Gu Qingshan put away the black sand in his hand.
He didn't answer right away, instead turning his gaze back to Red Ghost.
"What?" Red Ghost asked, puzzled.
Gu Qingshan seized the moment to think quickly.
Red Ghost had said that Parallel Worlds were countless illusions cast by fate. That matched what the Black Spiked Crab had said: "Parallel Worlds are a kind of smokescreen."
What were all these Parallel Worlds hiding?
And who had created so many of them?
Gu Qingshan shook his head inwardly.
That was far beyond him.
"The handful of Reincarnation Spirit-Eating Sand I have came from the Evil Ghost World. You should know that," Gu Qingshan said suddenly.
Red Ghost replied, "That's a treasure of the Six Paths. There's no way you could have stolen it—I still can't believe you actually managed to."
"Look at what happened to the Chaos Snake King. It was an opponent I couldn't defeat, yet it was sealed here according to my wishes." Gu Qingshan's expression was calm.
Red Ghost looked thoughtful.
Gu Qingshan continued, "I wanted to find this treasure in other worlds, but I searched countless worlds and never saw anything like it. In the end, I had no choice but to give it everything I had and steal it from your world."
Red Ghost sighed and had to admit, "Of course. There's only one handful of Reincarnation Spirit-Eating Sand in the Void Turbulence. The will of the Six Paths probably thought it was too evil to allow a second handful to exist."
Gu Qingshan's thoughts spun rapidly.
He'd guessed right!
This had originally belonged to the Evil Ghost World. It hadn't come from the Great Tomb in the Ten Thousand Beasts Deep Cave, nor from the sword spirit of the World-Defining Divine Sword inside the Great Tomb!
