wouldn't.
The old pixie was in slumber among the Envoys, so they definitely wouldn't.
— — -only the Samsara remained.
If it wasn't the Samsara, could it be a coincidence?
Those Envoys of the Sequence just happened to gather together — — just to see if I was deceiving them or not?
But who would be able to give them an answer?
「 — — You're already preparing to act based on your own conjecture? 」 the Divine sword asked in confusion.
「 That's right, I was beaten up and almost died, do you think I should run away? 」 Gu Qing Shan asked in return.
「 But … how can conjecture be used to help you act? If your conjecture is wrong, everything you've prepared would go awry 」 the Divine sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan blankly thought for a bit, then muttered: "In truth, as soon as I saw the coincidence, I was already prepared to act. After all, how could there be so many coincidences in this world? Everything has a hidden connection, and a lot of major events in history were usually the result of someone's meticulous planning; furthermore, even if it's the Samsara, it still relies on the word 'fate'"
"At the most crucial moment, if a coincidence appeared, others might be able to accept it, but in front of me, it's nothing but a joke"
He waved his hand behind him.
The gate of the palace opened. Qin Xiaolou was directly caught in the air, landing in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Junior brother? No, what's the matter, Dean? "
Xiao Lou hurriedly regained his balance.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "Xiao Lou, don't be nervous, I just want to ask you something"
"What is it?"
"You said that a group of people gathered together, singing and dancing happily, suddenly one person felt sad, why is that?"
Xiao Lou was a bit surprised, then shrugged: "Is there no one to cook?"
Gu Qing Shan stopped.
"Wan Er!" he called.
Wan Er flew into the palace and landed in front of him.
"Dean?"
"Hm, you said that a group of people gathered together, singing and dancing happily, suddenly one person felt sad, why is that?"
"… Thinking of something sad?"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then called again: "Qing Rou"
"Dean"
Qing Rou had already heard the question, looked at the poem on the wall, then muttered: "I'm guessing he noticed something that no one else did"
Gu Qing Shan turned around and asked the Delimitation sword: "What did you notice?"
"I just … felt that being trapped in the Samsara for so long, I'm not willing to accept it, so I'm also suspicious of what happened to me" the Divine sword also answered.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Progenitor Fiendess and loudly called out: "Aunty, when did Shifu entrust this poem to you?"
The Progenitor Fiendess slightly curtsied and replied: 『Dean, his majesty the Emperor Of Heaven only suddenly told me at the end of a Heaven realm banquet』
So it wasn't just guests and music.
Gu Qing Shan patted Qin Xiaolou's shoulder and said: "You guessed wrong, someone was cooking"
He wrote another line next to the poem "I have guests, music is played"
"All good things must come to an end"
Li An flew in, glanced at the wall and asked: "Qing Shan, are you trying to guess the meaning behind these poems of the Emperor Of Heaven?"
"That's right, what do you think about all of this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Li An mused: "I don't think what you said is right"
"Why not?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"We Tianma are used to seeing the joys and sorrows of the world, even if a banquet ends, it will always be reopened, so why would the Emperor Of Heaven feel sad about this?" Li An replied.
The banquet will always be reopened.
Why would the Emperor Of Heaven feel sad about this?
Gu Qing Shan felt like she was struck by lightning and abruptly stood up: "You're right, no matter if it's guests or music is played, it will always be reopened!"
He paced back and forth in the hall as if he had lost his soul.
Everyone didn't understand what he meant.
But no one said anything, afraid that they would interrupt his train of thought.
Time slowly passed.
At a certain point, Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.
He took out a black-covered book and spoke: "Seabed Book, I have a question"
"I can find the source of your poem, but if you want to know what your Shifu was thinking, I can't help you" the Seabed Book replied.
"It's fine, what I want to ask might only be common sense to you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Common sense? What exactly is it? "the Seabed Book asked.
"You've seen the Samsara, haven't you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Hm, I have"
"Then tell me — — how many times has the Samsara been broken?"
