The old man was lying on the ground, groaning in pain because he was penetrated by the Prison Ghost King's staff.
He tried his best to control his voice and said:
"You want to know the secret of the twin swords of heaven and earth?"
Gu Qingshan said: "Of course, that's why I'm here."
The old man stared at Gu Qingshan, gritted his teeth and said: "The Eternal True God has planned for a long time to achieve this step, but now you want to completely ruin the matter in my hands. I will definitely be eaten by the True God afterwards."
"If you don't tell me, I'll die now." Gu Qingshan said simply.
Darkness and scarlet colors surged up on the prison ghost king's staff. They intertwined and merged into a strange light that slowly spread along the staff towards the old man.
This is the soul-dissipating power of the scepter.
The dead eaten by the Ghost King's Staff will only become nutrients for the Ghost King's Staff and will never be resurrected.
Kick-kick——
There was a sound inside the Ghost King's staff, as if it was preparing to eat.
A shudder surged through the old man's body.
As a dead person, facing the Ghost King's Staff, he could not control the fear in his heart.
Suddenly, the old man almost collapsed and cried loudly: "I'm just a minion. How can I know what the true god is going to do? Please spare my life. I can be your servant in the future!"
Gu Qingshan said expressionlessly: "I can see that Soul Screamer attaches great importance to this matter."
"The duty of that martial artist is just to hold me back, but you are the one who really initiated the whole thing - you will not gain such trust from the higher-ups, nor will you be assigned to do such an important thing."
"So you are not a gangster, don't lie in front of me."
The old man was stunned.
"I don't accept any begging," Gu Qingshan said indifferently: "Tell me for the last time, or die."
The murderous aura in him became even stronger.
The old man stared at his emotionless eyes, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he could not find any chance to survive.
He sighed and had to say: "Tell me first how you discovered the truth, so that I dare to tell you about the twin swords of heaven and earth."
Gu Qingshan asked: "Is this a deal?"
"Yes, if the reason for the failure is that there is a problem with the true god's own arrangements, it will not easily eat our subordinates." The old man said.
"I have to ensure that I can survive before I can tell you what you want to know. Otherwise, why would I bother to do this?"
Gu Qingshan thought for a moment and then said: "Trading is a rule that I recognize, so I can tell you, but if you regret it later, then I will let you disappear forever."
"It's a deal," the old man said.
Gu Qingshan shook his head and said: "Actually, this matter is too simple, so I discovered your flaw without even thinking about it."
The old man couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"
Gu Qingshan said slowly:
"Because I was stopped when I first came to this world - your god is still in another sub-world for the time being, and is being entangled by my people and unable to escape, but it is afraid that I will ruin the things it has arranged, so it also sent People are waiting for me, trying to hold me back for a while.”
"Since it is holding me back, it is naturally because the things it has arranged in this world are going on."
"After getting rid of the person who intercepted me, I caught up with you and Xie Guhong."
"The simplest method of elimination: one of the two of you must be ready to do something. In short, either you have a problem or Xie Guhong has a problem."
"I just have to keep watching."
"After you die, the only one with a problem is Xie Guhong."
"But at this juncture, I'm not sure whether you are really dead, or whether you are pretending to be dead because of the resurrection properties given by the Soul Screamer."
"At this time, if you want to find the key to the problem, you only need to conduct a simple screening."
"——Let's see if you are faking death or real death."
"You really faked your death, then the problem lies in what you did."
"You only did one thing from beginning to end: you told Xie Guhong how important the twin swords of heaven and earth are to the fate of the human race."
"If you have a problem, then there's something wrong with what you're doing."
"So there must be something wrong with the twin swords of heaven and earth."
Gu Qingshan sighed and said: "I will never bother to say this kind of inference like a child making excuses."
The white-haired old man was stunned for a while.
He thought about it back and forth, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you also a being from the eternal abyss?"
Gu Qingshan did not answer.
His voice turned cold, with a ruthless tone: "Don't worry about my identity, now it's your turn to complete our deal."
"I ask you for the last time, why did you deliberately give the forged jade slip of the Double Sword of Heaven and Earth to Xie Guhong?"
The old man looked at Gu Qingshan, then at the Ghost King's Staff, thinking about what this man had just said, his expression gradually became depressed.
The old man sighed: "The true god needs a weapon."
"Weapons?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The old man said: "Yes, I don't know what it is specifically, but it requires using the most precious materials in the eternal abyss to create the double swords of heaven and earth. For the human race, although these two swords can be used as swords, In fact, they are just important components of the weapon."
Gu Qingshan asked: "You asked Xie Guhong to integrate the two jade slips into the swords of heaven and earth because the jade slips themselves are materials from the eternal abyss?"
"That's right, you reacted too quickly." The old man sighed.
"Why don't you build the Soul Screamer yourself?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The swords of heaven and earth must be forged with very fine techniques for several years in a row before they can be completed."
"The true God's true body is still sleeping, and only one split body is awake."
"The existence of the split body is to deliver nutrients to the main body. It is good at fighting, but not good at making weapons."
"Therefore, the split body must rely on the power of the intelligent race to create the double swords."
"The split body believes that the practitioners are very weak and have the wisdom and skills to forge weapons, but they do not pose any threat, so they finally decided to make arrangements."
Gu Qingshan listened silently and asked: "Why is its body in a deep sleep state?"
"I don't know about this," the old man said.
"Has the Split Body ever said why it created the Double Sword of Heaven and Earth?" Gu Qingshan asked again.
"In order to complete that weapon, I really don't know what it is exactly." The old man said.
Gu Qingshan raised another question: "Didn't you take refuge in it? Why didn't you just find someone to help him forge it?"
"No," the old man smiled bitterly, "To create the twin swords of heaven and earth, at least five to ten three thousand world-class experts are required to work together."
The old man continued: "Although a strong man of that level cannot defeat the split body, he will not be controlled by it - after all, it cannot enter the original heaven."
Gu Qingshan wondered: "You said it can't enter the original heaven?"
"Yes, in the ancient times, a special defense method was set up in the primitive heaven. Once the true god appears in it, he will be teleported out immediately." The old man said.
"But as the Lord of the Ancients, it can enter." Gu Qingshan said.
"You can only stay for a short while. When the time is up, you will still be discovered and teleported out." The white-haired old man said.
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
No wonder the Ancient Lord killed the God King in the last battle and left quickly.
It turns out that it can't stay there for long.
The old man continued: "More importantly, although the True God provided the main materials and methods for making the swords of heaven and earth, he did not provide other materials."
"Other materials?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Yes, these two swords require all the power of the gods and humans, all the resources of the original heaven, and even some bodies and souls of the gods and humans to be truly completed." The old man said.
Gu Qingshan murmured: "If this is the case, the gods and humans would rather die fighting to defend themselves than build the twin swords of heaven and earth."
The old man said: "So the best way is to set up a trap to deceive humans."
Hearing this, Gu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, when humans are in deep despair, they will definitely sacrifice all resources and even their own souls, pinning the hope of the entire human race on these two swords."
"This will indeed make the human race willing to forge those two swords."
