Chapter 2118 - 107: Heavenly Sheath Sword Drawing (2)

Gu Shen from the Heavenly Sheath, actually drew out a mass of scarlet and burning "sword shape."

This long and narrow sword shape was only pulled out an inch when Gu Shen promptly stopped.

He silently exerted force with his palm, holding the hilt of the sword, sending this mass of sword shape back in.

The Heavenly Sheath no longer trembled.

The trembling of the entire tundra also ceased.

But... everyone saw this scene of drawing the sword.

"There actually is a sword here..."

The traveller’s face turned pale; he had never taken the stories circulating in the East Continent seriously.

Because he knew what kind of power the Heavenly Sheath Fragment truly held.

This Heavenly Sheath, just like the ’Extinguishing Candle,’ was nothing more than a special rule fragment born under the influence of powerful extraordinary power.

For this reason, he chose to send the ’Extinguishing Candle’ into it.

But today, Gu Shen hit him in the face with actual action; there was indeed a sword hidden within the Heavenly Sheath.

The existence of such a sword could fool all the Divine Thrones for six hundred years.

The traveller vaguely felt that the quality of this sword might be higher than that of the ’Extinguishing Candle.’

Now he understood why Gu Shen suggested that he cultivate for a few more years before challenging...

Indeed.

In his current state, facing Gu Shen, he had no chance of winning at all.

But in a few years, would there really be any chance of winning?

Having witnessed this divine miracle of drawing the sword, the traveller... felt unprecedented confusion.

He even gave birth to a rather absurd thought.

If Gu Shen were to lead everyone against the super giant source material storm,

perhaps, there would really be a chance to win?

...

...

"...Opened my eyes."

Bai Xiu stood beside Gu Shen the whole time, watching Gu Shen draw the sword.

It was only after Gu Shen pushed the sword shape back into the Heavenly Sheath that he spoke these three words.

To receive such an evaluation from Bai Xiu,

in the entire Five Continents, only Gu Shen could.

Just a few days ago, he had pulled out the traveller’s hidden ’Extinguishing Candle’ from the Heavenly Sheath... During that draw, he hadn’t noticed any anomaly inside the Heavenly Sheath!

"This isn’t my doing; someone already gave a hint."

Gu Shen shook his head and said softly, "Mr. Gu Changzhi had once stood beneath the Heavenly Sheath for a whole day and night."

Reflecting now.

Every step Gu Changzhi took, every deed he did... was actually borrowing the power of ’destiny’ to leave hints for those who came after him.

In that era, the sparks were incomplete.

And Gu Shen was very fortunate; he inherited Mr. Gu Changzhi’s ’will’ and welcomed the right era.

"Since you succeeded in drawing the sword, why send it back?" Bai Xiu seemed a little puzzled.

He still held the ’Extinguishing Candle’ in his hand.

"If not for the sake of the sword, why draw it?" Gu Shen laughed, "In today’s peaceful world, is there an enemy worthy of me drawing the sword?"

Saying this, he glanced at the traveller on the ground.

The latter shook his head repeatedly, indicating he wasn’t eager to exercise his so-called right to challenge.

"...Indeed."

Bai Xiu sighed lightly.

Now that the entire Five Continents is at peace and the flames of war have ceased, it’s an enormous blessing.

Why draw the sword if there’s no need to wield it?

With Gu Shen’s prowess, perhaps only a fully revived Qinglong could match such a move as "Heavenly Sheath Sword Drawing."

"When I returned from the Old World to the Five Continents, my biggest worry was reaching the Ice Sea and finding that the war had ended, and the allied forces had entirely collapsed."

Gu Shen said softly, "The tides of the world are like a flood; no matter how strong one is, one is ultimately just one person."

Perhaps it’s heaven’s favor, destiny’s compassion.

The worst didn’t happen.

Gu Shen wouldn’t mind having a fight with Qinglong; if upon returning to the Five Continents, a hard battle was indeed to be had, not just one, but even if it was to replicate a Divine War at the Source Tower and fight for three to five years, he wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest.

But if there’s a chance not to fight, who would want to?

The world at peace, with all beings unharmed.

From the Ice Sea, to the Northern Border, to the exiled void, and back to the Ice Sea...

What kind of ending could be worthy of such a journey filled with upheaval and struggles?

This world has countless heroes who’ve bent to serve human fate, giving their lives in the process.

Because of this, Gu Shen, who returned to the Five Continents, felt from the bottom of his heart, fortunate and comforted... the world didn’t collapse with him absent.

Bai Xiu, Meng Xizhou, Gu Nanfeng... the three major families, four great legions, the Light Temple, the Night Watchman, countless ’heroes,’ supported this war with their backs.

"It’s fine to leave this sword here."

Gu Shen laughed at himself and said, "If it’s possible, I wish the calculations of Deep Sea were also wrong, so that in seven years I wouldn’t need to draw the sword... I even hope that such a super giant source material storm never existed in the first place, that the ’greatest disaster’ humanity worries about is nothing more than a false alarm, so that in my lifetime, I would never need to draw the sword."

The two stood in the wind and snow, looking at the colossal stone sword reaching the sky.

And looking at humanity’s future of veiled uncertainty.

The mist rolled in again, making everything blur.

Recollecting their first meeting, it was also through thick fog, back then Gu Shen was on the mountain, Bai Xiu at the foot of it.

Now, the two stood side by side, both at the ’summit.’

"There are still seven years; how do you plan to spend the time?"

Bai Xiu turned his head to look at Gu Shen.

He knew that Gu Shen had already given the Netherworld Fire to Mu Wanqiu...

Because he had already fused with the ’Netherworld Fire,’ Gu Shen for this life could not become the master of any other spark.

Among the twelve sparks, the most lethal ’Hunting Spark’ naturally also had no fate with him.
