The people around were shocked at Jiang Haoâs strength.
Although they knew Jiang Hao was strong, they hadnât expected him to be this extraordinary.
A single slash cut through the corpse and the corpse was shattered.
Even if they were given time to prepare, they wouldnât be able to do it.
This person didnât need any preparation at all.
The gap of strength between them was evident.
Among them, Shujin was the most shocked.
Jiang Hao had told him that if he had any extra questions, he would help ask them.
At first, he thought Jiang Hao was offering to be polite.
It seemed he was actually being serious.
Ten questionsâŚ
It was simply unbelievable.
The members of The End of All Things looked at Jiang Hao. They didnât know what to think.
The people of the Great Thousand God Sect looked wary.
They were not on good terms with Smiling San Sheng.
The strength the person had shown was a warning that he could kill them easily.
Jiang Hao stood still and looked at Old Man Corpse Sea.
He couldnât see through his thoughts, so he could only wait and follow the rules set by him.
He was somewhat curious about the strength of the person before him.
But it seemed this old man had a high influence. If discovered, it would be very dangerous.
He could only wait for an opportunity.
Since he had advanced to another realm, appraising Hong Yuye might reveal more information. However, he might be discovered, so he didnât dare to do it.
Maybe when Hong Yuye was asleep, he could try it.
At that moment, seawater covered Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye.
They seemed to have entered a palace formed by the seawater.
Old Man Corpse Sea sat at the highest point of that palace and looked down.
âYou are more capable than I thought. I thought you were just slightly stronger than the others.â
âI got lucky, Senior,â Jiang Hao said respectfully.
âWhat question do you want to ask?â Old Man Corpse Sea spoke calmly.
âCan I ask any question?â
âYes, and that counts as the first question.â
Jiang Hao was quite surprised. It didnât matter. He still had nine questions left.
âI want to know what the members of The End of All Things asked,â said Jiang
Hao.
The question surprised Old Man Corpse Sea.
He looked at the person below and said with a smile. âYou want to know their message?â
Jiang Hao nodded.
Since he had seen them, he had to ask.
He didnât mind, but Hong Yuye would.
It was better to ask sooner rather than later to show her that he was serious about finding the person behind the stone tablet.
âThe members of The End of All Things said they would find a body for me so I can go out of the Corpse Sea to the outside world.â Old Man Corpse Sea chuckled. âTheir request was simple. They wanted me to help them attract the water of the Corpse Sea.â
âWhat will happen then?â Jiang Hao asked.
âThe water of the Corpse Sea is extremely complex, but the members of The End of All Things want to use the death aura of the Corpse Sea to awaken a corpse. This corpse has self-awareness but is still dead. Once it awakens, it desires to be resurrected, which would require it to devour endless living beings, â Old Man Corpse Sea said.
âSenior, did you agree or refuse them?â Jiang Hao asked. âIs that the fourth question?â Old Man Corpse Sea asked.
âYes.â Jiang Hao nodded.
âI agreed,â Old Man Corpse Sea said.
Jiang Hao wasnât surprised by this.
Everyone had choices to make and their own reason for making them.
Although this clearly involved the life and death of others on earth, why would these powerful individuals care about them?
Not everyone would be affected by the deaths and struggles of others around them.
With the earth shattered and its creatures suffering, what could be done?
After ages, the earth would rejuvenate, and life would thrive again.
Who cared if there were creatures that died and new creatures were born?
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. He was also just one of the countless beings without value.
He wanted to break free from this cycle.
Jiang Hao at least wanted to be able to protect himself.
Very few could sympathize with the suffering of others.
Even fewer were those who could genuinely take action for the sake of others.
That was why the Human Emperor was born in the first place.
He was different from everyone else, was revered by all races, and loved by humans.
So, he fought for everyone against formidable enemies.
There was only one Human Emperor.
There were many powerful beings who disregarded all living things. Jiang Hao didnât know what his future would be like. Perhaps he would also become one of them.
âSix questions remaining.â
âWhere is that corpse?â
âWest, Sky Sea Forest. Five questions remaining.â
Jiang Hao didnât ask any more questions but intended to find out more about the Corpse Sea.
âWhat happens if the border of the Corpse Realm is closed, and I cross over?â
âYou will stay in the Black Sea. After the Corpse Realm closes, the Black Sea becomes the Corpse Realm and covers everything like a tide.â
âWhat happens if I enter the Black Sea?â
âI donât know. Iâve never been inside, but Iâve observed it. Thereâs a possibility of entering another world. Of course, thereâs a higher chance of being devoured by the Black Sea. Three more questions.â
Jiang Hao fell silent for a moment.
He was thinking about whether he should ask more about the Black Sea. But he realized that even if he asked, the old man might not know anything.
So, there was no need to ask.
After that, he thought about Heavenly Stele Mountain.
âWhat will happen if one leaves an image at Heavenly Stele Mountain?
âThere are many theories about it, but the most likely one is that the person might have a chance to struggle for survival in the Black Sea or have the
qualifications to enter the Black Sea. Two more questions.â The qualification to enter the Black SeaâŚ
That was good news, but it was still only a possibility.
âLetâs say someone saw people at a certain place in the Corpse Realm and heard the conversation of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe⌠Are they real or just an illusion?â
