Chapter 418: Chapter 100 Aftermath, the Disappearing Sword Tomb (Vote for Monthly Ticket)Only Xu Shu and Wuxin present knew the true name and origin of Tailed Ksitigarbha, and just like that, he disappeared without a trace.

Even before he left, he gave Xu Shu a small gift.

It was a complete set of Erosion Crystals belonging to Lance, the Third-order Earl, perfectly intact from First Rank to Third Rank, linked together without missing a single one.

It was indeed a bit too enthusiastic, but wasn’t that a wonderful thing?

However, what surprised Xu Shu wasn’t that, but something else he noticed.

Before Tailed Ksitigarbha left, his phrase, "Such is fate, inevitably inescapable, and so are you!" sounded very familiar. It was indeed identical to the voice of Ksitigarbha in the legendary "Ruins of the Dead."

Combining this with what he had once seen of the "Death God," "King of Infinity" Althias, with those horrifying and dreadful tentacles...

"Tailed Ksitigarbha, is indeed a fusion of the two, and most likely neither came out on top; it seems they exist in a state where both coexist, each with its own will..."

"And then, he says to me, ’you are the same,’ this..."

"It seems Ksitigarbha recognized me. Did he recognize that I am ’Broome Arthur,’ who once had an encounter with him?"

"So, are these Erosion Crystals a welcome gift for an old friend?"

The more Xu Shu thought about it, the more it seemed so; otherwise, it wouldn’t explain why he would give him a gift upon leaving.

One can only say that befitting a Divine-level existence capable of sensing the Tai Chu Scroll’s journey content and observing some "future visions."

Such a capability, to discern that "Arthur" was indeed his alter ego, wasn’t surprising at all.

After all, there was precedent for this; Ksitigarbha in the legend had once said, "Arthur’s fate lies in the Capital City," a statement obscure to others, but Xu Shu himself knew it referred to his other alter ego in that parallel space-time, "Shen Valley First-class."

"However, these two true gods have fused together and left the ruins, er, did I cause this to happen? But Tailed Ksitigarbha existed as an Evil Spirit before I entered the ’Ruins of the Dead,’ so this obviously has nothing to do with me."

"Nothing chaotic will come out of this, right?"

"Forget it, this world is already chaotic enough; even if one or two gods are added, it shouldn’t cause much of a ripple..."

Xu Shu was quite dismissive.

He would shake his head from side to side, then nod thoughtfully, then touch his nose with a sheepish expression.

Wuxin, who was next to him, finally couldn’t hold back.

"Comrade, are you poisoned? Why such a rich array of facial expressions?" Wuxin couldn’t help but ask.

At this point, Wuxin truly considered Xu Shu as her "Star Group," "Extinguishing Road Traveler" kith and kin.

Therefore, in her words, there was actually a touch of concern, truly heartfelt and sincere.

This even made Xu Shu feel a bit ashamed.

But apart from shame, there was more bitterness.

After all, the truth was that he was constantly deceiving her, and if nothing unexpected happened, this deception must continue flawlessly, with occasional patches applied to prevent any giveaway.

When you tell one lie, you must fabricate more lies to maintain it.

Like Xu Shu now, he must strive to appear as if "we truly are comrades in arms."

Otherwise, Wuxin, as a Third Rank being, a Cultist whose mind was completely brainwashed by their doctrines, might create discord, and everyone present would forfeit their lives if things went awry.

And the thought of her likely following him around for a long time, living a life of hidden danger, always on guard, made Xu Shu feel even more bitter.

Setting aside future matters for now, when Xu Shu saw Wuxin’s gaze also fall upon the Erosion Crystal, his heart couldn’t help but ache again.

Great, she’s taken a fancy to this spoils of battle too!

But no matter how painful it was, how much he didn’t want to part with them, Xu Shu had no choice but to muster a smile and rather obsequiously say, "Master Wuxin, these are the Erosion Crystals from inside the Alien Species Earl, still purple in color, very rare and extraordinarily precious! Please, take them."

As he spoke, Xu Shu very courteously picked up the string of complete crystals, like offering a sacrifice, and passed them over.

There was nothing shameful about it; now, whoever had the bigger fist was the boss.

And Wuxin was human, although not quite orthodox, a Cult Believer in some unknown existence, but the Star Tower would not attack her, and even if she struck now, killing everyone present, no one could restrain her, unless some official from the Astronomy Association just happened to be passing by.

So, under the eaves, one must bow; Xu Shu was very sensible and did not want to offend her.

Wuxin, however, did not accept it directly.

She waved her hand and said, "Comrade Xu Shu, you are too polite, those who serve my lord should not be brought into hardship!"

Xu Shu’s eyes lit up.

Then he received part of them, the First Rank and Second Rank Erosion Crystals.

As for Wuxin, she seemed quite pleased to take up the Third Rank part.

Because by the rules, she also served her lord, so she too could not be brought into hardship.

’This woman isn’t stupid, knowing to pick the biggest piece of cake,’ Xu Shu thought to himself, yet showed no sign of complaint on his face.

Actually, this was rightfully Wuxin’s, without her timely help, Xu Shu might not have been able to hold out safely until Tailed Ksitigarbha arrived to devour Lance.
