Chapter 2054 - 79: Am I Right? (3)

"I am a person who acts on impulse."

Bai Xiu said lightly, "I only do what I believe is right, so what you’re saying has no meaning to me. I stand by my words: if you kill him, then I will kill you."

The face of the Traveler God Seat looked grim.

Negotiations failed again.

He instinctively used the word "again."

Due to his shattered spirit, he has always been observing this world through the eyes of the Tomb Ghost. Before the Deep Sea took over his true body’s autonomy, he had interacted with Gu Shen more than once through the Black Snow Mountain Dream, and his negotiations had always failed back then.

There was no other way. When he chose to abandon his physical body and sever his spirit, he had already fallen from the Divine Altar.

If he wants to ascend to the Divine Position again, he must bear humiliation and endure burdens.

"You... there’s no need for this."

Suppressing his anger, the Traveler God Seat said in a deep voice, "We can negotiate properly. Whatever you want, I can give you."

"What’s left for me from someone who has lost everything, even his soul?"

Bai Xiu teased with a smile, "Besides... I want ’Extinguishing Candle,’ would you give it to me?"

"..."

The Traveler God Seat fell silent.

"If I’m not mistaken, ’Extinguishing Candle’ has always been in your possession. It’s your last hope for ’rising again.’ You naturally wouldn’t hand it to me."

Upon Bai Xiu’s words,

the Traveler God Seat’s expression changed dramatically.

"What are you saying?"

"I have always been curious why such a famous weapon as ’Extinguishing Candle’ would disappear for so long... until just now the Tomb Ghost enlightened me. This divine bow is not an unowned object; it already has its master. But why has its master had no ’fame’ for so many years?"

Bai Xiu said calmly, "Because all these years, the master of ’Extinguishing Candle’ has been dead."

"As the highest quality divine artifact forged by the Lord of Melting Iron, anyone who obtains it would accomplish great feats—unless... the one who obtained it is a ’dead man.’

"The Traveler Tribe has never known the coordinates of the Five Continents. It was not until the Duolu River mission that they had their first ’contact’ with the Five Continents. After that mission, your ’Crown Bearer’ at all costs crossed the Snowfield to reach the Tianqiao Region, even if it meant wasting a fire seed. No matter how you look at it, this was an extremely foolish action. But if you think about it from another perspective—"

"Someone within the Traveler Tribe already knew the coordinates of the Five Continents."

"And that person... is their ’king.’

"The king in the Five Continents never sent back any news. So they frantically searched for the ’king,’ until the Duolu River opened the Space Gate, and the Crown Bearer seized the last opportunity to come to the Five Continents to deliver the fire seed. They were certain you would be reborn within the Five Continents, and at that time the sent ’fire seed’ would become your crowned True God’s Seat."

Bai Xiu paused, then said, "Then, back to the beginning. If you knew the coordinates of the Five Continents, why didn’t you tell them from the start? Is it because you knew your ’end was near,’ and the Traveler’s attack had no chance of success? Or is it because... you actually don’t know the specific coordinates of the Five Continents; you can only rely on a sense of destiny?"

The pupils of the Traveler God Seat had already contracted into a thin line.

"I think it’s the latter."

"Gu Shen once told me that ’Extinguishing Candle’ comes with a special domain named ’Achilles’ Heel.’ Through this domain, you personally separated your soul and body, but the next question is, the separated spirit needs a vessel, and you need to find the Five Continents..."

"Six hundred years ago, a giant rock that could disperse Extraordinary Essence fell from the sky and landed in the Tundra."

"Six hundred years later, people named it ’Heavenly Sheath.’"

"The characteristics of the Heavenly Sheath are very similar to ’Extinguishing Candle.’ The Gu Family’s current research on Heavenly Sheath Weapons triggers a violent resonance of Heavenly Sheath fragments within a defined range through the ’Storm Equation’... relying on this trait, you chose to wager your spirit in a gamble."

"You gave the fire seed to the tribe’s most trusted ’Crown Bearer.’ Relying on the power of the fire seed, the Crown Bearer shot your soul out through the ’Extinguishing Candle’ bow."

"Finally, without a doubt... you won the bet, but the problem is that both the fire seed and ’Extinguishing Candle’ are not in your hands. Even if you were resurrected, you could not rise quickly."

"So, there was the Crown Bearer’s arrival."

Bai Xiu lowered his eyes, falling into reflection, "If I remember correctly, that descent of the Crown Bearer resulted in the Heavenly Sheath’s collapse, and the repair work for the Tundra Prison took more than half a year..."

"So ’Extinguishing Candle,’ is it hidden in the Stone Sword?"

He turned back, smiling softly, "That’s actually a very nice place. Although watched by countless pairs of eyes, no one would really ’check’ it. This time, you are betting that no one dares to touch the Heavenly Sheath; no one dares to take that apart and see what’s inside."

At this moment, the traveler’s expression was as pale as a sheet.

Bai Xiu calmed his smile and seriously asked, "Tomb Ghost, am I right?"
