Chapter 729: Chapter 3: Meeting God_2

In the Divine Thrones of the Five Continents.

He could even be said to be in the most formidable years of his prime!

As long as he completely fused with the Battle Fire, his killing power would be enough to intimidate the Divine Thrones of the other continents... For East Continent, it could be seen as a ray of hope.

At the highest seat, there was someone who spoke, and he was extremely important.

Previously, Gu Changzhi had been in a long sleep.

East Continent had suffered much "unfair" treatment in the Five Continents, which was actually very real. The development among the Five Continents Council was not driven by the will of individual Divine Thrones. Even though the Light God’s Seat and the Beizhou Empress had some friendship with Gu Changzhi, it was impossible to ensure the development of East Continent... And under the targeting of the Source Tower, the relatively weaker East Continent would inevitably have to endure more "malice."

The weak region first became a pawn.

Then it became a chessboard.

After linking with Deep Sea, what the Five Continents Council had to ensure... was the highest interests of all humanity. There were always regions that had to bear more weight, and after Gu Changzhi stepped forward to kill the Wine God, this region became the Southern Continent.

In the distant mountains, there was a glow of radiant light.

The afterglow of the Battle Fire gradually converged.

A deep voice sounded—

"Gu Shen, you have finally returned."

Gu Shen could hardly believe his eyes. The young figure standing before him now was entirely different from the old "shadow" in his former impression.

Bai Shu had regained his youthful appearance.

He was not as tall as Gu Changzhi, but under the illumination of the fire, he still gave a great sense of security.

He looked towards Gu Shen and smiled slightly.

Before becoming a Divine Throne, Bai Shu’s eyes had already been deep enough.

Being looked at made one feel as though they were seen through completely.

Now... even more so.

Gu Shen smiled wryly and said, "About Chu Ling, please help take care of her, senior."

To the Transcendents of Changye, Chu Ling was a real person... Besides Li Qingsui and Li Qingci, no one else knew about Chu Ling’s dissipation.

And now, he had returned to Changye alone.

And for the foreseeable "future," Chu Ling would not appear.

This required a reason.

Fortunately... Master Qianye had already thought out this reason for Gu Shen and Chu Ling.

Nothing was more useful than the title of "the new Tomb Guardian."

The current Tomb Array Pattern could not block Chu Ling’s "Spiritual Link" in the zero-zero-one compartment. As long as she diverted some of her computational power, she could control this large array. In a sense, she indeed became the new Tomb Guardian of Qingzhong.

And she did not need to meet anyone.

"A small matter."

Bai Shu said lightly, "The cemetery is already enveloped by the Battle God Domain. I will leave a trace of the Power of Fire to project her image. The Transcendents who often visit the cemetery will see her figure."

"There is one more thing that needs your help, senior."

Gu Shen spoke again, "In the Snow Forbidden City, there is a mansion where... some small items are kept."

Bai Shu smiled slightly, saying nothing, and quietly looked at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen said helplessly, "Those small items are Mr. Shan’s compensation to the former Netherworld King."

The initial conversation had taken place in the cemetery. How could it escape Bai Shu’s senses?

From the end of the funeral to Mr. Shan delivering the goods... Every detail had likely been observed by this senior.

"Your things, you can fetch them yourself." Bai Shu stated calmly, "Since you are the real ’Netherworld King,’ why worry about Mr. Shan and the others finding anything unusual?"

Gu Shen was slightly taken aback at his words.

Then he noticed some unusualness in the cemetery.

"The seal... has loosened?"

He gazed in surprise at the distance. Under the suppression of the five giant statues, the "Netherworld King’s Spark" emitting dark light actually revealed a very small crack. Although minuscule, it was a revelation.

This was remarkable.

Gu Shen instinctively felt tense... A trace of the Netherworld King’s Spark, once out of control, would be enough to throw the entire cemetery into turmoil.

It took only an instant for him to realize that the current cemetery was no longer the site of the previous battle.

The new Divine Throne was born.

Bai Shu firmly suppressed this unowned "Netherworld King’s Spark." Under the radiance of the Golden Divine Domain, the Netherworld King Power would not affect the other Transcendents.

As long as... they didn’t get too close.

Within the area of the Divine Domain, if he didn’t allow it, no one could approach.

"In these days, several ’gazes’ have flashed over this place." Bai Shu said, "It is very clear that the Divine Thrones of the Outer Continent are very interested in Qingzhong... in you, me, and in this place."

Gu Shen understood the real reason for the Netherworld King’s aura leaking out.

The Divine Thrones of the Outer Continent had tested multiple times with spiritual power... and the aura of the Netherworld King had not appeared, which was indeed unsuitable.

So Bai Shu had opened a crack, releasing a trace of the Netherworld King’s aura, allowing this faintly dark and turbid aura to mix with the Holy Light of the Battle God Domain. The Divine Thrones of the Outer Continent wouldn’t be able to see through the cemetery without coming here in person.

This served as a deterrent!

"These spiritual powers have retreated now."

Bai Shu smiled, "If you count it carefully, you should take half the credit."

Gu Shen glanced at that slit with vertical pupils.

Perhaps because of the great power of the Battle God Domain, the "ominous" feeling in his heart did not rise.

Gu Shen vaguely felt his connection with the Spark had become simpler.

So he focused his thoughts...
