Chapter 392

Both Jiang Yu and the Ghost King concluded that the Ghost Emperor treated him differently, and the words he said when he was in a daze were intriguing. Gu Chen speculated that there might be a connection between the two.

The Ghost King was also curious. He had more questions than Gu Chen, including the origin of the Yellow Springs.

The Ghost Emperor didn't say anything. He returned to his original seat and looked at his crimson coffin in the Yellow Springs.

"Brother, do you want to buy candied hawthorn?"

The little girl in red moved closer to Gu Chen and asked.

Gu Chen was thinking about how to answer when the Ghost Emperor spoke. "Ignore her. She's just a strange soul that has been wandering here for thirty thousand years."

"Another thirty thousand years?"

The two's eyelids twitched. The Ghost Emperor just said he saw Gu Chen thirty thousand years ago, and now he said this. Could it be that he had lived for thirty thousand years?

"Although the lifespan of the ghost race is longer than that of the human race, it's definitely not ten thousand years. Even the Celestial Thearch only lived for nine thousand years. "

The Ghost King's eyes flashed. He said what he was thinking.

The Ghost Monarch harrumphed coldly. "You're a descendant of the ghost race. It's fine if you don't worship me, but you worship that human guy. The Celestial Thearch lived for nine thousand years. He's indeed unique among the human race, but I've lived for more than thirty thousand years. "

"That's impossible!" The Ghost King didn't believe him.

"What's impossible about it? You don't even know the true origin of your race, and you dare to judge me? "

The Ghost Emperor sneered.

The Ghost King's face turned red. He was speechless.

Gu Chen looked at the two. The Ghost King was a famous golden assassin in the underworld, but he was clearly weak in front of the Ghost Emperor. He was like a disobedient grandson being taught a lesson by an elder.

"This river is the legendary Yellow Springs, right? There's always been a legend among my race. It's said that it's the entrance to hell. I didn't expect it to really exist."

The Ghost King looked at the Yellow Springs. He had too many questions he wanted answers from the Ghost Emperor.

The Ghost Emperor glanced at him coldly. "Fine, since you've already seen its existence, there's no harm in telling you the truth."

The Ghost Emperor stood next to the Yellow Spring with his hands clasped behind his back.

"You're gravely mistaken if you think the Ghastly Ruins is our ancestral land. According to what you said, this Yellow Spring is the ancestral land. When you see it, you should kneel down and worship it. "

The Ghost Emperor mocked.

"It has been said for generations that the Ghost Ruins is our ancestral land. How could it be false?"

The Ghost King was indignant.

"Passed down from generation to generation? Let me ask you, have your elders ever told you how long I have lived? "

The Ghost Emperor's tone was indifferent.

"No one knows. Even the oldest person in the clan only said that you've lived for a long time."

The Ghost King hesitated.

"Of course, because no one has lived longer than me in the history of the ghost race. I am the first generation of the ghost race, it's just that you juniors don't remember."

The Ghost Monarch sighed and looked at the yellow spring with a look of reminiscence.

"Thirty thousand years ago, which is what people call the Great Ancient Era, this Yellow Spring descended from the sky and landed here. This was originally a prosperous ancient city, but because of this Yellow Spring's appearance, it was cursed. The humans in the city mutated in a very short period of time and became what people call the ghost race. "

"Because of this Yellow Spring, this place became a gathering place for the dead and spirits. As time passed, it became the Ghastly Ruins. The funny thing is, as time passed, the ghost race passed down the torch, but they forgot that they were the victims of this Yellow Spring and treated this place as their ancestral land. "

The Ghost Emperor's shocking words caused the Ghost King to be shocked. "Is what you said true?"

"Back then, when the Yellow Spring descended from the sky, I was only a child in the ancient city. I saw my home destroyed with my own eyes. Ever since that day, the world was shaken and an extremely terrifying war broke out … "

The Ghost Monarch sighed. He had stayed in the Ghastly Ruins for too long, and it had been a long time since he talked so much to someone.

He turned to look at Gu Chen again after he had started talking.

"You asked me if I've seen you before, were you referring to a year ago?"

Gu Chen shook his head, "Senior just said 85,555 years ago …"

"That's wrong. To be more precise, you have the aura of someone I met 85,555 years ago."

The Ghost Monarch's eyes were solemn, "85,555 years ago, not long after the Yellow Spring descended into the world, a war broke out. In that war, there was such a person who had an aura similar to yours."

"I was still young at the time, and soon after feeling that aura, I fainted and fell into the Yellow Spring. When I woke up, it was already many years later. I was pushed ashore by the Yellow Spring, and I grew from a child to an adult. The war that engulfed the entire continent had already ended while I was unconscious. "

"Many of my memories from 85,555 years ago are already blurred. I can't even remember what my parents looked like, but I have never forgotten your aura."

Gu Chen was shocked. The Ghost Monarch's words were so convincing, it didn't seem like he was lying!

"A year ago, junior accidentally entered the Ghastly Ruins. Senior let me go because of this?"

Gu Chen took a deep breath.

"You could say that," the Ghost Monarch didn't deny it.

"How did you live for so long?" Gu Chen emphasized, "No one in the world can escape the limit of lifespan."

This question involved the secrets of one's cultivation, so it was very disrespectful to ask it. However, the Ghost Monarch's words were too shocking, so Gu Chen couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of it.

Faced with this question, the Ghost Emperor did not hide anything. "There's a strange power in the Yellow Springs. I used it to turn myself into a half-human, half-corpse existence. That's how I obtained an almost endless lifespan."

Gu Chen and the Ghost Monarch recalled the Ghost Monarch's previous mummified appearance. In exchange for a longer lifespan, the Ghost Monarch probably sacrificed even more than the Celestial Emperor.

The two of them gradually believed the Ghost Monarch's words. This really was a monster that had lived for 85,555 years!

"Senior, junior has a request."

After understanding the secrets of the Yellow Spring, Gu Chen looked at the Ghost Monarch with a serious expression.

The Ghost Monarch's eyes seemed to see through everything as he replied calmly. "I understand why you're here. Although I'm in the Ghastly Ruins, it's not that I don't understand the changes on the continent."

Gu Chen's eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of anticipation.

"I let you go earlier, but that doesn't mean I'll help you. I severed Huangfu Qingming's karmic luck only because he swaggered into my territory, and I wanted to teach him a deep lesson. It wasn't because of you. "

"I've sealed myself here for many years, and I have no intention of leaving. The Yellow Spring Tower and I are no longer related, so there's no reason for me to help you."

The Ghost Monarch's cold attitude caused Gu Chen's heart to suddenly sink.

The Ghost Monarch drew a clear line between himself and the Yellow Spring Tower and explained that he didn't treat him differently. It was clear that the Ghost Monarch was trying to shut him up.

Gu Chen frowned. The Ghost Monarch's attitude was much more resolute than he had imagined.

"Gu Daozi, don't believe his nonsense. If there really wasn't any room for negotiation, he wouldn't have said so much just now. He rejected so decisively. I'm afraid he has a bigger plan! "
