"Sorry, I refuse to trade."
With those words, Gu Shen’s vision went black, and his consciousness instantly flickered.
This was a "manifestation" of reaching the utmost ntal exhaustion, which certainly didn’t an Gu Shen would die like this... It was just the huge side effect caused by overusing the Ruler that made him lose consciousness.
Three draws of the bow.
One empty draw, two with arrows.
During the battle, the Truth Ruler had never materialized an object as powerful as [Extinguishing Candle], and this unprecedented indulgence caused Gu Shen to pay an enormous price.
His spirit, initially relatively full, was completely depleted in just over ten minutes.
If you want to gain sothing,
you must first give sothing up.
He shot out ng Xiao’s "Undead" identity and also burned out his own spirit.
The manifestation of unconsciousness was the Heart Lake plunging into darkness.
This is a blackness that can only be sensed with "spirit"...
Placed in the Pure Land, it was as if the sky suddenly darkened, and Tie Wu, who was commanding Hong Zhong to plow furrows, leaned on his hoe, looked up at the grey, boundless iron do, and for a mont was dazed.
He always felt the raindrops falling from the do were colder than ever before.
And in another world.
The darkness descended as well—
Within the "Pure Land" replicated by the Truth Ruler, that originally light and shadow interwoven space, after the Ruler’s owner’s consciousness completely fainted, light and shadow briefly began to blend, as if an invisible force pulled the whole world into the night.
And the devil sitting on the Throne montarily ceased its previous actions.
It raised its head to look at the iron do, no longer showing the "greedy" image of refusal, threat, and coercive persuasion, intent only on trading.
After the darkness descended.
The mist on its body also dissolved into the surrounding darkness...
It turned out it also had a face.
Only this face truly had no emotion, shrouded in mist, highlighting a visage of chilling aloofness to the extre, and it was indeed apt for Gu Shen to call it a "devil"...
Because this is not a face a human should possess.
Too perfect.
And too indifferent.
It had lost its composure more than once.
More than once it was furious.
Even... more than once it was embarrassed.
But if you really saw the "devil’s" face, you would know that all of this was false. For an existence like it, dwelling in darkness, the depths of its soul were pitch-black and silent, with no emotional fluctuations at all.
The devil sat on the Throne.
It propped its chin with its hand, like an old man in deep sleep. Its faint gaze penetrated the Ruler Space, looking towards the world beyond the [Gate], gradually becoming ethereal.
"It’s been... so long, indeed."
...
...
The waters of the Nether River surged and roared.
Just before Gu Shen’s consciousness drifted and was completely lost, he felt himself falling into another space.
[Gate] opened.
Countless waters rushed in, wildly surging.
He thought he was the only living being.
Until, swept into the [Gate] with the river, he realized he was wrong... In a flash, he collided with a firm body as strong as tal, and caught sight of the familiar crimson Source Armor.
However, his spiritual power was already exhausted.
The oil-exhausted and wick-burned Gu Shen couldn’t even lift his gaze.
He fell into the arms of that person.
He couldn’t even utter the words "Close the gate".
But his luck had always been good; so things, even without saying, were aided by rules... The opening of the [Gate] was a coincidence, destined not to last. After a great influx of river water, the [Gate] let out a low rumble.
In the distance, ng Xiao heard the ominous sound.
His heart jolted, knowing sothing went wrong.
But even with the Light Blessing spread out, he still couldn’t move an inch.
ng Xiao stared intently at the distant light, knowing the opening of the [Gate] seed only a coincidence. After Gu Shen crashed through the [Gate], the trendous impact of the Nether River’s waters began to show signs of reversal.
The [Gate] was about to close!
Eventually, the Nether Gate slowly closed.
At the last mont.
A swift light shot through, following Gu Shen, crashing into the gate, almost evaporating the river!
...
...
Mu Wanqiu stood silently behind the [Gate].
A few minutes ago, she had exhausted her patience and confird she was trapped in this labyrinth.
So she simply drew her knife and smashed the stone wall.
Little did she expect... that breaking the wall would cause such a violent anomaly, and what surprised her more was that these surging river waters had delivered such a living person into her arms.
Sword withdrawn, Mu Wanqiu stood, adjusting her Source Armor, ready to brace against the water flow and leave this maze.
The Spiritual Aura of a Transcendent flickered into her senses.
She was an extrely powerful Spiritual Transcendent, though this Nether River greatly suppressed the sensing range of a Transcendent, she could still detect abnormalities within nearly a hundred ters...
A hundred ters, in truth, was still too short.
Because when she sensed this discrepancy, Gu Shen had already crashed into the [Gate] and directly into her path!
If it wasn’t for their previous sparring at the training ground once before.
Mu Wanqiu might have already drawn her sword for a second strike.
"Gu Shen?"
Under the fierce impact of the river water, Mu Wanqiu took a slight step back, catching this not-so-heavy figure with one hand, frowning as she spoke, but Gu Shen was already unconscious.
At this mont.
Mu Wanqiu recalled the "blazing pillar of light" she had seen earlier in the mountains.
