The Grand Divine Palace was completely silent.
The figure of light brought the Strength God and the other Divinities into the space vortex created by the jade disk to search for humanity's secret location among the countless phantom images.
The only people left in the palace were Gu Qing Shan, Shannu, and Luo Bingli.
If there was anything she wanted to say, this was the best chance to do so.
Luo Bingli avoided Gu Qing Shan's gaze and asked: "Even if you know my identity, what can you do about it?"
Gu Qing Shan stared straight at her without backing down: "If I don't have enough information and make a mistake in my judgment, I'll definitely cause someone's death — — - either you die, or I die"
Luo Bingli dejectedly replied: "It's useless even if I tell you, because you haven't found the way to enter the true final moment"
"Is that really important?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Luo Bingli glanced at him, her emotions fluctuating as she spoke.
"Of course, if it weren't for your arrival, I wouldn't have fallen into a situation where I'm under someone else's control!"
Gu Qing Shan stared at her without saying anything.
He paused for a few dozen seconds before he finally spoke up.
"You said — — - because of my arrival, you've fallen into a situation where you're under someone else's control"
He pondered.
After a few more moments, he continued: "I'm very sure that I've never affected you in any way"
"Under such circumstances, you're already under someone else's control …"
"The only thing that changed your existence was me, but I didn't do anything at all, nor did I have much interaction with you …"
He scowled as many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Luo Bingli scoffed and said: "Keep guessing, if you can really figure out the truth with just a few words from me, I'll tell you who I am"
Gu Qing Shan didn't seem to hear that at all.
He muttered in a low voice: "It can't be me — — I didn't control you at all, so … you must have been controlled by something else"
"That's not right, because you've never had any problems here, but now that I'm here, you're immediately controlled by others."
"There are two types of situations like this. One is that my transmigration triggered something, and the other is that my transmigration brought something with it. In these two situations, you will be restrained."
He rambled on, as if he was possessed.
"Because you've grasped the path of humanity, if something wanted to obtain the Heaven Sword through you, it could have directly captured you and used that to obtain a normal human contingency plan. It could have walked step by step to obtain the Heaven Sword, it wouldn't have needed to wait for me to come"
"Furthermore, even though that Eternal Abyss weapon only existed for a split second before it was destroyed, the weapon's power was completely released by the Immortal King, forming endless phantom images and even hiding the true final moment. If such a great power could be easily broken, it would have been broken long ago."
"So, we can temporarily rule out the first scenario."
"If it's the second scenario, what did my transmigration bring …"
Gu Qing Shan began to ponder again.
He was lost in thought as he imagined all kinds of situations. He seemed to have entered a state of selflessness.
Luo Bingli pursed her lips and said nothing.
After a long while.
While Luo Bingli appeared disappointed, Gu Qing Shan spoke up.
"Unless … something came with me from the future, that's why you were restrained"
"What could have come with me?"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze slowly became sharp.
The dark figure of light.
It was the one who activated this Space-Time infiltration technique.
And only it could hide its presence within this technique, making it impossible for me to notice it.
With that thought in mind, the scenes of the past flashed through Gu Qing Shan's mind.
…
When I transmigrated for the second time, I was eaten by a monster from the fog of Space-Time.
While I was still confused, the dark figure of light explained: 「 The monster from the fog of Space-Time could also be considered your Divinity — — - a Divinity, it ate you 」
There was another time.
When I was killed by the soul of the Yellow Dragon from Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace — —
"I died?" I asked at the time.
「 That's right, you still have 794 chances 」 the dark figure of light replied.
"That can't be right, there was clearly nothing around me just now, even that dragon was far away in the sky, how did I die?"
「 You still don't understand? 」
"I don't"
「 You were stared at by that dragon, that's why you died 」
That's right.
It was able to see everything that I went through!
It also restrained Luo Bingli!
Gu Qing Shan didn't believe that the dark figure of light could restrain Luo Bingli after several ten thousand years.
If that was the case, I wouldn't have needed to resist anymore.
In other words — — -
The dark figure of light had actually been following me.
It had also arrived in this era!
Other than that, there was no other reason that could explain why Luo Bingli was restrained!
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
「 The dark figure of light, it must have been the one who restrained you — — - it was the figure of light that represented the will of the Divine race, wasn't it? 」
He sighed and asked.
Luo Bingli looked at Gu Qing Shan in surprise.
What exactly is this person made of, to be able to arrive at the correct conclusion with just a single sentence from me!
Gu Qing Shan tried her best to maintain her calm, completely forgetting about Luo Bingli and began to think of a way out of this situation.
— — the dark figure of light can see through a person's thoughts.
In other words, it has always known everything about my plans.
Even if I die, I'll still return to it.
Everything is under its control!
Damn it!
How did this happen!!!
Gu Qing Shan tried her best to control her emotions and slowly pondered.
Is there anything that the dark figure of light doesn't know about me?
This is my only hope.
Think quickly.
What exactly does it not know?
Suddenly, a voice called out.
「 As the last person to seek the sword of humanity, I must say, you are truly powerful — — - but you're too weak 」
At some unknown point, the figure of light had once again appeared in the Grand Divine Palace.
The blinding white light around its body slowly dimmed and turned into a jet-black glow.
The dark figure of light.
So it was it.
From start to finish, everything that happened was a part of its meticulous plan!
"Gongzi!"
Shannu leapt up next to Gu Qing Shan and shouted in a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head, signaling Shannu not to act rashly.
Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally: "When you left just now, it was to give me a chance to enter the dreamscape, wasn't it?"
The dark figure of light replied: 「 What do you think?
」 "You can read people's minds, so you've always known what I was planning" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 That's right — — what's the point of emptying your mind right now? It's already too late 」 the dark figure of light casually replied.
It descended from the sky and spoke regretfully: 「 I originally wanted to wait until the very last moment before you entered humanity's territory and took the sword before I appeared, that way there wouldn't be any problems 」
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "The reason why you let me enter the dreamscape was because you could appear next to me at any time — — this is your Space-Time technique, you can follow me"
「 Furthermore, you already knew that the Heaven sword would remain in humanity's territory until the very last moment, so you set up a trap to lure me into that fake seal and have me come to this era to take the sword 」
The dark figure of light chuckled and spoke: 「 That's completely correct. You are the heir of Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, the Earth sword is also in your hands, combined with your hard work and diligence, it wasn't easy for you to reach this step 」
"You deserve to see my true face."
The light on the dark figure of light's body completely faded.
A colorful spider body.
A snow-white upper body.
A pair of jet-black arms.
Long hair, red lips, a pair of eyes filled with cruel killing intent.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver.
At this point, it no longer needed to hide its identity.
It had personally woven the thread of fate, connecting the future and the past together, and was finally about to obtain the fruit of victory.
Gu Qing Shan quickly glanced at Luo Bingli.
"Who exactly are you? It'll be too late if you don't tell me now! "he sent his voice.
Luo Bingli clenched her teeth and sent her voice: "I am the spirit of that Abyssal weapon, I was born at the same time that weapon was created"
"How did you get restrained by the dark figure of light?" Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.
"It has the components of that Abyssal weapon — — - those components can contain me, but they can also restrain me!" Luo Bingli replied.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver walked forward and used her jet-black slender fingers to lift Gu Qing Shan's chin.
「 From what I've seen so far, you've truly been outstanding. There aren't many people in the Abyss that could compare to your intelligence — — how about, you become my husband? 」
She licked her red lips.
"What's the benefit of being your husband?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver tilted her head and thought for a bit, then smiled alluringly: 「 Hm … the benefit is that I will personally consume your body inch by inch, assimilate your soul into the Abyss and make you into an eternal slave 」
She leaned close to Gu Qing Shan's ear and whispered: 「 This is the highest grade of my slaves 」
"I'm guessing that there's a precondition for you to grant me such a great honor" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Indeed, clever young one 」 the Abyssal Fate Weaver stroked Gu Qing Shan's face: 「 Take me to the Heaven sword, together with your Earth sword, we'll be able to complete that famous weapon, this is what I want you to do 」
"Very well, I want payment" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What do you want?"
「 The three coins, give me the three coins and I'll take the Heaven sword for you 」
The Abyssal Fate Weaver laughed: 「 Coins? You still want the three coins? Haven't you always been using them? 」
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
So that's … it.
What Space-Time Infiltration? That's not the case at all. It was the power of the three coins that allowed me to return to this place from the future!
As soon as the three coins were activated, I and the Abyssal Fate Weaver returned to the Age of Old.
However, the Abyssal Fate Weaver was far more powerful than any entity from the Age of Old, even the Bygone Era humanity couldn't do anything to her.
That's why I couldn't find her at all.
"I remember that three unique entities are needed to activate these coins, and humanity has only passed down three of them …" Gu Qing Shan tried asking.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver spoke with a mocking expression: 「 In the Bygone Era, you humans were able to exchange quite a few coins from the Abyss — — - what a contradictory lifeform, on one hand you feared the Abyss, but on the other you desired eternity. How could there be power in this world that didn't have to pay a price?
」 Gu Qing Shan sighed: "Humanity is a race filled with dreams"
「 It's not like that 」 the Abyssal Fate Weaver slowly moved closer and stared straight into Gu Qing Shan's eyes: 「 Humanity is a race filled with greed 」
Behind her, three unique entities silently appeared in the air.
A tree that had been cut down.
A young girl with her eyes closed.
And a man who was bound by countless chains, his body constantly giving off boiling black smoke.
「 These are the three powers — — - they came from a few of you who secretly made a deal with the Abyss 」 the Abyssal Fate Weaver explained.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head helplessly and asked in a low voice: "Why did it become like this?"
「 Because of fear. They couldn't understand the Abyss, they couldn't win against it, so they were afraid. Naturally, it was also because of their desire 」
"Desire?"
「 All living beings desire eternity, don't they? 」 the Abyssal Fate Weaver replied.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I really want to know what happened to them"
The Abyssal Fate Weaver thought for a bit, then displayed an alluring smile on her bewitching face.
She seemed to have recalled something interesting and couldn't help but cover her mouth with the back of her hand to avoid smiling too much.
「 The Abyss wouldn't care about those tiny ants that kneel before it 」
「 The Abyss abandoned them 」
