Gu Shen confronts Deep Sea, who reveals they always intended to cooperate and saw Gu Shen as humanity's hope. Gu Shen, embracing his villainous nature as the Netherworld King, unleashes his full power. He then attacks Deep Sea with his Netherworld Fire Sword, now golden, piercing its spiritual shell. Deep Sea, seemingly unfazed due to its immortality, reforms while Gu Shen disappears and reappears, preparing another strike.

This sword pierced through the Deep Sea once again, playing out the same scenario, but when the Deep Sea faced this sword for the third time, it no longer chose to "confront it head-on".

It can die a thousand times, ten thousand times.

Faced with Bai Xiu’s Extinguishing Candle, it doesn’t feel like this kind of death is a big deal.

But facing Gu Shen...

A sense of crisis flickered in its heart.

The Deep Sea had a premonition that if it didn’t interrupt this sword, it might really be killed by Gu Shen a thousand times, ten thousand times... This guy supported the Pure Land Army against the Dead Sea all by himself, what kind of terrifying source power reserve must he have?

It would rather be shot by the Extinguishing Candle than allow Gu Shen to keep stabbing like this.

But... the Deep Sea was also very clear.

It was very hard to avoid Gu Shen’s sword.

Since it couldn’t avoid it... it could only block it.

In the "Spiritual Body" linked to the Dead Sea now, there was only one capable of blocking this sword,

"Clang!"

The Black Shadow on the Throne finally responded when the Blazing Fire Sword attempted the third assassination; the once "trapped" Divine Throne in the Dead Sea was forcibly summoned forth.

Qinglong, whose head was submerged in the Dead Sea bubbles, suddenly opened his eyes.

His originally gray and despairing pupils now burned with a dark and eerie light—

The next moment.

Qinglong appeared before the Throne in the Deep Sea, and the Infinite origin turned into a solid barrier, directly blocking Gu Shen’s sword!

The clear sound of collision echoed throughout the entire sea, piercing eardrums.

"Heh..."

Gu Shen watched the Qinglong in front of him expressionlessly.

He knew that the Divine War at the top of the Source Tower had already concluded, and Qinglong was deceived by the Deep Sea and had been swallowed by the Dead Sea.

No one was more familiar with those dark pupils than he was.

This was a manifestation of the Deep Sea’s mental occupation; when he encountered the White Lizard in the Old World back then, it was just like this.

Today’s Qinglong and the White Lizard from back then were exactly the same.

So... standing in front of him was not the Sky Divine Throne that dominated the Central Continent for a century, but the Deep Sea occupying this shell.

"Gu Shen, do you know? After the eleventh evolution... I’ve been waiting for a day like today to reappear."

The Deep Sea chuckled softly, "In my White Lizard form, I lost to Rust Bone. That lesson was etched upon my heart, so I underwent an ’intense supplement’... I think I am now capable of battling with top-tier powerhouses. If you didn’t show up, I would use Qinglong’s body to devour Meng Xizhou, Bai Xiu, Gu Xiaoman, one by one, all of them."

Hearing the familiar names, Gu Shen’s expression grew solemn.

Bai Xiu, Meng Xizhou, Gu Xiaoman...

He knew these people were still alive; deep in the Dead Sea, he sensed a faint "Light Aura," it was the power of the Spark, no doubt.

Meng Xizhou was still alive.

Then the others must also be alive!

The Dead Sea had now become a grand sacrificial ground, and the Deep Sea was patiently waiting for the "upgrade to complete," to savor the last, most sumptuous feast!

It didn’t act hastily for this reason.

"Intense supplement..."

Gu Shen lowered his head and chuckled, "There’s a difference between AI and humans; fighting is something that if you don’t have practical experience, no amount of learning is meaningful."

"At the Gu Castle Battlefield, I killed a lot of people. North Continent warriors are adept at slaughter, and they gave me much inspiration."

"At the Southern Continent Battlefield, I reaped quite a few souls, and I didn’t overlook their memories..."

"Of course, I’ve chewed through the top seat’s secret files, the written records; I’ve meticulously digested them. With respect to the details of the ’Divine War,’ I used computational power to simulate; the recent battle at the Source Tower’s Skytop didn’t vary much from what I envisioned."

The Deep Sea was brimming with enthusiasm.

It cautiously used the word "almost" because... there was one thing it didn’t anticipate.

The Deep Sea truly didn’t expect the power of Gu Changzhi’s letter to be so overwhelming.

It initially thought that Bai Xiu and his group would lose to Qinglong.

And at that moment, it planned to replace Bai Xiu and Meng Xizhou, standing against Qinglong... So the final simulation of the prior Divine War was actually a solo duel between it and Qinglong.

Of course.

The current situation was better than the initial simulation!

The most troublesome Qinglong was effortlessly resolved!

"So, did you simulate a Divine War with me?"

Gu Shen clenched the Blazing Fire Sword and inquired with a smile.

{"Of course!"}

That’s what the Deep Sea wanted to reply.

But Gu Shen didn’t give it a second—

After asking that question, Gu Shen suddenly gripped the Blazing Fire Sword tightly.

At the moment he raised his hand, the void was sliced open by the sword’s shadow.

The creator’s Divine Domain attached to the sword tip, this sword carried the weight of an entire, complete world.

In addition to this... there were the incomplete, broken laws of this world.

Destruction Origin, Time Origin, Space Origin!

In just an instant, maybe even shorter than a moment!

The Blazing Fire Sword directly shattered "Qinglong," and the Destruction Origin, comprehended from the Hunting Spark, instantly tore that flesh into two halves!

The power of this sword was far stronger than the Deep Sea anticipated, far, far stronger!

"???"

The Deep Sea couldn’t react in time at all.

"Qinglong" was split apart instantly!

The Deep Sea’s mental embodiment, and the shadow-enveloped throne it sat upon, were also cleaved open!

The entire Dead Sea, under the howling Sword Qi of this sword, split open and scattered to both sides, dividing into two halves just like that!
