Chapter 772: I’ve Already Told You

A coin was constantly spinning in the air.

When it fell back down, a hand caught it.

The figure of light.

He held the coin, carefully sensing the power changing in it.

「 How is it? 」 the Golden Flame Divinity asked.

「 The coin has regained its power, it can now be used 」the figure of light nodded.

「 Then what are we waiting for, let’s go! 」

The Golden Flame Divinity urged.

The figure of light held the Desolate coin in hand and spoke seriously: 「 No need to care about anything inside those phantom images, our only goal is to find that human——– to capture him, or kill him 」

「 Naturally 」the Golden Flame Divinity replied.

Hearing that, the figure of light nodded and activated the coin.

Power flowed from the coin, covering both it and the Golden Flame Divinity.

Hoh——–

Under the coin’s guidance, the Golden Flame Divinity and the figure of light traveled through the thick fog of space-time, crossing over countless phantom images of the Age of Old and finally arrived at a certain phantom image.

The Primordial Heaven Realm.

Two clusters of light appeared out of nowhere on the ground.

The Golden Flame Divinity.

The figure of light.

The two of them landed inside a ruin.

「 Which era is this? 」the Golden Flame Divinity looked around and asked.

「 Let’s find a Divine Palace and ask 」the figure of light replied.

The two of them took flight, going past the clouds above and entered the deepest place in the invisible void of space.

Their bodies slowly faded as if they had entered another dimension.

A few moments later.

The figure of light and Golden Flame Divinity both reappeared.

「 There was no one in the Divine Palace, that didn’t happen too many times during history 」the Golden Flame Divinity commented.

「 Indeed, let us find a nearby human cultivator sect and ask 」the figure of light suggested.

The two of them stood still in the sky, sensing something.

「 Southeast, there are waves of formulaic spirit energy, must be a formation arranged by some human cultivators 」

「 Let’s go 」

…

The Golden Flame Divinity glanced at the human cultivator below and spoke: 「 That is to say, the Drifting Moon Immortal Sect had already been destroyed? 」

“That is indeed what happened, great God” a human cultivator respectfully reported.

The figure of light asked: 「 Are there any news from the frontlines? 」

The human cultivator replied: 「 Today is the day of the decisive battle, all the Gods have descended on the frontlines, and so have the strongest cultivators of humanity 」

The Golden Flame Divinity exchanged glances.

They now knew which point in history this was.

「 Well done, you may leave 」the figure of light dismissed him.

The human cultivator respectfully bowed and was about to leave.

「 Wait! 」the Golden Flame Divinity called him back.

「 I ask you, have there been any strange occurrences lately? 」he asked.

“Strange occurrences? What do you mean, God…?” the cultivator was clueless.

The Golden Flame Divinity realized that he was a bit too impatient.

「 It’s nothing, you can leave 」he waved his hand dismissively.

The human cultivator once again bowed and took flight towards the horizon.

The figure of light shook his head: 「 If you want to know about strange occurrences within this era, there is no need to ask these people. Both you and I know very well what happened in the past, if anything happened differently from what we know, that would naturally be that human’s fault 」

「 Right, I’m just a bit impatient. I could have found that out myself without asking 」the Golden Flame Divinity replied.

「 What do you think we should do now? Go to the frontlines? 」the figure of light asked.

「 Indeed, but we must be careful 」

「 Why? 」

「 Even if this is only a phantom image, this era was very dangerous 」the Golden Flame Divinity’s voice was a bit unnatural.

The figure of light questioned: 「 You are talking about… the Lord of Desolation? 」

The Golden Flame Divinity added: 「 And that spear as well 」

「 During this period of time, I am a Divinity who hasn’t appeared before, while you are the collective consciousness of the Divinities in the past. What do you think the Lord of Desolation is going to do to us if he discovered us? 」

The figure of light froze.

He muttered: 「 Indeed, the Lord of Desolation once found out about our plan by himself, but we still don’t know how he discovered the Samsara 」

The Golden Flame Divinity continued: 「That’s why it would be very dangerous for us to go to the frontlines right now 」

At this point, silence filled the air.

This was a part of history recorded by both the Divine race and the Desolate race.

On this day, the Lord of Desolation wielded a 7-colored spear and easily eliminated the Divine King with it.

For Divinities as a whole, this was a deep-rooted fear that didn’t go away.

Even after several ten thousand years, the Golden Flame Divinity still didn’t think for a second that he could face the Lord of Desolation.

A few moments later.

The Golden Flame Divinity spoke up: 「 But since we’re here to capture someone, we have to go even if we don’t want to 」

The figure of light agreed: 「 If that human runs off to the Primordial Wraith Realm again, it will take a lot of manpower to attack the Wraith realm 」

The Golden Flame Divinity suggested: 「 Let’s go and conceal ourselves somewhere near the frontlines. After we confirmed that the Desolate world and Heaven realm have separated, we can meet up with the other Divinities 」

「 Why in so much of a hurry? 」the figure of light asked.

「 That human is very slippery, I can faintly sense that something isn’t right 」the Golden Flame Divinity replied: 「 As you said, we don’t need to care about what happened in this phantom image of the past. We need to obtain the total cooperation of all Divinities and smoke that human out as soon as possible 」

The figure of light muses: 「 You mean——– 」

「 Indeed, I will tell all the Divinities of this time about the future. I want them to help me capture that human right away! 」the Golden Flame Divinity declared.

「 Then let us go now 」the figure of light replied.

The two of them lightly leapt to the air and headed for the frontlines.

A few moments later.

The war between the two worlds gradually reached an end.

The Lord of Desolation’s declaration echoed across two worlds: 『 Foolish beings, you will do well to remember today’s lesson! 』

Rumble!

The earth shook.

The two worlds began to drift apart.

At this point, in a concealed place on the frontlines.

The Golden Flame Divinity and the figure of light were patiently waiting.

After they sensed that the Desolation world had indeed left, they both sighed in relief.

It was now time for them to act.

「 What do you intend to do now? 」the figure of light asked.

「 Go straight to where the Divine King fell. At this point, all the members of our race should have gathered there by now 」the Golden Flame Divinity replied.

「 That is true, at this point, the Divine King’s death had only just been found out, so everyone should be heading for that place 」

「 I think it was the Cold Jade Forest? 」

「 Indeed 」

They both disappeared from their hiding places.

A few dozen seconds later.

Cold Jade Forest.

All of the Divinities were gathered there.

The God of Frost and Chill was lying in a pool of blood, being treated by two Divinities.

Not too far away from where he was, the Divine King was still stiffly kneeling on the ground, hanging his head.

The God of Frost and Chill had just finished narrating the story of how the Divine King died.

「The Lord of Desolation was angry that we created a Samsara」

「As you can see, the Lord of Desolation used his spear to kill our king」

A Divinity couldn’t help asking: 「 Was the battle intense? Why didn’t we sense anything? 」

The God of Frost and Chill scowled and opened his mouth.

When he was about to answer this, a voice came from above.

「 No, the battle was not intense. The Lord of Desolation only used his spear to stab the Divine King twice——– once would have been enough, but because the Lord of Frost and Chill’s interference, the Lord of Desolation sent him flying before stabbing the Divine King again 」

The Golden Flame Divinity and the figure of light both descended.

No Divinity had ever seen them before.

They were two unknown existences, but the Divinities could sense the aura of their own race from them.

This aura could not be faked.

So the Divinities didn’t attack right away.

「 Who are you? 」a Divinity shouted.

The Golden Flame Divinity replied: 「 This one next to me came from your future a few years from now, while I came from the future a few ten thousand years later 」

The Divinities fell silent.

「 I seem to recall that we never managed to solve the secret of time travel 」a Divinity asked doubtfully.

The figure of light tossed a coin into the air.

——-the Desolate coin!

Every Divinity looked at the coin in the air.

For a few seconds, everyone went quiet.

The residue power of space-time lingered around the coin, clear enough for anyone to see.

「 This coin should be more than enough to prove our identities, and you all should know quite well how a collective consciousness like myself was created 」the figure of light told them.

The Divinities exchanged looks.

A few Divinities already began to nod in agreement.

At this point, the God of Frost and Chill ignored his wounds and suddenly shouted: 「 This can’t be right, why did the two of you appear right after the Divine King died? 」

The figure of light and Golden Flame Divinity both froze.

This was an awkward question for them.

Brethren from the future.

What a grand title indeed, but this question perfectly hit where it hurts the most.

——–if you came from the future, why didn’t you prevent the Divine King’s death?

The Golden Flame Divinity took a deep breath and answered: 「 Listen, even I don’t have any way to go against the Lord of Desolation, so I could only choose to appear at this point in time 」

He continued to explain: 「 Look, I’ve already explained the Divine King’s death before you manage to do so, that should be enough to prove my identity 」

「No, that is far from enough」 the God of Frost and Chill insisted: 「Aside from myself, the Lord of Desolation also knows about the Divine King’s death, what if you’re his people?」

「 I still have a way——- 」

While the Golden Flame Divinity tried to explain, the God of Frost and Chill had already cut him off: 「Only after you tell us everything about what happened after today and we confirmed it to be true can you be trusted」

The Golden Flame Divinity chuckled: 「 Only something that simple? 」

He pointed at a Divinity clad in divine light and spoke: 「 Strength God, after the God of Frost and Chill fully recovered from his wounds, you attempted to compete against him for the position of Divine King, but you lost 」

「 The reason you lost was that you didn’t know he had a Divine Craft that specifically counters your power 」

「 The God of Frost and Chill’s Divine Craft was something he came up with through imitating the Ice techniques of a certain powerful human from the Bygone Era 」

The Golden Flame Divinity turned to the other side and looked at the God of Frost and Chill: 「 I’m not wrong, am I? That technique of yours should be called the [Silent Seal], the most mysterious technique among Ice-type Divine Crafts 」

The God of Frost and Chill appeared surprised and exclaimed: 「How did you know that!?」

The Golden Flame Divinity stared at the God of Frost and Chill with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

These old fogeys from the Age of Old are certainly strong, but they were too stubborn, their heads weren’t really the best either.

「 What? Do you need me to say the characteristics and weaknesses of the [Silent Seal] as well? 」

The Golden Flame Divinity slightly raised his voice.

The God of Frost and Chill quickly shook his head.

The Golden Flame Divinity silently felt a bit more disdain.

—–but this old fogey is still the next Divine king, and to find that human, I need the help of the God of Frost and Chill.

With that in mind, the Golden Flame Divinity’s tone mellowed out a bit: 「 I’ve already told you, I came from the future 」
