Chapter 610

Gu Ding asked this question because he was confused. Logically speaking, Bartholomew's cultivation was already at Heavenly God-Level, and his soul strength should be at Heavenly God-Level as well.

The souls of all living beings in this world were particularly fragile. With the strength of Bartholomew's soul, he could easily wipe out all living beings. Therefore, the possibility of someone causing Bartholomew's death should not be high. The most likely explanation was Heaven's Wrath.

However, Bartholomew shook his head. "It's not Heaven's Wrath. Due to the limitations of space-time rules, Heaven's Wrath cannot fall on me. My soul was destroyed by someone. "

"Destroyed by someone? But as far as I know, the souls of all living beings in this world are extremely weak. How could anyone possibly destroy your soul? "Gu Ding's face was full of disbelief when he heard this answer.

"Of course, the person who destroyed my soul wasn't a native of this world. It was an outsider." Bartholomew then told the whole story.

"When I came to this world more than three million years ago, the humans in this world were not fully civilized yet. They lived like savages who ate raw meat and drank blood. Therefore, I taught the savages how to use flames, how to use words, how to make and use tools … I brought human civilization to this world.

"The civilization has been passed down from generation to generation, and I have taught them more and more things, including array formations, medicine refinement, tool refinement … There have also been many talented people who have learned what I have taught them and passed it on to the next generation. The civilization of this world has evolved by leaps and bounds in the past tens of thousands of years. "

"To show their respect for me, they built a Divine God Temple for me and carved a statue of me. The development of civilization was on the right track, and there was no longer any need for me to stay in this world. Therefore, I chose to leave and prepared to go to the next destination.

"However, a few days before I was about to leave, another outsider arrived. The outsider was a powerful soul cultivator, but his physical body was extremely weak. He discovered something special about this world and felt that it was a good place to cultivate one's physical body. Therefore, he began to use special methods to devour the living beings of this world, including the humans of this world.

"After I noticed this, I fought with him a few times. In the end, he destroyed my soul with a soul attack. As for my physical body, it was too tough to devour, so it was stored away by him. He was prepared to devour it after his physical body reached the Heavenly God Realm. After killing me, he went into closed-door cultivation. He wanted to break through to the Heavenly God Realm in one go. "

"Not long after he went into seclusion, my soul was revived. At the same time, I discovered that my soul and body were completely incompatible, and I couldn't leave this world at all. Left with no other choice, I could only escape. I brought my physical body to the bottom of the Innate Blood Pond that I discovered earlier, and opened up this kind of tomb. He then used his Soul Force to modify this space with a formation, completely hiding himself and waiting for a qualified inheritor to appear. "

"After millions of years, I've finally arrived. I didn't expect it to be an outsider." Bartholomew was pleasantly surprised by Gu Ding's arrival.

"Millions of years have passed, and no one has come here?" Gu Ding asked curiously. After all, in this world of physical cultivation, there should be no shortage of talented people who could improve their physical body to the same level as their Emperor Body in the Abyssal Blood Pond.

"The rules I set are more special. One is to stay in the Abyssal Blood Pond for 100 days, then you'll be automatically transported into the tunnel at the entrance. The other is to reach the bottom of the Abyssal Blood Pond, find the location of the tunnel, and enter it voluntarily. In addition, after entering the tunnel, no matter how fast you swim, you'll be lost in the tunnel for ten days. During these ten days, if the person who is tested flinches or stops moving forward, I'll immediately delete your memory and send you away. "

"Actually, there are many people who have successfully entered the tunnel, but you're the only one who has been moving forward in the tunnel for ten days without slowing down."

Bartholomew was obviously very satisfied with Gu Ding's performance in the tunnel.

"There's one more thing I don't understand." Gu Ding raised a new question. "If that guy is an outsider, why hasn't he left this world for millions of years? Does he know you're still hiding in this world? Even if he knows you're hiding in this world, there's no need to wait for millions of years. In millions of years, he could go to other worlds and find other cultivation resources. That would be enough to increase his strength by a lot. "

"You're wrong about a few things. First, the lifespan of a Heavenly God is measured in hundreds of millions of years. A few million years is only one percent of a lifespan. It's possible to spend so much time waiting for an enemy in the Heavenly God Level. "Bartholomew said something that defied Gu Ding's common sense.

"Second, after reaching the Heavenly God Level, the amount of cultivation resources consumed is extremely large, and it's extremely difficult to increase one's strength every time. That's why there are travelers between dimensions like us. We're actually all running around for cultivation resources. For millions of years, we might spend most of our time on the road. If we don't collect enough resources, our strength might not even increase by one rank. "

"Third, during these millions of years, the other party doesn't know of my existence. When he came out of seclusion more than three million years ago, he discovered that my physical body was missing. He searched this world for a few years before giving up. In the end, he thought that I'd escaped this world. The reason he stayed is that there's a special crystal mine in this world that can be used to increase the physical strength of a Heavenly God Level. However, the crystal mine's production rate is extremely slow, and it takes a million years to produce one. I've already looted all the crystal mines in the past. I didn't want to wait any longer, so I prepared to leave this world. "

"What's your plan then? In your current state, you can't find him for revenge, can you?" The fact that the Heavenly God did not know of Bartholomew's existence made Gu Ding feel a little relieved. However, he did not know if the uncle in front of him would take the initiative to provoke the other party.

"I haven't been idle for the past millions of years. Although I can't cultivate, I've been researching formations that can deal with him. I forgot to tell you, I'm a formation grandmaster. The reason I can avoid that guy's detection is also because of formations. In these three million years, I've researched an extremely powerful soul attack formation. As long as I can get within a hundred meters of him, I'm eighty percent sure I can kill him in one blow! "Bartholomew said this with great confidence.

"A hundred meters? In your current state, if he discovers you, you'll be killed immediately, right? How can you get within a hundred meters of him? "Gu Ding felt that the other party's idea was a little unrealistic.

"I can't do it, but you can!" Bartholomew looked at Gu Ding with a burning gaze.

"How can I get within a hundred meters of a Heavenly God? I'll be killed the moment I get close. "Gu Ding shook his head. He was not arrogant enough to think that he could deal with a Heavenly God.

"I'm not asking you to approach him quietly. I'm asking you to approach him openly." Bartholomew laughed. "Every time that guy Celestine wakes up from his deep sleep, he'll use the name of the Heavenly God Palace to hold a martial arts competition and invite all the genius martial artists to participate. His purpose is to see what these human ingredients of his look like before they're ripe, and to give him a sense of anticipation. I also sensed that he woke up more than three months ago. It's estimated that in a few months, during this world's New Year, he'll hold another martial arts competition.

"Every martial arts competition, he'll watch as the Heavenly God Palace Master. As long as you get into the top three in the martial arts competition, he'll personally award you the honor. Then, I'll be able to make my move."

Gu Ding frowned slightly after hearing this. "Without exposing my identity as an outsider, even if I unleash my full combat effectiveness, my physical strength is at most second-rank True God's. There will definitely be a lot of ninth-rank True Gods participating in the competition. It's impossible for me to get into the top three. "

"The competition of this Martial Arts Tournament is divided into different levels. There's a level below half-step True God, a level below half-step True God, and then a level below True God. The three different levels are for the competition. Therefore, there are actually nine people in the top three. If you participate in the competition, you'll be participating in the half-step True God level. With your strength, it won't be difficult for you to get first place. "

"I hope to get your help, not only to avenge myself, but also to get rid of an evil person who eats people for fun. Of course, my help won't be free. Whatever you want or want me to do for you, I'll do my best to help you. " Bartholomew knew that this kind of thing could not be forced. Not only did he need Gu Ding's help for his revenge, but he also needed Gu Ding's help if he wanted to leave this world. Otherwise, he did not know how long it would take for him to wait for the next person.

"Gu Ding, promise him!" Neptune communicated with Gu Ding telepathically. "You don't have to worry about any danger. If this guy wants to leave this world, he has to rely on you. Therefore, he'll definitely do everything he can to ensure your safety first. Moreover, if you promise him, we'll have many conditions in exchange. "

Gu Ding was not thinking about these issues. What he was thinking about was that if he did not kill the guy named Celestine, who knew how many people would suffer after he left this world. Moreover, if Celestine could harm this world, he might harm a second or third world in the future.

When he thought of this, he immediately nodded. "I promise to help you!"
