Chapter 381: Dialogue Across a Thousand Years

"Gu... Gu little brother?"

The War God's golden halberd should have fiercely pierced Gu Han's chest.

But it ultimately stopped just a finger's breadth before Gu Han's chest.

Just as he remembered from that scene thousands of years ago.

And the War God, whose mind had long been clouded by anger and slaughter, at this moment actually regained a brief clarity in his eyes.

No one had expected that, under the circumstance where everyone was worried about Gu Han's safety.

In the situation where Bai Ce and Xiao Wan Di had already exerted all their strength, trying to block the War God.

No one succeeded in blocking the War God.

Instead, it was the War God himself who stopped the attack.

Seeing the War God's body begin to tremble violently, as if enduring indescribable pain.

Everyone froze, not understanding what unknown change had occurred.

Only Bai Ce immediately rushed to Gu Han's side in that short time, wanting to bring him to a safe distance.

But Gu Han waved him off, his gaze complex as he watched the War God continually struggling in place.

Or rather, the Sword Edge King.

"Long time no see."

Looking at Gu Han as if greeting an old friend he hadn't seen in years, he exchanged greetings with the War God.

Bai Ce only felt a bunch of question marks over his head.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

Gu Han, how could he know the War God?

Is this still the Gu Han he knows?

Is this still the War God who is invincible, whose sword-point makes all beings submit?

And as Gu Han's words fell, the War God's struggling motions gradually slowed,

"Gu Han, we should… haven't seen each other for a few thousand years, right?"

The War God's low, war-cry-like voice rang in everyone's ears.

It made the vigilant An Jia Nan, Bai Ce, Xiao Wan Di, Zhang Hao and others all stare in shock at Gu Han and the War God.

What the hell is this development?

Even An Jia Nan, who is well-informed and has helped the Savior Heirs retrieve many sparks of fire, giving birth to several demigods,

at this moment also felt completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on.

Everyone present could say that only Gu Han and the War God knew exactly what was happening.

"Older Brother Ni Gu Si, I have come to fulfill my mission."

Hearing this, the War God's thoughts instantly spanned thousands of years.

As before, after Gu Han left, Ni Gu Si leaning sideways on his throne resonated with him.

Back then, he had hesitated over whether to tell Gu Han his true weakness.

But after a moment of hesitation in his heart, he still made the decision to follow his inner voice.

The War God Ni Gu Si's visage was ferocious, yet his eyes revealed a strange calm,

"I knew this day would come thousands of years ago."

Before his words even finished, the War God began to hunch over and frantically struggle.

Ni Gu Si kept panting heavily,

"Quick… strike, kill me!"

"While I can still control myself, act quickly! Don't hold back!"

Seeing Ni Gu Si's painful struggle, a hint of reluctance flashed in Gu Han's eyes.

After all, he had once fought side by side with Ni Gu Si.

Who could bear to strike down a comrade who once fought alongside him?

But seeing Ni Gu Si straining to control himself, Gu Han exhaled a turbid breath and still made up his mind.

To have fallen to this state is absolutely not what Ni Gu Si hoped to see.

If Ni Gu Si could still maintain his reason and control his body,

he would surely choose suicide, and would not choose to become the person he once utterly despised.

But Gu Han still tried, letting the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng attempt to awaken Ni Gu Si's reason.

But even if the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng gave its all, it could not free Ni Gu Si from the Black Tide's corruption.

Just then, the urge to slaughter seemed to shroud Ni Gu Si's eyes.

He let out a low roar, brandishing his golden halberd as he charged at Gu Han.

Gu Han had the Kun-Peng restrain the War God while he swung the Thunder Patrol Wings to Ni Gu Si's back.

Hiss!

The Dawn Dragon Roar Spear pierced into the seventh thoracic vertebra of Ni Gu Si's back.

His aura began to plummet at a visible speed, quickly dropping to a level even worse than Zhang Hao and the others.

Only after Gu Han put away the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear did he notice, after he had dodged to the War God's back,

the opponent's golden halberd was frozen there, never having stabbed toward his original position!

Gu Han only now realized that, even just then, it was Ni Gu Si's consciousness controlling his body.

rather than the War God being controlled by the Black Tide.

Ni Gu Si turned his body, which emitted crack-crack sounds, as if his body had not moved in many years.

The golden light on his body had already dimmed, yet his eyes looking at Gu Han were full of the look of relief,

"My fire seed, I entrust it to you, old friend."

"A thousand years ago, Ni Gu Si called Gu Han 'little brother.'"

"Although they had only spent a few short hours together, after crossing a thousand years, they became old friends."

"After Ni Gu Si finished speaking, a flame shaped like a sword appeared in his hand."

"The fiercely burning flames evoked a lofty fighting spirit."

"Everyone's gaze fell upon the flame in Ni Gu Si's palm."

"This is the God of War's fire seed, representing supreme combat power!"

"As long as they can refine this fire seed, they will instantly become the ultimate combat power of this world!"

"Xiao Wan Di all possess power matching that of a Martial Emperor, and relying on their immortality they can even wear out other Martial Emperors!"

"And if one becomes a demigod of the War Path, their strength will surely surpass that of Xiao Wan Di!"

"This is an indescribable temptation for anyone!"

"Even though these people have received Gu Han's life-saving grace, and are also high officials of Ben Lang Guo."

"At this moment, their hearts inevitably gave rise to some strange thoughts!"

"Such a temptation to become strong-willed is not something ordinary people can resist!"

"However, at this moment, as Ni Gu Si's body was about to dissipate, his left hand lightly waved over the God of War's fire seed."

"An invisible shackle then covered the fire seed."

"Ni Gu Si then said in a deep voice,"

"\"I have placed a shackle upon this fire seed; only those whom you, old friend, approve may undertake the trial to ascend to demigod of war. \""

"Although Ni Gu Si, who once fought side by side with Gu Han, knows."

"These people pose little threat to Gu Han."

"Merely the ability to step into the River of Time with one hand is enough to let Gu Han naturally stand invincible!"

"But he hopes that, in his final moments alive, he can resolve as much trouble as possible for his old friend."

"As soon as Ni Gu Si's words fell, everyone's attention gathered upon Gu Han."

"An Jia Nan is already a demigod of the Gate Path, and naturally has no desire for this power."

"Xiao Wan Di, who is also a son of the Sword Edge, is undoubtedly the most suitable person to inherit the God of War's power."

"But Zhang Hao and the others, in a sense, can also be considered people of Sword Edge City."

"If one wants to vie for the God of War's fire seed, they must first get on good terms with Gu Han."
