Chapter 1094: I can only continue to forgive him
With divine authority in hand and peak conceptual realm cultivation, the Azure Ancient God Lord naturally believed he could control everything.
At least.
In this ancient divine kingdom, nothing can escape his grasp or stir up waves that he cannot control.
Any strong person who has reached this point will have this confidence. If they don't, it only means that they are somewhat timid. Sometimes timidity is not a sign of composure and is definitely not a good thing.
Gu Ce knew very well that his emperor was the kind of person who was completely fearless.
His confidence stemmed from his cultivation and divine authority, and he firmly believed in them. If there was anything that could make him hesitate or waver, it would be whether he could reach the end of the path to godhood.
That's it.
But now.
The expression on Qinggu Shenjun's face, though faint, was enough to prove that he had lost control of the situation!
He was wary!
The way Qingfeng and Qingren died must have been anything but simple in the eyes of the Ancient God Lord Qinggu.
Even he, who held the authority of a god, could not master this level of power; it meant he had escaped control.
Unfortunately, this power is not something Gu Ce can possess.
Otherwise, why would we have waited until today?
"Your Majesty, this power is beyond our reach. That Mr. Gu has other methods, and they are extraordinary."
Gu Ce remained calm and composed.
Of course, he couldn't directly reveal Gu Heng's true identity to the Azure Ancient God Lord, otherwise he could drive this lord mad on the spot.
"The Imperial Advisor never mentioned to me that the act of tearing apart the divine kingdom's destiny and killing the retainers!"
"What explanation does the Imperial Advisor intend to offer now?!"
The Azure Ancient God Lord let out a roar filled with boundless rage.
He was surrounded by chaotic energy, and his eyes shone as brightly as the sun, moon, and stars, yet contained a furious rage capable of destroying everything.
If not necessary.
Qinggu Divine Lord will never interrupt his seclusion.
But now, can he continue to be a cowardly turtle in peace?
He could clearly feel that the connection between himself and the destiny of the divine kingdom had become weaker than ever before, and the sense of control that was originally as easy as his own arm had suddenly become strongly stagnant!
For an emperor who cultivates the way of the dynasty, this is a blow that is even more painful than killing him!
Even so, he was able to refrain from killing Gu Ce, which shows that Qing Gu Shenjun is incredibly patient.
"Your Majesty, the destiny lies here."
Gu Ce was not in a hurry. He took out the treasure bowl containing the fortune of the divine kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of destroying the Qinggu Divine Kingdom to benefit others. It's just that the act needs to be convincing. As for the two elders... hehe, as long as the Grand Elder and I are still here, what external enemies does the Qinggu Divine Kingdom have to worry about?"
"The White Crow Divine Kingdom and the Zhu Fang Divine Kingdom are well aware of the great sacrifices our dynasty has made for this, and given that my plans are underway, they will not take advantage of our misfortune at this time."
"In the end, it doesn't matter what losses my Qinggu Divine Kingdom suffers."
"As long as His Majesty can successfully ascend to godhood, isn't everything else irrelevant?"
As Gu Ce finished speaking, his gaze held a hidden meaning.
"..."
Qinggu Divine Lord took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart and calming himself down.
He reached out and snatched the treasure bowl from Gu Ce's hands.
The self-inflicted injury plot is not hard to understand, but killing those two worshippers as bait is one thing, but why tear such a large piece of destiny apart?
This directly affects his control over destiny and will cause a serious delay in his path to godhood.
Because of this, he could have easily killed Gu Ce on the spot!
Although Gu Ce was on par with him in terms of cultivation, he possessed divine authority, so Gu Ce had no chance of winning, and even escaping would be difficult!
This damned traitor should be eliminated and punished according to the law!
But in the end, Qing Gu Shen Jun did not do that.
He opened the treasure bowl, looked at the abundant ball of fortune inside, probed it with his divine sense to make sure that Gu Ce had not done anything wrong, and then took it out with peace of mind, allowing the severed fortune to directly merge into his body.
Seeing that Qinggu Shenjun had not reintegrated the split fortune into his main body, a hint of smugness flashed in Gu Ce's eyes.
Successful.
In order to ensure that he could continue to draw power from the dynasty's fortune, the Ancient God Lord Qing Gu directly refined the fragmented fortune into his body, rather than reconstituted the broken fortune.
By doing this, Qinggu Shenjun himself will naturally be fine, and his injuries will heal quickly.
But what about the other cultivators whose fate is inextricably linked to the divine kingdom's destiny...?
They suffered real losses.
The lost fortune cannot be easily regained; it requires launching expeditions to defeat other dynasties and then reintegrating the stolen fortune into the divine kingdom's fortune—a process that can be described as slow.
Just as he had always thought, the God-King never cared about anyone or anything outside of becoming a god.
Even if his luck is severed and stolen by others, as long as he gets it back, he will refine and use it himself, and he will never care about the life or death of others.
Ha ha.
That's exactly what I wanted.
The Ancient God Lord couldn't see through the tricks he played with the fortune.
Being overconfident can sometimes be your downfall.
Gu Ce knew that Qing Gu Divine Lord would continue to forgive him, because the Qing Gu Divine Kingdom was now even more dependent on him, the traitor.
If even he is killed, the only people left to maintain order will be the Grand Elder and the Divine Lord himself.
If the Qinggu Divine Kingdom were to cut off its own arm to this extent, the Baiwu Divine Kingdom and the Zhufang Divine Kingdom would no longer tolerate it, and other imperial dynasties would also seize the opportunity to act. Even if the Qinggu Divine Kingdom had to resort to this "bitter trick" for the sake of the entire Wanchao Civilization, it would not make them hesitate.
Compared to rebels, Baiwu Divine Lord and Zhufang Divine Lord would rather deprive Qinggu Divine Lord of the opportunity to continue studying the path to godhood; having one less competitor is the most important thing.
As for those imperial dynasties, they would rather tear a piece of flesh from the Qinggu Divine Kingdom, or simply replace it!
The threat that was laid bare could not be ignored by the Ancient God Lord.
Therefore, he could only forgive Gu Ce.
No matter how bad it feels, you have to force yourself to forgive.
"This must never happen again."
"Qing Gu Shen Jun said coldly."
"Your Majesty understands that in order to lure out the rebels, our divine kingdom will have to lose face, suffer injuries, and have its fortunes decline. But I assure you, this plan will be successful!"
Upon hearing this, Qinggu Divine Lord remained silent, sank back into the darkness, and swept Gu Ce out of this secret realm.
It would be a miracle if he could still react to Gu Ce's sycophantic nonsense.
