"Is it him?" the Earth Spirit God asked solemnly.
"It should be, he's the only one who likes to do this... to be precise, he's the only one who can do it!" The Thunder Spirit God's tone also became serious.
"He even pretended to be a ghost..."
"Every time that guy gets excited and wants to test... or observe someone, doesn't he always change into a different appearance?"
"By the way... is Guan really 'his' experiment? It seems that even he can't see through the mysterious power in Guan's sea of consciousness..."
"I don't know, maybe... there's some kind of loophole, or maybe it's just a coincidence?
Oh, and there's that little beastman! We didn't even find his hiding place before, right? And he hid fast enough, tut tut... is he following the descendants of Nuwa?" The Thunder Spirit God said with disdain.
"It's not that we couldn't find it, it's that Guan's spiritual consciousness is too weak. We only use his spiritual consciousness to observe the outside world, so naturally we can't find that little beastman." The Earth Spirit God retorted.
"Hmm? It seems like he's back again..."
"Chi You was very 'weird' back then, and so is the Demon Lord now... I sensed a similar aura to Chi You on him!"
Thunder Spirit God and Earth Spirit God were talking in the sea of consciousness.
From what they said, Chonglou's hiding method seemed to be very clever. Even Thunder Spirit God and Earth Spirit God, who could only use Guan Liyuan's spiritual consciousness to receive external signals, could only vaguely sense whether the other party was nearby.
At the same time, Chonglou had already slipped away before Guan Liyuan discovered the Pondering Ghost... But after the Pondering Ghost left, he immediately followed back, which shows that Chonglou could at least detect the abnormality of the Pondering Ghost, and even... maybe knew the identity of the Pondering Ghost!
"What are you two talking about? And... you two were the best at hiding just now, right?" Guan Liyuan's voice rang out in the sea of consciousness. Hearing this
, Thunder Spirit God coughed awkwardly: "Ahem, there is a power in your sea of consciousness that we can't see through, which should have blocked his perception, but if we talk to you, we may be discovered by the other party."
It seems that the Five Spirit Gods and Chonglou don't want to be discovered by each other? Then the other party might be someone from the God Realm?
After all, the Five Spirit Gods are still "prisoners" now. Once they find out that their true spirits are actually living in Guan Liyuan's sea of consciousness and have escaped from the Five Spirit Pearls, I'm afraid even Guan Liyuan will be in trouble!
"Well? Didn't that stalking demon lord escape from the Contemplative Ghost?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
"No... it should be that he is just not interested in the beastman." Thunder Spirit God said.
"So who is 'he'?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"You don't need to know this now, and... he won't 'observe' a person twice, so you don't have to worry." Earth Spirit God said.
In fact, Guan Liyuan didn't worry too much after knowing that the other party could not interfere with the operation of the forum, but was a little confused by the Contemplative Ghost's questions.
That's right, the question asked by the Contemplative Ghost is exactly what Guan Liyuan has been vaguely upset about recently.
That is...
for the worlds outside the main world, he is just an "outsider" after all, and even his body is just an incarnation of the forum!
What do these worlds mean to him? Just a "copy" to improve his strength?
Is it necessary and should I intervene too much in these worlds and the life trajectories of these people?
Although Guan Liyuan has achieved some small results in many worlds, he does not regard himself as a savior. He does not think that a world must have him. Sometimes he even doubts whether it would be better without him...
More importantly, Guan Liyuan sometimes wonders if it is fair and equal for his companions in other worlds that he can withdraw at any time - this is no longer a question of "hypocrisy". To some extent, Guan Liyuan's body is fake... Although in theory the "incarnation" is indeed himself.
Originally, these were just lingering in Guan Liyuan's mind, and he ignored them intentionally or unintentionally until he was asked by the pensive ghost. Guan Liyuan really thought about it in combination with his own experience!
The final conclusion is...
[I am so "cute", there will definitely be no "disturbance"! 】
Even if the body is not so real, Guan Liyuan's feelings for each world and the companions in each world are real. It is not the kind of dungeon relationship that you never bother to enter again after "leveling up"...
Guan Liyuan did not ask anything from the Thunder Spirit God and the Earth Spirit God, but... the Pondering Ghost seemed to have only taken a step ahead, but when Guan Liyuan and others walked around the corner, they could no longer find the Pondering Ghost.
"He ran quite fast, a brain-dead ghost... If we find him, we must punish him for delaying the time of several guests!" The little demon who led the way said with a curse.
Not long after, the little demon led Guan Liyuan and others to the exit of the fifth floor. From a distance, they could see that a "dead end" was built with some simple materials into a large and unconventional "palace" - just a few pillars and a huge stone roof.
"Dear guests, be careful. There are some 'traps' on the fifth floor. For example, the nozzles on this section of the wall occasionally directly spray out the demon-transforming water, and it is the only way to get here... To be honest, every time I come here, I am terrified and my legs tremble. But in fact, it usually sprays out once every few dozen days, unless you are particularly unlucky... Ah!"
Before the little demon finished speaking, he screamed...
Just in front of him, a column of demon-transforming water was sprayed out from the nozzle - as if it was waiting for him!
Directly splashed by the demon-transforming water, this little demon in the Gangfeng realm quickly turned into a pool of juice and seeped into the cracks in the floor made of demon-killing stone.
Guan Liyuan: ...
This is probably the so-called "seeking death"? It was him who just answered the thoughtful ghost that "there will be no difficulties if you die"!
But before he succeeded in his suicide, he finally completed his historical mission - he had brought Guan Liyuan and his party to a place not far from the Heavenly Ghost Emperor's lair.
At this time, many demons who had discovered the breath of the human race had already surrounded Guan Liyuan and others.
"I am Guan Liyuan, an old friend of your king in the ghost world. Take me to see your king!" Guan Liyuan said.
Although these are blood-eating demons, there is no psychological burden to kill them directly, but since we are going to see the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, it is better not to have a conflict first.
As he said this, Guan Liyuan also acted in a serious manner again, stimulating the ghost energy in his little finger, making himself look like a yang ghost messenger.
Hearing what Guan Liyuan said and feeling the ghost energy emanating from him, the demons who surrounded him showed a look of "regret" - they had finally waited for the human race that had come to them for revenge, but in the end, they came to find their king? It seemed that they were still yang-bodied ghost messengers?
Although these demons were bloodthirsty, evil would have its own way, and they did not dare to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, so they felt "regret" in their hearts...
"Wait! You are the king's 'old friend', and you are a yang-bodied ghost messenger, and this girl in red clothes is also a ghost, but... these people seem to be pure human race, right? Do they recognize the king too?" A bull-headed monster stopped him, licking his lips as he spoke, looking like he wanted to feast on the food.
"They are my friends." Guan Liyuan simply said.
"Your friends? Haha, you are the king's 'old friend', so you can naturally meet the king, but your friends...what do they have to do with us?" The bull-headed monster said.
Hearing this, the other monsters around were also worried and ready to move. Most of these monsters who feed on blood have straightforward minds and are easily affected by bloodthirsty thoughts. They cannot be expected to weigh the pros and cons like humans.
"Oh? Who are you?" Guan Liyuan asked with interest.
"Me? I am the two-horned king of Xiangqi Mountain and Shuangjiao Peak! Now I am one of the twelve monsters under the command of Tianguihuang..."
Before the bull-headed monster finished speaking, black flames suddenly ignited all over his body. He only had time to let out a half-scream before he died. Half a breath later, he turned into a bull shape, and a breath later, he turned into ashes...
"What does it have to do with me?" Guan Liyuan scratched his head in confusion and closed the Samsara Sharingan on his forehead.
Seeing that the "Two-Horned King", who was the strongest among the monsters, was burned to ashes by the opponent's strange black fire without even a fight, the other monsters immediately knew that this guy who didn't look like a master was not easy to mess with, so they all made way for him. A monster that looked like a musk deer spirit led Guan Liyuan and others inside...
When they entered the "hall", they saw that there was nothing in the empty hall except the throne of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor that seemed to be made of animal bones.
At this time, a man with a dark brown face and dark purple battle marks on his forehead, who would be very tall if he stood up, was sitting on the throne, looking like a king dominating the world - he was obviously just a prison bully, but he was quite a big shot...
Seeing Guan Liyuan and others coming in, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor sitting on the throne waved his hand to let the deer spirit retreat, and then said with a smile: "Haha, what is your relationship with Shi Xin? When did this emperor have a friend like you... If you can't explain it, don't blame this emperor for looking for you to settle the account for killing my general... that guy...!"
Guan Liyuan: ...
First of all, I mourn for the Double Horned King. Not only did he not announce his name, but it seemed that even the Heavenly Ghost Emperor had forgotten his name - are you sure it's "general"?
However, Guan Liyuan was sure that the Heavenly Ghost Emperor definitely didn't take these demon clan subordinates seriously... Otherwise,
the Demon Killing Stone would not limit the Heavenly Ghost Emperor's spiritual consciousness. From what he just said, it can be known that the Heavenly Ghost Emperor obviously knew what was happening outside, but he didn't mean to stop it.
This is not surprising - the Heavenly Ghost Emperor is the overlord of the ghost world. What kind of friendship can he have with these blood-eating demons? It's just that he was idle in the tower and collected some lackeys. These lackeys can also occupy some places with a faint smell of demon water with the help of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor.
"I am Yichen of Green Rose Mountain. By coincidence, I have met the king's Shixin Ghost Messenger...
Shixin Ghost Messenger was moved by the king's risk to come to the human world to find him, and then was mistakenly captured by Shushan, so he begged me to rescue the king. In addition, he also helped me, so I came to rescue him." Guan Liyuan said, and he also aroused his momentum of the state of unity between man and nature, showing the aura of a "master with Taoism".
Faintly feeling Guan Liyuan's true strength, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor restrained some of his tyranny, but his face was still disdainful - if the Heavenly Ghost Emperor was in the ghost world, he would not take the mere "unity of man and nature" seriously.
After all, "Heaven and Man in One" is only a four-tribulation half-immortal, and the Heavenly Ghost Emperor is one of the best among the five-tribulation ghost kings, and is even considered the "second best in the ghost world".
However, outside the ghost world, the strength that the Heavenly Ghost Emperor can exert is at most similar to that of an ordinary Heavenly Human Integral!
This is also because the Heavenly Ghost Emperor does not understand Guan Liyuan's true strength...
In fact, if Guan Liyuan uses all his means, I am afraid that even in the ghost world, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor can only be 50-50 with Guan Liyuan's "one life", and Guan Liyuan can be 70-30 with "two lives"! The Heavenly
Ghost Emperor does not know this, and when he heard the latter, his face showed a "(⊙_⊙)?" look.
"Me? Find him? Ahem... you said it is... then are you going to rescue me?" The Heavenly Ghost Emperor couldn't help but wonder, but he didn't get tangled here.
Sure enough! Guan Liyuan had thought that Shi Xin had a too good self-image before...
Judging from the time when the Heavenly Ghost Emperor was imprisoned in the tower, he might not know that Shi Xin was "missing" in the human world!
However, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor did not want to reveal more about the purpose of his coming to the human world, so Guan Liyuan did not ask any more questions.
"That's right, Your Majesty, please bear with me for a while and hide in this pottery jar. When we go out, we will naturally take you with us... But before that, Your Majesty needs to make three rules with me." Guan Liyuan said with a serious expression.
"Huh? You want to threaten me?" The Heavenly Ghost Emperor is indeed moody, and he seems to be going to turn against me. For a while, the ghost energy in the hall was surging with the Heavenly Ghost Emperor as the center.
However, Guan Liyuan was unmoved. Instead, he took a step forward, blocked Xuejian and others behind him and said, "It's not a threat, but... Although I promised Shi Xin, it's also 'within a hundred years'. If Your Majesty does not agree, then I will come back in a hundred years!"
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor and Guan Liyuan confronted each other in the hall. After the group of monsters outside felt this breath, they couldn't help but tremble.
"Haha, tell me..." The Heavenly Ghost Emperor finally laughed dryly and retracted his momentum.
"The three things are very simple. First, after leaving the Demon Locking Tower, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor must immediately return to the Ghost Realm and must not set foot in the Human Realm within a hundred years. Second... if the Heavenly Ghost Emperor wants to seek revenge on the former Shushan Sect Master Elder, it has nothing to do with me, but he must not harm innocent people. Third, the Fire Ghost King has obtained a treasure that is very useful to me. After the Heavenly Ghost Emperor returns, he must help me to 'ask for it'!" Guan Liyuan said.
"The Fire Ghost King? This emperor attacked her, which is considered bullying the weak, but if it is just to help, I can agree to it. As for seeking revenge on the old bastards in Shushan... I guess they have all died long ago!
Their disciples and grandchildren are not innocent. This emperor can only promise you that when I seek revenge on them in the future, I will naturally come to them openly and openly, and will not act secretly... As for the Human Realm, this emperor can only promise you that I will not come to the Human Realm within fifty years, and when I come next time... I will try not to let you find me!" The Heavenly Ghost Emperor bargained one by one.
Guan Liyuan had already heard that the Heavenly Ghost Emperor had an agenda when he came to the human world before! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so obsessed with it...
As for the threat of "open and aboveboard" revenge on Shushan, Guan Liyuan didn't care - since it was "open and aboveboard", Shushan also had to shoulder the responsibility.
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor didn't say that after returning to the ghost world, he would use the authority of the Well of Reincarnation to check the identities of the elders and disciples of Shushan who besieged him that year, and then destroy the souls of all their relatives in the ghost world. This would be considered Guan Liyuan's best efforts!
"There is another request that is not a request..." As soon as Guan Liyuan finished speaking, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor looked impatient.
"This finger bone... is the result of Shi Xin helping me pretend to be a ghost messenger. I wonder if the king can restore it?" Guan Liyuan has not forgotten Shi Xin's righteous act.
After hearing this, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor nodded and said, "After returning to the ghost world, I will naturally not forget his contribution!"
"In that case, please bear with it for a while... In addition, I have some privacy to deal with later, so it's best for you to close your mind." Guan Liyuan said, motioning Jingtian to hand over the pottery jar. "
Unfair? Compared with this demon-locking tower, the ghost pocket is much more comfortable! I am not interested in your affairs at all... Humph." The Heavenly Ghost Emperor said, and disappeared in the pottery jar. "
Wait... Your Majesty, please disperse the demons outside first! There are also several antiques inside, don't damage them... Hmm? Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Jingtian called a few times and found that the Heavenly Ghost Emperor had closed his mind.
Moreover, the ghost pocket in the pottery jar became unusable, and there was no way to call him - Guan Liyuan estimated that this was the result of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor deliberately getting angry!
