Over a hundred armed shuttles fill the sky.
The seawater below is currently rejecting my entry.
That detestable living person is hovering in the air, looking down on me.
For the first time in many years, the black cloaked skeleton was once again reminded how it feels to be cornered.
He panted heavily, then abruptly cursed: ă Ask! Then get the fuck away from me! ă
âThatâs more like it. Actually I also donât want to keep pursuing you to death, itâs better if we donât ever meet again after thisâ Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Hearing that managed to calm the black cloaked skeletonâs emotions a little bit.
He grinded his teeth: ă We had better not. I never want to see your face ever again ă
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked something that he has been wondering about for a very long time.
In the past life, in merely half a day, the Human Realm was completely destroyed.
Who knows what kind of chaos would ensue from Huang Quan if there were more time.
This life, the Frozen Hell was already beginning to descend.
Then, what else would appear after that?
Gu Qing Shan kept having a dreadful premonition.
If Huang Quan truly does have a problem, then it might not be just one hell that descends on the Human Realm.
âThere are probably other hells aside from the Frozen Hell in Huang Quan, correct?â he asked.
ă What a ridiculous question, of course there is more than one level of hell in Huang Quan ăthe black cloaked skeleton answered.
This wasnât anything that he had to hide.
Gu Qing Shanâs heart sank.
He calmed himself down a bit before asking further: âAfter the Frozen Hell, will there be any other hells that descend on the Human Realm?â
The black cloaked skeleton sarcastically answered: ă Do you know how deep hell is? Iâm only a dead person, how would I travel freely between the hells? ă
ă Iâll tell you right now, I actually donât know the situation of the other hells ă
Gu Qing Shan caught on to a clue.
âWhat exactly happened in Huang Quan?â he asked.
The black cloaked skeleton irritatedly spoke: ă I canât tell you what happened in Huang Quan ă
âIs that so? Then youâll have to wait for my endless pursuitâ Gu Qing Shan said.
The black cloaked skeleton shouted: ă You canât kill me! ă
âIâll just keep sticking close to ensure youâll never wake upâ Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
ă I can tell you anything else, but definitely not about what happened in Huang Quan ăthe black cloaked skeleton tried to compromise.
âYou canât tell me the truth⊠why is that?â Gu Qing Shan could feel his determination, so he decided to ask in a different way.
âââalright fine, I wonât ask what happened, but I want to know why you canât tell meâ
ă Because if I talk about it, Iâll be found out immediately ăthe black cloaked skeletonâs face wasnât able to hold any kind of expression.
But from his words and tone, Gu Qing Shan could feel fear.
When speaking about this subject, he started to feel fearful
âWhat are you afraid of? A dead person cannot die, what else could make you this frightenedâŠâ Gu Qing Shan muses over this.
Then he realized something and asked: âCould be it ââ-if you talk about what happened in Huang Quan, you might be done for?â
The black cloaked skeleton hurriedly answered: ă Permanently done for, no matter who it is, no matter how strong they are, as long as they dare to mention a word of this, they will be truly, erased without a trace ă
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Why does this sound so familiar?
A certain image flashed in Gu Qing Shanâs mind.
The bronze pillar.
âWho are you?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
The large corpse answered: âYou had better not know, once my name is spoken, both you and I will be discoveredâ
And then followed with another image.
In front of the mountaintop mansion.
ă I once hid away in the space vortex for over 10,000 years, but I canât talk too much about that, lest a Divinity might sense it ăthe Earth Sword spoke with its ringing voice.
After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan glanced at the black cloaked skeleton and asked: âYou are afraid of the Divinity?â
The black cloaked skeleton looked at Gu Qing Shan in surprise, but stayed silent.
He only stared back at Gu Qing Shan with his two jet black eye sockets
Staying silent is also a form of confirmation.
His guess was correct.
He couldnât say it because heâs afraid of Divinity.
Gu Qing Shan was confused: âShouldnât the Divinity be governing the hells of Huang Quan and arranging places for the dead?â
The black cloaked skeleton still said nothing, only stared at Gu Qing Shan and snickered lightly.
That snicker contained a hint of sorrow as well as a lot of sarcasm.
Gu Qing Shan noticed the implications of that and continued: âFrom your expression, Iâm guessing Divinities arenât behind thisâ
The black cloaked skeleton hung his head and said nothing.
Silent confirmation.
Another silent confirmation.
Once Gu Qing Shan understood, he started to silently thought about it.
Huang Quan⊠DivinityâŠ
First of all, there is definitely something wrong with Huang Quan.
Next, Divinities arenât responsible for managing the dead people, but he doesnât know exactly what Divinities do.
Once again, due to his fear of the Divinities, the black cloaked skeleton refused to even say a word.
Finally, dead people can revive infinitely in hell to continue receiving the pain and suffering their sins brought.
A dead person canât die again.
Then what exactly does a dead person fear?
âIf what you said is true, Divinities arenât responsible for dealing with the deadâ
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself: âYet the Divinity cause you fear. If a once-undefeated person like you were to feel fear⊠then the Divinity shouldâŠâ
ă Stop! Stop right there! Do not say another word! ă the black cloaked skeleton yelled loudly.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
The black cloaked skeleton was panting heavily.
Looking closely, you could tell his entire body was trembling.
He was feeling fear so great that he couldnât control his own bodily reflexes.
The black cloaked skeleton shook his head repeatedly: ă You are a frightening living person. Iâd rather fall into slumber again or even be pursued by you until the ends of the earth than to keep talking with you ă
âWhy is that?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
ă Too dangerous! Itâs too dangerous! Do you not understand! ă
The black cloaked skeletonâs tone contained an uncomfortable sense of immense fear.
He spoke in a low voice: ă I really made a big mistake, I shouldnât have tried to think of a way to descend so soon, I shouldâve just waited until the Frozen Hell completely manifested on the Human Realm before I went out ă
He put his big hands on his own neck.
âYouâre already returning?â Gu Qing Shan tried to keep him, âhow about we keep talking a bit more? Truthfully, I still have a few questions âââ
The black cloaked skeleton violently cut him off and screamed in a frenzy: ă No! I donât want to say another word, or even show another expression to you! ă
He roared violently: ă A monster such as you, when the Human Realm completely turns into hell, you wonât even get a chance to enter hell! ă
Saying so, the black cloaked skeleton twisted his own neck.
Itâs dead.
ââ-it had once again fallen into a slumber of death.
âHe ranâ Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He swung the Chao Yin Sword.
The ocean quickly calmed back downâŠ
But Gu Qing Shanâs mentality wasnât the least bit calm.
âWhen the Human Realm completely turns into hell, you wonât even get a chance to enter hell!â
The way he said that was full of fear and fright.
What exactly happened that a ruling monarch of countless years, who had continued his reign even in hell would show such emotions?
The black cloaked skeleton would rather go back to his slumber than to say anymore.
As a dead person, what exactly is he afraid of?
Can a Divinity kill a dead person?
Gu Qing Shan had a few guesses, but he had no way to confirm them.
There simply is too little intelligence, pitifully little.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and started contemplating about it.
It seems everything is even more frightening than I had imagined.
Not good, Iâll have to quickly seize the time for the next phase.
