Chapter 2053 - 79: Was My Guess Right? (Part 2)

For the Tomb Ghost, it signified calamity.

"No... it’s not necessary."

Tomb Ghost declined Bai Xiu’s kindness. He extended a finger, pointing at the towering shadow ahead, and said guiltily, "Some things always have to come. Actually, that dream, I didn’t have it just once... I had long dreamed of the scene where you and I came here together. I just didn’t dare—I didn’t dare to say it outside..."

He could feel the murderous intent this Dream had towards him.

This Dream.

Most likely, it was the "endpoint" his soul could reach.

He still wanted to live, even if it was just a few more years, or a few more days, it would be a good thing.

"I’ve been hiding for many years."

Tomb Ghost took a deep breath and laughed, "You know? There’s always been another soul in my body. Many years ago, I met him. He would drag me to a Black Snow Mountain, where snow falls all year long, where there’s a withered mountain wall, and arrows piercing into my body."

"?!"

Bai Xiu’s pupils contracted.

This scene, he was familiar with.

The place Tomb Ghost spoke of... isn’t it the "Calamity Barrier" that he and Gu Shen escaped from?

Wait a minute.

The arrows that pierced through the traveler’s body at that time, Bai Xiu did not pay much attention to, but now with Tomb Ghost’s words, those broken, fragmented clues suddenly connected.

His Heart Lake thudded.

At this moment—

He vaguely guessed the truth about [Extinguishing Candle].

That divine bow had once appeared briefly and then disappeared without a trace. No matter how people searched, there was no more news.

Because the answer to [Extinguishing Candle] was never within the Five Continents.

"This matter... only Gu Shen knows...He told me, if I wanted to live, I should keep it a secret, not to tell anyone..."

Tomb Ghost’s voice grew more hoarse, and increasingly guilty.

"I’m sorry, this Dream must be important to you... But I really want to live..."

"So..."

"I’ve always been waiting for you to come find me..."

In the end, he didn’t even dare to look Bai Xiu in the eye.

"You did nothing wrong."

A calm voice broke his gloom.

Tomb Ghost looked up in disbelief, looking at the man in front of him.

"If I were you, I would do the same... Who doesn’t want to live a few more years?"

Bai Xiu’s expression was as usual, as gentle as ever: "Xing Yun, live on, this is not only Gu Shen’s wish, it is also what I want to say to you."

"Live... on..."

Tomb Ghost’s face suddenly turned pale, he gagged with an "ugh" sound, kneeled forward, his withered hands supporting in the snow, trembling continuously.

He breathed heavily as if trying to spit something out.

As if...

Trying to spit out a soul.

Bai Xiu knew he could do nothing, so he stood silently, just accompanying Xing Yun.

A few minutes later, those trembling arms gradually calmed down.

But the heavy look in Bai Xiu’s eyes did not dissipate.

...

...

"If you kill him now, I will also kill you."

Looking at Tomb Ghost returning to normal, Bai Xiu suddenly spoke.

The man with both hands supporting the ground remained silent for a moment after hearing these words.

After a moment.

"Tomb Ghost" raised his head, looking at Bai Xiu with indifference: "No one has ever dared to threaten me like this."

"Now someone does."

Bai Xiu’s face was expressionless: "No matter how powerful you were in your past life, it has nothing to do with this life. Tomb Ghost’s Transcendent realm has already fallen to the bottom. If you choose to completely erase his spirit, with one palm, you too will vanish into thin air."

"..."

The traveler’s face slightly twitched.

He had to admit, Bai Xiu was telling the truth.

"He’s destined to die, it’s just a matter of time."

The traveler frowned and said: "As my ’seed,’ his mission is to live on my behalf."

Tomb Ghost’s knowledge awakening was certainly not some gift from the heavens.

But his destined fate.

All this knowledge came from his "former self," the Traveler God Seat gambling the outcome in the Netherworld King’s contract.

To escape the punishment of the contract.

The traveler chose to abandon everything, separating spirit and body, letting the spirit come to the Five Continents to cultivate anew, and to bear the Netherworld King’s calamity curse on his behalf, while the body remained in a state of Silent Annihilation, waiting for a future "unification."

According to his plan.

This spirit seed, after growing in the Five Continents, would be entangled by a massive amount of calamity.

A "mortal" unable to achieve anything on the cultivation path could not possibly escape so much calamity...

And dying in the calamity was Tomb Ghost’s destiny.

Through this, the calamity within the Netherworld King’s wager would also be completely dissipated.

And at that time, it would be his time to "appear," relying on this remnant spirit, the Traveler God Seat just needed to find the body to return to his peak.

In this way.

Although it took some time.

But he not only found the coordinates of the Five Continents, but could also bring the Traveler Tribe to complete the most crucial descent!

"Now his mission has changed, he lives only for himself."

Bai Xiu said calmly: "If you kill him, then I will kill you."

"You can kill me, but what good would it do you?"

The Traveler God Seat sneered, "In my Spirit Sea are vast amounts of ancient knowledge that humans need... These things can help you quickly grasp the ’inheritance’ of the Starship Civilization. Besides, I know the frontier of the North Continent where you are in battle with my people. Killing me now would do you no good whatsoever."
