Chapter 2066 - 85: Breaking the Wall (Part 3)_2

Gu Xiaoman spoke expressionlessly: "I’m a straightforward person, quick to act, and do whatever I want without procrastination."

"No wonder Lord Divine holds you in such high regard."

Gu Xi chuckled and said, "If you hadn’t been foolish and stayed in Central Continent, then by now, you would have been the head of the ’Wine Spark’ and sat on that unrivaled throne above tens of thousands."

"Really?"

Gu Xiaoman also chuckled, but her smile was full of mockery: "If I had stayed in Central Continent, that would have been true foolishness, wouldn’t it? I remember very clearly, you all once... seemed to want to bury me along with my coffin."

With a bang!

The coffin was detached and smashed heavily into the rain!

Gu Xi squinted his eyes, still smiling: "So, you’re back today with this coffin for revenge?"

He thought the girl in front of him was quite amusing.

Nowadays, the tall walls of Central Continent have been breached, and top-tier strong people can certainly sneak into Central Continent unnoticed... But who would choose to enter Upper City after successfully infiltrating?

Gu Xi saw that in just five years, Gu Xiaoman’s power had skyrocketed. No wonder the super genius with "S-grade" potential now probably had a slight edge against a Titled Transcendent, only this strength... was not enough in Upper City, where the mightiest ruler in Five Continents sat atop the high tower ahead!

"It’s not revenge."

Gu Xiaoman shook her head calmly and said: "I just want to take back what’s mine."

"What’s yours?"

Gu Xi paused for a second, then smiled and asked: "Is there anything here that belongs to you?"

"Wine Spark, I came to Central Continent... just to take away my Wine Spark."

Gu Xiaoman said softly, "I want to ascend the Source Tower, to the highest level."

This absurd conversation made Gu Xi rub his brow in disbelief.

He heaved a long sigh.

Moved silently two steps sideways, blocking the middle of the alley.

Gu Xi shook his head at the little figure in front and mocked, "Do you think it’s possible?"

Not to mention the highest level of the Source Tower.

This place is the boundary; ahead, in the core zone of the splendid high tower, it’s an absolute forbidden area where no one can set foot!

"Good dogs don’t block the way."

In Gu Xiaoman’s eyes, there was no Gu Xi, only the high tower.

Pressing the coffin, she murmured, "I’ll give you ten breaths, get away from me."

Gu Xi dismissed it, still full of ridicule, smiling as he asked.

"Or what?"

...

...

With a boom.

A muffled sound echoed from the top of the Source Tower, a large coffin pierced into the clouds.

Gu Xiaoman, carrying the coffin, ascended to the top of the Source Tower, she pressed the dark coffin before her, gazing at the ethereal Divine Domain shrouded in ice flakes and clouds, furrowing her brow as she surveyed, finally locking eyes on the jet-black throne at the end of the domain, countless clouds enwrapped the throne, but faintly visible, a towering figure sat upon it.

The aura from that figure, even from hundreds of meters away, brought innate fear.

One glance, and one couldn’t help but want to kneel down and worship!

But Gu Xiaoman took a deep breath.

From her sleeves, a faint golden brilliance emanated... This golden brilliance stemmed from her heart, like a warm sun, vibrating in tandem with her heartbeat, each pulse emitting a weak glow, dispelling these dark and sinister energies.

"Look, what did I just see... a Titled Transcendent confronting an Origin Strong People, that probably counts as a ’Divine Miracle’?"

Qinglong’s teasing voice rang at Skytop.

Beside Gu Xiaoman floated a Cloud Mirror, broadcasting the alley battle that erupted minutes ago.

This battle was absurdly simple!

Right after Gu Xi uttered "Or what," Gu Xiaoman grabbed the coffin and charged forward, with more than ten years of training in boxing, yet this time she didn’t assume a boxing stance, like street hooligans brawling with weapons, and Gu Xiaoman’s "weapon" was that hefty coffin.

As for the move, it was simply "hit upon meeting."

That coffin was akin to a brick, swung by her and smashed onto Gu Xi’s Heavenly Spirit!

Strangely...

Gu Xi was directly hammered to the ground!

He didn’t dodge.

A distinguished Origin Strong Person, faced with a rookie like Gu Xiaoman, why would one need to dodge?

Just as Gu Xi was preparing to unleash his Original Authority, all his power was emptied in an instant.

By the time he sensed something was wrong, it was too late.

The speed of that coffin’s attack was too fast, so fast that Gu Xi’s face changed dramatically, was knocked down, and then [Dissolving Dream] was activated. Without any hesitation, Gu Xiaoman stuffed Gu Xi into her coffin. After taking down this Origin Strong Person, she carried her black coffin again and walked "openly" into the Source Tower...

Gu Xi was curious earlier, during the special period of war outbreak, how Gu Xiaoman managed to sneak into Upper City in just three days.

Actually, Gu Xiaoman’s method was very simple.

Choose an entrance on the map, then draw a straight line from Upper City to the entrance, and then... just walk over.

With [Dissolving Dream] blurring the reality and Dream World, under the current Source Tower, except for those few Origins, no one could stop Gu Xiaoman in her "Dissolving Dream Walking" state!

"Flattered."

Gu Xiaoman replied coolly.

Fighting an Origin with a Titled... such a Divine Miracle, even if she’s a genius, she can’t achieve it.

The reason she ignored Gu Xi is because she holds in her hand a power stronger than Gu Xi.

That letter left behind by Mr. Gu Changzhi.

It has been ignited and driven by her spiritual power, but Gu Xiaoman uses it conservatively, only burning a moment of Divine Power during the coffin strike!

So, this is not a titled against an Origin, but a Divine Throne against an Origin!

Faced with the "relic" of Mr. Gu Changzhi, mere Gu Xi, what can he block with?

Qinglong looked at the girl in front of him, eyes full of smile, yet there was no anger in this smile.

He knew.

Gu Xiaoman had betrayed him since the outbreak of the Divine War... and also betrayed the Source Tower.

But this didn’t surprise him.

He always knew, this girl’s ten-ounce flesh, nine ounces are rebellious bones, the number one disciple taught by the Red Dragon, how could she be a "loyal believer" of the Source Tower?

"Did you come for this?"

The man sitting on the Throne leaned forward slightly, extended his hand.

A purple glow ignited in his palm!

That glow possessed a charm beyond mortal rules, making anyone unable to look away with just one glance—

But Gu Xiaoman squinted her eyes, took just one look, then lowered her head, quickly calming her chaotic breathing.

Yes.

She came for the "Wine Spark."

But also not just for the "Wine Spark!"

Her entry to the Source Tower, besides "Wine Spark," has a more important mission!

That is to observe the Divine War situation.

Because the Forbidden Book Tower in Meng Xizhou foretold the Divine War outcome in divination... So Gu Xiaoman knew in her heart, Mr. Bai Shu and Empress Lin Lei are most likely already defeated by Qinglong, but there are many ways to lose a Divine War, only by stepping into the Divine Domain can one see the truest picture.

She saw two blocks of ice, two large blocks of ice.

Mr. Bai Shu and Empress Lin Lei were frozen in these blocks of ice!

"You are the successor I value most, without exception."

Qinglong did not withdraw the Wine Spark, he rested his chin while watching the girl in front of him, speaking softly: "I set my eyes on you at Sangzhou Cave... There’s no more perfect ’Flame Container’ than you in this world, I’ve never seen a spark choose its owner in advance. After you left the Source Tower, for five whole years, Deep Sea matched millions in the database, none could achieve what you did back then."

His eyes were full of appreciation.

But this kind of appreciation feels more like gazing at a perfect artwork.

"The Wine Spark... only recognizes you."

Qinglong smiled: "Now, as long as you nod, I can hand this spark over to you. With your talent, it won’t take long to perfectly fuse it, right?"

"You’re not that kind of person."

Gu Xiaoman surveyed the Throne expressionlessly.

She shook her head, said: "If you wanted to give me this spark, you wouldn’t have waited until today."

"Of course."

Qinglong chuckled speechlessly, he watched the tempting glow of the Wine Spark, softly said: "I’ve always been a selfish person, actually, a bit of selfishness isn’t bad... Gu Xiaoman, as long as you are willing to be under my command, then as promised, this spark can immediately be handed to you."

"Don’t you really want this war to end?"

Qinglong raised his eyebrows, lifted his hand, "Once you nod, I can end this war in the most dignified way. I only kill those who should be killed."
