Chapter 97: We Will Never Dare To Forget The Great Favor From The Ruler Of Humans

Changxi had once thought that she had never walked into the heart of this man.

This man had never cared about her and had only treated her as a tool that could help him comprehend his dao.

But now, this same man had resolutely given up the chance to step into the Great Emperor realm.

“Since you had me in your heart, why did you do that to me later on?”

Changxi’s heart was filled with complicated emotions and confusion.

Back then, this man had heartlessly sealed her cultivation and trapped her on the Sun Planet.

He had let her be burned by the sun’s true rays and destroyed her Sacred Moon Body. No matter how she pleaded, or how she asked, this man did not utter a single word from start to finish.

That heartless, distant stance made Changxi feel like she had been betrayed by the world overnight. The pain was almost impossible to bear.

After that, her heart frosted over and nobody had ever been able to melt it ever since.

She had already hated him for so many years. Why was she now allowed to see the gentle side of this man again?

It was too difficult to describe the pain that she was experiencing right now.

…

Gu Changqing took that step back.

He held the seal of the ruler of humans with one hand and looked at the humans below.

A moment of silence later, he placed the seal within the ancestral temple of the human race.

“In a world of constant fighting, consisting of thousands of races, the human race is very weak!”

“Today, I will use this seal to improve the qi of the human race. May the human race live forever, may their fire keep burning forever!”

In that moment.

Countless Beixuan Continent cultivators were shocked.

“An immortal weapon is something so precious, yet the ruler of the humans did not think to keep it for himself, and used it to improve the qi of humans.”

“The ruler of the humans has shown great kindness, we will never dare to forget the great favor from him!”

Countless mortals felt their eyes well up with tears.

“The human race is very weak and we are like mere ants in this era where thousands of races constantly fight each other. Nobody has ever considered our race before.”

“But today the ruler of the humans has shown kindness, has taught us humans the way, has given us an unyielding will and left for us an ancient immortal weapon.”

“We bow down and thank the ruler of the humans!”

Many people were laughing heartily as well.

“Hahaha! Everyone thinks the humans are easy to bully! They laugh at us for not having an Emperor!”

“But now, we have one! Our race will surely rise! We will surely rise!”

…

Outside the mirror.

The looks on the cultivators matched those of the cultivators in the mirror.

All of their faces were filled with surprise! With bewilderment!

When the seal had landed in Gu Changqing’s hands.

Everyone felt their hair stand on end, afraid that the Heavenly Emperor secretly possessed a trump card and that he would suddenly emerge from within the mirror.

But to their surprise.

The Heavenly Emperor had left this incredible immortal weapon in the ancestral temple of the human race after obtaining it.

“That’s an invincible immortal weapon! He hasn’t yet entered the Great Emperor realm and he’s about to face a mighty enemy, so it’s hard to predict if he’ll come out of it alive. How did he manage to convince himself to leave this weapon behind?”

“He was even willing to give up his Great Emperor dao fruit, I don’t thin an immortal weapon means much to him.”

“That’s one thing, but seriously, right now, the Heavenly Emperor truly wants the best for both humans and the Moon Goddess.”

“I’m beginning to wonder if the Heavenly Emperor is really going to slay the humans. Based on what I’m seeing now, there’s no way the Heavenly Emperor would do that!”

What the Heavenly Emperor had done in the mirror had won the respect and admiration of several cultivators.

Whether it was a Great Emperor dao fruit or an immortal weapon, these were unimaginable temptations to cultivators.

If any of them were in his shoes now, a large majority would choose to keep these for themselves and never sacrifice them for anybody else.

But not the Heavenly Emperor.

The great love that this man had shown was deeply moving!

Ye Chen’s expression was getting a little aggressive now. His expression was as dark as the bottom of a burnt pot.

What the heck was this even!!

He had noticed that these cultivators were just like grass growing on a wall, just swinging to whichever side could impress them. They were so angry with the Heavenly Emperor just seconds ago, and now, they were praising him again!

“This damned Heavenly Emperor! Exactly when is he going to start killing humans?!”

Ye Chen was furious inside.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally said, “The Moon Goddess saw the Heavenly Emperor slay humans with her own eyes. Do you think she would lie to you?”

“Am I right, Moon Goddess?”

Ye Chen cleverly pulled Changxi back to his side with these words.

Changxi looked a little conflicted as she nodded and said quietly, “There is no lie in that. I did see it with my own eyes.”

“Besides, we’ve heard since a long time ago about the Heavenly Emperor massacring the humans before. There is no smoke without fire – if the Heavenly Emperor had never done such a thing before, there would be no such rumor, would there?”

“It’s just that the humans are weak and so their anger doesn’t count for much and all of you just didn’t notice it.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask the human cultivators among us. Ask if they remember the feud that happened back then.”

Changxi had just spoken those words.

Two Palace Tempering human cultivators immediately came forward from afar. “That’s right, the Heavenly Emperor did massacre humans. That’s something that all humans know about.”

“That’s right! One of my own ancestors died protecting a city during that massacre! The Heavenly Emperor is our enemy and we will not let him live!”

Everyone fell silent.

Even though they still found it hard to believe that the Heavenly Emperor would massacre humans, clear evidence was standing right before their very eyes.

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up when he saw the two cultivators and said approvingly, “Come, come, both of you, stand a little further in front.”

He had discovered that these cultivators were easily swayed, so he had to find a few humans to fortify the warring hearts of the Justice Alliance.

…

Gu Changqing placed the seal within the ancestral temple of the humans.

After that, his calm, unchanging gaze looked toward Taixing Mountain, which lay beyond the endless spacetime.

He took one step forward.

The planets and stars shifted and spacetime was broken.

The next moment, he appeared among the peaks of the Taixing Mountain range.

The Taixing Mountain range was humongous and the peaks went insanely high. It went into the clouds and was covered in thick fog. It was especially cold there.

On the peak stood an old person sitting between the void. This person had an ordinary face, but his gaze was especially fierce and spewed murderous intent.

This old person’s aura wasn’t that terrifying, but it gave off a feeling that this person was secretly extremely dangerous. Those eyes, especially, looked like they could see through everything. It hid endless murderous intent.

Gu Changqing ignored the old person.

He just glanced at the old person, then moved his gaze to the other side.

In that space was a cage formed by the weaving of dao laws.

Inside that cage was a woman in white, lying in a curled position.

The way her chest moved up and down showed that her breathing was calm and steady.

She wasn’t in too much danger.
