"Actually, from the moment my daughter was born, you had already possessed my daughter's body, right?" Guhan calmed down as he looked at the rather irascible Grandmaster Tongtian.
The Grandmaster Tongtian didn't react to Guhan's words at all, but his pupils involuntarily contracted. Clearly, Guhan had guessed correctly.
"Black Tortoise was born in the Seamless Corridor, and the Seamless Corridor is a place used for sealing.
I still remember that when she was born, a tortoise phenomenon appeared, which is why she was named 'Black Tortoise'.
At the time, I just thought that it was a simple natural phenomenon, but now it seems that it was a sign that you had possessed my daughter's body, right? "
"…" The Grandmaster Tongtian still didn't say anything, but tacit agreement was an admission. Clearly, Guhan had guessed correctly yet again.
"The Seamless Corridor is a place used to seal you. Five Saints simultaneously placed this seal on you, and even the remnant divine sense of Old Lord Taishang serves as a jailer to watch over you. Unless the Seamless Corridor is destroyed, there is no way for your true body to leave it."
"Actually, this rule isn't just for you. It is for everyone who enters the Seamless Corridor. Mortals or Saints … as long as they enter the Seamless Corridor from the outside world, there is no way for them to leave. Even the jailer, Old Lord Taishang himself, is unable to escape from the Seamless Corridor … this seems to be an unbreakable paradox."
"And if you want to escape from the Seamless Corridor, the only way is to borrow a body to be reborn. Only a newborn, pure, and flawless life that has no trace of its existence in this world can be used as a tool for you to borrow a body to be reborn … and this unlucky person is my own daughter, right?"
"At the time, I didn't quite understand why Old Lord Taishang would say that the Seamless Corridor had already lost its original purpose. I thought that something had happened to the Seamless Corridor itself, but now it seems that the prisoner responsible for watching over the Seamless Corridor has already escaped. Naturally, there's no longer any reason for the Seamless Corridor to continue existing. As for the jailors watching over the Seamless Corridor, they naturally don't need to continue working day after day, forever without end."
"Also, I actually saw an old friend on the way here. If I remember correctly, I should have sent this old friend back to his Dimensional World.
But at the time, he was still alive and kicking in the Seamless Corridor. "
"That's why I'm guessing that when I first arrived, it was at the same time that I personally ended all of the Laws within the Seamless Corridor. From the looks of it, you should have escaped from the Seamless Corridor long ago. Otherwise, there's no way I could have ended the Seamless Corridor!"
"Am I right?" Guhan asked again.
"Not bad, you guessed it right!"
This time, Sect Leader Tongtian no longer remained silent. He admitted all this straightforwardly. As a result, the final truth was laid out in front of everyone.
The first time he entered the Seamless Corridor, Guhan was just an Immortal-level sword-wielder. He had no way of understanding the Laws of the Seamless Corridor at all, and so he could only let Old Lord Taishang do as he pleased.
But the second time he entered the Seamless Corridor, Guhan had already become a Saint. And as a Saint, as soon as he entered the Seamless Corridor, he already knew the Laws of the Seamless Corridor like the back of his hand.
There were two core Laws of the Seamless Corridor. The first was that no matter how powerful one was, as long as one entered the Seamless Corridor, they would never be able to leave or destroy the Seamless Corridor.
The second core Law was that as long as Sect Leader Tongtian was still alive within the Seamless Corridor, then the first Law would never be able to be broken.
These two Laws could be said to have logically sealed off all possibilities for Sect Leader Tongtian to escape from the Seamless Corridor. Sect Leader Tongtian would never be able to escape the cage that was the Seamless Corridor.
But then again, there was no such thing as an unbreakable paradox in this world. Every paradox had its own logical flaw, and this paradox was no exception.
The biggest flaw in this paradox was that if Grandmaster Tongtian died in the Seamless Corridor, then if there was a lifeform that had been born and nurtured in the Seamless Corridor from the beginning to the end, then once this lifeform killed Grandmaster Tongtian, it would be able to leave the Seamless Corridor as it pleased. No one would be able to stop it from leaving the Seamless Corridor.
Yes, that's right. I trust that all of you who have read up to this point should understand by now. The Black Tortoise was a lifeform that had been born and nurtured within the Seamless Corridor from the very beginning. It was a lifeform that was not bound by the Laws of the Seamless Corridor, and this was the only chance for Sect Leader Tongtian to escape from the Seamless Corridor.
Thus, when the Black Tortoise was born, Sect Leader Tongtian did two things. First, he sent his truesoul into the body of the newly born Black Tortoise, merging it with the truesoul that the Black Tortoise had been nurturing. This way, Sect Leader Tongtian would no longer be Sect Leader Tongtian. To put it more accurately, Sect Leader Tongtian would become the Black Tortoise Skyspan.
To put it more accurately, Sect Leader Tongtian would be reincarnated into Yi Qing's womb, becoming Guhan's daughter, the Black Tortoise, while Sect Leader Tongtian would be nothing more than a memory of the Black Tortoise's past life.
Mm, that's more or less what it meant.
And the second thing Sect Leader Tongtian did was to use the last of his strength to allow the newly formed Black Tortoise Skyspan to kill off the remnants of his divine sense, causing Sect Leader Tongtian to truly die in a logical sense.
And thus, the core of the Seamless Corridor's existence was completely broken. Following the birth of the Black Tortoise, the Seamless Corridor had actually already lost its ability to trap others. At that time, there was no need for them to fight for the right to leave the Seamless Corridor. All they had to do was wait patiently, and the Seamless Corridor would collapse on its own … or perhaps the Saints would hasten its collapse … and yes, that's right. The person who had hastened the collapse of the Seamless Corridor was Guhan, who had entered the Seamless Corridor for the second time.
And through this acceleration, Guhan was able to confirm that Sect Leader Tongtian, who was currently in the Seamless Corridor, had already died. As for the true identity of the Black Tortoise, Guhan now had a firm grasp on it … although Guhan had already guessed the truth of the matter long ago: the ultimate BOSS who had been hiding in the shadows, the one who had plotted to destroy the entire human race, was none other than his own daughter, the Black Tortoise.
From the moment his daughter was born, she had become the body that Sect Leader Tongtian coveted, and the key to his revival.
From a certain perspective, it was his appearance that gave Sect Leader Tongtian the chance to escape the Seamless Corridor and be revived.
If he hadn't entered the Endless Corridor to search for Artoria, then Sect Leader Tongtian would never have been able to obtain a brand new body. It was Guhan who had harmed his own daughter!
But then again, from the looks of it, Sect Leader Tongtian was, in essence, Guhan's own daughter.
This was just like reincarnation. No matter what identity she had in her previous life, in this era, Sect Leader Tongtian was Guhan's own daughter.
