The desert oasis palace.
There was no one around. Empress stood alone on one side of the throne.
She lightly stroked the throne, her expression was one of nostalgia and sorrow.
After a while, Empress took out her Holo-Brain, opened a certain interface and keyed in a long string of passwords.
The interface changed to a completely blank space.
This was a special safe house.
Other than herself and the Fuxi Emperor, no one else knows about this place's existence.
This was a secret that only belonged to the two of them.
Empress spoke to the Holo-Brain: "Last time, you said the palace was old and wanted to spend money to repair it, I got mad at you and didn't agree"
"But I've changed my mind, from now on, you can repair it wherever you want, I won't stop you"
"You occasionally like to leave the Empire and go sightseeing, I once scolded you for being irresponsible to the country"
"… From now on, no matter where you want to go, I'll go with you, I won't say anything bad about you"
"That woman of yours, I've never allowed her to appear in public, I'll also apologize to you"
"I'll take her to the palace tomorrow"
Empress wiped the corner of her eyes and said: "Come back, please?"
She looked at the Holo-Brain and held her breath.
The Holo-Brain was blank.
A few dozen seconds later, a line of text appeared on the Holo-Brain.
[Varona, if you appear in hell after you die, I'll make you my Empress again]
On the other side.
The Federation.
The empty field in front of the mountaintop mansion.
Gu Qing Shan put down her phone.
War.
A war between two superpowers is about to erupt.
Countless people will die in this war.
Once a large number of people die, the aura of death will only accelerate the spread of the Frozen Hell.
The dead will invade, and the entire world will become their paradise.
Even the 9 Lords won't be able to fight against hell.
Since the Emperor chose this time to declare war, it can only mean one thing.
The Emperor has completely turned his back on humanity and stood on the side of his ancestors.
— — the Emperor wants to become an undying dead and rule the world?
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit, then sighed.
He decided to ignore everything else for now and focus on repairing the Chao Yin sword first.
After all, after two more steps, the Chao Yin sword will recover.
The situation had become extremely grim. He had to awaken to the Sword Immortal realm as soon as possible.
Gu Qing Shan began to repair the Chao Yin sword again.
His movements became faster.
Time was of the essence.
After a while.
White smoke suddenly rose from the red furnace.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
When water and fire met, the furnace was immediately extinguished.
A cool stream of water rushed out of the furnace and flew into the sky.
More and more mist appeared in the air.
Then, the water vapor spread, and the whole mountain was covered in water vapor.
A small fish was swimming freely in the water.
When it discovered Gu Qing Shan, it swung its tail and swooped down, circling around Gu Qing Shan a few times.
A few breaths later, the stream of water returned to the furnace and turned into a longsword.
In an instant, all the water vapor disappeared.
The small fish landed on the sword and formed two strange characters on the hilt.
These two words were "Chao Yin", the name of the sword.
In the next moment, the Chao Yin Sword's blade began to shine brightly.
This light then condensed into four characters that were deeply embedded into the blade.
The light on the characters slowly faded away.
The sword returned to normal.
Only once in a while could you see that the sword was covered in water vapor.
The sword leapt up and landed in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Gu Qing Shan raised the sword and seriously looked at the Chao Yin Sword's blade.
The four characters had already disappeared.
But the two characters on the hilt were still there.
These two characters were "Chao Yin". The System had already explained this to her before.
Then, what were the four characters on the blade?
Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI.
Sure enough, a few lines of glowing text had appeared.
[An ancient sword, named Chao Yin]
???? [In the Age of Old, Shen Wu world was an endless ocean, when the Divinities left, they forged this sword to guard the four seas]
???? [The wielder of this sword is the King of the Seas]
???? [This sword has the Weapon Spirit Thaumaturgy: Even a sea of bitterness can pass]
Even a sea of bitterness can pass?
What kind of Thaumaturgy is this?
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked the System.
[Ting]!
[Thaumaturgy related to the Divinities cannot be revealed, please ask the weapon spirit yourself]
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Thinking about it, when I first obtained the Earth sword, it was also Hundred Flowers Fairy who explained the Earth sword's Thaumaturgy.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Chao Yin Sword and asked: "What does' even a sea of bitterness can pass' mean?"
The four hidden characters on the blade lit up.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I know it's those characters, but I don't know what they do"
The Chao Yin Sword let out an anxious' wu wu 'sound.
「 Don't ask, it's a weapon spirit that can't communicate with words 」 the Earth sword suddenly appeared in the air and said.
"Why is that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Some weapon spirits just can't speak, that's normal, you need to slowly sense and communicate with it 」 the Earth sword answered.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly remembered something.
"That's right" he asked the Earth sword, "how did you know that monster was a Hellspawn of Huang Quan?"
「 A Hellspawn is the smallest Daemon of Huang Quan 」 the Earth sword answered, 「 I can communicate with the Divinities of all worlds, so of course I know their identity and history 」
Gu Qing Shan recalled the System's description of the Earth sword.
[Earth sword, weighs 86,370,000 tons, has the Weapon Spirit Thaumaturgy: Bear Your Own Weight]
[This sword was a divine weapon used to offer sacrifices to the world in the Age of Old, capable of communicating with the Divinities]
Just as I thought.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then curiously asked: "You can communicate with the Divinities, what do you say to them?"
「 The same as a Hellspawn 」 the Earth sword answered.
Gu Qing Shan facepalmed, speechless.
So killing the other party is a form of communication.
— — -this really is how swords communicate.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "… What if you run into a powerful Daemon?"
"Run"
"…"
「 I once hid in the space vortex for 10,000 years, but I can't talk about this anymore, otherwise a Divinity might sense it 」 the Earth sword answered.
"Fine" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He looked at the War God UI.
A line of glowing text appeared, followed by a new Quest.
[Quest 1: Obtain the two swords (completed)]
[Now issuing Quest 2: Command as one's own arm]
[Quest objective: Fully fuse the two swords into your Thought Sea]
[Quest begin]
Reading that, Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
Keeping swords in the Thought Sea was a basic skill for a sword saint.
Powerful sword saints could summon their flying swords with a single thought.
So this was also a necessary Quest.
He could put the Earth sword into his Thought Sea at any time, so could the Chao Yin sword.
But now that the Chao Yin sword had been repaired, it was still in the process of familiarizing itself with itself.
It was essentially a new sword, and an incredibly powerful one at that. Gu Qing Shan couldn't just put it into his Thought Sea right away.
It would take about a day to familiarize himself with this sword again.
That's fine, it's only a day.
Gu Qing Shan temporarily put the Quest aside and returned to reality.
He called out: "Impartial Goddess"
"I'm here"
"Can you hack into Iron Shroud?"
[Iron Shroud is completely cut off from the rest of Fuxi's network, it doesn't receive any outside information, only Fuxi royal family members can log in, so I can't do anything] Impartial Goddess answered.
Gu Qing Shan then asked: "Can Iron Shroud's authority be transferred?"
[No, unless Iron Shroud's commander dies in battle, only then will the commander be transferred]
[Who is Iron Shroud's second commander?]
[Fuxi Empress]
"In other words, Iron Shroud's authority will only be unlocked if the Emperor hands over his authority, or if someone kills the Emperor?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Correct]
