Chapter 1029: Chapter 3: What Even Gods Cannot Do (Part 3)
This time, although there was no verbal thanks given.
But Bai Shu’s reminder was deeply imprinted in the Heart Lake.
Seeing this, Bai Shu’s eyes once again showed a look of relief.
He had once transformed into a shadow, following Gu Shen for a long time, during which time Gu Shen had not yet risen, nor shown any divine signs related to the recognition of “Netherworld Fire.”
But even then, Bai Shu knew that this young man was not destined for an ordinary future…
Because the mindset of this young man was truly rare.
This was what he admired most.
“Alright, no need for formalities.”
Bai Shu waved his sleeve, a gentle breeze swept through the Qingzhong Cemetery, dispersing the mist surrounding the Inner Mausoleum, and the Golden Divine Domain parted to either side.
“Follow me into the mausoleum… I will take you to meet someone.”
Gu Shen and Chu Ling exchanged a glance.
The Inner Mausoleum… there’s someone there?
The entire array patterns of Qingzhong were set up by Master Qianye, and Gu Shen and Chu Ling were the “Tomb Guardians” who commanded all the array patterns. In this Inner Mausoleum, they did not sense an ounce of Extraordinary Aura.
Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, the two followed Bai Shu into the Inner Mausoleum.
The old mountain that was crushed during the Divine War has been restored to its original state under the repair of the [Reverse Flow], and is now colored with a vibrant golden tint, with the golden flowers on the high mountains of the Inner Mausoleum swaying in the wind, sending waves of fragrance.
The Inner Mausoleum has now become a “place full of vitality”!
Walking here, even a simple breath can make one feel refreshed and delighted.
And the originally cold and narrow mountain gate has been widened a lot by Bai Shu.
Entering the mountain tomb, the scenery changes, grass and warm breeze coming towards them, making Gu Shen feel as if he has arrived at Mr. Gu Changzhi’s “Four Seasons Wilderness,” and what surprised him the most was that the old tree previously pressed at the array heart has grown luxuriant branches and leaves…
“Though I do not understand array patterns, I now possess a ‘Divine Domain.’
Bai Shu’s voice was gentle, he said: “In the Qing Tomb Inner Mausoleum, I let everything linger at the moment of most exuberant vitality.”
He paused slightly, speaking hoarsely, “Even if I have become a god, possessing Great Success in [Reverse Flow] and the ‘Power of Battle Fire,’ there are still things that cannot be done…”
In the very center of this wilderness lies a sealed coffin.
The coffin is entwined with purple vines.
Gu Shen recognized at a glance, these purple vines came from his teacher’s ability [Holy Wood]…
He knew who was lying inside. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
The tall lady who gave him the Truth Ruler.
The one… with a dangerous sequence of “A-level” out-of-control.
Approaching the coffin, as the grass leaves fluttered, a serene sleeping face was revealed.
The tall lady lay in the coffin, sleeping peacefully, her eyes closed, hands crossed on her lower abdomen. On the soft silk fabric of her dress, radiating with the divine glory of [Reverse Flow].
Bai Shu can let the time of Qingzhong Cemetery flow backward endlessly.
He can let every old tree here retreat from leaf filled to bare, little by little withdrawing back into the soil, he can let every drop of water sinking into the soil return to the Skytop, disperse into mist.
But he cannot rewind the Spirit Sea of “A-009.”
The moment she lost control, the order completely shattered—
She is an irretrievable “deceased,” still alive now only because she continues to breathe.
According to the safety assessment standards of the Federation Security Committee, A-009 has long been considered dead, as all out-of-control individuals, at the moment their Spirit Sea becomes chaotic, can be marked as “the deceased.”
Bai Shu also came before the coffin.
At that moment, no divine light enveloped him, the blessing of the Battle Fire prevailed in the mountain tomb, landing on everything except for himself.
He was just an ordinary “mortal.”
Gu Shen and Chu Ling looked at this man, whose expression was grim, recalling the early life experiences of this Bai Family ancestor.
Invincible in Changye, then ended his own life in obscurity.
Thereafter, he vanished without a trace for decades.
No one knew that Bai Shu was still alive, and no one knew where Bai Shu had gone.
“Her name is ‘Li Rou,’ Li as in dawn, Rou as in gentle.”
Bai Shu gently extended his fingertip, he did not touch the woman in the coffin, only gathered the divine power of the Battle Fire, attempting to activate [Reverse Flow]. Each time he came to the coffin, he would attempt it once.
The laughable thing is.
A divine miracle never happens to a god.
This time… was no exception.
[Reverse Flow] has already reached its limit on A-009, her Spirit Sea came infinitely close to the moment before the chaotic outburst, but as soon as [Reverse Flow] ended, countless spirits and messages in her mind would tear apart directly and shatter.
Instantly, utterly disordered.
Bai Shu’s [Reverse Flow] cannot accomplish tasks beyond the Extraordinary Iron Law.
For instance, to let a deceased rise again, to become alive.
Or to bestow a new and intact order to an “out-of-control.”
The Divine Throne is not the creator.
They are almost “omnipotent,” yet there are things that cannot be accomplished.
“All these years, I’ve been hiding underground, never daring to face the sun.”
“The Bai Family knew I wasn’t dead, but they couldn’t find me…”
“Over time, they believed I truly died.”
“Who else in this world, after tasting the flavor infinitely close to the Divine Throne, can willingly hide underground and wait for death…”
Bai Shu spoke softly, ridiculing himself, “They never thought I could.”
“If it weren’t for Zhou Jiren, I would never have emerged from the desolate land of Qing River.”
“I couldn’t face the ‘cowardice’ in my heart, not daring to try grabbing ‘hope’ once again.”
He looked at the coffin, speaking with melancholy, muttering, “Over twenty years ago, because of my ‘cowardice,’ I once caused the death of the woman who trusted me the most.”
Gu Shen couldn’t help but speak.
He asked: “Senior Bai Shu… what happened more than twenty years ago?”
