Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

”In that case, I will let the Nine Yang Court know of your arrival,” the Sky God said. ”Do you want me to call the Artifact God as well?”

Alex thought for a moment and nodded. He had to meet her sooner or later to pass along her inheritance from Godslayer, so it would be better if he did it sooner rather than later.

”The Artifact God should have returned to the Golden Dao realm by now, so I should be able to contact her soon. But in case she is not there, you might have to wait for a longer period of time,” the Sky God said.

Alex didn’t really mind. As long as she arrived in the next few hundred years, it would be perfectly okay. There were still some 600 years before he had to go fulfill his promise with the Blue Silk Sect anyway.

Just then, he remembered something. ”The Golden Dao realm is right next to the Three Jewel World, is it not?” he asked.

”It is,” the Sky God said. ”Why do you ask?”

”Because I want to visit it,” Alex said. ”It should be opening in a few hundred years, isn’t it?”

”There should be about 120 years before it opens again. Do you wish to enter it?” the Sky God asked.

”I need to,” Alex said, explaining no further.

”I assume you already have a ticket?” she asked.

Alex shook his head. ”Sadly, I wasn’t in a place where I could acquire the tickets, so I missed out on the opportunity,” he said. Although, he didn’t actually know if that place had tickets or not, since he didn’t know anything about his missing memories.

The Sky God fell into thought. ”I can ask my subordinates to see if they can find an extra ticket somewhere, but it might be difficult, if I am to be truthful,” she said. ”The tickets usually sell out within the first hundred years of being found. After that, people pretty much never sell their tickets. So coming across one at this stage would be difficult.”

”I will thank you all the same, Your Majesty,” Alex said. He had a chance to get one from the Winterborn Dragons, but he had no intention of using his authority to take away something that was clearly not his. They had found it, so they deserved to use it.

The Sky God sighed. ”The Godkiller is a figure far too big for anyone to miss out on the chance of visiting his tomb,” she said. She looked to the side, staring at a certain location in the distance. ”I still remember the day he came here, causing a stir among the gods that were present.”

Bladedance held a strange look on her face, as though she remembered the barest inklings of what she was talking about.

”I was here that day,” she said softly as she remembered some of it.

”You were,” the Sky God said. ”It was during one of the final few war councils between the gods. He used the opportunity to attack us.”

Alex frowned slightly. What was she talking about? Wasn’t it the gods that had invited the Godkiller back then, framing his actions as an act against them and doling out punishment with their authority?

”I do remember fighting him,” Bladedance said as she slowly nodded, remembering the past.

”You fought the Godkiller?” Alex asked, even more surprised. She had never talked about it before.

”I think I did,” Bladedance said. ”I can barely remember flashes of that time, though.”

”You did, and so did many of the gods that were there that day,” the Sky God reminded her. ”We were all surprised that day when we killed him.”

Alex paused. ”Killed him?”

He only belatedly realized that the Sky God was not talking about the infamous event during which the Sage of Ten Thousand Treasures had upturned the council of gods, killing many of them, including some Half-Gods, as well as the Sky God himself.

That was what had bugged him with her recollection of the event. The current Sky God should not have been present during that time. In the same way, Bladedance shouldn’t have been present either, since it was a previous Sword God who had caused the entire thing to happen.

The Godkiller had killed the gods. And then, he had returned again, at which point the later gods had killed him.

Of course, the Godkiller had only faked his death to stop the others from coming after him. If he went by Bai Jingshen’s information, it was after he finished creating the tomb that he faked his death and went to the forests of the Black and White continent in the Land of the Blessed Sun, where he met up with Bai Jingshen.

”Of course,” the Sky God continued, ”it was a setup. He made us believe he was dead, causing us to believe he kept the secrets to his freakish power in that tomb. It took ages for us to even realize he wasn’t dead.”

”And the Divination God was working along with him the entire time,” Bladedance said.

”Yes,” the Sky God said as she let out a sigh. ”I couldn’t believe it when he told me the truth. How did you find out?”

”The Godkiller took what I could only describe as an outer disciple during the next hundred thousand years after his supposed death. We heard from him,” she said.

The Sky God’s eyes widened with no small hint of surprise. ”The Godkiller took in a disciple?”

Bladedance nodded.

”Is he a freak like the Godkiller too?” she asked, quite clearly worried.

”No, he was pretty normal,” Bladedance said.

It was true that Bai Jingshen was normal when compared to someone like the Godkiller, but Bladedance hadn’t remained there long enough to know more about him. If she had seen him do the things he could do, he couldn’t guarantee that she would be saying this at all.

”Well, then that’s fine,” the Sky God said. ”The Godkiller is no longer around anymore, so he is no longer a threat to anyone. With Godslayer gone, that issue has been resolved too. Now, all that is left is to deal with these so-called Godbreakers.”
