Capítulo 1169: Chapter 69: The Chosen One
Chapter 69
The dense fog on Black Snow Mountain was blown away by the wind, revealing two faces staring at each other.
The “traveler,” pierced by a spear and nailed to the stone wall, slowly lifted his head. His features had long been weathered by frost and snow, theoretically incapable of showing any expression, yet at this mont, that desolate, decayed face displayed a trace of complex emotions.
The traveler looked at Gu Shen, remaining silent without uttering a word.
Yet his expression seed to say.
“Why is it you again?”
He glanced at Gu Shen… If the number of curses this young man carried was “one” before, it was now probably “fifty.”
Gu Shen laughed and said, “It seems my guess was correct, the special ability to disperse source materials should originate from the Divine Throne of the Old World, there’s a certain ‘inevitable causation’ between the Heavenly Sheath Curse and Traveler’s Spark. As long as I am pierced by the sheath, I can reach the Dream you are in.”
He stood up and looked at the towering snowy mountain.
“This ti, don’t rush to detoxify .”
Gu Shen said calmly, “I won’t ‘die’ anyti soon, I want to talk to you more.”
“…”
The Tomb Ghost imprisoned in the traveler’s shell looked wistful.
He also wanted to chat more with Gu Shen.
Only this body felt like a shackle, firmly trapping him, unable to move, struggling even to lift a finger, let alone speak; the initial sentence seed rely a “coincidence.”
If this were a play.
Then he’d be the one forced to perform.
However, the bizarre part was… within this Dream, he didn’t feel any “discord.”
Discord implies that if soone is forcibly placed into a body not their own, they would feel uncomfortable, feel the wrong size, and reduced control precision over senses and features.
Yet the Tomb Ghost did not feel anything amiss.
Despite being unable to do anything, once “inserted,” he was struck by a terrifying thought.
“This should be my body.”
This aged, broken body, pierced by spears, shot through by arrows, wrecked and incomplete.
It should be “.”
After waking in the Gu family’s temporary base, Tomb Ghost’s mory was thoroughly erased… He forgot about his days roaming the East Continent as Xing Yun for research; all in his mind turned blank.
On a spiritual level, he was akin to a newborn baby.
Yet he was more miserable—fatherless, motherless, without a ho.
The only one he “knew” was Gu Shen.
“Do you recognize this?”
In this Dream World, Gu Shen used spiritual power to manifest a virtual ruler.
The silver ruler glead with a faint luster.
If the guy before him were truly the “traveler,” even possessing but a trace of spirit, he’d know about the past of the forr Netherworld King.
Gu Shen wanted to know if the traveler recognized the Truth Ruler.
Of course, he was more interested in whether the traveler knew about the devil within the ruler.
“…”
Silence.
Of course, silence.
The fellow stuck to the stone wall had been sparing with words from the first eting, thus this was the reaction Gu Shen expected.
Gu Shen was not in a hurry.
At least the traveler did not directly dispel the curse, dismissing the Dream, which, in his view, indicated a willingness to converse.
“This ruler is very important to .”
Gu Shen stated calmly, “If there is so causal assistance link between us, only by surviving in the real world can I save you ‘out’… I specifically returned to the Dream this ti to discuss this matter with you.”
“If we want ‘cooperation,’ we must be open and honest, right?”
He articulated, “The premise of our collaboration must be conducted under mutual honesty. If you recognize this ruler, then nod, and I will exchange it for information of equal value.”
After a montary standoff.
The traveler nodded, and having done so, ceased any movent, his deep, dark eyes fixed tightly on Gu Shen, apparently waiting for the follow-up information Gu Shen had to exchange.
Nodding!
It ans… he knows!
Gu Shen felt a wave of excitent, this was exceptionally crucial information, twenty years after Gu Changzhi passed away, he had almost lost contact with anyone who interacted with the Netherworld King.
Given the “relationship” between the traveler and the Netherworld King, both surely guarded against and plotted against each other.
Under such circumstances, the traveler knew of the ruler’s existence…
It seems when the Netherworld King ventured out back then, he also took out the Truth Ruler.
Now was the ti for Gu Shen to provide intelligence. He said quietly, “Then do you know… within this ruler, there is actually a mysterious and enigmatic soul body sealed?”
The Wind Snow trembled.
“?!”
Even without speaking aloud.
Gu Shen could sense the traveler’s curiosity and astonishnt at this mont.
“This is the intelligence I offer in exchange.”
Gu Shen slowly said, “I now suspect the forr Netherworld King hasn’t completely perished but sealed himself within this ruler through so special thod. It’s just I have no evidence, nor do I have the ans to subdue the spirit within the seal.”
“…”
The traveler’s brows furrowed deeply.
This is the reaction Gu Shen desired, for if he intends to unseal the Truth Ruler next, he must face the devil imprisoned within the cage.
