After the interrogation, Gu Ding returned to his room, but the questioning of the others continued.

"The entire Heavenly Deity Palace is Celestine's territory. I reckon that everyone's every move is being monitored by him. Be careful. Don't talk to me. You and I can only communicate telepathically, "Neptune reminded.

"Understood," Gu Ding responded calmly.

"According to the Head Elder, they should arrange for you to meet Celestine soon. Moreover, Celestine will be very interested in you after hearing about you. You can say that your goal of getting close to Celestine has basically been achieved … "Neptune did not continue but waited for Gu Ding to continue the topic.

"I'm more worried that Bartholomew will fail. If he fails, I'll be in trouble too." Gu Ding had considered this problem. "My Absolute Seal divine power can't be used for a while. Even if I can use it, it probably won't have any effect on Heavenly Gods. Deadpool has already seen it."

"Isn't it a little too late to think about this now?" Neptune was not very worried. After seeing the horror of Red-Eyes Gu Ding, he felt that the possibility of Gu Ding dying was not high.

"I've never been the kind of person who plans ahead …" Gu Ding scratched his head. "If Mi Ke 'er is here, she should be able to think of a good way."

"Things have already developed to this point. It doesn't make much difference whether Mi Ke 'er is here or not. The difference in strength between you and Celestine is too big. If you plan earlier, or if the difference in strength is not too big, things will definitely turn around. " Neptune felt that there was no turning back. "Now our only hope is Bartholomew. If he wins, everything will be fine. If he loses, then we can only wait for a miracle to happen. "

"Miracle? You mean like when Deadpool was killed before? " Hearing Neptune's words, Gu Ding immediately remembered the fall of Deadpool and the collapse of the entire secret realm.

"Yes, just like when Deadpool was killed." Neptune did not doubt Red-Eyes Gu Ding's strength.

The next day after the interrogation ended, someone knocked on Gu Ding's door again.

"Gullot, the Palace Master has summoned you. Come with us!"

The team that came to greet Gu Ding was still the same team from the first day. The team leader looked at Gu Ding with some doubt in his eyes, but he did not ask anything.

Gu Ding followed them to the main hall again. At the entrance of the main hall, Deputy Palace Lord Conahan was already standing there waiting.

The team that led Gu Ding over bowed slightly to Conahan and turned to leave.

"Come with me." Conahan waved at Gu Ding and led him into the main hall.

The dome of the main hall was translucent, allowing light to enter and illuminate the entire hall.

Looking at the artworks on the dome, Gu Ding was a little distracted.

"Don't lie in front of the Palace Master. Just tell the truth." Conahan reminded, "We told the Palace Master about you yesterday. He admires geniuses like you. If you perform well, maybe the Palace Master will reward you with treasures."

"Yes." Gu Ding nodded, but in his heart, he did not think much of it. He did not forget the main purpose of his trip, which was to kill the Palace Master.

At the end of the hall, Gu Ding finally saw a figure standing not far away. The person was dressed in a black robe, and his back was facing Gu Ding's direction. However, judging from his build, he was even shorter than Gu Ding's current height.

"Palace Master, the person is here." Conahan's attitude was very respectful.

"You may leave. I want to talk to him alone," Celestine said with a wave of his sleeve.

"Yes!" Conahan did not object because he did not think that Gu Ding had the ability to pose any threat to the Heavenly God-Level Palace Master.

After listening to Conahan's footsteps until they were far away, Celestine spoke. "I've heard about what happened to you."

Gu Ding did not speak. He was currently less than twenty meters away from Celestine and had entered Bartholomew's combat range. However, he was also waiting for an opportunity to take out the ice coffin. If he acted rashly now, he could not rule out the possibility of Celestine killing him directly.

"You're quite lucky to be able to obtain an Abyssal Soul Crystal and increase the strength of your soul. Can you tell me how you got that black crystal? "Celestine still did not turn around.

Gu Ding also blurted out the words that Neptune had taught him before. "Three years ago, I accidentally saw it at a street stall in Awati City. I thought it was strange, so I bought it. The stall owner originally wanted ten Blood Crystals, but in the end, I bought it for only two Blood Crystals. "

"Awati City? It's a subsidiary city of Ural City, right? Was there only one black crystal at that time? "Celestine continued to ask.

"Only one." Gu Ding nodded.

"Did you ask the seller where he got the black crystal from?" Celestine was obviously very concerned about this matter.

"I didn't ask at the time because I didn't know what it was. However, that night, after I consumed it, I noticed that my soul had become stronger. It wasn't until seven days later that I regained consciousness. After I woke up, the first thing I did was to go to the stall owner's stall. I wanted to ask him what the black crystal was and where he got it, but the stall owner was gone. I waited for a few days, but he never appeared again. I asked the other people who set up the stall nearby, but they didn't know where the stall owner went. After that, the matter was left unsettled, and I never got an answer. "The story that Neptune had made up for Gu Ding was almost watertight, and he had no choice but to believe it.

"I see … Do you still remember what the stall owner looked like?" Celestine was still not willing to give up.

"I didn't pay much attention to the man's appearance at the time, but if I think about it carefully, I should be able to remember what he looked like." Gu Ding nodded.

"After we get out of here, I'll find someone to help you describe the man's appearance." Celestine was quite satisfied with Gu Ding's answer.

He was silent for a moment before he changed the topic to the arcane realm.

"I heard from Conahan and the others that you saw the scene of the Deadpool fighting Luo Linda and the others in the arcane realm. Tell me the details of that time."

Gu Ding quickly told him the whole story.

"You mean to say that an unknown powerhouse appeared in the arcane realm and killed the Deadpool, and the battle between the two destroyed the entire arcane realm?" Celestine found it a little unbelievable. As a Descender from another dimension, he naturally knew how terrifying the Deadpool was. If what Gu Ding said was true, it meant that there was an existence hidden in the Caspian Sea of the gravel world whose strength was no weaker than his.

"This is just my guess, because before the Death Servant fell, I fainted. When I woke up, I saw that the entire arcane realm had almost collapsed. "Gu Ding was telling the truth.

"You were so close to the Deadpool. Did you see anything unusual before you passed out? For example, the tremor of space caused by the arrival of a powerhouse … "Celestine continued to ask.

"I didn't see it, but I heard from others that there was a period of darkness in the entire arcane realm. It was as if the entire arcane realm suddenly fell into darkness at night, and you couldn't even see your own fingers in front of you. However, I didn't see it. It probably happened while I was unconscious, "Gu Ding added.

"Yes, Conahan told me about this." Celestine nodded. "I don't have any other questions for the time being. If I have any other questions, I'll get someone to inform you."

"To be honest, you're also the genius with the most potential I've seen in so many years. Work hard on your cultivation and reach true god-level as soon as possible. I'll give you a gift too! "

As Celestine spoke, he casually tossed out a palm-sized bottle. The bottle with green patterns landed steadily in Gu Ding's hand.

"There's a drop of tenth-rank True God's true blood in this bottle. When your physical strength is strong enough, you can absorb it. There's a certain chance that you'll get an epiphany," Celestine explained.

"Thank you, Palace Master." Gu Ding put the bottle into his Storage Space.

"Alright, you can leave now." Celestine waved his hand.

"Actually … I also have a gift for you, Palace Master." Gu Ding did not turn around and leave as he was told.

"A gift for me? Interesting. Take it out and let me see. " Celestine did not think that Gu Ding had the ability to cause any harm to him. When he heard that Gu Ding wanted to give him a gift, he suddenly became a little curious.

Only then did Gu Ding take out the translucent ice coffin from his Storage Space. Then, he quickly retreated.

When Celestine saw the coffin, he was obviously stunned. However, at that moment, the lid of the ice coffin automatically opened, and a person floated out of the coffin.

"It's you?!" Celestine recognized Bartholomew in the coffin at first glance.

Bartholomew did not reminisce with him. Instead, he opened his mouth and twelve pillars shot out of it. They grew from the size of needles to twelve sky-high pillars, completely intercepting Celestine.

"Hmph, naive. Bartholomew, do you think you can suppress me like this? Three million years ago, you were defeated by me. Three million years later, I'm stronger than before, but your aura is weaker than it was three million years ago. "Celestine turned around, his gaze falling on Bartholomew through the brim of his hat.

"If it's just an offensive formation, it would naturally be difficult for me to win against you with my current strength. However, this formation of mine is not an offensive formation, but a soul-sealing formation. "The corner of Bartholomew's mouth curled up, and his hands quickly formed different hand seals.

As the hand seals were formed, the area surrounded by the twelve pillars began to emit a strange golden light. The light shot up into the sky as if it was guiding something.

Celestine seemed to realize that things were not good, and he began to madly attack the light curtain between the pillars. The light curtain trembled, but it remained as stable as a mountain.

"Accept your judgment!" Bartholomew's hand seals quickly ended, and under the guidance of the golden light, a huge hole suddenly split open in the sky. A black chain as thick as a bucket shot out from the hole like a giant python and swept toward Celestine.
