Gu Sheng seemed a little disappointed. He raised his hand and wanted to touch Gu Ling's head, but felt something empty, so he put his hand down again.
Outside the Palace of Ten Thousand Spirits, there were cries of grief and howling one after another. Countless lives were lost and the divine world was shaken. After all, this catastrophe was beyond his control.
This is a calamity from the Ninth Heaven, a calamity from this world, not just from the realm of the gods.
After all, it's the same everywhere, so go back if you want.
"The barrier of Wanling Palace has been reinforced by me."
Gu Ling's eyes turned: "Master, you know, that's not a problem."
Indeed, that is not a problem. Why can't you get in when you are at the door of your home?
All Gu Sheng needs to do is open the Ascension Platform.
……
Shengxiantai had been abandoned for a thousand years, and it would take time to open it. Before that, Jiang Nian arrived.
Perhaps it was the law of karma. From a distance, Jiang Nian saw the two people kissing.
Unlike the passiveness in front of him, between Feng Xiuran and Gu Ling, Gu Ling was the active one.
He stared at the two men, and the blood in his body ran cold.
He always seems to be not chosen by others and is losing all his life.
And Gu Ling abandoned him twice.
Jiang Nian has always been self-aware. He knows that if he steps forward, he will be abandoned for the third time.
He can fail once or twice, but not three times. He will not tolerate failing for a third time. At least now is not the best time.
Gu Ling saw a familiar figure from behind, and suddenly, his lips were bitten: "This is a farewell kiss, can you please concentrate?"
Feng Xiu Ran shrugged her nose, a little dissatisfied with Gu Ling's distraction.
After returning to the God Realm, Feng Xiu Ran will first go back to the clan to check on the situation, and Gu Ling will also go to find Gu Sheng, so the two will be separated for a while.
Gu Ling kissed him on the lips a few times and pinched his face: "It's time to go."
When it came to serious matters, Feng Xiu Ran was preoccupied with her own affairs and worried about the safety of her clansmen, so she stopped acting like a petty tantrum.
They returned to the divine realm, and Jiang Nian attended the clan leader's succession ceremony as promised.
In just three days, riots began in the human world.
During the thousand years, some of the monks who were stuck at the last stage of the tribulation period took a nap, some had a meal, and without any warning, they attracted the tribulation of thunder.
The big guys in the Tribulation Crossing Stage ascended to the God Realm one after another. Soon after they left their mortal bodies through the Ascension Platform, they were frightened by the chaos in the God Realm and their hearts began to beat wildly. Some of them were killed by the group of lunatics in the God Realm just after they ascended to the God Realm.
There are new gods in the divine world.
The lunatics woke up for a brief moment and scrambled to escape to the human world through the Ascension Platform.
Everything is messed up.
The energy riot that was deliberately controlled by Gu Sheng in the divine world spread uncontrollably to the entire Upper Nine Heavens. After the Ascension Platform was opened, this riot broke out with lightning speed.
The secret realms of the divine world are almost everywhere, and any god who is caught in the secret realms will not escape death.
The human world is hit by drought, heavy rain, earthquakes, and beast riots.
The demon world returned to its original state, the demons' rationality collapsed, and only the most primitive desire to kill remained.
Evil spirits are rampant in the underworld, the cycle of reincarnation collapses, and the Naihe Bridge is destroyed by the water of Wangchuan River.
Demonic world...
……
After Jiang Nian succeeded to the position of Sect Leader, the sudden chaos in the human world put the entire Sword Sect in a precarious situation. Order had collapsed, and only the most powerful could survive.
And strength requires resources, so the Sword Sect, a sect with a long history and strong background, was naturally targeted.
Jiang Nian is still in the tribulation period. He knows that the Ascension Platform has been opened, but he has no signs of ascension. He has been anxious and irritated these days and has no time to think about anything else.
After failing to reach the realm again, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a pale face.
Gu Ling...
He clenched his left wrist, and a chaotic mess of memories exploded in his mind.
There was an urgent knock on the door: "Master, are you okay?"
Jiang Nian came to his senses and returned to his original state before letting the people outside in.
He looked at Ye Shu: "Don't worry, I'm fine. What's wrong?"
This was not the first time that Jiang Nian failed in his attempt to reach a new realm. He had tried this countless times before the Ascension Platform was opened. Ye Shu did not notice anything unusual, so he felt relieved.
He put down the scroll in his hand and said, "In recent days, the sect has lost many disciples in the fight against foreign enemies. These are the casualties. There are also the distribution of the disciples' allowances, the daily expenses of the sect, etc. I have sorted them out and brought them to you for review."
Ye Shu has always done a good job in these things, and Jiang Nian always feels guilty for stealing Ye Shu's position as the sect leader.
"You can decide these matters on your own. After this crisis is over, I will pass the position of clan leader to you."
Ye Shu was stunned for a moment, then he actually laughed: "Brother, why don't you understand the painstaking efforts of our master?"
He stroked the scroll and thought of his master who had to run around outside from time to time.
"Brother, you may not know that the first thing my master taught me on the day I became his disciple was not the introductory technique, but he told me that he already had a candidate in mind for the position of sect leader, and told me not to have any other thoughts that I shouldn't have."
"To be honest, Master asked me if I had any objections that day, and I did. But now, I seem to understand Master's choice."
Ye Shu is an expert at handling sect affairs. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be the best choice for the sect leader.
However, what the Sword Sect needs now is not a Sect Leader who can manage the sect in an orderly manner, but a Sect Leader who is powerful enough to protect the sect.
The identity of the sect leader has the effect of calming people's hearts.
"Brother, what you need to do now is to work hard to improve your cultivation and take on the responsibility of protecting the sect. Don't let Master down."
Jiang Nian didn't expect Xu Kong to do all this. He was troubled and felt a little embarrassed to speak: "But I may not be able to break through..."
"I once asked Master what would happen if you could never break through. Master said..."
Xu Kong touched Xiao Yeshu's head and smiled kindly: "That child, after I first got to know him, I always wanted to take him as my apprentice, and I spent a lot of time on this. He has a strong spirit, and sooner or later, he will succeed."
Ye Shu stopped reminiscing and said, "Brother, let me say something very unethical. I don't believe you, but I believe in Master's choice."
Ye Shu left, and Jiang Nian was slow to come back to his senses.
He was a little stunned.
Being abandoned by his parents, the old beggar's death, Gu Ling's departure, everything made him fall into an irretrievable obsession.
Whether actively or passively, he never seemed to be chosen unwaveringly by anyone.
So he was unwilling and angry, and he fell in love with Gu Ling almost madly. He knew that man was fair and would not show favoritism to anyone.
Under such circumstances, as long as he is chosen, he is the only one and is no longer an optional existence.
But things did not go smoothly. He failed to impress Gu Ling, and at the same time, he lost his beloved master.
The chasm between life and death is insurmountable and inevitable, and he deepened his obsession with Gu Ling.
It's funny that he only realized now that he had been chosen unwaveringly long ago.
