Until Gu Shen finished speaking, the Truth Ruler showed no reaction.
These words were certainly not meant for the already deceased Netherworld King—the dead are as extinguished lamps, and the Netherworld King is no different. Even though the Nether River still has traces of his once-imposed will,
Gu Shen's words cannot reach the Netherworld King anymore.
"Do you not want to say something?"
Since the Devil remained silent, Gu Shen decided to take the initiative to ask.
"What do you wish for me to say?"
The Devil replied flatly, "I am currently in your hands, so I should say what you like to hear... Hmm, I agree, understand, and fully support your choice."
"I am quite curious about what the previous holder of the Ruler did exactly."
Gu Shen calmly said, "You can't possibly know nothing, right? Since you can call out 'Nether River,' you must know something."
"..."
Silence.
The interior of the Ruler is incredibly quiet.
