The Primordial World.
The Sky Beyond Heaven.
The Divinities were busy.
Luo Bingli listed a total of several hundred precious materials, some of which were extremely hard to find even in the Primordial Heaven Realm.
The Divinities couldn't help but go out on a large scale to search for precious smithing materials.
Even the Golden Flame Divinity was asked by the Divine King to participate in this matter.
The Grand Divine Palace.
The Divine King was sitting on his throne.
In the middle of the empty palace was a large ice crystal.
Luo Bingli was frozen inside.
"I didn't think you would order the Divinities to collect these materials. If that's the case, the seal in my Thought Sea will soon be undone" Luo Bingli said.
"Indeed, but before that, I'll have to trouble you to stay inside the ice crystal" Gu Qing Shan said apologetically.
Luo Bingli was thinking about something else: "That God of Lies — –"
"It's true. Once he uses that ability, no one can lie in front of him"
"Then you — –"
"He wouldn't dare to use that ability against the Divine King unless he wants to die" Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
Luo Bingli sighed in relief.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Could it be, you're just a split soul like my Shifu?"
"No, I'm complete. I've been hiding in the phantom images all this time, I haven't died" Luo Bingli replied.
She explained further: "Among all the phantom images, I'm the only one who has a complete body and soul"
"Why is that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I'm the strongest cultivator in the path of Music, my soul vessel is also the strongest. In a one-on-one fight, I'm not afraid of Divinities or normal Desolate monsters — — - everyone decided to let me live to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the phantom images" Luo Bingli replied.
"Humanity's final plan was still discovered by the Divinities" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"That's right, but we really did prepare another path. To ensure that this path wouldn't be discovered, it was sealed inside my Thought Sea, even I don't know its details" Luo Bingli replied.
She looked at Gu Qing Shan and resolutely declared: "Once the seal is undone, I will immediately send my inner sight to tell you the path, then I will burn my soul and die without revealing this path to the Golden Flame Divinity"
"You're afraid of him?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"It's not that I'm afraid, but I can tell that his desire to obtain the final secret of humanity is far greater than his desire to capture and kill you" Luo Bing Li said.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then said: "Don't die"
Luo Bing Li replied: "I must die — — I will make it seem as if I've triggered the seal and died, that way, the Divinities won't suspect that you know that secret"
Gu Qing Shan resolutely said: "That won't do, I'll think of something else"
Luo Bingli shook her head: "From the very beginning, every single one of us had already prepared ourselves for death. Countless comrades have sacrificed themselves for this secret, I will also use my death to ensure that this secret is never revealed, you don't need to worry"
Seeing her determination to die, Gu Qing Shan was a bit moved.
He spoke in a low voice: "At a time like this, you can't die"
"Why?" Luo Bingli asked.
"When the first path was destroyed by the Divinities, it was already clear where humanity's problems lie" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Luo Bingli was attracted by his words and asked: "What problems do humanity have?"
"Underestimating the enemy"
Gu Qing Shan slowly spoke: "You need to understand one thing, the Divinities aren't that easy to deal with. If they were able to create even the Samsara, they must still have a lot more tricks up their sleeves"
He then appeared a bit self-deprecating: "Why do I always stay in the Grand Divine Palace, sitting on this throne without moving? It's because I know too little about the Divinities, so I can't leave the Divine Palace to do anything else, otherwise I'll easily give myself away in front of the other Divinities "
"Aside from the Divinities, the Desolate monsters are even harder to deal with. The Lord of Desolation already knew everything about the Divinities, so he didn't reveal anything until he suddenly killed the Divine King"
"The Lord of Desolation is extremely wary of humanity, I'm guessing that his understanding of humanity might even be above that of the Divinities"
Luo Bingli was stunned for a bit, then looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked: "You don't have confidence?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Of course not"
"Why not?" Luo Bingli asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Confidence is built on the foundation of knowing yourself and your enemy — — I don't even know how many unimaginable things the Divinities have done by imitating humanity, nor do I know how powerful the Desolate race is, nor do I know what kind of secrets and goals they're planning to use against humanity"
He helplessly replied: "I don't know anything, I don't know anything, and I don't have any reliable sources of information, what do you think my chances of winning are?"
Luo Bingli went silent for a bit.
She struggled to speak: "If the situation is so dire, I should use my death to exchange for humanity's secrets"
"No, I'll do it, you need to survive and help me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Help you?"
"That's right, do you really think that I alone would be able to win against two powerful and well-prepared races?"
Luo Bingli was speechless.
That's right, what the entire Age of Old humanity couldn't do, what makes you think that I can do it by myself?
Gu Qing Shan seemed to have recalled something and sighed: "My friends all have outstanding talents and incredible potential, but they still need a bit more time to grow, so I'm fighting alone right now"
"That's why I'm asking you not to die, help me"
Luo Bingli silently listened to her and hesitated for a while before speaking: "If I survive, the secret might be exposed"
Gu Qing Shan scoffed: "Using death to protect secrets, this has always been the only strategy of idiots"
Luo Bingli glared at him.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly corrected herself: "Truthfully, from my experience, only by staying alive will we have a chance to change everything"
Luo Bingli pondered: "I'm willing to help you, but if I survive, I'll expose humanity's final secret …"
"I guarantee that won't happen" Gu Qing Shan emphasized each word.
"If that's the case, I'm willing to help you — — - but if it comes to a point where I must die, please don't stop me" Luo Bingli said.
"That's a promise" Gu Qing Shan replied.
At this point, a voice came from outside the palace: "Your Divine Majesty, in accordance with your will, the materials have been gathered"
Gu Qing Shan and Luo Bingli's expressions changed at the same time.
Once the materials to create the jade disk are gathered, the seal on Luo Bingli's Thought Sea will be undone.
The final secret of humanity will be revealed to the Divinities.
Luo Bingli asked: "What's your plan? They're about to force me to reveal the method to create the jade disk "
Gu Qing Shan sat there with a worried and contemplative expression.
Seeing his expression, Luo Bingli's heart slowly sank.
She slowly asked: "Is there really no other way? Then I'll stick to my previous plan. Once all the materials appear in front of me, I'll use my inner sight to transmit the secret to you, then I'll burn my own soul and die "
"No" Gu Qing Shan regained her senses and replied: "I'm not worried about the current situation"
"Then what are you worried about?" Luo Bingli asked in surprise.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered: "Even now, the Desolate race still hasn't made a single move, that shouldn't be the case"
"You mean …"
"The Lord of Desolation is even harder to deal with than the Divinities, but he didn't come to steal this secret … this is outside of my expectations …"
Gu Qing Shan continued muttering: "I've made a lot of preparations, but the Desolate race still hasn't come. This is the situation I don't want to see the most, because it proves that the situation is still under their control"
"I'll have to find another way to solve this situation …"
Gu Qing Shan lowered her eyes, seemingly falling into some sort of deep contemplation.
Seeing Gu Qing Shan's contemplative expression, Luo Bingli was a bit stunned.
This person — — -
The current situation doesn't even enter his eyes, nor is it within the scope of his consideration.
What he's thinking is how to deal with an enemy that's even more terrifying and hidden.
What kind of person is this!?
With that in mind, Luo Bingli suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
In the countless days of darkness and despair, this was the first time she felt hope.
Perhaps …
She suddenly had a thought.
Perhaps even she didn't realize it, but from start to finish, she didn't believe that humanity's secret and plan would succeed. It was only to fight against despair that she lied to herself, telling herself that as long as she waited, there would be hope.
