Chapter 639 God's Covenant

　　The Central Continent sent two apostles to the capital.

　　Assassinating Lu Nanzhi was only one of their goals...Compared to the Awakening Act, there was an even more important matter, which was to investigate whether Gu Changzhi was alive or dead.

　　This was the biggest question weighing on the minds of the council members for the past twenty years.

　　The truth had been buried in Qingzhong (Green Mound) for too long, and everyone needed an answer.

　　Now, Dionysus saw it—

　　The answer was that Gu Changzhi was still alive.

　　But the current "Divine Advent" was very abnormal.

　　Dionysus calmed down and tentatively asked, "Since you have never died...why wait until today to reveal yourself?"

　　Gu Shen did not respond.

　　He just looked at Dionysus coldly.

　　Everything was implied in his silence.

　　"...What do you want to talk about, and how?" Dionysus felt a headache coming on.

　　Taming the Fire Seed and becoming a Divine Seat was actually just putting a layer of deified clothing on a mortal heart.

　　If the guise of "Dionysus" were removed, would he still be revered by thousands in the Source Tower?

　　Just like now...even in his own Divine Domain, he was still inevitably reduced to a mortal, needing to assess the situation, plot against others, and strive for the final benefits for himself and Central Continent.

　　Beneath the guise of a god, there was not necessarily a pure and flawless heart.

　　Or rather...there had never been a god in this world who was high above and untouched by the dust of the world.

　　Gu Shen remained expressionless.

　　But his mind was working quickly.

　　Obviously, Dionysus wanted to extract some information from him...Perhaps this lofty Divine Seat had never imagined that this body was not controlled by Gu Changzhi, but by himself.

　　"..."

　　He still did not respond, but simply raised his palm again, with the arc of truth symbolizing "destruction" appearing in his palm.

　　This battle of gods had ended before it even began.

　　Holding the Ruler of Truth, which had been developed to 200% by the "Divine Advent thought," Gu Shen could shatter the Divine Domain at any time. In this situation, he held absolute initiative.

　　He had to ensure that after today's Divine Advent ended, Dionysus would believe...that Gu Changzhi was still alive.

　　The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

　　He didn't want to reveal any information.

　　So, Gu Shen adopted a tough stance, ready to overturn the table at any moment.

　　This was not the same as before.

　　There was a delicate balance between war and peace. When both sides regained their senses, and one side was willing to make concessions...then the possibility of renewed war would be greatly reduced.

　　If that wisp of evil thought were controlling the body, then the Divine Domain would probably have been shattered to pieces by now.

　　And what kind of counterattack Dionysus would make after ending the Divine Advent under滔天怒火(towering rage)...was unknown.

　　Gu Shen didn't speak.

　　Dionysus could only guess for himself.

　　He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If what you care about is the Awakening Act in East洲(zhou)...this is not something I can decide alone...but after today, knowing that you are still alive, the Federation will definitely reconsider..."

　　"Since you can have Divine Advent, then participate in the Divine Seat会议(huiyi) ...we will all seriously consider your opinion!"

　　Hearing these words of compromise and concession...Gu Shen immediately understood a regrettable and infuriating truth.

　　Indeed.

　　The implementation of the act was a sharp sword used by the Source Tower to test whether Gu Changzhi was still alive.

　　This was bullying East洲(zhou) for having no one!

　　If what Mr. Turing said was true...then the promulgation of the Act would cause a disaster.

　　"The Act should not be promulgated," Gu Shen said slowly.

　　"…?"

　　Dionysus's expression froze, and he frowned.

　　This didn't sound like something Gu Changzhi would say...

　　"Presumably you are also aware that the Act is the optimal choice calculated by the Deep Sea. Even if it is not implemented in East洲(zhou), it will be promulgated in other regions." Dionysus said with some confusion, "Back then, you were the most enthusiastic supporter of 深水区(Deep Sea Zone) construction and the promotion of transcendent development... Now, you are the one standing up to oppose the Act. Gu Changzhi, what are you thinking?"

　t like that?

Gu Changzhi was actually the most supportive person for 深水区(Deep Sea Zone) construction…

　　Gu Shen avoided the topic and said, "Besides the Act...what else?"

　　For some reason, Dionysus's attitude changed.

　　He narrowed his eyes and no longer backed down. "Since this is a negotiation, you have to say something, right? Your behavior in the Divine Domain has already violated the default rules between the Supreme Seats."

　　"Rules?" Gu Shen said coldly, "Who violated the rules first?"

　　Central洲(zhou) sent apostles to openly assassinate the capital's议员(yiyuan).

　　These were "representatives" acting on the orders of the gods. If this matter were investigated...it wasn't East洲(zhou) that wanted to provoke a war, but the Source Tower.

　　If there was no Divine Advent today.

　　Then, not long after...East洲(zhou) would become a plaything in the hands of the great figures of the Source Tower.

　　"…"

　　Dionysus's attitude suddenly changed.

　　He slowly floated backward, maintaining a distance, and gazed at Gu Shen meaningfully. His azure pupils reflected everything in the world, as if he could see through all the souls within this body.

　　The god in the moon-white robe said softly, "You are not Gu Changzhi."

　　The negotiation was terminated at this moment.

　　"I have never seen such a 'Divine Advent,' nor have I ever seen a relic change hands..."

　　"Strange..."

　　"Too strange..."

　　"Is this...really Gu Changzhi's relic?"

　　Dionysus spread his arms and adopted a free-falling posture.

　　Before falling, he looked at the silver arc of light in Gu Shen's palm. It was indeed a terrifying weapon, but unfortunately...this was just a battle in the spiritual realm.

　　No matter how this battle developed, it would not threaten his Fire Seed, his life.

　　"I don't believe that Gu Changzhi is still alive..."

　　The voice of the moon-white robed youth echoed in the night sky.

　　"If you want to erase my head, then erase it. I won't resist in the final moments of 'Divine Advent.' This battle of gods is meaningless...this negotiation is also meaningless. After today, regarding the truth of this 'Divine Advent' and the secrets of Qingzhong (Green Mound), I will personally go to East洲(zhou) to find the answer."

　　Behind him.

　　The falling raindrop was about to hit the ground.

　　This was one second in the real world.

　　This was also the amount of time that Tie Wu's body could bear the "Divine Advent"...Everyone's frozen thoughts were about to recover, like spring reviving, ice melting, and just at the last moment before the water droplet was about to fall.

　　A wisp of blazing fire ignited on Gu Shen's brow.

　　Dionysus's complete Divine Domain had originally been cut in half by the arc of truth, but at this moment...it was completely剥离(stripped away). This was not a power symbolizing destruction.

　　The night of the capital was burned and shattered.

　　Dionysus fell with his arms outstretched. He did not return to the Source Tower as expected, but fell to the solid ground.

　　He was stunned.

　　Blinding light filled his vision, like a grand palace built of countless lights.

　　This was?

　　This was...

　　Dionysus propped himself up with his elbows, struggling to sit up.

　　This was...Gu Changzhi's spiritual Divine Domain.

　　He had seen it before...because of that "窥伺(peeking)," he had paid the price.

　　Dionysus's face turned pale. As a Divine Seat himself, his spiritual power was forcibly detained elsewhere after the end of Divine Advent?

　　A man stood on the luminous throne, his body wrapped in blazing flames, his face obscured, but his voice resounded like a great bell, echoing in all directions of the boundless light.

　　"I won't trouble you to come in person..."

　　"I am still alive."

　　…
