Chapter 2055 - 80: Drifting South

"Tomb Ghost, am I right?"

After these words fell, the body that originally belonged to the Tomb Ghost shivered slightly!

The eyes of the Traveler God Seat flashed with a hint of surprise.

The Tomb Ghost forcibly suppressed his own will, controlling this body’s head, and nodded vigorously!

The Traveler’s expression was as dark as water.

"Very good. Although your consciousness is gradually awakening, gradually occupying his body, he is still alive now."

Bai Xiu said, "Awakening now is not a good time, you are not my match."

Cold sweat formed on the traveler’s forehead.

Of course, he knew that awakening now was not the right time.

But the Tomb Ghost chose this moment to come to the "Sky Sheath Core Area." The Traveler’s spirit has fully revived, and under the influence of the Sky Sheath Core Area’s wandering fragments, the influence of Extraordinary Essence is reduced to the minimum. According to the original plan, this was an extremely advantageous environment for himself! There was no place more suitable for awakening than here!

After his revival, he could extract [Extinguishing Candle] from the Sky Sheath and then reclaim his fire source!

But...

This plan is now forcibly interrupted.

Because the man standing in front of him is the top person under the Five Continents Divine Throne!

"Calculating fate, predicting heaven’s secrets, you were ultimately one step short in the game."

Bai Xiu calmly said, "To kill you, I only need a moment."

He wasn’t joking.

The Thunder Realm Domain had already descended, amidst the howling winds mixed with slight thunderous explosions!

"Rumble..."

Above the Tundra Prison, a large patch of dark clouds enveloped the sky, interspersed with thick purple lightning twisting like a dragon.

"What... do you want?"

The traveler was now beyond cold sweat on his forehead; along with the descent of the Thunder Realm Domain, his back was drenched with sweat. He knew the young man standing in front of him was not a simple character. Bai Xiu’s talent, even among the Traveler Tribe, was extraordinarily unique. He just lacked a suitable fire source for fusion, which kept him stuck at this final step!

Five years ago, Bai Xiu had already defeated all titled opponents.

In these past five years, he remained blocked before the heavenly chasm.

Yet rumors spread during the Three Continents Alliance, that Bai Xiu already comprehended the "origin," becoming on par with the Northern Continent Three Generals. The truth of this information has not been verified because no super strong individuals in the "Origin Realm" appeared on the Northern Gu Castle Battlefield. However, Meng Xizhou overseeing Xiyin City and having Bai Xiu stationed at the initial number indirectly confirmed everyone’s speculation.

It must be known that the Traveler Tribe has two "origin" ready to join the battle at any time!

If Bai Xiu hadn’t the "origin" power, Meng Xizhou’s Goddess wouldn’t allow him to be stationed in such a crucial, important place.

"I want [Extinguishing Candle]."

Bai Xiu calmly said, "Of course, this isn’t me asking you for it. From the moment I perceived the truth, [Extinguishing Candle] was already mine."

"???"

The traveler’s forehead veins bulged.

Birds of a feather flock together; if he hadn’t met Gu Shen, Bai Xiu’s character would never utter such nearly "rogue-like" words.

"I also want you to ’live’."

Bai Xiu continued, "As I just said, I can kill you in an instant, but I haven’t done so... because I hope you live to reach the Gu Castle Battlefield. Compared to me, compared to the Tomb Ghost, the foe you should resolve is [Deep Sea]. In your revival journey, reclaiming the Silent Annihilation’s body is also a crucial step, right?"

The traveler fell silent, but it was obvious that his eyes were somewhat shaken.

Because Bai Xiu was too right.

Through the Tomb Ghost’s perspective, he saw many events happening in this world; the more he saw, the more terrified he felt.

When he invested this spirit into the Five Continents back then, he never expected that this land seen as a "oasis," a beautiful homeland, would undergo so much turmoil!

He never expected that [Deep Sea] would lay waste to his home!

"Deep Sea wants to use your awakening to kill the Tomb Ghost and then use the Alliance’s hand to kill you."

Bai Xiu said expressionlessly, "I guarantee, no matter when you awaken, as long as you want to seize the fire source, you’ll face the Alliance’s relentless assault, even Meng Xizhou will act personally."

The traveler knew of "Meng Xizhou."

This woman was the latest to ascend to the Light God’s Seat of the Five Continents!

Due to the short cultivation time, this Meng Xizhou’s strength didn’t match his own peak period.

Yet even so, this newly appointed God Seat wasn’t someone he could confront now!

"You’re not killing me?"

The traveler furrowed his brow; years ago, the deal with the Netherworld King taught him about the treacherous nature of humans.

The Five Continents, this "new world," had fertile lands and ample resources.

But the people here were wicked beyond measure!

He couldn’t possibly trust anyone here again, nor could he believe that Bai Xiu keeping him alive now was due to mercy.

"Why should I kill you? The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Bai Xiu said, "Your highest goal is to lead the Traveler Tribe back to the Five Continents, but completing this task has a prerequisite condition... at the very least, you must first be the king of the Traveler Tribe, isn’t that so?"

This sentence hit the traveler’s heart.

"..."

He clenched his teeth tightly, silently tensing up his fists.

Yes.

Compared to leading the tribe to revival, there’s an even more important issue!

He now... is no longer "himself"!
