In the sky above the wasteland, the wind, lightning, and spatial cracks that had been stirred up by the collision of divine arts were gradually stopping.
Gu Changqing waited for a response from the tombstone.
When the sky was calm and there were no more shockwaves, the voice from the tomb rang again.
âHow many years has it been?â
The voice was asking and recalling.
Gu Changqing thought for a moment and replied, âItâs been a billion years since the last time Universe City opened.â
Hearing Gu Changqingâs answer, the tomb fell silent again. After a long time, a wisp of green smoke slowly floated out from inside it.
In front of him, it condensed into an old man in a green robe with white hair and a beard. Noticing that Gu Changqing was sizing him up, the old man said,
âThereâs no need to look. Iâm just a wisp of a soul.â The other party nodded and withdrew his divine sense.
âYouâre the current human ruler?â
The old man sized Gu Changqing up, his eyes revealing a satisfied expression.
âItâs me. May I ask Senior a question?â
Just a wisp of this old manâs remnant soul was enough to resist Gu Changqingâs pressure. Knowing this, the latter didnât dare to imagine how strong the old manâs peak strength was.
The old man revealed a trace of mockery and then said, âIâm just an old man guarding a tomb.â
âWho is buried in here?â
Gu Changqingâs face was somewhat unhappy. He didnât like this kind of pretence of being profound at all.
If it wasnât for the fact that he had so many questions that he wanted to get answers from the old man, he would have been dead.
Perhaps he had already scattered the old manâs remnant soul.
âItâs a pity that the former human Sovereign Lordâ¦He still couldnât catch up to that group of people. He couldnât even get past the otherworldly demons.â
The old man shook his head as he spoke. Gu Changqing could not help but clench his fists.
âLet me ask.â
The Yellow Emperor suddenly stood up and stood side by side with Gu Changqing.
Knowing Gu Changqingâs temper, the Yellow Emperor was afraid that if this continued, Gu Changqing would really make a move.
â What does this woman have to do with the person in the tomb?â the Yellow
Emperor asked without wasting any time.â What is an Extraterrestrial Demon?âââ
âIt seems likeâ¦
The old man seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with the surrounding air. He felt that he could not delay any longer and immediately changed his words.
â Sheâs the otherworldly demon, Su Li. The hope of a generation of humans was destroyed by her. The one buried in her tomb is the human Sovereign Lord of that generation, Di Xin!â
When he heard the name Di Xin again, he didnât expect it to be the former Sovereign Lord.
Also, who was the group of people he was talking about just now?
Could it be that Di Xin wasnât from the era of the experts from the Origin of the Blue Planet?
Was he a rising star who had awakened after that era?
Who were those people?
How powerful was he?
Gu Changqing and the Yellow Emperor looked at each other, and the doubt in their hearts deepened.
They were both former Starry Sky Sovereign Lords, but Yellow Emperor had never been to Universe City.
As for the Qin Emperor, he had only scouted the periphery of Universe City and had not even reached the Rebirth Bridge.
However, this human Sovereign Lord named Di Xin was buried in Universe City.
âEmperor Xin was a hero of his generation. He led the human race to sweep through a medium-sized universe and fight against the enemies from the outer realms. However, he was bewitched by this monster.â
âIn the final battle, the human race fought a bloody battle, but the extraterrestrial wormhole was opened by this monster in Zhaoge City.â
âOur human race was attacked from behind and in the end, we all died in battle.â
âPresumably, those otherworldly demons who snuck in are still running amok in Universe City.â
The old manâs face revealed an indignant expression. It was as if he was still furious when he mentioned the past.
âExtraterrestrial devils?â
Gu Changqing was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought of the space beasts that could be seen everywhere outside the Rebirth Bridge. Could their true identities be the otherworldly demons?
However, those starry sky ferocious beasts were clearly so weak. Occasionally, some of them were a little stronger. In front of Gu Changqing, they were just slightly bigger ants. He could easily crush countless of them.
However, it was obvious that he was wrong.
âThere are two types of otherworldly demons: formless and formless. Su Li is formless, and her true form is a nine-tailed fox demon.â
The old man explained. With a wave of his hand, a wisp of green smoke floated onto the nine-colored demoness.
She widened her eyes in horror. The nine tails behind her danced wildly, and her body glowed with nine-colored light.
On her face, a human face and a civet catâs face kept appearing.
âHmm? No!â
The old man looked at Su Li, who was changing her form, and said in surprise.
Gu Changqing was also a little confused. The Nine-Colored Enchantress in front of him was Su Li.
In front of everyone, it slowly turned into a nine-tailed civet cat.
However, the old man was talking about the Nine-Tailed Fox. The difference of two words was the difference of an entire race.
âDi Xin! It must be you!â
The old man seemed to have thought of something and roared angrily at the stone tomb.
As if sensing Su Liâs change, the waves coming from the stone tomb stopped.
âIs he still alive?â
Gu Changqing asked.
âWhatâs left behind is just a ridiculous obsession!â âThis strand of obsession is still left for this monster!â
The old man revealed a disdainful expression.
The gravestone seemed to have sensed the old manâs emotions.
A murderous aura surged towards the stone tomb as if it was venting its unwillingness.
âArenât the otherworldly demons these ferocious beasts?â
Gu Changqing came out again after the old man said something that he didnât make clear.
âSpace beasts? They are just a bunch of low-level bugs. They were also created by the otherworldly demons to destroy the foundation of the Divine
Inscriptionists of the human race.â
Regarding this, Gu Changqing was aware.
âWhatâs with potential crystals?â
Gu Changqing thought of the great wronged Qin Emperor. Because of a potential crystal with side effects, he was played to death by a whore.
It was similar to Di Xin.
If Di Xin was still alive, he would definitely have endless topics to talk about with the Qin Emperor.
There was also Yu Hao, who was tricked by Diqin Naxi into giving his clansmen potential crystals.
Perhaps they had not discovered the problem yet.
âPotential Crystal? What the hell?â
The old man was stunned for a moment, clearly not knowing what Gu Changqing was talking about.
Gu Changqing had no choice but to describe it. âTheyâre just a bunch of failed test subjects.â the old man said.
âItâs not like the human race hasnât thought of using the fragments left behind by the Astral Beasts.â
âIâve used countless methods to suppress and purify it to get rid of the impure will. Iâve failed countless times.â
âThose are the products of failure. Although the purity has increased, it also left a fatal flaw.â
âOriginally, we planned to destroy all of them. However, as the battle against the otherworldly demons became more and more intense, the human race urgently needed the power of more Divine Tattooists.â
âThus, a portion of the Divine Inscriptionists of the human race did not hesitate to destroy their future prospects and used these defective products to increase their strength.â
At this point, the old manâs face revealed nostalgia and sadness.
Gu Changqing and the Yellow Emperor were silent. Perhaps these people were not strong, but when the human race needed them the most, they did not hesitate to destroy their own future.
Such righteousness was probably the reason why the human race would return to the peak of the universe no matter how many times they fell.
âIn the end, our human mighty figure succeeded.â
The old man looked at Gu Changqing, his eyes revealing a look of admiration once again.
âIs it the crystallization of the power of Divine Inscriptions?â Gu Changqing had already thought of the answer.
âThatâs right, there are no side effects. I believe that you have already experienced the purest form of Divine Inscription Energy.â
Gu Changqing nodded and did not deny it.
âItâs just that I didnât expect that the current you would no longer need the crystallization of Divine Inscriptions. Youâve already crossed that threshold.â The old man turned to look at the stone tomb with a mocking expression.
âDi Xin, you lost the bet back then!â
