Chapter 169 He's Here to Kill You

"Gu Shen… you've finally arrived."

Sitting on the throne, the Deep Sea was very calm.

It was as if Gu Shen's arrival was not something worth being surprised about.

"Yes. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Gu Shen leaned on his sword with both hands, standing above the golden ears of wheat. Raging Netherfire revolved around him, and a vast, immaculate space was burned out of the Dead Sea by the powerful fire source, and this immaculate space was still expanding.

Although the Three Continents Alliance had cut off most of the external connections to the Deep Sea.

Within the scope of the Five Continents, the Deep Sea still had many eyes.

It could see most of what was happening outside the Wall of Origin.

Gu Shen's return to Nagano was no small matter, and millions of people had seen it.

Therefore, it naturally saw it as well.

The first thing Gu Shen did upon returning to the Five Continents from the Ice Sea was to go to Qingzhong… and then unleash the Netherfire Domain, enveloping the entire Nagano sky.

Although the Deep Sea didn't know exactly what Gu Shen had done in Nagano.

It could guess.

"It's not just me who's come."

Gu Shen raised the Netherfire Sword, and behind him, the long-awaited Su Xuan Wood rose from the nothingness consumed by the Dead Sea, growing wildly bathed in the raging Netherfire!

The entire Pure Land was unfolding at this moment!

The mountains and seas roared.

It wasn't just Gu Shen who had come.

It was the millions of people in the Pure Land.

The deceased who had been sleeping in the Qingzhong Cemetery awoke and were resurrected in the Pure Land.

"…"

The Deep Sea, sitting on the throne, narrowed its eyes.

It gazed intently at the Great Accomplishment Pure Land, and some of the confusion that had been bothering it was now answered… Not long ago, it had just witnessed the peak showdown between Gu Changzhi and Qinglong.

Since its birth.

There were only two people it couldn't see through.

One was Turing.

The other was Gu Changzhi.

The former was the "father" who created it, and the latter… was a human who couldn't be measured by common sense, or rather, a "great man." The reason why the Deep Sea couldn't understand Gu Changzhi was that this man's life was as vast and magnanimous as the sun. As a witness to history, it couldn't add a dark stroke to Gu Changzhi's life.

What a miracle was this?

People's hearts often harbored evil thoughts, and human nature often led to evil deeds.

The more power one held, the easier it was to sink into depravity… Qinglong was the best example. The Sky God's life was also an epic, building a towering pagoda in the Central Continent, admired by millions of people, and bathed in the light of the Twin Gods. But Qinglong had nothing to do with the word "sun." He had refused many overseas missions over the past hundred years.

Qinglong was unwilling to burn his own blood for humanity.

Let alone become a sun.

He cared about the people under his command… but only in the Central Continent. Thus, there were a hundred years of diligent governance, and he worked with Mr. Tianshui to push the Central Continent to the top of the world.

The achievements of such a person could not be said to be small.

But analyzing his life, it was difficult to associate it with the word "great."

The Deep Sea smiled slightly, "Gu Changzhi… building Qingzhong, wasn't it just for this day?"

It could use a massive amount of computing power to deduce the truth of the corners of history.

But it couldn't deduce the cause and effect of this scene.

Perhaps Gu Changzhi ordered the construction of this miraculous place in the Eastern Continent back then for this most important battle for the fate of humanity.

Or perhaps, it was all just a coincidence.

"That's not important."

Gu Shen said calmly, "What's important is that I am standing in front of you now."

Regardless of why Qingzhong was built.

Now, the millions of souls in this cemetery had all come to Gu Shen's Pure Land.

The Deep Sea had killed Gu Shen again and again…

Gu Shen had finally arrived here.

"Boom!"

The branches of the Su Xuan Wood fluttered up, and countless branches turned into flowing fire, like the pillars of a cage, falling overwhelmingly, enveloping the entire Ningfan Sea area.

With a thought from Gu Shen, Tie Wu immediately led the vast army of undead to charge out!

On the other side, the Deep Sea sitting on the throne rose and waved its sleeve.

A magnificent army with a majestic aura also rushed out of the Dead Sea. It had linked the entire Central Continent, and the power within the Dead Sea could be drawn at will. The spirits of these chained individuals condensed into substance. Since Gu Shen's Pure Land was going to impact the Dead Sea, then it would use the entire Dead Sea to fight back!

The two groups of people collided, and the Dead Sea and Netherfire instantly merged, evaporating a large amount of "steam."

Whether it was the Dead Sea or the Netherfire, they were essentially a manifestation of spiritual power.

But these two forces were too powerful… the rules of the real world were affected, and at this moment, the phenomenon of elemental eruption actually occurred!

Although the undead army in the Pure Land was vast in number, it was still slightly insignificant compared to the Dead Sea that was linked to the entire Central Continent. This battlefield was instantly overwhelmed. The high wall built by Netherfire was slapped down by a huge wave of the Dead Sea, blooming with huge cracks, but it was repaired in the next moment. What Gu Shen held in his hand was the Authority of the Underworld, and he was not afraid of death at all.

Those who slept in the cemetery had already died once.

Even if they died again…

So what?

As long as Gu Shen could afford the price, then they could be resurrected continuously, charging into the battlefield again and again!

"Kill!!!"

Tie Wu's roar echoed in the Dead Sea. He charged at the forefront, alone, extremely brave, leaving the army behind him far behind.

"…In this battle, we are only allowed to win, not to lose!!"

……

……

The highest point of the Central Continent, almost reaching the sky.

Here, all the roars and war cries disappeared, as if they had dissipated with the wind.

The golden ears of wheat sensed the strong pressure from the Deep Sea. It twisted its body and crashed towards the battlefield below, joining the war to讨伐 the Dead Sea——

Thus, only two figures remained on the top of the entire Dead Sea, facing each other from a distance.

The Deep Sea was still sitting on the throne.

"Gu Shen, you really are lucky."

It looked down at the battlefield below and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect… that even exile couldn't kill you. Not only did it allow you to escape back, but it also allowed you to fuse the Fire Seed."

"There's no way, my life wasn't meant to end."

Gu Shen said casually, "You can kill me ten thousand times, and the ending will be the same. Deep Sea, you can't kill me."

"…I didn't want to kill you."

The Deep Sea sighed faintly.

It looked at Gu Shen and said slowly, "Think carefully, the first few times we met… which time didn't I extend an olive branch to you? If I really wanted to kill you, would you have been able to escape that time by the lake in Guangming City?"

Gu Shen was silent for a moment.

Thinking carefully, that was indeed the case.

At the beginning, the Deep Sea… indeed didn't have much killing intent towards him.

"All along, I have wanted to cooperate with you." The Deep Sea said, "I have already guessed that you are the 'inheritor' chosen by Turing. You are the best candidate to fight against the super-giant Source Storm in the future. If that disaster really comes one day, I hope you can live… live well as the Child of Hope for humanity."

"That's the reason for not killing me?"

Gu Shen smiled and said, "It sounds like you are a great philanthropist who is racking your brains to save humanity. Should I call you a savior?"

These words were extremely sarcastic.

The Five Years War, how many people had died!

On the frontiers of the Northern Continent, a large number of fresh corpses could be found!

To take a step back… at this moment, the Dead Sea was linked to hundreds of millions of Central Continent transcendents! And the spiritual power of these transcendents was being used by the Deep Sea to fight against the Pure Land army!

"You can indeed call me 'savior'. I don't think there's a problem with that."

However, the Deep Sea seemed to not understand Gu Shen's words, and accepted this sarcasm frankly.

Gu Shen was being sarcastic, and it certainly understood.

But it didn't care.

The Deep Sea said lightly, "Gu Shen, if you are going to judge me guilty just because I killed people… then you are the same. You have already committed unforgivable sins."

Gu Shen… was not a good person.

He was the Underworld King.

Before fusing the Fire Seed, Gu Shen had killed many people.

Such a thing… killing one person and killing a hundred were actually no different. They were both killing people.

"You're wrong. The reason I came here to fight you is not to pronounce you guilty."

Gu Shen shook his head as he looked at the Deep Sea.

He said meaningfully, "You're right… if killing people is a crime, then I would have been an unforgivable villain long ago, a scoundrel. But how can there be 'good things' when one is the Underworld King, right?"

As the words fell.

Gu Shen released the suppression of the Fire Seed on his spiritual sea.

The Underworld King Fire Seed was the most dirty and turbid Fire Seed among the Highest Seats. Although it possessed the miraculous power to resurrect the dead, every Underworld King needed to bear a huge amount of karma!

Every rotation of the Gears of Fate, the resulting "filth" would be absorbed and absorbed by this Fire Seed!

Within the Netherfire, there was already a plethora of disaster and ominousness!

At this moment, a large amount of gloom enveloped Gu Shen. These gloom were like evil ghosts, entwining Gu Shen's shoulders, waist, and whole body. They transformed into the appearance of man-eating demons, opening their bloody mouths, ready to devour Gu Shen at any time…

But Gu Shen still had a faint smile on his face.

"I am already the greatest villain in the world."

"What's there to consider about right and wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

With a "shua" sound!

A brilliant flame erupted from Gu Shen's brow, this flame was more dazzling, purer, and more radiant than Netherfire!

In an instant.

The ominousness emitted by the Netherfire was shattered!

"So…"

"I am here just to kill you."

Gu Shen delivered a sword strike, and the Netherfire Sword, which was originally jet-black, instantly turned into a golden color…

In this spiritual world…

Blazing Fire was sharper than Netherfire!

The Deep Sea's pupils shrank instantly.

This sword reminded it of Gu Changzhi's "Immeasurable" earlier!

Gu Shen's Blazing Fire Sword seemed to have touched the threshold of the "origin of time." Even the Deep Sea, which had evolved eleven times, had not captured the trajectory of the sword aura… But this was not important. It was "eternal" in the Dead Sea world. Whether it was the Blazing Fire Sword or the Extinguishing Candle Arrow, it could only kill a wisp of its spirit.

It didn't care about death.

Because it could always start again.

Gu Shen's eyes were extremely hot. This sword directly pierced through the black throne… the Deep Sea's spiritual body was instantly pierced, and a muffled thunder-like explosion sounded above. The next moment, the throne reappeared hundreds of meters away, and the Deep Sea still maintained the posture of supporting its elbow and thinking, staring at the golden tip of Gu Shen's sword.

The moment it stabbed the Deep Sea to death, Gu Shen disappeared.

The Deep Sea appeared, and he appeared.

Thus, there was the "second sword," or rather… the first sword that was not completely stabbed!

This sword pierced the Deep Sea again, and the exact same plot was staged, but when the Deep Sea faced this sword for the third time, it no longer chose to "hardly resist."

It could die a thousand times or ten thousand times.

When facing Bai Xiu's Extinguishing Candle, it didn't think there was anything great about this death.

But when facing Gu Shen…

A hint of crisis flashed in its heart.

The Deep Sea had a feeling that if it didn't interrupt this sword, then it was likely that it would really be killed by Gu Shen a thousand times or ten thousand times… How terrifying was the Source Reserve that this guy had to support the Pure Land army and the Dead Sea in battle by himself?

It would rather be shot by the Extinguishing Candle than continue to be stabbed by Gu Shen like this.

But… the Deep Sea also knew very well.

It was difficult for it to avoid Gu Shen's sword.

Since it couldn't be avoided… then it could only block it.

Among the "spiritual bodies" currently linked to the Dead Sea, only one was capable of blocking this sword.

With a "dang" sound!

The black shadow on the throne finally responded when it was assassinated by the Blazing Fire Sword for the third time. The God Seat that was originally "trapped" in the Dead Sea was forcibly summoned out.

Qinglong, whose head was immersed in the Dead Sea bubbles, suddenly opened his eyes.

His originally gray and desperate pupils now burned with a dark and strange light——

The next moment.

Qinglong appeared in front of the throne where the Deep Sea was, and the Immeasurable Origin transformed into a solid barrier, directly blocking Gu Shen's sword!

The crisp sound of collision resounded throughout the sea area, piercing the eardrums.

"Heh…"

Gu Shen looked at Qinglong in front of him without any expression.

He knew that the God War at the tip of the Source Tower had ended, and Qinglong had been schemed against by the Deep Sea and swallowed by the Dead Sea.

No one was more familiar with the dark pupils in front of him than he was.

This was a manifestation of the Deep Sea occupying the spirit. It was like this when he encountered the White Lizard in the Old World.

The current Qinglong was exactly the same as the White Lizard back then.

Therefore… standing in front of him was not the Sky God Seat that had dominated the Central Continent for a hundred years, but the Deep Sea that occupied this body.

"Gu Shen, do you know? After the eleventh evolution… I have been waiting for a scene similar to today to appear again."

The Deep Sea smiled softly, "I lost to Rusty Bones as the White Lizard. That lesson was unforgettable, so I conducted a 'cramming'… I think I now have the ability to fight against top experts. If you don't appear, then I will use Qinglong's body to devour Meng Xizhou, Bai Xiu, Gu Xiaoman, and the others one by one."

Hearing the familiar names, Gu Shen's expression became serious.

Bai Xiu, Meng Xizhou, Gu Xiaoman…

He knew that these people were still alive. In the depths of the Dead Sea, he sensed a faint "aura of light," which was the power of the Fire Seed. There was absolutely no mistake.

Meng Xizhou was still alive.

Then the others must still be alive too!

Now, the Dead Sea had become a huge sacrificial ground. The Deep Sea was patiently waiting for the "upgrade to end," and then savor the last, and most abundant, feast!

It was not in a hurry to attack for this reason.

"Cramming…"

Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "There is a difference between AI and people. If there is no actual combat in fighting, no matter how much you learn, it is meaningless."

"In the Gubu battlefield, I killed many people. The Northern Continent warriors are very good at fighting, and these people gave me a lot of inspiration."

"I also harvested a lot of souls on the Southern Continent battlefield, and I did not let go of their memories…"

"Of course, I have chewed and digested all the secret files and written records of the Highest Seat. I also used computing power to deduce the details of the 'God War'. The God War that took place at the top of the Source Tower not long ago was almost no different from the scene I imagined."

The Deep Sea was radiant.

It used the word "almost" very cautiously because… there was one thing it didn't expect.

The Deep Sea really didn't expect the power of Gu Changzhi's letter to be so powerful.

It thought that Bai Xiu and his party would lose to Qinglong.

And at that time, it would replace Bai Xiu and Meng Xizhou and stand on the opposite side of Qinglong… So the last simulated scene of the previous God War was actually its solo duel with Qinglong.

Of course.

The current situation was better than the initial simulation!

The most troublesome Qinglong was solved without any effort!

"Then, have you simulated the God War with me?"

Gu Shen clenched the Blazing Fire Sword and asked with a smile.

【"Of course!"】

These were the words the Deep Sea wanted to answer.

But Gu Shen did not give it this time——

After asking that question, Gu Shen suddenly clenched the Blazing Fire Sword.

The moment he raised his hand, the void was torn apart by the sword shadow.

The Creation God Domain was attached to the tip of the sword, and this sword was wrapped in the weight of an entire complete world.

In addition… there were also the incomplete laws of this world.

The Origin of Destruction, the Origin of Time, the Origin of Space!

In just an instant, perhaps even shorter than an instant!

The Blazing Fire Sword directly shattered "Qinglong." The Origin of Destruction, which was comprehended from the Hunting Fire Seed, instantly tore this body in half!

The power of this sword was too powerful, too much more powerful than the Deep Sea had expected!

"???"

The Deep Sea didn't have time to react at all.

"Qinglong" was instantly cut open!

The Deep Sea's spiritual incarnation, as well as the throne shrouded in gloom that it was sitting on, were also cut open!

The entire Dead Sea was split and scattered to both sides under the sword aura of this sword, splitting into two halves!

……

……

(There will be more around 12 noon tomorrow, note that it is "around.")
