List of strange talismans

Chapter 243 Above Deep Space 4K
Gu Xiuya listened silently, his face calm, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.

Ku Xin's words revealed a secret that had been buried for thousands of years. He had never thought that the battle between the strongest among the gods, the second generation of god kings, and the old days would actually end like this. carried out in a manner.

What exactly are rules?
This kind of power can actually take effect on the old days. Doesn't this mean that the level of power is stronger than authority?
He was thinking about it, but before he had time to ask, he heard Cu Xin say: "I know what you want to ask, but unfortunately I can't answer you. If I had understood the nature of the rules, I wouldn't have fallen to this."

Gu Xiuya heard a hint of loneliness in Cu Xin's voice. It seemed that this weirdo who once had a human name must have a past that he didn't want to recall.

He then changed the question: "The rules of the God King only restrict the Old One from lending power from the past or future self, but what about its own power? Why doesn't it break through the seal with its own power?"

Ku Xin chuckled: "All the people left on this planet are losers. What do you think the winners did after they won?"

Gu Xiuya came to his senses: "They took away the loser's power?"

"To be precise, it deprives the losers of the power they have on that timeline."

Ku Xin said: "The victors have inflicted heavy losses on the losers. Even after sleeping for thousands of years, they have never recovered. If the old strength is intact, the gods will not even have a chance to face it, let alone seal it. .”

Gu Xiuya took a deep breath.

At this moment, he finally understood why Misius and other Holy Spirits were so afraid of the old days.

Just being in a half-dead state requires the second-generation God King and his entire pantheon to pay the price of existence in order to complete the seal.One can imagine how terrifying this thing is in its heyday.

If such a thing were to escape, the whole world would probably be saved.

When Gu Xiuya thought of this, he suddenly had a doubt.

"Your Excellency Ku Xin, everything you said was arranged by the God King. Where was it in the old days? Didn't it resist? It was just captured without mercy?"

"Of course He resisted."

Ku Xin said: "Although He has lost most of his power, his personality is still there. His transcendent personality makes him inherently able to resist the power of rules."

"The intuitive manifestation of this resistance lies in its ability to question the rules."

"Of course, the so-called [questioning] is just a superficial analysis and far-fetched description of His infinite power based on my own knowledge. As for the real process and reason for its effectiveness, I don't know."

"You can simply understand this matter as: under the witness of a certain world consciousness, an all-stopping game started between the gods and the old days. But for the game to take effect, both parties need to agree on the terms of the game. rule."

"The God-King set forth His rules, and the Old One, by virtue of its personhood, was given the opportunity to question the rules."

"There is only one such opportunity. It can propose a rule, a rule that does not violate the rules of the God King. And use this to win."

"The old days did not exercise its rights immediately because the rules of the God King were too subtle, so subtle that they could not find a breakthrough for a while."

"It began to meditate and sleep."

"After long reflection, the old days found their chance to win."

"With its transcendent personality, it made the old promises to the world, and it also said yes, its own rules."

"That is: all creatures that follow its prescribed routine and complete the ritual can obtain the power it retains over a long period of time."

"Do you understand the meaning of this sentence? It did not violate the rules set by the God King. It did not even think about how to fight against the rules. It broke the God King's seal in a unique way."

"It chooses to lend the power of the past to the creature that completes the ritual."

"You are that creature."

"Returning to the millennium is a ritual, traveling through the darkness is a ritual, and attacking the star stone wall is also a ritual. This is the same as the God King sacrificing himself as the price."

"Do you think you can rest easy because your attack did not cause damage to the Star Stone Wall? You are wrong. The important thing is never the result of the attack, but the ceremony itself!"

"After completing the ritual, the rules will come into effect."

"I don't know what price the old days paid to establish this rule, but I guess the price must be quite high, otherwise, its consciousness would not have awakened until now."

“But it’s all worth it.”

"300 years ago, the first Holy Spirit who was bewitched by the old body entered the earth's crust and attacked the Star Stone Wall, completing the first ceremony."

"Although he was eventually annihilated by the divine power left behind by the God King, he at least briefly gained the power left in the past, even if he himself may not know it."

"This opens up the connection between the past and my past self."

"Today, 300 years later, you completed the second ceremony. Since then, [the past] and [the present] have also been connected."

"Now there is only the last ceremony left. This is also the simplest ceremony. In the old days, all one had to do was locate [the present] and wait for the next intruder in 300 years to come from a cave that is connected in all directions. Arriving here is the time for it to completely complete the ritual and get out of trouble."

"I know that your kind is trying to reseal it, but it is meaningless. Once the link is created, it cannot be broken by any conventional means. The only thing that can defeat the rules is the rules."

Cu Xing seemed to have remembered something when he said this, his tone fluctuated slightly, revealing a hint of complicated emotions.

Gu Xiuya didn't pay attention to these trivial things. His mind was filled with one thought at the moment.

"You mean, I have gained the great power of the past?!!"

"Theoretically yes."

"Theoretically?"

"Do you think the old days were anything good?"

Cu Xin's tone was slightly teasing: "You don't think it will be so generous that it can share its power with you without any defense, do you?"

Gu Xiuya shook his head: "I have never been afraid to speculate on these creatures with infinite power with the worst malice. I also know that it cannot willingly share its power with me. But the ceremony was successful in the end. It has to follow its own rules. The rules are laid down, right? Otherwise, what’s the point of the rules?”

"You overestimate the role of ritual."

Ku Xin said calmly: "If the power of the past is compared to the treasure in a hidden treasure house, then the function of the ceremony is to give you the qualifications to inherit the treasure from the perspective of legal principles or rules."

"But qualifications are just qualifications after all. You still need to find the key to the treasure house to truly own this treasure."

Gu Xiuya glanced at him.

Ku Xin seemed to know what Gu Xiuya was thinking. He said: "I don't have a key. But I know how to get in without a key. In fact, entering the treasure house is never the most difficult. What is difficult is finding the location of the treasure house and how to find it. How to stay alive after taking the treasure.”

"I can't solve these two problems, but you who have completed the ritual have such ability."

Gu Xiuya's eyes moved slightly: "You mean, you want to cooperate with me and share this old treasure?"

"Cooperation is just a temporary idea based on accident. I have lived underground for a long time, and I willingly fell into such a humble body just to steal its power."

Having said this, He paused: "Although it is a bit shameless to say this, but... you have completed the most troublesome part of the ritual, and the next thing is very simple. I don't have to cooperate with you, I just need to wait. After a few hundred years, the next person who strays into the world will still be able to achieve his goal."

Gu Xiuya looked at him: "I understand, you think my value is low and you want to lower the price in this cooperation, right?"

Cu Xing said nothing, but silence was the best answer.

Gu Xiuya smiled: "Sir Ku Xin, with all due respect, a few hundred years is not a short period of time. Do you really have enough confidence to survive in such a place until the next intruder appears? The only way you can cooperate with me is The best choice, isn’t it?”

Cu Xin's mood was very calm: "The spiritual body will never die due to aging. Do you think I need to worry about lifespan?" Gu Xiuya was slightly startled when he heard this.

He did not expect that the strange creature in front of him, which looked very similar to the earth-boring demon insect, was actually a god!
But after thinking about it, Gu Xiuya felt relieved again - Cu Xin knew all about the battle between the old days and the gods, and even knew the specific plans of the god king, which was enough to show that he had a close relationship with the group of gods.

Possibly even in a high position!

[In a group, if there are great beings who sacrifice themselves to protect others, there must also be extremely despicable and nasty people. 】

Gu Xiuya thought of Mishus's words, and he suddenly became curious about Ku Xin's identity: "So you are actually an imperial concubine. Am I lucky enough to know your dignity?"

Cushing did not answer the question.

He said: "You should take care of yourself, the old days are about to wake up, and there is not much time left for you."

Gu Xiuya chewed for a moment before realizing what Cu Xin meant: "You mean it will take action against me?"

"This is an obvious thing. Do you think it will let you roam free with its power?"

"But the rules"

"The rules only give you the qualification to inherit its power, but they don't say it can't kill you."

Gu Xiuya's expression changed slightly.

Only then did he understand why Cu Xin was so determined to defeat him.

It turns out that being qualified to inherit power is not a blessing. It is also a curse, a curse that is destined to be hunted by the old days.

"Without my help, you would have died."

The tentacles on Kuxin's head moved slightly, and a murmuring voice sounded: "It's time for you to make a decision, New God."

Gu Xiuya thought for a moment and then said, "How many do you want?"

"Seven out of ten."

".Too much."

"Do you still have a choice?"

"Of course. It's just hard."

Gu Xiuya looked at Cu Xin: "I can use the power of the being behind me to avoid the pursuit of the past. It just needs to pay some price."

The tentacles on Ku Xin's head stiffened slightly, and the human voice disappeared.

After more than ten seconds passed, he asked with some uncertainty: "Time?"

Gu Xiuya didn't answer, because any words he said at this moment might reveal flaws, which would invalidate this lie.

He just looked at him calmly and said nothing.

Cushing also fell silent.

He had no way of judging the credibility of Gu Xiuya's words, but he did witness the entire process of Gu Xiuya traveling through thousands of years to complete the ceremony. This unique miracle made him a little hesitant.

After a while, he changed his words and said: "Let's divide it equally."

Obviously, Cushing is not as indifferent to this cooperation as he shows.This is normal. If given a choice, who would want to live underground and hide around the past in fear for 300 years?

After discovering that Gu Xiuya might have some kind of reliance, he finally decided to act cautiously.

300% of the profits, in exchange for [-] years of free time, is not a loss in any case.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Gu Xiuya accepted it and said, "Now there is only one last question left: Do you mind swearing in the name of God as a proof of fulfilling your promise? I think you should have similar concerns. After all, you and I are not familiar with each other. Character, with the sea of ​​group consciousness as witness, can give this cooperation a foundation of trust.”

Hearing this, Cu Xin hesitated for a moment, and then a murmur sounded.

"In the name of the original god, I respectfully invite the sea of ​​divine consciousness to bear witness. I will abandon all conspiracies and tricks, complete cooperation with the god of Shuntian, and share the gains equally."

The moment Cu Xing finished speaking, a pure white light emerged from the back of his head and disappeared in a flash.

This means that the sea of ​​group consciousness affirms the identity of the swearer and accepts the oath.

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Xiuya's eyes.

He looked at Ku Xin, his eyes fixed on his grotesque body: "Are you the original god?!!"

When he first heard the legend of the First God, Gu Xiuya had imagined the image of this existence.

But he never imagined that the life that he imagined to be extremely majestic and glorious would actually look like this!
A human-like maggot!

In order to steal the power of the past, the first god born in human history willingly reduced himself to such a lowly life.
Gu Xiuya didn't know whether he should admire this spirit of giving everything, or whether he should feel ridiculous about it.

He only knew that if the gods learned of this, the already unstable Council of All Gods would probably fall apart immediately.

——Even the original God bowed down to the power of the past. How can the newcomers maintain their confidence?
".Is it worth it?"

Gu Xiuya couldn't help but ask Ku Xin.

Compared to him, this original god undoubtedly gave much more.

Identity, status, glory, authority. When He turned into a maggot, everything was destined to become a thing of the past.

He gave up everything He owned just to achieve His desired purpose.

But is it really worth it?
It's just a part of the old power that belongs to the past, only half of it. Is it really worth the world's first god to pay such a high price to fight for it?

"You'll find out soon enough."

Ku Xin's tone was calm, and there was no mood swing due to Gu Xiuya's words.

His tentacled head shook slightly and urged: "It's your turn, swear an oath."

Gu Xiuya then exchanged the order of subject and predicate and repeated Cu Xin's oath.

As the pure white light flashed away, the oath was established.

Seeing this, Ku Xin did not hesitate, stretched out his tentacles and said: "Grasp it with your power, we are about to start an extremely dangerous journey."

"Where to go?"

"Above deep space."
