— — -this wasn't some sort of backlash at all!
The martial cultivator Lin didn't die at all.
At the same time, this Void Revolution realm martial cultivator was standing right in front of the world entrance.
He was patiently explaining the greatness of the Eternal True God to Shannu.
But Xie Gu Hong and the white-haired old man didn't know that.
Xie Gu Hong and the white-haired old man had never seen the Soul Shrieker, nor did they know what the Eternal Abyss was, nor had they ever seen a cultivator endlessly resurrecting after death, so even with their cultivation, they couldn't discover such unimaginable things from a dead person.
That was why they mistakenly believed that the martial cultivator Lin was dead.
— — -he died from the backlash of the ancient mirror.
Then …
What kind of secret was hidden inside the ancient mirror that the martial cultivator Lin didn't hesitate to use his life to create a lie for Xie Gu Hong and the white-haired old man to see?
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the white-haired old man.
Nothing unusual.
He doesn't seem to know anything.
If that's the case …
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "For the sake of humanity's future, fellow Dao seeker Lin was willing to sacrifice his own life, truly a role model for all of us"
Xie Gu Hong and the white-haired old man both nodded in agreement.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What kind of secret did he discover?"
Xie Gu Hong handed the bronze mirror to Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a disappointed tone: "Fellow Dao seeker Lin used his life to erase the seal on the ancient mirror, sect master Zhao, you can take a look at the secret inside with your own eyes"
Gu Qing Shan received the bronze mirror.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[Item: Mirror of Light and Shadow Recording]
[Description: During the Bygone Era, humanity used this artifact to record certain secrets]
The two lines of glowing text disappeared.
Faint images began to appear on the mirror.
The Desolate race was only created out of convenience by the Bygone Era humanity.
Later on, the Bygone Era humans discovered that a few simple tasks could be done by the Desolate monsters, so they gradually gave them more power and abilities.
And then there was the secret of the birth of the Divinities — —
A failed experiment.
A single combat Soul Artifact that had exceeded its expiration date.
The secret of the Desolate race and the Divinities was displayed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
These secrets were completely true and were exactly the same as the information that Gu Qing Shan knew.
In fact, the scene of the two races harvesting the humans was even more detailed and vivid under the light and shadow.
Strange …
Why did he do this …
"Sect master Zhao, do you think the information recorded in this bronze mirror is real?" Xie Gu Hong asked.
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly and said, "It couldn't be any more true."
Xie Gu Hong nodded: "I've read it many times, combined with a few important historical events, I found that this answer is true"
The white-haired old man sighed and said sorrowfully, "The fate of our humankind is too humiliating."
Xie Gu Hong and Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
The white-haired old man took out a tortoiseshell and began to carefully observe the patterns on it.
He began to chant softly.
Xie Gu Hong asked: "Old Meng, what are you calculating?"
The white-haired old man stopped chanting and replied: "This is the burial ground of the Bygone Era humans, there must be something here that can help us change the current situation and change the fate of humanity"
His expression was both sorrowful and resolute: "I want to find that thing!"
Xie Gu Hong scowled: "You can't! To predict the chaotic tides earlier, you've already expended a portion of your vitality, you can't calculate the fate of humanity again! "
As a Void Wanderer realm great cultivator, it wasn't a big deal for the old man to expend a portion of his vitality to predict the chaotic tides.
But now, he wants to calculate the location of the treasure that can change the fate of humanity.
This level of calculation had already surpassed the range of normal divination techniques, as it was related to the changes of the entire world, it wasn't something that the white-haired old man could handle!
Gu Qing Shan also hurriedly stopped him: "You're crazy, if you do that, even if you find the powerful treasure, you'll still die here!"
The white-haired old man continued: "Sect master Zhao, didn't you also want to use your life to avenge the sect?"
Xie Gu Hong hurriedly said: "But sect master Zhao wouldn't make a meaningless sacrifice — — - you definitely can't perform this divination, or you'll die!"
"If I can find a way to fight against the Divine race and Desolate race, then I can die in peace. Don't stop me, this is my final choice" the white-haired old man declared.
Fwoom!
An intense gust of wind erupted from the old man's body, causing his white hair and beard to flutter in the wind.
He formed a complicated hand seal with both hands and loudly declared: "Burn all of my vitality, calculate the method to defeat the enemy!"
The tortoise shell in his hand began to crack and crumble, turning into nothingness.
From the looks of it, the divination technique had been completed.
There's no turning back!
The old man is really going to give up his life!
Xie Gu Hong and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of sorrow.
The old man hovered in the air and flew towards the next warp formation.
He loudly declared: "The Mysteries of the Underworld had descended upon me, allowing me to sense a treasure!"
"Quickly follow me — — I can't hold on for much longer!"
Xie Gu Hong and Gu Qing Shan quickly followed him.
The three of them stepped onto the warp formation and disappeared from this floor.
The 17th floor.
The 18th floor.
The 19th floor.
…
The 33rd floor!
The old man finally stopped here.
At this point, his presence was already very weak, his eye sockets were sunken in, his complexion was haggard, seemingly on the verge of death.
With Xie Gu Hong and Gu Qing Shan's help, he struggled to reach a treasure.
It was a long piece of dark violet rock that was about 5 meters long.
"This is it" the old man weakly said.
Xie Gu Hong and Gu Qing Shan both looked at the rock.
The old man grabbed the rock and tried to squeeze it.
But the old man seemed to have no strength left, unable to even break this rock.
"I'll do it" Gu Qing Shan said.
He squeezed it, then shook it.
The entire rock crumbled into dust, revealing the two jade tags inside for the three of them to see.
The old man jumped forward to grab the two jade tags, then coughed up blood.
He seemed to have reached the end of his rope.
"Thank you, Palace Master …"
The old man breathed heavily and called out.
"I'm here" Xie Gu Hong supported the old man and spoke in a low voice.
The old man took a deep breath and tried to maintain his voice: "I've divined it, this is … is the forging method for the twin swords Heaven and Earth"
"Twin swords Heaven and Earth?" Xie Gu Hong doubtfully asked.
"Yes, the twin swords Heaven and Earth, specifically used to slay Divinities and Desolate monsters"
At this point, the old man began to bleed profusely from his orifices, but he still insisted:
"These two jade tags are made of a very unique material that has never been seen before. To forge the twin swords, you need to fuse these two jade tags into the swords, remember!"
"I'll remember" Xie Gu Hong sincerely replied.
At this point, the old man suddenly became a bit more spirited, his face becoming a bit flushed.
Xie Gu Hong and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances.
They both understood that the old man had reached his final moments.
The old man took another deep breath and spoke: "Promise me … you must forge the twin swords Heaven and Earth … and change the course of humanity's …"
He didn't finish his words, but he couldn't make a single sound.
Xie Gu Hong cut in: "Don't worry, this Xie Gu Hong will definitely do it!"
The old man appeared gratified and slowly closed his mouth.
His head suddenly tilted, and his entire body sank into the arms of the two people.
He was dead.
Xie Gu Hong and Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything for a while.
They supported the old man's body on both sides, feeling a heavy sense of sorrow in their hearts.
A while later.
Xie Gu Hong stood up first.
He carefully put the two jade tags away and spoke with a lonely expression: "Sect master Zhao, have you chosen a treasure yet?"
Gu Qing Shan froze for a split second.
He immediately replied, "I've already done so."
Xie Gu Hong continued: "I haven't, so I'm going to head down to the next floor. Once I find what I want, I'll leave this place immediately"
"Leave immediately?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Xie Gu Hong resolutely replied: "Yes, I have to return — — – from this moment on, I can no longer take any more risks, I have to bring the forging method of the twin swords Heaven and Earth back to humanity"
Gu Qing Shan was still hugging the old man's body and sighed: "You can go, I'll stay with him for a bit longer, don't worry about me"
Xie Gu Hong nodded and clasped his fist: "Take care"
He flew onto the warp formation and left right away.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned for a while.
He gently placed the white-haired old man's body on the ground, still holding one of his hands.
"For the sake of humanity, what a heroic and noble act"
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He silently took out a black scepter from the void of space.
The skull with a sharp horn on top of the scepter suddenly moved.
A red glow appeared from the skull's eye sockets.
The moment that would cause all the dead to tremble in fear had arrived!
The corpse on the ground seemed to have noticed something and abruptly gave off a purple glow.
At the very next moment, it gave off an overwhelming presence, as if it had come back to life.
This was a transformation that had broken through the boundary of life and death, unimaginable, unexplainable, and even more unexplainable.
This was the power of an Eternal True God!
But Gu Qing Shan was still holding its hand.
Lightning of Life, [Dreamjolt]!
[Dreamjolt: After being touched by your lightning spirit energy, the target's consciousness will enter a temporary dreamscape with the lightning, then lose control of their body until 5 seconds later]
[Note: This is the advanced Thaumaturgy of the Uncontrollable, Stiff, and Severance Thaumaturgy, no living being would be immune to it]
The old man couldn't move at all.
The purple glow on his body instantly disappeared — — the spell was interrupted. In just a few seconds, he turned from a living person back into an undead body.
Gu Qing Shan stabbed the Devil King Warden Rod into the corpse's chest.
The corpse let out a series of desperate screams.
It was desperately struggling, trying to come back to life.
But as soon as it tried to summon the purple glow, a sword cut through its head.
The old man turned back into a corpse.
The sword didn't even bother to move, instead, it directly cut through his throat, cutting off his head again and again.
"If you try to move again, I'm going to use the scepter" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
A crimson glow appeared on the Devil King Warden Rod.
Sensing the power of the scepter dissipating eternally, the corpse froze, no longer daring to move.
"How impressive" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Faint killing intent began to exude from his body.
The white-haired old man sensed the murderous aura and begged hysterically, "Spare my life! Spare my life! I don't want to die! "
"Ah?" Gu Qing Shan's voice slowly became playful: "You are an Eternal being, but you can sense the Eternal Death from my scepter?"
"That's right, I know, this is the presence of the Samsara — — Huang Quan realm"
Saying so, the old man suddenly grabbed the Devil King Warden Rod with both hands, trying to do something.
But both of his hands instantly exploded into a bloody mist as he screamed in agony.
— — -this was the Devil King's scepter, one of the three supreme powers of the Huang Quan realm, how could a lowly undead like him ever touch it?
Gu Qing Shan held the scepter, lowered his head, and silently stared at the dead man in front of him.
"Do you want to live?" he asked.
"I do" the white-haired old man nodded.
In reality, if he didn't want to live eternally, why would he ever betray his past?
"You want to live? Very well "
Gu Qing Shan lightly turned the scepter.
The old man's chest was pierced through by the scepter, so he immediately felt intense pain.
"Aaaaaaaah! Spare me, I beg you, I'll do anything you want me to do! "the old man shouted.
Gu Qing Shan stopped what he was doing and felt a bit relieved.
"From Xie Gu Hong's point of view, that martial cultivator's death was real, and the information in the mirror was also real — — - even I couldn't find a single flaw in that information, so your death was also real"
"No wonder Xie Gu Hong was able to find the jade tags to forge the twin swords Heaven and Earth, and spent so much time and effort to forge them …"
"No wonder the Desolate race didn't try to stop humanity from forging the twin swords Heaven and Earth no matter the time"
"No matter the time?" the white-haired old man didn't quite understand.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
