Chapter 338: Fear

Translated by: La0o9

Over a hundred armed shuttles fill the sky.

The seawater below is currently rejecting my entry.

That detestable living person is hovering in the air, looking down on me.

For the first time in many years, the black cloaked skeleton was once again reminded how it feels to be cornered.

He panted heavily, then abruptly cursed: 「 Ask! Then get the fuck away from me! 」

“That’s more like it. Actually I also don’t want to keep pursuing you to death, it’s better if we don’t ever meet again after this” Gu Qing Shan smiled.

Hearing that managed to calm the black cloaked skeleton’s emotions a little bit.

He grinded his teeth: 「 We had better not. I never want to see your face ever again 」

Gu Qing Shan immediately asked something that he has been wondering about for a very long time.

In the past life, in merely half a day, the Human Realm was completely destroyed.

Who knows what kind of chaos would ensue from Huang Quan if there were more time.

This life, the Frozen Hell was already beginning to descend.

Then, what else would appear after that?

Gu Qing Shan kept having a dreadful premonition.

If Huang Quan truly does have a problem, then it might not be just one hell that descends on the Human Realm.

“There are probably other hells aside from the Frozen Hell in Huang Quan, correct?” he asked.

「 What a ridiculous question, of course there is more than one level of hell in Huang Quan 」the black cloaked skeleton answered.

This wasn’t anything that he had to hide.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.

He calmed himself down a bit before asking further: “After the Frozen Hell, will there be any other hells that descend on the Human Realm?”

The black cloaked skeleton sarcastically answered: 「 Do you know how deep hell is? I’m only a dead person, how would I travel freely between the hells? 」

「 I’ll tell you right now, I actually don’t know the situation of the other hells 」

Gu Qing Shan caught on to a clue.

“What exactly happened in Huang Quan?” he asked.

The black cloaked skeleton irritatedly spoke: 「 I can’t tell you what happened in Huang Quan 」

“Is that so? Then you’ll have to wait for my endless pursuit” Gu Qing Shan said.

The black cloaked skeleton shouted: 「 You can’t kill me! 」

“I’ll just keep sticking close to ensure you’ll never wake up” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.

「 I can tell you anything else, but definitely not about what happened in Huang Quan 」the black cloaked skeleton tried to compromise.

“You can’t tell me the truth… why is that?” Gu Qing Shan could feel his determination, so he decided to ask in a different way.

“——alright fine, I won’t ask what happened, but I want to know why you can’t tell me”

「 Because if I talk about it, I’ll be found out immediately 」the black cloaked skeleton’s face wasn’t able to hold any kind of expression.

But from his words and tone, Gu Qing Shan could feel fear.

When speaking about this subject, he started to feel fearful

“What are you afraid of? A dead person cannot die, what else could make you this frightened…” Gu Qing Shan muses over this.

Then he realized something and asked: “Could be it ——-if you talk about what happened in Huang Quan, you might be done for?”

The black cloaked skeleton hurriedly answered: 「 Permanently done for, no matter who it is, no matter how strong they are, as long as they dare to mention a word of this, they will be truly, erased without a trace 」

Gu Qing Shan went silent.

Why does this sound so familiar?

A certain image flashed in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

The bronze pillar.

“Who are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The large corpse answered: “You had better not know, once my name is spoken, both you and I will be discovered”

And then followed with another image.

In front of the mountaintop mansion.

「 I once hid away in the space vortex for over 10,000 years, but I can’t talk too much about that, lest a Divinity might sense it 」the Earth Sword spoke with its ringing voice.

After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan glanced at the black cloaked skeleton and asked: “You are afraid of the Divinity?”

The black cloaked skeleton looked at Gu Qing Shan in surprise, but stayed silent.

He only stared back at Gu Qing Shan with his two jet black eye sockets

Staying silent is also a form of confirmation.

His guess was correct.

He couldn’t say it because he’s afraid of Divinity.

Gu Qing Shan was confused: “Shouldn’t the Divinity be governing the hells of Huang Quan and arranging places for the dead?”

The black cloaked skeleton still said nothing, only stared at Gu Qing Shan and snickered lightly.

That snicker contained a hint of sorrow as well as a lot of sarcasm.

Gu Qing Shan noticed the implications of that and continued: “From your expression, I’m guessing Divinities aren’t behind this”

The black cloaked skeleton hung his head and said nothing.

Silent confirmation.

Another silent confirmation.

Once Gu Qing Shan understood, he started to silently thought about it.

Huang Quan… Divinity…

First of all, there is definitely something wrong with Huang Quan.

Next, Divinities aren’t responsible for managing the dead people, but he doesn’t know exactly what Divinities do.

Once again, due to his fear of the Divinities, the black cloaked skeleton refused to even say a word.

Finally, dead people can revive infinitely in hell to continue receiving the pain and suffering their sins brought.

A dead person can’t die again.

Then what exactly does a dead person fear?

“If what you said is true, Divinities aren’t responsible for dealing with the dead”

Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself: “Yet the Divinity cause you fear. If a once-undefeated person like you were to feel fear… then the Divinity should…”

「 Stop! Stop right there! Do not say another word! 」 the black cloaked skeleton yelled loudly.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

The black cloaked skeleton was panting heavily.

Looking closely, you could tell his entire body was trembling.

He was feeling fear so great that he couldn’t control his own bodily reflexes.

The black cloaked skeleton shook his head repeatedly: 「 You are a frightening living person. I’d rather fall into slumber again or even be pursued by you until the ends of the earth than to keep talking with you 」

“Why is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 Too dangerous! It’s too dangerous! Do you not understand! 」

The black cloaked skeleton’s tone contained an uncomfortable sense of immense fear.

He spoke in a low voice: 「 I really made a big mistake, I shouldn’t have tried to think of a way to descend so soon, I should’ve just waited until the Frozen Hell completely manifested on the Human Realm before I went out 」

He put his big hands on his own neck.

“You’re already returning?” Gu Qing Shan tried to keep him, “how about we keep talking a bit more? Truthfully, I still have a few questions —–“

The black cloaked skeleton violently cut him off and screamed in a frenzy: 「 No! I don’t want to say another word, or even show another expression to you! 」

He roared violently: 「 A monster such as you, when the Human Realm completely turns into hell, you won’t even get a chance to enter hell! 」

Saying so, the black cloaked skeleton twisted his own neck.

It’s dead.

——-it had once again fallen into a slumber of death.

“He ran” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He swung the Chao Yin Sword.

The ocean quickly calmed back down…

But Gu Qing Shan’s mentality wasn’t the least bit calm.

“When the Human Realm completely turns into hell, you won’t even get a chance to enter hell!”

The way he said that was full of fear and fright.

What exactly happened that a ruling monarch of countless years, who had continued his reign even in hell would show such emotions?

The black cloaked skeleton would rather go back to his slumber than to say anymore.

As a dead person, what exactly is he afraid of?

Can a Divinity kill a dead person?

Gu Qing Shan had a few guesses, but he had no way to confirm them.

There simply is too little intelligence, pitifully little.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and started contemplating about it.

It seems everything is even more frightening than I had imagined.

Not good, I’ll have to quickly seize the time for the next phase.
