Chapter 692: Chapter 195: Pure Land Farewell to the Departed (Long Chapter)_3

What brought him relief was... time changed everything.

After his own "death," the family changed significantly. He observed Changye City for a whole year, saw many familiar yet strange faces, and witnessed many unexpected events. The elders of this family seemed less stubborn. Even without the bloodline’s [Reverse Flow] power, they strived to move forward. The young Bai children growing up in Changye City could freely pursue what they desired.

All this was brought by the new Family Head, Bai Xiaochi.

"You... have done well."

Bai Shu spoke softly to Bai Xiaochi, "Governing the family, organizing inside and outside... you are much stronger than I was back then."

It was high praise.

Bai Xiaochi shook his head, his voice hoarse, "Senior, I feel guilty that I couldn’t timely root out the scum like Bai Zesheng..."

The family had to bear a substantial part of the responsibility for the cemetery’s upheaval.

Bai Zesheng, as a traitor of the Elder Council, had been secretly colluding with the Source Tower for a long time... The drastic changes in Changye had his plotting and betrayal of comrades.

Even though this person had been beheaded and displayed in the cemetery, it still wasn’t enough to atone!

"We’ll discuss this later."

Bai Shu signaled Bai Xiaochi with his eyes not to rush into self-blame.

He looked at everyone, stating the purpose of the gathering, "I believe you all... seeing the power I now control, should understand what happened in the cemetery."

Golden Divine Domain, Battle Divine Fire.

They could all see that Bai Shu, at that moment, had refined the "Battle Fire."

However... this was actually a sorrowful message.

The owner of this spark had been Gu Changzhi.

Now, with Bai Shu, there was only one reason.

Gu Changzhi was dead.

"Fought against the God of Wine, repelled the Sky Divine Throne... He burned everything till his last breath," Bai Shu said softly, "From now on, there is only the name Gu Changzhi in this world, no longer the person."

Everyone present looked desolate.

Even with mental preparation, truly hearing it... still deeply saddened them.

The sun that had protected Changye for decades.

Now fallen.

Many outside were still waiting with hope... How could they go out and deliver such sad news?

"You all are the pillars of Changye; you must regain your spirits. The deceased are gone, but the living must move on. The situation in the East Continent is not optimistic."

Bai Shu took a deep breath, suppressing his complicated emotions, and said clearly, "Now, the Battle God Throne’s spark has been refined by me; I will be responsible for guarding the East Continent."

Mr. Shan hesitated for a long time, then finally spoke, "I have one question... has the God of Wine been killed?"

The heavy machine images captured.

They didn’t dare to believe.

Without seeing it with their own eyes, no one dared to believe that a Divine Throne had been slain.

"The God of Wine is confirmed dead, but his spark was taken back to the Source Tower by the Sky Divine Throne."

Everyone was enlightened.

No wonder... there was a second Divine Throne’s disturbance later.

The death of the God of Wine was greatly beneficial, even if the spark was taken back to the Source Tower, the pressure on the East Continent was greatly reduced, as each Divine Throne’s birth required long refinement!

Except for rare exceptions like Bai Shu.

An incredibly outstanding Transcendent of an era, for a long period on par with Gu Changzhi, almost receiving the Battle Fire’s recognition, but ultimately falling just short and being defeated.

The spark changed hands, and he rightfully assumed the role.

It wouldn’t be easy for the Source Tower to find a "perfect match"!

Zhou Wei was the next to speak, addressing a doubt of his own.

"Why did I earlier... see a large black cloud over the cemetery?"

Many people saw that black cloud.

The heavy machine also tried to capture the scene within, vaguely seeing someone standing inside, but it couldn’t analyze...

Was there a third person in the Divine War?

"That was... the Netherworld King."

Bai Shu said calmly, "The God of Wine’s entry into the cemetery was planned by the Netherworld King and Gu Changzhi together."

"The Netherworld King?!"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

This Divine Throne had received "confirmed death" from the Federation Government!

It was said that he died outside the North Continent Fortress’s giant wall... his body unknown, the spark lost. The Investigation Corps of the North Continent Fortress had once gone on a major expedition to find the "Netherworld King’s Spark."

Yet, no information ever came back.

"The Netherworld King... is still alive?"

Even Bai Xiaochi’s expression turned unsteady; he remembered well that among the seven Divine Thrones back then, the Netherworld King’s power was the most enigmatic and unpredictable, with a style both righteous and evil, hard to fathom.

Such a titan had no definite alignment.

The Five Continents couldn’t constrain him.

The Source Tower, Changye, Central City all extended olive branches to him... but he refused them all!

And because of the inconsistency with the "spark" properties, the Divine Throne of the Light City hunted the Netherworld King multiple times, and it was said that the Netherworld King’s last escape from the North Continent’s giant wall was related to the Light God’s Seat.

Many of the old titled ones raised their heads, looking around them.

Because of the Golden Divine Domain’s cover,

The pitch-black clouds were dispelled... but the name Netherworld King, still struck fear into the hearts of many from back then. Hearing it again after so many years still caused their hair to stand on end.
