"You're Xu Mu?" the Demon Emperor asked.
"Yes, Xu Mu, how should I address you, sir?" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"… You can call me the Avenger" the Demon Emperor pondered for a moment before answering.
Gu Qing Shan understood and clapped her hands: "Big brother Chou, how about you give me a bit of a down payment first? Otherwise, when I help you find that person and you go back on your word, where would I go to cry to?"
"Sure — — what kind of treasure do you want?" the Demon Emperor asked.
"Treasure … heh heh, within the infinite worlds, the things that truly drive people crazy are worth more than treasures" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Demon Emperor scoffed: "Secret? Hah, you're talking about secrets right off the bat, just like you said, if I give you a secret, you'll immediately run back to the higher dimensions, how am I supposed to find you? "
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit: "How about this, I'll pick the most worthless secret, and you give me the information about it as a down payment"
"The most … worthless secret? You haven't even heard of the secret, how would you know whether or not this secret's information is worthless? "the Demon Emperor questioned.
"Because of the time — — -"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "I'll be frank with you, this is the first time I've been summoned by the Lord of Eternal Destruction, so I'm not sure what the secret he holds is — — - but when the Samsara is completely broken, I'll definitely be able to see that secret"
"So you want to know about that secret ahead of time" the Demon Emperor asked.
"Indeed, I'll find out about it sooner or later — — you also know that it's going to be worthless to me very soon — — but if you tell me about it ahead of time and satisfy my curiosity, I'll treat it as a token of your sincerity, then our matter will be considered settled, what do you think?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"If that's the case …" while the Demon Emperor was hesitating, the King of Eternal Destruction stood in the space vortex and loudly ordered:
"Rest here for 15 minutes, then we'll head to the Beast King realm. The beasts of that world have already surrendered, we can easily destroy the Beast King realm!"
The Apocalypses responded in unison.
The King of Eternal Destruction nodded and began to unleash some sort of spell to heal the wounds he received during his battle against Xie Dao Ling.
Gu Qing Shan retracted her gaze and looked at the Demon Emperor: "Brother Chou, make your decision quickly. Once the Beast King realm is destroyed, the remaining worlds won't be able to hold on for much longer, I'll soon be able to see that secret — — at that time, I won't be doing this business anymore — — because you haven't shown any sincerity"
He turned and was about to fly away.
"Wait!" The Demon Emperor said.
Gu Qing Shan paused and turned to look at it.
"Regarding that secret, it's actually very simple, there's no harm in telling you — — but after that, what are you going to do?" The Demon Emperor asked.
"Brother Chou, give me a Contract Hex that you can trust" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Alright!"
Demon Emperor took out another crystal.
— — this was a square-shaped crystal that gave off a deep blue glow, giving off a faint echo as soon as it was taken out.
As Su Cher glanced at it, her expression turned solemn.
"So it's a Soul Hex Crystal, anyone who breaks a vow will be randomly afflicted with a vicious curse that won't be dispelled for 3000 years" she said.
Gu Qing Shan naturally heard her worry.
How could I make her worry? Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned, then received the crystal and loudly declared: "I swear on this crystal: Once the owner of this crystal tells me anything regarding the Samsara secret, I will definitely bring the owner of this crystal to the person he's looking for — — without any regrets!"
He glanced at Su Cher without anyone noticing.
— — Xue Er, you don't need to worry about this, I can handle it!
Su Cher was a bit surprised, then slowly realized.
Bring the owner of this crystal to the person he's looking for …
You've … already done it.
The Demon Emperor laughed: "Ahahaha, very well! Since you've shown such sincerity, we'll discuss the rest of the payment later, what do you think? "
"No problem, brother Chou" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well, I'll tell you the information" the Demon Emperor said.
He glanced at Su Cher.
Su Cher tactfully left, but before she left, she coldly glared at Gu Qing Shan.
A scammer of this level …
If he were to use his mind to trick other girls, who in this world would be able to stop him?
No.
After everything is over, I'll need to find a chain to tie him down.
The chain can only be controlled by me, I can't give it to anyone else — — -
At most, I'll lend it to Anna once in a while.
Hm, that's a good idea.
Su Cher left with a new topic of research.
Gu Qing Shan was confused by his gaze and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. But since it wasn't a good time to ask, she could only suppress her doubts for now.
The Demon Emperor's expression became serious as he chanted an incantation.
A grey barrier enveloped him and Gu Qing Shan, isolating them from the outside world.
"The secret of the Samsara … if I must say, the most laughable thing is that self-proclaimed King of Eternal Destruction, after breaking the Samsara so many times, he still couldn't grasp it" the Demon Emperor mocked.
Gu Qing Shan was disappointed: "Please continue"
The Demon Emperor seemed to have recalled something and smiled deeply.
"In truth, the entire Samsara is actually a sealing technique. The power of this technique is beyond everyone's understanding, but no one has ever been able to undo it" he said.
"Technique?" Gu Qing Shan repeated.
"Indeed, the power of this sealing technique is beyond imagination, so much so that even if the 6 worlds sealed by it are broken countless times, they would still slowly return to their original state" the Demon Emperor said.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Then, the reason why the King of Eternal Destruction broke the Samsara was to — — -"
"In order to see that seal, because that seal will only appear when the Samsara is broken — — it will give off its power, allowing all the fragments of the Samsara world to obtain the power to regenerate. Even after thousands of years, there will still be a day when they will be whole again"
At this point, the Demon Emperor couldn't help but praise: "What a terrifying seal, I've always been an expert in breaking seals, but this was the first time I felt how insignificant I was in front of the Samsara's sealing technique"
"Then, the secret is the Samsara sealing technique?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, I've now told you everything about this secret, as for this technique, once the Samsara is broken, you can take a look for yourself" the Demon Emperor said.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
For so long, he had always felt that the secret of the Samsara was obscured by endless fog, unable to see the true outline of it at all.
But now, he suddenly remembered a lot of things.
Scenes of the past quickly flashed through his mind, almost forming a line — — -
Indeed. The words that the King of Eternal Destruction once said:
"… I am the most supreme existence in the infinite worlds, I came here only to take away the technique contained within the Samsara — — only it is worthy of my identity"
The sealing technique.
What was sealed? Was it really only the Samsara?
More scenes flashed through Gu Qing Shan's memory — — -
A gate surrounded by heavenly light stood in the void of space in front of the road, several large characters were etched on the center of the gate:
[Gate of Immortals]
A majestic man in golden armor with a halberd in his hand gazed into the distance and shouted: "With me here, evil dares not!"
An ear-piercing voice resounded from afar:
"Your era has ended, from now on, you will all be reduced to living beings, scattered into the Six Realms, experiencing countless tribulations, never to be restored!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
…
That's right.
The Samsara was indeed a sealing technique!
It sealed an unknown civilization and scattered them into the Six Realms. No matter how anyone broke the Samsara, the Samsara would always be restored!
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but shudder.
— — -sealing countless living beings, forcing them to live in the Six Realms, their souls constantly wandering between life and death, suffering in the Samsara, never to be released.
What an incredible sealing technique this was!
But!
But!
Not only that!
At least, there was a conflict between the evil Demon and the King of Eternal Destruction. This proved that there were more secrets of the Samsara that hadn't been revealed yet.
Furthermore, the Samsara could give birth to countless living beings, leading to the [Ten Thousand Lives Technique], which allowed the Demon Emperor to awaken — —
Where did the souls of these living beings come from?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled Xie Dao Ling.
What she told me on the battlefield of Asura was once again recalled by Gu Qing Shan:
"I don't know what will happen next, so I'll tell you the secret of the Samsara now …"
"… The Samsara is always being controlled, constantly being broken and fused, never having the chance to fully evolve"
"To complete the Samsara's evolution, there must be six Saints, respectively from Heaven, Asura, Human, Beast King, Wraith, and Huang Quan"
"When all six Saints appear, the Samsara technique will be complete!"
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
That's right!
The Samsara itself was a sealing technique, but inside it, the living beings of the Samsara had been nurturing another technique!
That technique might be able to unlock the deeper secrets of the Samsara?
Or perhaps, it could unlock the sealing technique?
If that's the case …
The Samsara was actually a confrontation between two techniques!
