Chapter 381 Conversation with the God King of Jin
Gu Ce nodded; he understood what the man in the magnificent royal robes was saying.
"You don't seem too surprised." The man in the magnificent royal robe looked at Gu Ce. "Everything didn't surprise you too much? Although I observed you from afar before, I didn't notice anything else... But now I know that you are not a being of my Jin world."
"Indeed, are you going to kill me?" Gu Ce asked.
The man in the magnificent royal robes was taken aback by Gu Ce's words. He looked at Gu Ce with some confusion and then said something else.
"No need to be wary, no need to worry," the man in the magnificent royal robe said, both amused and exasperated. "I'll explain it to you in detail, and you'll understand."
A hint of reminiscence flickered in the eyes of the man in the magnificent royal robes. "It was a long, long time ago. I chose a path that seemed certain to lead to my death, so before I set off, I created Wu Qi Lou in the Jin World and left behind this titled mission. If I failed, perhaps I would still have a chance to turn things around."
"I left."
"But a virtual consciousness remains here. This virtual consciousness possesses my memories and thoughts, but it cannot be considered a true life."
"Of course—I am this virtual consciousness, and subconsciously I still believe that I am the God King."
"I don't know what dangers the God-King went through after he left, since I couldn't contact him," the man in the magnificent royal robes sighed. "But through my understanding of the Jin world, I learned one day that the God-King had fallen."
"The Wuqi Tower has nine floors, and this ninth floor can connect to the core of the universe's origin in the entire Jin world," said the man in the magnificent royal robe. "I often go to the core of the Jin world's origin. With the fall of the God King, the core of the Jin world's origin naturally underwent a major change."
The man in the magnificent royal robe looked at Gu Ce: "Furthermore, the reason I'm certain you're not a life form in my Jin world is because—"
"When you entered this ninth level, the core of the universe that this ninth level connects to did not recognize you," said the man in the magnificent royal robe. "If you were a being from the world of Jin, you would be a child of this world, and would naturally be recognized. Moreover, you would be extremely loyal to the God-King and willing to die for him."
Gu Ce nodded.
The world of Jin is the inner universe of the God King. The life born from the inner universe, just like the life created by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and Luo Feng's Nether Sea avatar, is absolutely loyal to its creator.
Life forms born from the two great sacred universes are naturally loyal to their sacred ancestors.
On the contrary, life born from such a massive celestial body as the Primordial Universe, even the Ancestral God Cult, is not so loyal to the will of the Primordial Universe. Moreover, countless beings born from the Primordial Universe have thought of possessing the Primordial Universe, their "mother."
"I will not harm you. You have gained so much, and I will not take it back. You only need to make a vow," the man in the magnificent royal robe said with a soft laugh. "When you become a God-King in the future, you must do your best to kill the other three peak beings."
Gu Ce smiled too.
The God-King of the Kingdom of Slaughter and Devouring?
In Gu Ce's hand appeared a rhombus-shaped token. The token was entirely golden, and on the back was engraved the character "Jin" in the language of the Origin Continent. This was the token that Zuo Shan Ke had given to Gu Ce.
"Who are you? This is...?" The man in the magnificent royal robe was startled and immediately asked.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is that I hold this token," Gu Ce said.
"That's true." The man in the magnificent royal robes was taken aback at first, then gave a wry smile.
Gu Ce recalled his initial conversation with the Mountain Hermit—
Gu Ce: "Your Majesty, the Divine King of Jin, would you like to make a deal?"
The Mountain-Sitting Guest: "Should I address you as Gu Ce, or Lord of the Void Realm... or perhaps, His Majesty the King of Wu?"
Gu Ce: "What do you mean?"
The Mountain-Sitting Guest: "You bear the mark of the King of Wu, don't you know that? You are already the King of Wu, bearing the inheritance of the entire Wu Kingdom, but the Wu Kingdom had already been in ruins for who knows how long before I fell."
The Mountain Guest said, "Back then, the Wu Kingdom had more enemies than the Jin Kingdom. Now that you've become the King of Wu, although those powerful enemies of Wu might not look down on you, those weaker enemies will have a hard time when they see you."
Gu Ce: "...I want to know more about the Origin Continent, and your treasure-refining heritage."
Sitting Mountain Guest: "Alright, I only want the mechanical inheritance of the Wu Kingdom. In addition, I want you to promise me one thing. When we arrive at the Origin Continent in the future, I hope you can help me and Luo Feng to rebuild the Jin Kingdom and take revenge on the Shi Kingdom... In return, if you want to rebuild the Wu Kingdom, I will do my best to help you, or I will help you refine any treasures within my power free of charge."
Gu Ce: "Okay."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest: "This is information about some of Wu's enemies... This is information about the Origin Continent... This is the inheritance of treasure refining."
Gu Ce: "If nothing unexpected happens, your corpse will be drawn to the Cosmic Sea. The primordial cosmic will will use it to combat the World Beast Cataclysm. Do you have any tokens to prove your identity within the universe inside you?"
The Mountain-Sitting Guest: "How do you know all this! The Wu Kingdom's heritage... Yes, this is my token, it has a trace of a God-King's aura, which can prove my identity. I left a consciousness in the Wuqi Tower in the Jin World. Go find him, and he will do his best to help you in the Jin World. Of course, there's also Luo Feng."
The Mountain Guest knew that his only two hopes for revenge were Gu Ce and Luo Feng. Although Luo Feng was extremely talented, Gu Ce's performance was still superior. Moreover, Gu Ce was the successor of the Wu Kingdom and was not his enemy. In fact, the people of the Food Kingdom had some conflicts with the Wu Kingdom, but the Wu Kingdom was more powerful back then.
After the conversation ended, Gu Ce and the Mountain Guest parted ways, as if nothing had happened. Only the primordial cosmic will that resided there sensed that something had occurred that was beyond its control, but it was helpless and anxiously paced around.
"Are you his disciple?" The man in the magnificent royal robe remained silent for a long time before finally asking.
Gu Ce knew who the man in the magnificent royal robes was referring to: the Divine King of Jin, or perhaps, the reincarnated Mountain Hermit.
"No." Gu Ce immediately shook his head. "The one outside is the one."
The one outside is Luo Feng.
Because Gu Ce took away the Lieyuan Technique from the eighth floor, Luo Feng skipped the eighth floor and arrived at the courtyard of the ninth floor.
"Huh?" The man in the magnificent royal robe was startled and looked outside.
Outside, Luo Feng stood in the courtyard waiting, while also silently cultivating the Divine Eye Secret Technique.
"If I hadn't appeared, he would be the one talking to you now, but he doesn't know any of this, so there's no need to talk to him for now." Gu Ce waved the token in his hand, and the man in the magnificent royal robe immediately understood.
No matter how the main body wants to cultivate Luo Feng as a disciple, he must cooperate!
Moreover, Luo Feng... if Gu Ce hadn't appeared, Luo Feng might have actually had some hope of obtaining that Lieyuan Technique.
The man in the magnificent royal robe thought to himself.
"You and the main body..." The man in the magnificent royal robe took a deep breath. "It seems the main body's plan has succeeded. I will do my best to help you grow in the Jin world. What do you want? I can give you Wu Qi God, no military merit required. I can even help destroy your enemies."
The man in the magnificent royal robe, as the consciousness left behind by the God-King of Jin, naturally has absolute control over this world of Jin. The four generals, who are at the level of Eternal True Gods, will all obey the orders of the man in the magnificent royal robe.
"No rush." Gu Ce smiled slightly.
Annihilate the enemy?
It would be best to lure everyone from the Purple Moon Holy Land in and solve the problem all at once!
Otherwise, if they become alert and retreat into the Holy Land universe, it will be difficult to attack them; they can only wait to enslave the World Beasts.
The man in the magnificent royal robe nodded and pointed to the machine beside him.
It was a single mechanical treasure with a streamlined body, a monkey-like shape, and a flexible tail.
"This is the True God-level machine I created, 'Wuqi God.' Among single True God-level machines... it is absolutely the most top-tier. Its only drawback is that it consumes divine power very quickly. Even though your divine body is already quite large, you still have to be careful and not unleash your power recklessly. Otherwise, the consumption will be too great, and it will be very troublesome for your divine body to recover," the man in the magnificent royal robe reminded him.
"What other help do you need?" the man in the magnificent royal robe asked.
"Hmm... I hope my actions within the Jin world won't be detected by the military's systems. As for the rest, that's fine for now. I'll contact you when needed," Gu Ce said. "Also, this Wu Qi God, did you really only create one?"
The man in the magnificent royal robes was slightly taken aback, then shook his head helplessly.
"After the original body left, I stayed here, naturally with nothing to do. Over the years, I've tried to replicate the God of Wuqi." The man in the magnificent royal robe pointed to the mechanical parts on the table. "The result of the replication... I am ultimately just a consciousness. In the end, the replicated God of Wuqi was almost identical in power and defense, but it consumed more than ten times the divine power!"
"You should know that the God of Wuqi's consumption of divine power is extremely terrifying. Even your divine body, which spans hundreds of millions of kilometers, cannot sustain it for long. If the consumption reaches more than ten times, there will be almost no true god left to use it. As for the Void True God, the only value of this thing is its defensive function. It would be better to find a mechanical treasure of the corresponding Void True God level."
"What's replicated is just junk."
Consuming divine power?
Gu Ce seemed to be deep in thought.
"It's alright, just give it to that person outside. He's your disciple, you wouldn't mistreat him, would you?" Gu Ce said with a smile.
"Of course not," said the man in the magnificent royal robe.
"That's good." Gu Ce nodded slightly, walked to the courtyard gate, opened the door and pulled Luo Feng in.
"This is……"
Luo Feng looked at the magnificent royal robe-clad man in the room with a puzzled expression. Gu Ce was one step ahead of him, which was within his expectations. But what was going on here?
