Chapter 264: Chapter 240: The Destruction of Truth (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Divine War..."

"You are worthy too?"

When these lightly spoken words came out, the countenance of the God of Wine turned extremely grim.

He had never suffered such humiliation before.

Indeed... in the eyes of a Divine Throne, all mortals are like ants, but even among those mighty beings who wield the Power of Fire, there are degrees of strength; even the tallest mountains that reach into the clouds can be ranked by their height.

Without a doubt, Gu Changzhi was a mountain that stood taller than him.

Yet, among the highest echelons of Divine Thrones..., respect for each other and the rules of avoiding battle had never been broken, not in this decade or the one before, because they all understood that, although there might be variations in strength, the fall of any mountain peak was a weight humanity could not bear.

The God of Wine gazed at the youth enveloped by dark clouds.

Is this really "Gu Changzhi"?

He felt... this was entirely opposite to the Gu Changzhi he remembered, more like a conglomeration of darkness, gloom, and extremism.

When the good thoughts of the world come together, they create a great light.

The reverse is also true.

When the evil thoughts of the world gather, they become clouds that can destroy cities.

"Today is a good day... Why not... kill him here."

Suddenly, such a thought appeared in Gu Shen’s mind.

The moment this thought burst forth,

The soul that had been idly observing, controlled by Gu Shen’s self, suddenly woke up from its lethargic state.

Gu Shen realized... that back on the rooftop facing the blaze, when he first wielded the Truth Ruler, a similar voice had burst forth from his confused mind.

That voice was like the devil tempting him to slide into the abyss.

It was... an evil thought!

To take action and kill the God of Wine here sounded like a very bold suggestion... but in reality, this thought was too insane to succeed.

If he couldn’t obliterate the spirit of the God of Wine, it would lead to an irreversible disaster... Even without the divination skills of the Tomb Guardian, Gu Shen was well aware that the current East Continent simply couldn’t withstand external enemies.

Among the Five Continents, the Central Continent had the strongest power, with two Divine Thrones... and his current "Divine Arrival" was merely a trick of the Tomb Guardian, a temporary remedy.

In plain terms.

This wasn’t a real battle between "Divine Thrones"; it was just a thread of true Divine Thought reaching the battlefield.

The God of Wine just needed to withdraw his Divine Thought, leaving the Angel Envoy behind.

No matter how fiercely they fought, it was impossible to extinguish his will here.

The moment the voice of evil thoughts spoke, Gu Shen realized something was wrong.

This token choosing him... might not be a coincidence, but an inevitability, due to the nature of "Chi Huo," Gu Shen could naturally accept and bear the cleansing of Divine Power.

He was a more suitable "Divine Power Carrier" than Song Ci.

After the "Divine Arrival," Gu Shen knew one thing... if a Divine War erupted today, he would definitely win!

Gu Shen wasn’t sure how long Tie Wu’s body could carry the Power of Fire, but his own body... could undergo Divine Arrival without any burden!

But the Tomb Guardian probably hadn’t anticipated.

The "power" that came across the bridge today might not be the original consciousness of Gu Changzhi—

Apparently, "He" didn’t care about the future of the East Continent, nor did he care about his own life or death.

Gu Shen’s consciousness squeezed into his own body.

Since this "Divine Arrival"... could be dominated by himself.

Then, he would seize back control of his own body!

...

...

Dark clouds hung heavy overhead.

The hairs on the back of the God of Wine stood on end; he felt his Divine Thought was locked on.

The distant "Gu Changzhi," seated high amongst the clouds, raised his palm, aiming it at his own head... truly intending to attack.

Had this man been sleeping too long in Qingzhong, so long that he was no longer in his right mind?

Did he truly want to provoke a Divine War?

He was already prepared for battle!

The outcome of this battle didn’t matter much to him... if things really went south, he would just leave the "Divine Arrival" state.

Losing to Gu Changzhi would not be disgraceful.

And the next moment.

In the cloud above, a circle of silver-white ripples emanated from Gu Shen’s palm.

The Truth Ruler, destroyed.

The head of the God of Wine obliterated itself in an instant—

This wasn’t a bloody scene, for there was no blood splattering; in the Spiritual Divine Domain, a fallen head did not mean "death." The figure of the God of Wine staggered back rapidly, his hands lifted in a head-cradling gesture, his neck sprouting countless purple threads, and in an instant, a new head formed.

This world was all concocted from his spiritual power.

The facial features and internal organs were merely external condensed forms, a useless format.

What truly shocked the God of Wine was... his spiritual power had genuinely, undoubtedly vanished in parts!

The same thing that had happened to the Iron Throne earlier.

What kind of power was this?

Able to directly erase the existence of a spirit!

The next moment.

The truth’s glowing arc light burst forth anew from the youth in the clouds.

The head that had just been formed was obliterated once more!

"...Wait a moment!"

The spiritual power of the God of Wine was rapidly depleting as he formed a new head, he cried out urgently, but received no reply... Followed by the third obliteration of his head, the whole Divine Domain began to shake.

With each obliteration and rebirth of his head, he struggled to utter words.

"Gu Changzhi—"

"We..."

"Can..."

"Talk about this!"

Just when the God of Wine was about to give up on his Divine descent.

The destructive Truth Arc Light disappeared.

That hand slowly lowered.

"..."

A leisurely voice resonated from the clouds.

"How do you want to talk?"

Hearing this voice, the God of Wine breathed a sigh of relief as if granted amnesty. He noticed the gold shimmer in Gu Shen’s pupils was no longer pure, gradually mixed with a hint of black, and eventually, the glistening gold disappeared, turning into a plain pure black.

This scene did not make the God of Wine ponder for long.

Because his cleaved Divine Domain was still unrestored, it was evident that the opponent remained in the peak "Divine" state, capable of contending equally in his own Spiritual Domain.

The God of Wine paled as he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had even been ready to withdraw from his Divine descent—

If this Divine War had been back and forth, with only slight misses on his part, he would never have conceded... But now, that terrifying aura of destruction was even more unreasonable than the collapse of order... It was inconceivable how strong Gu Changzhi, who had been in seclusion in Qingzhong, had become!

Even stronger than what he had previously "observed."

The thick clouds in the distance slowly dissolved into blackness, the suspended tide gradually descending.

Gu Shen sat atop the tide of the Red Sea, realizing that subduing the malignant spirit was not as difficult as anticipated... much like his experience in the Ghost Cage, with intention dominating and enhanced by Chi Huo, that strand of malignance was thoroughly vanquished while he was lucid.

Now, he had regained control of his own body.

Perhaps due to the setting of the Dream World, he even felt an illusion that he could sustain "Divine" for an entire day.

However.

Considering that the "Divine" time of the God of Wine was already short.

Gu Shen spoke expressionlessly: "Since you desire to talk, then... let’s talk."

He paused briefly.

He lifted his hand wrapped in the Truth Arc Light, calmly stating: "But I don’t want to waste time—"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

...
