Perhaps Gu Qing Shan had been contemplating for a bit too long.
Outside the Grand Divine Palace, the Golden Flame Divinity's voice slowly resounded:
「 The materials needed to forge the jade disk have been gathered, awaiting your orders, your majesty the Divine King 」
Gu Qing Shan regained his senses.
He looked at the frozen Luo Bingli.
Luo Bingli opened her eyes wide, met his gaze, and showed a questioning look.
"Just listen, he can't wait to find out the Heaven sword's secret" she sent her voice.
"It's fine, I'll take care of it"
Gu Qing Shan replied.
He clapped his hands.
Behind the Grand Divine Palace, 12 of the 16 Divine Guards guarding the inheritance flew into the palace and knelt down on one knee.
These Divine Guards were responsible for guarding the inheritance, so after the Divine King's ascension, they would also listen to his orders.
"Divine King, you summoned us?" the leader of the Divine Guards asked.
"Hm, I have a mission for you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Please give us your orders, your Divine King" the Divine Guards replied in unison.
"You will guard the Grand Divine Palace, without my orders, no one is to enter" Gu Qing Shan ordered.
"Understood!" the Divine Guards replied.
They quickly walked out and stood guard at the entrance of the Grand Divine Palace.
Gu Qing Shan nodded satisfyingly and loudly called out: "God of Lies, enter the palace and listen to my orders"
"Understood" a voice came from outside the palace.
The Divine Guards then opened a path for the God of Lies to enter the palace.
"Your majesty" the God of Lies bowed.
"Hm, I have a mission for you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Please tell us, your majesty"
…
Very quickly, the God of Lies left the Grand Divine Palace.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan announced: "Everyone has worked hard for the past few days, leave the materials at the entrance of the Grand Divine Palace and go back to rest"
"Understood" the Divinities replied in unison.
They all left the precious materials at the entrance of the Grand Divine Palace and left.
The Golden Flame Divinity's voice came again:
"Your Majesty, why don't you let us enter the temple and learn the method of creating the jade disc?"
Gu Qing Shan sat on the throne and said lazily, "This is a secret, it's enough for me to know, you don't need to know."
When he said that, the other gods felt that it was only natural.
This was something that concerned the fate of the human race, so it was naturally the safest for the Divine King to personally control it.
The Golden Flame Divinity was unable to remain calm.
The secret of the Heaven Sword was right in front of them. How could they just watch it fall into the hands of others?
It was true that Gu Qing Shan had been eliminated, but the Deity King before him had his own selfish desires and wanted to take the Heavenly Sword for himself.
That's the Heaven Sword we're talking about, its power is enough to slay Divinities. Wouldn't it be even better if I could hold it in my hands?
Countless thoughts flashed through the Golden Flame Divinity's mind.
He couldn't help but take a few steps towards the shrine. Immediately, twelve divine guards pointed their weapons at him and ordered him to step back.
Every single Divine Guard was extremely powerful, the Golden Flame Divinity alone was no match for them.
The Golden Flame Divinity gritted his teeth: 「 Your majesty, I advise you not to covet humanity's secrets 」
"Ah? Why is that? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Because this jade disk will take you to a place filled with danger, only I, a Divinity from the future, would know how to deal with it, no one else would be able to do so 」
Perhaps to convince the Divine King, he continued: 「 Your majesty, you must give up on this secret, otherwise, you will die without a doubt — — - this has already happened in the near future, I believe you wouldn't want to die just like that 」
Outside the shrine, all the Divinities were stunned.
This Divinity came from the future, so he knew a lot of things that were about to happen.
Gu Qing Shan adjusted her posture, comfortably leaned back on her chair, and continued to ask: "If I try to pry into this secret, what kind of danger will there be?"
The Golden Flame Divinity replied: 「 The Lord of Desolation will come to you, kill you, and take the Heaven sword 」
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything.
He only smirked.
After a brief moment of silence outside the shrine, another voice resounded.
「 Reporting to your majesty, he is lying 」
— — this was the voice of the God of Lies.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Which one of his words was a lie?"
「 Every single one 」 the God of Lies replied.
The Divinities were in an uproar.
This Divinity from the future dared to deceive the Divine King!
What exactly is he trying to do?
Could it be to take that secret for himself?
Gu Qing Shan lightly chuckled, but her tone became angry and stern: "Take him down!"
"Understood!"
The 12 Divine Guards shouted.
Luo Bingli opened her eyes wide, unable to accept what she just heard.
So … so easily, the problem was solved?
This is like a dream.
She couldn't help but send her voice: "Why don't we just kill that guy and be done with it?"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "That would be too impatient, not only would it draw suspicion, it would also cause problems"
"What problems?" Luo Bingli asked.
"Wait"
Gu Qing Shan spat out a single word.
Luo Bingli didn't have to wait for too long.
Faced with this predicament, the Golden Flame Divinity abruptly took out a coin and crushed it.
「 Hurry up and help me! 」 he shouted.
The void of space trembled.
The figure of light appeared.
It descended from above, landing in front of the Golden Flame Divinity and stopped the other Divinities: 「 You can't do anything to him 」
The Divinities all stopped.
This figure of light carried the power of countless Divinities, manifested through some sort of unique technique, the highest form of intelligence of the Divine race, impossible to impersonate, and definitely not betray the Divine race.
That was why the Divinities were hesitant.
"What is it? If I'm not mistaken, you should belong to our era, why are you protecting a person from the future?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 He didn't mean to offend your majesty, the Divine King, he only wanted to take that sword and use its power to change the future of our race 」 the figure of light replied.
「 He isn't lying 」 the God of Lies declared.
Hearing that, the Divinities' expressions relaxed a bit.
That's true.
As Divinities, unless they were facing extreme difficulties, they wouldn't easily offend the Divine King.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "His mission was very clear from the very beginning, that is to find that sword cultivator and kill him"
The figure of light explained: 「 Taking the Heaven sword away is more important than killing him 」
"You mean, if he obtained that Heaven sword or whatever, he would be able to change the future?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 That is indeed the case 」 the figure of light replied.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly said: "Then I'd like to ask him, in the future where he came from, how many of us Divinities are still alive?"
Caught off guard, the Golden Flame Divinity's mouth twitched a bit, unable to say a single word.
The Divinities became cautious.
This is related to our lives, why isn't he saying anything?
Could it be …
「 Hurry up and speak! 」 one of the Divinities couldn't help but shout.
But the Golden Flame Divinity simply pursed his lips, not daring to say a single word.
At this point, he truly regretted relying too much on his foresight ability and using the events of the future to remind the Divine King.
— — -so the Divine King was waiting for me here!
The Golden Flame Divinity felt a bit emotional.
As expected of the King who awakened because of Fate, to be able to force me to this point!
Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
The Divine King sighed: 「 God of Lies! At this very moment, I order you to investigate the truth of this king's words! 」
「 Understood 」 the God of Lies respectfully replied.
「 This Golden Flame Divinity once told me that only a few of us Divinities would be able to survive until the future, the rest would all die!
Indeed, the majority of the Divinities here would die.
This was something that had already been determined by history.
The Golden Flame Divinity once used these events of history to exchange for Gu Qing Shan's help in helping him.
— — helping him find Gu Qing Shan.
The Divinities fell silent.
No matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to accept the fact that they were about to die.
Gu Qing Shan shouted again: "God of Lies!"
The God of Lies dejectedly replied: 「 His Majesty did not lie 」
「 Alright, withdraw your investigation ability 」 Gu Qing Shan ordered.
「 Understood 」
For a while, no one said anything else.
The figure of light wanted to say something else, but he didn't dare to provoke the Divinities any further.
Gu Qing Shan's voice resounded.
He spoke in a low voice: 「 If we are all going to die, then why should I give this secret, this jade disk, and this sword to him? 」
His voice suddenly changed and sounded like he was talking in his sleep:
「 Why not let the matter of changing fate begin right now? 」
The figure of light froze.
The Golden Flame Divinity froze.
All the Divinities trembled!
Gu Qing Shan continued: 「 Indeed, if I obtain the Heaven sword, the fate of the Divine race will be rewritten right now, there is no need to wait until all the Divinities are dead 」
He abruptly stood up from his throne, raised his voice, and uttered a resounding roar:
「 Children of the Divine race, at this very moment, fate has handed its direction to me — — tell me, do you want to control your own fate with me, or place your hopes on the future? 」
「 Your Majesty, I want to follow you to change the fate of death! 」 one of the Divinities loudly declared.
「 I will follow your majesty! 」 another Divinity loudly declared.
「 Your Majesty, I will follow your footsteps! 」
「 Your Majesty, I am your loyal servant! 」
「 We will listen to your majesty!
」 The Divinities all shouted.
— — -in the face of death, the choice was always easy.
Gu Qing Shan waited until the voices of the Divinities died down a bit, then angrily shouted again: 「 Who do you think that sword should belong to? 」
The Divinities and all the Divine Guards loudly replied: 「 It belongs to our majesty! 」
Gu Qing Shan loudly declared: 「 That's why I'm sorry, regardless of whether this member of your race came from the future or some other time, our fate should be in our own hands. We must change the fate of death 」
「 This secret, as well as the sword hidden within this secret, belongs to this king, if anyone dares to covet this secret — — - 」
Clang clang!
All the Divinities automatically stood at the entrance of the Divine Palace, standing together with the 12 Divine Guards.
They drew their weapons, facing the figure of light and the Golden Flame Divinity with hostile expressions.
What bullshit future, what collective will of the Divinities, compared to that, our own lives are naturally more important.
The Heaven sword must be in our Divine King's hands!
The Divinities all had the same thought.
Sensing what was happening at the entrance, Gu Qing Shan appeared pleased and slowly sat down on the Divine Throne.
His tone remained solemn and dignified: 「 Indeed, this is the will of our entire Divine race, it will not change because of the future 」
At the same time, he stretched his back and sent his voice to Luo Bingli: 「 Done 」
Luo Bingli was completely stunned.
She froze inside the block of ice, unable to comprehend what she just saw.
How could this be …
With just a few words, the Heaven sword's secret became his own?
Furthermore, the Divine race had already split apart.
This split originated from the Divine race's present and future.
— — -because the Divinities were about to face death, the two sides were irreconcilable.
For the sake of their own survival, the Divinities wouldn't hesitate to kill the Golden Flame Divinity.
— — that is, if he still dared to covet the Heaven sword.
…
Various thoughts flashed through Luo Bingli's mind.
She couldn't understand what was going on, or what was going on right now.
But she knew one thing clearly.
