Chapter 802: The King’s Thoughts
Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9
A single line of glowing text remained in the middle of the War God UI .
This was the overall combined details of the previous battle .
[Through this combat, you obtained 7651 Soul Points in total]
[Remaining Soul Points: 11578/600]
Gu Qing Shan glanced over it .
If this was before, about 10,000 Soul Points wasn’t much .
But now that the War God System took a large portion of Soul Points each time, each Desolate monster he killed only gave him Soul Points in the single or double digits .
So being able to accumulate that much Soul Points was already quite enough for Gu Qing Shan .
What can 10,000 Soul Points do?
Not much, but it’s enough for me to find cultivation scriptures among Xie Gu Hong’s inheritance . After cultivating for a few days, I’ll be able to break the final chains and achieve Void Wanderer realm cultivation .
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed .
——–unfortunately, after transforming into the God of Frost and Chill, one thing kept happening after another that required my full attention . Even now I don’t have the time to cultivate .
All those thoughts in his head only took Gu Qing Shan a mere breath’s worth of time in the real world .
「 Your Divine Majesty, what were you thinking about? 」the figure of light asked .
“I was thinking of how to face our real enemy” Gu Qing Shan sighed .
After all, an existence at the Soul Shrieker’s level would cause anyone to feel despair as an enemy .
「 The true enemy? What does that mean? 」the figure of light doubtfully asked .
“It is as you think, the Lord of Desolation is actually not a big problem”
While saying that, Gu Qing Shan was silently thinking of the proper words to express this information .
The figure of light only needed to think briefly to understand what Gu Qing Shan meant .
It seems the Divine King really did find out something!
The figure of light was very shaken and asked: 「 Your Divine Majesty, what exactly did you find out on your trip to the Desolate world? 」
“The Lord of Desolation wasn’t actually the source of our race’s deterioration . In fact, the Desolate race themselves were being manipulated” Gu Qing Shan replied .
He told the figure of light everything that happened in the Daoist temple .
Naturally, he couldn’t tell him about the [Human Regiment]’s awakening, nor about the Devil King Warden Rod . Gu Qing Shan glossed over the process of interrogating the old man with him using the power of the Divine race .
——-as the Divine King, the God of Frost and Chill’s power had already reached the peak of Paragon realm .
No matter how immortal or eternal that white-haired old man was, he was a mere Void Wanderer realm human cultivator, he shouldn’t even be an issue for the Divine King .
After hearing Gu Qing Shan’s recollection, the figure of light went into a long silence .
Luo Bing Li also pursed her lips, thought of something in the past, and continued looking down without saying a word .
The Winds of Chaotic Tribulation .
The Tie Wei fortress wall .
The manipulated Desolate race .
The terrifying True God: Soul Shrieker .
As well as the unbelievable truth: the twin swords Heaven and Earth were only components of a weapon from the Eternal Abyss .
The figure of light looked at Gu Qing Shan .
「 If that really was the truth, everything now makes sense 」
「 We never thought that the truth of history would be that way 」
Such a shocking secret was hidden so deep inside the Tie Wei fortress walls by the Desolate race that none from the Divine race managed to uncover it until now .
It was only today that the truth of history was discovered by a Divine King from a fragment of a parallel world .
Gu Qing Shan asked: “You are the collective consciousness of all Divinities, the dying will of all dead Divinities as well as those who remained . Do you have a way to fight against such a situation?”
The figure of light said nothing .
The entire Grand Divine Palace was silent .
Gu Qing Shan waited for a while before chuckling .
“That’s right, we couldn’t even go against the Desolate race, nevermind the undying Eternal True God behind them”
Saying so, he turned around, walked up the stairs, and sat down on the Divine Throne .
「 Your Divine Majesty, you seem to be very calm 」the figure of light commented .
“Against looming despair that our Divine race cannot overcome no matter what, even I can’t come up with any ideas” Gu Qing Shan replied .
He glanced over the figure of light and looked down at Luo Bing Li .
She was still lowering her head and concentrating on creating the jade disk without displaying any fearful expressions .

Indeed, as a top cultivator of humanity, she was purposefully not looking at Gu Qing Shan to avoid rousing the figure of light’s suspicion .
A brief thought crossed Gu Qing Shan’s mind and he glanced back at the figure of light .
In theory, after finding out such a huge secret, the figure of light should have immediately left this world and triggered all of the Divine race’s preparations .
But he wasn’t doing anything .
From the looks of it, this matter had already gone far above all of the Divine race’s preparations .
Their preparations were only meant to deal with humanity .
But against an Eternal True God?
——-in other words, the Divine race had already reached the end of their rope, they had no choice but to make a final decision .
Gu Qing Shan remained emotionless, both hands resting on his throne as if immersed in his own world, wondering about any solution he might be able to come up with .
In truth, he was only waiting .
Waiting to see how the figure of light would act .
After a long while of silence, the figure of light couldn’t help speaking: 「 How about we find the Golden Flame Divinity, he might——- 」
Gu Qing Shan immediately cut off the figure of light’s words and spoke with a seemingly slow but actually fast tone: “What the Golden Flame Divinity cares about is only his future, I do not feel relieved about telling him the truth”
「 What does your Divine Majesty mean? 」the figure of light asked .
Gu Qing Shan’s voice became low: “Think about it for a bit, what is the first thing he’s going to do after he knows about this?”
The figure of light replied: 「 Use everything he knows and help us face this problem 」
“That is not the case . If we were to force an existence from the future like himself to make a decisive choice at certain moments——–”
“For example, if he had to choose between saving us or kill Gu Qing Shan, I believe that he would discard us without hesitation and kill Gu Qing Shan”
“Because Gu Qing Shan is related to his future”
“While we only exist in our past . To him, we are already dead, we’re not worth him saving”
「 He might not be that way, and there were no such moments in history 」the figure of light said .
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist and looked straight at the figure of light: “This King shoulders the future of the entire Divine race, I will not take even the tiniest risk . That is why we are having this discussion about what he would do in such a situation”
The figure of light said nothing .
Gu Qing Shan continued: “Unless he can prove that he still holds goodwill towards the Divine race of this era, only then am I willing to share the secret of the Eternal Abyss with him”
The figure of light thought briefly and spoke: 「 Please release the Golden Flame Divinity, your Divine Majesty, I shall lead him into a small test so see what kind of choice he would make 」

Does that mean the Divine race was able to create a few secretive fragments of time among the phantom images?
But he didn’t have the time to consider that right now, Gu Qing Shan uttered without changing his expression: “Men!”
Six Divine Guards came into the audience hall .
“Go and release the Golden Flame Divinity” Gu Qing Shan ordered .
The Divine Guards received their orders and left .
The figure of light bowed to Gu Qing Shan: 「 Your Divine Majesty, I will bring him away, if the answer I receive is as you assume, I will return 」
“You are dismissed” Gu Qing Shan replied .
The figure of light left the Grand Divine Palace .
The only people left in the audience hall were Gu Qing Shan and Luo Bing Li .
It was now that Luo Bing Li sent her voice to Gu Qing Shan through inner sight .
“What are you thinking? Why did you reveal such a big secret to the Divine race?” she doubtfully asked .
“Only by knowing about the threat of the Soul Shrieker would they loosen their oppression of humanity” Gu Qing Shan replied .
He stretched his back, looking a bit exhausted .
That was natural, he had been in a strained mental state ever since before arriving at the Desolate world until now, constantly on the lookout to deal with every variable that might appear . Even someone like Gu Qing Shan would feel drained .
Luo Bing Li carefully recalled the previous conversation and asked again: “You also let the Golden Flame Divinity go . He is someone who came from the future that knows everything about what we did, are you going to be so careless that you let the figure of light take him away just like that?”
Gu Qing Shan yawned: “That wasn’t carelessness . To make a profit, first, you need to take a small loss”
“I don’t understand” Luo Bing Li replied .
“Don’t worry, after the Golden Flame Divinity makes his choice, they will surely return here”
“Why would he return at all?”
“I was the only Divinity in history that managed to find the truth of history; the only Divinity who’s actively working to change the outcome of the Divine race; the only Divine King that had awoken . The figure of light wouldn’t be willing to let go of someone like me so easily”
Luo Bing Li thought briefly before asking: “If I were the Golden Flame Divinity, I would probably not save these Divinity from the past and focus on accomplishing my mission and save my future——– but what if the Golden Flame Divinity wasn’t how you and I think he was? What if he really tried to save these Divinities in history?”
“Who cares, that’s only a small issue”
Gu Qing Shan said without much care .
He even took out a bottle of liquor and poured himself a cup, slowly enjoying it on his throne .
Luo Bing Li looked up at Gu Qing Shan in surprise, unable to grasp what he was thinking .

Seeing his attitude, she really didn’t want to bother asking again, but this was such an important matter that she wouldn’t feel assured without asking .
“This is a great kind of liquor, you’ve been through a lot lately as well, want some?”
“Gu Qing Shan, this isn’t a small issue, the Golden Flame Divinity came from the future——”
Before Luo Bing Li finished speaking, Gu Qing Shan cut her off: “So what if he is? If he gave up on saving Divinities from the past, the figure of light would naturally take my side”
Luo Bing Li pursued: “Then what if he decided to save the Age of Old Divinities? What are you going to do then?”
“That would be even better . Since he had proven his loyalty to the Divine race, I would be able to get him to serve the Age of Old Divinities better—— don’t worry, this king is going to use him very thoroughly”
Gu Qing Shan casually answered .
He poured another cup and sent it flying down, telling her:
“I suggest you take a short rest, drinking a little bit would allow you to relax yourself better”
Luo Bing Li muttered and was unable to keep herself from taking the cup .
The liquor inside the cup was a transparent topaz color, fresh and alluring .
“The Eternal True God wasn’t only the one behind everything, it was also an unbeatable opponent, do you have a way to deal with it now?” Luo Bing Li asked .
“Not yet, so we still have a lot to do from now one . Right now, the most important thing is to let loose a little bit . Otherwise, if my mental state is too high-strung, it would be easy for me to make a mistake” Gu Qing Shan told her .
“On the contrary, I feel like drinking liquor right now would make it easier to cause mistakes” Luo Bing Li replied .
“That’s true, that’s why we’re drinking Spirit Fruit Liquor brewed by the Divine race . The ingredients used to make this liquor were all extremely rare, capable of rousing vitality within the drinker . There’s also a special fragrance coming from the liquor that makes it unforgettable . The brewing method has never been passed on to humanity ever before”
Gu Qing Shan raised his cup, nodded to Luo Bing Li, and drank the entire thing .
Looking at Gu Qing Shan, Luo Bing Li suddenly realized something .
They were currently inside the palace of the Divine race’s king, drinking the Divine race’s specialty liquor .
Regardless of the future, this was an unprecedented moment in human history .
Luo Bing Li pressed the cup in front of her lips and took a light sip .
A pure and fresh fragrance lingered at the tip of her tongue, an endlessly deep taste .
