Chapter 1738 - 390: Methods to Kill Qinglong

Mr. Bai Shu finished speaking.

Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu were both immersed in the shock brought by the truth of the "origin." For Transcendents who had never touched the Divine Seat, the amount of information in this statement was truly immense.

Gu Shen was also quite shocked in his heart.

This is very awkward.

He was nominally one of the "Seven Gods"... but because he had never started smelting the spark, he hadn’t touched the so-called "origin power" at all.

"You didn’t come to me today for this matter, did you?"

Bai Shu smiled slightly and said to Gu Shen, "You don’t seem to be in a hurry to smelt the ’Netherworld King’s Spark’ either."

"The smelting of the Netherworld King’s Spark can begin at any time."

Gu Shen chuckled awkwardly and said, "But from the last situation... I should better understand the sources of catastrophe hidden within the spark."

The last catastrophe explosion.

Gu Shen exerted great effort to suppress it!

The previous Netherworld King was no good; if he left anything in the Netherworld King’s Spark, it would definitely not be a "pleasant surprise," only a "frightening surprise."

"As you wish."

Bai Shu said lightly, "The matter of smelting the spark cannot be taken lightly. If you need to adjust your state, make sure to adjust it to the best... Of course, it’s best if you can raise your Transcendent realm to ’domain unity’ before thoroughly smelting the spark."

Because after smelting the spark, you will touch the origin!

Once domain unity is achieved, you can feel your "life origin."

As for the "authority origin," it’s right there, it can’t leave, it can’t escape.

"Got it."

Gu Shen nodded solemnly, then straightforwardly said, "Mr. Bai Shu, I brought Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu to see you this time, not just to seek guidance in cultivation..."

Both of them had long admired Mr. Bai Shu.

Being able to meet him and ask questions about cultivation is a great fortune.

But Gu Shen’s purpose was not this.

"Oh?"

Bai Shu still had a smile in his eyes: "Then why are you here?"

Gu Shen raised his head and spoke seriously, "I want to take down the Sky Divine Seat."

The Battle Domain fell into a long silence.

"..."

The smile in Bai Shu’s eyes became somewhat complex.

The expressions of the two behind Gu Shen were also quite subtle, even a bit awkward.

They had been brought into the Battle Domain by Gu Shen, completely unaware of what Gu Shen wanted to say to Mr. Bai Shu.

Only now did they understand.

Due to the distant goal and the difficulty in implementation... so Gu Shen’s words at this moment seemed absurd and ridiculous.

"I want that too."

After a moment, Bai Shu sighed and asked with a mixture of laughter and tears, "But is this a matter of wanting or not?"

Years ago, he and Lin Lei worked together to plan.

For the purpose of hunting a Divine Seat...

Looking around the highest seats, they finally set their sights on the Storm God’s Throne in the Southern Continent for a simple reason: among all, the Storm God’s Throne was the weakest, and the possibility of killing him was highest. But even so, this was still a long plan. How difficult it is to kill a Divine Seat?

Regarding Qinglong.

This candidate... had been out of consideration by Bai Shu and Lin Lei from the beginning.

The power of the Sky Divine Seat is stronger than the Storm and much stronger. Years ago, when Qinglong demanded the "Wine Spark," even the East Continent had to give it.

"If the current Battle God’s Throne were Gu Changzhi, he would be very glad to hear your words... though if he lived now, he might have done it already?"

Bai Shu said helplessly: "Of course, I’m also glad. But I must tell you the regrettable news, the possibility of killing Qinglong is very low, even if it’s two against one."

Gu Shen raised an eyebrow and said: "What if it’s three against one?"

Bai Shu fell silent immediately.

He suddenly understood Gu Shen’s meaning.

"I can now perform a certain degree of smelting on the ’Netherworld King’s Spark.’

Gu Shen took a deep breath and said, "If I activate the ’Netherfire Authority,’ even if I can’t become a Divine Seat quickly, I will have power exceeding a titled status."

Bai Shu stared at Gu Shen.

His gaze was filled with appreciation, but more with sadness.

"Do you remember my first words to you?"

Bai Shu shook his head.

"Only by becoming a Divine Seat can you fully touch the ’origin.’ In this Divine War, the role a not fully matured authority holder can play is very small. The highest floor of the Source Tower is the Sky Divine Domain. Even if you are qualified to reach the top, so what? Without the origin, you will be instantly killed, becoming a burden."

Gu Shen fell silent.

"This Divine War does not need participants below ’God.’ If you want to join, you must become the true ’Netherworld King,’ wielding the ’Blazing Fire Origin’ and ’Authority Origin.’

Bai Shu continued: "Even so, you just have the qualification to participate. If Qinglong welcomes the battle in the Sky Divine Domain, even if it’s three against one, it may not produce results. Killing a Divine Seat in a Divine Domain... is extremely difficult. If Di Jiu had not actively gone to the cemetery, even a Divine Seat of his power would not have died like that."

Gu Shen asked, "Then if... Qinglong could be made to leave the Sky Divine Domain?"

"If that’s the case, the scene still matters."

Bai Shu pondered for a moment, still shook his head: "If Qinglong entered my Divine Domain, perhaps I have a chance to win, but if he solely wants to flee, I’m not confident in keeping him. If this Divine War takes place in the Ice Sea, the Old World, such chaotic places, the final result is unforeseeable. It’s likely a conclusion may be reached, but life and death would not be resolved."

It’s extremely difficult for one Divine Throne to kill another.

If one side is determined to flee, it’s truly hard for the other to complete the kill.

This is why, despite the Storm God’s Throne heading to Ice Sea for so long, Lin Lei and Bai Shu haven’t acted rashly.

Because once you act, if you don’t complete the kill, you will face the other’s fierce revenge!

"Then..."

Gu Shen added and then asked, "What if this Divine War happens in the Old World, with a three-against-one scenario?"

This question plunged Bai Shu into deep thought.

"Perhaps... in this case, there might really be an opportunity."

Bai Shu murmured softly, "If you’re participating with two ’Origin Powers’, then the outcome wouldn’t leave much suspense."

"I understand."

Gu Shen merely nodded and said, "Then what if in this battle, besides one Quasi-God who just encountered the spark, and two Divine Thrones who fully melted the spark, there’s additional help?"

"Additional help?"

Bai Shu seemed to hear a joke, slowly shaking his head: "In my view, all help is meaningless. In such a high-level battle, even the Quasi-God might not be of use."

"Although Divine Thrones are made of flesh, they aren’t immortal and invincible."

Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, saying, "What makes humans human is their flaws and weaknesses... fixable ones are ’flaws’, those unfixable are ’weaknesses’.

"That’s quite true."

Bai Shu said calmly, "But even if a Divine Throne’s weaknesses are exposed to the mortal view, what difference does it make?"

"Heavenly Sheath Weapon can shatter all origin matters."

Gu Shen said: "Six years have passed, and now Gu’s Base has produced many Heavenly Sheath Weapons."

"There is no significance."

Bai Shu said: "Heavenly Sheath Weapon simply cannot shatter the Divine Domain; as long as Qinglong has a single thought, no matter how many Heavenly Sheath Weapons, as long as they are within his domain’s range, they will be obliterated and shattered... the only impact is consuming a portion of his origin matter, a very small portion that has no real effect on the battle."

He already knew the purpose of Gu Shen’s visit here.

Even though the recent words sounded absurd and amusing.

But dealing with Qinglong seriously.

Gu Shen is serious.

Unfortunately, in Bai Shu’s view, wanting to kill this Sky Divine Throne... currently seems a bit of a pipe dream.

In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and plots lose their meaning.

Weaknesses, flaws, when all your attacks can’t harm them even slightly...

Such weaknesses, can you still call them weaknesses?

The best method Bai Shu can see now is actually Gu Shen completing "domain unification" and then comprehending the Netherworld King’s Spark, wielding two authority origins!

At that time, Gu Shen can appear as a peak Netherworld King, at the highest seat!

He and Lin Lei move to kill together!

Three against one—

Even if Qinglong hides in the apex domain of Source Tower, facing this siege, he must die!

Even so, one must consider the reactions of Light and the Storm at that time...

If the Storm God’s Throne backstabs, then the result of this Divine War could vary significantly, due to every participant in this battle being an unseeable taboo existence, beyond the reach of Divination Skill.

For such a grand scale Divine War, the considerations are indeed too many.

Pull one thread and affect the entire body.

"I agree with your statement, everyone has weaknesses, even Divine Thrones are no exception."

Bai Shu comforted, "But the chance of completing ’god-killing’ based on such slight weaknesses is close to zero. To kill Qinglong would require many conditions, crucially, he must ’make a mistake’. His weaknesses must be exposed to those who can harm him. For example, me, or Lin Lei."

Gu Shen took a deep breath and asked the final question: "If in an extreme situation without Divine Domain protection... can Heavenly Sheath Weapons, or similar attacks, injure him?"

"If that’s the case, then there is an opportunity."

Bai Shu said meaningfully: "But how could he possibly offer such an opportunity?"

Divine Thrones release domains with just a thought.

And the spiritual power of Divine Thrones far exceeds ordinary beings, it may only take 0.01 milliseconds, releasing the domain equals an instant, nearly zero.

To inflict a heavy blow while a Divine Throne is unaware of danger.

The likelihood of completing such an act is also close to zero.

"...Understood."

Gu Shen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He changed to a smiling face, smiling and saying: "I was simply speaking, don’t take it to heart."

"Is that so?"

Bai Shu also smiled: "You made a special trip to Qingzhong, doesn’t seem like just speaking casually. I’m also hoping you can make plans sufficient to kill Qinglong, only the timing in all aspects isn’t mature now, maybe waiting a bit longer, for you to grow stronger, we might truly have such an opportunity."

Gu Shen smiled helplessly, preparing to say goodbye and leave.

"Xiao Gu."

Bai Shu called out to him solemnly, saying: "If one day Qinglong truly leaves the Divine Domain, it may not be good news... to kill a Divine Throne involves the risk of being killed by this Divine Throne."
