Jiang Yu and the Ghost King both concluded that the Ghost Emperor treated them differently, and what he said when he was unconscious just now was intriguing. Gu Chen deduced that there might be a connection between the two.
The Ghost King was also very curious. He had more questions than Gu Chen, including the origin of Huangquan here.
Without saying a word, the Ghost Emperor walked back to where he was sitting, looking at his own vermilion coffin in the underworld.
"Brother, do you want to buy candied haws on a stick?"
The little girl in red approached Gu Chen again and asked.
Gu Chen was just thinking about how to answer when he heard the Ghost Emperor speak. "Ignore her, she is just a strange soul that has been wandering here for 30,000 years."
"Another thirty thousand years?"
Their eyelids twitched. Just now the Ghost Emperor said that he met Gu Chen 30,000 years ago, and now he is saying that. Could it be that he has lived for 30,000 years?
"Although my ghost clan's longevity is longer than that of the human clan, it will never reach ten thousand years. Even the Emperor of Heaven only lived nine thousand years."
The Ghost King's eyes flickered and he simply said what he was thinking.
Hearing this, the Ghost Emperor snorted coldly. "You are also a descendant of my ghost clan. If you don't respect me, forget it. Instead, you worship that guy from the human race. The Emperor of Heaven lived for nine thousand years, which is indeed unique among the human races in the mainland. But
In terms of years of existence in the world, I have exceeded thirty thousand years."
"This is impossible!" The Ghost King looked unbelieving.
"What's impossible? You don't even know the true origins of your own ethnic group, so you dare to make false remarks about me?"
The Ghost Emperor sneered.
The Ghost King couldn't help but blush and became speechless.
Gu Chen watched the conversation between the two. The Ghost King was usually a famous golden killer in the dark world, but in front of the Ghost Emperor, he was obviously weak, just like a disobedient grandson being taught a lesson by his elders.
"This river is the legendary Huangquan. There has always been a legend about it in our clan, saying that it is the entrance to hell. I didn't expect it to really exist."
The Ghost King looked at Huang Quan and said, he had too many doubts that he wanted to know from the Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor glanced at him coldly, "Well, since you have seen its existence, there is no harm in telling you the truth."
The Ghost Emperor stood on the edge of the underworld, with his hands behind his back.
"You think that the Ghost Ruins are the ancestral land of my ghost clan. That's totally wrong. According to you, this Huangquan is the ancestral land. When you see it, you should kneel down and worship."
The Ghost Emperor mocked.
"It has been passed down from generation to generation in the clan that the Gui Ruins are the ancestral land of our clan. Could it still be false?"
The ghost king was unwilling.
"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 neither salty nor cold.
"No one knows, even the eldest person in the clan, when they mention you, they only say that you have lived a long time."
The Ghost King hesitated.
"That's of course, because no one in the history of the ghost clan has lived longer than me. I am the first generation of the ghost clan, but you younger generations don't remember that."
The Ghost Emperor sighed and looked at the yellow spring water with memories in his eyes.
"Thirty thousand years ago, which is what the world calls ancient times, this underworld fell from the sky and landed here. This place was originally a prosperous ancient city, but it was cursed because of the appearance of this underworld.
The human race mutated in a very short period of time and became what the world calls the ghost race."
"Because of the underworld, this place has become a place where the undead and dead things gather. Over time, it has become a ghost market. What is ridiculous is that as the times change, the ghost clan passes the fire from generation to generation, but forgets that they are the victims of the underworld, and instead treats them as ghosts.
This is considered my ancestral home.”
The Ghost Emperor uttered shocking words, which made the Ghost King look moved. "Are you telling the truth?"
"When the underworld fell from the sky, I was just a young child in the ancient city. I saw my home destroyed with my own eyes. Since that day, the world has been in turmoil, and an extremely terrible war has occurred..."
The Ghost Emperor sighed. He had stayed in this ghost ruins for too long and hadn't spoken so much to anyone for a long time.
After opening the conversation, he looked at Gu Chen again.
"You just asked me if I had met you before, did you mean more than a year ago?"
Gu Chen shook his head, "Senior just said it was thirty thousand years ago..."
"That statement is wrong. To be precise, you have the aura of a person I met thirty thousand years ago."
The Ghost Emperor's eyes were solemn, "Thirty thousand years ago, not long after Huang Quan came to the world, a war took place. In that war, there was a person who had a similar aura to you."
"I was still young at the time. I fainted soon after I felt the aura and fell into the underworld. When I woke up, it was already many years later. I was pushed ashore by the underworld water and changed from a child to an adult.
And the war that swept across the entire continent ended long before I was asleep."
"Many memories from 30,000 years ago have long been blurred. I have even forgotten the appearance of my parents, but I have never forgotten the breath of you."
Gu Chen was shocked when he heard what the Ghost Emperor said. It didn't sound like he was telling lies!
"More than a year ago, I entered the Ghost Ruins by mistake. Is this why the senior let me go?"
Gu Chen took a deep breath.
"You can say that." Ghost Emperor did not deny it.
"How did you live for so long?" Gu Chen emphasized, "No one in the world can escape the limitation of longevity."
This question involves the secrets of personal cultivation, and it is logical to ask it very disrespectfully, but what the Ghost Emperor said was really shocking, and Gu Chen couldn't help but dig into it.
Faced with this problem, the Ghost Emperor did not hide it, "There is a strange power in this underworld. Through it, I turned myself into a half-human, half-corpse existence, and thus gained an almost endless lifespan.
"
Gu Chen and the Ghost King thought of the Ghost Emperor's previous appearance as a mummy. They were afraid that in exchange for longevity, the Ghost Emperor had made a much greater sacrifice than the Heavenly Emperor.
Both of them gradually believed what the Ghost Emperor said. This was really a monster that had lived for 30,000 years!
"Senior, junior, I have something to ask of you."
After understanding the secrets of Huangquan here, Gu Chen looked at the Ghost Emperor and his expression became serious and serious.
The Ghost Emperor's eyes seemed to see through everything, and he responded calmly. "I understand your purpose of coming. Although I am in the Ghost Ruins, I am not unaware of the changes on the mainland."
Gu Chen couldn't help but have a look of expectation in his eyes.
"I let you go before, but that doesn't mean I will help you. Cutting off that Huangfu Qingming's luck was just because he swaggered into my territory and taught him a profound lesson, and it wasn't because of you.
"
"I have been here for many years and have no plans to leave. Huangquan Tower has nothing to do with me, so I have no reason to help you."
The Ghost Emperor's cold attitude made Gu Chen's heart suddenly sink.
He broke off the relationship with Huang Quanlou and explained that he did not treat him differently. He clearly wanted to block all his excuses.
Gu Chen frowned, the Ghost Emperor's attitude was much more decisive than he thought.
"Gu Daozi, don't believe his nonsense. If there really was no room for discussion, he wouldn't have said a lot just now. He refused so simply, I'm afraid he has a bigger conspiracy!"
At this time, the ghost king's spiritual consciousness sent a message to Gu Chen, reminding him.
