Chapter 779: Humanity’s Preparations

Gu Qing Shan sat on the throne of the Divine King with a chilling expression on his face.

Faint but an intense killing intent drifted from his body.

“Is this the human who massacred our Divine race in the future era?” he questioned.

「 No, it isn’t her 」the Golden Flame Divinity appeared very disappointed.

Gu Qing Shan was slightly shocked.

Hearing that, the two Divinities hurriedly explained to the Golden Flame Divinity: 「 We used the method you taught us to single out suspicious humans. She was found to be the most suspicious of them all, jumping from sect to sect as if trying to look for something, that’s how we captured her 」

The Golden Flame Divinity sighed: 「 It seems she also came here to look for that human 」

The Golden Flame Divinity felt sluggish from being hopeful for no reason and continued: 「 This human is useless to us, kill her 」

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Luo Bing Li, then said: “Not so soon, perhaps we can use this woman as bait to lure that human out”

「 It’s useless 」the Golden Flame Divinity shook his head, 「 Whenever these humans concealed inside the phantom images realized that we are trying to use them for something, they would immediately kill themselves 」

Gu Qing Shan smirked cruelly and slowly spoke: “Kill herself? Facing this Divine King, she won’t get a chance to even try”

Hearing that, Luo Bing Li showed a resolute expression.

Before she was captured, she used a unique method to locate Gu Qing Shan and arrived at this phantom image to look for him.

But even after several days of searching all over the largest sects of humanity, she couldn’t even find a trace of him.

Even after she was captured, she still held some hope of seeing if Gu Qing Shan was in the Sky Beyond Heaven.

But she still couldn’t find Gu Qing Shan here.

It was time for her life to end.

As long as a special technique was used to burn away both my life and soul, even the Divinities wouldn’t be able to obtain any useful information from me.

This way, Gu Qing Shan will be completely safe and humanity’s secret will be preserved.

With that in mind, Luo Bing Li was about to off herself.

All of a sudden, a voice was sent through inner sight directly into her mind.

“It’s me, don’t die”

Luo Bing Li froze.

This was clearly Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight and Gu Qing Shan’s voice.

——–but where is he?

Luo Bing Li tried to maintain her calm and quickly scanned the entire Grand Divine Palace.

That reckless brat, he was actually hiding here!

People say that the most dangerous place was also the safest place——- but this place is simply too dangerous! Not only is the Golden Flame Divinity here, the newly crowned Divine King, the God of Frost and Chill is also here.

Where is Gu Qing Shan hiding?

Luo Bing Li opened her eyes wide, trying to look around.

But she found nothing.

Only the God of Frost and Chill coldly scoffed on this throne and cruelly spoke: “I will completely seal her power with extreme frost and let her suffer every waking moment of the day, let us see if that human is going to save her”

The Golden Flame Divinity shook his head: 「 It’s useless, she will definitely burn her life and soul away, erasing every trace of her existence 」

He then glanced at Luo Bing Li with a puzzled look.

Before coming here, he already went with the figure of light to several phantom images and captured quite a few real human cultivators hiding inside the phantom images.

But those humans have always killed themselves immediately without hesitation.

So why hasn’t this woman done that?

It wasn’t just the Golden Flame Divinity who was puzzled, Luo Bing Li herself was also puzzled.

That brat really is impressive, he’s clearly hiding inside the Divine King’s Palace, but not only am I not able to find him, even the Divine King and the Golden Flame Divinity were unable to find him.

——where exactly is he hiding?

At this point, Luo Bing Li realized that the ice had already begun to form around her feet, quickly spreading up her body.

Oh no!

The Divine King already acted!

They want to capture me to lure Gu Qing Shan out.

I can’t let that happen!

Luo Bing Li triggered the suicidal secret technique again.

An intense wave of spirit energy was being emitted from her body.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight came again.

“Oi, what are you doing? Don’t suicide, I have complete confidence to be able to save you”

He hurriedly sent his voice.

This time, Luo Bing Li followed the inner sight to find where he was.

As she carefully sensed his location, Luo Bing Li noticed something.

She noticed a fact that she found it impossible to believe.

She abruptly looked at the Divine King’s throne, at the newly crowned Divine King.

The God of Frost and Chill was leaning back on his throne, manipulating the frost in the air with one hand.

Boundless frost had already frozen Luo Bing Li’s legs up to her knees and quickly spread towards her hips.

The Divine King appeared triumphant: “Just look, she still hasn’t suicided. I knew not every human had the bravery to kill themselves”

The Golden Flame Divinity paused briefly before speaking: 「 That would be best, I hope we’ll be able to lure him out this way 」

The Divine King clenched his fist tightly: “Indeed, at that time, all of us will act, we can definitely capture the human you spoke of”

The Golden Flame Divinity nodded.

The chilling ice continued to spread towards the top of Luo Bing Li’s body.

Half of her body was already sealed inside the ice.

But she didn’t have the time to pay attention to that——– she was completely focused on maintaining her desperate expression.

“You…” Luo Bing Li tried probing by sending her voice towards the Divine King.

“It’s me”

“Prove it”

“The Spirit Tortoise sent me into the phantom images, Xie Gu Hong is my Master, you wanted me to take a Desolate coin, telling me that the coin would be able to counter Divinities. After that, the Divine race and Desolate race both attacked the Barren Cloud Heaven’s Grotto of that era. You and I then escaped from that phantom image” Gu Qing Shan quickly sent his voice.

“It is you, but how did you become the Divine King?” Luo Bing Li was still unable to believe what she was seeing.

“I took a special acting class”

“…What’s acting?”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. If you were able to find me among countless phantom images, you must’ve made the appropriate preparations—— what should we do now?”

Luo Bing Li immediately answered him: “Leave this phantom image”

“How do we do that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Luo Bing Li replied: “We need to collect a lot of materials to create the jade disk that leads to another set of hidden phantom images”

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief: “So humanity actually had something else prepared, that’s great, let me think this through…”

The two of them quickly conversed and made things clear in a split second.

Gu Qing Shan quickly tried to come up with something.

One breath later.

He sent his voice: “How about we do this…”

…

When the frost reached Luo Bing Li’s neck, she suddenly cried out.

“I surrender, I don’t want to die!”

The Divine King’s expression twitched lightly and stopped freezing her.

“Human female, tell me all of your secrets, or I will let you experience the suffering of being eternally frozen” the Divine King declared.

Luo Bing Li was about to say something.

「 Wait! 」the Golden Flame Divinity stopped them.

“What is it? Why did you stop me from hearing what she has to say?” the Divine King scowled.

「 I think we need the God of Lies on the scene 」the Golden Flame Divinity suggested.

The God of Lies had the unique ability to recognize a lie that any creature utter in front of him.

The Divine King paused, then slowly nodded: “You are right, summon the God of Lies”

「 Yes 」

A Divinity received the order and left.

A few moments later, the God of Lies came into the palace.

The Golden Flame Divinity now looked at Luo Bing Li and spoke seriously: 「 Now, you may speak. But know this, if you utter so much as a single word of falsehood, the Divine King shall let you taste the pain of being frozen for 10,000 years 」

“If I tell nothing but the truth, will the Divine King spare me?” Luo Bing Li questioned.

“Naturally, as long as you say nothing but the truth, this King can guarantee your life” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“But he——-” Luo Bing Li hesitantly glanced towards the Golden Flame Divinity.

The Golden Flame Divinity avoided her gaze and spoke: 「 No need to look at me, the will of the Divine King is the will of the Divine race 」

「 Now spit it out! 」he loudly ordered her.

Luo Bing Li spoke every word clearly: “I have a unique jade disk that can sense any human that enters a phantom image, so I came here”

「 After you found him, what did you intend to do? 」 the Divine King questioned.

Luo Bing Li looked at the Divine King and hesitantly answered: “I want to tell him not to follow the previous secret order and continue towards the next phantom image. In fact, he shouldn’t even go into the phantom image after the next”

「 Why? 」the Golden Flame Divinity questioned.

“Because after the phantom image where I hid was destroyed, I used a unique method to investigate and found out that several of the following phantom images were rigged” Luo Bing Li replied.

「 Go on 」the Divine King curtly ordered.

Luo Bing Li continued: “I want to make a new jade disk with him to completely avoid the rigged secret phantom images and head towards another set of hidden phantom images”

The Golden Flame Divinity was ecstatic.

It turns out humanity still had other preparations.

The path towards the true final moment of the Age of Old must be hidden among the hidden phantom images.

At the true final moment of the Age of Old, a sword that could kill Divinities was hidden!

——I absolutely will not allow Gu Qing Shan to enter that phantom image!

The Golden Flame Divinity shouted: 「 How is that jade disk created? 」

Luo Bing Li answered: “Only after all the materials have been gathered will the seal within my Thought Sea be released. Only then would I know the method to craft that jade disk”

“Which materials are needed?” the Divine King asked.

Luo Bing Li listed a large amount of precious Smithing materials.

The Divine King and Golden Flame Divinity both glanced towards the God of Lies.

The God of Lies nodded: 「 She isn’t lying 」

The Divine King waved his hand.

Boundless frost immediately gathered and completely froze Luo Bing Li’s body, sealing her inside.

「 What are you doing? 」the Golden Flame Divinity asked.

“Sealing her right here” the Divine King stood up, still absolutely calm and composed: “I will send even more people to surround and guard this place. The human you spoke of would not be able to get close or find out how to create the jade disk”

The Golden Flame Divinity thought briefly: 「 Meanwhile, we will gather the materials in preparation for creating the jade disk? 」

“Exactly” the Divine King glanced at the Golden Flame Divinity and spoke in a low voice: “As soon as we obtain the method, we will kill his human female”

The Golden Flame Divinity muttered to himself: 「 This way, both the material and the method for creating the jade disks will be held in our hands, that human would have no chance to obtain either of them 」

“Indeed, that human is no longer important—— the true future will be held in this King’s hands” the Divine King declared.

The Golden Flame Divinity thought back and forth a few times, concluding that this was indeed the best solution.

Since the original path was already cut off, Gu Qing Shan would definitely not be able to travel along the secret phantom images and arrive at the moment when humanity hid the Heaven sword away.

While the new path will be held in my and the Divine King’s hands.

With that in mind, the Golden Flame Divinity slowly relaxed, a bright smile appeared on his face.
