Chapter 727 Master, is she your disciple or your beloved son?
Chapter 727 Master, is she your disciple or your beloved son?
As more than a dozen celestial beings entered, all the saints immediately fell silent, keeping their eyes fixed straight ahead and trying to minimize their presence.
"Junior brother..."
"I have already sent a telepathic message to my master."
Before Emperor Ziwei could finish speaking, Gu Qing interrupted.
The Purple Star Emperor, along with the three Celestial Beings who came together, were all Celestial Beings who had reached the twelfth level of cultivation, and it was unknown how long they had been stuck at their bottleneck.
Their eagerness to see the Star Mother must be because they are seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough.
"Thank you, junior brother."
The crowd could not hide their excitement.
Especially the four leading figures, including the Purple Star Emperor, were all at the peak of the twelfth level of cultivation.
For these seekers of the Tao who are single-mindedly devoted to it, the inability to break through means they remain forever stuck at this point, never seeing an opportunity for a breakthrough.
This despair and helplessness is even more unbearable than killing them.
"No need for thanks. Whether Master is willing to see you depends on Master's mood."
Gu Qing shook her head slightly, but she didn't have any ill will towards these people, nor did she look down on them.
After all, this is a matter between them and the Star Mother.
It was their own choice to take this path, and it had nothing to do with him.
After much hesitation, the Holy Mother of Stars finally decided to meet with them.
He changed into a star-studded imperial robe and wore a star-studded crown. Mysterious light flowed from the robe, which seemed to contain the endless universe.
The Holy Mother of Stars stepped out of the cave and sat down next to Gu Qing.
Her gentle and beautiful face possessed an overwhelming majesty that was impossible to look directly at, as if she were a supreme deity at the center of heaven and earth, at the end of the universe, sacred and inviolable.
"Meet the Master."
"Greetings, Master."
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
They finally saw Our Lady of the Stars again.
The crowd looked fervent and devout, as if they were worshipping a deity.
But in an instant, everyone froze when they noticed that the Holy Mother of Stars was sitting next to Gu Qing.
They were once disciples of the Star Mother, and were greatly favored, but they had never come within ten feet of the Star Mother.
What makes Gu Qing think she can do that?
The group of celestial beings were somewhat on the verge of collapse.
Looking at these familiar yet utterly unfamiliar faces, the Star Mother's red lips trembled, and her beautiful eyes revealed a look of reminiscence.
After a long while, she shook her head and parted her red lips slightly: "From the moment you chose the path of ruthlessness, from the moment you ceased to be of one mind with me, we were no longer on the same path."
"Those who follow different paths cannot make plans together; your path is not here with me."
Upon hearing this, the sages were fine, since it was none of their business.
They were merely disciples and grand-disciples of Our Lady of the Stars; many saints were even seeing Our Lady of the Stars for the first time.
The celestial being's face turned deathly pale instantly, and a look of panic appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger in his heart.
What kind of nonsense is this? It's not her problem.
They cultivate the Great Dao that she passed down. As long as the Holy Mother of Stars is willing to guide them, preach to them, and bestow upon them the Great Dao of the Sovereign God.
They are 70% confident of making a breakthrough.
The four members of the Ziwei Emperor group had gloomy faces, their eyes filled with resentment and anger, and they questioned him angrily.
“Master, you always say that you cultivate the path of compassion, but when you become ruthless, you are ten thousand times more ruthless than those of us who cultivate the path of ruthlessness.”
"Master, do you truly have no regard for the bond between master and disciple?"
"Does cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness mean we are no longer your disciples?"
How could Master be so narrow-minded?
As the Star Mother watched her four disciples' faces gradually contort into grotesque expressions, she clenched her jade-like fingers and rubbed them together.
"Master..."
Gu Qing was shocked to see this and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know where to begin.
After all, he didn't know the grudges between them, only that the disciple of the Star Mother had broken a taboo, but it wasn't unforgivable.
In such an unclear situation, the more you say, the more mistakes you make.
"My disciple, do you also think your master is wrong?" The Star Mother's beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with shattered stars, fragile yet bright.
Gu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Master, there's no need to be so conflicted. Everyone has the right to choose. There's no right or wrong. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
"Yes, my disciple is right."
"Since you no longer believe in me and are no longer loyal to me, why should I give you opportunities and good fortune?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Stars seemed to have seen through the illusion. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her hesitant expression became extremely firm.
In her view, not being completely loyal to her was tantamount to being completely disloyal.
She doesn't need apprentices with weak wills.
Moreover, the fundamental reason she chose to part ways with these disciples was not because they chose the path of ruthlessness.
She wasn't so narrow-minded as to be unable to tolerate other great paths.
In fact, they can forge their own paths, and even if the great path goes against her, she may feel disappointed, but the growth of her disciples will also make her feel gratified.
But she made a terrible mistake: she intended to lead the entire sect to transcend, unify the Origin Continent, and establish a supreme religion.
But at the crucial moment, these traitors, fearing for their lives, joined forces with many ruling gods to put pressure on her.
If it weren't for the thought of their endless years together, the Star Mother would have killed these traitors one by one long ago.
"Master, we have never betrayed you."
"Now that things have come to this, does Master still not understand that there are countless powerful beings on the Origin Continent, whom we simply cannot match?"
"We chose to end the war, all for the sake of our religion."
"Master, please stop being so stubborn..."
The group retorted angrily, trying to persuade the Star Mother that it was not that they were afraid of death, but that the situation was hopeless.
So many sovereign gods met their end, even Gu Jun, Ni Xiao, and Tian Xu chose to cease hostilities and withdraw.
How could the Star Mother and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden alone possibly contend with the ruling god of the entire Origin Continent?
Their choice to join forces with outsiders to put pressure on Our Lady of the Stars was all for the sake of the religion and Our Lady of the Stars.
Why couldn't the Star Mother understand their good intentions?
"Pfft!"
Gu Qing couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
In his heart, the Holy Mother of Stars, who was like a god, emperor, or venerable deity, suddenly became a stubborn and unyielding old relic.
This is absolutely hilarious.
The image of the Holy Mother of the Stars, which was so magnificent in his heart, collapsed at this moment.
The assembled saints originally did not intend to laugh.
Hearing the question from the celestial being, everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts and prayed incessantly that they would not act impulsively and would not anger the Holy Mother of the Stars.
After all, the Celestials are the backbone of the Divine Cult. If they were killed or expelled from the sect by the Holy Mother of Stars in a fit of anger, the Divine Cult would suffer a great loss.
But seeing Gu Qing laugh out loud, and glancing at the celestial being who was cursing like a street urchin, a smile welled up in my throat.
Don't laugh, don't laugh.
Everyone took a deep breath, suppressing their laughter.
They are not Gu Qing; they do not possess Gu Qing's celestial cultivation level, nor his Daoist master.
Once you start laughing, your life or death is uncertain.
However, the image of the celestial being as tall and majestic as an immortal collapsed completely at this moment.
Even the Holy Mother of the Stars doesn't seem so sacred and inviolable.
"Rebel!"
The Holy Mother of Stars was furious and slapped her traitor on the back of the head with a big slap.
This traitor not only didn't help her fight against the enemy, but he even mocked her.
I'm so angry!
"he……"
Even if everyone was stupid, they knew that Gu Qing was different from them, his personal disciples.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions somewhat distorted.
"Master, is he your disciple or your beloved son?"
