Chapter 414: Truth?

"Little Gray, Little White, we have found the trace of the Earth God!"

An Jiannan excitedly flapped wings and flew over.

Since Gu Han and Little Wolf returned from Fate Chong Yuan.

An Jiannan then placed his title before Bai Ce.

"Teacher An, nicely done!"

Bai Ce, who had just finished sparring with Gu Han, was originally sitting cross-legged, regulating his breath.

Upon hearing what An Jiannan said, Bai Ce immediately picked up the Morningstrike forged for him by the blacksmith.

"Partner, you stay here to guard Sheng Cheng; I and Xiao Wandie will follow Teacher An on a trip and that'll be enough."

Feng Yue Shan, after the Black Tide's large-scale attack on Sheng Cheng, all the golden threads were completely destroyed.

Even though Gu Han gave her the Heavenly Universe Spirit Fruit, allowing Feng Yue Shan's soul power to recover considerably.

But wanting to make Sheng Cheng impregnable again is certainly not a matter of a single day!

Feng Yue Shan without the golden threads' aid is still a demigod.

However, purely in terms of combat strength, she is clearly inferior to Bai Ce, Xiao Wandie, and Gu Han, the three of them.

However, what Gu Han relies on is not his own strength, but the help of the Kunpeng.

Therefore, among the three of them, someone must stay behind to guard Sheng Cheng, lest the black-robed swordsman take the opportunity to steal their home!

"Good, then I'll stay."

Gu Han knew that the black-robed swordsman was Bai Ce.

Furthermore, as Hei Ce who has endured countless ages, his strength is certainly not to be underestimated.

Most importantly, Hei Ce knows Xiao Wandie's weakness!

If Xiao Wandie were made responsible for guarding the city, the War God's spark would eventually fall into the black-robed swordsman's hands.

Gu Han thought for a moment, stepped closer to Bai Ce, and whispered,

"This time, going to besiege the Earth God, be sure to guard against the black-robed swordsman!"

"We must protect Xiao Wandie's safety!"

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Bai Ce hadn't thought much yet.

But Gu Han's latter words made Bai Ce slightly startled.

As everyone knows, under the War God's blessing, Xiao Wandie can be said to possess an immortal body!

Since obtaining the War God's spark and refining it, Xiao Wandie's combat strength and immortal body can be said to have risen to a higher level!

Even after experiencing many battles, with Gu Han's help, Bai Ce, who went through the long river of time to find the original black-robed swordsman for special training,

It is no easy feat to break Xiao Wandie's immortal body!

Under these circumstances, how difficult it is to break through Xiao Wandie's immortal body and truly kill him!

However, Bai Ce kept this in mind, nodded, and recorded the matter.

Afterwards, he and Xiao Wandie together led hundreds of Sheng Cheng guards to the training field!

With the help of the Myriad Paths Gate opened by An Jiannan, hundreds of people instantly vanished, heading to the vicinity of the Earth God!

What awaits them will be a bitter battle!

The War God is indeed powerful, but after being corrupted by the Black Tide, he lost his reason, and his fighting is utterly chaotic.

It relies entirely on overwhelming force with a single strike to suppress tenfold.

Even a powerful black-robed swordsman dare not lightly grasp its sharpness.

If it weren't for Xiao Wandie, who also possesses an immortal body, tightly entangling the War God,

we probably wouldn't even wait for Gu Han to find the War God's weakness and then return to reality!

But the Earth God relies on the advantage of walking upon the earth.

It can be said that every place is his home turf!

Thus the Earth God can avoid the harm of the Black Tide!

Therefore, even if Xiao Wandie becomes a demigod of the War God,

dealing with the Earth God still requires careful action!

If the Earth God escapes, wanting to find it again, which deliberately hides, would not be so easy!

So Bai Ce and Xiao Wandie need to bring along enough Sheng Cheng guards.

We must absolutely not give the Earth God any chance to escape!

As for Gu Han, he meanwhile lets the Kunpeng and Little Wolf practice, training Little Wolf's newly grasped ability over time.

As for himself, he went to the Golden Palace to seek Feng Yue Shan.

He will convey most of what happened after going to Fate Chong Yuan, aside from hidden details, to Feng Yue Shan.

This caused Feng Yue Shan to involuntarily Furrowed Brow, sitting in her spot and beginning to ponder.

What frightened her was not Gu Han's ability through the God of Ages, but that he knew everyone's past.

For Feng Yue Shan, even if Gu Han saw them wearing split-crotch pants, there would be no slightest reaction.

Moreover, in a sense, Gu Han can be considered their lifesaver!

If not for Gu Han, her and An Jiannan's souls would now be in peril!

As long as Gu Han does not stand opposed to the God‑Slaughter Journey, she can tolerate him doing anything!

Therefore, she has no doubt whatsoever about the truth of what Gu Han said.

"But even so, whether the God‑Slaughter Journey is a conspiracy orchestrated single‑handedly by the God of the Burdened World, or that the black‑robed swordsman is actually Bai Ce, it's hard for me to accept at once."

Recalling when Bai Ce first arrived at Sheng Cheng, he wore a yellow coarse hemp garment of the earth beast and purple long pants of the earth beast.

Such an outfit, if tossed into the crowd, would be impossible to pick out.

But because the God of the Burdened World issued a divine edict, it declared Bai Ce the sole savior of the Chong Yuan world.

As the Half-God of Romance, Feng Yue Shan represents aesthetics.

They then outfitted Bai Ce with a set of handsome, heroic armor that does not impede combat.

But Gu Han now tells her that the divine edict is false?

Is the God of the Burdened World actually the villain?

And the Black Tide that killed so many was actually stirred up by the savior Bai Ce himself?

This truly refreshes Feng Yue Shan's understanding!

That junior who constantly calls him 'teacher' is still naive.

Will he become a heaven‑standing, earth‑steadfast savior who personally kills his comrades and mentor?

This is also what Feng Yue Shan is considering for the long term.

Moreover, Gu Han owes Sheng Cheng an immense favor.

If these words came from anyone else,

Just the crime of desecrating the God of the Burdened World is enough to make them suffer death by a thousand cuts!

"Gu Han, it's not that I don't want to trust you, but I need to verify all this before deciding whether to change my next move!"

As for the method of verification, it's also very simple.

Just find Feng Xi and ask—then you'll know!

According to Gu Han, the light emanating from the current statue of the God of the Burdened World was fabricated by Feng Xi!

The authority of the Half‑God of Deceit is to deceive the world!

As long as everyone believes it to be true, the light of the God of the Burdened World protects the whole of Sheng Cheng.

Then the light of the God of the Burdened World will never fade!

She herself didn't even know that the light of the God of the Burdened World had already faded long ago!

Given Feng Xi's nature, she would never tell all this to Gu Han, someone she's only just met!

If Feng Xi herself admits all this, it would be enough to prove that everything Gu Han said is false!

That would mean.

They have walked a road spanning thousands of years.

It turns out they have been making a wedding dress for the God of the Burdened World!
