Chapter 781 - : Conflict of Present And Future

Translator: La0o9  Editor: La0o9

Perhaps Gu Qing Shan was contemplating for a bit too long.

Outside the Grand Divine Palace, the Golden Flame Divinity slowly called out once again:

「 The materials for crafting the jade disk have been gathered, please give your orders, sire 」

Gu Qing Shan regained his senses.

He glanced at the frozen Luo Bing Li.

Luo Bing Li opened her eyes wide, stared straight at him as if she was asking about his plan.

“Just listen, he already can’t wait to find out the secret of the Heaven sword” she sent her voice.

“It’s fine, leave it to me”

Gu Qing Shan told her.

He clapped his hands.

Behind the Grand Divine Palace, 12 out of the 16 Divine Guards came out to the audience hall and knelt with one knee on the ground.

These Divine Guards were protectors of the inheritance vault, but after the Divine King was crowned, they would usually take direct orders from the Divine King.

「 Divine King, did you summon us? 」 the leading Divine Guard asked.

“Hm, I have a mission for you all” Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 Please give your orders, sire 」the Divine Guards spoke in unison.

“Guard the palace, without my permission, no one is allowed inside” Gu Qing Shan said.

「 Yes! 」the Divine Guards spoke.

They quickly came out and stood guard at the entrances of the Grand Divine Palace.

Gu Qing Shan nodded satisfyingly and loudly ordered from inside the palace: “Summon the God of Lies, I need him”

「 Yes! 」a response came from outside the palace.

Following that, the Divine Guards stood to either side to make way for the God of Lies into the palace.

「 Sire 」the God of Lies bowed.

“Hm, I have a mission for you” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

「 Please go ahead, sire 」

A few moments later, the God of Lies took his orders and left the Grand Divine Palace.

At this time, Gu Qing Shan declared: “You have all worked hard so far. Leave the materials at the entrance of the palace, then everyone is dismissed”

「 Understood 」the Divinities all answered.

They put the precious materials in front of the palace one by one and turned around to leave.

At this point, the Golden Flame Divinity’s voice came again:

「 Sire, why aren’t we allowed to enter the palace and see the method to forge the jade disk? 」

Leaning on his throne, Gu Qing Shan lazily replied: “This is a confidential matter. It is enough for this king to know, the rest of you don’t need to look”

As he said this, the other Divinities found that to be obvious.

——–matters directly related to the fate of humanity were obviously best left to the Divine King’s control.

But the Golden Flame Divinity couldn’t calm down at all.

When the secret to the Heaven sword lies so close in front of my eyes, how could I just watch as it is taken away?

Indeed, Gu Qing Shan had already been excluded from this, but the Divine King now suddenly became greedy and wanted to take the Heaven sword for himself.

——-this is the Heaven sword, an artifact powerful enough to kill Divinities. Wouldn’t it be much better kept in my hands?

Countless thoughts drifted in the Golden Flame Divinity’s mind.

He couldn’t help but try to step into the divine palace, but was immediately blocked and pushed back by the 12 Divine Guards.

Each Divine Guard was an elite of the Divine race, so the Golden Flame Divinity alone couldn’t go against them all.

The Golden Flame Divinity gritted his teeth: 「 Sire, I suggest that you don’t look into humanity’s secret yourself 」

“Ah? Why is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 Because this jade disk will bring you towards an unknown dangerous location. Only a Divinity from the future like myself would know how to react and act accordingly, no one else would be able to 」

Perhaps to convince the Divine King, he continued: 「 Sire, you must give up on this secret, otherwise, you would definitely lose your life——– this had already happened in the future not too far from now, I trust that you aren’t willing to give up your life so easily 」

Outside the palace, every Divinity froze.

This Divinity from the future knew a lot of what would happen in the future.

Gu Qing Shan fixed his posture, leaned back on the throne in a relaxed manner, and continued asking: “If I insist on looking into the secret, what danger would befall me?”

The Golden Flame Divinity replied: 「 The Lord of Desolation would come here directly, kill you and steal the Heaven sword 」

Gu Qing Shan said nothing.

He only smirked.

After a moment of silence outside the palace, another voice came.

「 Sire, he is lying 」

——–it was the God of Lies who said this.

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Which part was the lie?”

「 All of it 」the God of Lies replied.

The Divinities were shocked.

This Divinity from the future had the gall to deceive the Divine King!

How dare he do such a thing?

Could it be to take that secret for himself?

Gu Qing Shan chuckled lightly, but his tone became stern and furious: “Restrain him!”

「「「 Yes! 」」」

The 12 Divine Guards answered at once.

Luo Bing Li opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what she was witnessing.

Just… like that? The problem was already solved?

Am I dreaming?

She couldn’t help but send her voice: “Why not kill that bastard and get it over with?”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “That would show my impatience, not only would that be suspicious, it would also cause problems”

“What problem?” Luo Bing Li asked.

“Wait”

Gu Qing Shan only said that.

Luo Bing Li didn’t have to wait for long.

Faced with this situation, the Golden Flame Divinity suddenly took out a coin and crushed it.

「 Quickly help me! 」he shouted.

Ripples appeared in the void of space.

The figure of light arrived.

He appeared from the sky and landed in front of the Golden Flame Divinity, stopping the other Divinities: 「 You can’t detain him 」

The Divinities all stopped.

This figure of light was without a doubt very powerful. He was created from a unique technique of the Divinities, the crystallization of their intelligence and will, he couldn’t be fake, and he would never betray the Divine race.

It was because of this that the Divinities hesitated.

“What’s going on? Unless I’m wrong, you should be a part of our era, why are you protecting that Divinity from the future?” Gu Qing Shan questioned.

「 He did not purposely offend your Divine Majesty, he only wanted to take the sword for himself and use its power to change the future of our race 」the figure of light replied.

“He isn’t lying” the God of Lies declared.

Hearing that, the other Divinities relaxed a bit.

That’s true.

As a Divinity, unless they are very troubled, they wouldn’t offend the Divine King without a reason.

Gu Qing Shan seemed surprised: “His mission from the very start was very clear, that is to find that human sword cultivator and kill him”

The figure of light explained: 「 Stealing the Heaven sword is more important than to kill that human 」

“You mean that if he obtained the thing you call the ‘Heaven sword’, he could change the future?” Gu Qing Shan pressed on.

「 Indeed 」the figure of light replied.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: “Then I must ask him something. In his future, how many of the Divinities here were still alive?”

This was such a sudden question that Golden Flame Divinity was stunned, unable to say a word.

The Divinities were all cautious.

This was a direct question regarding their lives, why isn’t this one answering?

Could it be…

“Hurry up and speak!” one Divinity couldn’t help and shouted.

But the Golden Flame Divinity kept his mouth tightly shut, not saying a single word.

At this point, he truly regretted relying so much on his precognition advantage and informing Divine King of the events of the future.

——–so the Divine King was setting me up for this!

The Golden Flame Divinity felt a bit emotional.

As expected of a King awoken by his own fate, he was able to push me into a corner so easily!

Sure enough, what happened next was just as he expected.

The Divine King sighed: “God of Lies! At this moment, I order you to check if this king’s words are true or not!”

「 Understood 」 the God of Lies respectfully answered him.

“This Golden Flame Divinity once told me that among all the Divinities here, very few would be able to make it in the future, the others would all die without fail!”

Indeed, the majority of these Divinities were going to die.

This was something that already happened in history.

The Golden Flame Divinity once provided his knowledge of the future to exchange for Divine King’s unrestrained help.

——-help to find Gu Qing Shan.

The Divinities fell silent.

No one would be able to accept the fact that they would definitely die.

Gu Qing Shan shouted again: “God of Lies!”

The God of Lies dejectedly answered him: 「 His majesty isn’t lying…」

“Good, dispel your ability” Gu Qing Shan ordered.

「 Understood 」

For a short while, no one else said a single thing.

The figure of light wanted to say something, but it didn’t want to stir the emotions of the Divinities here.

Gu Qing Shan’s voice resounded.

He spoke in a low voice: “If we’re all going to die, why should I give this secret, this jade disk, this sword to him?”

His tone suddenly shifted and changed to what sounded like a wishful thought: “Why can’t destiny be changed, right here and now?”

The figure of light froze.

The Golden Flame Divinity froze.

Every Divinity was shocked and frozen!

Gu Qing Shan continued: “Indeed, if I obtain the Heaven sword, the fate of the Divine race would be changed right now, we don’t need to wait until most Divinities have died to change it”

He stood up from his throne, raised his voice, and loudly declared:

“Members of the Divine race, at this very moment, destiny had shown me a path itself——- tell me, do you want to take control of your destiny with me, or place your hope in the future!?”

「 Sire, I want to follow you and change my fate of death! 」 one Divinity loudly shouted.

「 I will follow his majesty! 」 another Divinity declared.

「 Sire, I will follow your steps! 」

「 Sire, I am your loyal servant! 」

「 We will follow your majesty! 」

Every Divinity declared.

——-in the face of death, their choice was terribly easy.

Gu Qing Shan waited until the Divinities’ voices have calmed down a bit before roaring furiously again: “Then who do you think should take that sword!?”

Responding to him, all the Divine Guards and Divinities answered at once: 「 TO YOUR MAJESTY!! 」

Gu Qing Shan loudly declared: “And so, my apologies to our brethren from the future, or any other time. Our fate should be held in our hands, the destiny of our deaths will be changed by our own hands”

“This secret, this sword; hidden inside the secret, all of it belongs to this king if anyone dares to covet it——-”

Rumble rumble!

The Divinities stepped up to the entrance of the Grand Divine Palace, standing by the Divine Guards’ side.

They all drew their weapons facing the figure of light and the Golden Flame Divinity with expressions of hatred.

What a bullshit future, what damned collective consciousness, compared to that, nothing is more important than our own lives.

The Heaven sword must be held within our Divine King’s hands!

The Divinities all thought the same.

Sensing what was happening at the entrance, Gu Qing Shan appeared pleased and slowly sat back down on the Divine Throne.

His tone maintained a sense of solemnity and dignity: “Indeed, this is the will of our Divine race, it would not be changed because of any future”

At the same time, he leaned and stretched his back, sending his voice to Luo Bing Li: “That’s dealt with”

Luo Bing Li was already stunned.

She was now literally frozen inside the block of ice, unable to make sense of what she just witnessed.

How did he…

Why did a few words turn the secret of the Heaven sword into his exclusive secret?

And he even caused discord between the Divine race.

A conflict between the present Divine race and future Divine race.

——-because most of the present Divinities were going to die, the conflict between them was one that couldn’t be resolved.

For the sake of their believed survival, the Divinities would not hesitate to eliminate the Golden Flame Divinity.

——–at least, if he continues to covet the Heaven sword.

Various thoughts crossed Luo Bing Li’s mind.

She already didn’t know what happened and what was going to happen.

But she knew one thing for sure.

She wouldn’t need to commit suicide to protect the secret today.
