Capítulo 1011: Chapter 166: Why Did I Tear Up That Letter?

“Gentlemen, you’ve waited long enough.”

Gu Shen leapt down from the Snow Cliff.

He knew that this time, his solitary meditation… had likely lasted several tens of hours.

During this period, these three Titled stayed here, waiting without moving an inch, guarding him on his path.

This kind of treatment, perhaps even the “S-level” in the North Continent, had never enjoyed?

After coming down, Gu Shen hurriedly paid his respects.

Rust Bone spoke, looking at Gu Shen with a gentle gaze: “In a Transcendent’s life, ‘enlightenment’ is rare. Even if you sat for another three days and nights, we would wait patiently.”

Gu Shen was flattered and said, “Thank you, all three of you.”

Rust Bone General seemed to think that his hours spent sitting on the Snow Cliff were due to enlightenment?

Gu Shen dared not explain further.

Most of that time was actually spent immersed in the spiritual vision of the black gemstone.

The latter part was the spiritual comprehension of Reverse Breathing.

“Mr. Xiao Gu, there’s no need for formality,” Aluer also smiled: “We came by Her Majesty’s order, doing these things is part of our duty.”

Though the Moon City Disaster Realm has been quiet for years.

But after all, this is a Disaster Realm, no one knows what might happen next.

Gu Shen thanked them once more.

Sincerely, he said: “What I did was to see the traces left by my teacher… to try at the Moon City Disaster Realm, if a miracle could happen…”

This choice was somewhat willful.

But, Gu Shen is S-level, maybe he can really see something?

The Sky-reaching Tree and Tian Tong were his teacher and senior sister, he had every reason to take one last look here.

Gu Shen’s voice was somewhat lonely, but his expression showed no regret.

He smiled and said: “It’s a pity, the miracle didn’t occur, and I don’t need to wait anymore, wasting everyone’s time.”

“Gu Shen, there’s one thing I need to remind you, if you choose to leave… The Fourth Legion will soon enter the Moon City Disaster Realm.”

Purple Rain said softly: “For a long time, this fortress will be sealed. No one can enter until the Black Hole is removed, and once the Disaster Realm is controlled… the rules and order here might change.”

Gu Shen understood what the Lord of the Legion meant by these words.

He would no longer be able to wait for that [door].

Once the Fourth Legion conquers the Moon City Disaster Realm, it would be even less likely.

Calmly settling his Heart Lake, Gu Shen bowed slightly and said quietly: “Please, then, escort me out of the Disaster Realm…”

After leaving the Moon City Fortress, Gu Shen returned to Central City.

He did not delay, heading straight for the Queen’s Castle.

The Lord of the Legion accompanied him.

The earlier conversation… lasted only a few dozen minutes before being interrupted, she could see that the dialogue between Her Majesty the Empress and Gu Shen was not yet finished.

Very soon, Gu Shen returned to the attic.

Under the guidance of the Lord of the Legion, he once again stepped into the Empress’s Divine Domain!

In the [Furnace] Divine Domain, countless snow flurries floated, perhaps because of comprehending “Great Cold”, Gu Shen did not feel the cold emanating from that Throne anymore…

He even felt a warmth of the same origin.

Perhaps, Her Majesty the Empress also practiced Mr. Gu Changzhi’s “Spring Breathing” to embark on the path of cultivation?

These are unanswerable questions.

As the Lord of the Legion closed the door.

Gu Shen took a deep breath, raising his head.

He stared directly at the snow-bounded Throne and the cold figure sitting upon it, casting aside unrelated thoughts.

On the way here, to be accurate, after calming the Heart Lake’s waves… Gu Shen had been contemplating how to proceed with the conversation after returning to the attic.

Those fragmented, unconnectable clues floated aimlessly in his mind.

He was ready to “talk” with the Empress again.

Gu Shen slowly advanced to the Throne’s front.

He did not pose a question.

Instead, he spoke calmly.

“It was I who killed Meng Xiao.”

Regarding this conversation between Gu Shen and the Empress.

There were indeed many who were interested. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel✶fire.net

At this moment, Purple Rain in the first-floor hall, and Lin Chou working in the study, along with… all those who knew the news, they were all speculating on what Gu Shen would say to Her Majesty, and what Her Majesty would say to Gu Shen.

These two questions seemed the same, but their meanings were different.

Almost none could have imagined, after Gu Shen returned to the attic… the conversation would begin in this manner.

The Empress sat on the Throne, propped on her elbow, watching the young man beneath the Throne’s steps.

She showed a very faint smile.

Unfortunately, under the snow’s veil, Gu Shen could not see this smile.

So Gu Shen repeated once more: “Your Majesty, I just said… I killed Meng Xiao.”

The Empress responded softly, asking with a smile: “So?”

“I severed his head.”

Gu Shen did not directly answer the Empress’s question.

“Then I burned his corpse, destroyed all the sealed items, and threw everything… into the Duolu River.”

These words seemed insignificant.

But quite the opposite.

This was Gu Shen’s carefully considered opening statement.

He confessed the secret of killing the Blessed Son, perhaps it’s not much of a secret, in many people’s minds, Meng Xiao was killed by Gu Shen… at least in the mind of the Holy Judge, it must be thought so.

It’s just that no one had evidence.

This confession could be considered a kind of evidence.

And the Empress’s response was a kind of tacit consent to Gu Shen’s confession.

With her presence, she naturally wouldn’t care about a dead person in Light City… Meng Xiao? Blessed Son? What does that even count as?

When Gu Shen paused again, the woman on the throne still spoke with a smile: “…You may continue.”

“That’s all there is.”

Gu Shen shrugged, “I killed him because I completed the third Breakthrough…”

“Your Majesty, such a thing as Breakthrough can’t be hidden from you, can it?”

Gu Shen knew his limits, no matter how much he restrained his spiritual aura, he could only hide it from fourth-order Transcendents, perhaps deceive some with titles… but for the Divine Throne, such concealment was meaningless.

Fearfully, when the Empress descended upon the Duolu River, a casual glance revealed his Breakthrough.

Revealed the Breakthrough.

In some sense, it equates to… revealing the truth of Meng Xiao’s case.

However, what Gu Shen wanted to ask was not this.

He sighed helplessly, sincerely saying: “Your Majesty, after saying so much, do you still not understand my true intent?”

I know you know all these things.

The important thing is.

How do you know? Did you see it, or guess it?

Gu Shen didn’t continue to speak, pushing this hidden meaning… this counts as a form of dignity, giving himself dignity, and also for the continuation of this conversation. If his biggest secret were to be exposed, it might face a great storm.

In the Divine Domain, silence fell.

The woman on the throne softly said: “Gu Shen, you burned Meng Xiao’s remains, burned the clothing, yet you still left something… didn’t you?”

Gu Shen opened his mouth, finally staying silent.

In the Pure Land World.

That jade ring still suppressed the Calamity Bracelet.

He was very certain… the Empress did not use spiritual power to invade his world.

Then how does she know?

There seems to be only one answer.

“So, you… saw everything?”

Gu Shen had nowhere to hide, he lit the wisp of fire between his eyebrows and did not cover the wisp of Netherworld aura mixed within the Chi Huo… although it was only a wisp, once revealed, Her Majesty the Empress could still feel it.

The woman on the throne, even after seeing the Netherworld Fire, remained calm, without any change.

“Whether I saw it or didn’t see it, it’s not important…”

The Empress extended her palm, fingers pointing down.

A clear and melodious sound, like wind chimes, fluttered in the Divine Domain.

The Beizhou Empress’s left hand was adorned with a silver finger chain, this chain covered the entire palm, and now each chain bead emitted a crisp sound as they swayed, sounding extremely pleasant.

“The truly important thing is, the two ‘Gospel Box Divine Artifacts’ that allow you to divine the future on you, were both by chance acquired after coming to the North Continent.”

Amidst the soft chime of the bells.

Gu Shen felt somewhat dazed.

Seeing the Empress reveal the chain, he realized the pendant, bracelet, and chain were one set, only he did not expect Her Majesty the Empress would refer to it as the ‘Gospel Box Divine Artifact’?”

“If you continue searching, one day, you will certainly find your way to me. This chain is the indispensable ‘main object’ of the three-piece set.”

The Empress calmly said: “The bracelet and pendant are secondary sub-objects. You already possess those two, you should know they are no longer complete… they all paid the price for ‘peeking into fate’.”

She sat on the throne, placing her hand, just lifted, back down.

The chain with the flurry of snow began to melt, and in this Divine Domain, the chain transformed into countless flying snowflakes, a vast void of frost.

This is why the Empress could grasp everything from the attic.

The world believed she created a great art no less than the ‘Divination Skill’… only all foresight in this world requires a price, so she confined the Divine Domain, unable to leave.

But… the truth was entirely different from what the world thought.

The one who holds fate, what need do they have for divination?

Wherever her gaze fell, fate would follow.

“Rest assured. Those two objects, you can keep them well…”

The Empress said: “I tried to take them back, also tried to hide the existence of the ‘chain’ from you, but such actions didn’t end well. So, now I’ve decided to let you retain this ‘divine artifact’ that should not belong to you.”

Gu Shen was momentarily stunned.

This sentence… what does it mean?

“Gu Shen, do you still not understand?”

The Empress’s calm voice echoed in the Divine Domain, momentarily like the sound of wind and snow, striking the soul.

“We have met millions of times before.”

“In this Divine Domain.”

“In innumerable shattered futures, in the past.”

Her eyes pierced through everything, falling on Gu Shen.

At this moment, Gu Shen seemed to have returned to the time he first stepped into the [Furnace], following the senses of his Heart Lake, he took out the pendant and bracelet.

Then he saw countless overlapping shadows, all falling upon the throne…

One fragmented scene after another bloomed, cracked, rewound, and reassembled on the throne.

Countless shadows merged into one.

The sole remaining Her Majesty the Empress stood up from the throne, softly asking: “Think about it, at the very beginning… why did I tear up that letter?”
