It turned out the Tide Sound Sword had been forged by the Four Gods of the past.
Gu Qingshan sighed and murmured, "I should have figured it out sooner."
All this time, neither the artificial soul-weapon "god" from the Ancient Era nor the myriad gods born from the blood that seeped from the Seal Corpse had possessed a power as great as "soul liberation."
So the giant phantom he had seen atop the Glacier Peak of the Gods had to be above all the other gods.

Gu Qingshan recalled that scene from before and fell into a daze.
After a long while,
he finally asked, "Since you recognized it as the Water God's weapon-book, why didn't you come out and say hello?"

"At least you could've made an introduction, so it wouldn't attack us," Gu Qingshan said.
The Book of the Seabed replied sourly, "There was no point. It has an extremely clear objective, and everything it does revolves around it. My appearance wouldn't make it abandon that objective."

"What exactly is it trying to do?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"I don't know. It seems to have entered a new mode. I have no idea what it'll do."
The Book of the Seabed continued, "I suggest you keep your head down for now. See what happens in this world, then decide what to do."
"That's what I was thinking, too," Gu Qingshan said.
