Chapter 681: Chapter 188: Repeal the Bill (2nd Update)

"After so many years... you haven’t changed a bit."

Upon hearing Gu Changzhi’s challenge, the man in the red robe riding the Red Dragon smiled.

He looked down silently at the Golden Divine Domain below, pulling on the neck of the Thunder Dragon to maintain its current height, no longer descending, thus the Red Dragon stopped just at the boundary line above the cemetery, without touching the Golden Divine Domain.

This action alone revealed his caution.

"My visit to Changye is not to fight with you."

The Sky Divine Throne spoke indifferently, "Gu Changzhi, I presume you also do not wish to really start a fight here? I am different from Di Jiu. Once a battle begins, all of Changye will instantly become ruins."

Gu Shen, hidden within the black cloud, still felt immense pressure under the dual protection of the Netherworld King Power and the Golden Divine Domain. Indeed, the Sky Divine Throne was not on the same level as the Wine God’s Throne.

Each of his words thundered in the ears!

Without the protection of these two domains, he feared... he could not even finish listening to a complete sentence!

"The Sky Divine Throne, it wasn’t an exaggeration..."

Bai Shu, who was with Gu Shen in the black cloud, said earnestly, "He has controlled the Divine Fire for the longest among the Gods of the Five Continents. No one knows the true extent of his power."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the face of the man in the red robe above.

After refining the Divine Fire because of the tremendous leap in the level of life, the faces of those on the "Divine Thrones" usually looked very young.

They had completely left the mundane realm behind.

For example, the God of Wine... usually even showed himself as a young man!

Using appearances to guess age was clearly futile.

Furthermore, Forbidden Techniques like Divination and Prayer Techniques were ineffective against a Divine Throne... So, information about the Sky Divine Throne could only be sought in the highest level forbidden archives in the deep water area.

But then, who has higher authority than the Divine Throne itself?

Thus... to explore the secrets of a Divine Throne was fundamentally an impossible absurdity.

"Perhaps, you overestimate yourself."

Gu Changzhi stood with his hands behind his back and calmly said, "Why don’t we fight now... I can guarantee that after the fight, Changye will remain as Changye, unharmed."

The Sky Divine Throne continued to smile.

"Unfortunately, such a fight will not occur."

He stated plainly, speaking leisurely, "Battle Fire, the light returns to reflect. You want to take advantage of the last embers to drag another Divine Throne down... "

Gu Changzhi fell silent, only clenching his fists.

His condition, seemingly powerful... but in reality, killing the God of Wine had pushed him to his limits.

Embers reignited.

How long could they burn?

The Sky Divine Throne said with a smile, "If today you were in your prime, and in the cemetery, it was only you alone, I would actually be willing to fight... "

At that moment,

his gaze turned towards a certain part of the Golden Divine Domain.

Gu Shen, hiding in the black cloud, felt a faint sensation of bursting in his heart.

That gaze had actually penetrated Gu Changzhi’s Golden Divine Domain and was directed straight at him!

Fortunately... the Netherworld King’s Black Cloud blocked it.

This gaze did not further tear through the black cloud.

Bai Shu stepped forward, shielding Gu Shen. It was a subconscious action... but if the Sky Divine Throne’s Divine Thought really ripped through the black cloud, he could react immediately.

"Senior Bai Shu... "

A wave of emotion surged in Gu Shen’s heart.

"Don’t panic, just hide within the black cloud and no matter how the Sky Divine Throne probes, do not show any unnecessary emotions," Bai Shu calmly instructed, "If he cannot sense you, he will not dare to make a move."

Gu Shen immediately understood the real intention of Mr. Gu Changzhi for having him stay within the black cloud!

Gu Changzhi had sensed the arrival of the Sky Divine Throne before anyone else!

He immediately operated the Breathing Method, silently exhaling, allowing his mind to return to calm.

"You and the Netherworld King really are brothers in adversity, to think up the ploy of feigning death from the Old World for today... Di Jiu dying at your hands, he didn’t die in vain."

The man in the red robe riding the Thunder Dragon, spoke with a light chuckle.

He did not step into the cemetery because he saw through it. In the Golden Divine Domain, there was still a patch of black cloud hidden!

That was the Netherworld King’s Black Cloud!

Gu Changzhi’s invitation for a battle... was truly a trap.

If he agreed, the Netherworld King would appear!

He considered himself to have seen through this trick, thus naturally he wouldn’t be fooled.

Therefore, before arriving in Changye today, the Sky Divine Throne had already decided he would not allow those two madmen below to have a chance to fight.

Gu Changzhi’s clenched fists slightly loosened.

He calmly looked up.

What a pity.

Within his divine form, the glow of the Battle Fire was now barely left, and although he still maintained the burning of Divine Power... the thought of breaking out of the mausoleum to battle the Sky Divine Throne had become an impossibility.

"The two of you... I have come here today to take the Wine God’s Spark."

The Sky Divine Throne calmly stated, "According to the highest seat of the Federation Government’s default rules... no continent should possess more than two Sparks. East Continent has shown weakness for twenty years, and shocking the world today should have achieved its effect, right?"

Five Continents, a total of seven Sparks.

The reason Central Continent could become the undisputed hegemon was that during the twenty years the Netherworld King’s Spark was lost... two god-level individuals who had smelted Sparks stood strong at the top of the Source Tower.

And now, East Continent possessed both the "Battle God Throne" and the "Netherworld King"!

From the weakest at the start, it had turned into the strongest!

The corpse of the God of Wine floated among the ruins of the mausoleum.

His Divine Blood, having lost the enhancement of the "Spark," was no different from the blood of an ordinary person, seeping into the earth.

Inside the exploded skull, however, was a purple "Spark" congealed.

That... was the Wine Spark!

If one got close, one would smell a faint wine scent that reached deep into the spirit.

This Spark, emitting a chaotic power, could immerse one in "Soul Comforting Village," experiencing boundless joy and illusory euphoria.

At this moment... the Wine Spark, was floating in front of Mr. Gu Changzhi.

But he had no intention of handing it over.

"This Spark has been passed down in my Source Tower for many years and has blessed many believers."

The Sky Divine Throne calmly said, "Even if you were to stay in Changye, no one else could inherit it... Currently in the Five Continents, outside the Fortress, there is a great pressure of order. Returning the Spark to allow the Source Tower to select a new wise leader among the believers of the God of Wine is the best outcome for the human world."

He knew well the character of Mr. Gu Changzhi.

This was a man who, for the sake of the Federation Government and the human world, burned all his brilliance selflessly.

To obtain the Spark from his hands... it would have to be approached from the overall situation.

Mr. Gu Changzhi fell into a brief silence.

Even if he didn’t want to return the Spark, he had to admit... what the Sky Divine Throne said was correct.

"If you are willing to hand over the Spark to me, I can assure you that the Source Tower will not pursue the responsibilities that Changye should bear for this Divine War," the man in the red robe gently said. "Otherwise, your act of killing a Divine Throne has caused a huge loss to the Federation Government... If the Source Tower insists on holding you accountable, you would hardly escape the blame."

Gu Shen in the black cloud, hearing this conversation, felt his teeth itch with annoyance.

It was clearly the God of Wine Throne who had done something extraordinary!

If not for Mr. Gu Changzhi’s intervention... how many people in Changye would have died innocently after today?

"The crimes of Di Jiu should be condemned ten times over."

Mr. Gu Changzhi calmly said, "I merely did what you all could not achieve."

A Divine Throne who does not fulfill the righteousness of the throne is the greatest calamity in the Five Continents!

"Indeed, I agree," the Sky Divine Throne calmly began, "If there truly comes a day of reckoning, it certainly won’t be to pursue your responsibility for killing him, but rather for your act of retaining the Spark. In any case, the human world... cannot be without a Divine Throne."

Saying this, he once again looked toward the black cloud in the Golden Divine Domain.

This kind of drama... Mr. Gu Changzhi seemed to have done it once before.

The disappearance of the Netherworld King had caused a massive loss to the Federation Government, which deployed many Transcendents to search, but they found no answers.

It was just that at that time, there was no evidence to point out that all this was done by Mr. Gu Changzhi.

The only one who had glimpsed into the Divine War of the Old World was the God of Wine Throne...

"I can hand over the Spark to the Source Tower."

Mr. Gu Changzhi pondered for a long time.

Finally, he raised his head and made a demand, "But I want the Source Tower to forever revoke the ’Awakening Bill.’"

The man riding atop the Thunder Dragon, upon hearing these words, also fell into a deep contemplation.

A moment later.

"I can only guarantee... the recall of the Awakening Bill in East Continent,"

the Sky Divine Throne spoke solemnly, "I can’t guarantee the rest, but for your sake, isn’t the recall of the Awakening Bill from East Continent enough?"

The recall from East Continent was indeed enough.

It was an excessive demand, but it left some leeway, and Mr. Gu Changzhi knew it was difficult to protect everyone in the Five Continents on this matter, but at the very least, he must protect East Continent!

He frowned and said, "You... have already chosen a new location for implementing the bill?"

Since the Sky Divine Throne could agree to his request, he must have thought of a strategy.

From the beginning, the Awakening Bill seemed more like a test to see whether he would awaken or not!

But... as the experiment progressed, the speed of implementing the bill became faster and faster.

Connecting human bodies to the "Deep Sea," stimulating awakening to achieve Transcendence... was no longer a vague idea!

Once the bill was passed, there really would be a group of ordinary people achieving Transcendent bodies!

Obviously... within the Five Continents, aside from East Continent, there was another very suitable location for implementing the bill.

"The bill will be implemented in Southern Continent."

The Sky Divine Throne earnestly said, "I will persuade Storm to select a city-state in Southern Continent for conducting the Transcendent Awakening experiment before implementing the bill. Therefore... I can assure you that from today, the Source Tower will revoke the proposal to implement the Awakening Bill in East Continent."
