Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160

Gu Jinlai, under the welcome of Emperor Bai and Emperor Yan, entered the Fire Cloud Palace.

The scene showed them reconciling and in harmony with each other.

But once inside the palace, Gu Jinlai directly said to the two principals: "I hope to speak privately with my disciples at the Evergreen Hall."

"Then we won’t disturb you, we shall take our leave first."

Both Emperor Yan and Emperor Bai were very considerate, bowed, and quickly left.

Once they left, Gu Jinlai quickly headed towards the Evergreen Hall.

Upon reaching the Evergreen Hall, after several moments of hesitation, Qin Yuyan carefully asked, "Gu... Hall Master, has something happened?"

Gu Jinlai waved his hand.

Telling them these matters would be of little significance, merely causing anxiety and adding troubles.

"I have a way to solve it."

Gu Jinlai spoke, seemingly thinking of something: "First, gather everyone here."

"They are already waiting."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinlai glanced inside the Evergreen Hall...

Indeed, everyone inside the Evergreen Hall had assembled.

At the front were the core members of the Qin family, such as the Qin Family Patriarch Qin Daosheng, the Patriarch Qin Yuanzhen, his nominal Daoist Companion Qin Yiren, and those dependent on him, like Qin Keren, Qin Lingfei, Qin Zhengfang, and others.

Following them were his disciples Leng Tianfeng and his right-hand man Wang Xuanjing, as well as Zhao Xi, Luo Jiuxiao, and others who served him.

In addition, Gu Jinlai also saw Xie Yusheng and Leng Ningshuang from Blue Star, Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, and other Gu family members who hurried over from Longevity World to the Changqing Sect, and Xin Tianqi, Lu Zhanxian, and other Lingxiao Palace members.

Although they previously followed the Demon God Warrior System, with Gu Jinlai’s achievement of Immortal Venerable status and the abundant supply of resources, within just a thousand years, most had shifted to the Mechanic path, becoming Great Dao Golden Immortals.

The number of Great Dao Golden Immortals directly under Gu Jinlai’s power was not small.

It had already reached triple digits.

With the Fire Cloud Palace’s full mobilization, the capture and imprisonment of all of them with the unstoppable might of countless Immortal Golden Immortals and Immortal Venerables obviously frightened them.

At this point, their gaze towards Gu Jinlai was no longer casual, carrying a hint of awe.

Those cultivators like Wang Xuanjing, Leng Tianfeng, and Zhou Qing, who had adapted to the rules of the New Fire Star Sea, deeply understood the principle of "saving your lips, save your teeth," and felt relieved seeing Gu Jinlai present and accompanied by high figures like Emperor Bai and Emperor Yan.

"Hall Master... You..."

Leng Tianfeng and a few others wanted to step forward and inquire.

But Gu Jinlai waved his hand: "The events of the past few years might have left you a bit unsettled, but... it shouldn’t happen again."

He said, seemingly thinking of something, and added: "If it really happens again, whether the Fire Cloud Palace or other forces ask you to do something, just do it, do not overthink it, everything should prioritize your safety."

Qin Yiren seemed to want to step forward and say something, but considering Gu Jinlai’s current status, she stopped and merely inquired: "Could it be..."

"The possibility is small, I’m just taking precautions."

"Master, if the New Fire Star Sea cannot accommodate us, why don’t we leave the New Fire Star Sea?"

Leng Tianfeng said in a serious tone.

Gu Jinlai shook his head.

On one hand, even leaving the New Fire Star Sea holds little meaning.

He can’t possibly hide forever, never to be seen.

Why should he leave now that it has come to this?

"I have my own plans; you don’t need to worry."

Leng Tianfeng listened and remained silent.

But inside, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Knowing his master was currently in a difficult situation, yet as a disciple, he couldn’t be of much help.

Made him extremely uncomfortable.

Not just him, but many others in the Evergreen Hall felt the same.

Making the atmosphere quickly become oppressive.

"Things aren’t as bad as you think; I believe you all will have a bright future."

Gu Jinlai said with a smile.

But he knew that words didn’t have much persuasive power.

Ultimately, it’s still about taking real actions.

And taking real actions...

At present, he didn’t dwell on the matter but directly said: "With the Human Clan Supreme Council, this is just a misunderstanding; once resolved, everything will be fine. Moreover, as compensation to me, the Supreme Council will be giving plenty of resources to the Evergreen Hall in the coming period, and I will allocate these resources around..."

Speaking, his tone paused slightly: "I won’t specifically announce the distribution. Those who didn’t receive resources this time needn’t be discouraged. As long as you show your talent, I will help you to the best of my ability. However, I hope you remember that the only one you can truly rely on is yourself."

Everyone felt a vague sense of foreboding upon hearing Gu Jinlai’s words.

like he’s arranging his affairs for after his death?

As Emperor Yan’s direct disciple, Qin Yuyan knew something and glanced at Gu Jinlai with some worry: "Is there really no other way?"

"I don’t know what it will exactly turn into. Perhaps the outcome isn’t as bad as we imagine. What I’m doing now is just a precaution."

Gu Jinlai said, glancing at everyone present: "Prepare yourselves and wait for the result."

Qin Yiren, Qin Yuyan, Leng Tianfeng, Wang Xuanjing, and others looked slightly gloomy.

They could only wait.

Especially Qin Yuyan, who understood some things. She knew that what Gu Jinlai was involved in was a major issue between the intelligent beings of the entire Cosmic and the Evil Gods. A mishandling could lead to a full-blown war between them.

Forget about these Immortal Golden Immortals, even Immortal Venerables, and Great Powers might fall in droves.

"No need to be overly worried or overly dejected. I’ve said before, we all have a bright future."

Gu Jinlai said, glancing at everyone.

Since he himself didn’t know if he could break through the Daoist Ancestor’s blockade and return to his own universe, he couldn’t make any promises.

Nothing should be publicized before it is accomplished.

"My incarnation will stay here for ten years. In the next ten years, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me."

Gu Jinlai said, briefly ending the gathering.

there really wasn’t much to say.

Even an Immortal Golden Immortal at the level of Qin Yuyan could serve no purpose in such a matter concerning the life and death of the universe, not to mention these Great Dao Golden Immortals present? For origınal chapters go to NoveI★Fire.net

Or even some Profound Immortals who weren’t Golden Immortals yet?

Their only role now was probably to make the Great Powers of the Human Clan feel that he truly cared for them, willing to give up resistance and choose to sacrifice for the sake of Primordial.

The Six Strongest Races needed to defend the Heart of the Cosmic against the Evil Gods’ attacks and maintain contact with each other.

In advance, these races had vaguely learned about the Primordial Reincarnation Body and the related information of the Three Saints Realm.

When Emperor Xi, Creation Immortal Emperor, and others informed them, there was almost no resistance.

Soon, each Great Power gave a positive response and began making arrangements.

Due to the contact with Gu Huang and Yuan Huang among the Human Clan and Evil God, the Evil Gods, who were initially restless and ready to break through the Heart of the Cosmic, calmed down.

Except for a few nearly irrational Evil Gods who couldn’t wait a moment and continued to attack the Heart of the Cosmic, the remaining Evil Gods were all waiting for the arrival of ten years.

And with the oldest dozen Evil Gods not taking action, the rest of the irrational Evil Gods, however strong, were generally only at the Great Immortal Venerable level. In the face of the well-built Heart of the Cosmic defense, they were essentially futile.

In this situation, within these ten years, the entire Heart of the Cosmic settled into a strangely quiet state.

Aside from occasional disturbances caused by Evil Gods, the war between the two major races almost completely stopped.

In this atmosphere, Gu Jinlai’s True Body returned to the deepest part of the Heart of the Cosmic.

As a Great Power, he easily infiltrated the Heart of the Cosmic defense line.

After all, this line of defense was mainly to prevent Evil Gods from bursting out of the Heart of the Cosmic, not cultivators infiltrating from outside.

Upon reaching the Heart of the Cosmic defense line, he did not reveal himself, but continued to go deeper.

But upon approaching a certain distance from the deep center of the Heart of the Cosmic, he had to stop.

A telepathic crisis told him that if he went further, he would likely attract the attention of the Daoist Ancestor.

Once exposed to the Daoist Ancestor’s gaze...

being obliterated would be his only end.

At once, he stopped, following his perception to try to establish a connection with the opposite universe.

As he concentrated his telepathic efforts, he gradually sensed the deepening connection between himself and that universe.

Although he still could not gain any substantial support from that universe, he could vaguely perceive some scattered individuals within this universe...

"One hundred and three, among them, seven, most clearly perceived."

Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.

Seven, this number quickly made him think of something.

"Creation Divine Artifacts, and some large Cosmic Oddities forged into powerful Supreme Immortal Devices!"

He could even vaguely determine the locations of these Creation Divine Artifacts and Cosmic Oddities.

"Very good, whether Creation Divine Artifacts or Supreme Immortal Devices forged from them, all contain the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos of this world. Although these powers cannot match the Power of Authority wielded by the Daoist Ancestor, at crucial moments, they can be used to interfere with the Daoist Ancestor’s Power of Authority..."

Bright light gleamed in Gu Jinlai’s eyes.

The level of interference is ordinary, but in such a confrontation, even the smallest flaw can be infinitely magnified.

He slightly judged the position of the nearest Creation Divine Artifact and then no longer hid, quickly moving to join the Great Power in that direction.

He still needed to borrow the native Great Powers’ aura in this newborn universe to enter the deep center of the Heart of the Cosmic smoothly.
