Chapter 804: Chapter 34: The Defense of the Umbrella (Part 4)_2
A slight pause.
“But…no price ans the highest price. You don’t need anything, just my nod, which ans what you want to take from is more than these.”
“…”
The Black Shadow on the Throne fell into silence.
He propped his chin, silently gazing at Gu Shen, sowhat curious about what else this young man might say.
“Interesting, your choice of words.”
Gu Shen slowly said, “You just said, ‘we’ will be crushed by the Storm. Although I escaped with eleven people…in the eyes of a Devil like you, they shouldn’t be considered worthy, right? If this were a transaction, then you clearly know that these people’s lives aren’t worth a weight on the scales.”
Gu Shen was very sensitive to every word from this guy.
He vaguely felt sothing.
The “you” in the mouth of the Black Shadow on the Throne didn’t refer to himself and this squad.
But…distant, during the Spiritual Link with Chu Ling.
Then that’s very frightening.
How does he know about the existence of “Chu Ling”?
Could it be that eting here at this mont ans all the information within his soul cannot be hidden from its scrutiny?
“…Continue.”
The Black Shadow on the Throne didn’t respond but signaled Gu Shen to continue.
Not responding, considered as tacit acknowledgnt.
Gu Shen glanced at the dark tall shadow and continued speaking, “Of course, these details aren’t that important. The most important is the ‘transaction’ itself…you actively sought out and revealed your identity to conduct this transaction…”
Gu Shen paused here.
The Black Shadow on the Throne frowned and asked, “Is there any problem with this?”
“Certainly.”
Gu Shen smiled, “An actively seeking ‘Devil’ is not a qualified ‘Devil’. You should know my character; in extre situations, I am a ‘gambler’. I can make ‘life-betting’ actions.”
After discovering the “abnormal wind pressure”…
Change the escape route, take the shortest path!
Strike with the Truth Ruler, hypnotizing the entire squad!
These things are gambling actions that only a madman can do, but Gu Shen does them effortlessly, and in his heart, there is a serene calm, without a ripple. He would rather make a mistake and be devoured by the Storm than do nothing and await death with eyes wide open.
A real “gambler” not only has the courage to “bet on life.”
But also holds the trump card to “turn defeat into victory!”
“So how could a gambler refuse the transaction to ‘stay alive’?”
Gu Shen sighed, “And so you appeared, proposing this transaction in the last five minutes of my life, but you were wrong too.”
“You shouldn’t give five minutes; this ti is too long.”
Gu Shen said quietly, “If I were you, I would only give the other ten seconds to listen to the transaction content. Without ti to think, moreover, without qualification to refuse… Under such circumstances, you can achieve anything you desire.”
The Black Shadow on the Throne reevaluated Gu Shen, appearing to be in thought.
Under the shroud of mist, his true expression couldn’t be seen.
But in reality, he was “shocked” by what Gu Shen had just said.
Though his body was cloaked in shadows, seeming like a devil, when it cos to the level of madness, the young man opposite seed to be more severe.
Gu Shen resembled more a real “Devil” than him.
“I decided to refuse your proposed transaction because I think you need this transaction more than I do.” Gu Shen slowed his pace of speech, “Let tell you why; now there are ninety seconds left. Do not interrupt, otherwise ‘our’ ti won’t suffice.”
“You beca relaxed from the start, indifferent to ti…but after a hundred seconds, your posture changed. While I was calculating ti, you were also calculating ti. It was evident that the passage of ti also pressured you.”
“What are you afraid of? Is it the failure of the transaction, or sothing else…Upon careful thought, it’s not difficult to find out that the essential result of transaction failure ans I die in the ‘Storm’. You are fully aware I don’t have any other power to counter the upcoming disaster, so what you’re afraid of is very obvious…”
“You are afraid of dying.”
Gu Shen stated, “Compared to the transaction failing, you are more afraid of my physical body being shredded by the Storm…as long as I am still alive, even if this transaction doesn’t go through, there might be more opportunities next ti. But once I’m dead, then the transaction is utterly closed. You desperately want my ‘physical body’, the ultimate goal of this transaction is to ‘plunder’ or ‘occupy’ my physical body. The premise is that this physical body is alive and usable.”
The person in the dark was truly speechless.
He wanted to say sothing.
Yet not a word ca out.
Not because he couldn’t refute…but because Gu Shen grasped timing too well; right now, the countdown in the “Spiritual World” has reached the last thirty seconds.
“Don’t be anxious.”
Gu Shen said calmly, “Here is the transaction I propose: You activate the ‘full power’ of the Truth Ruler to help combat this Storm. I will control these powers. In return, I will thank you for your help and promise you we will have another conversation opportunity in our next eting…”
Upon hearing this.
The Black Shadow on the Throne was shocked and surprised; he never expected this “transaction” to evolve into this form.
“You can choose to refuse, die together with , buried by the Storm of the ‘Old World’. In such a place, even five hundred years later, no one will find this Ruler.”
“But you have no choice because only if we live together will you have the possibility of the next transaction.”
Gu Shen calmly looked at him.
The shadow rose angrily.
His low voice echoed throughout the Spirit Space.
“Are you threatening ?!”
Gu Shen said nothing more.
He rely maintained a calm and indifferent gaze, returning all the coldness he once felt in the darkness to the long-waiting Devil.
Ti was down to the final ten seconds.
Gu Shen began counting down the last ten numbers to the Black Shadow on the Throne.
“Ten…Nine…”
The Storm in the reality world roared, as if it had descended into this epheral world.
An illusion of sothing tearing surfaced.
It seed like the barrier between soul and flesh.
Or sothing more solid…from the scenes reflected by this Pure Land space, the “Realm of Truth” had cracks appearing, the source of the Storm’s fury tearing everything apart, even the domain of the Truth Ruler was inevitably being slashed open.
“Five…Four…”
The Black Shadow on the Throne looked at the young man standing expressionlessly before him.
This was a countdown symbolizing the end of life and death.
Yet the young man seed not to care at all.
If this was a gamble…then the price of losing is genuinely having nothing.
Is there really such a “human” in this world?
The shadow clenched his fists, his body began trembling slightly.
“Three.”
Yet the counting voice of Gu Shen did not have the slightest tremor.
“Two.”
“One…”
The last sound hadn’t fallen.
The ga-ended.
“Get lost!”
An angry roar echoed with “One” in the Spiritual World, the darkness exploded, large blocks of light shattered subsequently, as the towering silhouette of the “Sinking Wood” beca fragnted, the entire Spirit Space eting concluded.
In the reality world.
Gu Shen opened his eyes; within his Spirit Sea, an unusually cold voice sounded.
“Only once, transaction complete.”
The Battle Golden Hoop used to restrain the ninth layer of spiritual power “shattered” with a crash, the power from the Ruler frantically poured into Gu Shen’s brow.
The silver-white Realm of Truth beca dazzling like a grand moon at this mont.
In an instant, it devoured the destructive force of the Storm’s edge!
Gu Shen issued his first command.
“Increase source energy burn efficiency—”
“1000%.”
