The old man laid on the ground, moaning from the constant pain of being impaled by the Devil King Warden Rod.

He tried his best to let out his voice and spoke: So you want to know the secret of the twin swords?

Gu Qing Shan replied: Of course, thats why I came here

The old man stared at Gu Qing Shan and gritted his teeth: The Eternal True God planned for a very long time to be able to reach this point. If you manage to ruin the plan because of me, I will definitely be eaten by the True God

If you dont tell me, youll die right now Gu Qing Shan directly declared.

Both a black and a red glow appeared on the Devil King Warden Rod, slowly weaving together to form an eerie light that slowly crept down into the old mans body.

This was the scepters power of [Dispersion].

A dead person eaten by the Devil King Warden Rod would only become the scepters nutrient, unable to ever revive.

Hah, hah, hah

A heavy voice came from the Devil King Warden Rod as if it was preparing to feast.

The old man began trembling.

As a dead person, it was impossible for him to hide or conceal his fear towards the Devil King Warden Rod.

All of a sudden, the old man cried out in a broken tone of voice: Im only a minion, how could I know what the True God wants to do? Please spare my life, I will even be your servant!

Gu Qing Shan spoke without changing his expression: I can tell that the Soul Shrieker is very invested in this matter

That martial cultivators job was only to stop me, while the one who strung this entire matter along was you- a mere minion wouldnt be trusted so much or be assigned such an important role

Thats why you are no minion, dont lie in front of me

The old man froze.

I wont accept any begging Gu Qing Shan coldly declared: One last time, tell me, or die

His killing intent became stronger.

Staring at his eyes that contained no emotions, the old man had countless thoughts, but none of them would guarantee his life.

He sighed and couldnt help but say: Tell me first, how did you notice the truth about this? Only then can I tell you about the twin swords

Gu Qing Shan questioned: This is a transaction?

Yes, if the reason why this matter failed was due to the True Gods arrangements, they wouldnt arbitrarily devour subordinates like us the old man said.

I have to confirm that I would be alive before I told you anything, otherwise theres no reason for me to do unnecessary things

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly before confirming: I also prefer fair transactions, so I can tell you, but if you change your mind, I will immediately grant you eternal death

Agreed the old man quickly accepted.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: Truthfully, this was so simple that I didnt even need to think to see the truth

The old man couldnt help asking: What do you mean?

Gu Qing Shan slowly explained: Because as soon as I reached this world, someone tried to stop me your God is still stuck on another world, unable to come here due to my interference, but since it was afraid that I would mess up its plan, it ordered someone to block my way and temporarily stop me

Since it wanted to stop me, it was clear that its arrangements were still ongoing in this world

After escaping from the obstruction, I caught up with you and Xie Gu Hong

It was a simple process of elimination: One of you must be trying to do something by the Gods orders, so there must be an issue with either you or Xie Gu Hong

All I needed to do was keep observing

After you died, the only one left that could have an issue was Xie Gu Hong

But at this point, I still havent confirmed if you were truly dead or if you have the resurrection power granted by the Soul Shrieker and only faked your death

If I wanted to find the key to the issue, I only needed to perform a simple confirmation

-confirm if you were truly dead or just faking death

Since you were faking your death, then the issue must have obviously lied on what you did before

And you only did a single thing: Telling Xie Gu Hong about how crucial the twin swords Heaven and Earth were to humanitys future

Since theres an issue with you, there must also be in issue with what you did

And so there must be an issue with the twin swords Heaven and Earth

Gu Qing Shan sighed: I dont even want to explain this elementary-level deduction process a second time

The white-haired old man trembled.

He thought over and over, then couldnt help but ask: Are you also an existence from within the Eternal Abyss?

Gu Qing Shan didnt answer.

His tone simply became cold and merciless: You dont need to care about who I am, now its your turn to fulfill our bargain

Ill ask you one last time, why did you purposefully give the jade tags with the forging method for the twin swords to Xie Gu Hong?

The old man glanced at Gu Qing Shan, then at the Devil King Warden Rod, and recalled his previous words, slowly showing a dejected expression.

The old man sighed: The True God needs a weapon

A weapon? Gu Qing Shan asked.

The old man continued: Yes, Im not sure what it is exactly, but they require the most precious material within the Eternal Abyss to be forged into the twin swords Heaven and Earth for humanity, these two swords by themselves can be used as swords, but they were in fact only crucial components within that weapon

Gu Qing Shan asked: You told Xie Gu Hong that the two jade tags need to be imbued inside the twin swords because those jade tags themselves are materials from within the Eternal Abyss?

They are, you really responded too quickly the old man sighed.

Why didnt the Soul Shrieker forge the swords itself? Gu Qing Shan asked.

The old man hesitated briefly before gritting his teeth: The twin swords Heaven and Earth must be forged with extreme precision, and it must be done for over several years to fully complete

The True Gods main body is still asleep, only one of their split bodies are awake

The avatar exists in order to provide nutrient to the main body, it is great at fighting, but it doesnt know how to forge weapons

Because of this, the avatar has to rely on an intelligent species to create the twin swords

The avatar believes that the human cultivators to be extremely weak and only have enough intelligence and technique to forge the weapons, but are unable to pose a threat. Thats why it arranged everything

Gu Qing Shan silently listened and asked: Why was its body sleeping?

I dont know about this the old man replied.

Did the avatar ever tell you why it needs to forge the twin swords? Gu Qing Shan asked.

To complete that weapon, but it didnt tell me what the weapon was specifically the old man answered.

Gu Qing Shan tried another question: Did you surrender yourself to it? Why didnt you find someone to directly help it instead?

I cant the old man smiled bitterly, at least 5 to 10, Three Thousand Worlds realm cultivators need to work together to forge the twin swords

The old man continued: Cultivators of that realm cant win against the avatar, but they cant be controlled by it either since it couldnt enter the Primordial Heaven Realm

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: You said it couldnt enter the Primordial Heaven Realm?

Yes, in the Bygone Era, a defensive measure was put around the Primordial Heaven Realm, making it so that if the True God appeared inside, they would be immediately warped away the old man explained.

But it was able to go in when it acted as the Lord of Desolation Gu Qing Shan questioned.

Only for a short moment, when time runs out, it would still be discovered and be warped away the white-haired old man answered.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

No wonder the Lord of Desolation left so quickly after killing the Divine King in the previous war.

That was because it couldnt stay for too long.

The old man continued: More importantly, even though the True God supplied the method and main materials to forge the twin swords, they didnt give the other materials

Other materials? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Yes, these two swords require all of the power and resources of the Divine race and humanity, including most of the Primordial Heaven Realms resources as well as sacrificing the bodies and souls of humans and Divinities in order to truly complete

Gu Qing Shan muttered: If thats the case, both the Divine race and humanity would rather die in battle than forge the twin swords

The old man continued: Thats why the best method for them is to create a trap, a lie for humanity to believe in

At that point, Gu Qing Shan couldnt help but sigh.

Indeed, once humans are deep enough in despair, they would surely devote all their resources, some would even be more than willing to give up their souls and place all of humanitys hopes into these two swords

This would certainly make it so that humanity would willingly create the twin swords Heaven and Earth
